"Not bad, your Spirit Fusion Skill can serve as the ultimate trump card for the academy competition. There are still more than two months before the competition begins. I will focus on analyzing and training this Spirit Fusion Skill for you upon your return, striving to fully master it within these two months."
Grandmaster made the final decision, and the siblings had no objections.
"Right, right, Little San, what's your fourth spirit ability like this time? A ten-thousand-year spirit ability should be very powerful, right?" Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked at Tang San with anticipation.
"You want to see it?" Tang San raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the two.
His spirit power had already recovered seventy to eighty percent, so releasing spirit abilities was no problem.
"Of course! You're the second person among us, after Sui Sui, to have a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring!" Oscar was not stingy with his praise. Flanders, who had witnessed the might of Tang Sui's fourth spirit ability, also nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Sui Sui's fourth spirit ability is indeed very domineering. Her offensive spirit abilities are already so powerful, yours shouldn't be bad either."
Tang San's lips curved slightly. "Although my fourth spirit ability is not as powerful as Sui Sui's, but... I think if coordinated perfectly, it should be considered a good crowd control spirit ability."
"Oh?" Dai Mubai looked over with interest. Tang San raised his hand, and dark blue light surged from his palm. A jet-black Bluedevil grass emerged from the light. Its pure black color exuded a sense of oppressive darkness.
Four spirit rings circled Tang San's body. The fourth jet-black spirit ring was the largest, appearing solid and restrained under the contrast of the other two colors.
In the next second, without any warning, sixteen jet-black Bluedevil grass vines shot up from the ground, instantly ensnaring the closest and most unprepared Oscar, forming a tight single-target cage.
"This is—" Oscar looked at the black Bluedevil grass converging above his head in astonishment.
Tang San smiled faintly. "This is my fourth spirit ability, born from the burrowing spider's web cage. That's why I call it the Bluedevil Cage."
Oscar tentatively squeezed the tough black Bluedevil grass and was a little disappointed. "Although it's silent and catches people off guard when activated, but... Little San, why does your ten-thousand-year spirit ability feel a bit weak?"
"Is that so?" Tang San's smile deepened slightly. Without any warning, except for Tang Sui and Xiao Wu, jet-black Bluedevil grass suddenly shot out from under everyone's feet. It instantly sealed off the space above their heads, forming individual single-target cages and trapping them within.
"A group control skill! Isn't this a spirit ability that only control-type spirit masters above level fifty can possess?!" Flanders looked at the black cage that had trapped him, his expression tinged with daze.
Its activation was completely without warning, and there was no aura leakage, truly silent and traceless, completely sealing the surrounding space and directions without any possibility for the opponent to dodge. It was a genuine group control skill!
Dai Mubai touched the jet-black Bluedevil grass. The plant body of the Bluedevil grass actually emitted a metallic clang, similar to steel. This showed that under the effect of the fourth spirit ability, the Bluedevil grass had indeed hardened to the point of real steel.
Dai Mubai pulled hard, but the Bluedevil Cage remained unmoved.
He took a deep breath, let out a roar, unleashed his spirit, clenched his right hand into a fist, and covered it with golden spirit power. He swung his fist forcefully towards the Bluedevil Cage.
With a loud "bang," fine cracks appeared on the tough and rigid Bluedevil grass.
Dai Mubai gathered strength and swung his second fist, only then breaking through the Bluedevil Cage.
Watching the Bluedevil Cage dissipate into faint black light and vanish into the air before him, Dai Mubai's eyes shone with excitement. "Even I, a Spirit Ancestor in my forties, need several seconds to break it. If it were used on someone else..."
"A single Bluedevil Cage might not be much, but breaking it takes time. And whether on the battlefield or in a competition, a few seconds can often change many things."
Flanders and the others thought along the same lines as Dai Mubai.
Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can your spirit ability, Third Brother, be combined with my fourth spirit ability, Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike?! My fourth spirit ability requires time to charge and aim. If your Bluedevil Cage can restrict the opponent beforehand, then my attack will be a hundred percent accurate!"
"Of course. Not just your Phoenix Howling Heaven Strike, but also Big Brother Dai's White Tiger Meteor Shower, Sui Sui's single-target mask attack, and so on. And in my darkened state, their power can even increase further."
Tang San said with a smile. He waved his right hand, and the black light of the fourth spirit ring dimmed slightly. All the black Bluedevil Cages instantly sank into the ground and disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
"This sounds really good. Little San, let's figure it out together when we get back." Dai Mubai was tempted by the grand vision Tang San had painted.
"Brother, I want it too!"
Tang Sui's eyes also shone brightly as she stared at Tang San. Having played Onmyoji for many years and paired up teams, she had already begun to substitute herself and make combinations. Tang San agreed to everything.
"Since everyone has obtained their fourth spirit ring, let's return to the academy now to avoid any further complications," Zhao Wuji said at an opportune moment. The others had no objections.
Everyone packed up, ready to return to Shrek Academy.
