Oscar currently possessed three spirit skills: Recovery Sausage, Detoxification Small Sausage, and Flight Mushroom Sausage.
Recovery Sausage could heal wounds and restore stamina.
Detoxification Small Sausage mainly countered common poisons.
Flight Mushroom Sausage granted one minute of rapid flight.
In battle, there was no time to leisurely recover stamina, heal, or detoxify. Thus, the first two skills were of limited use in combat.
On the other hand, the Flight Mushroom Sausage's aerial mobility could be highly effective.
Ma Hongjun had two spirit skills—one for attribute enhancement, the other for attack.
Zhu Qing had two attack-based spirit skills.
Ning Rongrong had two skills that boosted strength and speed.
Xu Yunhan had four spirit skills, plus an external spirit bone, totaling four offensive abilities—and his spirit itself granted flight.
He was the strongest fighter in their group, capable of taking on Tang San's team alone.
But if he handled everything himself, what was the point of teamwork?
Still, Xu Yunhan's presence made their team's atmosphere relaxed—unlike Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Oscar, who were visibly tense.
Among the four opponents:
Dai Mubai and Oscar were Spirit Elders.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were Great Spirit Masters.
Their lineup: two power attackers, one controller, and one support.
Oscar frowned. "Big Bro has four attack skills, and his fourth is even a ten-thousand-year spirit skill. If he goes all out, we're finished."
Dai Mubai forced confidence. "Xu Yunhan is strong, but not unbeatable. Their overconfidence might give us an opening."
Xiao Wu, ever fearless, grinned. "I want to fight Yunhan. Even if I lose, I'll make it tough for him.
Tang San analyzed. "Dai Mubai, Oscar—you know Xu Yunhan and Ma Hongjun's skills. Explain them first, then we'll plan."
If only I could use hidden weapons or the Clear Sky Hammer... Tang San was confident he could rival Xu Yunhan under normal circumstances. But against a Spirit Ancestor who had even troubled Zhao Wuji? It was a different story.
First Skill—Bone Tiger Fist: A close-combat skill that transforms flesh into bone, granting immense strength.
Second Skill—Tiger's Roar: A sonic and mental attack, hard to resist.
Third Skill—White Tiger Doppelgänger: Creates two clones that can also use his other skills.
Fourth Skill—Gravity Field: A ten-thousand-year skill that manipulates gravity in a range—offensive and controlling.
Plus, his Three-Eyed White Tiger spirit allows flight!
Zhao Wuji had often used Xu Yunhan to "train" Oscar's group, leaving them traumatized. In Oscar's eyes, Big Bro was invincible.
Tang San processed this:
Tiger's Roar: Sonic/mental. His Purple Demon Eyes should counter it.
Bone Tiger Fist: Close-range. Dodgeable.
Doppelgänger + Gravity Field: The real threats.
Clones that also use skills? Ridiculous. But his Purple Demon Eyes might distinguish the real one.
Gravity Field: Area control + ten-thousand-year power. He'd felt Zhao Wuji's gravity skill—this was worse.
Oscar added, "Oh, and—all* of Big Bro's skills are instant-cast.*"
Tang San: "...What kind of monster is this?"
Xiao Wu, however, looked excited. "Yunhan's insane! I have to fight him!"
Dai Mubai interjected, "Ma Hongjun's no threat—only one attack skill. But Ning Rongrong's boosts are dangerous. We should take her out first.
Still holding a grudge, huh?
Tang San agreed. "Prioritizing the enemy's support is standard tactics. My teacher taught the same."
Oscar warned, "Zhu Qing's an agility attacker with two offensive skills. Don't underestimate her."
After a pause, Tang San laid out the plan:
All three (Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu) would engage.
Tang San would stall Xu Yunhan.
Dai Mubai/Xiao Wu would eliminate Ning Rongrong → Ma Hongjun → Zhu Qing.
If they could gang up on Xu Yunhan last, they might have a chance.
"No matter the odds, we fight with everything."
"The incense has burned out."
Yu Xiaogang's voice cut through their discussion.
"Begin the training."
"Release your spirits!"
He stepped back, yielding the arena.
Spirit release—a ceremonial, imposing display.
Three-Eyed White Tiger (Xu Yunhan)
Nether Spirit Cat (Zhu Qing)
Fire Phoenix (Ma Hongjun)
Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda (Ning Rongrong)
Evil Eye White Tiger (Dai Mubai)
Blue Silver Grass (Tang San)
Soft Bone Rabbit (Xiao Wu)
Then—spirit rings emerged.
Two yellow, or yellow-yellow-purple for Spirit Elders.
But Xu Yunhan's rings stole the show: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Black.
That black ten-thousand-year ring was blinding.
Spirit fusion complete. Rings retracted. Battle begins.
"First Spirit Skill—Entanglement!"
Tang San's yellow ring flashed as Blue Silver Grass vines erupted, lashing toward Xu Yunhan's team—primarily Zhu Qing and Ma Hongjun.
Ning Rongrong reacted swiftly:
"Seven Treasures: First, Strength! Second, Speed!"
Her pagoda glowed, enhancing Ma Hongjun and Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing dashed forward:
"Second Skill—Nether Claw Barrage!"
Her claws shredded incoming vines.
"First Skill—Phoenix Fire Line!"
A jet of flames incinerated the grass.
Xu Yunhan stayed put, guarding Ning Rongrong.
Arrogant? Tang San smirked. Fine. We'll pick off the others first.
Xiao Wu intercepted Zhu Qing:
"Your opponent's me!"
Dai Mubai targeted Ma Hongjun:
"You dare show off in front of me?"
Zhu Qing and Xiao Wu clashed evenly—Zhu Qing's speed countered by Xiao Wu's Waist Bow and Tang San's grass support.
