The Shrek Seven Devils gradually felt the effects of the Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison intensify. Dai Mubai shouted, "Zhuqing, get over here."

Zhu Zhuqing understood at once and moved closer to Dai Mubai, while He Qiang intensified his attacks, trying to stop the two from joining up.

At that moment, four enormous Turtle Shell Shields tore through the air, spinning as they closed in around Tang San.

"Xiao Wu." Tang San made a simple gesture. With a leap, Xiao Wu sprang to a position before and above him. Tang San forcefully thrust upward, unleashing Dragon Seizing Strength and launching Xiao Wu like a cannonball.

Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track beneath his feet, Tang San avoided every sharp edge. His palms turned a lustrous jade color as he struck the shield to his left.

Then Tang San struck two more shields in quick succession, using Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to guide the four shields into colliding with one another.

The Shi Family Brothers let out two muffled grunts and forcibly changed the direction of their Turtle Shell Shields, attacking the Blue Silver Grass.

Under the rapid slicing of the Turtle Shell Shields, every strand of Blue Silver Grass connected to the Shrek Seven Devils was severed.

At that moment, Xiao Wu vaulted over the range of the shields and was just about to reach the Shi Family Brothers.

"Xiao Wu, be careful!" Tang San suddenly shouted. At the same time, the third Spirit Rings on the Shi Family Brothers lit up as the Thousand-Year Spirit Ring Skill, Turtle Shell Dance, activated.

Xiao Wu reacted swiftly. Her second and third Spirit Rings lit up simultaneously. She first used her Second Spirit Ability, Charm, on Shi Mo, then used her Third Spirit Ability, Teleportation, to evade.

Every piece of turtle shell shattered into sixteen fragments. Although Xiao Wu dodged the frontal attack, she could not completely avoid it. Struck hard by the shells, she spun several times in midair before falling toward the ground.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's hysterical cry rang out. Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Xiao Wu again and rapidly pulled her back.

As Xiao Wu suffered severe injuries, the Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison flared up even more violently. Tang San quickly tapped several points around her wounds, administering emergency treatment.

The Shi Family Brothers had not wanted to strike so heavily either, but Osler was their teammate. This was the first time in years that one of them had suffered such severe injuries, and they were naturally furious.

The Shi Family Brothers advanced toward Tang San. They knew very well that once they defeated this Control System Soul Master, the outcome would be decided.

"Wind Rises, Clouds Surge." At that moment, Yu Feng's third Spirit Ring lit up. Azure Soul Power transformed into the shape of a bird and lunged straight at Little Fatty.

"Ah..." Little Fatty's ferocity was roused. Even though he was severely poisoned and possessed only Level 29 Spirit Power, he still managed to block the attack by fighting desperately.

"Zhuqing, Hell White Tiger." Dai Mubai let out a resounding tiger roar, and Zhu Zhuqing charged toward him.

Osler reacted quickly. His Third Spirit Ability, Leopard Shadow Clone, activated, splitting a leopard-shaped phantom from his body that charged toward Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's pupils merged. Dai Mubai spread his arms and embraced Zhu Zhuqing's illusory figure.

The auras of the Hell Spirit Cat and Evil-Eyed White Tiger fused. A gigantic white tiger with white fur, black stripes, violet eyes, and double pupils appeared on the arena, coldly watching the incoming attack.

Its right claw lifted gently and slapped at the Leopard Shadow Clone. The leopard-shaped phantom vanished, causing Osler to suffer backlash. Then another claw struck out, knocking Osler unconscious.

But at that moment, He Qiang's second and third Spirit Rings shone. Thunderous Force, empowered by Wrath of Thunder, attacked the Hell White Tiger.

If the Hell White Tiger had still possessed its full combat strength, it would have had nothing to fear from this blow. Unfortunately, the Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison was extremely domineering, leaving them utterly unable to block the attack. They fainted.

Nine Hearts Begonia rapidly healed He Qiang's injuries. Osler could not possibly regain consciousness anytime soon, so it could only rely on him.

But just then, a red glow surfaced in Tang San's eyes. The Eight Spider Lances extended from his spine, carrying a faint purple aura.

"Come down." Tang San fired a green ball of light at Yu Feng, but Yu Feng strangely flew downward, evading the Spider Web Restraint.

Under the overwhelming assault, Little Fatty gradually could no longer hold on. His defeat was only a matter of time. As for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, they were Support-type Soul Masters and physically frailer; they had long since collapsed from the Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison.

Turtle Shell Shields flew in from all directions, closing in around Tang San. Yet at that moment, Osler's body was pulled by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and brought before Tang San.

Back when they had surrounded Osler, Tang San's Second Spirit Ability, Parasitism, had already been planted on him. Even Nine Hearts Begonia could only heal; it could not deal with this situation.

However, what Tang San had not expected was that the Turtle Shell Shields did not change direction. As though they had never intended to attack him head-on, they swept past both of Tang San's sides before exploding behind him.

Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade most of the attack, but his back still suffered serious injuries.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Shi Family Brothers had no Turtle Shell Shields to defend themselves, Tang San used the Eight Spider Lances to leap into the air in an instant, then arrived before them. The Shi Family Brothers were completely unable to withstand the sharpness of the Eight Spider Lances and swiftly fell.

However, at that moment, a Thunder Dragon Claw empowered by Wrath of Thunder struck from behind Tang San. Tang San had no time to turn around and could only use the Eight Spider Lances to block it head-on.

Though the Eight Spider Lances were tough, they still could not withstand He Qiang's full-power strike. Tang San fell, and his faint voice could still be heard: "We... surrender... heal them..."

"No problem, but you have to detoxify them first." As he spoke, He Qiang quickly dragged the Shi Family Brothers over to Tang San.

Tang San could not move at all at that moment. Only after Zheng Bei treated his injuries could he barely move again, whereupon he swiftly drew the poison out of the Shi Family Brothers' bodies.

On the other side, Wang Haochen gave each of the Shrek Seven Devils a medicinal pill, curing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison.

After the poison was removed, Zheng Bei promptly treated everyone's injuries, and they awoke one after another.

"The team battle spirit fight goes to the Imperial Fighting Team!" Host Doudou's voice rang out at just the right moment. He Qiang looked at Dai Mubai, then at Tang San, and said, "You truly are strong. Today's battle cannot be counted as a complete victory for us. If you hadn't detoxified us, the Shi Family Brothers might have died here." With that, He Qiang bowed to the Shrek Seven Devils.

"I hope we can compete again someday." Dai Mubai sincerely admired He Qiang as well. As the leader of the Imperial Fighting Team, he was not arrogant. He remained calm in danger, commanded properly, and turned the tide at the crucial moment, stopping Tang San's outburst. Otherwise, it was still uncertain who would have won.

"See you at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament." He Qiang smiled and led the Imperial Fighting Team toward the Soul Master entrance.

Inside the VIP lounge.

"What do you think of this battle?" He Qiang asked.

"It was extremely dangerous, a narrow escape from death," Osler said. "They were exceptional in both tactics and reaction speed. They even managed to inflict severe injuries on me."

"Luckily, the captain seemed able to foresee things. He prevented them from breaking through Yanzi's snake poison, then analyzed every move they might make and countered them one by one. Otherwise, we really might have lost this battle." Yu Feng had completely lost his usual joking manner and spoke seriously.

"Even so, we nearly lost. Even the Shi Family Brothers almost died." He Qiang pondered. "Asura of a Thousand Hands... In the future, I'll have to see whether I can defeat you."
