Chapter 192: I'll Add More Fuel to Your Fire!
Everyone then engaged in a heated discussion again, debating whether it was better to play a standard lineup or try the unconventional tactic Bai Yu suggested.
In the end, after much deliberation, they combined elements from both of Bai Yu's methods.
Ma Hongjun was replaced by Tai Long. At the start, the entire team would take to the air, attempting to eliminate the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters. After that, they would use a semi-charge formation to find an opportunity for Zhu Zhuqing to eliminate Huo Wu.
As the announcer called out, both teams entered the arena.
“Both sides bow, summon your Spirits, and the match officially begins!”
As soon as the referee's voice fell, the Shrek team's formation changed into a semicircle, surrounding Oscar and Ning Rongrong in the middle, forming a defensive formation.
Oscar was also quickly making Sausage, wanting his team to quickly implement the tactics discussed before the match.
Although the Chihuo Team didn't know what trick the opponent was playing, they understood that they couldn't allow the opponent to prepare without restraint.
Immediately, Huo Wushuang gave the command, intending to launch a probing attack.
“Go, disrupt their formation!”
As his voice fell, Huo Wushuang was the first to burst forth, a pair of fiery red dragon claws burning with flames, attacking the opposing side.
The Fire Leopard Spirit Master followed closely behind, his figure flickering back and forth behind Huo Wushuang, seemingly intending to coordinate attacks and cover any weaknesses.
The two Fire Crane Spirit Masters also continuously circled in the air, waiting for an opportunity, eyeing Ning Rongrong and Oscar, who were surrounded by the Shrek team.
The Shrek team naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Dai Mubai let out a low roar, raised his hands to meet Huo Wushuang, while Xiao Wu on the other side flickered her figure, appearing in front of the Fire Leopard Spirit Master, and kicked out.
“Bang! Bang!”
With two consecutive muffled thuds, all four were knocked back, and a burnt smell permeated the air.
At this moment, the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters in the air also made their move. They didn't attack the surrounded Oscar and Ning Rongrong as originally planned, but instead turned to attack Dai Mubai.
Tang San's eyes flashed, activating his third Spirit Ability, and Blue Silver Grass chains shot up from the ground, Binding towards the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters.
But unfortunately, the opponent's reaction was just as fast. The two Fire Star Spirit Masters activated their Spirit Ability, and specks of fire appeared. Although the flames were small, they ignited all of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
“Heh, you dare to send a plant-type Spirit Master onto the field against our Chihuo Team? You're simply courting death!”
Hearing the opponent's mockery, Tang San's face immediately darkened. He hadn't expected his Spirit Ability to be broken so easily.
He then recalled Bai Yu's Spirit, which was completely different from his. They had fought using Bai Yu's auxiliary Spirit Ability, and Ma Hongjun's flames had been completely ineffective.
While Tang San once again activated his Spirit Ability, wrapping Blue Silver Grass around Dai Mubai's waist to pull him back, he thought to himself:
“Damn it! Why is this happening? Why can Bai Yu's Spirit be immune to flames, but mine cannot?”
“Is it because his Spirit evolved? If so, will I have a chance in the future?”
“However, my first two spirit rings were not chosen well, and I don't know when I'll be able to evolve. Yu Xiaogang, you have chosen the path to death!”
One could only say that Tang San's combat instincts were indeed good. While his mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, he also pulled Dai Mubai out of the two's encirclement.
Seeing Dai Mubai rescued, the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters didn't entangle further but wanted to take flight again and reconsider their plan.
But before they could make any move, their pupils simultaneously constricted. Zhu Zhuqing had appeared in front of one of them at some unknown point.
Her third spirit ring flickered, and with her hands crossed, she swung them forward, and two dark purple energy blades appeared, attacking the person in front of her.
Xiao Wu, while being knocked back, once again activated her Spirit Ability, Flash, appearing in front of the other Fire Crane Spirit Master, and twisted her body to kick out.
“Fire Star, Amplify! x2”
“Repulsive Fire Ring!”
Seeing their two teammates about to suffer heavy injuries, the three behind Huo Wu quickly came to their rescue, using Fire Star to amplify Huo Wu's Repulsive Fire Ring.
Subsequently, a ring of flame rapidly expanded. Supported by the spirit power of the three, it directly sent Xiao Wu flying, and Zhu Zhuqing's attack also didn't last long before being dispersed.
Just as the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters successfully took flight and breathed a sigh of relief, Oscar finally finished making everyone's Sausage.
“It's done, everyone catch!”
Oscar shouted, flinging the Sausage in his hand to everyone.
The team members who received the Sausage didn't waste words and ate them directly. Before the Chihuo Team could react, they all charged towards the two Fire Crane Spirit Masters in the air.
“Roar! The other side is playing dirty!”
The two aerial units of the Chihuo Team only had time to let out a cry before being surrounded and eliminated by the Shrek team.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth and said with a grim expression:
“Amplify me. Don't they like to fly? I'll add more fuel to their fire and make them fly even higher!”
Subsequently, the Chihuo Team's formation changed. Huo Wushuang and the Fire Leopard Spirit Master each took a side, blocking in front of Huo Wu and her two teammates.
The two Fire Star Spirit Masters leaned close to Huo Wu, using their amplification Spirit Ability to channel all their spirit power onto Huo Wu.
“Huo Wu's Blazing Sun!”
As Huo Wu moved, a white-hot fireball slowly appeared in her hand. Then, she raised her hand and flung the fireball towards the Shrek team in the air.
The Shrek members' pupils constricted. This violent power truly made them tremble with fear. Immediately, Dai Mubai and the others' bodies instinctively reacted, furiously flapping the wings on their backs, wanting to retreat into the distance.
“Don't retreat! Stand behind Rongrong and me, we can block it! Rongrong, prepare the Spirit Fusion Ability!”
Zhu Zhuqing shouted loudly, then held hands with Ning Rongrong, simultaneously circulating their cultivation methods.
“Spirit Fusion Ability, Yin-Yang Reversal!”
After their spirit power merged, a Tai Chi diagram composed of gold and black colors appeared in front of them, rapidly spinning and expanding.
The others, hearing Zhu Zhuqing's shout, all took action. Xiao Wu had already known about this move, so she was already behind them before it even fully formed.
Dai Mubai and Oscar paused slightly, then chose to trust Zhu Zhuqing—no, they should say they trusted Bai Yu, who would surely teach them some life-saving techniques.
But this time, they were truly mistaken. Bai Yu did give them life-saving items, but those were spirit tools, not Spirit Abilities.
Bai Yu was also quite surprised at this moment. Before this, he truly hadn't known that Zhu Zhuqing and the others had researched such a move.
However, he had to admit, this move was very inventive. By fusing different elemental spirit powers cultivated from the same cultivation method, they formed a pseudo-Domain similar to a Domain. It was truly excellent!
As Bai Yu marveled, new changes occurred on the arena.
Tang San and Tai Long were seen frantically flapping their wings, their faces anxious, flying towards the back of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
