We follow Qin Ming to a luxurious carriage and after 2 hours we finally arrived at our destination, the Great Spirit Arena of Imperial City. Before registering Qin Ming says "If any of you wants to participate in individual or 2vs2 battles you can do it, but we will focus in the team battle 7vs7 we will start with Mayi and Tianheng at the front followed by Yan to control. Then will go Osler and Feng attacking with speed to the sides and finally Lingling and Bai as supports, I want you Bai to only concentrate in debuff don't attack or defend if not completely obligatory. For the other battle the formation will be changing. Our first battle will be tomorrow at 7 pm so be ready for it" he finish say and leave us there.
I turn to Mayi "Mayi want to form a team together and have a little warm-up". Mayi nods "Yes!". We leave the other teammates going to register for battling today.
At the register there is a beautiful women with a cold aura, seeing us smiles a little saying "How can I help you?". "We want to register as a team of 2 people and if possible have a battle today" I say.
"First time?" She asks both of us nodding. She then give us some paper "Please fill the form with your age, spirit and rank, also the name you want for yourself and your team". We fill it naming me 9 Debuff Colors, Mayi Fifteen Ton Ant and the team Brilliant Ant and give to her. She surprise a lot reading our age and rank but quickly calm down and gives us a iron badge "Your form has successfully been completed here are your iron badges, taking in consideration your victories and how you perform your rank will increase being iron 'The newbies', bronze 'The weak', silver 'The professionals', gold 'The strong' and platinum 'The legendary'. Your first battle is decided will be in 2 hours vs the Ground Sky Combination team" She bows to us "I pray for your good luck".
After 2 hours we enter the arena, there's not a lot of people (How it could be expected with iron newbies fighting). The rival team is composed by two 40 some years men, one of them being very fat rank 37 with and Armored Cow spirit, the other being very thin also rank 37 with Wind Sparrow as spirit. Their tactic based in the cow to defend and distract the rival while the sparrow wait to find some weakness and eliminate them.
The referee, being a man with a flying spirit, shout "Activate your spirits!". They show their spirits both of them with 3 ring, white, yellow and purple, then the sparrow start to flight positioning over the cow. In our case Mayi is in front of me and we didn't even take out our spirits. After 10 second the referee impatient for us not using our spirit shout "Start!". The opponents grin and both charge to Mayi to beat her down before she can even use her spirit. Just as both are about to hit her a brown armor surrounds her with 3 ring, yellow, purple and purple. They strike her, the cow at front and the sparrow at rear not causing any damage to Mayi's armour. "Weak" Mayi yawns then punch both of them with different arms both of them shooting out in opposite direction and crashing to the wall outside the arena, in my case needing to dodge the sparrow.
The referee and spectators are so surprised that didn't even make any noise. After 10 second the referee recuperate and announces "Winner the Brilliant Ant team!" waking up the audience who start to clap for us.
Leaving the arena Mayi says to me "Bai, it seems that there's not gonna be any good rival so best stop wasting our time beating weakling" then blush a little and says "Let's go tomorrow both of us to a date to see the city". I nod her without any thinking provoking her to pout a little.
The next day we walk around the city visiting its most touristic and beautiful places and eating food of stands. Then at afternoon we reunited with the other of the team at a VIP room at the Arena.
In the room Qin Ming seeing all of us there say "The formation will be the same I said yesterday, your opponents are the Charging team, all 7 having a non-elemental beast spirit and being all power attack system. They usually only charge toward the enemy with all their force activate all their skill at the start if you can stop their first assault is as good as a win. I expect a quickly win, show your power!" We nod and enter the arena.
At the arena we make our formation. The rival have a arrow formation, one at a center with 3 in every side. The referee in this case is a young woman with an eagle like wings, she shout "Today match we have the Emperor team" she signal us "Don't let be deceived by their youthful looks and being their first time in the arena, they all have strong spirit and high rank. Versus the Charging team" She turn to the opponents "with 10 victories and 7 loses known for their famous combined assault. Activate your spirits!".
The opponents activate their spirit all of them being simple beast spirits and 3 ring, white, yellow and purple, except the one at the middle having a Bull spirit with ideal ring configuration. We activated all our spirits showing all of us ideal configuration with Mayi her yellow, purple and purple, causing the rival team to be very nervous. Seeing all us ready the referee shouts "Start!.
All the rivals activate their spirit skills illuminating all their rings and they charge all toward us. I aim up my sword illuminating the rivals <1st skill: Fire Power> <3rd skill: Lighting speed> reducing the speed and power of the 5 front chargers leaving only normal the two at the side. Yan points toward them <3rd skill: Jade Phosphor Violet Poison> creating a cloud of poison toward the enemies. The enemies staying to much at the cloud due their low speed fall down except their leader that arrives near Tianheng. Tianheng punch toward him <1st skill:Thunder Dragon Claw> stopping his charges and throwing him outside the arena area. With the leader knocked out and all the other member unconscious by poison they can't battle anymore, all of it in 3 seconds.
The referee shout "And the winner is the Emperor team. Easily stopping the enemy charges and finish the combat in a surprisingly 3 seconds, creating a new record of this Silvers Great Arena. Congratulation!" causing for the audience, being a lot of more people than the previos one, to shout and clap celebrating our victory.
Leaving the arena Mayi cutely pouts "Buaaa, Mayi couldn't even move. Soooooo weak!". I smile at her saying "Don't expect too much of so low level opponents".
After the next 4 combats being similar low level I requested to Qin Ming for Mayi and me to not participate in any more, that it was no good for any of us, and even advicing that for the other members is was only to inflate their ego. Qin Ming accepted.
After months of the same kind of winnings the Arena gave to the Emperor team the Silver badge, being recognized as professionals. After gaining the Silver badge Qin Ming decided to move to Suotuo City saying that he know it will be more interesting. (if he says it, surely there will be something worth there). So after that all the team went to Suotuo City.
