"Now, let us invite our two contestants to the stage!"

Both men wore masks, their faces concealed.

The host shouted, "The exciting moment is about to begin in this ten-second countdown!"

As the countdown ended, Tang San was the first to reveal his spirit—a level thirty-one spirit grandmaster.

Two yellow rings and one purple; the optimal configuration.

Han Bing, however, had yet to reveal his spirit, standing there with a calm and composed expression.

Tang San let out a scoff. Let me see just how impressive you really are today.

He unleashed his Tang Sect Techniques, moving with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track at incredible speed.

The corners of Han Bing's mouth curled upward. Finally, some intensity. His Observation Haki instantly perceived Tang San's next move.

He leaped backward, dodging the attack.

But before he could react, Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand struck out.

Han Bing coated himself in Armament Haki, clashing with Tang San.

As they collided, Tang San immediately felt the overwhelming force of that spirit power. Fortunately, he had his Tang Sect Techniques, or he would never have been able to withstand it.

"Ice Heart Candy, your spirit power is no simple matter!"

Han Bing smiled faintly. "Aren't you the same?"

Seizing the opening, Tang San unleashed the first spirit ring of his Blue Silver Grass, while his hands continued to restrain him.

He intended to pin him down and end the match.

"Be careful, I am not easy to deal with."

His first spirit skill, Bind, shot out, closing in on Han Bing.

Han Bing smiled indifferently. With a glare, he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki; the mere aura shattered the incoming Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San was shocked, then lunged with a palm strike, grappling with Han Bing.

He was fully focused, not daring to let his attention waver!

"What an overbearing spirit power! What kind of technique are you cultivating!"

Tang San asked directly, a hint of envy in his voice.

Han Bing smiled faintly and said, "This is something you could never cultivate in your entire life."

Tang San scoffed upon hearing this and unleashed his other two spirit skills, sticking to his previous strategy: restraint with his hands, control with the Blue Silver Grass.

Below the stage, the Shrek Seven Devils watched in stunned silence.

The Ice Heart Candy was the first person to ever make Tang San take a fight this seriously.

As for Han Bing's side, Hu Liena and Gao Lan watched with rapt attention.

They both felt this man was the most formidable opponent Han Bing had ever encountered, though Han Bing had been holding back the entire time.

Tang San pressed the attack, his Blue Silver Grass striking incessantly!

"Such fast reactions, but if you don't use your spirit amplification, I fear you will soon be caught by my Blue Silver Grass."

Han Bing smiled indifferently!

"For now, that won't be necessary!"

Tang San gritted his teeth. His speed was increasing, and he was shocked that someone could actually keep up with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

After a round of confrontation, Han Bing grew bored.

He had practiced his Observation Haki enough; Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was truly an excellent technique for training it.

He let out a scoff.

"Thousand Hand Asura, be careful. I'm going to get serious now!"

Tang San was shocked. Was he not serious just now?

Naturally, how could the current Tang San withstand true Haki?

Han Bing clenched his fists, and his Haki erupted.

His hands were wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, and the immense pressure of that spirit power caused the spectators in the arena to faint one after another.

Even the host collapsed.

Han Bing had released his Haki.

Tang San performed a few backflips to steady himself; the sudden aura had nearly knocked him over.

What an overbearing power.

Those with low spirit power likely couldn't withstand it at all.

Sure enough, Yu Xiaogang fainted.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The other six devils supported Yu Xiaogang, who was nearly collapsing, his eyes rolled back in his head.

Flender hurriedly channeled his spirit power, finally bringing the unconscious Yu Xiaogang back to his senses.

He clutched his forehead; the scene from a moment ago had nearly terrified him.

"Flender, what terrifying strength. To think there is spirit power so overbearing it reaches this level!"

He looked around the arena; nearly half the people had fainted.

Flender shook his head. "Little San is in danger. This person is more of a monster than a monster."

Tang San looked at the people fainting around him and gritted his teeth. If he didn't go all out, he couldn't possibly win.

He let out a loud shout, "Be careful!"

He lunged forward. Since his Blue Silver Grass wasn't working, he would use poison.

Tang San's Eight Spider Spirit Bone emerged, and he sought an opening to attack. He used his Tang Sect Techniques and his Blue Silver Grass to restrain his opponent; as long as the poison of the Eight Spider Spirit Bone pierced him, he would win.

The sudden addition of eight limbs made things slightly difficult for Han Bing.

At this moment, he said calmly:

"Fine, you've earned the right for me to use my spirit."

He summoned his Candy Spirit and used his first spirit skill, Speed Candy.

He consumed it instantly, and his speed doubled.

Tang San, who had been managing to restrain him, suddenly found he could no longer keep up.

Han Bing spotted an opening and delivered a heavy punch, snapping one of the legs of the Eight Spider Spirit Bone clean off.

Tang San wailed in agony.

He hurriedly retreated to dodge.

But with the Speed Candy, Han Bing's speed had doubled, and combined with his Observation Haki, Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track could no longer keep pace.

He cast an evil grin at the seven remaining spider legs.

Tang San had just steadied himself.

Han Bing arrived before him in a flash, grabbing a spider leg with one hand.

Tang San immediately launched a counterattack, but the Armament Haki made it impossible to break Han Bing's skin.

Han Bing smirked and exerted force.

Two more spider legs were snapped off.

Tang San shrieked!

"My Eight Spider Spirit Bone!"

Below the stage, Oscar and Yu Xiaogang were horrified, while Dai Mubai clenched his fists, cheering him on!

"Little San, be careful!"

Tang San retreated in a hurry, fearing his remaining five spider legs would also be broken.

But the speed was too great; he had no time to dodge.

He gripped hidden weapons behind his back, intending to use them to kill his opponent, and unleashed the Zhuge Crossbow.

Tang San glared, firing repeatedly.

But Han Bing, with his Observation Haki at full capacity, tilted his head and shifted his body, dodging them with ease!

"What? Even my hidden weapons are useless?"

Before he could escape, Han Bing was already upon him, seemingly addicted to the Eight Spider Spirit Bone.

With a series of "pop" sounds and agonizing screams!

Tang San's remaining five spider legs were snapped off one by one!

The six devils below the stage couldn't bear to watch and covered their eyes.

"Little San, you're too miserable. All eight legs are broken; you're in worse shape than Boss Dai."

Tang San didn't even have time to retract the Eight Spider Spirit Bone.

Seeing this, Tang San intended to concede, but before he could speak, a ruthless punch landed on him.

It was a punch imbued with Conqueror's Haki.

It was heavier than the one that hit Dai Mubai; Dai Mubai had only faced ordinary Haki.

One punch, and he was clearly knocked unconscious.

And so, Han Bing repeated his previous trick. Want to avenge Dai Mubai? Then I'll let you have a taste of it too.

The scene that followed was too cruel; everyone closed their eyes.

Yu Xiaogang saw this and, fearing his disciple would end up lying in bed for three days and three nights like Dai Mubai, rushed to find the host to concede.

But the host had been unconscious for quite a while.

And so, Tang San took a beating for a good while, flickering between consciousness and oblivion.

Yu Xiaogang spent a great deal of effort waking the host, and only then did the match stop.

Tang San was carried out, his face unrecognizable!
