Tang San was completely stunned.
Me? A Level 25 control-system Spirit Master? He wants me to stop two agility-attack system Spirit Elders?
Is he kidding me? That's just crazy.
He was extremely unhappy with Dai Mubai's tactical arrangement, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only stand foolishly in place. He just couldn't believe that the other members of the Shrek Team would just stand by and watch him get beaten.
Everyone knew that a Spirit Grandmaster couldn't possibly stop two Spirit Elders.
He decided he would just do his best. If he failed, it wasn't his fault.
At that moment, Tang San suddenly noticed that the Shrek Team seemed to be missing someone. Only then did he remember that he couldn't see Captain Huo Feng.
Tang San recalled that he had watched two of the Shrek Team's previous battles. Huo Feng usually didn't make a move at the start.
"But this is the Royal Fight Team!" Tang San thought, panicking. "Is he still not going to move? And he's letting Dai Mubai send me, a Spirit Grandmaster, to deal with two Spirit Elders? This is ridiculous!"
Tang San was completely dumbfounded.
He really started to suspect that the rest of the Shrek team didn't care if he lived or died.
But they were all from Shrek Academy. He had to believe Huo Feng wouldn't just ignore him if he was in real danger. Even if he was just a substitute.
"Gulp—!"
Tang San nervously swallowed and looked up at the Royal Fight Team.
Among all their members, the one with the biggest change after his Spirit possession was probably the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master, Yu Feng.
A pair of medium-sized wings grew from his back. Unlike the host Dou Dou's white dove wings, his wings were brownish-yellow. The feathers didn't look soft at all; they looked solid.
Yu Feng's wings hadn't grown out of thin air. Instead, his arms had transformed into them.
At this moment, he flapped his wings and soared into the air. He looked down at the Shrek Team's movements, but he also remembered to glance up at the beautiful Dou Dou.
He even whistled at her.
Clearly, he wasn't taking the Shrek Team seriously at all.
Because the Royal Fight Team's front-row members were standing so close together, the Shrek Team couldn't see their support-system Spirit Master, the Nine Heart Begonia, Ye Lingling.
The pressure from the opponent's optimal spirit ring configuration—two yellow and one purple for every member—was huge.
In both Spirit quality and spirit ring configuration, the Shrek Team was at a complete disadvantage this time. These were two areas where they usually had an advantage over other teams.
Even Huo Feng's "on-paper" strength was only equal to that of the opposing captain, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master, Yu Tianheng.
But everyone knew that Huo Feng's real strength was not just what was written on paper.
Still, although their faces were hidden by masks, the other Shrek members were extremely serious. For them, this was going to be an incredibly hard fight.
At this moment, Dou Dou, floating in the air, felt her face flush a little from Yu Feng's stare. But she maintained her professional composure and didn't bother with him.
Two extremely simple words, enough to light the fuse, came from her lips.
"Begin."
With a tiger's roar to the sky, Dai Mubai boosted his team's morale with his actions. He charged toward the opponent first.
He had activated his White Tiger Barrier, covering his entire body in a golden glow. Coupled with his fearless aura, he looked very striking.
The Shi Brothers' expressions were like the turtle shells on their bodies—they hadn't changed at all. Seeing Dai Mubai charge forward, the two showed no fear. They moved closer to the center, blocking Dai Mubai's path directly.
Their first spirit rings lit up. A dense, heavy aura came from the two Black Tortoise Turtle Spirit Masters. The yellow light covering their bodies, combined with their heavy turtle shells, showed they were ready to meet Dai Mubai's impact.
Dai Mubai stomped his left foot hard on the ground, and his entire body leaped into the air. Claws extended from his tiger paws, and he aimed both hands directly at the Shi Brothers' heads.
At that exact moment, Ning Rongrong's support landed on him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's 30% increase in power and 30% increase in speed hit him precisely. This immediately increased the speed of Dai Mubai's attack and the power of his tiger claws.
Although this seemed like a simple change, the sudden increase in both power and speed could easily cause an opponent to make a mistake while defending.
After all this time fighting together, the Shrek Team's coordination no longer required words.
With Dai Mubai's spirit power and the sharpness of his tiger claws, he could shatter hard rock, let alone a human head.
However, the Shi Brothers used a simple but extremely bizarre move to stop his attack.
Just as the tiger claws were about to hit, the heads of the two brothers suddenly retracted, pulling down into their chests. More accurately, they pulled their heads inside the incredibly hard turtle shells on their bodies.
Dai Mubai's pair of tiger claws, naturally, could only grasp those hard turtle shells.
CLANG!
A loud sound echoed throughout the arena, and sparks flew as Dai Mubai's claws struck the shells.
Dai Mubai's body was in the air, and his arms were jolted high up by the impact. Even though the White Tiger Barrier neutralized a lot of the force, his tiger claws were still numb from the strong rebound.
As one of the strongest defensive Spirits, the Black Tortoise Turtle was not so easily broken.
And at that very moment, a blue figure appeared in front of Dai Mubai.
The thick dragon arm shimmered with a dazzling blue light under the arena's lights.
Before the arm even arrived, blue lightning had already condensed into a claw shape in mid-air. It was striking directly at Dai Mubai's exposed chest.
All of this seemed to have been calculated.
When Dai Mubai had charged forward, the Royal Fight Team's captain, Yu Tianheng, had also charged. But at that moment, the two Black Tortoise Turtle Spirit Masters were moving closer together, completely hiding Yu Tianheng's movements behind them. It was impossible for the Shrek Team to see him.
And just as Dai Mubai's attack failed and his defenses were wide open, Yu Tianheng leaped into the air. His first spirit ring flashed brightly, and the condensed lightning dragon claw struck out.
How fast is lightning? Dai Mubai almost saw the blue figure and felt the blue-purple electric claw at his chest at the same time.
Even if Dai Mubai could force his jolted, numb arms down to block, he could only use his arms to block the attack. He would immediately be at a huge disadvantage.
As the strongest attacking Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master, Yu Tianheng could easily follow up with his teammates, and the scales of victory would tip completely.
At the critical moment, Dai Mubai leaped!
He jumped back, directly revealing Tang San, who was standing not far behind him.
