"The first to enter from Plant Academy is Mu Yunteng."
"It seems Plant Academy has also heard of Peach Garden Academy's formidable strength displayed in the preliminaries. For the first match, they've sent one of the three Spirit Ancestor contestants from their team."
"Let me see who Peach Garden Academy has sent? Peach Garden Academy's Wang Sheng, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and other contestants have all performed exceptionally well... What? The first contestant from Peach Garden Academy is actually... a support system Spirit Master!"
When Ning Rongrong walked to the center of the arena, all the contestants and academy teachers in the grand stadium, along with Emperor Xue Ye and Salas in the VIP box, were dumbfounded.
"What in the world is Peach Garden Academy doing? This is 1v1, not a team battle. Isn't this sending a support system Spirit Master to get thrashed?"
"Are they giving first blood as a sign of goodwill?"
"Captain, this Peach Garden Academy is too arrogant, aren't they? To actually send a support system Spirit Master first."
Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui, and other girls from Tianshui Academy also said in surprise beside Water Binger.
Water Binger's eyes also showed a hint of confusion. She looked at Su Ran's figure from afar, somewhat unable to understand. Su Teacher could so easily help her break through illusion abilities, so he certainly wasn't foolish. He shouldn't make such a basic mistake, right?
"Perhaps Peach Garden Academy has its own plans. They are all geniuses among geniuses; there must be a reason for choosing this order of appearance," Water Binger said.
"Huo Wu, it seems that although Peach Garden Academy is strong in team battles, they are not confident in their individual combat strength. My guess is that they want the support system Spirit Master to test the strength of Plant Academy's Spirit Ancestor first. After all, Plant Academy didn't qualify from the Heaven Dou City division, so they aren't familiar with each other's strengths."
Feng Xiaotian walked to Blazing Academy's viewing area and leaned close to Huo Wu, saying.
Huo Wu gave Feng Xiaotian an annoyed look: "Your Divine Wind Academy lost to Peach Garden Academy, and you still have the nerve to say others aren't confident."
Feng Xiaotian rubbed his head, chuckled, and remained confident in his own strength:
"Huo Wu, I'm not boasting, their team battle strength is indeed strong, but that's because their team coordination and overall synergy are stronger than ours. If it were a one-on-one, I wouldn't be afraid of them. Don't forget, during the team battle, they had to use two or three teammates to restrain me to barely defeat me."
"I don't care if you can beat them or not, but I must win the promotion match!"
Huo Wu's fervent gaze turned towards Peach Garden Academy's students. In the preliminaries, Blazing Academy suffered a terrible loss against Peach Garden Academy, which was a trampling of her pride and dignity!
...
On the arena.
Both sides reported their names and Spirits:
"Mu Yunteng, Spirit Green Vine, forty-first level control system Spirit Ancestor!"
"Ning Rongrong, Spirit Nine Treasure Golden Body Glazed Tile Pagoda, forty-fifth level support system battle Spirit Ancestor!"
Mu Yunteng of Plant Academy was stunned when she heard Ning Rongrong's self-introduction.
I want to ask, what do the six words 'support system battle Spirit Ancestor' mean?
A support system Spirit Master is just a support system Spirit Master, where does 'battle Spirit Ancestor' come from?
Did she mispronounce it?
Mu Yunteng was slender, with a delicate face and a natural, agile aura like an Green Vine. Her Spirit, Green Vine, grew from her palm. She looked calmly at Ning Rongrong and said:
"You are a support system Spirit Master, you should just step down. Perhaps your teachers made a tactical mistake. A support system Spirit Master has no chance in a 1v1. Even if you fight, you won't consume much of my spirit power. Otherwise, it won't look good if I just use my Green Vine to bind you and throw you off."
"Seriously, didn't you hear what I said? I am a support system battle Spirit Ancestor, a battle Spirit Ancestor!"
Ning Rongrong's small face showed some displeasure. She was truly fed up with being mocked for support system Spirit Masters having no combat power.
Who said support system Spirit Masters are useless in one-on-one combat?
Today, she would rectify the name of support system Spirit Masters!
"A true support system battle Spirit Ancestor? Not mistaken?"
Mu Yunteng was stunned.
"Go ahead."
"Spirit, Nine Treasure Golden Body Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
A nine-story golden glazed tile pagoda, five meters tall, appeared behind Ning Rongrong. Everyone had already known that Ning Rongrong's Glazed Tile Pagoda was different from other Glazed Tile Pagodas.
