We returned to the academy and decide to have breakfast. Arriving at the dining inside it there are Feng, Osler, Yan and Tianheng. Seeing us Feng stands up and come to us "Hoho {Merry Christmas}, something good happened? Arriving both of you late, together and with joined hands" He tap my shoulder "Even if Mayi is cute she is only a child you should wait some years". I become angry and throw a punch at him to the stomach saying "We don't have this kind of relation, hereinafter Mayi will be like my little sister so I advice to not bully her" I say with a devil hint in my eyes. Feng still with his hand on his stomach from the pain nod and quickly recuperate and stands normally "It seems that we have another member that quickly turns to hit" He does a big bow to me "I vow to the second coming of Yan!". Before I or Yan can do anything Feng activates his spirit and escape flying.
"Now seriously, something happened? We couldn't find any of you in your room" Yan ask with a hint of concern and curiosity. I answer "Nothing serious, yesterday Mayi and I found that we have fusion affinity. So after some cultivating together both advanced one rank. Having Mayi broke through rank 30 she needed a spirit ring so we went to Star Dou Forest and obtained one ring for her. So she is now rank 31" All of them have big round eyes and their mouths open even Feng that for some reason has returned.
"WTF! This is nothing serious, a possibility of spirit fusion and a break through from one realm is nothing for you? We must celebrate! And forget the thing I said before, your a match made in heavens with spirit affinity, but at least wait 2 years" Shout Feng. This time Yan kicking him at the back. Then Yan turns to me and Mayi "Tomorrow is the weekly season so please show us your progress" after saying this Yan and Tianheng finishing their breakfast leave the room.
Having finished the little talk Mayi and I sit for breakfast, again she sitting in my lap and this time I spoil her giving her the food while she happily moves her legs up and down.
After finishing breakfast we went to the city I want to find some cute cloth for Mayi so I take her to the best cloth shops dressing her like a doll (Ahh, I'm healed is like still being with Rongrong). Finally Mayi decided to dress with a black low skirt with rose patters and a brown top because the dresses obstructed her movements. We spent all the day walking around the city specially buying and eating all kind of foods. Finally, we return to the academy and with a very pushy Mayi we sleep in the same bed (It's good to have a little sister).
Next day after breakfast all team Emperor reunited at the training grounds. Entering the grounds with Mayi I find that all the other team members were there, there also a man of seemingly 30 some years old with black hair and simple clothes seeming a very average person except for the bright light in his eyes. The man turn to me and say "So our new admission come. I am Qin Ming and I am the teacher in charge of the Emperor team". "Don't let him deceive you, even with his average looks unlike this handsome master he is one of the youngest spirit emperor only being 36 years old and having broken through 2 years ago." Interrupts Feng causing to Ming to sigh saying "What I always say about interrupting and being so insolent?". Feng bows shouting "That someday will take me to the grave!" Ming nods.
"For today training you will all spar with Mr. Ning here so all of you can adapt at your new teammates styles. Other day we will work on the team synergy. Lingling be prepared to heal any injure" Lingling nod expressionless like always.
"The first match will be Yun Feng vs Ning Bai! The other start running laps across the grounds"
Yun Feng specialized in flying, flying outside the range of the rival and waiting to attack when the rival is not attend to his back, but his attack patterns where so obvious that I easily block all his range attack, being wind cuts or bird attacks and when he tries to close back a quickly dispatch him with a light swing when he tried attack me from behind without any necessity of seeing him.
After him it came Yan. She being a control spirit master with only one spirit skill not mean for support the only thing the she did was use her skill liberating a purple venomous cloud that with a single swing with a little intent I dispersed it and then was incredible simple to close to the surprised Yan.
Then it was the turn of Osler. He was a little better than Feng, even if he couldn't fly his speed is greater and his pattern is more erratic but with activating my 3 skill my speed surpassed his so is was easy to win over him with some strikes.
In the case of the Shi brothers I fight both of them at the same time because teacher Ming think that the best of them is their combination. In this case I charge toward them stopping my strike just as it about to hit their shield and evade their shield to attack to the uncovered areas. After two hit they become mad and use their third skill broking their shield in pieces and attacking me with them like being a tornado (Really a defense system that all their skills are forms of attack, electrifying their shield, throwing it and finally break in, their attack system that uses shields!). I quickly pushed all the part away with scattering protection and attack the now defenseless form of them and with the same swing I knock down both.
"The last match will be Yu Tianheng vs Ning Bai!"
