Chapter 1002: Battle Tactics Genius
Translator: Lordbluefire
Li Ziqi was surrounded by densely-packed lightning balls that were like satellites, circling around her and spinning in an irregular manner.
Zhao Lei’s eyelids kept on twitching upon seeing this, her scalp a little numb.
How was she going to fight like this?
Moreover, that tortoise shell didn’t look like it was easy to deal with either.
She couldn’t possibly raise objections to the judge, saying that Li Ziqi had violated the rules by using spirit runes, could she?
If she did, wouldn’t it show that she had no way of dealing with this?
Zhao Lei had her pride. Her opponent and she had an age difference of ten years. Therefore, no matter what ans the other party used, she should win this without a doubt.
Zhao Lei felt too embarrassed to raise her objections, but the judge wasn’t going to allow this situation to happen.
“Weapons that are too powerful, as well as supporting equipnt, aren’t allowed to be used during battles. This is to ensure fairness.”
The judge reiterated.
“I didn’t buy these. These are what I’ve saved over ti.”
Li Ziqi explained.
“If you don’t believe , you can get a spirit runist to verify it. These are all drawn by .”
The judge nodded. If these were what the examinees had created based on their knowledge, then they could be used during the competition. That included weapons, alchemical pills, spirit runes, puppets, and others.
“Do you need to call for a check?”
The judge asked Zhao Lei.
He had no doubt about this. Even the examiners knew that Li Ziqi had shown exemplary performance during her spirit runes classes. She was a genius that even the 7-stars great teacher Tong Xugao held great admiration for.
“No need!”
Zhao Lei shook her head.
“Then the competition will continue!”
The judge indicated that they could start the fight.
“You can attack first!”
Zhao Lei gave way to Li Ziqi.
“There’s no need to hold back. You can attack first!”
Li Ziqi thought. (I want to do that, but I’m scared that I’ll end up falling midway while running over. All my efforts will go to waste then.)
The two of them entered a deadlock situation.
However, at this mont, the summoning was completed. The Ma Qianzu that the little sunny egg had caught in the darkness ruins appeared in the arena.
“You’re a spirit controller too?”
Zhao Lei was surprised.
She couldn’t let her guard down anymore.
After all, more than 90% of a spirit controller’s battle prowess was on their battle pets.
“I shouldn’t have been so modest earlier!”
Zhao Lei felt a little regretful.
This battle pet was in the form of a middle-aged human. However, it only had its upper body. Its lower body was a wisp of fog...
(Hold on, what the hell is with your appearance, with you dressing in rags and not even holding a single weapon? You look more like a starved fugitive than a ferocious general!)
“Tai! Take my ultimate attack!”
Ma Qianzu bellowed like he was singing opera, making a few movents while keeping up a solemn expression. Then, his two wrists hit together, pushing toward Zhao Lei.
Kahaha!
Zhao Lei didn’t dare to let her guard down and imdiately took a few steps back, drawing her distance away. She then beca fully focused.
A person’s reputation was extrely important, just like a tree’s shadows. Given how Li Ziqi had done so well in her written examination, she wouldn’t be bad in her martial examination either. Moreover, with her double identities as the Great Tang’s princess and Sun Mo’s eldest disciple, she must have learned peerless-grade spiritual beast cultivation arts. The spiritual beast she used must also be a peak-grade one that others had caught for her.
(These damned rich people!)
However, the powerful attack she was expecting didn’t co. Instead...
Pffft!
Ma Qianzu released a fart with a loud sound!
“Hmm?”
Everyone was stunned. What the hell was this?
However, at this mont, Li Ziqi took the opportunity when Ma Qianzu had gotten Zhao Lei’s attention to complete the Wind Spirit Summoning.
Two wind elents appeared in the arena.
They were in a three-ter-tall typhoon form.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The wind elents kept on spinning, then started to shoot out many wind blades that were in the shape of crescents.
