Even severing a limb the instant the poison needles entered the body could not stop the toxin from spreading in an instant.
When the King of Hell wanted you dead by the third watch, who dared keep you alive until the fifth?
Tang San had launched them again with an extremely subtle technique. As long as the opponent failed to notice them, she was doomed!
Tang San was ecstatic. Teacher, I've avenged you!
Thinking of That Great One's promise, he imagined himself becoming famous, with glory, wealth, and prosperity pouring in!
The Replica King of Hell's Post shot out soundlessly. As expected of concealed weapons, they were almost impossible to detect!
Yet Shui Bing'er still noticed them. Watching those several objects fly toward her, her third Soul Ring lit up.
"Repelling Ice Ring!"
A ring of icy-blue light abruptly spread from Shui Bing'er's body, immediately sending those concealed weapons flying away.
As luck would have it, they flew straight toward Tailong.
First came the Dragon Whisker Needle piercing his body.
"Aah—"
Tailong let out a pained scream.
His body spasmed violently, and both hands clutched his chest.
The Dragon Whisker Needle twisted and Entanglemented within his body.
Tailong's legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees.
Then came the Replica King of Hell's Post!
Before Tailong could recover from the agony of the Dragon Whisker Needle, the Replica King of Hell's Post had already sunk into his body.
"Young... master..."
Tailong only managed to look at Tang San and say those two words before rapidly turning into a puddle of black pus.
The Battle Soul Platform fell silent for an instant.
Then the spectator stands erupted.
"What just happened?! That guy—how did he turn into a puddle of pus?"
"What kind of Soul Skill caused that? The effect is way too horrifying!"
"No idea. Creepy—too creepy!"
Tang San watched Tailong die before his eyes, and grief overwhelmed him!
"Aahhhhh!"
"You..." Tang San pointed at Shui Bing'er, saying sorrowfully and indignantly, "You're so despicable... You actually deceived us! You launched a sneak attack! Then you used your Soul Skill to knock my concealed weapons away... and hit Tailong with them... You're despicable!"
Shui Bing'er: "..."
So other people were despicable, but using concealed weapons himself was not?
Shui Bing'er could not even be bothered to argue with him. She slapped him across the face.
Tang San's body arched backward, and the back of his head struck the Battle Soul Platform with a dull thud.
Then Shui Bing'er stomped hard on Tang San's chest. A sharp pain tore through his chest, and his limbs immediately began to convulse.
Xiao Wu and the others tried to save Tang San, but Gu Qingbo and the others stopped them. Worst of all, even Skywater Academy's support-type Spirit Masters were so capable in a fight!
"Little San!"
Right before Xiao Wu and the others' eyes, Shui Bing'er directly crippled Tang San's Martial Soul!
"Aahhh!"
Cold sweat poured from Tang San's body, and his face turned deathly pale.
My Martial Soul... is crippled. I'll never be able to become a Spirit Master again...
In an instant, the light vanished from Tang San's eyes.
After dealing with Tang San, Shui Bing'er sent Xiao Wu and the others out of the arena one by one.
The victory had come so easily. Tang San's concealed weapons had not even posed the slightest obstacle.
The referee then announced Skywater Academy's victory.
Inside the Battle Soul Arena, countless spectators watched the battle end in less than three minutes.
"That's it? Didn't Blue Tyrant Academy say they were going to punish Shui Bing'er? That's it? Seriously?"
"Where was the trump card? Where was the fierce clash everyone promised?"
"Didn't Tang San say he had prepared something?"
"Refund us!"
The cries for refunds grew louder and louder. The host panicked. If everyone got refunds, the Great Soul Arena would suffer enormous losses!
He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. "Ah... this is truly regrettable. Blue Tyrant Academy failed to deliver a result that satisfied everyone. But, audience members, all 101,000 spectators in the Great Soul Arena, at least we remained loyal and stayed with Blue Tyrant Academy until the very last second!"
