When night came Mayi and I went to the main Arena to watch the fight.
After some brief explanation of the referee the match started. The White Tiger charging only to be stopped by the Shi brothers being pushed to the air by the recoil. Tianheng taking advantage of the opponent inability to move in air attacked toward him falling into a trap.
The White Tiger was pulled by a vine away from danger, while Tianheng failing his attack was surrounded by all the enemies, receiving all kind of attacks causing him to waste a lot of spirit energy and they even broken his arm until the Shi brothers could protect Tianheng taking him to Lingling to heal. After sometime Tianheng recuperate a little but unable to exert his maximum strength due to its low spirit energy.
Even though Yan quickly used her 3rd ability, it was fast nullified by Thousand Hand Asura throwing alcohol.
At that moment the battle divided, the not completely recovered Tianheng barely keeping vs the White Tiger, Osler suppressing the Hell Civet with his higher speed and spirit power, the Shi brothers against the Three Five Combination and Chenxiang fighting the Evil Fire Phoenix, this one protecting and being supported by the Sausage Monopoly while Ronrong supported all her team members. In spite of Yan creating a weak mist causing dizziness, it was being countered by one type of Sausage. For Lingling she was prepared for heal anyone that needed.
They continued fighting, gradually the Emperor team was pushing the other team thanks to their higher spirit power. The Shi brothers used their 3rd ring skill injuring and taking out of the fight the Soft Bone Demon Rabbit who was unable to evade so much shield pieces.
This elimination caused the other Shrek Seven Devils to react, the White Tiger and the Hell Civet activated their spirit fusion. Creating a big white tiger that with a howl pushed Tianheng and Osler, vomiting blood being both unable to fight more. Finishing their spirit fusion the Tiger and the Civet where too exhausted to continue in the match.
For Chenxiang, she started playing with the Evil Fire Phoenix throwing spirit skills, but unable to break through his evil fire even when using her 3rd skill because the natural suppression of the phoenix to bird type spirits and the support of the 3rd skill of Rongrong which seems to improve the spirit power.
When Chenxiang was about to attack physically, surrounding herself with wind increasing her speed some blue sphere shot toward her. She twisted her body rapidly spinning creating a mini tornado that cut the blue sphere that expanded to form a web.
That blue sphere was shot by a completely angry Thousand Hand Asura. Now with his external spirit bone of eight spider leg activated. After throwing the blue sphere he was attacked by the four shields of the Shi brothers. But he used Tianheng's body as a shield who was previously entangled by Asura's 2nd skill. This caused the Shi brothers to hurriedly stop their attack creating a backslash from them.
Thousand Hand Asura took advantage of the Shi brothers debilitation and lost of shields and shot toward them impulsing with his external spirit bone. Piercing toward both brother badly poisoning them. Then he jump again using his spider legs toward Yan lifting her, poisoning her.
For Chenxiang after cutting the blue sphere, she charges towards the Evil Phoenix Fire with a twirl using wind evading his evil fire and with overwhelming speed arriving at his back, kicking him pushing him outside of the ring. Then she invoked two sharp feather and pointed at the neck of Rongrong and the Sausage Monopoly.
Both Thousand Hands Asura and Chenxiang look both at the other eyes showing some glint. After 1 second Chenxiang lightly pushed outside the ring the two supports while Thousand Hands Asura threw Yan and both charged toward the other.
Chenxiang activated both his 3rd and 2nd abilities shooting a bird form attack followed by sharp feathers without stopping her charge. Asura dashed to the left impulsed by his spider leg evading the bird attack and turning his hand blue like ice deflected the feathers that came toward him.
Surrounded completely by wind arriving at her maximum speed, Chenxiang struck towards Asura. Asura with all his spider legs and strength diverted Chenxiang's attack rebounding her toward the air.
After 5 meter Chenxiang finally could recuperate and balance herself hovering in the air. She looked around, seeing the state of the Shi brother and Yan caused by the poison. She sighed, lifted her hands in surrender and said "I concede, we lose" she signal the brother and Yan shouting "Quickly treat them!".
Asura completely calm turned to Lingling, pulled her towards him with a vine and said "Treat my friend" (I see Lingling blushing? Nah! It must me my imagination, the always expressionless Lingling's face never change). Leaving her near his teammates he turned toward the poisoned members and piercing with his spider legs extracted the poison.
Seeing the ending of the match Mayi and I stand up of out seats and went to the ring side of the Emperor team while listening the referee proclaiming Shrek Seven Devil as the victor and all the applause of the audience.
Arriving outside the ring I nodded to Qin Ming who was waiting there and we wait together to the other members to come. I could listen to Tianheng saying that they didn't completely lose and that next time they will win. For Yan something about her poison winning against Asura's. Chenxiang was talking to the Evil Fire Phoenix saying that she look forward for his growth. Lingling seemed to want to say something but finally said nothing.
The emperor member left coming toward us. Tianheng bowed toward Qin Ming "Sorry teacher, we lose. It's completely my fault!".
Osler interrupted saying "No, this can't be blamed all in you, how can we know that Shrek would be so treacherous?".
Yan looked towards me and Mayi saying "It's your fault for not participating. With your help we surely would easily overpowered all of them".
I grinned at her "So are you saying that without me you are useless?" causing Yan to lower her head.
Qin Ming stopped us "It's me that decided for them to not participate" He smiles "In reality, I am happy for your defeat. Your past experience were to smooth. This time was the first time that you had some setback and it didn't cause you any permanent damage so next time you won't underestimate any enemy and can strive in the future. If not for this lose maybe this lesson will be learned in the future with your life as its price. The important is having the possibility to learn from defeat. Growth in defeat!" causing all the members to be thoughtful of his words.
"You can return to rest. Recover as quickly as possible. I still have some matters to attend" said Qin Ming leaving them there.
I and Mayi follow Qin Ming and I said "Can we follow you? I also want to meet someone" Qin Ming nod at me and we went to a VIP lounge that wasn't the same of our team.
Entering I can see inside all Seven Shrek Devils and their professors.