However, regarding Ning Rongrong's defensive capabilities, besides those from Peach Garden Academy, only a few close acquaintances like Ning Fengzhi knew.
Mu Yunteng's face showed some helplessness:
"Alright, if you say you're a battle Spirit Ancestor, then so be it. I can only throw you out of the arena."
Several green vines grew from Mu Yunteng's feet, quickly coiling around Ning Rongrong like agile snakes.
Ning Rongrong showed no panic whatsoever. She couldn't help but recall the scenes of her teacher teaching her martial arts. A surge of confidence immediately welled up in her heart:
"Stand like a pine, sit like a bell, nine layers of nine-colored golden body—Nine Treasure Golden Bell Shield!"
Since Ning Rongrong's Spirit transformed into the Nine Treasure Golden Body Glazed Tile, Su Ran Teacher's Seven Treasure Golden Bell Shield also advanced to the higher-level Nine Treasure Golden Bell Shield, with the cultivation limit of seven layers becoming nine layers.
A strange scene occurred. Ordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas were held by Spirit Masters in their palms, but Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Golden Body Glazed Tile Pagoda was not only larger and more majestic, but at the instant the Nine Treasure Golden Bell Shield ultimate technique was released, her Spirit actually disappeared from behind her.
Her Spirit merged with her. Ning Rongrong's entire body was enveloped in three layers of golden ancient bells, with only a nine-colored ringed golden pagoda mark appearing on her forehead.
Although the Green Vines bound Ning Rongrong's body, Mu Yunteng was astonished to find that no matter how she controlled them, she couldn't throw Ning Rongrong away!
"Second Spirit Ability, Vine Dance!"
Mu Yunteng suddenly realized that this support system Spirit Master from Peach Garden Academy was indeed somewhat different. She quickly released her second Spirit Ability. Green Vines appeared on her hands, rapidly dancing and striking, forming multi-segment whip damage that landed on Ning Rongrong's body.
To everyone's amazement, Ning Rongrong seemed to be protected by something incredibly sturdy. Mu Yunteng's Vine Dance strikes were like hitting a rock, only forming golden ripples around Ning Rongrong's body, but they couldn't harm Ning Rongrong in the slightest.
The most infuriating thing was that Ning Rongrong just stood there, letting her hit:
"Harder!"
"Your damage is too low; it's hard enough to break through my first layer of defense. If I activated all five layers of the Golden Bell Cover, you wouldn't break through even by tomorrow."
"How is this possible? Aren't you a support system Spirit Master? Are you a defense system Spirit Master?! How is this possible!"
Mu Yunteng was a bit flustered. As the top existence among support system Spirits, they had heard their teachers talk about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit when they were studying at the academy. But this girl in front of her, her Glazed Tile Pagoda was not only nine-layered, but also possessed powerful defensive capabilities?
Teachers never taught that there was such a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!!!
Ning Rongrong said faintly: "Indeed, it's impossible, but my teacher is best at creating miracles. I am one of the miraculous works my teacher has crafted."
Mu Yunteng looked at Peach Garden Academy's viewing area, her gaze lingering on Su Ran for a moment: "Your teacher... Alright, even if I can't break through your defense, you support system Spirit Masters have no offensive power. At most, we'll end in a draw."
Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, her stance beginning to change. "Is that so?"
...
"Teacher, this... Is this still the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? What exactly is going on? Don't tell me, all of this is the doing of Dean Su?"
In the VIP box, Xue Qinghe, sitting next to Ning Fengzhi, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
This scene was too unexpected.
Even Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but ask Ning Fengzhi:
"School Master Ning, what exactly is going on? How can your daughter, as a support system Spirit Master, face the attacks of a control system Spirit Master completely unharmed?"
The Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop looked at Ning Fengzhi with fear: "Could this be a hidden trump card of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
If it truly was a hidden ability of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then it would be terrifying. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as a Sect dominated by support system Spirit Masters, could already rank among the Upper Three Sects. If they also possessed self-defense capabilities, then they would probably be even more terrifying than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the former Clear Sky Sect.
Ning Fengzhi smiled: "Your Majesty, this is a special Spirit technique my daughter learned from her teacher, which allows her to possess self-preservation abilities. However, this technique's defensive power is commendable, but it has no significant offensive capabilities."
No sooner had Ning Fengzhi finished speaking than, on the arena, Ning Rongrong said:
"Yongchun—Inch Punch!"