But the spectators refused to buy it at all, roaring angrily, "Screw your mother! Was that worth our money?! Refund us!"
"Idiot!"
"I'm so damn disappointed!"
"There wasn't even any strategy!!"
The host continued trying to patch things up. "I know everyone is disappointed or angry, but our Great Soul Arena has even more exciting matches coming up. Next—"
"It's already over!"
At that exact moment, someone in the spectator stands suddenly shouted, "Blue Tyrant Academy is awesome!"
He was immediately dragged off and beaten up by the rest of the spectators present, and the Great Soul Arena completely descended into chaos.
In the VIP section, Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou Sacred Hall, sat not far from Xue Ye.
His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Before the match, he had secretly funded Tang San with a large batch of precious medicinal ingredients. Tang San had pounded his chest and guaranteed that with them, he could forge concealed weapons capable of killing Shui Bing'er.
And then Tang San showed him this.
Worthless brat! Not worth plotting with!
Salas flew into a rage and left immediately.
He wanted a refund now, too!
Xue Ye appeared calm on the surface, but his eyes remained fixed on Skywater Academy in the arena. Recalling Salas's earlier fury, he fell into thought.
In the post-match lounge, Skywater Academy's seven people had just returned from the arena.
Because they had won so easily, Shui Bing'er and the others did not truly need to rest. They were merely discussing what to eat next.
There was nothing to be proud of in defeating Tang San. More importantly, in Shui Bing'er and the others' eyes, this counted as avenging Meng Chen.
Just as their spirits were high, the lounge door was suddenly shoved open.
"Hmph!"
A group of more than ten people entered. Salas and a representative of the Heaven Dou Empire led them.
After entering, he said sternly, "Skywater Academy, your conduct in today's match seriously violated the rules. You deliberately crippled Tang San of Blue Tyrant Academy. The Tournament Organizing Committee has decided to revoke your eligibility to compete and impose a competition ban on you personally!"
Salas spoke coldly.
Even if he could not kill Shui Bing'er, he could at least prevent her from continuing in the tournament!
After all, this girl was far too monstrous!
The Heaven Dou Empire's representative immediately argued on reasonable grounds, "Lord Salas, the Tournament Organizing Committee's procedure should be to investigate first. How can you—"
It seemed the Heaven Dou Empire intended to protect Skywater Academy at all costs.
"Hmph!"
Salas snorted coldly again and suddenly released his pressure!
The Heaven Dou Empire's representative was of mediocre strength and was immediately suppressed to the point that he could not speak.
That pressure was not aimed solely at the Heaven Dou Empire's representative; it also bore down on Shui Bing'er and the others!
As a result, Shui Bing'er and the others could not utter a single word in argument.
Salas immediately said smugly, "You have objections? If you do, say them. It's not as though I won't let you—"
Before Salas could finish speaking, he suddenly felt an even fiercer pressure crash into his own and force it back!
The surroundings abruptly turned cold, and an icy chill seeped into the depths of their souls!
The Heaven Dou Empire's representative and Shui Bing'er's group could immediately speak again.
But Salas and the people he had brought were in misery. That icy pressure made them feel as though they were facing a king that had dominated the polar lands for ten thousand years, as if even their bloodlines and souls were about to freeze!
Salas could no longer withstand it. He gradually sank to his knees, trembling uncontrollably.
Could it be... a Titled Douluo!
Salas was shocked. How could a tiny Skywater Academy have a Titled Douluo backing it?!
Watching the group kneeling before her, Shui Bing'er could not help covering her chest.
She knew the Snow Empress had acted.
Salas felt the threat of death and was terrified beyond measure!
"...Leave."
Salas forced out that single word, and the pressure around him suddenly loosened.
He immediately sprang up and fled in humiliation.
The lounge door shut behind them.
After Salas left, the Heaven Dou Empire's representative gave Shui Bing'er and the others a deep look and said, "Please continue competing. You must win!"
With that, the Heaven Dou Empire's representative also left.
