Tang San: Big Brother Is the Strongest! Qian Renxue's Invitation

Though she had cursed Yu Xiaogang ten thousand times in her heart.

Qian Renxue still cupped her hands politely on the surface.

"I have long admired the Grandmaster's renowned name. Now that I have met you, your bearing is indeed extraordinary."

Yu Xiaogang was holding a teacup at the time.

Hearing the Crown Prince's praise, he was not overwhelmed with flattery like Flender.

Instead, he merely nodded faintly, putting on the air of a reclusive master.

"Your Highness overpraises me. It is only an empty reputation."

At that moment, he felt his aura had reached its peak.

Even the Crown Prince treated him so courteously. What did that mean?

It meant knowledge was power!

Standing nearby, Yu Tianheng's pupils suddenly contracted when he saw Yu Xiaogang.

That was his uncle!

The uncle whom the family regarded as a disgrace, yet who remained a figure of controversy!

"I never expected... he would be leading the team."

Yu Tianheng's heart sank.

"With him here, this team's tactical arrangements definitely won't be simple."

At this moment, Qin Ming could finally no longer hold himself back and strode forward.

He bowed deeply to Flender, his eyes slightly red.

"Headmaster! Long time no see!"

"Qin Ming?!"

Flender froze, then was immediately overjoyed.

Flender pulled Qin Ming up and patted his shoulder forcefully.

"You brat! You've done well for yourself! You're already leading the Imperial Fighting Team?"

Qin Ming smiled somewhat sheepishly.

Then he looked at the Imperial Fighting Team members behind him before glancing at the Shrek group.

Half-jokingly and half-seriously, he said,

"Headmaster, although I've missed you greatly, I'm afraid I'll have to let my juniors taste defeat today."

"My students are very strong."

Flender pushed up his glasses, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, you little brat, that's quite a mouth you've got."

"You want to beat my Little Monsters? Not in another ten thousand years!"

At that moment, Yu Feng, who had remained silent all this time, could not help but interject.

"Hey, I heard you have someone named Lin Chuan too?"

"I heard he's powerful. Why don't I see him?"

"..."

Ning Rongrong pointed toward Lin Chuan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the corner.

"Isn't he over there? That is our team-leading teacher, Teacher Lin Chuan."

Ning Rongrong sounded extremely admiring as she introduced him.

Everyone's gaze instantly focused on Lin Chuan.

That made Qian Renxue somewhat curious.

She knew Ning Rongrong's true nature. The refined lady act was just an act.

For even Ning Rongrong to admire someone so much, he had to be quite remarkable.

Qian Renxue's expression tightened.

So young? He looked only twelve or thirteen.

And he was actually the team-leading teacher?

Lin Chuan slowly opened his eyes and swept his gaze over everyone.

He gave Qian Renxue an intrigued glance. If he had not known the truth beforehand, he never would have imagined that the Crown Prince was disguised.

"The Imperial Fighting Team?"

"Looks like nothing special."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

"Arrogant!"

Yu Feng gritted his teeth in fury.

Dugu Yan was so angry her teeth itched as well!

Yu Tianheng could not help frowning.

Still, the battle would begin soon enough. There was no need to argue over this now.

He only hoped the Shrek Seven Devils could give him a satisfying fight!

On the arena stage, the lights converged.

The members of both sides faced off, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

From the audience stands, cheers thundered deafeningly.

"Imperial Fighting Team! Imperial Fighting Team! Crush them!"

"Let these country bumpkins learn the difference between heaven and earth!"

Inside the VIP box.

Qian Renxue elegantly held a glass of red wine, her gaze sweeping across the arena.

Qin Ming stood behind her and explained with complete confidence.

"Your Highness, there is no suspense in this battle."

"The Imperial Fighting Team's lineup is among the best on the entire continent."

"Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon leads the offense, the Shi Brothers' Black Tortoise handles the defense, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison controls the field, and Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia provides undying healing..."

"This is an unbeatable lineup."

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression proud.

"Hmph, so what if their lineup is luxurious? Without coordination or adaptability, they are nothing but a scattered mass of sand."

He turned to Lin Chuan and said,

"Lin Chuan, watch carefully."

"This is the tactical literacy I have taught them."

"Xiao San will show you what it means to defeat the strong with the weak."

Lin Chuan cracked sunflower seeds and nodded perfunctorily.

"Mm-hm. The Grandmaster is right."

The battle began!

Boom!

Yu Tianheng struck first, unleashing his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Possession and Thunderbolt!

"First soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

A massive lightning dragon claw carrying an aura of destruction lunged straight at Dai Mubai!

"White Tiger Body Protection Barrier!"

Dai Mubai refused to be outdone and met it head-on!

Bang!

Both men retreated at the same time. They were evenly matched!

Qin Ming was slightly startled.

"Dai Mubai's Soul Power is clearly lower than Tianheng's, yet he actually blocked a frontal strike?"

Immediately afterward, the Imperial Fighting Team displayed their powerful suppression.

Dugu Yan's purple poison surged forth, instantly covering half the arena.

"Poison? Hmph!"

Tang San sneered and pulled out two wineskins from his waist, filled with realgar wine and strong liquor.

"Fatty! Light it!"

Boom!

Flames shot into the air, instantly dispersing the poisonous mist!

Dugu Yan's expression changed. "How is this possible? My Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison was actually broken?"

Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin smugly beneath the stage.

"Knowledge. This is the power of knowledge. Though Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison is tyrannical, it has a cure."

