The lightning spheres around Li Ziqi were densely packed. They were like satellites that revolved around her in an irregular manner.
Zhao Lei's eyelids twitched, and her scalp went numb.
How were they supposed to fight?
Moreover, that turtle shell did not look easy to deal with!
She couldn't possibly protest to the judge and say that she had violated the rules by using a spirit rune, right?
In that case, wouldn't it seem like he had no way to deal with it?
Zhao Lei also wanted to save face. Her opponent was ten years younger than her, so no matter what tricks her opponent used, she should win for sure.
Zhao Lei was too embarrassed to protest, but the referee would not allow this to happen.
"The competition prohibits the use of overly powerful weapons and auxiliary equipment. This is for the sake of fairness."
The referee reiterated.
"I didn't buy these. They're all my savings."
Li Ziqi explained.
"If you don't believe me, you can find a spiritual tattooist to identify it. These are all my handwriting."
The judge nodded. If the examinees used their own knowledge to create equipment, they could use it in the competition. This included weapons, alchemical pills, spirit runes, puppets, etc.
"Do you want to check it?"
The referee asked Zhao Lei.
He didn't doubt it because right now, all the examiners knew of Li Ziqi's outstanding performance in the spirit runes class. She was a genius that even the 7-star great teacher Tong Xugao praised highly.
"No need!"
Zhao Lei shook her head.
"Then let the competition continue!"
The referee signaled for the match to begin.
"You attack first!"
Zhao Lei gave way.
"You're welcome. You go first!"
Li Ziqi mentally mused that she wanted to, but she was afraid that when she ran over, she might trip and fall midway. If that happened, all her previous efforts would be wasted.
Thus, the two of them fell into a deadlock.
However, at this moment, the summoning was completed. Ma Qianqian, whom the little sunny egg had captured in the Darkness Ruins, appeared on the arena.
"You're a spiritualist?"
Zhao Lei was shocked.
He couldn't be careless now.
After all, over ninety percent of a spiritualist's combat power lay in their battle pets.
"I shouldn't have declined just now!"
Zhao Lei felt a little regretful.
That battle pet was in the shape of a middle-aged man. However, it only had an upper body and its lower body was a wisp of mist …
Wait, you're dressed in rags and you don't even have a weapon. What the hell is that?
He looked more like a refugee who had suffered from famine than a fierce general!
"Hey, take my ultimate move!"
Ma Qianzu roared as if he was singing a drama. He gestured with his hands and feet a few times with a solemn expression. Then, he touched his wrists and pushed them towards Zhao Lei.
Kamehameha!
Zhao Lei didn't dare to be careless. She immediately took a few steps back and put some distance between them.
A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. Since Li Ziqi's results in the written examination were so good, she most likely wouldn't be bad in the combat examination either. Moreover, given her dual identities as the princess of the Great Tang Empire and Sun Mo's eldest disciple, the cultivation art she cultivated in must be a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. The spiritual beast she used must also be a peak-grade one that someone had caught for her.
These damn rich people!
However, the expected attack did not come. Instead …
Puff!
Ma Qianzu let out a loud fart!
"Hmm?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. What the hell?
But at this moment, Li Ziqi took the opportunity when Ma Qianshou attracted Zhao Lei's attention and completed the wind spirit summoning.
Two Wind Elementals appeared in the ring.
They were not in human form, but in the form of a three-meter tall tornado.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
The wind elements spun and began to shoot out crescent-shaped wind blades.
"Everyone, be careful! Don't get hurt!"
The judge hurriedly called out.
Zhao Lei hurriedly brandished her sword to block. After that, her countenance turned unsightly because those wind blades were abnormally sharp. When they hit the sword, nicks immediately appeared on it.
Sigh!
There was no solution to it. Zhao Lei was also a child from a poor family and couldn't afford a good weapon. She could only use an ordinary longsword that cost a few hundred taels.
Seeing that her longsword was full of nicks and was about to shatter, Zhao Lei didn't dare to delay and rushed toward Li Ziqi.
Ma Qianshou immediately dashed toward Li Ziqi and pointed a finger at Zhao Lei!
Corpse Ghost Seal!
"F * ck!"
Zhao Lei's scalp turned numb and she blurted out a curse.
Ma Qianshou was in his soul form. At this moment, his eyes were wide open in anger as he unleashed his ultimate skill. That stance was simply too terrifying.
Also, the name of this ultimate skill was also terrifying!
Almost instinctively, Zhao Lei didn't dare to attack. She chose to temporarily evade.
Hence, another two Wind Elementals were summoned.
This time around, the entire arena was filled with spiraling wind blades that surrounded and attacked Zhao Lei.
She could still resist for a while, but the longsword in her hand couldn't. It was shattered. Now that she had no weapon, she was in an even more miserable state.
"Eh? Is Ma Qianshou so powerful? "
Lu Zhiruo was dumbfounded.
If she didn't remember wrongly, this guy was trash. He couldn't even be compared to her spirit qi roaming dragon that only knew how to eat grass.
"It's an act!"
Qin Yaoguang explained in a low voice.
"Ah?"
The papaya girl was astonished. This was possible?
"..."
Sun Mo was also in a daze. He didn't expect Eldest Baby to think of such a battle tactic.
If his combat strength wasn't enough, he would use his acting skills to make up for it!
One couldn't help but say that the acting skills of this Ma Qianshou who only knew how to bootlick were really strong. If it wasn't for the fact that Sun Mo was too familiar with the names of the two moves, he would have jumped in shock.
