Chapter 95: Quick Battle

"Hmph, daring to challenge the seven of us with just two people, it's truly too arrogant!" Captain Huo Xin was irritated at the moment.

The collision in the first round clearly favored the opponents.

Moreover, they were just two people, and one of them was a support.

In this situation, they couldn't afford to lose, or else the reputation of the Inferno Team would inevitably plummet.

Fortunately, the opponents, though extremely powerful in their outbreak, were not without weaknesses.

In Blazing City, they were very familiar with this style of cultivation.

Blazing Academy was exactly like that.

The academies they recruited were all exclusively Fire attribute Spirit Masters, each excelling in one aspect while having corresponding fatal flaws.

Isn't this 'ignorant scholar' the same now?

Is his outbreak so intense that he has no weaknesses?

Upon Captain Huo Xin's reminder, members of the Inferno Team also understood how to approach this match.

The seven of them dodged the Flame Tornado one after another, unleashing their own Spirit Skills.

Su Wen controlled the Flame Tornado from a distance, observing the effects of the Spirit Skills used by the seven.

Among them, two caught his attention.

One seemed to undergo elemental transformation, granting immunity to some of Su Wen's fire elemental impacts and rushing out alongside Su Wen's Flame Tornado.

The other condensed a Flame Clone, utilizing it to pass through the Flame Tornado and instantly swapping places with the original.

"Hmm? A substitution-type Spirit Skill?"

This was Su Wen's first time encountering such a Spirit Skill.

It involved the manipulation of spatial forces.

Unexpectedly, in the first battle in Blazing City, he encountered this type of Spirit Skill.

However, the Spirit Master, a slender man possessing this particular Spirit Skill, seemed to have not utilized it effectively.

He is not very old, and considering the members of the entire Inferno Team, their ages are not considered old either. Their tactical coordination is also very standardized, most likely they are students from the Academy.

However, the slender man did not appear in the original Spirit Master Competition.

Being at the Spirit Elder level, he should already have the qualification to join the team. If he can develop the tactical ability to adapt to the Flame Clone substitution, participating in the Spirit Master Competition should not be a problem.

The seven members of the Inferno Team each demonstrated their skills, dodging Su Wen's Flame Tornado and simultaneously advancing towards Su Wen.

From the first round of clashes, the Inferno Team clearly recognized Su Wen's explosiveness.

Now, the only hope is to get close.

Even though there are a few squishy members among them, even if all seven squishy members face off against one squishy member up close, the seven squishies would undoubtedly win. Moreover, among the seven, only three are considered squishy, and one of them is a fragile but high-speed melee attacker with excellent close-quarters assault capabilities.

Su Wen now has a basic understanding of the abilities of the seven opponents.

Subsequently, he manipulated the Flame Tornado to change direction, continuing to hinder the individuals behind, allowing the two opponents with elemental transformation Spirit Skill and Flame Clone Spirit Skill to join the battle.

On the spectator stands, Qin Ming, observing the current situation, was also astonished.

He never expected Su Wen's explosiveness to be this fierce.

Although he had been conducting special training with Su Wen in the past half month, Qin Ming's duty was only to supervise.

This pattern had formed before Su Wen went to obtain the Third Spirit Ring.

Su Wen's development of fire abilities had surpassed Qin Ming's teaching capabilities, and Qin Ming's role had mainly been supervision and strategic planning. The rest involved Su Wen learning from Xiao Zhan.

Now, Su Wen rarely even followed Xiao Zhan's teachings.

Ning Rongrong hid behind Su Wen, watching the two opponents about to charge towards Su Wen, a hint of pity evident in her eyes.

Such pitiful kids.

"Hmph, kid, this battle is over!"

The slender man declared when he was still ten meters away from Su Wen.

His three Spirit Rings unexpectedly shimmered simultaneously.

Three Flame Clones gathered beside him, advancing towards Su Wen alongside his original body.

Another Spirit Master with thefire elemental transformation, his Second and Third Spirit Skills were simultaneously unleashed.

Facing the two approaching Spirit Grand Masters, both seemingly capable in melee combat, Su Wen remained calm and composed.

His entire body was enveloped in swirling flames.

Even in the midst of battling with explosively fierce flames before, Su Wen's demeanor was always calm, in harmony with his scholarly title.

However, at this moment, with flames swirling around him, his aura instantly burst into an unprecedented frenzy.

From a mild-mannered scholar, he transformed into a raging berserker!

The other members of the Inferno Team, who were watching from a distance with anticipation, had their expressions drastically changed.

"Flame Overlord Body-type Spirit Skill?"

How is that possible!

With three Spirit Rings, how did Su Wen allocate one slot for acquiring the Flame Overlord Body, and how did he manage to elevate the casting and eruption of flames to such a level with the remaining two Spirit Rings?

Members of the Inferno Team expressed their confusion.

However, Su Wen didn't give them time to ponder.

He dispatched each opponent with a single punch, displaying an instantaneous eruption far surpassing his previous ranged techniques.

Flames condensed on his fists, bursting out violently upon impact, creating intense explosions.

Su Wen showed restraint, eliminating the slender man and the Spirit Master with elemental transformation Spirit Skill only after making them bleed.

In the process, he absorbed their blood, integrating it into his Martial Spirit, and replicated their Martial Spirits.

Unlike the original Oscar, Su Wen had the misfortune of not obtaining the head Spirit Bone of the Mirror Image Beast and lacked the ability to create mirror image duplicates. However, Su Wen's Replication had a slight advantage over Oscar's – it could store the replicated abilities.

Having the Simulation Spirit Skill of the Snow Silkworm is just like this.

Regardless of whether Su Wen uses it or not, he can choose to continuously consume Soul Power to maintain this Replication after a single instance.

However, different Martial Spirits have different consumption rates.

For Su Wen, the consumption of the Snow Silkworm is almost negligible, and he has been consistently maintaining its Replication.

...

Ning Rongrong's enhancement of strength and speed is evident at this moment.

The slender man and the Spirit Master with elemental transformation Spirit Skill were swiftly eliminated by Su Wen in close quarters.

"Yeah, this battle should come to an end!" Su Wen exclaimed.

He opened his right hand towards the sky, unleashing the Third Spirit Skill.

Stone Formation.

The original Fire Sea above his head dissipated, and three massive rocks descended towards the location of the other members of the Inferno Team.

This time, they easily evaded.

However, as the boulders fell, the formation was set, and an enormous oppressive force made their movements incredibly difficult.

"Damn, this is a Control-type Spirit Skill!"

Huo Xin's mind was completely blown at this moment.

He couldn't comprehend how the 'ignorant scholar' on the other side managed to control three elements simultaneously, each with such powerful effects, and without any weaknesses in both ranged and melee combat.

Now, Huo Xin felt that the 'ignorant scholar' was mocking him with his ignorance.

As the raging wind swept through, members of the Inferno Team in the Stone Formation were forced to surrender one after another.

The oppressive force of the Stone Formation was too strong, far beyond what a Spirit Skill provided by a thousand-year-old Spirit Ring should be capable of.

The outcome of the match was decided in just a short ten breaths, leaving both the audience and the host somewhat slow to react.
