Chapter 113: Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Fighting Debut
["It truly is a very good control Spirit Ability."]
[Yu Xiaogang praised.]
["That's not all. The strength of my Third Spirit Ability, Spiderweb, is decided by me, the Spirit Master."]
["The stronger I am, the stronger the Spiderweb will be. The more Spiderwebs I can release at once, the larger they become."]
["In other words, this move is a control Spirit Ability that can be used up to the Titled Douluo level. When my teacher first learned about this Spirit Ability, he was very shocked."]
[Bibi Dong proudly revealed the full details of her Third Spirit Ability.]
["So strong!"]
[Seeing Bibi Dong's proud look, Yu Xiaogang cooperated by putting on a shocked expression.]
[If it were anyone else, this shock would definitely be genuine, but Yu Xiaogang's own first two Spirit Abilities were of this same type.]
[So his reaction was much more subdued.]
["Hehe."]
[Seeing Yu Xiaogang's shocked appearance, Bibi Dong giggled foolishly.]
[Ever since she met Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong had always been the one being shocked.]
[Whether it was Yu Xiaogang's spirit rings, his Spirit, his fighting style, or his true combat power, all of it felt unbelievable to Bibi Dong.]
[Along with that sense of disbelief came a competitive Spirit.]
[Now that she finally had something impressive enough to shock Yu Xiaogang, she couldn't help but be happy.]
["Alright, now that we understand the situation, let's go to the Great Spirit Arena. Today might just be my debut."]
["Debut? Then I must witness it properly."]
[ヾ(≧O≦)〃 Awoo~]
[A short while later, at the Spirit City's Great Spirit Arena.]
["Registering a duo, the dragon emperor team."]
[Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong stood before the registration desk, waiting to enter their information.]
["You are... Spider Empress Bibi Dong?"]
[The registration manager recognized Bibi Dong at a glance. As the Disciple of His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall and a regular at the Spirit City's Great Spirit Arena, Bibi Dong's popularity was very high.]
["Have you finally found a suitable teammate?"]
[The manager looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, searching his memory for recent news in Spirit City, but he couldn't find anyone who matched.]
["That's right. From now on, I can finally participate in two-on-two Spirit Fighting."]
[Bibi Dong's face was full of anticipation.]
[She was tired of one-on-one Spirit Fighting and finally wanted a change of pace.]
["It seems this teammate of yours satisfies you quite well,"]
[The manager said with a smile. As he spoke, he handed an information form to Yu Xiaogang for him to register his details.]
[Taking the form, Yu Xiaogang quickly filled it out and handed it back to the manager.]
[The manager looked at the information on the form with curiosity. He was very curious about what kind of person could catch the eye of the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple.]
[Then he froze.]
["Yu Xiaogang, code name Light Dragon, spirit power Rank 24?"]
[The manager looked up at Yu Xiaogang, as if to confirm whether he had filled it out incorrectly.]
[After all, with Bibi Dong being above Rank 30, she shouldn't have found a Spirit Grandmaster to be her teammate.]
[To the man's surprise, before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Bibi Dong spoke up first.]
["It is Rank 24, you didn't see it wrong. His strength has my recognition, so there's no need to doubt anything."]
[Bibi Dong said irritably.]
[Mentioning Yu Xiaogang's spirit power Rank made Bibi Dong involuntarily recall her previous experience of being defeated.]
["Ah... alright, I understand."]
[Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, the manager immediately understood something. He gasped and looked at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.]
[Bibi Dong was the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple. How could a Genius like her be defeated by someone of a lower Rank?]
["Don't dawdle, we're waiting to go for Spirit Fighting."]
[Seeing that the manager understood the reason, Bibi Dong felt even more uncomfortable.]
[If she had known, she wouldn't have fought that match earlier!]
["Hmph, my fourth spirit ring must make up for my mental weaknesses, otherwise I'll never have a chance to defeat him,"]
[Bibi Dong thought to herself.]
["Yes, yes, I'll get it done for you right away."]
[The manager immediately sped up his work, helping the two register their information and then arranging a match.]
[After the two left, the manager called a colleague to temporarily take his place while he ran to the Spirit Fighting arena, wanting to see for himself why this guy named Yu Xiaogang could defeat Bibi Dong.]
Then he witnessed a scene that shattered his worldview.
"Next, let us welcome the duel between the dragon emperor team and the Blood-Stained Duo."
Under the host's introduction, Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong stepped onto the Spirit Fighting stage. Opposite them were two burly men.
"Even children are participating in Spirit Fighting? Don't make me laugh, go back to drinking milk!"
As soon as they started, the Blood-Stained Duo began talking trash. They were a newly formed duo, so they didn't recognize Bibi Dong, who was very famous in the Great Spirit Arena.
"You or me?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang.
"I'll do it. My attack speed is faster."
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward. The moment the host announced the start, two purple spirit rings rose.
In an instant, the originally intense cheering seemed to have its throat cut; the entire Spirit Fighting scene became so quiet that a needle could be heard dropping.
The two members of the Blood-Stained Duo were also stunned on the spot, and one even raised his hand to rub his eyes.
However, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't stop just because they were dazed. He condensed two long staves and controlled them to fly toward the two.
It wasn't until the staves reached them that the two from the Blood-Stained Duo reacted and immediately tried to block.
But unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang's strength was far beyond what they could withstand.
Thus, the two were quickly beaten soundly by the staves. Afterward, Yu Xiaogang transformed the staves into Light Swords and held them against the two's necks.
With that, the battle ended, taking no more than a few dozen seconds.
"The... the battle is over! The dragon emperor team wins!"
"Heavens, who on earth is this contestant named Light Dragon?"
"His first two spirit rings are actually purple thousand-year spirit rings!"
"How did he do it?"
The host responsible for the match was greatly shocked upon seeing what Yu Xiaogang displayed, especially the spirit rings.
The audience also snapped out of their daze due to the host's impassioned voice.
On the Spirit Fighting stage, under everyone's gaze, Yu Xiaogang retracted his spirit rings, completing his life's Spirit Fighting debut.
"How does it feel?"
Bibi Dong, who hadn't made a move the whole time, came to Yu Xiaogang's side and asked.
"It doesn't seem any different from a normal battle."
Yu Xiaogang rested his chin on his hand, not satisfied with this battle.
"It's mainly because our current Spirit Fighting badge Rank is too low."
"An Iron Spirit Fighting Badge with no record—the Great Spirit Arena can only arrange similar opponents for us."
"But I believe we'll encounter strong opponents soon."
Bibi Dong was somewhat expectant.
Battles in the Great Spirit Arena were different from internal sparring at the academy. People who came here to fight had to pay to register.
Therefore, battles in the Great Spirit Arena were generally more intense.
This was also why Bibi Dong loved coming here, as only here could she experience the thrill of a real battle.
"You took this battle, so it's my turn next time. We'll take turns like this, one match each, no stealing from each other."
"So, you wanted to participate in two-on-two just to fight many alone, right?"
"Because one-on-one really isn't enough for me. You'll understand once you experience it; one-on-one simply cannot satisfy the combat needs of people like us."
Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang discussed their future battle arrangements on the stage.
Below the stage, a group of people cast greedy looks at Yu Xiaogang.
