The Referee, We Surrender!
Seeing that Tai Long had bypassed the two and was heading straight for the rear, Jing Ling and Huang Yuan launched an even more frenzied attack.
Jing Ling was alright. After several encounters with Tang San, he also discovered that the other party had no intention of using any Soul Skill, not even the first three Soul Skill mentioned in the intelligence.
Even without using his Soul Skill, Tang San possesses immense strength and remarkable agility.
Of course, in terms of speed alone, as Agility Attack System Soul Master, he is still faster than his opponent.
However, this Tang San is clearly not comparable to ordinary control-type Soul Master. Fighting him is no less stressful than clashing head-on with a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.
Fortunately, his opponent lacked skills that could directly determine the outcome of the battle. As long as he made the most of his strengths, even if he was hit, he could withstand the attack for a short time thanks to his Skeleton Martial Soul, as the defensive power inherent in his Martial Soul was not weak.
But the situation is not so optimistic for Huang Yuan.
In terms of Martial Soul strength, he is weaker than Dai Mubai, not to mention that the latter is also stronger than him in terms of Soul Power and Soul Skill amplification.
The two exchanged Soul Skill repeatedly, and with their fists and feet clashing, Huang Yuan was constantly being pushed back.
If he hadn't received the healing skill from the Jiang Zhu right at the start of the game, he probably would have been forced to leave the field after one round of skill exchanges.
Even so, he is now barely managing to hold on.
Because Dai Mubai on the other side had gone mad for some unknown reason, his fighting style was equally fierce, and the malice in his evil eyes was even stronger than theirs.
Relying on the defensive amplification provided by his first and Third Soul Skill Soul Skill, he almost completely abandoned defense, even forcing himself to attack despite taking damage from Huang Yuan.
With the amplification of the treatment, Huang Yuan could only exchange injuries with his opponent. The clothes on both of them were so badly damaged that they were unrecognizable, and the blood stained the ground of the arena.
After a brief silence, the venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
This is the opening match! It's already more exciting than the previous round-robin tournaments. The spilled blood is stimulating everyone's brains, driving them into a frenzy.
As for the specific grudges between the two teams, apart from a few people, the audience doesn't care.
On the stands, Xue Ye was somewhat surprised.
The participants in this year's competition gave him a completely different feeling than in previous years.
Seeing his confusion, Xue Qinghe turned her head and whispered a few words.
After listening to the Crown Prince's explanation, Xue Ye finally understood, nodded, and glanced thoughtfully at Yu Yuanzhen, who had no expression.
Han Li also turned his head to look in Ning Fengzhi's direction.
"No wonder Sovereign Ning let his daughter join the Royal Fight Second Team as well; his sense of smell is truly keen."
Hearing his words, Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment, not realizing what he was referring to.
Upon hearing his words, everyone in the stands turned their attention to him.
Han Li smiled, not playing the riddle-maker, and pointed to Tang San, who was still fighting in the arena.
"If I'm not mistaken, this control-type Soul Ancestor named Tang San is no ordinary person. He used two Self-Created Soul Skill right off the bat. He's truly a genius."
"Besides his immense strength, he can contend with an agility-type Soul Ancestor with just two Self-Created Soul Skill without using his Martial Soul. Congratulations, Sovereign Ning! Oh, and congratulations, Your Majesty as well."
It seems that only at the very end did Han Li remember that the student he mentioned was the captain of the Royal Fight Second Team, and he added Xue Ye to the mix at the last minute.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the stands became strange.
On the arena, Tang San used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Dragon Catching Crane Control, which were actually quite concealed.
Most of the time, he conceals his movements, only using them when he has no other choice or when launching certain attacks.
In the eyes of others, he was just a little quick to react, but with Han Li's reminder, everyone looked at him with a magnifying glass.
This observation, well, you know what?
Based on their experience, they quickly realized that Han Li was right. Although Tang San tried his best to hide it, they still discovered the clues.
His footwork and his techniques for guiding the direction of attacks in battle are both quite skillful and extremely well-suited to his style.
Now, everyone's gaze toward Tang San became somewhat fervent.
Xue Ye, who had originally focused his attention on Yu Yuanzhen, also subtly turned his gaze toward Ning Fengzhi.
He had wondered before why Ning Fengzhi would be willing to send his precious daughter to an obscure academy.
Even if they are all very talented, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School could simply recruit them directly; there's no need for this.
Now he finally understood that Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, not only wanted the person, but also had his eye on the person's Self-Created Soul Skill.
Fortunately, Xue Qinghe did a good job this time. He is now the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team. It seems that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's recruitment efforts have not been effective.
It will be necessary to have Xue Qinghe remind him to be careful of Ning Fengzhi.
As for Self-Created Soul Skill, he wasn't in a hurry. Although Xue Ye was also envious, she knew that no one would easily reveal such a thing, and there might be some restrictions related to Martial Soul involved.
