The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 369 - 182: Turtle School Qi Wave_1

"Squeak, squeak!!"

The battle commenced without any probing. They fought to their limits right from the start.

Although Ren had a lower rank than Tan Ziping, as a Magic Apprentice, his powers counteracted those of a Calligrapher.

Be it ’Bind Words to Body’ or ’Mysterious Characters’, they are weakened innately by 30% in the face of intense elemental fluctuations.

"Boom!"

The grey rat named "Mud Flying Rat" belonged to the Earth Element Demon Beasts.

Despite its seemingly plump size, mud drops when it runs and jumps.

This type of Fond Spirit possesses a racial skill called ’Mud Shell’ that when activated continuously, is like wearing layers of soft armor.

Ordinary wild beasts can’t touch its core with bare knuckles or while lashing out. Instead, they would be offset by the heavy mud shell.

"Whoosh!"

The Mud Flying Rat jumped, scampered and flew.

It spat out a series of mud bullets. The flying ink characters faced it head-on, rippling. They persisted for a few seconds, but eventually shattered and disintegrated.

Tan Ziping retreated and hid behind a big tree.

However, the Mud Flying Rat relentlessly approached him, its cold eyes gleaming. Suddenly, a mountain of sludge appeared out of nowhere, tightly clutching Tan Ziping’s legs.

"Splat!"

The Poison Ink Octopus fought back.

It sprayed poisonous ink, counterattacking the nose of the Mud Flying Rat.

Even though its attack was successful, it couldn’t dodge the fact that the Mud Flying Rat had an extraordinary resistance to poison. Tan Ziping was lucky if his paralyzing and blindness poisons could have 20-30% of the desired effect.

With a scream, the Mud Flying Rat summoned a mud rain, further restricting the movements of the man and the octopus.

Tan Ziping frantically wrote, with scruffy ink characters gushing out, breaking through the mud and flooding Ren’s body.

"Elemental Supply!"

With a soft chant, a yellowsish-brown ray shot out from Ren’s chest, completely entering the Mud Flying Rat’s body.

In a split second, the Mud Flying Rat shone with a grayish light. Its speed of mud ejection and low-flying speed both slightly increased.

"Blub, blub, blub!"

Tan Ziping’s ink characters didn’t fly very far. They were all struck down and crushed.

He was stuck fighting, while constantly running and maintaining his writing.

Barely holding on for fifteen minutes, his physical strength and energy had dipped below normal.

But Tan Ziping was still struggling, using small tricks to continuously harass Ren, and didn’t let him easily win.

"I concede."

After twenty minutes, Tan Ziping voluntarily conceded.

He gasped for breath and then left the battlefield slowly with his desolate and as if dehydrated Poison Ink Octopus.

The female mentor named "Jie Shu" was fair to everyone.

She and Shao Yao were both D-rank Priests.

With one hand, she used ’Dispel’ to break abnormal states and ’Great Healing Skill’ with the other to speed up wound healing.

Additionally, the Light Attribute Jade Infant fetus was used. Unless it’s a fatal injury, healing was possible.

"Pant... we finally reclaimed some territory!"

"It was not easy at all. Even though we have a restricting relationship, the process of victory was so difficult."

"There’s no choice. They’re both exceptional from the second rank. If this wasn’t a fight to assess each other’s abilities, but a fight to the death, the danger levels would be exponentially higher."

After cheering, more than half of the students of Tianyafu Residence became solemn.

The majority of them, even if they had heard about the strengths and weaknesses of Canghai Pavilion and Tianyafu Residence, didn’t have a clear concept without personally witnessing or comparing.

Now, the ninth among the Ten Talents was able to force two out of the Eight Battleaxes into a complete defeat and heavy exhaustion.

Theoretically, there are still eight people stronger than Tan Ziping.

The pressure... suddenly increased!

Even the newest students could appreciate that the difficulty for Tianyafu Residence to defeat Canghai Pavilion was really high.

"Oh, Brother Tan lost. Is it my turn to perform?"

Huo Xin smoothed his hair, always aware of his appearance.

He undid a few buttons on his tight shirt, casually revealing his sturdy figure.

Then, this flashy guy pulled two ceremonial cannons out of his ’Trick Pocket’, yanked them open, and slowly stepped onto the battlefield amid a flurry of rose petals.

"The eighth of Canghai Pavilion, Jin Shanshan."

"Brother, why not surrender now? I can see that even though you are not injured, your breathing has become uneven."

"If we fight now, you’ll be beaten in two to three minutes and will be described as weak forever."

"It’s not your concern. If we’re going to fight, then let’s fight."

Ren coldly dropped a sentence, cold glimmers in his eyes.

His condition was indeed not good, but since he was on the stage, wearing down his opponent’s strength and exposing their weaknesses was a way to help the other members of the Eight Battleaxes.

"Then let’s start."

Huo Xin slackened one eye and glanced sideways, confirming that Yan Xuehui was watching the fight. His heart started racing.

"Whoosh!"

The Golden Fish Scale Cat entered the stage. Without the need of an instruction, it instantly disappeared in the dense woods and reappeared behind Ren in the next instant.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The Mud Flying Rat bristled and immediately swung around in defense.

It spat out a huge glob of mud that turned into a thin, curtain-like membrane circling around Ren.

However, the Golden Fish Scale Cat’s target was not Ren!

Attacking the Patron is no doubt efficient, but unexpectedly going against the norm would also present an opportunity to exploit a flaw.

"Meow!"

With the ’Surprise Attack’ linking the ’Kitty Claw’, the Golden Fish Scale Cat pierced through the mud shell of the Mud Flying Rat creating a through and through hole.
