The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 367 - 181: Eight Battle Axe of the Horizon, Canghai’s Ten Talents_2

"Boom!"

The Muscle Zombie, Renwo Lang, took down a large bull with only three blows and with forceful precision, promptly threw the beast right at his opponent’s Patron.

"Canghai Pavilion - Renwo Kuang wins!"

Xiong Tao’s gaze was steady, most of his attention focused in the north.

Renwo Kuang stood there, his impressive height of around 2.7 meters and muscles that rivaled wild beasts gave off an aggressive aura, even when he was doing something as simple as crossing his arms.

"This kid has caught my fancy. What a Muscle Zombie, what a Strongman!"

Xiong Tao clapped and cheered, his face full of admiration.

Ji Yan, hovering not too far away, merely raised an eyebrow.

The battle had gotten heated, and it was mostly students who had progressed to rank 2 in the past six months engaged in the skirmish.

Tianyafu Residence indeed had quite a few promising seeds, and their average fighting prowess was greater than before.

But at Canghai Pavilion, even without considering people like Li Jingming, Wang Xinfei, Ying Yang, Meng Lina, just the presence of Renwo Kuang on the stage was like an unassailable fortress.

Three E-ranked Patrons, coupled with the modest Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits imbued by the Rainbow Light, didn’t even manage to last twenty moves against him. The quickest amongst them was knocked off his feet by just one punch, instantly determining the victor.

This was indeed... a strong deterrent!

The cheers from Tianyafu residence grew noticeably weaker.

Even when someone else won in other areas, they couldn’t shake off the fear and awe of Renwo Kuang and Renwo Lang.

"Caw, caw, caw!!"

"Boom!!"

To the south, the Pink Ostrich pinned a fat earthworm with a foot on its head, preventing it from moving.

This stirred Xiong Tao’s heart and after taking a glance, he once more announced loudly:

"Canghai Pavilion - Su Mei wins!"

"Huff... Tuotuo, let it go. Spare its life."

Su Mei patted the large ostrich’s head, and it lifted its foot off the worm and retreated two steps.

"You’re not an ordinary ’Knight’, what kind of branch variant are you?!"

The face of the Patron of the giant earthworm was ashen, filled with both unwillingness and despair.

But Su Mei merely smiled at him, shook her green short hair, and the Pink Ostrich came trotting off the stage, busying itself with preening its feathers.

"Are the newcomers of this term going beyond the norm?"

"This unimposing lass getting all fierce in her fightiveness, aiming for the weak spots, not giving her opponent a single chance to recover."

Zhou Yi, the mentor from Tianyafu Residence, sat in a corner, next to him was Zhao Dong, the mentor from Canghai Pavilion.

Zhao Dong, in his prime, had a determined and masculine aura.

His eyes clearly held a stricken expression, but he smiled nonchalantly and said,

"Everyone’s opportunities are different."

"If your Tianyafu Residence batch of students can be considered as promising seeds."

"Then my Canghai Pavilion is a blooming garden, each flower with its own charm."

"Stop trying to catch up to us."

"You can’t become chubby with just one bite. Focus on outdoing the Beacon Tower for the third position, that’s more realistic."

"What’s this all about? The Eight Battle Axe competition hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already planning and strategizing?"

Zhou Yi, clearly familiar with Zhao Dong, snorted at his sage-like demeanor, and unceremoniously said:

"If you ask me, your new Patrons may be strong, but they are still underdeveloped."

"Look at that boy named Ren. If he advances a bit more and stands at the Perfection level of Rainbow Light, he would certainly be a top contender amongst the Ten Talents and will be hard for rank 2 opponents to match."

"But that’s the pity, he’s still too green, and not yet ready to carry Canghai’s big beams."

"As for the girl from the Wang family, she’s not even a concern."

"Her change may be happening, but it would still take two or three years for her Rainbow Light Virtual Intro’s armored horse, paired with a D-ranked Horse Racing Knight, to possibly reach the peak of the second rank, right?"

...

Zhou Yi rambled on, yet Zhao Dong didn’t lose his temper. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yi’s face with an amused smile. Perhaps it was Zhao Dong’s teasing gaze that made Zhou Yi gradually stop talking, showing a displeased expression:

"What, you want to refute me?"

"No no no."

Zhao Dong shook his head, chuckling nervously:

"We’ve been old classmates for so many years, there’s no need to lie to you."

"Here’s a bit of truth: Our Canghai Pavilion newcomers’ strong rise to the Ten Talents list, will not be led by mediocre individuals, will it?"

"I don’t know where your confidence comes from, but I think regardless of the level of the competitions, Tianyafu Residence will only have the possibility to lose, absolutely no chance to win."

With these words, Zhao Dong got up, his voice bold:

"After so many rounds, the field is plenty heated."

"Tan Ziping, how about you take the lead and meet the real young talents of Tianyafu Residence?"

"Yes." Tan Ziping, who had just sat down and hadn’t even warmed his seat, stood up respectfully.

Zhao Dong was a veteran mentor of Canghai Pavilion. Despite not being a star mentor, he was an expert in practice.

His course was very popular and Tan Ziping, who had taken his class before, naturally complied with his will.

"Tap - tap - tap."

The multiple scattered battles across the field came to a halt.

Renwo Kuang, Li Jingming, Su Mei, Wang Xinfei, Meng Lina... they all retreated from the field one after another.

Ying Yang was the only one who left while lying down.

His mouth was too foul, some hot-tempered students from Tianyafu Residence couldn’t take it and had to give him a taste of his own medicine with an all-out brawl.

Not long after, the entire battlefield was cleared.

The scattered beast blood was absorbed into the soil, adding a touch of color to the battlefield.
