Shi Nian made his move
Tang San hurriedly asked, "Where is Dad?"
Tai Tan shook his head. "This old servant doesn't know where Master is either, but he must be secretly observing Young Master's behavior."
"Perhaps the Master will appear soon; perhaps after the Preliminary Round, or perhaps even later."
"Young Master, you must remember, your Master has never abandoned you. He is simply unable to show himself due to certain matters."
"Dean Flender was right about one thing: even if you lose two matches in a row, it won't affect your chances of advancing."
"Whether for your own sake or for your Master's, please take the upcoming matches Young Master and strive to advance steadily from the Preliminary Round, okay?"
After some words of encouragement, Tang San felt much better.
Upon careful consideration, it's clear that we shouldn't let a single loss jeopardize our excellent chances of advancing.
Today's match against the Wind Fire Team has been forfeited, so we won't discuss it for now. As long as they play well in the following matches, they will get every point they deserve. Even if they lose to the Tianshui Team and Thunder Team later, they still have a very high chance of advancing.
If they can win against either the Tianshui Team or Thunder Team, they will definitely advance.
"But Senior Tai Tan, I truly don't know how to persuade everyone. If I could cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, I have confidence..."
Tai Tan interrupted again, "Young Master, cultivating Twin Martial Souls isn't that easy. Even if your Master isn't here, you should at least ask your teacher, shouldn't you?"
Although he disapproved of Yu Xiaogang's character, he acknowledged the man's intelligence.
Tang San went to find Yu Xiaogang, while Tai Tan went to the Shrek Seven Devils ' Rest Room to give them guidance as an elder.
Upon hearing that he needed to cultivate Twin Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat. "Little San, are you serious?"
"Remember what I told you? The first Twin Martial Souls Soul Master in nearly a century died because he cultivated two Martial Soul simultaneously, causing a conflict between the two Soul Power within his body. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"
There are precedents for successfully cultivating Twin Martial Souls; his former lover, Bibi Dong, is a living example.
Bibi Dong added the spirit rings to her Second Martial Soul soul only after she had acquired multiple Soul Ring Soul Ring for her First Martial Soul.
This is why Yu Xiaogang only considered adding Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer after Tang San broke through to Level 90.
Unfortunately, he left the Spirit Hall too early and never learned the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls from Bibi Dong.
He had no confidence in cultivating at this moment.
Undeterred, Tang San continued, "But teacher, you've seen the Seven Treasures Team's strength. If I can't cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer, how can I win the upcoming matches?"
Yu Xiaogang acknowledged the power of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, but would he dare to disobey Tang Hao's wishes?
His story was exactly the same as Tai Tan's. "Little San, this matter is of great importance; I need your father's approval."
Let's finish the Preliminary Round first.
As he spoke, he gently patted Tang San's shoulder, "I know yesterday's defeat was a big blow to you, but you can't give up on your excellent chance to advance."
"At least, you won't encounter Seven Treasures Team again Preliminary Round Stage."
"We'll talk about other things later."
Tang San nodded and said no more.
Indeed, finishing the Preliminary Round is the most important thing.
Moreover, he will have a month to rest after the competition before discussing whether to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
When the master and apprentice returned to the Rest Room, Tai Tan had already successfully persuaded everyone.
At this point, the Shrek Seven Devils were still not in high spirits, but they had at least regained the courage to fight again.
Seeing this, Tang San stopped talking about yesterday's events and started looking to the future.
"Keep your spirits up for tomorrow's match against Canghui Academy Team. Don't forget the insults they gave us at the Opening Ceremony."
In this situation, shifting the blame is undoubtedly the best course of action.
As expected, the Shrek team members were all quite excited, their previous gloom dispelled, and they were full of confidence for the upcoming matches.
These past few days, Shi Nian has been busy.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to take action against the Seven Treasures Team, but when he noticed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's experts were secretly protecting them, he abandoned the idea. As a result, the Canghui Academy Team directly chose to concede defeat in their previous match against the Seven Treasures Team.
In the Heaven Dou Empire region, there is more than one qualifying spot in the Preliminary Round. Just because he doesn't target the Seven Treasures Team doesn't mean he won't target other Battle Team.
The Wind Fire Team and the Skywater Team are backed by powerful families, and there is also the influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
While the Elephant Armor Team and the Thunder Team are certainly not weak, they are backed by extremely powerful sects. However, Shi Nian is confident that with the strength of the Canghui Academy Team, they can easily deal with the simple-minded Elephant Armor Team and the Reorganized Wind Fire Team.
Shrek Team will be playing against the Canghui Academy tomorrow.
To ensure the success of the competition, Tang San rushed to the arena to assess the strength of the Canghui Academy.
Since he was traveling alone, he unsurprisingly caught the eye of Shi Nian.
Despite Shrek Academy suffering two consecutive losses, many still believe they can successfully advance from the Preliminary Round.
Since the aforementioned Battle Team cannot be touched, the fifth team qualified to advance, Shrek Team, becomes his primary target for elimination.
Without the blessing of the Wangchuan Autumn Dew, Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes realm did not improve.
The Purple Demon Eyes, which is said to dispel all illusions, is completely ineffective against Spirit Attack from Soul Saint level.
Guided by Shi Nian, Tang San noticed nothing unusual and walked straight out of Heaven Dou City.
In the shadows, with Dugu Bo's presence concealed, Wu Qi and his companion remained undetected, observing the scene from the perspective of bystanders.
"Little guy, you have a grudge against Tang San, why not use Shi Nian to kill him?"
Dugu Bo spoke expressionlessly.
He had already seen through the true colors of the father and son when he fought Tang Hao earlier.
Although Tang San's Talent is not as great as Wu Qi's, if he is allowed to grow unchecked, he will surely become a major threat!
Wu Qi shook his head.
Killing Tang San would certainly be satisfying, but since he was able to reincarnate in the Douluo Continent, he might be able to reincarnate again.
Currently, Tang San is still in the open. If he were to reincarnate again and lie dormant in the world, wouldn't that create a situation where the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light?
If that's the case, why bother with all that?
"Shi Nian kills Tang San, and then we kill Shi Nian, do you think Tang Hao will blame us for it?"
"A madman is capable of anything; we cannot relinquish the initiative to him!"
"Besides, even if Tang San breaks through to become Titled Douluo or even Super Douluo in the future, do you think I can't handle him?"
Looking at his confident demeanor, Dugu Bo sighed and had to admit that what he said made sense.
"Alright, whatever you say, I'll do. Maximizing my profits is the best I can achieve. Anyway, I'm determined to have this Soul Bone."
Wu Qi gestured for them to follow slowly. If we make a move in the city, we'll be in trouble too.