Sun Mo's identity as the author of [Journey to the West] was known to all his disciples. Everyone liked this book very much, but they didn't dare to be rash and asked him to continue writing it.
However, the papaya girl was an exception. Her watery big eyes stared at Sun Mo with worship, and Sun Mo decided to compromise. He told her many stories one after another.
The response to the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' wasn't high. After all, the struggle for hegemony in the continent and the ingenious strategies were too brain-burning. The papaya girl didn't like it.
Sun Mo had no choice but to talk about the dragon ball. This plot was very simple and there weren't any unfamiliar words. The main character was still Sun Wukong, so it was very easy to understand.
The papaya girl felt that Yamucha was too pitiful and requested to add more scenes for him. Sun Mo had no choice but to add some ultimate moves similar to the Corpse Ghost Seal.
Of course, the little sunny egg had heard everything and even recorded it down.
Sun Mo didn't expect that she would use it here.
Zhao Lei heaved a sigh of relief when she didn't see Ma Qianshou's ultimate move. She didn't have too many suspicions. She felt that it was because she had dodged fast enough that Ma Qianshou had lost the chance to attack.
"What should I do now?"
Zhao Lei had thought of rushing forward again, but the two wind elementals were blocking in front of her. Ma Qianshou was also cruising outside, staring at her. She had no chance at all.
During this period of hesitation, another two wind elementals were summoned.
This time around, Zhao Lei had no chance at all.
If she didn't wish to be beheaded by those crescent moon-shaped wind blades, she could only leave the arena and give up.
"Find elder sister and give up. If you continue fighting, you will die!"
Li Ziqi persuaded. "Moreover, I haven't used my trump card yet."
Looking at the shields on Li Ziqi's body, Zhao Lei heaved a sigh of relief and gave up.
"I admit defeat!"
"Oh yay, eldest martial sister has won!"
Lu Zhiruo cheered happily.
The judge glanced at Ma Qianshou and then assessed Li Ziqi, revealing a smile of understanding.
After all, he was an expert at the divine force realm and could naturally sense that the spirit qi fluctuations from Ma Qianshou weren't great. Usually speaking, when an ultimate move was unleashed, it would be accompanied by a tremendous amount of spirit qi fluctuations.
However, Zhao Lei was young and inexperienced. It was understandable that she couldn't tell.
After Li Ziqi left the arena, she immediately reported the good news to Sun Mo.
"Teacher, I won!"
"Well done!"
Sun Mo praised.
"Hehe!"
Li Ziqi beamed. But after that, she revealed a bitter expression. "It's a pity that it's a lie. It's not a long-term plan after all."
"Who said that? Your battle tactics can still continue to be perfected and evolved! "
Sun Mo encouraged, "Moreover, you've completely unleashed your advantage. Those two wind elementals were summoned very quickly and well!"
"That's right, you can actually summon two at once. Eldest martial sister, how did you do it?"
Lu Zhiruo was curious.
She had also learned this summoning incantation. It was extremely difficult to pronounce it, and she kept biting her tongue. Hence, she gave up. She still preferred to use spiritual beasts that could jump out on her own.
"I changed some of the details of the incantation!"
Li Ziqi explained.
"Ah? That's possible? "
Lu Zhiruo was shocked.
"These incantations were also invented by others. As long as you understand their operating principles, you can modify them."
Li Ziqi explained.
Qin Yaoguang sighed in admiration.
Eldest martial sister's athletic ability was too weak, but her brain and learning ability were too strong.
Just in terms of chanting incantations, her speed and accuracy were superior to many adult spiritual controllers.
"If I win another round, I'll be a 1-star great teacher. I'm going to break the record!"
Lu Zhiruo felt even happier than Li Ziqi herself.
"Teacher Zhao!"
Sun Mo called out.
Zhao Lei, who had a cold expression, hurriedly reined in her emotions and squeezed out a smile.
"Teacher Sun!"
She was an intern teacher and didn't have the qualifications to address Sun Mo as Teacher Sun.
"Your combat experience is too little. After you go back, you have to practice more. If not, you might still be stuck at this level next year."
Sun Mo suggested.
"Mn!"
Zhao Lei nodded.
"You have a slender figure and are suitable for agility-type cultivation arts. I have a Cloudwalk Art here, do you want to learn it?"
Zhao Lei's aptitude was average. Sun Mo was so generous because she was an opponent defeated by the little sunny egg.
"Can... can I?"
Zhao Lei stuttered a little.
She knew about the Cloudwalk Art. It was a high-grade heaven-tier cultivation art and was a very valuable cultivation art.
"Calm your heart!"
Sun Mo gathered his thoughts and then imprinted the cultivation art's essence into her mind.
"I wish you success next year."
Sun Mo smiled. "Oh right, there's a dark building in the Central Province Academy named the Illusion Dojo. One can fight against all sorts of experts in history. If you are interested, you can come and take a look."
"I'll definitely go!"
Zhao Lei was agitated and directly contributed 3,000 + favorable impression points.
She suddenly felt that failing this time around wasn't unacceptable. In fact, she wanted nothing more than to try a few more times. Wouldn't she be able to learn a few more powerful cultivation arts then?
"I feel that Teacher is about to become a master salesman."
The sickly invalid teased.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before his teacher's generosity would spread through the great teacher world.
After all, it wasn't common for a prodigal son to give away a heaven-tier cultivation art so casually.
Although the competition would end within a day, for the sake of fairness, each examinee would have one match in the morning and one in the afternoon. This was to ensure that they would have sufficient time.
At 3 pm, Li Ziqi went up the stage and welcomed her second opponent.
