Feng Xiaotian vs. Tang San

"Shrek suffered a complete defeat. Skywater Academy claims victory."

As soon as those words were spoken, Shui Wuchen waved his hand and recalled the Articuno, his body vanishing from the Arena.

After returning to Skywater Academy's section, Shui Wuchen noticed Shui Bing'er and the others looking at him with strangely peculiar expressions, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

However, Shui Wuchen did not dwell on it. He merely said to Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, are you feeling better?"

"Brother, I'm fine."

Shui Bing'er shook her head, then covered her mouth and chuckled. "Brother, after that punch of yours, Xiao Wu will probably have a psychological shadow whenever she sees you in the future."

Hearing this, Shui Wuchen was somewhat confused. He had clearly controlled his strength to the point where it would defeat his opponents. Their injuries were also light and would recover before long. How could it leave a psychological shadow?

Could it be because he was too strong, and her Dao Heart had shattered?

Seeing that Shui Wuchen had no reaction, Shui Bing'er did not pursue the topic. Instead, she looked at the Articuno on his shoulder, her eyes flickering.

Brother was already this powerful on his own. If the Articuno was added, just how far had his strength reached now?

And was Brother really only a Soul King?

On the other side, Tang San held Xiao Wu in his arms, his eyes filled with anxiety. "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!"

In her daze, Xiao Wu's consciousness gradually cleared. Looking at Tang San before her, she woke up and instinctively called out, "Third Brother?"

"Xiao Wu, you're finally awake."

Seeing that Xiao Wu had awakened, Tang San was overjoyed. He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and brought Xiao Wu before the Healing Soul Master.

After the Healing Soul Master healed Xiao Wu, Tang San finally let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang and the others also arrived behind Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong was the first to speak. "Third Brother, Xiao Wu, how are your injuries? Shui Wuchen didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Although Shui Wuchen had held back his strength, it had still looked rather terrifying.

Tang San shook his head. "We're fine. Shui Wuchen clearly showed mercy and didn't strike heavily."

"It's good that you're fine. But Shui Wuchen really doesn't know what's good for him. Xiao Wu is so pretty, yet he could still bring himself to hit her. Sooner or later, I'll have Grandfather Jian and Grandfather Gu teach him a lesson."

Ning Rongrong gave a light snort, expressing her dissatisfaction with Shui Wuchen.

How could a man be like that? He did not know how to cherish a delicate beauty at all.

The other Shrek members showed no change in expression upon hearing this. Clearly, in their eyes, this was not a big matter at all.

Only Tang San shook his head slightly. "Rongrong, thank you for your kindness, but I would rather deal with him personally—not only for myself, but also for the promise I made to Xiao Wu."

Tang San had once sworn that he would never allow anyone to hurt Xiao Wu. If anyone dared to violate that, he would repay them tenfold, even a hundredfold.

It was simply that he could not defeat Shui Wuchen yet. To fulfill that promise, he would have to wait until the future.

Hearing Tang San's words, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were moved, especially Ning Rongrong, whose gaze toward Xiao Wu was filled with envy.

Then Ning Rongrong glanced at Oscar among the crowd, feeling somewhat dejected. It would be wonderful if Oscar were like Tang San too.

In the following matches, Skywater Academy continued its winning streak, though Shui Wuchen never took the field again.

As for Shrek Academy, after that battle with Skywater Academy, they likewise did not suffer another defeat. They even defeated Blazing Fire Academy and Lightning Academy, both of which were among the Four Element Academies, allowing Tang San to regain some of his confidence.

It seemed that when he was not facing Shui Wuchen, he was still very strong. After all, even Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, the brother and sister publicly recognized as the finest in the land, had lost to him.

However, Shrek's earlier winning streak seemed to have exhausted their luck. On the second-to-last day, they finally encountered the strongest team besides Skywater Academy—Godwind Academy!

During their battle against Godwind Academy, Shrek lost three consecutive matches at the start, making Flender's expression extremely grim.

"The quality of Godwind Academy's lineup this year is simply absurd. This person is clearly at the bottom of Godwind Academy's team, yet his Soul Power Level is already forty-two. That's on par with the captain-level figures from other academies."

As he said this, Flender gritted his teeth. If only this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament had been held a few years later.

Once his Shrek Seven Devils had grown up, what would Spirit Hall or Godwind Academy amount to? Mere chickens and dogs.

At that time, only Skywater Academy, with Shui Wuchen, would be worthy of contending with them.

Then Flender shook his head and sighed. "Sigh... I wonder where Godwind Academy found all these geniuses."

A Soul Ancestor at the age of twenty had been the graduation standard he once set, as well as his standard for monsters.

But that did not mean he looked down on these Soul Ancestors from Godwind Academy who were just over twenty. As long as these geniuses developed normally, becoming Soul Sages was practically guaranteed. They might even have a sliver of hope of becoming Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo.

"Dean, let me go."

At that moment, Tang San patted Flender on the shoulder and spoke.

Flender looked at Tang San, who had volunteered himself, and nodded. "At this point, this is our only option."

And just as he had expected, after Tang San took the field, Shrek's losing situation immediately began to turn around.

Relying on the combination of Blue Silver Grass's ten-thousand-year fourth ring and the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San easily won back three matches and evened the score.

"Interesting!"

Among Godwind Academy's team, Feng Xiaotian looked at Tang San on the stage and rubbed his chin.

Although Tang San's level was somewhat low compared to his current level, Tang San was still an extremely rare wielder of Twin Martial Souls. Moreover, his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, the legendary weapon Martial Soul known as the number one in the world.

That was enough to arouse his interest in fighting him.

After Tang San defeated another Godwind Academy student, Feng Xiaotian immediately leaped onto the stage. "Tang San, I'll fight you."

"Feng Xiaotian!"

When Tang San saw Feng Xiaotian take the stage, his expression immediately became several degrees more solemn.

After all, Feng Xiaotian was the only person in this tournament who could be mentioned in the same breath as Shui Wuchen, and one of the only two Soul Kings among these Soul Master Academy students.

But in just a moment, Tang San's heart returned to calm. "I also want to witness the prowess of another Soul King besides Shui Wuchen."

He refused to believe that Feng Xiaotian could be as powerful as Shui Wuchen.

With his Twin Martial Souls and the Eight Spider Lances, his External Soul Bone, even against a Soul King, it was not certain that he could not fight!

"You want to witness my prowess?"

Feng Xiaotian smiled faintly. "Then let's see whether you have the skill!"
