Chapter 386: The Futility of Blue Silver Grass, and Mockery
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Thunder Strike!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Thunder Eagle!"
"Third Spirit Ability, Thunder Net! First Spirit Ability, Thunder Silk!"
Three Thunderclap Academy team members unleashed their strongest attacks, targeting Blazing Academy's captain, Huo Wushuang, in hopes of creating an opening for their captain to escape.
Tang San also used his first spirit ability, Blue Silver Bind, to assist, aiming to trap the four Blazing Academy members. However, his Blue Silver Grass barely touched them before it ignited from their flames!
Seeing this, Huo Wushuang laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Tang San, is your spirit ability supposed to be a joke?"
He ignored Thunderclap Academy's attacks, confident they wouldn't reach him, and continued focusing with his team on taking down Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng.
The scornful laughter not only left Tang San visibly frustrated but also spread embarrassment across the entire Thunderclap Academy team.
"Hahaha!"
The audience erupted in laughter, with even Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi chuckling at the unexpected weakness of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but be surprised at how fragile Tang San's spirit ability appeared. Realistically, Blue Silver Grass shouldn't have been this vulnerable; however, since Tang San had only used his first spirit ability, the resilience of his Blue Silver Grass was limited. If he had utilized his fourth spirit ring's area control ability, only Huo Wu might have escaped easily, while the rest would have had to struggle significantly to break free.
But fate had no room for "if only."
As it happened, Su Ming was the one who started laughing in the stands. He couldn't contain himself; without the dual fire and water resistance from the original plot, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was astonishingly weak. The memory of Tang San's proud claim in the original story, "My Blue Silver Grass is immune to fire!" made Su Ming burst out laughing again. Let's see you try to show off now!
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and her friends couldn't help but chuckle at Tang San's misfortune; they enjoyed seeing him struggle.
On the platform, Yu Tianxin tried to stay composed, but frustration leaked into his words. "Don't be so smug, Huo Wushuang. You should worry about yourself! With so many attacks coming your way, shouldn't you be concerned?"
Huo Wushuang smiled, unconcerned. "Why would I worry when I have a dependable sister? You'd better be worried about yourself!"
"Huo Chui, Huo Jun!"
At Huo Wushuang's command, the two support spirit masters exchanged glances, activating their first and third spirit rings. "First Spirit Ability, Fire Threads! Third Spirit Ability, Fire Rain!"
Attack and speed boosts washed over Huo Wushuang and the rest of the team. With a sly grin, Huo Wushuang launched his Third Spirit Ability, Tyrannosaurus Rage.
His teammates also activated their most potent spirit abilities, determined to knock the two Thunderclap Academy spirit masters out of the arena!
Huo Yun (Fire Crane): "Third Spirit Ability, Fire Crane Clone! Second Spirit Ability, Fire Feathers!"
Huo Yu (Fire Crane): "Third Spirit Ability, Fire Crane Clone! Fourth Spirit Ability, Scorching Flames of Fury!"
Huo Lie (Fire Leopard): "Third Spirit Ability, Fire Leopard's Seven-Star Barrage!"
The attacks, boosted by the support abilities, surged forward, surrounding Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng with nowhere to escape.
"Are you insane, Huo Wushuang? Planning to take us down at any cost?" Yu Tianheng roared, furious.
The attacks were so close, barely a meter away from Huo Wushuang.
At that instant, Huo Wu, who had been quiet all along, activated her third spirit ability.
"Repelling Fire Ring!"
With a bang, Thunderclap Academy's attacks were deflected, sending their would-be rescuers, including Lei Dong, flying back.
Everyone was stunned—who could have expected Huo Wu's ability to repel both people and attacks? It was unreal.
"Oh no!" Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng shouted in unison.
Outside the ring, Yu Xiaogang and Flender watched with worried expressions. If Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng took Blazing Academy's attack head-on, they'd be seriously injured, if not worse.
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Blue Lightning Dragon's Charge!"
Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng reacted quickly, releasing their strongest abilities and activating their clan's secret Dragon Transformation to reinforce their arms and torso, enhancing both offense and defense.
Seeing that his "surround-and-rescue" tactic had failed, Tang San immediately used another third of his spirit power to cast his fourth spirit ability around Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, hoping to weaken Blazing Academy's attack.
Unfortunately, his Blue Silver Grass was simply too frail. Confronted with intense flames, it quickly turned to ash.
Tang San sighed internally; he had done all he could, hoping his Blue Silver Grass had at least absorbed some of the impact.
He then picked up an energy-replenishing sausage from Oscar and consumed it, knowing that his teammates would be eliminated soon. To stand a chance, he'd have to regain his spirit power fast.
Today's battle had gone wildly off script. Not only did Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang exceed his expectations, but Tang San couldn't even absorb the spirit power or fire attributes from Blazing Academy's other members due to Huo Wu's vigilance.
With a thunderous boom, smoke and dust filled the platform, obscuring the view for most of the audience.
But Tang San, Su Ming, and others with keen spiritual senses could still perceive that Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng were severely weakened. If they didn't receive immediate medical attention, their lives could be in jeopardy.
With a grim face, Flender turned to Qin Ming and said, "Qin Ming, go call for the healers right away. They'll need immediate treatment!"
Qin Ming nodded without hesitation, sprinting toward the medical area, hoping that a healing spirit master would be available. Although high-level healers were rare and in high demand, he silently prayed that someone would be available, given how early in the day it was.
