“Little Wang Zhong, do you know what kind of spirit beast you are trying to obtain?”
“Do you want me to choose for you!”
Holding Wang Zhong’s hand, Bibi Dong walked ahead, sensing everything around her while asking.
“I had some guesses before, and after verification, I think the spirit beast I need to hunt is the Ghost Tiger.”
Although Bibi Dong was ahead, Wang Zhong was still cautious, carefully observing his surroundings. The Star Dou Great Forest was full of dangers, and no one could claim to fully grasp all the movements around them.
As a Titled Douluo, Bibi Dong was powerful, and her spiritual power detection was sufficiently refined, but some spirit beasts could completely evade spiritual power detection.
For example, a Human-faced Demon Spider over ten thousand years old!
Although a spirit beast of this level would not be Bibi Dong’s opponent, if it suddenly attacked Wang Zhong and Bibi Dong didn’t react in time, and he was also unprepared, he would almost certainly die.
“Ghost Tiger?”
Bibi Dong stopped, her gaze fixed on Wang Zhong, filled with strangeness and doubt.
“Little Wang Zhong, on what grounds have you included this fellow in your spirit ring plans?”
“This shouldn’t be a spirit beast chosen by speed-type or agile-type offensive spirit masters. Your spirit is a tree, and it’s extraordinary, the best spirit for control-type spirit masters.”
“Spirit beasts like spiders, snakes, and plants are most suitable for you! But why did you choose the Ghost Tiger?”
Bibi Dong couldn’t understand or fathom Wang Zhong’s thoughts at this moment.
In response, Wang Zhong showed a big smile, hands on his hips, looking very proud and even a bit showy.
“Hehe, this is a long story.”
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Wang Zhong and tapped his forehead, saying impatiently, “Then make it a short story! Don’t keep me in suspense.”
“Otherwise, I’ll hit you!”
As she spoke, she flicked her slender fingers in the air, indicating she would strike again.
His proud expression shrunk slightly, and Wang Zhong sighed, taking his hands off his hips and saying weakly, “It’s because in the fourth year, five senior students are going to challenge me to a team battle in the second half of the year. For various reasons, after careful consideration, I set my sights on the Ghost Tiger.”
“Fourth-year team battle? Who are the opponents?” Bibi Dong’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. She was very displeased with what Wang Zhong had suddenly mentioned.
There had never been a precedent for fourth-year team battles against lower-grade students, nor were there any school rules to support such actions.
Each fourth-year student was a Spirit Ancestor. In the absence of fifth-year students, they were the strongest combat force among the students in the academy. Coupled with the formation of small teams by multiple individuals, they compensated for their own shortcomings. Throughout the entire campus, apart from students of the same grade and some teachers, fourth-year teams were almost invincible.
Under such invincibility, if they were to add a high-pressure, low-level challenge mode to their team battles, wouldn’t all the academy’s resources go to them?
Even a high-pressure, low-level individual challenge had requirements for the challenged lower-grade students to be invincible against peers and win against higher levels, which could barely ensure fairness in some aspects of the academy.
A high-pressure, low-level team battle completely destroyed this fairness, and any restrictions would be useless. Therefore, Bibi Dong would not allow such a thing to exist.
“Who are they?” Bibi Dong’s tone turned cold. She felt that certain matters within the academy seemed to be beyond her control.
This high-pressure, low-level team battle was the best proof.
For a dictator who believed she controlled everything in the academy, it was a great provocation!
Someone dared to openly violate the rules she had set!
“I don’t know!”
However, what Wang Zhong said with his hands spread apart made Bibi Dong’s eyebrows twitch violently.
“You don’t even know the names of the challengers!”
“You dared to agree to this so casually?”
This time, she was truly shocked.
How big was Wang Zhong’s heart? Was he foolish, or was he overly arrogant? He readily accepted such a challenge without knowing the details?
Regardless of whether there were any traps or schemes, or even the strength of the opponents, as long as you dared to speak, he would accept!
I fear nothing!
The thought of this possibility made Bibi Dong feel an urge to touch her forehead. Her gaze at Wang Zhong was filled with strangeness and a headache. She even had doubts about whether her earlier thought of taking Wang Zhong as a disciple had been too impulsive.
When there are no troubles, Wang Zhong is the biggest trouble!
“What’s there to not dare!”
“Lu Xiaoshuang was also a Spirit Ancestor, and I still defeated him! Those four girls and one boy, a group of five, are just relying on their numbers. Once I level this out, victory will still be mine!”
Wang Zhong’s tone was firm, and he didn’t take the so-called team battle too seriously. Once his third spirit ring obtained the Wood Clone as he expected, let alone a team of five, he could even fight against a team of ten or a hundred.
The prerequisite was that his spirit power was sufficient.
“Four girls and one boy,” this description suddenly made Bibi Dong understand. The challengers were the strongest team in the fourth year, the five who had maintained a perfect winning record in countless team battles.
Individually, their strength was not top-tier, only upper-middle. But when the five of them were together, even against Ying Yanyang, they could maintain at least a seventy percent win rate!
Five hearts united, four spirit rings working in unison, five-person four-ring spirit skill fusion, truly unimaginably powerful!
“It’s them, then a high-pressure, low-level team battle is indeed feasible.”
Five hearts united, five in one!
This was the highest evaluation given to this five-person team by the previous Pope, Qian Xunji. It was precisely because of this evaluation that in the Spirit Hall Academy, these five were often regarded as a special 'person'.
The challenge they posed to Wang Zhong, which seemed like a team battle, was actually a high-pressure, low-level individual battle!
And the reason for all this was the evaluation given by the previous Pope, Qian Xunji.
But even Bibi Dong had to admit that this evaluation was not a false compliment.
Brilliant, truly brilliant. The spirit skill fusion technique of those five could be called an artistic masterpiece.
Thinking of those five, Bibi Dong felt that this challenge match would be very interesting, and Wang Zhong would undoubtedly lose.
But she did not intend to remind him. If these five could give Wang Zhong a crushing defeat and suppress his arrogant arrogance, it might not be a bad thing.
“Is that so? You think you can win against them after defeating one Spirit Ancestor.”
“Let me tell you, among those five, one of them is a Spirit King!”
“And the others are all at the peak of level forty-nine, on the verge of breaking through at any moment.”
Bibi Dong had a mischievous smile on her face, looking at Wang Zhong with ill intent. As expected, when she said this, his little face immediately fell.
“Spirit King! Isn’t that a fifth-year student!” Wang Zhong cried out subconsciously.
“Who told you that a Spirit King must be a fifth-year student.”
“In Spirit Hall Academy, before the age of twenty-five, you can enter a certain grade upon breaking through to that level. However, for the fifth grade, if you don’t break through to the Spirit King realm before the age of twenty, you simply cannot enter.”
“And after the age of twenty-five, regardless of your strength, you must graduate from school! And enter the various branches of Spirit Hall to handle various affairs.”
“That person, although she broke through to Spirit King, unfortunately, she’s a year older! Otherwise, I could have taken her as my disciple.”
Bibi Dong chuckled wickedly, feigning regret, and sighed.
Yes, the homeroom teacher for the fifth grade was the Pope, Bibi Dong!
And the fifth grade was an extra grade she had specifically set up to accept an outstanding disciple!