(Finally it's the turn vs the leader, the only true attack system and the strongest one of them specially in 1vs1) Tianheng charges quickly toward me <1st skill: Thunder Dragon Claw> surrounding his arm with electricity creating a claw. (I direct hit trying to overpower me, eh?) I guard my self and with a little intent block his attack. "You can block the attack but your sword is conductive so you will be electrocuted the same!" Tianheng says with a smile like having already won while I look him like an idiot (Really, you didn't even learn that my intent is a protection from everything, if you don't break it it won't pass through. Really an idiot!). Seeing his attack completely blocked he surprised a lot but quickly calms smirking <3rd skill: Thunder Fury> accumulating a lot of lighting around him <2nd skill: Thunder Crash> exploding electricity in all directions. I simple swing downwards
"You're too much straightforward always trying to overpower your enemy with skills but what will you do between skills? Your wasting to much spirit energy. Also why the fuck all your skills has thunder in its name when they produce lighting? Really, you didn't think about it?" I say causing Tianheng to go mad and come forward to me. He dragonifies all his right arm <3rd skill: Thunder Fury> <1st skill: Thunder Dragon Claw> this time creating a even bigger lighting claw. (It seems that I need to humiliate him, I will win in all aspects). <1st skill: Fire Power> increasing my power and clearly reducing the size of his claw I strike surrounding my sword with intent my sword. Sword colliding with claw causing the claw to be totally destroyed and Tianheng to crash to the ground over 10 m away.
He stands up (At least he is a little resilient). This time a charge toward him he tries to block my attack with his dragonified arm. <3rd skill: Lighting Speed> increasing me speed I quickly go to his back and with a light knock at his neck he falls unconscious. "It wasn't too difficult" I say.
I hide my sword and observe my surrounding all of them very surprised seeing my strength fighting with the exception of Mayi that is happily smiling. Recuperating from the shock Lingling comes and heal Tianheng.
Tianheng having being healed wakes up. At that time Mayi jump shouting "I want to fight too!". After that Qin Ming permit Mayi to fight all the others the same way as me. She quickly dispatch all of them overpowering in all attributes and doing their spirit skills pointless now that she has the same realm that them. I observe of the fight analyzing them this time in third person.
Finishing all fighting Qin Ming says "Mayi, Bai you said that you had fusion affinity, can you create a spirit fusion?". I look at Mayi's eyes receiving a nod then turn to Ming and say "Yeah we can do it, but is a little unstable so its duration will be little and the expense of spirit power will be monstrous. At that Ming answer "Don't worry I only want to see it and have a slight understanding of it. So what will be the best conditions of use?"
"To show it highest power the best will be all the other Emperor's members to attack at the same time and then try to defend" I answer.
All the other emperor members positioned in formation, first both Shi brothers, then Tianhen, at the middle Yan, Feng and Osler and at the back it would be Lingling but because is a test she stays away (At least their formation is not so bad). When we are all prepared all of them attack using all their spirit abilities. Toward Mayi and me flyes multitude of attacks, wind cuts, leopard doppelgangers, lighting, poison, pieces of shield... At that moment I take Mayi and kiss her causin from both of us to shine with a brilliant white and brown light. Fusioning her spirit with my Oreo (Without anyone knowing that is my Oreo instead of the sword) A giant phantasmal ant appears, it open its mouth eating all the attacks it becoming more physic and growing a little. Then the other members prepares to defend from an attack using their maximum spirit power. The ant charge toward them so quickly that they can't even react causing all of them to fly out injured. The ant disperse in light particles leaving Mayi and I sitting at the floor exhausted.
"So its defensive-offensive skill absorving the opponent attack turning at the same stronger and then attack them. Now it consume is extreme but with practice will improve" Ming comments thinking. Then turns to me and ask "What do you think are the weak points of the Emperor Team".
I think a little and answer "The main problem I will say it will their dependence in spirit skills not attacking between them, for their team fight I didn't see them fight as a team so I won't comment, for individuality I will say that they're a little wrong.
Feng even is his spirit is specialized in speed he tries to force to much in power even discarding his speed when it will be his strongest point, combining his flying with a great speed will cause a big power {e=m*c^2}. It's like you're afraid of its speed.
Osler in my opinion is the best in his system, he specialized in speed attacks and his patterns of them are difficult to read. But he must try to improve the combination of them the attacks are shorts without continuity.
The Shi brothers, really your a defensive type with a great defense capacity but all your skills are centered in attack and at the minor opportunity you throw your shield to attack, leaving you unprotected and incapable of protecting any teammate.
Yan your a control master but has little control over your abilities. I know that the first ones are support but he third you can't control it only marking its first direction being impossible to move after using it affecting allies and opponents alike, even your allies have the antidote is not good to poison them.
For Lingling, she wasn't at the fight only observing and healing after them. Even with its fantastic healing abilities if she can't protect a little herself it will be difficult to the other to protect you so you should learn to run, the best way to evade attacks waiting for your teammates.
Finally Tianheng, you have one of the strongest spirit beast so you relay too much in its power and you can't keep your mind calm so it will be very easy to guide you to a trap. You must learn a fighting style not only overpowering with the combination of your dragonify and your electricity.
Summarizing, you lack a solid fighting foundation and the best will be that you focus in training control and technique fixing it before it's too late".
Qin Ming nods "You have a lot to think about. Think how you can improve to be better. We finish this training lesson we will see next week".
I take Mayi's hand and we leave leaving the other member injured while Lingling is healing them.
