Chapter 57: Turn-Based Game

After waiting for half a month, Gu Yi finally allowed Oscar and the others to go to the Spirit Arena. The main purpose was to provide them with practical combat experience, rather than fighting with the same few people repeatedly.

It would also allow them to become familiar with the martial arts they had recently learned. With corresponding martial arts, it was natural to use them in conjunction with martial spirits and spirit rings for the best effect.

Even Ning Rongrong and Oscar were arranged to participate in the Spirit Arena. Oscar's requirement was to defeat his opponent. While Ning Rongrong's was to evade, the longer the better. After all, Ning Rongrong currently lacked combat capability.

Different requirements were set for each person.

It was also the beginning of truly teaching the Shrek Seven Monsters.

The first to finish the battle was Tang San.

"It seems you've been practicing the Tranquility Technique I taught you," Gu Yi could clearly feel that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had become even more vigorous than before. And during this time, Tang San hadn't absorbed any spirit rings, staying in the academy. Naturally, there was only one possibility: he was practicing the Tranquility Technique.

Tang San nodded. He had indeed been practicing the Tranquility Technique, and the effect was indeed quite good.

"I'm sure that even if I taught you how to properly cultivate your martial spirit, you wouldn't listen, Rest well." Gu Yi understood that Tang San would never turn to his theories, and the idea of the Blue Silver Emperor was also a vain hope. Naturally, he couldn't convince Tang San.

Tang San silently walked to the side. He didn't have much affection for Gu Yi. Just because he had made his teacher spit blood, this account couldn't be settled. Moreover, he could still use Gu Yi to enhance his own strength.

Gu Yi continued to wait for the next person to finish. According to the arrangement of the competition, Zhu Zhuqing was the second.

In the original work, her first opponent in the Spirit Arena was Tang San, who intentionally lost. But with Gu Yi's enhancement, and her training in more agile and versatile footwork, this place was simply like a fish in water for her. However, she still lacked mastery of the Lingbo Weibu. And she hadn't yet integrated her own spirit skills with it, but dealing with ordinary spirit masters was still easy.

But she was greeted with Gu Yi's stern face.

"Go rest first" Because there were still other people's battles to come, Gu Yi didn't immediately point out Zhu Zhuqing's mistakes.

Gu Yi found that the people in this world were extremely rigid in their thinking, even these geniuses were the same, lacking innovation. They only knew how to release spirit skills, then evade attacks, and release spirit skills again. Combat wasn't a turn-based game, and every opportunity couldn't be ignored.

Moreover, spirit skills were even easier to obtain than martial arts, requiring no learning and no prerequisites. As long as you obtained them, you could use them. But they never thought about making some changes to these spirit skills. Nor did they think about creating other abilities based on these spirit skills.

Perhaps it was because gaining abilities was too easy for them, which made them lose their ability to think. Like pigs living in a pigsty, they were fed three meals a day and didn't have to worry about eating or sleeping poorly. They didn't need to think about anything, just passively live each day.

The spirit masters on the Douluo Continent were such a group of people and they had never thought about the principles behind it. Even those who were considered masters, the strongest in the world of spirit masters, had never thought about the principles behind it.

After watching a series of battles, Gu Yi's expression wasn't good.

Among this group of people, only Oscar was a bit better, after all, as a auxiliary spirit master, he had no attack capability. He could only rely on the martial arts Gu Yi taught him to fight, and his timing was still pretty good.

Tang San's ability to fight across levels wasn't particularly surprising.

But all of them were still too primitive. They didn't know how to fight at all without using spirit skills. It was almost like playing a turn-based game.

The first time the Shrek Seven Monsters faced the world, their performance was still remarkable. Except for Rongrong, who lacked attack capability and lost, the others all achieved victory in their battles.

Oscar even had a stroke of luck, encountering an opponent who had just broken through to Spirit Elder, who happened to be a beast martial spirit user like Dai Mubai, specializing in close combat. It was a difficult victory.

The several people who had been quite pleased before, upon seeing Gu Yi's displeased expression, wiped the smiles off their faces.

"Let's go back," Gu Yi said, walking directly outside. The rest of them had no idea what had gotten into Gu Yi. In their view, their performance was already quite good.

Back at the academy.

"What do you think battles between spirit masters should be like?" Gu Yi didn't wait for their answer, but answered his own question, "You release a spirit skill, I release a spirit skill. See whose level is higher, whose spirit skill is stronger, right?" Zhu Zhuqing and the others looked at each other. Wasn't it supposed to be like that? For thousands of years, the rules in the world of spirit masters had been like this.

And there was one thing he never understood: why announce one's name and martial spirit before a battle... Shouldn't these things be kept secret? It was like undressing oneself for others to see, which didn't make any sense. To say this was a courtesy, a respect for both sides in the battle, it was indeed somewhat a elusive explanation.

But to return to the topic, what Gu Yi found most incomprehensible was the lack of any improvement in spirit skills.

"Zhu Zhuqing, your problem is the most serious," Gu Yi called out mercilessly to Zhu Zhuqing, who had performed the worst today.

"Come, attack me." Gu Yi really couldn't understand why their minds were so rigid. Perhaps it was related to the environment where from childhood they saw other people fighting like this. After all, their minds hadn't fully developed.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't waste words either, launching her first spirit skill directly.

Hell Rush Stab.

Gu Yi stood still, a invisible barrier blocking in front of him.

"Your speed is good, but where is your flexibility?" Gu Yi extended a finger and flicked it on Zhu Zhuqing's snowy white forehead. The force used wasn't great, but it was enough to cause her pain.

"The most important thing for a spirit master is their martial spirit, spirit power, and spirit rings. But the various spirit skills bestowed by spirit rings are what we really need to understand and comprehend, rather than blindly using them."

Gu Yi flashed behind Zhu Zhuqing and slapped her on the back, "Speed is the most powerful aspect of an agility-attack type spirit master. But being able to control speed at will is the excellent quality of a good agility-attack type spirit master."

After being slapped on the back by Gu Yi, Zhu Zhuqing staggered a few steps and listened thoughtfully to Gu Yi's teachings, then used her first spirit ring again. But improvising a spirit skill wasn't something that could be done so easily. Zhu Zhuqing couldn't control the speed added by her first spirit ring at all right now. She ran directly in another direction.

It seems that it would take a lot of time for them to fully utilize their abilities.