“Spectators, please be careful and not get hurt by mistake!”
The judge quickly called out.
Zhao Lei quickly swung her sword to block. Her countenance then turned very grim. It was because those wind blades were exceptionally sharp. When they hit her blade, they imdiately created chips.
Sigh!
There was no helping it. She ca from a poor family and couldn’t afford to buy a good weapon. The longsword she used was just an ordinary one that cost several hundred taels.
Watching as more and more chips appeared on the longsword, Zhao Lei didn’t dare to hesitate any longer and dashed out toward Li Ziqi.
Ma Qianzu imdiately darted out in front of Li Ziqi, flicking one finger at Zhao Lei!
Dead Demon Consuming Seal!
“F*ck!”
Zhao Lei’s scalp turned numb and uncontrollably cursed out.
Ma Qianzu was in the form of a soul to begin with. Right now, he had his eyes opened in rage, performing his ultimate technique. He looked really scary.
Moreover, the na of this ultimate technique sounded very terrifying too!
Almost instinctively, Zhao Lei chose to dodge the attack.
Another two wind elents were summoned.
With that, the arena was filled with flying and spinning wind blades that surrounded and attacked Zhao Lei.
She could hold off against them for a while, but the longsword in her hand couldn’t. The sword shattered and she was put in an even worse condition without her weapon.
“Hmmm? Is Ma Qianzu so amazing?”
Lu Zhiruo started.
If she didn’t rember wrongly, he was just trash that couldn’t even compare to her spirit qi roaming dragon that only knew to eat grass.
“He’s acting!”
Qin Yaoguang explained in a soft voice.
“Huh?”
The papaya girl was stunned. This worked too?
“...”
Even Sun Mo was stunned. He didn’t expect his eldest disciple to have thought of such a battle tactic.
The insufficient battle prowess was compensated for with acting skills!
Ma Qianzu, who looked like a ruffian and only knew how to bootlick, had really good acting skills. If it wasn’t because Sun Mo was all too familiar with the nas of those two techniques, he’d have been given a fright too.
Sun Mo’s disciples were aware that he was the author of “Journey to the West”. Everyone liked this book but didn’t dare to ask him to continue writing the story.
However, the papaya girl was an exception. She rely looked at Sun Mo with her big and watery eyes that were filled with respect, and he gave in. He then shared stories after stories with all his students.
The Romance of Three Kingdoms didn’t receive a good response. After all, power struggles and brilliant sches required too much brain power and the papaya girl didn’t like those.
Sun Mo had no choice but to talk about Dragon Ball. Its storyline was simple and there weren’t any tough terms. The main character was still Sun Wukong, and it was easy to understand.
The papaya girl felt that Yamcha was too pitiful and so had requested for additional scenes to be given to them. Sun Mo had no choice but to add in so great techniques that were similar to Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Of course, the little sunny egg had listened to the entire story and even rembered them.
Sun Mo didn’t expect her to use them here.
Zhao Lei didn’t see Ma Qianzu’s attack, and she didn’t have any doubts about it while she let out a relieved sigh, thinking that she had dodged quickly enough and the other party had lost a chance to attack.
“What should I do now?”
Zhao Lei wanted to charge forth forcibly again, but with two wind elents blocking her way and Ma Qianzu roaming around on the outside, keeping an eye on her, she had no chance at all.
In the ti she hesitated, another two wind elents were summoned.
Zhao Lei had lost her chance completely.
If she didn’t want to be beheaded by those crescent wind blades, she could only get off the arena and forfeit the match.
“Sister Zhao, give up. If we continue fighting, you’ll die!” Li Ziqi persuaded, “Moreover, I haven’t used my trump card yet.”
Looking at the protective shields Li Ziqi had on her, Zhao Lei took in a deep breath and then gave up.
“I admit defeat!”
“Oh yay! Eldest Martial Sister has won!”
Lu Zhiruo cheered happily.
