Chapter 20: Entry Allowed. Bibi Dong vs The Breaking Clan
"Huuuuuu~"
After a few breaths, everyone in Heaven Battle City finally got to relax their minds and bodies.
As they were feeling weak all over, most rested on the spot for a while before getting up.
Everyone was boiling with excitement.
"What was that just now?"
"It was so powerful. Look, even that side! Over there too! All of them have been suppressed!"
"I heard a voice, but I didn't hear it clearly. My head was buzzing, and I felt like I'm suffocating. I can't feel anything outside my consciousness!"
The entire Heaven Battle City was in an uproar.
This was destined to be the topic of gossip for the people of Heaven Battle City. There must be an expert that has entered town!
"Disperse! All of you! Go back to where you came from!"
At this time, the patrol soldiers also came back to their senses. They picked up their halberd again and drove the crowd away, trying to salvage their reputation.
Su Zhe did not move. Remembering Gui Mei's words, he took out a black card that had platinum words printed on it.
[Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament's exclusive black card. For special guests only. With entry rights.]
"Black card!"
"This little farmer has a black card!"
One of the onlookers saw Su Zhe take out a black card from his pocket, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. A farmer dressed in simple clothes like this actually has a black card for the tournament!
The Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion on Su Zhe's body rolled its eyes. Simple and crude farm clothes? Hehe, you stupid humans! The material of this clothing is something you won't be able to afford even if you work hard for your entire life!
"Could he have stolen or picked up this black card?"
A voice came from the crowd, but it was mocked mercilessly, "Big brother, that's the black card for the tournament. Only a very small number of people, at least the distinguished friends of the upper three sects, can get such a card. Do you think it's like a cabbage in the vegetable field, you can rob and steal it as you wish? "
"With that card in his hands, no matter how ordinary he looks, he will still be given validity as the rest of the guest!"
"Perhaps he's just playing dumb. He's obviously a strong man, but maybe he's pursuing a simple life and living in nature."
Most of them sighed silently. It was so good to be strong. No matter where they went, these powerful people were always the centre of attention. As for them, they could only be envious.
"Sir, please follow me, I'll lead you into the arena."
At this time, a tactful receptionist from the spirit arena walked over and brought Su Zhe in, relieving the awkward situation for the patrol soldiers.
Su Zhe didn't want to cause any trouble or get someone killed. He had come out this time to watch sister Dong 'er's match happily.
Although Su Zhe did not think much of it, the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion was cold-blooded. It threw out a cold needle from its scorpion tail and pierced the body of the patrol soldier from a certain angle.
The sharp pain felt like being lightly bitten by an ant, but it contained an extreme cold that froze the bloodline and spirit power in the man's body. This person's future would probably be destroyed as he would soon become a cripple.
If he was caught and punished by Bibi Dong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Su Zhe was led to his seat. There were many well-dressed spirit masters around him, but he was the only one who was dressed in plain farmer's clothes.
Su Zhe did not mind. A thousand readers had a thousand hamlets while different people had different images. Everyone had their own way of living. He was fine as long as he felt happy!
At the moment, on the outer side of the ring, there were ten thousand royal knights that surrounded it. Their helmets reflected the sunlight and their armors were shining. There were two rows of them. The front row stood on the ground, while those in the second row sat on their rides, forming a huge circle.
Such a tight defense could be said to be watertight. It could prevent the group arena spirit master's attacks from harming the audience, and also prevent the audience spirit masters from being overly excited, disturbing the order inside the arena.
Then, in the center of the stage was Bibi Dong's beautiful figure.
She had searched for Su Zhe thousands of times in the crowd, but when she suddenly turned around, that man was sitting amongst the crowd!
With a careless glance, Bibi Dong glanced at the audience and once she saw Su Zhe, she finally felt at ease.
Brother Su Zhe is here!
Su Zhe's heart tightened. 'Just in time.'
"Hey, are you going to fight or not? Are you scared by that momentum just now? This kind of heart isn't suitable for a duel. I won't have mercy on you just because you're a little girl. I will definitely beat you until you cry!"
Standing across from Bibi Dong was a member of the Clear Sky School battle team, Yang Tian of the Breaking Clan, one of the four great single attribute subsidiary sects of the Clear Sky Sect.
Yang Tian was the favorite disciple of the Breaking Clan, the direct disciple of patriarch Yang Wudi, and his spirit was also a top spirit, the Soulbreaking Spear. He was a mature forty-fifth ranked strength spirit ancestor, similar in age to Tang Hao and the others. He had a handsome-looking face and seems to only be in his twenties.
The Clear Sky Sect team was also a strong contender for the champion of the tournament.
The crowd had just recovered from the terrifying power. After a short period of recovery time, they returned to their competitive state.
After all, a power of that rank was not something an ordinary spirit master could resist.
Only the sect masters and elders of the great sects, including the young Emperor Xue Ye, called for his guards and gave a secret order. "Go and find out who was the one who did that. Report back immediately once you know who it is!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
Back at the spirit arena's group tournament, the competition will start as usual.
"Seeing how you're still a child, I don't want to bully you. I'll let you have three moves ahead of me. You can make the first move now."
Yang Tian looked down on Bibi Dong, his face full of arrogance. He knew that this girl was the saintess of the Spirit Hall, and that she had made an exception to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and was extremely talented.
