In the VIP lounge of the Soto Great Spirit Arena, the Royal Fight Team members were relaxing. The spacious room, spanning over two hundred square meters, held only seven individuals.
The door swung open, and Qin Ming entered, his expression unusually serious.
"Listen up," he said, "This time, you're facing a formidable opponent. I just got some basic information about them from the City Lord, which was confirmed by the Great Spirit Arena. Take a look."
He placed a cloth on the crystal table. The fabric contained information about all eight members of the Shrek team. As the Royal Fight Team members read the details, their expressions became bewildered.
"Is the Spirit Ring configuration wrong?" one of them asked. "Why does this 'Sunny Happy Big Boy' have a purple, purple, purple Spirit Ring configuration? And why do the others, like the 'Hell Civet' and 'Soft Bones Demon Rabbit,' have yellow and purple for their first two Spirit Rings? How is this even possible?"
"Teacher, are you sure this intelligence is correct?" another asked.
Qin Ming nodded firmly. "All the intelligence is accurate. I want you to be especially careful of that 'Sunny Happy Big Boy.' Everyone else's Spirit Abilities are very clear, but his are a mystery. He's used his abilities countless times, yet to this day, no one knows what his three Spirit Abilities actually do."
Dugu Yan's eyes widened. "There's such a thing? He's used them so many times, and nobody knows what they do?"
It wasn't that the intelligence gatherers were useless; it was simply that the 'Sunny Happy Big Boy's' Spirit Abilities were too bizarre. Qin Ming reiterated the importance of safety one last time before allowing them to prepare to enter the arena.
The main arena at the heart of the Soto Great Spirit Arena wasn't particularly large, but its high-quality construction gave it a very expensive feel. After a brief introduction by the host, Doudou, the massive doors on both sides of the stage opened simultaneously. The two teams walked in at the same time, heading toward the center. The Royal Fight Team stood on the left, and the Shrek team on the right.
The captains of both sides should have made eye contact as a sign of mutual respect, but Ye Yin's gaze was fixed entirely on Dugu Yan.
"Both sides release your Spirits!" the host's voice boomed. "The match will begin in one minute!"
The Shi Brothers of the Royal Fight Team were the first to act. They shed their upper garments, revealing rock-solid, muscular bodies. As they released their Spirits, their shoulders moved forward and their backs hunched. Earthy-yellow Spirit Power condensed on their backs, forming a giant, dark yellow turtle shell.
A dazzling blue light ignited on Yu Tianheng's forehead, spreading instantly throughout his body. Streaks of blue-purple electricity, like small snakes, erupted and writhed around him. His right arm swelled, tearing his sleeve to shreds, and became covered in blue-purple scales. His hand transformed into a claw, crackling with electricity.
Dugu Yan's legs fused, turning into a thick snake tail that supported her body, which swayed back and forth.
Yu Feng's arms turned into wings, and he flapped them, soaring into the air to look down at his opponents.
The one minute passed quickly. Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda began to spin rapidly, and fourteen rays of light shot out, landing on her seven teammates and boosting their attributes. Tang San's first Spirit Ability, Rapid Growth, activated, and dense Blue Silver Grass spread outward. As long as the opponent entered this range, he could instantly cast Blue Silver Entanglement at any moment.
Dai Mubai stood at the front, patiently waiting for the Blue Silver Grass to cover a larger area, as it would give them a bigger advantage.
Finally, the Royal Fight Team couldn't hold back any longer. The Shi Brothers, who had been at the front, moved to the sides, clearing the way for Yu Tianheng, who charged forward. Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai collided instantly.
Ye Yin's first Spirit Ring flashed, activating his first Spirit Ability, Curse. A black light landed on Yu Tianheng's body. The curse caused weakness at Level 3, which would last for twenty minutes. Yu Tianheng immediately felt his attack power, strength, and speed decrease.
"This is the Sunny Happy Big Boy's first Spirit Ability!" Yu Tianheng reported to his teammates. "Its effect is to reduce attack power, strength, and speed!"
So much for not knowing what the Sunny Happy Big Boy's Spirit Ability did. It seemed quite clear now.
Yu Tianheng's Spirit Power was higher than Dai Mubai's, but after Ye Yin's curse and Ning Rongrong's boost, Dai Mubai's combat power was now slightly superior to his opponent's.
Yu Feng and Ao Siluo of the Royal Fight Team launched attacks from both sides at the same time. Ao Siluo targeted Zhu Zhuqing, as both were agility-attack type Spirit Masters. Yu Feng, flying high in the air, didn't have to worry about the control effects of the Blue Silver Grass on the ground.
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and shot a Phoenix Fire Wire toward Yu Feng. Among the Shrek team, only he and Dai Mubai had the ability to fight in the air, but Dai Mubai was currently tied up with Yu Tianheng. However, ground-to-air attacks are always at a disadvantage, and the Phoenix Fire Wire was difficult to land.
"Flying is the highest form of freedom!" Yu Feng gloated, looking down at the Shrek members. "None of you can do it, can you?"
Oscar, standing beside Zhao Wuji, wished he could rush up and help. He could fly!
Ye Yin's third Spirit Ring flashed, and he used his third Spirit Ability, Organ Curse. A black light struck Yu Feng's body. The curse targeted his right arm, causing it to stiffen at Level 5 for two hours.
What a coincidence, Ye Yin thought to himself. His luck seemed to be very good.
Yu Feng relied on his arms to fly. His right arm suddenly became stiff, so for every few times his left arm flapped, his right arm could only flap once. He instantly flew uncontrollably to the right.
"What's going on?" Yu Feng yelled. "Why is my arm so stiff?"
[Resentment from Yu Feng +30!]
"The Sunny Happy Big Boy's third Spirit Ability makes people's arms stiff!" he shouted.
Ma Hongjun chuckled. "Little fat bird, how are you going to dodge this time?"
He shot a Phoenix Fire Wire, which went straight for Yu Feng.
"Wind and Clouds Surge!" Yu Feng was out of options. If the Phoenix Fire Wire hit him, his combat power would be severely reduced. His third, purple Spirit Ring glowed brightly as he activated his offensive Spirit Ability.
Ye Yin's second Spirit Ring flashed, and a black light struck Yu Feng. The second Spirit Ability, Soul Skill Curse, landed on Wind and Clouds Surge. The effect was an increase in power by a hundredfold, but with a side effect: all of the Spirit Ability's power would be converted into special effects.