As long as he's still in the Heaven Dou Empire, that's fine. In the future, we can help him establish a family and serve the empire. Anyway, the Xue Family isn't known for its combat strength. Even if we get him, it's useless if he can't become Titled Douluo.
But we absolutely cannot let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect get it so easily. In recent years, their reach has become increasingly extensive, and even allies must be guarded against.
Xue Qinghe's actions against others may have been influenced by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, but now that he has also connected with Han Li, he needs to carefully manage the situation.
He sighed inwardly; the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire was not so easy to sit on.
Xue Qinghe, while your father can still hold on for a few more years, grow up quickly and become a pillar of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Faced with Han Li's mudslinging, Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, "Han Shengzi has good eyesight. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have discovered that Ning Rongrong's classmate has this talent. I'll have to ask Ning Rongrong about it later."
He didn't explain much. He naturally knew that Tang San had Self-Created Soul Skill, and he even tried to find out more through Ning Rongrong, but then he gave up.
Tang San's ridiculous "Tang Sect" talk was clearly a perfunctory remark that Tang Hao had deliberately taught him to Ning Fengzhi. With the Clear Sky Sect already in place, talking about establishing Tang Sect was just a joke.
However, in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, neither Tang Hao nor Tang San were the kind of people who would stay put, and it was only a matter of time before their identities were exposed.
At that time, Xue Ye's suspicions will naturally be dispelled. Besides, even if he explains, will Xue Ye believe him?
They've been "old friends" for decades; who doesn't know who the other is?
As for the Spirit Hall, to be honest, he even wanted to laugh when he heard Han Li's provocation.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing if Han Li would regret what happened today when he learned Tang San's true identity, and if he would want to slap himself for it.
You have to understand, this was the closest opportunity for their Spirit Hall to find Tang Hao and his son, yet he used it to do such a dirty trick.
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi didn't respond, Han Li smiled and didn't seem to care.
He was just speaking casually, and it was also a prelude to Qian Renxue's subsequent actions; the outcome was not important.
The stands fell silent, while on the arena, although Huang Yuan's side was already bleeding profusely, both sides were actually quite satisfied.
The most pleased of all was Tai Long. After receiving Ning Rongrong's boost, he, who was previously relatively clumsy, now had a decent movement speed.
He was grinning maliciously as he approached the Jiang Zhu, which was retreating continuously but had reached the edge of the Soul Skill's amplification range.
He was very familiar with the skill of the Jiang Zhu and knew that if she left the range, then Jing Ling and Huang Yuan in front would no longer be able to receive the buff.
But if she chooses not to retreat, then when he gets close, what will she, a healing Soul Master, use to withstand his attack? In short, no matter what she chooses, defeat is already inevitable.
He, Tai Long, is now the one controlling the changes on the field.
As for the other four, well, they're still the same as always, always a beat slow to react. They're only now trying to help Jiang Zhu. Don't they think it's too late?
Especially that defensive Soul Master whose Martial Soul is a shield, he didn't know to stand at the forefront with Jing Ling and Huang Yuan, nor did he know to protect Jiang Zhu. Instead, he prioritized protecting the control-type Soul Master he liked. He's hopeless.
While inwardly mocking his former teammate, Tai Long's hands moved swiftly, his fist, imbued with his Soul Skill, slamming fiercely towards Jiang Zhu.
Get out of here.
Then he saw Jiang Zhu, who had looked panicked before, smile at him and say, "Retreat."
While Tai Long was still in a daze, he heard Tang San shout from behind, "Get out of the way!"
But his fist had already been thrown with all his might, and with the combined inertia of speed and power, it wasn't so easy to change direction.
He saw that Jiang Zhu's waist was wrapped with the Martial Soul of the control-type Soul Master from the original team— the Hollow Vine —and it was being pulled backward rapidly.
The defensive-type Soul Master he had been mocking suddenly dispelled his shield Martial Soul, and two astonishing clusters of Soul Power shot out from behind him, hurtling towards him.
At the same time, Hollow Vine were growing rapidly under his feet, hindering his ability to change direction left and right.
Not known for its resilience, the Hollow Vine, which used to break easily, has now become Tai Long's biggest obstacle.
boom
The exploding energy ball struck Tai Tan, blasting him into the air and throwing him backward.
It was only then that Tai Long realized why that guy had made his shield bigger than usual, and why the control-type Soul Master was in the back row—it was all to cover this attack.
Then, he lost consciousness and his body slammed heavily onto the ground.
On the other side, even Huang Yuan, who was covered in wounds, smiled after seeing this scene.
Before Tang San and the others could attack again, the group from the Blue Tyrant Academy exchanged glances, nodded, raised their right hands, looked in the direction of the referee, and shouted, "Referee, we concede."
