One versus one and two versus two bouts didn't have this countdown. For the sake of letting both sides' Spirit Masters have time to release their spirits, like this, in the fight, it could prevent effects of someone releasing their spirit slowly. Of course, to the Great Spirit Arena, it was in order to let the spirit fight become more dramatic and attract the audience.
At the same time, both sides simultaneously released their spirits. In a moment, Beast Spirit Masters' bodies changed, Tool Spirit Masters summoned their spirits, the whole Spirit Fighting Stage immediately becoming incomparably dazzling.
JoyBoy finally understood why the audience liked watching team spirit fights. This starting moment alone already couldn't be compared to the two other kinds of spirit fights. Watching fourteen Spirit Masters simultaneously releasing their spirits, dazzlingly beautiful spirit rings shining simultaneously, he thought that it was such a great scene.
The originally noisy crowd now became silent, the impact of seeing four purple spirit rings was absolutely not small. To say nothing of the Shrek Seven Devils' side not having even one white spirit ring, this was sufficient testimony of their backgrounds.
The anouncer was equally startled by the Shrek Seven Devils' spirit rings, but he still recovered to normal very quickly, and along with declaring the start retreated swiftly, his speed incredibly high, clearly he was a Spirit Master with not inconsiderable strength.
The battle went exactly as JoyBoy remembered from the novel. Still, he had to admit that he really enjoyed watching the team battle. The final moment of the battle, when Tang San absorbed the opposite team's control system Spirit Master's spider silk using his external spirit bones, he thought that it was a real nail biter moment.
"Shrek Seven Devils' victory."
After the anouncer announced their victory
The seven people, still wearing their masks, registered their points under the loud cheering, retrieved their rewards and left Suotuo Great Spirit Battle Arena.
The seven did not linger, quickly moving away from the crowd. Regrouping with JoyBoy, Grandmaster, Flender, and Zhao Wuji, they quickly left the area of the Great Spirit Battle Arena. JoyBoy had already registered his points after his fight and removed his mask.
When no one was paying attention to them anymore, the seven finally took off their masks. Looking at each other, they couldn't help but start laughing.
In usual training they always fought together, but they never knew how it felt to fight real people on a platform like the Great Spirit Battle Arena.
The people who felt it the most were Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu who were pulled back by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. At that moment the power of teamwork avoided injuries.
Their understanding of the importance of teamwork that Grandmaster spoke of instantly grew deeper. Back at the hotel, Grandmaster once again told everyone to come to Tang San's room, including Flender and Zhao Wuji. Looking at their tired, but high-spirited students, he calmly asked
"Tell me, what are your impressions of today's fights?"
After hearing some of their response he stopped them and praised their efforts. Then he turned towards JoyBoy and with a wierd expression, he told him that he also did a good job and with a twitching mouth adviced him to be a little careful with his opponents, while Flender, Zhao Wuji, Oscar and Ning Rongrong were on the side trying to hold back their smile. Other students noticed their actions.
JoyBoy with his gentle smile politely nodded to Grandmaster. Grandmaster smiled
"Tomorrow I allow you to stop fighting at the Spirit Battle Arena for one day. But, other than resting, you have to reflect on today's gains and losses.
The day after tomorrow, you each have to tell me what you learned. Ok, I need to go now. Remember, when we aren't here, don't cause trouble, especially not with any Spirit Master. It is very likely you will meet a Spirit Master that belongs to a giant family."
Flender said
"Grandmaster is correct, don't cause any trouble. However, if bullies you, don't lose face for our academy either."
Because all the teachers left, Shrek's Seven Monsters naturally lost their restrictions. Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu asked Oscar and Ning Rongrong about why they were smiling when Grandmaster was advising JoyBoy because the advice was perfectly normal.
Hearing their questions, Oscar and Ning Rongrong first looked at JoyBoy, then each other and both started giggling. Ning Rongrong then explained what happened during JoyBoy's fight as she and Oscar had also watched his fight.
"When eighth brother JoyBoy went to fight in one vs one battle, his opponent was a beautiful female with a sparrow type martial soul. After the anouncer announced the start of their battle, the female tried to flirt with him acting like a big sister and asked while making an innocent face
"One Punch Man sounds dangerous. Little brother, will you raise your hand against elder sister ?"
He politely replied that he won't. Hearing his response, her expression suddenly changed from an innocent look to a twisted smile. She said
"Too bad, because I will."
She suddenly activated her martial spirit and used her spirit rings to instantly disappear and reappear behind him to attack, her face still having that twisted smile.
But, the moment she was about to touch him, his leg suddenly appeared before her face and he kicked her out of the stage while saying
"I won't raise my hand against you because you are not worthy."
That was hilarious. Everyone in the audience was laughing."
Saying this, she and Oscar started laughing while others were also smiling. Ma Hongjun gave him a thumbs up saying that was too cool.
JoyBoy had his gentle smile on his face the entire time. Soon he excused himself and went back to his room to cultivate while others went out to eat under Dai Mubai's expenses.
After returning to his room, he cleaned himself up and then he sat down on his bed and absorbed the spirit energy from his single clone he had summoned before leaving his room. After that he summoned his martial spirit and started cultivating.
The spirit battles continued. Within the next month, JoyBoy and Shrek Seven Devils' battles in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena's fields could even be described as successful.
In that month, the Shrek Seven Devils participated in twenty seven team fights. Twenty seven battles and twenty seven victories. Within the thirtieth ranked range, they had no competition.
In the two vs two battles, Three Five Combination also attained a good record of twenty seven successive victories.. Tang San and Xiao Wu compatibility and teamwork was so strong that they left their opponents helpless.
Dai mubai and Oscar's Dual Winged White Tiger combination attained a total of sixteen wins and eleven losses in twenty seven fights. This was mainly because Mubai was fighting alone. Oscar's sausages, in the end, in a spirit fight type of battle arena, could only do so much after all.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's Seven Treasure Civet combination scored a little better than the Dual Winged White Tiger group, after all they participated in the twentieth ranked Spirit Grandmaster level two versus two spirit fights. They obtained a good record of twenty two wins and five losses in twenty seven fights. Of which eight were consecutive victories, earning them quite a bit of points.
For the individual competitions, Shrek Seven Devils were even more astounding. Dai Mubai in the thirtieth ranked range, besides meeting with control Spirit Masters twice and losing, won 25 rounds.
Tang San's luck was superb, and he never met a fire type opponent, with his inferior thirty two ranks, in the thirtieth ranked Spirit Elder grade he unexpectedly maintained complete victory. After all, against his Spider Web Restraint, without a way to conquer it, for those in his level range, it is very hard to escape.
Xiao Wu was worse by a little bit. Although her teleportation was very extraordinary, several times she encountered opponents who just happened to restrain her ability, but still had twenty victories.
Ma Hongjun, in the twentieth ranked range was very successful and won twenty three battles of the twenty seven.
Zhu Zhuqing's individual competition record wasn't inferior, winning only one less battle than Ma Hongjun.
JoyBoy didn't took a day off and fought in twenty eight battles and had twenty eight consecutive victories. During this time, he never had to use more than one move against his opponents for winning, staying true to his code name 'One Punch Man'.
