Xu Wei's smile froze on his face. He looked at Kong Xuan beside him, with a 'why' expression.
Xu Tianyi and Kong Ling, who were nearby, also cast inquiring glances.
Meeting their gazes, Kong Xuan felt that the team truly lacked a control system Spirit Master to arrange their formation.
After all, he couldn't possibly handle all the strategic thinking himself!
Taking a deep breath, Kong Xuan calmly said, "Although there are no spectators now, the opponents are a natural source of information dissemination."
"If your goal is ultimate victory, it's best to keep some trump cards from now on."
"Knowing the opponent's Spirit and Spirit Ability versus not knowing them, the results of these two Soul Dueling Arena matches could be completely different."
At this point, the three of them already understood Kong Xuan's meaning.
But Xu Wei still asked, "Brother Xuan, what did you mean by not recommending me to make a move?"
Kong Xuan glanced at him: "This opponent is very weak. Any one of you three can solve them alone, but it can't be you who makes the move!"
"I don't understand!"
Xu Wei said with a wronged expression, "Why can't it be me?"
Xu Tianyi interjected at this moment, "Because your strength is too weak!"
Xu Wei immediately puffed out his chest, looked up at Xu Tianyi and said, "How can you say my strength is weak? The most common result when we fight is a draw."
Kong Xuan glanced at Xu Tianyi, unsure if he truly understood his meaning.
However, the Soul Dueling Arena was about to begin, and he didn't have time to ask about these matters.
"Tianyi is right. Saying your strength is weak doesn't mean your true strength is weak, but rather that in the eyes of outsiders, your strength is weak!"
"You searched for information on those opponents yesterday, so others can naturally collect information on us too."
"As a Second Ring Spirit Grandmaster, Ling'er must be a key focus of attention."
"Although Tianyi is only a First Ring, his Spirit is the top-tier Beast Spirit, Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon, so he should also be noticed."
"In comparison, don't you seem much more ordinary?"
Hearing Kong Xuan say this, Xu Wei also had a realization and understood his meaning.
Xu Wei said excitedly, "The opponent won't collect my information, so they won't know my Spirit and Spirit Ability. Brother Xuan not letting me make a move means he wants me to be a trump card?"
Kong Xuan nodded: "But I wonder how many rounds this trump card of yours can be hidden?"
"Have you all finished discussing?!"
The referee teacher's urging voice came from the side.
"We're done discussing!" Kong Xuan replied, then looked at Xu Tianyi and said, "This time, you'll make the move, no problem?"
Xu Tianyi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry!"
Watching the three of them walk down to the Soul Dueling Arena, the referee teacher activated his flying spirit tool and flew to directly above the Soul Dueling Arena.
Looking at the two teams, although his face showed no expression, he already knew the outcome in his heart; the two sides were simply not on the same level.
"Match—start!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, the three opponents instantly activated their Spirit, and three yellow spirit rings rose from beneath their feet.
It seemed that one of the three was a Beast Spirit Master, whose physique clearly enlarged after activating his Spirit.
The other two were Tool Spirit Masters, their Spirits being a sword and a shield, respectively.
On the other side, Kong Ling and Xu Wei stood in place, not even releasing their Spirits, looking like they were watching a show.
Only Xu Tianyi stepped forward, and his Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon instantly attached to him.
"Roar!!!"
A dragon's roar echoed throughout the arena. His right arm was covered in purple-gold dragon scales, and the aura of a top-tier Beast Spirit spread out.
The Beast Spirit Master on the opposite side instantly changed his expression; his Spirit was clearly suppressed slightly.
Just now, he had been somewhat angry because he felt the opponent's disdain, but at this moment, his eyes were filled with solemnity.
Xu Tianyi charged towards the opponent, covering nearly twenty meters in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, his First spirit ring suddenly lit up, and his First Spirit Skill, Dragon Splendor Flash, was directly activated.
In an instant, his figure shot out like a cannonball.
His already fast speed became even faster, so fast that it left an afterimage in the air, and a piercing sound of breaking air even echoed.
Kong Xuan, in the audience, was currently watching the battle below, his Golden Eyes lit up, not missing any detail.
It was the same First Spirit Skill of Xu Tianyi, but now that he used it, it was much faster than when school started last semester.
Before the opponent could react, Xu Tianyi had already rushed in front of them.
The leading Beast Spirit Master's face was blank. He looked at the constantly enlarging dragon claw in front of him as if he was scared silly, actually freezing in place.
At this moment, the referee teacher intervened, directly lifting him up, which saved him from disaster, but also marked his elimination.
In this fleeting moment, having lost his opponent, Xu Tianyi directly flashed to attack the Spirit Master with the shield Spirit not far away.
Perhaps he had a little more time to react, or perhaps this person had stronger psychological fortitude.
In any case, he didn't freeze in place like the previous person. He immediately raised his shield, blocking Xu Tianyi's incoming dragon claw.
"Clang!"
The moment the dragon claw collided with the shield, the shield vibrated violently, the tiger's mouth holding the shield went numb, and the entire person was actually sent flying more than ten meters away, but at least he wasn't instantly killed.
However, this single blow had already made him realize the gap between him and Xu Tianyi, and he had little fighting Spirit left. Almost at the same time Xu Tianyi attacked, the sword Spirit Master on the other side lit up his spirit ring and activated his First Spirit Skill.
The slender longsword was extremely fast, so much so that Xu Tianyi could barely make out its attack trajectory.
But in an instant, he also judged that the opponent's Spirit Ability should have effects of acceleration and concealment.
However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was now evident. Xu Tianyi had higher spirit power, a stronger Spirit, and frequently sparred with Xu Wei, making him experienced against speed-type attacks.
His figure suddenly spun, his left hand precisely gripping the opponent's wrist, and he flung him hard.
"Boom!"
The opponent was slammed heavily onto the ground, letting out a miserable cry.
Facing a non-fatal attack, the referee did not intervene, so this opponent was quite miserable.
Being only a First Ring Tool Spirit Master, he directly lost his combat ability against Xu Tianyi's full-force smash.
Xu Tianyi's First spirit ring lit up again, and his body suddenly vanished from its original spot. This time, his target was the last shield Spirit Master.
Against a claw enhanced by a Spirit Ability, the opponent's shield definitely wouldn't hold up.
Just as the opponent's mind trembled and his eyes showed terror, the referee intervened in time, saving the person.
The referee looked deeply at Xu Tianyi, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Although he had already expected Xu Tianyi and his team to win, he hadn't expected that just one person could achieve such a crushing victory!
Then the referee announced: "Match over, the winner is Xu Tianyi's side!"
Although the two sides did not introduce themselves, as a referee, he naturally already had some information on both sides.
Xu Wei and Kong Ling, who were behind, did not show any excited expressions at this result, as it was an expected victory.
However, Xu Wei looked at Xu Tianyi in front, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
This was a victory he could have achieved too, but now, for the sake of the bigger picture, he could only hand over this opportunity!
Xu Tianyi, however, remained expressionless. When he ran for class monitor, he chose to take on five opponents; if it weren't for the anomaly that was Kong Xuan among them, he would have definitely won.
Now, a one-versus-three was not something worth being proud of for him.
