Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 290: Making History
Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Making History
In the martial arts arena.
Xiao Zhan stood confronting Li Tianshan.
Xiao Zhan wielded the Flame Demon Scythe, with flames swirling around him, making him look like a Flame War God.
Li Tianshan’s Artifact Spirit was a pair of Wu Hooks held in his hands, over a meter long, gleaming silver and exuding a chilling cold light.
Only at the handle were they wrapped with red coils, adding a touch of warmth to the overall cold aura.
This was an SS-grade Artifact Spirit, and Li Tianshan’s Talent Level was also of the same SS-grade.
Xiao Zhan released his Perception towards Li Tianshan, judging from his energy fluctuations that Li Tianshan almost possessed the strength of a Fifth Grade Spirit Master.
And it was incredibly close at that; undoubtedly, it wouldn’t be long before Li Tianshan could make a breakthrough to become a Fifth Grade Spirit Master.
No wonder the Li Consortium valued him so much that they allowed him into the Li Family’s Secret Hall.
According to Hose, if Li Tianshan successfully broke through to the Fifth Grade, then he would be the youngest person in the history of the Federation to reach the Fifth Grade Realm!
He would make history!
However, it’s a pity, for today he has met Xiao Zhan.
Because Xiao Zhan is also about to make history today!
Li Cungao stepped into the middle of the two, his gaze lingered on Xiao Zhan for a second, and then he said, "Are you both ready?"
Neither of them spoke.
Li Cungao continued, "Remember, this is a contest of martial skills; stop at the first touch, and remember not to harm intentionally."
"Okay."
This time, both of them spoke in unison.
However, hearing this, Li Cungao’s face showed no significant reaction, it could even be said that there was no reaction at all.
Because he knew what kind of match it was today.
A duel to the death.
Afterwards, Li Cungao slowly retreated to a position slightly farther from the edge of the martial arts platform.
Usually, he would stand outside the martial arts platform, to prevent himself from accidentally intervening with the fighters, but today, he deliberately stood a bit closer inside for an obvious reason.
"The contest begins now!"
As Li Cungao’s voice fell, both competitors almost simultaneously rushed toward each other.
Xiao Zhan, as usual, released a huge flurry of flames toward Li Tianshan, like a tidal wave, which could not only damage the enemy but also block their view. It was a move he was very fond of using.
Regrettably, now that he mainly used Fire Attribute Energy, the effect was nowhere near as powerful as the Death Aura.
Facing this attack, Li Tianshan merely slashed with his Wu Hooks, and immediately, a fierce wind burst out from the Artifact Spirit, cutting through the flames like blades, scattering them.
Revealing Xiao Zhan’s figure behind them.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but shake his head; it had been so easily dispersed.
Although this move had evolved and he didn’t expect much from it, the ease with which it was scattered still displeased him.
Indeed, compared to the Death Aura, the Fire Attribute Energy fell far short.
If that had been Death Aura just now, even after being dispersed, it would have gathered back together in an instant.
After breaking through the flames, Li Tianshan leaped high into the air, lifting the Wu Hooks above his head, and with a fierce downward force, he brought them crashing down on Xiao Zhan with the weight of Mount Tai Pressing!
The Xiao Zhan Demon Scythe spun in his hands; it was the move he was accustomed to using now.
Previously, it was to show off, but during later use, he discovered that this move was surprisingly effective.
Because of the Demon Scythe’s heavy head, light foot, and considerable length, it generates a certain amount of inertia while spinning. And by making good use of this inertia, unexpected practical combat effects can be achieved.
The Flame Demon Scythe whirled in the air, emitting a whooshing sound, and with the aid of Spirit Manipulation Energy, a formidable power was condensed on the Demon Scythe.
Xiao Zhan forcefully smashed down on Li Tianshan.
Boom!
Energy clashed, Wu Hook met Demon Scythe, and there was a brief deadlock between the two combatants.
But it was only for a split second, as Li Tianshan was then blasted away midair!
This first collision was clearly where Xiao Zhan had the upper hand!
However, Li Tianshan did not suffer much damage, just some disordered breathing. He adjusted his posture in the air and landed steadily on the ground.
The one who landed did not choose to rush the attack but instead stared at Xiao Zhan with a cold gaze.
Xiao Zhan was not in a hurry to attack either because he knew he was not just facing Li Tianshan, but Li Cungao and Li Tianshan together!
He must lead the rhythm well and create a chance for a fatal strike!
Their initial collision had also immediately drawn exclamations of surprise from the surrounding audience.
"This Xiao Family boy’s got something up his sleeve, managing to take the advantage!"
"Just now, Li Tianshan’s move invoked his full strength, and he had the advantage of high over low; stopping that requires immense power. Not only did Xiao Yu block it, but he even sent Li Tianshan flying! Terrifying!"
"This battle is going to be worth watching, come on, does anyone dare to bet with me? I’ll put up a hundred secret pickles on Xiao Yu winning!"
"I’ll take that bet; I’m betting on Li Tianshan winning, two hundred pickles!"
"I’m in too..."
On the platform, Xiao Zhan was unaware that people were placing bets on him and Li Tianshan.
If he knew, he would definitely let Ghost Abacus bet all his savings on his own victory!
That way, he would probably make a killing just on the wagers alone.
All he was thinking about now was how to take down Li Tianshan with a single scythe strike.
Little did he know that as he was striving to fight, Ghost Abacus was fiddling with the black abacus above his head, "Damn it, these folks who’ve never seen the world, using pickles as bets; thankfully, I’ve got my own book running."
Hose, hearing this, narrowed his eyes, intrigued, "Do you need me to calculate how much money you could make on this?
"No need, I’ll handle money calculations myself," Ghost Abacus said with a mix of pride and refusal.
Hose shook his head - truly a person who saw money as important as life.
On the platform.
Li Tianshan looked at Xiao Zhan for a few seconds, then suddenly, he roared, "Battle Spirit Form!"
He actually directly activated the Battle Spirit Form!
Xiao Zhan was slightly taken aback; this was a pace for a quick resolution, and he had thought that Li Tianshan would activate the Battle Spirit Form a bit later. He didn’t expect it so soon.
However, Xiao Zhan couldn’t be happy because not being able to defeat Li Tianshan in Battle Spirit Form wasn’t the issue; once Battle Spirit Form was activated, he only had a few minutes.
Once the time was up, Li Tianshan wouldn’t be able to fight.
And with the significant increase in strength during Battle Spirit Form, Xiao Zhan could handle it, but it wouldn’t be so straightforward.
And if Xiao Zhan didn’t kill him during the few minutes of Li Tianshan’s Battle Spirit Form, once he was unable to fight, Li Cungao would surely come out to stop it.
Thus, even though Xiao Zhan would win, not being able to kill Li Tianshan would be unsatisfactory to him.
Because these people from the Li family, they had designs on his wife, they must die!
