Three-Seven Split: Shattering the Shrek Seven Devils in Three Seconds

The phenomenon lasted three seconds.

After three seconds, the flames dissipated. Only the scorching air around them proved that what had just happened was no illusion.

All eyes converged.

Spirit Plaza became the sole focus of the entire venue.

Even Bibi Dong, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and Qian Renxue on the high platform unconsciously narrowed their gazes, staring fixedly at the flames in the arena that were about to vanish.

As the firelight faded, something utterly shocking happened.

Aside from Tang San, all of the Shrek Seven Devils were unconscious on the ground. Xiao Wu lay before Tang San, while Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others were at his feet. The External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, enveloped them. It seemed he had used the Eight Spider Lances to shield them from the heavenly fire.

Yet the Eight Spider Lances, which had undergone multiple evolutions, had been incinerated by eighty percent. Flames still dripped from the broken sections like molten steel.

"Flames Burning the Sky, indeed!"

Tang San's face was as pale as paper. The agony of his Eight Spider Lances being burned away made his entire body tremble. His eyes were now filled with fear and hatred. He could no longer sense his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. "You! You destroyed my Martial Soul!"

The firelight completely faded.

Chen Changfeng's unscathed figure appeared before everyone.

His clothes and hair fluttered without wind.

The overwhelming fiery aura returned to his body. His long crimson hair, turned red from unleashing a divine skill, returned to its ink-black color. Smoke and mist could not come within an inch of him, all dissipating before his Destruction Scepter.

Chen Changfeng still stood in his original spot, without having moved a single step.

"Destroyed?"

Chen Changfeng looked coldly at Tang San and said calmly, "If not for the tournament rules, you would all be dead by now."

"It isn't that my heavenly fire only lasts three seconds. It's that you can only endure it for three seconds."

Indeed.

By Chen Changfeng's calculations, Shrek Academy could withstand Flames Burning the Sky for three seconds. That was entirely thanks to Xiao Wu, the Soft-Boned Charm Rabbit, and her three-second Invincible Golden Body.

It nullified all physical and spiritual attacks.

He simply had not expected Tang San to forcibly endure those three seconds with his mutated Eight Spider Lances. That was somewhat surprising.

But that was all.

As his words fell—

The next second, under countless stunned gazes, the Destruction Scepter slammed into the ground. An irresistible surge of powerful force instantly spread outward.

At the same time, the severely injured Tang San and the others were forcibly blasted away, crashing into the defensive light barrier at the edge of Spirit Plaza like cannonballs.

Their injuries worsened!

Silence!

The entire Spirit Plaza fell silent in an instant. One could hear a pin drop.

What did it mean for an arena filled with hundreds of people to suddenly fall silent? It could only be described as oppressive—or terrifying.

The sight of Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the other four being blasted away by that overwhelming force made the hearts of the teachers and students from every other academy violently twitch. The Healing Type Soul Masters from the Heaven Dou Empire all leaped down onto Spirit Plaza, beams of blazing white light descending upon the six Shrek Devils.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang jumped onto the stage with an ugly expression and shouted unwillingly in a low voice, "Shrek Academy concedes!"

They had lost.

The Shrek Academy team had lost.

And they had lost without even the slightest ability to resist.

Almost everyone understood what Chen Changfeng had meant by his earlier words, "three-seven split." It did not mean he had a thirty percent chance of winning.

Rather—

Within three seconds, he had completely shattered all seven members of the Shrek Academy team. That was the true meaning of a three-seven split.

Shock was no longer enough to describe the emotions of the countless spectators. Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er of the Five Elemental Academies in particular had faces nearly as pale as Tang San's.

Not because they had been frightened.

Rather, the moment Flames Burning the Sky descended, Huo Wu's Flame Shadow had suffered unprecedented suppression, and even her mind had been affected. In that instant, Shui Bing'er had nearly had every drop of water drained from her body, her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul pushed to the brink of collapse.

What kind of flame was that? Its lingering power alone could inflict such tremendous influence and damage upon their minds.

A substitute member of Spirit Academy?

Not even ghosts would believe that!

At the judges' table, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and Ning Fengzhi all looked grim.

Ning Fengzhi in particular.

Ning Fengzhi had long held a position of power, and everything he did was for the growth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Though he loved his daughter, whenever he encountered an exceptionally outstanding young man, Ning Fengzhi would consider sacrificing his daughter's marriage to win him over. But while he thirsted for talent, when faced with a genius he could not recruit and who might threaten his sect, Ning Fengzhi's first consideration would be assassination.

Chen Changfeng's performance had already stirred killing intent in his heart. A twenty-year-old Titled Douluo appearing within Spirit Hall was a fatal threat to the Seven Great Sects.

This final had completely lost its original significance. Spirit Hall had successfully proven one thing to the entire continent: the sect geniuses, academy geniuses, and dark horses you all believed in were nothing before Spirit Hall's true geniuses.

With a single person, Spirit Hall had slapped every faction on the Douluo Continent across the face. This was clearly a forceful display of dominance!

Bibi Dong's gaze was exceptionally fervent.

No one knew what she was thinking.

Yet her calmness gave people a chilling feeling.

Although the match had ended, Bibi Dong seemed unable to pull herself free from the Flames Burning the Sky she had just witnessed.

Still, she was the Pope. She was also the first to regain her senses. She took a deep look at Grandmaster's back on the stage, then turned and nodded to the Red Robe Cult Master referee outside the arena, who stood there dumbfounded, signaling that he could announce the tournament result.

Only then did the Red Robe Cult Master rise to his feet and announce with an extremely unsettled expression, "The champion of this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the Spirit Academy team."

"Boom!!!"

At that moment, another dull explosion rang out.

Everyone's attention returned to Spirit Plaza once more.

Only then did they notice that while Chen Changfeng had blasted Tang San and the other six Devils away, he had left the unconscious Xiao Wu behind.

The explosion had come from beside Xiao Wu.

It was Chen Changfeng again.

He had actually taken the initiative to forcibly knock away Liu Erlong, who had tried to take Xiao Wu with her.

Liu Erlong shouted in shock and fury, "What are you doing?!"

The sudden change startled everyone.

The six Shrek Devils, who had just awakened from unconsciousness, stood in a row. Behind them stood Grandmaster, Flender, and Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.

Every one of them warily prepared themselves against Chen Changfeng.

"You may leave, but she isn't leaving today!" Chen Changfeng's icy voice spread through the entire Spirit Plaza.

What was he doing?

They would find out soon enough.

With that, Chen Changfeng walked straight toward Xiao Wu. Under countless shocked gazes, he unceremoniously lifted her by one hand.

In an instant, everyone was horrified.

"Let Xiao Wu go!"

Tang San shouted lowly and rushed out almost instinctively, charging toward Xiao Wu.

"Courting death!"

Chen Changfeng did not even raise his head. The scepter in his hand trembled again.

A powerful force of Destruction Power shot forth.

This was genuine killing intent.

"Watch out!"

"Third Brother!"

Amid the cries of alarm, Chen Changfeng's attack did not stop. At that crucial moment, an enormous azure-blue sword descended from the sky, blocking Tang San's path and forcibly stopping the Destruction Power outside.

At the same time, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin appeared before Tang San.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Spirit Academy has already won. Why are you doing this?"
