["The two sides of the battle: one side is Second Team Captain, Yu Xiaogang."]
["The other side is a combination of four members: Xu Xiaoxing, Jiang Lanlan, Tian Qingqing, and Lin Fei."]
["Neither side has any objections, right?"]
Bibi Dong glanced at both sides.
["We don't. But Captain, do you really not need to place any restrictions on our side?"]
["We've been stacking attributes for quite a while now."]
While speaking, Jiang Lanlan cast another Spirit Ability onto Xu Xiaoxing.
["Don't worry, my strength is guaranteed. If anything, if you actually manage to make me get serious, I'd be quite surprised."]
Yu Xiaogang said with a face full of confidence.
Bibi Dong, standing to the side, didn't say anything. Having witnessed the sparring match between Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen—especially that sun-like Spirit Bomb—she highly acknowledged Yu Xiaogang's strength.
["Alright then."]
Seeing how confident Yu Xiaogang was, Bibi Dong didn't say more. Jiang Lanlan and the others exchanged looks before finally turning their gaze toward Lin Fei.
["Good luck, Lin Fei! Make sure to fully unleash the power of the attributes we've stacked up!"]
["That's right, this is our first battle together as a team!"]
Hearing their words, Lin Fei scratched his head sheepishly.
["I... I'll do my best."]
Soon, both sides took their positions, and Bibi Dong withdrew from the battlefield.
["Let the battle begin!"]
As Bibi Dong's voice fell, the support trio acted. Jiang Lanlan and Xu Xiaoxing transferred the attributes they had been stacking for ages to Lin Fei as buffs.
Afterward, the two performed other Spirit Abilities, arranging all sorts of augmentations onto him.
Of course, compared to the speed at which they stacked together, the other augmentations weren't as significant.
But even so, Lin Fei felt a powerful surge of energy flooding into his body.
In the next second, Lin Fei summoned his Spirit, and a pair of gloves appeared on his hands.
The black and red gloves encased Lin Fei's hands. The material was part fabric and part metal, looking quite impressive in design.
On the back of the gloves, four gems of different colors—red, yellow, blue, and white—were embedded in various spots.
At this moment, the blue gem among them was emitting a light that could be described as blinding.
Compared to this gem, the other three looked like cheap imitations.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Fei circulated his Soul Power, mobilizing his Spirit to begin converting attributes.
Soon, the blinding light from the blue gem began to dim, while the light from the other gems started to intensify.
["So, Lin Fei's Spirit allows one to judge his current attribute strength through the intensity of the gems' glow?"]
Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow.
This was a very obvious weakness; the glow of the gems would reveal Lin Fei's offensive intentions to his opponent.
When the gem representing the attack attribute glowed, it proved Lin Fei intended to attack.
That would be the time to use defensive measures.
If it didn't glow, it meant Lin Fei was just bluffing.
["If I encountered this situation, how would I improve it?"]
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment.
Soon, under Lin Fei's control, the light of the blue gem representing speed dimmed to a normal level.
Meanwhile, the red gem representing strength and the white gem representing Soul Power glowed exceptionally bright.
Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, even the introverted Lin Fei couldn't help but smile.
It was truly hard not to smile when his attributes could be boosted to such an extent.
Feeling the power in his body, Lin Fei looked up at Yu Xiaogang, waiting for the other party to summon his Spirit.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang realized he had been so busy watching the show that he hadn't even summoned his Spirit yet.
Thus, with a thought, Yu Xiaogang circulated his Soul Power, preparing to summon Little Dragon.
However, at that moment, Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched, and he eventually revealed a helpless expression.
Before the crowd could wonder why Yu Xiaogang made such a face, a black vortex appeared in front of him in the next second.
This black vortex pulled everything around it frantically, its scale growing larger and larger.
Once the vortex had grown to a size that seemed to cover the sky, a ferocious dragon claw reached out from within, followed by a pair of piercing red eyes.
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang's own hair and eye color changed along with the shift in attribute.
Roar!
With a dragon's roar, Little Dragon, converted to the dark attribute, appeared on the Training Ground.
Its ferocious five-meter-long body, dragon wings that blotted out the sun, and the cold, chilling aura it had been emitting since its appearance were overwhelming.
Add to that the dark attribute's unique ability to weaken opponents or exert psychological pressure.
In any case, the Little Dragon at this moment brought a sense of despairing pressure to Lin Fei and the others.
["This... this is the Captain's Spirit?"]
["With this kind of pressure, just how strong is the Captain? Could he be a Spirit Emperor or even a Spirit Saint?"]
["Terrifying. No wonder Bibi Dong, the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple, is only the Vice-Captain."]
["There's such a powerhouse in the academy? Why have I never heard of him before?"]
Lin Fei and the others had various thoughts, but one was universal: 'How is it possible to win against this?'
However, thoughts were just thoughts; at least for now, no one thought of surrendering immediately.
It was just an internal spar; if they didn't even dare to do this, what kind of Spirit Masters were they?
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Yu Xiaogang nodded.
["It seems these people have decent mental fortitude. They didn't surrender immediately under the suppression of Little Dragon's dark attribute; they are capable of great things."]
Only those who had faced Little Dragon's full form and its dark attribute could understand exactly how strong the pressure was at this moment.
Of course, letting Little Dragon appear before everyone in its full darkness form wasn't Yu Xiaogang's original intention.
He really just intended to have a simple battle with Lin Fei and the others.
But unfortunately, Little Dragon wanted to show off.
In front of familiar faces like Yu Xiaogang, Yu Yuanzhen, the Grand Elder, and Bibi Dong, even if Little Dragon showed its full form, it couldn't scare anyone.
After all, these people all knew that inside that massive body was the heart of a cute little fellow.
But with Lin Fei and this group who were completely unfamiliar with it, appearing in its full form allowed it to show off properly in front of them.
So, when Yu Xiaogang summoned Little Dragon, it immediately decided to make its entrance this way.
Yu Xiaogang, having learned of Little Dragon's thoughts, felt that scaring people like this wasn't great, but he didn't stop it.
It was his own family doing something harmless; there was no need to hold it back.
As for showing off today, knowing that it would eventually have to reveal its true self as Little Dragon in the future—would that cause the powerful image it left in Lin Fei's heart to come crashing down?
Little Dragon's stance was: if it didn't show off now and stayed in its hatchling form from the start, what kind of image would it have then?
If its image broke in the future, that was a problem for the future.
Right now, it wanted to establish a formidable image in the hearts of Lin Fei and the others first!
