The match between Tianshui Academy and Elephant Armor Academy ended too quickly, lasting less than a minute from start to finish, which meant that the matches on the other four arenas hadn't even concluded their previous rounds yet.
As for the other spectators, they simply felt they hadn't seen enough.
And as the battle concluded, the next match began.
It was Heaven Dou Academy versus Thunder Academy.
Thunder Academy's strength ranked among the top three even within the Five Great Element Academies, boasting four Spirit Ancestor powerhouses.
Therefore, the member Heaven Dou Academy sent out was Dugu Yan.
When Dugu Yan appeared, the entire Great Spirit Arena erupted with a thunderous roar.
On Thunder Academy's side, the seven individuals led by Yu Tianxin also wore extremely solemn expressions.
If it were any other Spirit King, they would have absolute confidence in victory.
But they dared not underestimate the Spirit King from the Heaven Dou Team in the slightest.
Although this was Dugu Yan's second time on stage, in the previous battle with Shrek Academy, Yu Tianheng hadn't forced out her full combat strength, so no one knew how strong she truly was.
What if she was like Xiao Wu...
Then they would have no chance of winning at all.
On the VIP platform, Dugu Bo's face also revealed a proud smile as he watched Dugu Yan enter the arena.
He had rushed over today because he knew his precious granddaughter had a match.
The last time he watched a match was at the opening ceremony.
The three deans of Heaven Dou Academy sat beside Dugu Bo, and Meng Shenji smiled and said, "Your Excellency Dugu, you have a truly outstanding granddaughter. One can imagine that Student Dugu will surely become a Titled Douluo in the near future, truly surpassing her master."
Bai Baoshan also chuckled like a Maitreya Buddha, saying, "At that time, the Dugu family will have two Douluo, which will surely shake the entire continent."
Listening to their compliments, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh aloud, his face full of smugness.
Around them, the others also secretly envied him.
Why didn't they have such an excellent granddaughter?
Was it really true that a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix?
As everyone discussed, on the arena, at the referee's command, both sides released their Spirits.
Facing Thunder Academy, Dugu Yan dared not be careless and also released her Spirit.
There was nothing she could do; although she was also a Spirit King, she was only at level 52.
Moreover, she wasn't like Xiao Wu, who had been constantly buffed by Qi Lin's first Spirit Ability since childhood, not to mention her incredibly powerful control over spirit power.
Dugu Yan had only been training her spirit power control for less than a year, at most.
If she didn't release her Spirit or use Spirit Abilities, she might truly suffer an unexpected defeat and be beaten by Thunder Academy.
After Spirit possession, Dugu Yan's body immediately showed a layer of emerald green scales that extended all the way to her neck.
An invisible, terrifying pressure emanated from her entire being.
As this pressure erupted, Yu Tianxin's expression on the opposite side changed slightly.
This pressure actually made him feel a hint of fear.
This was the oppressive feeling of a superior Spirit over an inferior Spirit, but it was precisely for this reason that Yu Tianxin felt shocked.
Shouldn't Dugu Yan's Spirit be the Bi Lin Snake?
Why would it make him feel such a powerful oppressive force?
Before Yu Tianxin could think further, the battle was already on the verge of breaking out.
Dugu Yan using Spirit Abilities and Dugu Yan not using Spirit Abilities were two completely different extremes.
One must know, before his Spirit evolved, why did Dugu Bo make various forces wary? Wasn't it because of his powerful crowd-clearing ability?
Although Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had high poison resistance, his Spirit was suppressed by Dugu Yan, and their spirit power also differed greatly.
In addition, Thunder Academy had a huge drawback.
Although Thunder Academy's burst capability was among the best in the Five Great Element Academies, there was no Auxiliary Soul Master in their team who could detoxify.
Encountering Dugu Yan in this situation would truly be a tragedy!
With Spirit possession, five spirit rings immediately spiraled up from Dugu Yan's feet.
Yu Tianxin was quick to react and immediately said, "Dugu Yan is skilled in poison arts; we cannot give her a chance to use them. We must finish this quickly."
Spirit Masters all have poison resistance, and it takes some time for ordinary toxins to invade the body.
Yu Tianxin naturally understood this point, so he planned for a quick decisive battle.
The Spirits of the Thunder Team members were all lightning-attributed, with extremely high burst damage. With all seven of them attacking together, even a Spirit King couldn't withstand it.
Yu Tianxin showed Dugu Yan full respect and immediately used Dragon Transformation, with lightning coiling around his entire body.
Third Spirit Ability, Wrath of Thunder!
Fourth Spirit Ability, Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Dash!
Dozens of meteors shot out, and blue lightning dragons bared their fangs and claws, shooting towards Dugu Yan.
The other members of the Thunder Team also unleashed their respective Spirit Abilities, all at once, aiming to end the battle as quickly as possible.
However, facing their offensive, Dugu Yan showed no sign of panic.
With the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Steps activated, Dugu Yan's figure was like an emerald green afterimage, like a ghost, weaving through the dazzling Spirit Ability lightning, easily dodging most of the attacks.
Yu Tianxin's Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Dash was a group attack, and its offensive was very dense. Even Dugu Yan couldn't completely dodge it.
But even so, the few remaining unavoidable attacks were already insignificant in front of Dugu Yan. With a casual wave of her hand, she dispersed them, and then her third spirit ring flashed.
Third Spirit Ability, Bi Lin Purple Poison!
Dugu Yan spat out a cloud of purple poisonous mist, which rapidly spread out from her as the center.
This was Dugu Yan's third Spirit Ability. The purple mist contained extremely terrifying toxins that could turn those who touched it into pus in a short amount of time.
Yu Tianxin noticed the toxins surging towards them, and his face changed dramatically.
"Below level 40, jump off the arena immediately!"
A Spirit King's poison arts, even a slight touch, were enough to kill a Spirit Elder.
It concerned life and death, so there was no room for carelessness.
Upon hearing Yu Tianxin's shout, the three members of Thunder Academy who had not yet broken through to Spirit Ancestor immediately jumped off the arena.
As for Yu Tianxin and the other three, they were still unwilling to give up and thought of making a final stand.
Watching the purple mist spread, the four retreated while shouting in low voices.
"Use long-range attacks!"
"Alright!"
Yu Tianxin took a deep breath, and while retreating, he once again released the Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Dash.
Dozens of lightning dragons broke through the purple mist and continued to shoot towards Dugu Yan. The other three also launched their attacks simultaneously.
However, they still gained nothing.
And the three were already unavoidable, forced to the edge of the arena by the poisonous mist.
Yu Tianxin gave a bitter smile, but in the end, he could only helplessly jump off the arena.
There was nothing he could do; even he dared not easily touch this poisonous mist.
This was the charm of a poison-attribute Spirit Master, a weakling reaper.
Dugu Yan easily won.
