With Ning Rongrong's amplification, Wu Qi's speed far surpassed Wang Liang's.
Even without using a Spirit Skill, his excellent combat instincts and adaptability allowed him to neutralize his opponent's attacks with ease.
Wang Liang frowned.
At this moment, he no longer felt this was merely a practice match.
Wu Qi's adaptability and strength were enough to make him take the battle seriously.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this way." Wang Liang chuckled softly, his gaze sharpening.
Ever since the last Spirit Master Tournament ended, he had rarely encountered an opponent worthy of his full attention.
Today, these veterans would go all out one more time.
"Second Spirit Skill, Flame Curtain!"
Seizing the opportunity, Huo Wu created a wall of flames out of thin air, restricting Wang Liang's movement space.
Looking across the battlefield, Wu Qi was undoubtedly the best breakthrough point.
As long as Wang Liang was defeated, the enemy team's offensive pressure would drop significantly, allowing them to pressure the rest of the opponents.
The tactical system of Emperor Team Two revolved entirely around Wu Qi as the core.
The moment Huo Wu made her move, the rest of the team instinctively shifted closer toward Wu Qi.
A mature battle team not only needed multiple tactical systems, but also the ability to quickly analyze opponents during battle.
He Liang, the control-system Spirit Master on the opposing side, quickly realized Emperor Team Two's tactical structure and immediately shifted the focus of his attacks onto Wu Qi.
At the same time, Wang Li, who had been protecting the rear line, moved forward to take over Aguda's position.
"Second Spirit Skill, Evergreen Vine Barrier!"
Thick vines suddenly emerged from the ground, weaving together into a massive net that descended toward Wu Qi.
Huo Wu sneered. "Flames are the natural enemy of plant-type Spirit Masters!"
She spread her arms as the Fire Shadow Spirit appeared behind her. Using her spirit power, she created a sea of flames above Wu Qi's head.
Thanks to his body tempering from ice and fire, Wu Qi was immune to flames from Spirit Masters of the same level. Huo Wu's Spirit Skills could not harm him.
With Huo Wu handling He Liang's attacks, Wu Qi could focus entirely on combat.
He moved effortlessly through the walls of flame, continuously suppressing Wang Liang.
"Damn it." He Liang clicked his tongue.
For plant-type Spirit Masters, fire was the ultimate counter.
Relying on himself alone to suppress Wu Qi was completely unrealistic.
At the same time, Emperor Team Two's teamwork looked nothing like that of a newly formed squad.
"Captain!"
With only a glance, Aguda immediately understood his intention.
As Wang Li advanced, Aguda swiftly shifted battlefields.
Wang Liang did not recklessly force his way through the wall of flames. Instead, he retreated back to the ground, regrouped with Aguda, and changed targets.
In the distance, Zhi Lin silently observed the battle and could not help but praise them.
"Aguda and the others haven't declined at all. If anything, because they cherish this opportunity to spar, their teamwork has become even better."
"But what exactly is Old Sun thinking? Throwing Emperor Team Two against such a team right away?"
In his opinion, the captain and vice-captain arrangement of Emperor Team Two was clearly flawed and immature.
Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian were the captain and vice-captain, but both were frontline combatants. Against troublesome opponents, they simply could not spare the attention needed to command the team.
Huo Wu was still somewhat inexperienced and lacked proper battlefield awareness, making her unsuitable as the team's commander.
From the current situation, Emperor Team Two still had plenty of room for improvement. Their top priority was solving the issue of battlefield command.
Of course, he had not paid enough attention to Emperor Team Two before, so he did not fully understand their internal role distribution.
Wu Qi knew he could not split himself into three people, so he had already planned everything before the match began.
He was the absolute core of the team, and everyone else's actions in battle were meant to support him.
Wang Li's suppressive ability was inferior to Aguda's. After Huo Wushuang activated his Third Spirit Skill, he alone was enough to hold Wang Li back.
Changkong broke free from his entanglement and quickly moved to Wu Qi's side. The two adopted crossing positions and attacked the enemy from both flanks.
Both sides understood that the clash between the two captains would directly determine the outcome of the match.
The coordination between Wu Qi and Changkong was no weaker than their opponents'!
Although there was a gap in strength, the enemy team could not defeat them in a short amount of time.
As the battle dragged on, the advantage of having a support-system Spirit Master became increasingly apparent.
Ning Rongrong activated her Third Spirit Skill, restoring a large amount of spirit power to Wu Qi and the others, ensuring they would not lose from exhaustion.
About fifteen minutes later, neither side had managed to determine a victor when Sun Buyu suddenly blew his whistle, stopping the match.
At this point, victory or defeat was no longer important.
Among Team Emperor Fight Two, Chen Ping still lacked coordination with the others. After all, this was only his first day with the team. The fact that he had already figured out his role was impressive enough.
As for the rest, their tactical coordination and chained teamwork far exceeded Sun Buyu's expectations.
More importantly, Wu Qi and the others had displayed exceptional combat ability despite facing opponents whose spirit power Levels were generally higher than their own. Simply holding the battle evenly this long was already beyond expectations.
If the fight dragged on any longer, the older team with its advantage in age and strength would inevitably win, and that would not benefit the development of Team Emperor Fight Two.
After the match, Aguda burst into laughter.
"That was satisfying. It's been a long time since I've faced opponents this capable."
As he spoke, he cupped his fists toward Sun Buyu.
"Teacher Sun, with the team's current strength, Team Emperor Fight Two will definitely have no problem reaching the finals stage."
"If we compare them to the teams from the previous Spirit Master Tournament, then with their current strength, they could already win at least one match in the finals."
It should be remembered that Team Emperor Fight Two had only been fully assembled today.
The opponents Aguda was comparing them to were all mature teams from the previous tournament.
And with more than a year, nearly two years, remaining before the next Spirit Master Tournament, even Aguda could not imagine how far this team would grow by then.
Aguda and the others were instructors at the academy and still had afternoon classes to teach.
After exchanging a few polite words, they took their leave.
At that moment, the Spirit Douluo Zhilin walked over with a smile.
"Very good. The team's large-scale coordination still has room for improvement, but the smaller coordinated plays between members have already been polished to an exceptional level."
"It's hard to imagine how far you'll go in the Spirit Master Tournament once your overall teamwork fully matures."
For a moment, Zhilin even found himself looking forward to the scene of both Emperor Fight teams advancing together into the final championship rounds.
Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian exchanged glances, faint smiles appearing on their faces.
During the sparring match, the senior students had fought seriously without holding back at all.
Meanwhile, neither Wu Qi nor Feng Xiaotian had even used their self-created Spirit abilities yet.
Sun Buyu's evaluation had been based only on what had been shown during the battle.
If the two of them had used their self-created techniques, the outcome would have been difficult to predict.
Not to mention that they still possessed their ultimate trump cards.
Zhilin pulled Sun Buyu aside and carefully explained several suggestions for improving the team.
Afterward, Sun Buyu sought out Wu Qi to discuss the matter.
Neither of them believed there was any issue with the team's command structure.
In the previous sparring match, the senior students had attacked with full force. If Wu Qi had not personally stepped in to meet them head-on, the front line would have collapsed immediately.
Naturally, both sides would then have fallen into a state without battlefield command, but Team Emperor Fight Two clearly possessed superior coordination between teammates.
Under normal circumstances, Wu Qi would occupy the central position on the battlefield and would not be under that much pressure. Commanding the team's movements would not be a problem at all.
