Chapter 880: Do You Want To Be My Personal Student?
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Who is this person? From the silver linings on his collar, he’s in his fourth year, yet he dares to challenge Xiao Ri`nan?”
“His name is Tuo`er and he is pretty famous in our year.”
“Do you think the current Xiao Ri`nan is still the rising superstar from back then? Ever since his legs were broken by Wanyan Zhenghe, he has declined.”
The students discussed fervently, feeling that Xiao Ri`nan would lose. After all, his defeat back then caused everyone to feel that he was nothing but a stepping stone.
This was also the reason why Xiao Ri`nan wanted to fight this round. He wanted to prove himself.
“You are one year lower than me. For the sake of fairness, I won’t use any cultivation arts. I will just use my newly learned spiritual controlling techniques to fight you.”
Xiao Ri`nan was also a guy with pride. If he used cultivation art, they wouldn’t be able to fight because he would crush Tuo`er.
“Spiritual controlling techniques?”
Wanyan Zhenghe had a stunned look on his face as his large eyes surveyed Xiao Ri`nan. (You know the art of spiritual control?) After that, he turned his head and looked at Sun Mo.
(It must have been Sun Mo who taught him, right?)
“It’s fine. Just use whatever moves you want to use.”
Tuo`er wasn’t afraid at all.
“Hehe!”
Xiao Ri`nan smiled and looked at Jiang Ji. “Teacher, could you please be the judge?”
“How confident!”
Meng Tai praised. Jiang Ji was Tuo`er’s personal teacher. If he was the judge, it would actually give Tuo`er a small advantage.
However, Jiang Ji naturally wouldn’t take such advantages. He directly announced the start of the fight.
Tuo`er roared and rapidly charged toward Xiao Ri`nan.
Xiao Ri`nan retreated, and his hands quickly formed seals. After that, his left and right thumbs were stuffed in his mouth as he bit down on them forcefully.
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Blood flowed and he clapped ferociously, pressing his palms together, forming a complete spiritual formation.
BOOM!
Spirit qi gushed wildly as rustling sounds pervaded the surrounding. Countless bugs began to gather and flew over rapidly.
Hu~
They looked like a large black cloud.
“What?”
Meng Tai’s eyes shone. Xiao Ri`nan’s technique was truly magnificent.
Usually, when spiritual controllers formed seals to summon spiritual beasts, they would be very cautious because a single mistake would result in a backlash. However, this youth actually completed the seals with his two hands.
One must know that when it came to forming seals, the right hand was supposed to be the master hand and the left hand was for support. As Xiao Ri`nan used both hands as the master hand, he could reduce the casting time by ⅔.
To spiritual controllers, the thing they were most afraid of was to be defeated before they could complete their summons. After all, their personal combat ability had always been weaker in comparison.
“Courageous, thoughtful, and composed. What a good seedling!”
Meng Tai praised.
Xiao Ri`nan, who had finished his summoning, began to attack and block normally with his hands and feet. He didn’t use any moves from cultivation arts.
“Bring it on!”
Tuo`er shouted.
The cloud of bugs creaked loudly and engulfed Tuo`er.
“Go to hell!”
Tuo`er shouted in anger and attacked wildly. Large batches of bugs were killed, but even more were flying over. They gathered together and took the form of a gigantic eagle that ruthlessly slammed into Tuo`er, biting and chewing on him.
“Argh!”
Tuo`er’s battle roars turned into screams of pain. He had no way to struggle free from the vortex of bugs, let alone to continue attacking Xiao Ri`nan.
When Xiao Ri`nan saw this, he immediately stopped his summoning.
“We have lost!” Jiang Ji sighed. “Please dispel your bugs.”
Xiao Ri`nan nodded and dispelled his summons. Those bugs rapidly fled and vanished after a few moments like they had never appeared before.
Only the corpses of the bugs and the red swellings on Tuo`er’s body showed how intense and miserable that fight was.
“Teacher, I didn’t lose! Teacher, I didn’t lose!”
Tuo`er howled with a fierce look on his face.
“Calm down!” Jiang Ji said, “It isn’t frightening that you lose. You can at most try again. What’s frightening is when you cannot see reality clearly.”
Tuo`er eyes were swollen and filled with tears. He couldn’t help but cry.
The surrounding students had pale faces too as they stared at Xiao Ri`nan and his hands that were filled with the bizarre blood-colored spiritual formation.
Honestly speaking, if they were the one fighting Xiao Ri`nan, they would have fled the moment the swarm of bugs appeared.
There was no solution to it. They were too frightening and disgusting.
“My profession counters yours, so you won’t be able to win against me unless your cultivation art possesses the ability to kill bugs swiftly in a large radius.”
Xiao Ri`nan was very modest.
He won too easily, so he didn’t feel proud at all.
However, he grew fonder of the art of spiritual control. In the past, he always had to be very cautious when he fought. Even if he won, he would suffer injuries. But now, the bugs could settle everything.
Even if the bugs failed, he could still fight as the second layer of insurance.
“If I managed to find a powerful spiritual beast, wouldn’t I become even more awesome?”
Xiao Ri`nan longed for the future.
“Not bad!”
Sun Mo evaluated.
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo felt somewhat disgusted. This scene made him recall his past when a large batch of cockroaches rushed out after he opened a cupboard. At that moment, it felt like hail was dropping onto your face.
The sensation of the bugs crawling on your skin was extremely terrible.
“That Doggy Xiao actually knows the art of spiritual control.”
Wanyan Zhenghe was shocked. He subconsciously asked, “What do you think where his standard is at?”
“No idea!”
How would Sang Ge dare to say the truth?
Truthfully speaking, from Xiao Ri`nan’s smooth execution when he was forming the hand seals as well as the number of bugs summoned, it was clear that he was a genius in the art of spiritual control.
“It’s just him using bugs to disgust people. There’s nothing impressive.”
Wanyan Zhenghe consoled himself. After that, he saw Meng Tai rushing out of the crowd in agitation and ran toward Xiao Ri`nan. He then grabbed Xiao Ri`nan’s hands and seriously did an inspection.
“Not bad, very excellent. This formation is too wondrous. How long have you practiced it for?”
Meng Tai was curious.
“Two months,” Xiao Ri`nan honestly replied.
“What? Genius. You are a true genius!”
After Meng Tai finished praising, he looked Xiao Ri`nan in the eye. “Do you have a personal teacher?”
Xiao Ri`nan’s heart then pounded violently.
This person before him was a 6-star great teacher and also a grandmaster spiritual controller with very deep attainments in this subject.
(Did he want to recruit me?)
Xiao Ri`nan subconsciously shook his head. After that, his gaze drifted toward Sun Mo as he pondered silently. Sun Mo’s standard in the art of spiritual control couldn’t possibly be higher than Meng Tai, right?
After all, Sun Mo was truly too young.
“No.”
“That’s excellent!”
Meng Tai was extremely joyful. He forcefully patted Xiao Ri`nan’s shoulder. “Do you want to be my personal student?”
Although everyone had guessed that Meng Tai would do this, when they heard it personally, they all exclaimed in shock.
As expected, geniuses would always be doted on.
“F*** it!”
When Wanyan Zhenghe saw this scene, he was so angered that he coughed up blood. He felt so much envy that he was on the verge of going mad.
Being able to be recruited in such an ardent manner by a 6-star grandmaster spiritual controller. One could only say that Xiao Ri`nan’s talent in this subject was shockingly high.
Xiao Ri`nan gulped down a mouthful of saliva and stared at Sun Mo.
