```The overwhelmingly dominant purple-gold color filled her vision almost instantly. The Sea of Spirit, as if struck by a heavy hammer, trembled violently, sealing the melodious song in her throat. Her figure wavered, and the green flame around her broke apart, even the Demon God Transformation seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
Standing beside Zhang Haoxuan, Si Ru's eyes widened instantly. What he saw were the two foot-long purple-gold light beams bursting from Tang San's eyes.
Such immense Spiritual Power!
The Golden Wing Cloak Slash had reached Mu Yunyu in an instant. Now without the protection of the green flame and her transformation faltering, Teacher Mu, who had just returned to her normal form, was about to be cloven by the golden slash.
Cheng Zicheng, spinning, shifted her figure to the side, dodging past Mu Yunyu's body, then steadied herself. With a flap of the wings on her back, she shimmered with golden light and appeared behind Mu Yunyu, catching her in midair. Then, with a twist of her waist, she flung the slightly recovered Mu Yunyu towards Zhang Haoxuan's position.
At the same time, the large number of wind blades Tang San had condensed a second time had already found their target in Mu Enqing.
Even though Mu Enqing was battling Gu Li, he remained vigilant of the whole scenario. When the cry of the Qing Luan resonated, he even thought the overall situation was settled, but in the next instant, the battle situation changed dramatically.
It wasn't that he didn't want to rescue her, but Gu Li was too difficult to handle. The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique made each strike of his Tail Hammer heavier than the last. Moreover, the Sixth Stage Time Variation Seal had evolved to the point where it was exceedingly difficult to deal with. The fluctuating speed of time left no breathing room. Mu Enqing's Power Ape Transformation felt utterly helpless, relying solely on his strong defensive power to continually endure Gu Li's assaults.
He knew that Gu Li's simultaneous use of Time Variation Seal and continuous attacks was a temporary burst of power that would not last. However, it was during this short-lived burst that Mu Yunyu had already been forced out of the combat zone.
On the other side, the shock Guan Longjiang felt was even greater than his. The reason was simple: facing the student he personally trained, he was now being suppressed.
Indeed, Wu Bingji was not just entangling Guan Longjiang; he was overpowering him.
Ice needles, it was the ice needles, those strangely shaped ice needles, with second acceleration, explosion, piercing, and Mother-child Soul Chasing.
Moreover, the ice attribute at this moment completely countered the water element. Every time Guan Longjiang launched a counterattack, Wu Bingji's ice needles would freeze his strikes, at the very least partially. Then came an Ice Blast. Not to mention whether the Ice Blast could harm him, just the way it disrupted Guan Longjiang's offensive flow made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Among the sounds of ice exploding and those clearly piercing ice needles that could penetrate his defenses, Guan Longjiang felt almost frantic.
The swift defeat of Mu Yunyu within such a short time cast a gloom over Guan Longjiang's heart, and for the first time, he harbored thoughts that they might lose.
And in the next moment, his thought became reality.
Gu Li's burst of strength lasted even longer than Mu Enqing had anticipated. A year of cultivating the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique, especially when combined with his own Time Variation Seal, had notably advanced his prowess. Although he hadn't broken through the Seventh Stage, Gu Li was now fully capable of unleashing the might of his Level 2 Bloodline.
Moreover, there were the wind blades coming from all directions and the Golden Wing Cloak Slash striking from behind.
Tang San's wind blades and Cheng Zicheng's Golden Wing Cloak Slash were abilities powerful enough to breach defenses!
In such an onslaught, Mu Enqing couldn't hold on for long. Three seconds later, he was hammered into staggering by Gu Li, and then the attacks of all three combatants reached the critical points of his body.
Purple-gold light flickered in Tang San's eyes as he turned his head toward Guan Longjiang's direction.
Guan Longjiang's Sea of Spirit instantly ached intensely, the concentrated water element dissipated, and the cold gleam of ice needles loomed merely inches away.
The battle ended!
```
From start to finish, it all lasted just one minute. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The process of this team battle only took that minute.
Even Du Bai was complaining that the effects of the good luck he had cast hardly had time to show before the battle had already ended.
Mu Yunyu had already come to her senses by now, her complexion somewhat pale from the impact on her Sea of Spirit, but in her eyes was more disbelief than anything else.
For Tang San, she had always held him in high regard. After all, her breakthrough to the Eighth Stage had been with Tang San's help. However, she had never imagined that Cheng Zicheng would have become so strong now. Despite her being a Stage higher in strength, if they really went head-to-head, she wasn't confident she could win against this student. The explosive power of Cheng Zicheng's Golden Winged Cloak Slash posed a significant threat to her.
Teacher Mu had a surprised look on his face as he gave a thumbs up to Gu Li, "Not bad at all! Your Tail Hammer is quite impressive. Though lacking a bit in power, your Time Variation Seal made up for that weakness. You've made considerable progress."
Gu Li scratched his head with a grin, feeling the payoff for more than a year of hard work.
Guan Longjiang's face darkened a bit as a certain rogue middle-aged man came up to him and asked softly, "Yo, isn't this Teacher Guan, who's just been roughed up by society?"
"Buzz off!" Guan Longjiang pushed away Zhang Haoxuan and turned to leave. He had lost, indeed lost, and he needed some time to cool off.
It wasn't just a loss to the opposing team. In fact, Tang San and his group hadn't cooperated much. Their tactics were as simple as could be.
The real reason for the loss was the suppression he and Mu Enqing faced. Yes, at least for that brief moment, they were suppressed. And then they gave Tang San and Cheng Zicheng the chance to go two on one.
During this battle, Tang San seemed to not show too much of his power, rather leveraging his Spiritual Power, which was clearly beyond that of the three teachers, to overwhelm them. They won the short conflict and achieved victory.
The coordination between the teams in this battle wasn't much, and it seemed to be a bout of brute strength. At first glance, it seemed as if Tang San's side won simply because they had more people. But was that really the case?
One-on-one, could Guan Longjiang guarantee victory over Wu Bingji? He himself was uncertain. They had opposing attributes, and moreover, his own disciple's Ice element control had far surpassed his expectations.
No one knew how long Gu Li could last in a power clash, but Gu Li's specialty, Time Variation Seal, wasn't meant for head-on battles. To hold his own against Teacher Mu was already proof of many things.
Tang San seemed to only use ordinary wind blades, not exerting much control. The teachers knew that Wu Bingji had learned some aspects of Ice element control from Tang San, but what about Tang San himself?
Had he become complacent or regressed? Impossible. What about his Ninth Stage peak Spiritual Power and the direct spiritual impacts he could launch? Mu Yunyu and Guan Longjiang, both with strong Spiritual Powers, couldn't block the assault and were affected.
The strength of these kids was no longer what they remembered, and everything deserved a fresh perspective.
"Just let him be for a while. It's hard to accept all at once," Zhang Haoxuan held back his laughter.
Si Ru looked at him, lip buzzing, "You're too wicked. You must've guessed this long ago, picking on little Guan like that. I regret it now. Why did I let Xiao Tang go to you back then?"
"Too late for regrets. Hahaha!" Zhang Haoxuan finally burst out laughing.
Meanwhile, the other students at Redemption Academy now looked at Tang San's team with a completely new respect, especially Senior Brother Wu Bingji, who had managed to stand his ground in a direct power clash with Teacher Guan, a Ninth Stage adept!
Those that truly understood the crux of this battle were rare, like phoenix feathers or a qilin's horn. Only the veterans who knew Tang San caught a glimpse of the clues.
