"My Spirit is the Coiling Dragon Rod. Which junior will come to receive my guidance?"
A golden Dragon-patterned rod appeared in Demon Subduing Douluo's palm, and he looked at the Disciples present with a powerful Aura.
Although the Disciples of Peach Garden Academy were extraordinary, as a Super Douluo strong practitioner and a Prodigy of the older generation, Demon Subduing Douluo still had this much confidence.
"Teacher, let me spar with Elder Demon Subduing."
Wang Sheng cupped his hands. It wasn't that he wanted to stand out, but since he had provoked Demon Subduing Douluo, it wouldn't be good to let his other Senior Sisters deal with him.
"What we are comparing is the proficiency between spirit power and Spirit utilization, so Disciples with similar Spirits are naturally the best."
Su Ran scanned the Disciple seats, his gaze finally landing on a Named Disciple with a neatly tied bun and a heroic demeanor:
"Ruoshui, your Spirit is just right. Do you dare to contend with Demon Subduing Douluo with what you've learned?"
Qiu Ruoshui stood up, surprised that Teacher had called her name, and cupped her hands, saying:
"Disciple is willing to go. However, what Disciple practices is spear arts, and I am not familiar with rod arts. Would it be fair to Demon Subduing Douluo if Disciple uses spear arts?"
Demon Subduing Douluo waved his large hand: "You little girl, I have been playing with rods for a hundred years and have already reached a state of perfection. I have created my own Demon Subduing Rod Art. Am I afraid of your spear art?"
"Senior Demon Subduing, you misunderstand. It's just that when Teacher taught me spear arts, he once said that the spear evolved from the rod and is more lethal than rod arts, with more advantages in 1v1."
Qiu Ruoshui cupped her fists towards Demon Subduing Douluo. Although they were Named Disciples and didn't have as many resources as Core Disciples.
However, Teacher had never treated them unfairly and had taught them their own exclusive unique skills.
What Qiu Ruoshui learned was spear arts. After more than two years, Qiu Ruoshui had deeply grasped the essence of basic spear arts.
"The spear is more lethal, but it's not necessarily more advantageous. The rod has stronger destructive power. Just come. If I lose, I will have no complaints. However, it's impossible for me to lose."
Demon Subduing Douluo said confidently. Su Ran nodded at this moment, and said indifferently:
"Go."
"As you command, Teacher."
Qiu Ruoshui stepped with lotus steps, her posture and Aura were completely different from two years ago during the Soul Master Competition, revealing an Aura of not letting men surpass women:
"Spirit: Lotus Sea Spear, Level 48 Battle Spirit Ancestor, originated from Yang Family Spear, Six Harmonies Spear Art. Please enlighten me, Senior."
A ten-foot long spear appeared in Qiu Ruoshui's palm. The spear body was entirely azure blue, with a lotus as the red tassel, and the spear tip resembled a flower bud.
"Good girl, this is the first time a junior can be so calm and graceful when sparring with me. As expected of Dean Su's student."
"Since you are an Advanced Spirit Ancestor, I will suppress my spirit power to Level 51, so I won't take advantage of your spirit power."
Demon Subduing Douluo's feet sank, and five standard configuration spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black, appeared on his body.
"Offense taken, Demon Subduing Douluo."
Unexpectedly, Qiu Ruoshui's spear body trembled, and under the gaze of her fellow Senior Sisters, she took the initiative to attack.
My spear moves even if his doesn't, coming like the wind and going like an arrow.
"Good move!"
Qiu Ruoshui held the Lotus Sea Spear and thrust it forward.
Demon Subduing Douluo was unhurried and actually met it with the tip of the Coiling Dragon Rod.
"Third Spirit Ability: Coiling Dragon!"
The Dragon pattern on the Coiling Dragon Rod shone, and a golden Dragon surged, assisting with its Dragon might.
Qiu Ruoshui moved back with lotus steps to dissipate the force, her spear body trembling, showing signs of instability.
Demon Subduing Douluo's hand strength increased, and he pressed on with the advantage:
"Girl, I have one more spirit ring of spirit power than you. You can't block my Dragon might."
"Try my self-created Demon Subduing Rod Art, Shock Rod!"
The Coiling Dragon Rod, following Demon Subduing Douluo's force, began to vibrate at a low frequency to borrow strength, causing Qiu Ruoshui's Lotus Spear to tremble, and then snapped it apart, releasing his Fourth Spirit Ability:
"Girl, you're going to lose!"
"Golden Dragon Wagging Tail!"
The Dragon roared among the Peach blossoms, and the rod swung in all directions with immense power.
