This was the first time Tang San had truly enjoyed such widespread attention. A hint of arrogance was displayed unreservedly on his face as he looked across the arena. However, this was a competition, and in a place equivalent to a battlefield, being dazed was a major taboo. Even if the opponents from Zuan Academy were stunned by Tang San's four spirit rings, the members of the Lanba Battle Team certainly weren't. In terms of actual combat experience, the Zuan Team couldn't even compare to the training Tang San had undergone.
At this moment, Tang San's smile was almost uncontrollable as he saw the opening. He shouted a command loudly, and while their opponents were still in a daze, the seven members of the Lanba Battle Team launched their attack. Tai Long led the charge, his muscles bulging with power. Alongside Cao Zhan and Cao Kui, he rushed directly at the front line. Meanwhile, Huang Yuan and Jing Ling simultaneously flanked the sides to pick off targets.
Behind Tang San, Jiang Zhu held a peculiar staff carved with strange inscriptions. Her three spirit rings flickered with light as she waved the staff, plunging it into the ground in front of her. A circle of orange-yellow light quietly spread out across the floor. It wasn't until Tai Long and the others were mid-charge that the Zuan Academy team finally reacted.
"What are you staring at? Attack!" the petite male control system Spirit Master shouted angrily.
The five people at the front of the Zuan Academy team were all attack system Spirit Masters with Spirits of the Lion, Bear, Tiger, Leopard, and Wolf. The impact force of this combination was naturally very powerful. They immediately responded to their captain's shout and fiercely charged toward Tai Long's group. In their minds, even though Tang San was a Level 40 Spirit Ancestor, they still had the advantage in numbers. They noted that Tang San's first spirit ring was only white, so they assumed his true strength might not be much higher than theirs.
Since Tang San hadn't made a move yet, and their five members were all at Level 35 or above, they believed they wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Their strategy was simple: defeat the three main front-line players first to secure a victory. Tai Long roared to the sky as the distance closed. Just as he was about to collide with the enemy, his spirit power was released without reservation. His three spirit rings activated, and he transformed into a ferocious ape.
The brothers Cao Kui and Cao Zhan also unleashed their Spirits with all their might. Their third spirit rings lit up as they activated their third Spirit Ability: Hegemon of the World. This ability increased their defense and attack by 50%, and they could maintain it as long as their spirit power lasted. It was a bold move to use such high-consumption thousand-year Spirit Abilities right at the start, but this was the tactic Tang San had devised.
While the front line engaged, a rich dark light floated around Tang San. He didn't even give the opponent's control system Spirit Master a chance to act. He instantly activated his fourth Spirit Ability: Blue Silver Prison. Without any warning, over a hundred dark strands of Blue Silver Grass surged from beneath the ground, transforming into five sturdy prisons that trapped the five front-line attackers.
"Group control!" some Spirit Masters in the audience shouted in surprise. Group control was the most threatening ability a control system Spirit Master could have in a team battle. The five attackers from Zuan Academy crashed into the hard Blue Silver Prison walls and were immediately disoriented. It was impossible to break through with mere physical momentum.
Tang San also used the prison to block the vision of the control system captain and the support system girl behind them. While they could still use their Spirit Abilities, they couldn't see how to assist their teammates. The Blue Silver Prisons appeared for only an instant to halt the enemy's momentum before disappearing, but the black grass had already swept up to bind the opponents' feet.
Tai Long seized the opportunity while his opponent struggled in the grass. He grabbed the bound enemy, lifted him high, and slammed him heavily to the ground. Meanwhile, Cao Kui and Cao Zhan treated their opponents like sandbags, pouring out a torrential storm of attacks.
Jing Ling arrived in front of the petite control system Spirit Master. As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, his speed was astonishing. His body grew as he moved, transforming into a massive, terrifying skeleton. His hands became bone blades, and he activated his third Spirit Ability: Berserk. This increased his attack speed and power by 50%.
The petite man's Spirit was a pair of rings, but he had no time to activate his advanced control abilities while being restricted by Tang San. He was forced to use his first and second Spirit Abilities just to block the bone blades. Loud screams rang out across the arena. Jing Ling was vicious in combat, and with Tang San's cooperation, his attack power was fully unleashed. The opponent's rings couldn't keep up with his speed, and he quickly gained the upper hand.
As for the five attack system Spirit Masters, though they were tough, they were facing three individuals who were even tougher.
"Haha, I told you that with the strength of our Lanba Battle Team, defeating the opponent would be easy!" somewhere in the stands, Yu Xiaogang embraced Liu Erlong. He laughed freely and lavished praise upon his disciple, Tang San.