Qin Ming's expression became somewhat unsightly. In the first exchange, the Imperial Fighting Team had actually suffered a hidden loss.

However, the Imperial Fighting Team's raw strength was still there.

The Shi Brothers stood like two mountains, blocking every attack.

Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia was even more impossible to counter. A ray of white light descended, and Yu Tianheng, who had been slightly injured just moments ago, instantly returned to full strength.

The situation reversed in an instant!

The Shrek Seven Devils fell into a bitter battle.

Dai Mubai was suppressed by Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu was harassed by Yu Feng, and Ma Hongjun's flames could not burn through the Black Tortoise's defense at all.

Qin Ming let out a sigh of relief and turned to smile at Flender.

"Headmaster, it seems the gap in strength is simply too great. Nine Heart Begonia is invincible at this level."

Having said that, he finally revealed his true intention and spoke sincerely.

"Headmaster, Shrek's conditions are limited, after all."

"These children are so gifted. If they could come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

"I can guarantee them the best resources, and even have the Grandmaster serve as their chief adviser!"

Flender's expression darkened, but he said nothing.

Yu Xiaogang merely snorted.

"The battle isn't over yet. Xiao San hasn't even begun to exert himself."

On the arena stage, Tang San looked at his disadvantaged teammates, yet his gaze remained exceptionally calm.

Lin Chuan's words echoed through his mind.

"Xiao San, you're a control-system Spirit Master, but who says a control-system Spirit Master can't be an assassin?"

"Your Mysterious Jade Hand, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon aren't for performing tricks. They're for killing!"

Now!

Purple light blazed in Tang San's eyes—Purple Demon Eye!

In an instant, he spotted a tiny gap in the Shi Brothers' defense.

"Mubai! Attack the front with everything you've got!"

"Xiao Wu! Prepare to teleport!"

Boom!

Dai Mubai charged toward Yu Tianheng like a madman, drawing all the firepower.

Just as the Imperial Fighting Team thought Shrek was about to risk everything, Tang San moved.

But instead of retreating, he moved—forward!

A control-system Spirit Master did not stay in the rear, but charged forward without hesitation?

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track erupted at full power, turning his entire body into an afterimage.

He actually passed straight through the Shi Brothers' defensive line and lunged at Ye Lingling in the rear!

"What?!"

Yu Tianheng was horrified.

"Stop him!!"

Yu Feng wanted to fall back and defend, but Zhu Zhuqing held him down tightly.

Osler wanted to intercept him, but Ma Hongjun forced him back with a burst of Phoenix Fire Line.

Tang San advanced as though no one was there!

"Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!"

His hands seemed to possess a strange suction force.

He directly tore the panicked Ye Lingling out of the protective circle!

"Third soul skill, Spider Web Restraint!"

Smack!

A massive poisonous web instantly wrapped Ye Lingling up like a rice dumpling and threw her straight off the arena!

Nine Heart Begonia was out!

The entire venue erupted!

"Holy shit?! That worked? A control-system Spirit Master charged right into their faces?"

"What kind of tactic is this? Assassin-style control?"

Without their healer, the Imperial Fighting Team was like a tiger with its fangs pulled.

Ning Rongrong seized the opportunity, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone brilliantly.

"Seven Treasures Famous: first, strength; second, speed!"

The Shrek Seven Devils' momentum surged!

Xiao Wu teleported and knocked Dugu Yan unconscious with the Eight-Stage Throw!

Dai Mubai's White Tiger Meteor Shower carpet-bombed the field!

In just a few minutes, the situation had undergone a shocking reversal!

As Yu Tianheng fell unwillingly, the host's trembling voice rang out:

"The winners—the Shrek Seven Devils!!"

Inside the lounge, there was dead silence.

Qin Ming's face was pale with disbelief.

They had lost?

The Imperial Fighting Team, with every member at peak configuration, had lost?

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt every pore in his body open up. Amazing! This felt incredible!

With his hands behind his back and his chin raised to the sky, he said coolly to Qin Ming:

"Teacher Qin, is this the pride of Imperial Heaven Academy?"

"It seems that possessing a powerful Martial Soul alone is not enough."

"Without proper theoretical guidance, even the greatest talent is wasted."

At that moment, he felt like he had won everything.

Qin Ming was overcome with shame and lowered his head without a word.

Tang San walked over to Yu Tianheng, who was lying on the ground, and pulled him up.

He spoke gently and sincerely:

"Actually, you're all very strong."

"If Brother Lin Chuan had taken the field today..."

"You probably wouldn't have lasted even a minute."

"What?!"

Yu Tianheng's pupils shook.

One person? One minute?

Qian Renxue heard those words from afar, and unprecedented excitement filled her eyes.

She suddenly turned her head and stared fixedly at the young man in the corner, who still wore a calm expression.

A genius like Tang San held him in such high esteem?

One person taking on the entire Imperial Fighting Team?

Just what kind of monster was this Lin Chuan?

She took a deep breath and adjusted her appearance.

Then she slowly walked up to Lin Chuan, a perfect, captivating smile appearing on her face:

"Mr. Lin Chuan, do you have time after the match? Qinghe would like to have a word with you."

Yu Xiaogang's smile froze on his face.

Why wasn't the Crown Prince inviting me?

I'm clearly the team leader!!

Looking at Qian Renxue's expression, if Lin Chuan hadn't known that the Crown Prince was in disguise, he would have thought this person liked men!

That expression made his butt clench!
