Chapter 404: The Talented Spirit Master of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

...

The match between Shrek Seven Monsters and Aquila Team naturally resulted in an easy victory for Shrek. The next match, however, was the most anticipated one of the day: Martial Spirit Hall Team v/s the Second Team of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Or in other words, it was a showdown between the younger generation of Martial Spirit Hall and the younger generation of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This match was full of excitement for the spectators present.

However, everyone agreed that the victory would go to the Martial Spirit Hall Team, after all, it had three Spirit Kings while the Second Team of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy only consisted of Spirit Ancestors.

Martial Spirit Hall Team sent their talented member from the Golden Generation, the one with the strongest attack power, Yan!

With his extraordinary Martial Spirit, Flame Lord, Yan possessed both fire and earth attributes. With his Level 52 spirit power, his immense strength filled him with confidence.

Yan was extremely confident, believing that he alone was enough to break through the disguise of the Second Team of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and expose the true talent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He wanted to prove to the world that Spirit Masters from the Upper Three Sects were nothing compared to those from Martial Spirit Hall.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that he had been defeated by a Spirit Master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before, someone whom he considered a rival, Zeng Yi.

"Who wants to go first?" Yan sported a smug smile on his face, disdain glinting in his eyes. Five spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, quietly appeared, flames swirling around his body. His formidable spirit power intimidated the young talents of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sitting below the stage.

Feeling the immense aura, the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also sensed the pressure.

If they were all Spirit Kings, they wouldn't be too afraid. However, there was a big difference between Spirit Ancestors and Spirit Kings. With an extra 10,000 year spirit ring, the gap was substantial.

"I'll go first." Hong Jie smiled confidently, facing the pressure of Yan's Spirit King level spirit power. Without any fear, she leaped onto the Spirit Arena.

Flames akin to red lotus burst into bloom around her tall and graceful figure, emitting a scorching heat. Waves of heat rippled, charging towards Yan on the opposite side.

Her wine-red ponytail fluttered behind her body, entwined with flames. A long spear appeared in her hand, she danced with it, sweeping horizontally, causing a powerful shockwave carrying flames to surge towards Yan.

Her formidable spirit power was in no way inferior to Yan.

Seeing this stance, even the proud Yan was slightly shocked. Although his opponent only had four spirit rings, he had assumed she was also a Spirit King like him.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect indeed had someone like her!

Fire against Fire, this was truly interesting!

Watching the woman in front of him, Yan's fighting spirit soared, flames swirling around his body burning even more intensely. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding space.

"You're quite strong for a woman, but still just a Spirit Ancestor." he said.

Hearing this, Hong Jie chuckled, "Not bad, but it should be enough to deal with you."

"Heh, your strength might be questionable, but your mouth is quite sharp."

"Since becoming a Spirit Ancestor, I have only lost to one person of the same generation. Compared to him, you are much weaker, so I don't think you're that strong." Hong Jie's expression was indifferent as she calmly stared at Yan, who exuded overwhelming momentum.

"I believe you have only recently become a Spirit King, right? Probably at the Level 52 or 53. As a low-tier Spirit King, you don't pose any pressure on me."

Listening to this woman who seemed to look down on him, Yan's anger rose uncontrollably. His eyes were about to spew flames. As a genius since childhood, he had always been admired and feared by others, and had always been ahead of other Spirit Masters. He had never been looked down upon like this.

Moreover, her spirit power level was lower than his!

Unforgivable, he could hardly restrain his anger. Fierce and intense gazes locked onto the woman in front of him, determined to make her pay for underestimating him.

Indeed, that was Hong Jie's character. She always portrayed a dismissive attitude towards the opposite sex whose strength was inferior to hers. The only one who caught her attention among her peers was Zeng Yi.

She had heard about the three super geniuses from Martial Spirit Hall who had reached the Spirit King realm at such a young age. However, as someone with exceptional talents herself, she was confident that she was not inferior to Martial Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Even if her opponent was already a Spirit King, it was only due to a couple of years of extra cultivation time. If she was the same age as them, and she could only be stronger than them!

This was what Hong Jie believed. Throughout her life, she had only lost to one person, ahem, Zeng Yi, a younger peer who had lower spirit power level than her.

As for others, she wouldn't know until she fought against them.

She also knew that in this match, her side was likely to lose because the opponents had three Spirit Kings, making them an unmatched opponent. But with Zeng Yi absent, as the strongest member of the sect, she had the duty to uphold the dignity of the sect.

At the very least, she had to defeat one of their Spirit Kings.

Ding!

