Tang San Despaired!

On the other side of the martial arts arena, the five members of Blue Silver Academy had long been waiting.

Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Shi Mo, and Shi Pan.

The five of them stood in silence, their presence as heavy and steady as a mountain.

Chen Xuan and Ah Yin remained in the same seats as yesterday, sipping fragrant tea as if the impending fierce battle were nothing more than a scripted play.

"Both sides, state your names."

The referee, a teacher from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, wiped sweat from his brow as he looked between the two teams.

"Shrek Academy."

Dai Mubai stepped forward.

On the other side, Dugu Yan stepped up.

"Blue Silver Academy."

"Dugu Yan, level 58 Power Attack System Battle Soul King."

As the words "Soul King" echoed, the sparse crowd on the sidelines erupted into an uproar.

Yesterday they knew Dugu Yan was strong, but they never expected her to be a Soul King!

A Soul King who looked less than twenty years old?

It was simply unheard of!

Ignoring the exclamations, Dugu Yan continued the introductions.

"Ye Lingling, level 46 Healing System Soul Ancestor."

"Shi Mo, level 47 Defense System Battle Soul Ancestor."

"Shi Pan, level 47 Defense System Battle Soul Ancestor."

Aside from Dugu Yan, who held the highest Soul Power, the other four members of Blue Silver Academy were also at impressive levels.

Dai Mubai and the others felt a slight sense of relief.

As long as they could contain Dugu Yan, they might still have a fighting chance.

Grandmaster, standing off the field, furrowed his brows tightly.

Something was wrong.

Chen Xuan's arrangements would never be this simple.

"Team battle, begin!"

Following the referee's command, the battle erupted instantly!

"Brothers, charge!"

Dai Mubai let out a tiger's roar and was the first to rush forward.

"White Tiger Protection Barrier! White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind, her figure dissolving into a series of afterimages.

"Hell Stab!"

Their target was aimed directly at the core of the opposing formation: Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling!

Capture the leader to capture the bandits; disabling the opponent's support and healer first was common sense in team battles!

"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring!"

Ma Hongjun also took to the air, spewing scorching phoenix flames to cover Dai Mubai's charge.

"First Soul Skill, Recovery Big Sausage! Second Soul Skill, Detoxification Small Sausage!"

Oscar stood in the rear, rapidly producing supplies.

Tang San remained in place, blue light flickering within his eyes.

"Blue Silver Prison!"

Countless thick stalks of Blue Silver Grass erupted from the ground. They were not aimed at the opponents, but rather formed footholds and cover along the path of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's charge, simultaneously restricting the enemy's movement space.

In an instant, Shrek displayed the seamless coordination of a true team!

However, Blue Silver Academy's response exceeded everyone's expectations.

Facing the assault of Shrek's three Power Attack System Soul Masters, the brothers Shi Mo and Shi Pan merely took a silent step forward.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Basalt Wall!"

"Third Soul Skill, Gravity Control!"

A massive tortoise-shell shield rose from the ground, blocking Ma Hongjun's phoenix flames.

At the same time, an invisible gravity field instantly enveloped Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing!

The speed of the two suddenly stalled!

"Now! Hell White Tiger!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and unleashed their strongest trump card without hesitation!

Amidst a brilliant radiance, a massive white tiger over eight meters in length appeared out of thin air!

Its terrifying aura even faintly surpassed the limits of a Spirit King!

"Roar--!"

The Hell White Tiger let out a roar and slammed a claw toward the Basalt Wall.

"Boom--!"

Amidst the deafening crash, cracks appeared on the Basalt Wall, but in the end, it still blocked the strike!

The brothers Shi Mo and Shi Pan turned pale, yet they held their ground firmly.

Held them off!

Dai Mubai felt a surge of joy.

As long as they could stall these two defense-types, Tang San and Xiao Wu would find their opening!

However, at that very moment.

A figure ghosted around the front of the battlefield and appeared on the flank of the Shrek formation.

It was Dugu Yan.

Her target, from the very beginning, was not Dai Mubai, nor was it Ma Hongjun.

It was Tang San!

"Seven Treasures turn out a Glazed Tile!"

Ning Rongrong's voice rang out at the perfect moment.

"First: Power! Second: Speed! Third: Spirit! Fourth: Defense! Fifth: Attack!"

Five brilliant rays of light landed precisely upon Dugu Yan.

Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, fifth spirit ring, attack boost!

In an instant, Dugu Yan's aura surged to a truly terrifying level!

"Tang San, your opponent is me."

Dugu Yan's voice drifted over, eerie and cold.

A sense of alarm flared in Tang San's heart, and he unleashed his spirit skills without hesitation.

"Second Spirit Skill: Parasite!"

"Third Spirit Skill: Spider Web Restraint!"

Countless Blue Silver Grass seeds scattered toward Dugu Yan, while a massive spider web descended from above!

Facing the control skills that had made Tang San famous, a trace of mockery appeared on Dugu Yan's face.

"In front of a true sovereign, these are nothing but a joke."

"Fifth Spirit Skill: Serpent Python Swallows Heaven!"

"Fourth Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorus Divine Light!"

The massive phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared once again!

It opened its maw and inhaled sharply, actually drawing the entire sky full of spider webs and Blue Silver Grass seeds into its mouth!

At the same time, two emerald rays of light shot from Dugu Yan's eyes, striking straight at Tang San!

Petrification!

Tang San felt his body stiffen; his legs instantly lost all sensation, turning into gray, stony matter!

"Oh no!"

Tang San's expression changed drastically.

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu cried out in alarm. Without hesitation, she activated Teleportation, appearing in front of Tang San while simultaneously unleashing her second spirit skill.

"Charm!"

Xiao Wu's eyes turned a seductive shade of pink.

However, with her spirit power boosted by Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan's mental strength was immense.

She merely narrowed her eyes, and Xiao Wu's light of Charm shattered instantly.

"Overestimating yourself."

Dugu Yan snorted coldly, and the serpent emperor phantom lashed its tail violently.

"Bang!"

Xiao Wu was struck as if by a high-speed soul-guided train; she let out a miserable shriek, flew backward, and crashed into the distance, falling unconscious.

A single move, an instant kill!

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San's eyes were split with rage.

He frantically circulated his Mysterious Heaven Skill, attempting to break through the petrification effect within his body, but that energy was incredibly bizarre, continuously eroding his soul power.

"Your opponent is me."

Dugu Yan walked slowly toward Tang San, emerald-green poisonous mist swirling around her body.

"I forgot to tell you, my Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison has evolved."

"Now, it is called... Jade Phosphorous Emperor Poison."

"It is specifically designed to suppress all plant-type martial souls."

"..."

As she spoke, Tang San discovered in horror that the Blue Cloud Grass under his feet, which he had been controlling, was actually beginning to wither and decay!

His martial soul was being suppressed!

It was not just the bloodline suppression from Ah Yin.

There was also the toxicity suppression coming from Dugu Yan!
