Chapter 62: Two-on-Two Spirit Fighting, the Blazing Combination

Ning Rongrong laughed: "Brother Wu Qi, don't worry. Your business is Rongrong's business. I'd like to see who dares to do you any harm!"

As she spoke, she curled her lip, "That bunch from the Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan first team really aren't decent people."

She had known Yu Tianheng for a long time. In the past, he always presented a kind and humble face in front of others; she hadn't expected him to act in such a petty, villainous manner.

As for Dugu Yan.

"Brother Wu Qi, you had best not provoke Dugu Yan."

Qiangu Changkong didn't understand the reason at first, but recalling Dugu Yan's surname and her martial soul, he suddenly understood.

"The compound surname Dugu, and a Jade Phosphor Snake martial soul... Miss Rongrong, could this Dugu Yan be a clansman of His Excellency the Poison Douluo?"

Ning Rongrong nodded.

Before arriving at Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan, Ning Fengzhi had told her about the situation of the children from great families within the academy.

"Not only that, Dugu Yan is also the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo. Dugu Bo is sinister and ruthless by nature, and acts in an unbridled manner. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't dare to easily offend him."

A rogue cultivator like Dugu Bo has no ties or burdens.

If he were truly pushed to the limit and ran into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to release poison, the latter would certainly suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, unless there is a direct conflict of interest, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not only avoid offending Dugu Bo, but will even try every possible means to win him over and curry favor with him.

As she spoke, she solemnly warned, "Brother Wu Qi, you had best stay away from Dugu Yan in the future."

"Father had people make inquiries and heard that this Dugu Yan is petty. If she goes to Dugu Bo to complain about you, that would be a huge problem."

For Wu Qi, he was practically hoping that Dugu Bo would take the initiative to come looking for him.

Only by entering the other party's line of sight would he have the opportunity to make contact and plot for the Immortal Herb.

After a pause, Wu Qi said: "Rongrong, feel free to pick any one of the remaining six villas in this row to live in. Later, we will go to the Great Spirit Arena to participate in Spirit Fighting."

Ning Rongrong blinked, "Brother Wu Qi, you fought several matches today; do you still have the energy to go Spirit Fighting?"

"Isn't this too diligent? Is there really a need for this?"

Before Wu Qi could speak, Qiangu Changkong laughed: "Currently, there are only three of us in the second team. We are still four people short of a complete team, not counting the substitutes."

"Tiandou City is a place where talent gathers and geniuses and powerhouses emerge in large numbers; perhaps we can find suitable team members at the Great Spirit Arena."

"Staying holed up in the academy every day won't bring any geniuses to our door. We have to get moving."

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and asked: "How about I go back to the sect and find a few people with good talent?"

Wu Qi shook his head, signaling her not to worry about the team selection.

Would Ning Fengzhi easily let go of the geniuses of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Besides, these geniuses are the future pillars of the sect. To avoid being targeted and assassinated, would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect easily make their identities public?

Ning Rongrong's idea was, in the end, more idealistic than practical.

……

At night, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena was bustling with noise and excitement.

The preliminary tournament for the previous two Spirit Master Tournaments was held here, and the next one would be no exception.

According to Wu Qi, coming here to participate in Spirit Fighting could be considered getting familiar with the competition venue in advance.

"Brother Wu, tonight we are the Reach for the Moon Combination. Should we have a Spirit Fighting match?"

Qiangu Changkong asked with a grin.

Wu Qi did not answer, but turned to look at Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, are you participating in the two-on-two Spirit Fighting tonight?"

Ning Rongrong didn't have much enthusiasm for Spirit Fighting, but she thought that since this was Tiandou City, it was very close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She highly approved of Wu Qi's strength. If the two of them participated in Spirit Fighting and could achieve good results, she would also have face when word got back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Thinking of this, she smiled: "Since Brother Wu Qi has personally invited me, how could Rongrong refuse?"

Following the last time they were mocked, the two had changed their combination to a new name—the Seven-Colored Phoenix Combination.

Wu Qi let out a laugh and turned his head to look at Qiangu Changkong, "Don't take the points too seriously. This is just training; discovering your own shortcomings is the key."

"Besides, with your strength, as long as the opponent isn't ridiculously strong, you won't necessarily lose."

Qiangu Changkong gave a dry laugh, "Hehe, the brotherhood is fading..."

The opponents matched in the one-on-one Spirit Fighting made Wu Qi feel somewhat regretful.

He hadn't run into a single one of the lead players from the Four Elements Academies.

As for the two-on-two Spirit Fighting, Wu Qi didn't hold much hope either.

They hadn't participated in many Spirit Fighting matches; it was only after today's competition ended that they had barely reached a ten-match winning streak. When the points were settled last month, their Spirit Fighting Badge had only just reached the Bronze Spirit Fighting Badge.

The main players of the Four Elements Academy Battle Team had participated in Spirit Fighting matches long ago.

He estimated that they would only run into them once they reached the Silver Spirit Fighting Badge level.

Inside a lounge at the Great Spirit Arena.

Several people dressed in fire-red school uniforms were sitting together discussing something.

The youth in the lead arranged: "The team has just been formed, and the academy hasn't officially started team training for us yet. We won't participate in team Spirit Fighting for now. How about we pair up two-by-two to get familiar with each other's strength first?"

The team members nodded earnestly.

Before today, they hadn't known each other.

For a newly formed team, the first battle is very important; it relates to the team's confidence and cohesion.

A disorganized group participating in team Spirit Fighting is destined to fail and will damage everyone's confidence. Since that's the case, there's no need to be stubborn.

"Brother, let's pair up." The young girl smiled sweetly and took the youth's arm.

They were the members of the Blazing Academy battle team.

The only girl in the team was Huo Wu, and as for the youth's identity, he was Huo Wushuang.

Huo Wushuang did not refuse, and after arranging for the other team members, he immediately went to the service desk to register.

……

"Will the Seven-Colored Phoenix Combination and the Blazing Combination please proceed to the Sixth Douhun Platform in Area Three within ten minutes."

The Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena is vast and has numerous Spirit Fighting platforms, so they broadcast ten minutes in advance to ensure contestants have enough time to reach their designated platforms.

In today's one-on-one Spirit Fighting, Qiangu Changkong achieved victory.

He was in an excellent mood and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, you go ahead; I will cheer for you from off the stage."

Wu Qi nodded.

The name of the Blazing Combination caught his attention.

Named after Blazing, could they be from the Blazing Academy?

Filled with curiosity, the two quickly arrived at the contestant tunnel, but the opponents did not seem to have arrived.

Even when the referee urged them to take the stage, there was still no sign of the opponents.

On the ring, after waiting for 2 minutes without seeing their opponents appear, Ning Rongrong could not help but say, "The Blazing Combination wouldn't be avoiding the fight, would they? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Their combination might have been somewhat famous at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, but here, they were no different from novices, so their opponents shouldn't be avoiding the fight.

Wu Qi noticed the referee's expression, which seemed to suggest that this was a common occurrence.

The interior of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena is very large, and those with a poor sense of direction might not necessarily find the right way within ten minutes.

According to past rules, after one side takes the stage, there is a ten-minute waiting period; only after that time expires will they be declared to have lost.

About five minutes later, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang hurried over.

The siblings were very familiar with the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena; they had only been delayed because they were guiding their teammates earlier.