Wielding her Martial Spirit Flame Crystal Spear, Hong Jie's flexible spear emitted a crisp vibration. Stepping forward and taking her stance, her eyes glittered with flames like precious gemstones as she stared intently at Yan, wearing a fanatical smile on her face.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Hong Jie, Martial Spirit, Flame Crystal Spear, Level 49 Spirit Ancestor, please enlighten me."

Hearing this, Yan couldn't help but pause. A Level 49 Spirit Ancestor, she was on the verge of breaking through to the Spirit King level, which explained her powerful aura.

However, a Spirit Ancestor was still a Spirit Ancestor, and there was still an insurmountable gap between Spirit Ancestor and Spirit Kings.

"Let the match begin!"

At the referee's command, the two opponents on the verge of confrontation instantly disappeared from their original positions. Their speed was as fast as lightning, leaving behind flames that illuminated their previous locations.

[Spirit Skill: Crimson Lotus Physique!]

Facing a Spirit King opponent, Hong Jie didn't hold back and immediately released her third spirit skill, a skill that amplified her own spirit power and flame intensity in a short period of time.

As her aura surged, the color of her flames turned into a sinister blood-red, resembling demon fire.

A flame lotus mark appeared on her forehead, while two crimson eye shadows appeared at the corners of her eyes. Her temperament became seductive and otherworldly, but this aura she emanated was not something a Spirit Ancestor should possess, it was comparable to a Spirit King.

The bizarre red flames began to engulf Yan's flames.

[Spear of Blazing Flames]

Her comprehension of the intent of the spear reached its peak as Hong Jie had entered the Realm of [Unity of Human and Spear]. This terrifying presence made Yan tremble both mentally and physically; he felt as if he was being targeted by a sharp spearhead, unable to dodge no matter how he tried.

Boom!

The blazing flames burned the air, leaving a burnt smell lingering in the space. The attack, resembling flames and lightning, created a beautiful flame tunnel on the Spirit Arena. The hard stone slabs were scorched, leaving a visible ravine.

In their first collision, Yan clearly became careless. His chest was cut open, and feeling the burning sensation on his chest, he was somewhat incredulous.

Being someone renowned for his flames, he actually got burned by flames today. It was somewhat ironic.

But looking at the woman in front of him, Yan's face turned serious. He finally believed that this person posed a threat to his strength.

Roar!

A furious roar echoed throughout the venue. Yan's clothes had been completely torn, revealing muscles as solid as steel rocks. Red light flowed beneath his skin, and flames burned all over his body.

His short hair turned into long fiery hair, while fiery patterns emerged on his upper body. Radiating with a fierce aura, he resembled a fiery demon.

[Spirit Skill: Spirit of Fiery Demon!]

"Now, this is an interesting battle!" Hong Jie showed no signs of fear despite Yan giving it his all. Her eyes, akin to flame gemstones, burned with a insane fighting spirit. With the long spear in her hand, flames swirling around her, she continued her assault.

On the Spirit Arena, two figures flickered ceaselessly, flames splashed, leaving behind afterimages, making it difficult to discern the number of moves exchanged between them.

In an instant, the Spirit Arena spanning one hundred meters was engulfed in blazing fires. The temperature of the entire venue rose significantly due to their battle, becoming scorching and dry.

This scene resembled a beautiful, valiant Fire Valkyrie wielding a spear, battling a fiery demon. The intensity and splendor of their fight were no less impressive than the previous battle between Zhu Zhuqing and Luo Ying.

Or perhaps, this battle had an even more magnificent and grandiose appearance.

The Flame Demon roared while the Valkyrie screamed in rage. Both unleashed their true flames. On the Spirit Arena, lava splattered, the shadows of spears flickered. Each collision stirred up a powerful firestorm, sweeping across the entire venue.

The spectators hadn't expected that what seemed like an inevitable victory for the Martial Spirit Hall would turn into such a difficult battle. No one had expected that a Spirit Ancestor could fight a Spirit King to this extent.

It seemed that the talented Spirit Master from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't be underestimated!

Ning Fengzhi, sitting in the chairman's seat, looked at his talented disciple, who was also his niece, Hong Jie. He was quite satisfied seeing her fight against Martial Spirit Hall's Golden Generation at this level while nodding approvingly.

Even if Hong Jie were to lose after a battle of this level, Ning Fengzhi would accept it.

From Hong Jie's displayed combat power, anyone could see that even as a Spirit Master, she had a combat prowess not inferior to that of a Spirit King. The spectators watching this match could clearly feel the strength displayed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi wanted to tell the world that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not only exceptional in auxiliary abilities; they also stood at the pinnacle when it came to combat power on this continent.
