Chapter 49 - Shrek Academy part 17

"This is no good. Change it. It's not stylish anywhere. Iron Fist is too unpleasant to hear especially on brother JoyBoy."

Xiao Wu rushed to say. Ning Rongrong and surprisingly the cold faced Zhu Zhuqing also nodded their head in agreement with Xiao Wu. They thought that the name didn't agree with JoyBoy who always had a gentle smile on his face and was polite to everyone.

Grandmaster looked at JoyBoy, seeing he didn't express any opinion but only observing with his usual smile, on his face couldn't help but reveal a smile. Regarding this disciple of his, Grandmaster was always extremely pleased,

"Then you say it, just what name would be good?"

Dai Mubai said

"Although little JoyBoy ordinarily seems gentle, he can really flip out, capable of defeating anyone with a single punch. I say, calling him One Punch Man is good. It could also have a certain intimidating effect on the opponent."

Grandmaster said to JoyBoy

"What do you think?"

JoyBoy said

"It doesn't matter to me, you decide Teacher."

Grandmaster said

"Then we'll call you One Punch Man."

After that, everyone went to their own room and started preparing for the upcoming fights in the arena. In order to maintain peak condition, everyone remained in the inn to cultivate their spirit power, waiting for nightfall. JoyBoy calmly cultivated in his room while he thought about their current level and the point system.

Right now the eight were all on the iron spirit fight level. Going from iron spirit fights to copper spirit fights required one hundred points, advancing to silver spirit fights were one thousand points. 

Each obtained victory will give one point. But, if losing a fight, they will also correspondingly lose one point. If continuous number of victories exceed five, then, for each successive victory, the points directly increase by ten, when successive victories exceed ten, winning again gives a hundred points.

Even if points reaches successful advancement to copper spirit fights, as long as points drop below one hundred, this will also cancel copper spirit fight qualifications.

Fighting in copper spirit fights. Every one victory will gain ten points. Losing one fight will also deduct ten points. Points obtained in successive victories scale like with iron spirit fights.

At nightfall, Shrek Academy's eight students as well as two deans and Grandmaster arrived at Suotuo Great Spirit Arena. This time they arrived at Spirit Arena Thirteen.

According to their original plan, everyone would one after another use their iron spirit badges to sign up. Under Grandmaster's directions, the six people simultaneously participating in one versus one and two versus two fights signed up in two areas and at the same time explained they must participate in two bouts.

The staff arranged for them to fight at certain times, so as not to have two fights overlap. At the same time, everyone separately altered the names on the iron spirit badges, from their true names to nicknames, using the names they agreed on in the day.

Just altering a name cost each of them ten gold spirit coins, however because this time they didn't need to enroll again, the expense was only so much. As long as they managed one spirit fight victory, they could earn back the expense.

JoyBoy registered under his code name and got a new iron spirit badge after paying ten gold coins and registered for one versus one fight and paid another ten gold coins.

He wasn't worried about the twenty gold coins he had just paid because he still had a lot of savings left from his time in Nuoding academy and he would be able to earn them back after winning two spirit fights.

Tang San and Xiao Wu chose to first participate in two versus two, after that again joining one versus one, naturally separating from the other six. Oscar and Ning Rongrong had to wait for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to finish their one versus one bouts, therefore they also first went to one area.

Flender and Zhao Wuji followed the largest party to enter the one versus one spirit fighting area. Grandmaster followed Tang San and Xiao Wu to the two versus two spirit fighting area.

Today was a lucky day for Shrek students because in all the one versus one and two versus two spirit fights, everyone obtained victory. Six one versus one bouts, and three two versus two bouts ended in complete victory, for the opening of the Shrek student's spirit fight journey it was a perfect start. 

Grandmaster, Flender and Zhao Wuji looking at the eight disciples before them couldn't help but nod inwardly. When they looked at JoyBoy, they had a wierd expression on their face. They clearly remembered what happened during his fight. Grandmaster said

"We should go join the team battles, as a result of signing up for late bouts you should be competing close to last. Remember, what you will confront is a team over thirtieth rank.

Team battles are different from one versus one and two versus two, the teamwork between each other is far more important than individual fighting strength.

Since the counterpart fights as a team, they will not lack any type of Spirit Master. As for tactics, it depends on how they are arranged."

JoyBoy silently observed with a smile while they were discussing their strategy for the team battle. Dai Mubai said

"Grandmaster, don't say you're still not happy with our teamwork? Little San, you are a control system Spirit Master, when we're fighting later you take command, all of us will listen to you."

Tang San didn't object, as the soul of the team, this was his duty.

"Well, later Mubai, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, you three are our main assault, Mubai in the middle, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing supporting on the side. I'll be in the middle to as far as possible restrain the opponents and support your attack.

Fatty. You stay in the rear, use your Phoenix Fire Wave to perform ranged attacks and protect Oscar and Rongrong. Oscar, begin preparing now, get everyone one of each of your three sausages, any problems?"

Oscar said

"No problem, my spirit power is still sufficient."

Tang San last turned to Ning Rongrong

"Pay attention to your safety. You and Oscar mustn't be far from Fatty's side. If the opponents launch an attack towards you there's no need to be nervous. Me and Fatty will work together to protect you."

Ning Rongrong giggled

"What nervous? It doesn't seem like I can even feel that."

Dai Mubai said

"Good. Let's go."

After the discussion, they went to the contestant's lobby and waited for their turn for the team battle. JoyBoy together with Grandmaster, Flender and Zhao Wuji sat in the stands, together with numerous spectators. JoyBoy observed the stage.

The team Spirit Fighting Stage was much larger than stages for one versus one and two versus two, its diameter reaching forty meters. The surrounding audience was also twice as large, and by now the stands were already packed. On the Spirit Fighting Stage were some bloodstains, clearly left behind from the previous team spirit fight.

When the two teams walked into the stage, the audience was excited. The two Team's appearance at once ignited the audience's craze, strong cheers resounded from everywhere.

"Tear them to shreds..., Kill them..."

Soon the anouncer gave the introduction for the two teams and then separately asked both sides if they were ready. As team captains, Dai Mubai and the other side's Mad Xi simultaneously indicated their preparations were complete.

"Starting countdown from five. Five, four, three, two, one. Team spirit battles, fourth bout. Begin!"
