Tang San Injures Himself

Tang San Injures Himself

Long Chen and Dugu Bo watched the Soul Fighting Platform in silence.

The two teams entered from opposite sides of the platform and headed toward its center.

The Imperial Fighting Team was on the left.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan walked side by side at the front of the group, followed by the Shi Family Brothers, then Osler and Yu Feng. Ye Lingling brought up the rear.

The Shrek Seven Devils Team was on the right.

The Shrek Seven Devils all wore matching black outfits and identical green masks.

Even so, Long Chen could still tell who was who by their builds and hair colors.

The tallest member at the front of the group was Dai Mubai.

Tang San and Xiao Wu followed close behind.

The fattest one, with red hair, was Ma Hongjun.

The one slightly taller than Tang San was Oscar.

Of the two girls at the back, the one with the better figure was Zhu Zhuqing; the other was Ning Rongrong.

Seeing them enter, Dugu Bo smiled.

"Xiao Chen, they all look so young. Are they really as strong as you said?"

"Brother Bo, you're judging by appearances. I don't look old either. Who'd believe my Soul Power has already reached Level Forty-Seven?"

"Haha, you have a point. Let's keep watching."

Under the VIPs' watchful eyes, all fourteen contestants slowly made their way onto the central Soul Fighting Platform.

Several major nobles had specifically invited the Imperial Fighting Team to the Suotuo Great Soul Arena to compete.

They had placed heavy bets on the Imperial Fighting Team in its previous matches and made quite a bit of money.

They had placed heavy bets on today's match as well, hoping the Imperial Fighting Team would win.

At the host's announcement, all fourteen contestants released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

Brilliant Soul Ring lights intertwined across the platform, stunning all the VIPs.

Every one of the fourteen contestants had the optimal Soul Ring Configuration.

Such a sight was uncommon in Team Battle competitions.

At the host's signal, the Soul Fighting match began.

On the Imperial Fighting Team's side,

the Shi Family Brothers stood shoulder to shoulder like two solid ramparts. Earthen-yellow light shimmered over them as thick tortoiseshell armor instantly covered their bodies, forming an impregnable defense.

Behind them, Yu Tianheng gathered his strength. Soul Power surged around him, and blue-violet lightning burst forth.

With a roar, Yu Tianheng shot forward like a bolt of lightning, charging straight at the Shrek Seven Devils.

He had been far too careless. Advancing alone, he had fallen into the trap the Shrek Seven Devils had laid.

Dai Mubai flashed forward and took the lead.

At the same time, Ma Hongjun moved in from the flank, while Xiao Wu nimbly appeared behind Yu Tianheng.

The three worked together seamlessly, surrounding Yu Tianheng in an instant.

Though Yu Tianheng was powerful, he was caught in a desperate fight against the Shrek Seven Devils' carefully planned assault, made worse by his own carelessness.

Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line, and Xiao Wu's Instant Transmission and Soft Technique intertwined. Yu Tianheng couldn't keep up, and in the end, one attack struck him hard. He spat blood and was sent flying.

Zhu Zhuqing kept Osler occupied.

Yu Feng, who had the advantage of fighting in the air, was entangled by strands of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan glared furiously, her anger rising.

Ignoring Qin Ming's earlier warning, she released her poison. A poisonous mist spread toward the Shrek Seven Devils.

Tang San, however, had been prepared.

He took Realgar Powder and strong liquor from his Soul Tool. Using Dai Mubai's attack and Ma Hongjun's flames, he set the mixture alight and spread it around. The Green Lined Serpent Poison dissipated in the blaze.

Watching from the VIP Room, Dugu Bo frowned at the sight.

"That kid with the Blue Silver Grass has some skill. He neutralized Yanyan's Green Lined Serpent Poison so easily."

Long Chen nodded.

"He does have a few tricks. Yu Tianheng and the others underestimated them."

The two continued watching the match.

While Dugu Yan was launching her poison attack, Ye Lingling seized the opportunity to heal Yu Tianheng.

His injuries had been stabilized for the time being.

He got back to his feet and rejoined the fight.

But Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing joined forces to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hell White Tiger.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon couldn't withstand the Hell White Tiger's attack.

With a thunderous crash, Yu Tianheng was sent flying like a broken kite. He slammed into the platform and lost the ability to fight.

Yu Tianheng wasn't the only one. Osler, the Ghost Leopard Soul Master, was struck by the Hell White Tiger too and lost the ability to fight.

Dugu Bo was startled once again. He murmured to himself,

"So it's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Could those two young people be from..."

The Imperial Fighting Team had lost its strongest fighter, Yu Tianheng.

But after unleashing that powerful attack, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had nearly exhausted their Soul Power and were unable to fight as well.

"The competition isn't over. We can't give up!"

Ye Lingling's voice was soft, yet it rang like thunder and instantly roused her teammates' fighting spirit.

"Lingling's right. We're stronger than they are. There's no way we'll lose!"

After speaking, Dugu Yan launched another attack.

The Shi Family Brothers and Yu Feng followed right behind her.

The Shi Family Brothers' Mysterious Turtle Martial Soul offered more than top-tier defense; it also gave them tremendous strength.

They removed their shells and wielded them as heavy weapons, attacking their opponents.

As the two teams fought fiercely, eight long spider legs suddenly sprouted from Tang San's back, each bristling with sharp barbs.

Dugu Bo was startled once again.

"That kid actually has an External Soul Bone! If I'm not mistaken, it's poisonous."

"Exactly. Dugu Yan and the others are in danger."

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the Shi Family Brothers were struck by Tang San's Spider Venom. Their arms swelled red, and they lost the ability to fight.

Yu Feng was defeated by Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun working together.

Dugu Yan was the only member of the Imperial Fighting Team still able to fight.

The outcome of the match seemed all but decided.

But Dugu Yan had always been stubborn and wouldn't give up easily.

She attacked Tang San again, only for him to hoist her high into the air with his Eight Spider Lances.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo seethed with anger, his eyes brimming with Killing Intent.

Long Chen hurriedly said,

"Brother Bo, hold back. This little scuffle isn't worth you getting involved. Let me handle it."

With that, Long Chen released his Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul in the VIP Room.

The Lute Sound passed through the Crystal Glass and traveled through the Soul Fighting Platform's speakers, instantly spreading throughout the entire Soul Arena.

Then, without warning, a cloud of red-and-white mist appeared above the platform. In the blink of an eye, it coalesced into the phantom of a nine-tailed fox.

Its nine tails swayed gently, accompanied by a series of soft, foxlike cries.

Everyone was stunned by the sight.

Tang San was about to say something when his body suddenly trembled against his will.

His gaze grew unfocused. He gently set Dugu Yan down, then went over to the Shi Family Brothers and used his Eight Spider Lances to cure their poison.

The Shrek members were dumbfounded by Tang San's strange behavior.

But the next sight left them even more stunned.

Tang San raised his Eight Spider Lances high, then drove them viciously into his own body.

The lances pierced several holes through him, and blood instantly stained his clothes.

Yet he seemed like a walking corpse, unable to feel any pain.

As everyone stared in shock, Tang San suddenly turned around and pulled out all eight spider legs. Blood pouring from his wounds and a grimace on his face, he walked toward Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun.