The judge threw a glance at Ma Qianzu and sized up Li Ziqi, breaking into an understanding smile.
After all, he was an expert at the Divine Force Realm and could naturally sense that the spirit qi waves on Ma Qianzu weren’t great. Usually, when one’s ultimate technique erupted, they’d be accompanied by a trendous amount of spirit qi waves.
However, Zhao Lei was young and inexperienced. It was understandable that she couldn’t tell this.
Li Ziqi got off the arena and imdiately reported the good news to Sun Mo.
“Teacher, I’ve won!”
“Well done!”
Sun Mo praised.
“Hehe!”
Li Ziqi grinned happily. However, she then broke into a bitter expression. “But it’s a pity that it’s all a lie. It won’t work in the long run.”
“Who said so? You can continue to perfect and evolve your battle tactic!”
Sun Mo encouraged her. “Moreover, you’ve already unleashed all of your advantages. Those two wind elents had been summoned very quickly and you did a good job!”
“That’s right. To think that you can summon two of them at once. Eldest Martial Sister, how did you do that?”
Lu Zhiruo was curious.
She had learned this summoning incantation too. The pronunciation was extrely difficult and she always bit her tongue when trying to read it. Therefore, she gave up on it. She still preferred spiritual beasts that could jump out by themselves.
“I changed so details to the incantation!”
Li Ziqi explained.
“Huh? This can be done?”
Lu Zhiruo was astonished.
“These incantations were invented by other people. As long as we understand the principles behind how they work, we’ll be able to and them.”
Li Ziqi explained.
Qin Yaoguang let out ‘tsk tsk’ sounds, feeling very surprised.
(Eldest Martial Sister’s physical skills are too weak, but her brains and learning abilities are far too powerful.)
Just her speed and accuracy in reading incantations would crush many adult spirit controllers.
“You’ll be a 1-star great teacher after winning one more round. You’ll be breaking the record!”
Lu Zhiruo seed to share her glory, feeling happier than Li Ziqi.
“Teacher Zhao!”
Sun Mo called out.
Zhao Lei, who was wearing a cold expression, quickly took her emotions in check after hearing this. She then squeezed out a smile.
“Teacher Sun!”
As an intern teacher, she didn’t have the right to be addressed as such by Sun Mo.
“You have too little combat experience. After you go back, you must practice more. Otherwise, you might still end up getting stopped at this stage next year.”
Sun Mo suggested.
“En!”
Zhao Lei nodded.
“You have a thin figure and are suited for agility-type cultivation arts. I have a Cloud Movent Art here. Do you want to learn it?”
Zhao Lei had a diocre aptitude. The reason Sun Mo was so generous was because she was the opponent the little sunny egg had defeated.
“Is... is that alright?”
Zhao Lei stuttered a little.
She knew about the Cloud Movent Art. It was a superior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art that was very valuable.
“Calm your mind!”
Sun Mo prepared himself and then struck the cultivation art’s important points into her brain.
“Hope that you’ll be successful next year.”
Sun Mo smiled. “Oh right, the Central Province Academy has a darkness building called the illusion dojo that can allow one to fight against various experts in history. If you’re interested, you can co and check it out.”
“I’ll definitely go!”
Zhao Lei felt agitated and contributed 3000 favorable impression points.
She suddenly felt that her failing of this examination wasn’t that hard to accept anymore. She even hoped to go through it a few more tis. Wouldn’t she be able to learn a few more amazing cultivation arts then?
“I feel that Teacher is going to beco a master salesperson.”
The sickly guy teased.
It probably wouldn’t be long before their teacher’s generosity spread through the entire great teacher world.
After all, there weren’t that many prodigals who’d readily give out heaven-tier cultivation arts so easily.
Even though the competitions would be completed in one day, to ensure fairness, each examinee would have one round in the morning and afternoon respectively. This would assure that they got sufficient ti to rest.
In the afternoon, Li Ziqi got up to et her second opponent.