However, he was not the slightest bit afraid because she was only a twelve-year-old girl. No matter how talented she was, she was not on the same level as them. She was only a spirit elder and he was ten ranks higher than her. What was there to be worried about?
Not only Yang Tian, most of the audience also sighed as well.
"I've heard since a long time ago that the saintess from Spirit Hall will be in the main team this time, but I didn't expect it to actually be true. Moreover, they have such bad luck. They got matched up with the Clear Sky School team in the first match of the ranking competition. Spirit Hall is in deep trouble this time!"
"Fortunately, this is only for the ranks and there is no elimination. Perhaps the other members of Spirit Hall will also be able to get a good ranking, but they definitely can't compare to the Clear Sky School."
In the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, the ranking competition was an individual track. Even though the participating teams still sent out seven participating students, it was a one-on-one battle. The winner would continue to stay on the stage, and the loser team would continue to send the rest of the students on stage until one team gets completely defeated.
Such competition rules were also beneficial to the Empire's talent selection.
The ranking competition would rank the 15 participating teams. This would make it more convenient to decide who gets into the Grand Finals with no elimination rounds.
"This little girl is so pretty. I'm afraid she's just a flower vase. She's going to be beaten and would start crying for her mother, right?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Twelve years old! I'm afraid that's the youngest participant since the start of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament?"
"It should be. At least I've never seen a spirit master's disciple who just turned twelve that could enter the ranking competition."
"I don't know what Spirit Hall is thinking. Could it be that they want to give this little girl a platform to sharpen herself?"
"Perhaps that may be possible. I heard that Spirit Hall also plans to hold a tournament of their own. The scale of it might even be above the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament!"
"..."
Su Zhe quietly listened to the discussions around him but he wasn't bothered by them. Even though his understanding of the Douluo continent wasn't comprehensive or detailed, as a time traveler, he still knew Bibi Dong's talent and strength.
So what if she lost? She was still capable of becoming Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff in the future, where she would rule over thousands of people.
To her, this competition was just a stepping stone on her path to success.
Bibi Dong smiled. In the preliminaries before, the Clear Sky School had sent one genius each from each of the four subsidiary sects, namely Strength, Break, Agility, and Defense along with the Clear Sky double stars (who would usually be representatives from the Clear Sky Sect themselves), as well as a support spirit master who was a spirit emperor.
In this ranking competition, the Clear Sky School clearly underestimated the enemy. There were only three or five people in the team, and they didn't plan on sending all seven people on stage. It looked like they wanted to end the competition with only two or three people.
The ranking competition was different from the group competition of the preliminaries. Every student would display their individual strength in front of the audience. The Clear Sky School was known for their overbearing strength, and indeed had the rights to have such pride.
"If that's the case, then I'll crush your hopes."
Bibi Dong thought to herself, 'she only had to shock everyone with a single brilliant feat, letting everyone know that Spirit Hall was even more powerful than the Clear Sky School!
Her Thundergod Spider was even more terrifying than the number one tool spirit on the continent, the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, thirty eighth ranked war spirit elder. Her spirit is the Undying Thundergod Spider!"
A purple-gold divine spider suffused with formidable lightning power appeared. There were also three spirit rings under Bibi Dong's feet. It was unexpectedly different from the one shown at the coronation ceremony. It was not yellow, yellow and black as expected but rather, purple, purple and black!
"Her first spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring!"
"The second one is a thousand-year spirit ring?"
"And her third ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring?!
"How is this possible?"
"What kind of monster is this!"
"I'm not dreaming right? Quick, give me a kiss, I want to feel it!"
"Pa pa pa!"
"F*ck, I asked you to kiss me, not hit me!"
"Pervert!"
In an instant, the entire Great Spirit Arena was in an uproar.
Her infamous purple, purple, and black spirit rings were revealed. This was unprecedented in history!
"What's going on?"
"Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji has brought up an extraordinary disciple. I really want to know, how did she manage to get such spirit rings?"
In fact, the spirit master world's most reasonable spirit ring configuration was: Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black...
It wasn't that there weren't any spirit masters that broke this configuration, but they were extremely rare. It was so rare that you couldn't even find a handful of them in the entire empire, let alone someone like Bibi Dong who broke it to such a large extent!
"To tell you the truth, Dong'er obtained an opportunity in the Great Battle Star Forest. She was offered as a sacrifice by an extremely powerful spirit beast to obtain this configuration. It is indeed her fortune as well as Spirit Hall's fortune and at the same time, also a blessing to our empire."
Qian Xunji quickly replied to the young Emperor Xue Ye. As he looked at Bibi Dong, he was indeed satisfied with what she had achieved.
"It must be the little dragon's excess spirit power that seeped out, nourishing her first and second spirit rings into thousand-year spirit rings."
Su Zhe was surprised as well, but he quickly came to a conclusion. There was no other possibility.
At the moment, Bibi Dong looked at Yang Tian arrogantly and said, "Show your spirit and use your most powerful attack. I heard that spirit masters from the Breaking Clan are born with a ten thousand year spirit ring, and can easily fight above one's rank."
"Today, let's see if the ten-thousand-year spirit ring on your Soulbreaking Spear would be stronger than mine!"
