Mu Yuan Makes His Move

Tang San struck first, breaking the balance.

Tang San instantly used Blue Silver Bind, but his target was not an enemy—it was his teammate, Dai Mubai.

Blue Silver Bind wrapped around Dai Mubai's waist and pulled him back from Yu Tianheng's attack.

Yu Tianheng's attack missed as a result.

Tang San pressed his advantage. Catching Yu Tianheng off guard, he directly unleashed his strongest soul skill.

"Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Devour!"

This was precisely the tactic Tang San had devised before the battle. Dai Mubai would first feign weakness and lure Yu Tianheng into attacking, while Tang San would seize the chance to use his strongest move and take out the powerful Yu Tianheng in one stroke.

Five thick Blue Silver Grass vines shot out, wrapping tightly around Yu Tianheng from the front and binding him securely. Large amounts of yellow mucus secreted from the Blue Silver Grass. Yu Tianheng struggled frantically inside, blue-violet lightning constantly leaking out with crackling bursts that made one's heart tremble.

"Tianheng!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan in the rear was instantly enraged.

"Bastard, you brought this on yourselves. Jade Python Snake Venom!"

Her third soul ring shone brightly as she spewed out a cloud of purple mist.

Tang San's expression did not change. He had prepared for this long ago, tossing out a huge waterskin filled with alcohol and realgar.

"Fatty!"

Ma Hongjun in the rear received the signal and fired a Phoenix Fireline.

The alcohol ignited, and a massive burst of flames erupted, dispersing Dugu Yan's poisonous mist.

"My snake venom... was actually countered!"

Dugu Yan said blankly.

At that moment, Yu Tianheng tore apart the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him, but the corrosive mucus remained on his body, inflicting serious burns all over him.

Yu Tianheng dropped to one knee, his face twisted in pain.

Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng with heartache.

A calm voice came from behind them. "What are you panicking for?"

As the words fell, white light descended from above in the shape of flower petals and entered Yu Tianheng's body. In an instant, Yu Tianheng's injuries were completely healed.

Yu Tianheng stood up with a smile.

"Lingling is right. What are we panicking for? The battle has only just begun!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan regained her spirits and once again unleashed her poisonous mist.

The Imperial Fighting Team members had long been prepared, with antidotes ready.

But Tang San did not have a second waterskin.

"Nine Heart Begonia!"

Tang San muttered Ye Lingling's Martial Soul with an ugly expression.

Only now did he truly and directly understand just how terrifying this Martial Soul was.

Dai Mubai charged forward again.

But he was no match for Yu Tianheng at all.

With no other choice, Dai Mubai could only call for Zhu Zhuqing's help.

"Zhuqing, use that move!"

Zhu Zhuqing turned into a shadowy blur and flew toward Dai Mubai.

"Not good, it's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Yu Tianheng said.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill was an ability formed by fusing two people's Martial Souls. Its power could be several times greater than before, enough to change the entire course of a battle.

Yu Tianheng was immediately alarmed.

But just then, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, who were preparing to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, were suddenly flung apart.

If their hearts could not connect, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill could not be used.

Yu Tianheng was overjoyed and immediately pressed his advantage.

In the rear, Osler continuously attacked Ma Hongjun while circling around him. There was a full soul ring's difference between Ma Hongjun and Osler, leaving Ma Hongjun completely unable to resist.

Helpless, he could only consume the Flying Mushroom Sausage made by Oscar's third soul skill together with Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

The Flying Mushroom Sausage allowed them to fly for a short time, avoiding Osler's attacks from the ground.

But despairingly, the Imperial Fighting Team also had Yu Feng, an Agility Type Soul Master with a Flying Martial Soul.

Yu Feng was also a Soul Elder, and Ma Hongjun was no match for him either.

Elsewhere, Zhu Zhuqing swiftly changed targets after failing to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and attacked Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan immediately moved in front of Ye Lingling and spewed out a wide swath of poisonous mist, sealing off every route Zhu Zhuqing could take.

Osler also changed targets and rushed over to support them.

"Damn it, are we going to lose?"

Tang San gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept it.

Watching Dai Mubai get driven back step by step by Yu Tianheng, then looking at Xiao Wu fighting Shi Mo and Shi Mo, two defensive-type Soul Elders, all by herself, Tang San was enraged.

At that moment, he had forgotten Tang Hao and Grandmaster's warnings.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Tang San swiftly closed in. In Yu Tianheng's astonished gaze, a black hammer suddenly appeared in Tang San's hand and smashed directly into Yu Tianheng's face.

"Bang!"

Yu Tianheng's face was smashed bloody, and his mind went blank.

"What was that? A Martial Soul? A hammer?"

Before Yu Tianheng could react, Tang San's hands sent out a dazzling barrage of Hidden Weapons.

Poison needles and throwing darts struck Yu Tianheng one after another.

The rules of the Great Soul Arena were not as strict as those of the Youth Soul Master Tournament. Contestants were allowed to carry ordinary weapons, and Tang San's Hidden Weapons could roughly be considered a type of weapon.

Faced with Tang San's relentless attacks, Yu Tianheng could only use his Dragon Transformation right arm to defend himself.

This gave Dai Mubai a chance to catch his breath, and he turned to attack Yu Tianheng's weaker side.

At that moment, Tang San switched back to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and bound Yu Tianheng, preventing him from dodging.

But Yu Tianheng suddenly smiled and grabbed Tang San's Blue Silver Grass with his backhand.

"Finally caught you. Thunderous Might!"

As his words fell, massive amounts of lightning erupted from Yu Tianheng's body.

Yu Tianheng had noticed long ago that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was covered in mucus, an excellent conductor of electricity. So he had played along and come up with this method.

Lightning traveled incredibly fast. Tang San did not have time to sever the Blue Silver Grass before he was struck. His entire body went numb, and he fell stiffly to the ground.

From his fallen perspective, Tang San saw that Fatty in the air had already been defeated by Yu Feng, while Oscar and Ning Rongrong were in grave danger.

Below, Zhu Zhuqing struggled under the joint assault of Osler and Dugu Yan. Zhu Zhuqing's speed had truly become incredibly fast through training, but Dugu Yan's poisonous mist restrained her too severely, leaving her less and less room to move.

Xiao Wu was facing the attacks of the Shi Mo brothers. Their Martial Souls possessed extremely high defensive power, and Xiao Wu could not break through their defenses at all. After attacking for so long without success, the two found an opening. Their shield armor began spinning and slashed toward Xiao Wu's advancing calf.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing this, Tang San desperately tried to take out his trump-card Hidden Weapons—the Dragon Beard Needles and the Godly Zhuge Crossbow—but his entire body was paralyzed by lightning, leaving him unable to move.

At the critical moment, Tang San saw the incomparably sturdy spectator stands split apart. Countless enormous trees grew forth, and every battle was forcibly halted by the crushing pressure of the trees.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Osler were all bound by the trees.

Yu Feng, who had been pursuing Ning Rongrong through the air, was also forced to stop attacking.

The Shi Mo brothers were completely entangled by the trees, directly wrapped into two wooden balls.

"The Shrek Team concedes this battle!"

Mu Yuan stepped onto the soul fighting platform and spoke.

He picked up Xiao Wu. Her situation had been far too dangerous just now. Her calf had faced attacks from two Soul Elders, and she could very well have suffered serious injuries. That was why Mu Yuan had intervened to stop the soul fight.

Of course, he did not blame the Imperial Fighting Team.

Giving one's all in battle was itself a form of respect for one's opponent.

Thus, Mu Yuan merely restrained the Imperial Fighting Team members without harming them.