Qiu Ruoshui's eyes narrowed, and her third purple ring flashed under her feet. A lotus sea tide surged from her spear body, combining with her spear art. She held the spear as if cradling a pipa for defense, and was pushed back more than ten meters by Demon Subduing Douluo. Finally, the tip of her spear smoothly rested on the ground, and she actually used this force to leap back into the air. Her spear momentum was like a white snake spitting its tongue, stabbing towards Demon Subduing Douluo's left back.
Demon Subduing Douluo's expression changed in surprise, and he quickly turned sideways and leaned back, activating his Fifth Spirit Ability:
"Golden Dragon Emerging from the Mountain!"
The Coiling Dragon Rod in his hand transformed into a Golden Dragon, like a flood Dragon emerging from the sea, breaking out at an extremely fast speed. Spear and rod collided, creating a sharp clang.
Because Demon Subduing Douluo turned sideways and leaned back, he was impacted by a powerful force and slid several meters in a kneeling position. This force should have sent Qiu Ruoshui flying dozens of meters and injured her, but when Demon Subduing Douluo recovered and stood up, he felt a chill at the back of his head, as if something sharp was pressing against it.
It turned out that Qiu Ruoshui had let go of her long spear in advance, avoiding the main impact herself, while the long spear was instantly shaken off. With a turn, she controlled the dislodged Lotus Sea Long Spear, her spirit power exploding, performing an Azure Dragon's Return, and with her back facing him, the spear struck and pressed against the back of Demon Subduing Douluo's head.
The entire process was extremely fast, completed within two seconds. Even Demon Subduing Douluo didn't expect Qiu Ruoshui to have such a foundation and speed.
If the opponent were truly a Spirit King, this spear strike would probably be enough to pierce their skull.
Turning around, he saw the tip of the Lotus Spear pointing directly at his glabella.
Qiu Ruoshui quickly retracted her spear, performed a Peach Garden student's salute, and said:
"Demon Subduing Douluo, I apologize."
Clap, clap, clap!
At this moment, applause began to erupt from the student seats.
"Ruoshui, your spear art has improved again! You even defeated Demon Subduing Douluo!"
"Amazing! That return spear move was so cool!"
"Ruoshui is already this strong now? No wonder Teacher says I'm progressing slowly. If it were me, that spear strike would probably have exploded my head, hiss~"
Even Shui Yueer gasped. She could be poked by Teacher's spear, but she didn't want to be poked by Ruoshui's spear.
"Teacher Su, if I remember correctly, this Qiu Ruoshui should have been a low-ranking member of the Tianshui Academy team before. Under Teacher Su's guidance, she can even defeat a Consecrator of the Elder Palace. That's amazing."
Bibi Dong leaned into Su Ran's ear and praised him.
Su Ran was also quite satisfied with Qiu Ruoshui's performance, "She feigned defeat to borrow force, concentrating most of her spirit power on a fatal blow with precise spear control. This girl should be close to the Realm of human and spear becoming one. I haven't been here for two years, and she relied entirely on her own hard work. She is amazing herself; it has little to do with me."
"No... Teacher Su, you are also amazing."
Bibi Dong's face flushed slightly, and she whispered softly.
It's just, which kind of 'amazing' is she referring to?
...
"What exactly is going on? It was clearly my advantage, right? How could I lose?"
On this side, Demon Subduing Douluo's face was surprised. Even among his peers, he rarely met an opponent and had almost no defeats. Yet he lost to a girl who wasn't even twenty years old???
"Seventh Consecrator, you did indeed lose. The power of your Spirit Ability was mostly avoided by Student Qiu Ruoshui, and she used a return spear move on you."
Hu Liena raised her hand and spoke, somewhat impressed by Qiu Ruoshui's performance. And this was just a Named Disciple of the Academy?
How difficult would it be for her to advance to a Core Disciple then?
"Doesn't count, doesn't count. I was careless this time. Let's fight again. I saw you were young, so I gave you some leeway at first. My self-created Demon Subduing Rod Art hasn't even been fully utilized yet!"
Demon Subduing Douluo refused to admit defeat. How could his century-long undefeated record be cut short by this little girl?
"Grandpa Seven, don't be a sore loser. Can you restart a real battle too?"
Qian Renxue said coldly, her face as ugly as if someone had stolen her husband, speaking with no good tone.
She was originally very happy to attend Teacher's public class for the first time.
But seeing that woman, Bibi Dong, always by Teacher's side with a happy smile, made her dizzy with anger!
Especially now that this woman was still whispering something next to Teacher, and even blushing. What are you blushing about?
Qian Renxue's eyes were about to roll to the heavens.
Is she an assistant teacher, or is she dating my Teacher?!
