Xu Xiaoyan looked up, her eyes reflecting the myriad stars, as if the entire starry sky had fallen into her gaze.
She couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Wow... the starry sky here is truly beautiful!"
Gu Yue looked over at the sound, only to see the stars shining brightly, as if within reach.
She nodded slightly, a hint of awe flashing in her eyes as well: "It is indeed beautiful."
Fang Yang surveyed his surroundings, feeling the energy flowing in the air. "The structure of this Star Gazing Platform is quite ingenious."
"Not only can it gather Star Power, but it can also simulate the starry sky environment to a certain extent. As a Cultivation ground, it is truly rare."
"Indeed," Tang Wulin also nodded in agreement.
Everyone was momentarily immersed in this starry sky.
Just then, another group of people appeared not far from the Star Gazing Platform.
They were dressed in the black uniforms of the Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy, with star-shaped embroideries on their chests, which was the academy's emblem.
There were seven people in total: five young men and two young women, aged between twenty and thirty.
Their gazes held a mix of curiosity and scrutiny as they all looked towards Fang Yang and his group.
After all, not all Spirit Master Academies were like Shrek Academy, only recruiting top Geniuses. Such student ages and cultivation levels were normal among the many academies on the continent.
The two sides briefly introduced themselves. Fang Yang's gaze calmly swept over the seven opponents, his expression unwavering.
"Alright, the teacher responsible for controlling the Star Gazing Platform is also in position. The protective barrier of the Star Gazing Platform will be activated shortly."
Li Zhilong said with a smile, his tone gentle, "Remember, this is a sparring exchange, stop before causing serious harm."
Immediately, the two teams ascended the spacious arena in the center of the Star Gazing Platform from opposite sides.
"Get ready!"
Li Zhilong personally acted as the referee for this match, announcing loudly.
"Buzz!"
A low hum suddenly sounded, and the complex Spirit tool array patterns encircling the edge of the Star Gazing Platform lit up one by one, emitting magnificent halos, as if instantly coming alive.
Streaks of halos shot into the sky, and thousands of light rays intertwined in the air, converging at a single point.
Finally, they transformed into an incredibly thick, brilliant pillar of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the Void Realm, a spectacular sight.
Bathed in the rich starlight, a faint golden halo appeared around the seven members of the opposing Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy, and their collective Aura visibly increased.
Fighting in this starry sky environment, which they were extremely familiar with, gave them a significant home-field advantage.
However, a strange phenomenon also occurred on Fang Yang's side.
Around Xu Xiaoyan, an exceptionally brilliant golden starlight spontaneously gathered.
The light was even purer than that on the students of Tianding Academy.
"Student Xu, how do you feel right now? Is there any problem?" Li Zhilong asked quickly when he saw this.
This girl's starlight affinity was simply Heaven-Defying!
"No problem!"
Xu Xiaoyan recovered from the wonderful sensation and shook her head.
Her voice carried an undisguised excitement, "It just feels... very comfortable, full of power!"
Xu Xiaoyan not only completely adapted to this environment but also gained a great boost from it.
"In that case, let's begin!"
Li Zhilong suppressed the shock in his heart and announced loudly: "The match begins!"
As his voice fell, on the Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy's side, seven Spirit Masters almost simultaneously activated their spirit power.
One by one, they released their Spirits, their figures rising into the air under the starlight, gaining an aerial advantage.
Under the enhancement of the Star Gazing Platform, their spirit power fluctuations noticeably strengthened, spirit rings lit up one after another, and their Auras merged into a single, rather astonishing force.
The leading young man had six spirit rings circling his body: two yellow, two purple, and two black.
In his hand, a long spear composed of starlight condensed, pointing remotely at Fang Yang and the others.
On Shrek Academy's side, there was not the slightest hint of panic.
Fang Yang stood in place and spoke faintly, "Gu Yue."
Gu Yue nodded slightly, and elemental fluctuations surged around her like a tide.
She raised her hand, and her clear, cold voice rang out.
"Elemental Deprivation!"
The next moment, the rich starlight halo around the students of the opposing Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy suddenly fluctuated violently.
As if subjected to an invisible suppression, the light dimmed by several shades!
This was precisely Gu Yue's Spirit Ability, Elemental Control.
She directly interfered with and weakened the Star Power that her opponents relied on for their boost!
The expressions of the Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy students changed slightly. They clearly hadn't expected the opponent to have a means to directly weaken their home-field advantage.
"Attack!"
The leading young man, holding the Star Staff, made a decisive move and shouted sternly.
They couldn't wait any longer!
Several attacks condensed from starlight—light arrows, star blades, shockwaves—poured down towards the seven Shrek members.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan moved.
She gently tapped her Star Staff on the ground, and a massive, brilliant Star Wheel instantly spread out from her as its center, covering the entire arena in an instant!
First Spirit Ability: "Star Wheel Chains!"
Third spirit ring: "Brilliant Starlight!"
This time, the Star Wheel Chains, infused with vast Star Power, were far more powerful than usual.
Several incredibly thick chains, completely solidified starlight, appeared.
They wrapped around the bodies of the seven opponents in the air almost instantly!
The Star Power contained within the starlight chains was immeasurably vast.
It not only completely restrained their movements but also permeated their bodies, forcibly interrupting the operation of their Spirit Abilities.
The Spirit light around the seven students of the Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy rapidly dimmed. Like birds with broken wings, they all fell from mid-air, heavily crashing onto the arena.
Although no one was injured, their spirit power was Sealed, and they couldn't move, their faces filled with disbelief, shock, and bewilderment.
The battle seemed to have ended as soon as it began.
The entire Star Gazing Platform was silent.
Li Zhilong's mouth hung open, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
He announced with immense shock, "The... the match is over. Shrek Academy, wins!"
The brilliant starlight around Xu Xiaoyan slowly receded. Her small face was slightly flushed from excitement and a bit of exhaustion, but her eyes were bright as stars.
Fang Yang looked at her. "Xiao Yan, well done."
Gu Yue also cast a look of affirmation.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged smiles; this victory was swift and decisive!
Li Zhilong and the teachers from Tianding Starry Sky Spirit Master Academy quickly stepped forward to check on the students' condition and remove the Seal of the Star Wheel Chains.
Those students stood up, looking at Xu Xiaoyan as if she were a monster, filled with awe.
They couldn't understand why she alone, on their home turf, could unleash such terrifying control.
"Thank you for the match."
Fang Yang nodded slightly towards Li Zhilong and the opposing students.
Li Zhilong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Shrek Academy truly lives up to its reputation."
"This Student Xu's Star Power affinity is truly something I've never seen in my life... Impressive, impressive!"
