The Ugly Zhang San

With the Spider King Martial Soul possessing him, a layer of dark purple carapace appeared on the surface of Zhang Sanren's body.

Then, the two legs transformed into eight spider legs nearly two meters long, resembling eight sharp scythes.

What's most disturbing is his face.

That already ordinary face became even more ferocious and ugly the moment the Martial Soul Possession.

His skin was an unhealthy grayish-purple, his facial features were distorted and deformed, several horrifying bumps bulged on his forehead, his eyes became narrow and cold, and his pupils shimmered with a ghostly green light.

A collective gasp rippled through the audience. Some felt their hair stand on end, turning away in disbelief, whispering amongst themselves.

"My god, what kind of Martial Soul is that? It's so ugly!"

"Man-Faced Spider Emperor? It's better not to have Martial Soul if it looks like that."

Although such scenes frequently occur during training at the Spirit Hall Academy, the students and teachers are all extremely wary of Zhang San's status as a disciple of the Pope, and no one dares to reveal anything.

However, many of the spectators at this time did not belong to the Spirit Hall, including the students of the New Divine Wind Team who were watching from the sidelines.

They naturally had no reservations about Zhang San's identity, and their expressions of disgust were undisguised.

When Xiao Wu saw Zhang San's appearance, her disgust for him deepened even further.

No one dislikes a sunny and handsome boy.

Moreover, a beautiful and adorable girl like Xiao Wu is even more of a looks-obsessed person.

Even Hu Liena, who had always admired Zhang San's talent, felt a slight unease at this moment.

Sensing the gazes around him, a ruthless glint flashed in Zhang San's eyes.

But soon, that fierce look was replaced by a deeper sense of inferiority.

He also hated his appearance when he Martial Soul Possession, and hated the way people looked at him every time he Martial Soul Possession.

The look of disgust, fear, and disdain in his eyes made his already taciturn personality even more withdrawn and tyrannical.

Zhang San was unaware that his teacher had the same experience as him.

But at least, Bibi Dong was an unparalleled beauty when she didn't reveal her Martial Soul, and that contrast only added to her beauty.

The match begins.

Xiao Wu immediately launched an attack.

Her Second Soul Ring lit up, and her second Soul Skill, "Charm," emitted a pink light that shot from her eyes, heading straight for Zhang San's eyes.

Zhang San's gaze met Xiao Wu's gaze in mid-air.

His body stiffened abruptly, his eyes became unfocused, and his movements froze.

Xiao Wu's Charm skill took effect, and Zhang San fell into a brief daze.

But just as Xiao Wu was about to launch another attack, Zhang San's eyes suddenly lit up.

A purple light flashed in his eyes— the Purple Demon Eyes.

The Purple Demon Eye is Tang Sect Secret Arts, capable of seeing through all illusions and deceptions.

The Charm effect was instantly neutralized by the Purple Demon Eye.

Zhang San's reaction was as fast as lightning.

His body twisted violently, and his eight spider legs lashed out simultaneously, like eight scythes, slashing towards Xiao Wu with incredible speed.

Xiao Wu's body floated up like willow catkins, displaying her full range of graceful techniques.

Her waist was so supple it seemed boneless, and her body weaved through the gaps in the spider legs, each dodge perfectly timed to avoid the sharp points.

The two exchanged blows, locked in a fierce struggle.

Xiao Wu's graceful techniques are flexible and varied, alternating between Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body.

Zhang San's control skills made it difficult to lock onto her; he always missed by just a little bit.

His Spider Web Restraint, control Soul Skills, and spider leg attacks were also formidable, nearly ensnaring Xiao Wu several times.

Even more terrifying is the deadly poison that the Man-Faced Spider Emperor carries; Xiao Wu dared not take Zhang San's attack head-on.

Every approach must be taken with extreme caution, and every dodge must be done with all one's might.

However, Xiao Wu's Soul Power was seven levels higher than Zhang San's, and she also had an extra Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, so her advantage gradually became apparent.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang San's breathing became rapid, and the depletion of his Soul Power gradually made him feel strained.

He could only rely on the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand techniques for dodging and defense.

Zhang San gritted his teeth and persevered, but the difference in Soul Power could not be overcome by skill.

Furthermore, Xiao Wu and Tang San had trained together for many years, and their combat skills were equally outstanding.

She spotted an opening in Zhang San's defenses and used her Fifth Soul Skill, "Bone Shadow Lock," a powerful single-target control Soul Skill, to successfully entangle Zhang San's body.

The effect of the Bone Shadow Lock is that one cannot exert force actively for eight seconds unless Soul Power is more than ten levels higher or one uses a large amount of Soul Power to break it.

No matter what kind of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, four ounces deflect Four Ounces Deflect a Thousand Pounds, or the Mysterious Jade Hand technique you use, you can't exert any force, so you can't use any of them.

Zhang San's body suddenly stiffened.

He felt as if all his strength had been drained away; his limbs were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

Xiao Wu didn't give him any chance.

She used her Waist Bow again, swinging Zhang San's body high into the air, drawing an arc in the air, before slamming him heavily off the stage.

Zhang San got up, panting heavily, a deep sense of loss flashing in his eyes.

But he quickly came to terms with it, because he had now figured out Xiao Wu's moves.

All of her attacks require close-range combat, Fifth Soul Skill's control also has conditions, requiring her to lock onto the opponent.

Zhang San was confident that he could completely defeat Xiao Wu in their next match.

Although Xiao Wu achieved the final victory, she had also consumed a lot of her Soul Power, leaving her with only 30-40% of it, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She also began to take Zhang San's fighting strength seriously, and pondered how to deal with him the next time she encountered Zhang San.

"Match 8: Shrek Academy's Xiao Wu versus Spirit Hall Academy's Xie Yue!"

When Xie Yue stepped onto the arena, a pair of Moon Blades were already spinning in his palms, like two silver crescent moons, gleaming with a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.

They sent out a captain so quickly?

Tang San frowned slightly.

He glanced at Yan and Hu Liena, the two remaining members of the Spirit Hall's team, and immediately understood.

Yan is a fire element, which is effective against plant-type and poison elements.

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the best weapon to deal with Tang San and Dugu Yan.

Therefore, they saved Yan for last, letting Xie Yue and Hu Liena go first, in order to wear down Shrek's fighting strength as much as possible.

Xiao Wu had expended a lot of her Soul Power in the battle with Zhang San, and she had little chance of winning against Xie Yue, who was also at level 52.

But Xiao Wu did not back down; all she needed to do was exhaust her opponent to the maximum extent possible.

As soon as the referee gave the signal, Xie Yue's figure transformed into a silver streak on the arena.

The Moon Blade danced in his hands like two spinning wheels of death, each rotation bringing with it a sharp, cold glint.

His speed was astonishing; his afterimages left silver arcs in the air.

Xiao Wu used Teleportation and her Invincible Golden Body to fight him.

Just as Xie Yue's Moon Blade was about to strike her, she Teleportation away.

This style of play is extremely taxing.

Each Teleportation consumes a large amount of Soul Power, and the Invincible Golden Body can only be used a limited number of times.

But Xiao Wu's goal was not to win, but to deplete Xie Yue's Soul Power and create an opportunity for Dugu Yan and Tang San.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Wu's Soul Power finally ran out.

Her Soul Power was no longer sufficient to use the Teleportation Soul Skill, and she had also used up all her uses of the Invincible Golden Body skill.

I surrender.

After dodging Xie Yue's attack one last time, Xiao Wu shouted crisply.

Helpless, Xie Yue withdrew his Moon Blade.

After a quarter of an hour of chasing, his Soul Power was depleted by more than 30%.
