Tang San: You Hurt My Brother—You Have Chosen Death!

Ye Han did not move his feet. The Sky-Piercing Spear spun rapidly in his hand.

The spear tip moved like a dragon dancing across the page. With a light tap, one ball of light exploded; with another flick, a second one burst.

White energy fragments scattered in every direction, yet not even a single piece touched the corner of his clothes.

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth as his fourth soul ring suddenly lit up!

White Tiger Meteor Shower!

Dozens of golden orbs condensed at once, Heaven-Covering Earth-Blanketing like a torrential downpour, closing in on Ye Han from all directions!

The Sky-Piercing Spear in Ye Han's hand moved even faster.

The spear shaft circled tightly around his waist, blocking every incoming golden orb along a bizarre spiraling trajectory.

The spear blade collided with the light orbs, erupting in an endless shower of golden sparks.

At the same time, his footsteps never slowed as he steadily pressed forward while defending.

This was the second form of the Nine Qingtian Forms: Coiling Dragon Spiral.

A defensive counterattack skill.

The long spear moved like a roaming dragon, crushing every attack around him.

Ye Han was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he had closed to within ten meters of Dai Mubai.

Then, the spear shaft spun down to its lowest point before suddenly sweeping upward!

A crescent-shaped silver-white spear beam swept out, shattering the incoming light orbs and charging straight at Dai Mubai with its remaining force.

Coiling Dragon Spiral combined offense and defense—it could block, and it could kill!

Dai Mubai hastily crossed his arms before him, activating the White Tiger Body-Protection Barrier with all his strength. A layer of white light covered his entire body.

Yet when the spear beam struck, he was blasted backward, nearly falling off the arena.

Ma Hongjun panicked. Seeing Ye Han close in, he no longer cared about flying and immediately unleashed Phoenix Fire Line!

A pillar of golden-red flame burst from his mouth.

After consuming the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Ma Hongjun's flames had become even more powerful.

The flames were so scorching that even the air twisted and warped.

Ye Han reacted swiftly. Using the spear tip against the ground for leverage, his body flashed away strangely just before the fire pillar arrived.

The flames passed through his afterimage.

Meanwhile, the Sky-Piercing Spear in Ye Han's hand had completed its rotation during his dodge.

The spear tip drew a chilling arc of light, slanting upward from beneath Ma Hongjun's right armpit!

Pfft!

A dull impact sounded.

Ma Hongjun felt a tearing pain explode from his right shoulder blade.

The silver-white spear tip pierced out through the back of his shoulder, and blood gushed forth!

"Ahhh—!!"

Ma Hongjun screamed.

With a flick of his wrist, Ye Han violently lifted the spear shaft and flung him away.

Boom!

Ma Hongjun crashed heavily into the soul-tool railing at the edge of the arena and fell below the stage.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye.

Dai Mubai's pupils contracted violently. Before he could react, the silver-white spear drew an arc through the air and thrust toward him!

He had no time to dodge. He could only erupt with the White Tiger Body-Protection Barrier again while reaching forward with both claws, trying to take the blow head-on.

But how could his defense withstand the Sky-Piercing Spear?

The spear tip pierced through the white barrier and drove straight into his right shoulder blade.

Weren't you good brothers?

Then let's make it exactly the same.

The same spot, the same force.

"Urgh—!"

Dai Mubai groaned as the force of the spear lifted him off the ground and sent him flying backward. He too slammed heavily into the railing.

Ye Han withdrew his spear and stood still, blood dripping from its silver-white tip.

Below the arena, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun lay beside the railing.

Both clutched their right shoulders, their faces pale and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Less than three minutes had passed from the host's announcement of the soul battle to its conclusion.

The entire venue first fell deathly silent, then erupted in deafening cries of shock.

"My god, another complete stomp!"

"Sky-Piercing Spear God! Sky-Piercing Spear God!"

Ye Han's fans were the first to recover, shouting his title like mad.

In the soul master passageway, Oscar rushed out and ran to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

He had left the soul masters' waiting area the moment Ma Hongjun was knocked out.

"Boss Dai!"

"Fatty!"

Oscar quickly created two Recovery Big Sausages and fed them to the pair.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong also hurried over.

Though they all wore masks, Ye Han recognized them at a glance from their clothing and physical traits.

The Shrek Seven Monsters were all here.

Ning Rongrong swiftly summoned the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda. Two streams of light entered Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun respectively, boosting their soul power and easing their pain.

Flender also arrived at the edge of the arena.

He crouched down to inspect the penetrating wound in Ma Hongjun's shoulder, then checked Dai Mubai's injuries. He abruptly rose to his feet, pointed at Ye Han on the stage, and roared:

"This is only a sparring soul battle. Why did you strike so ruthlessly? Were you trying to kill them?!"

"Blades and spears have no eyes. If they cannot endure even such injuries, why come onto the stage for a soul battle? Besides, I already held back."

Ye Han's voice was icy, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

The host hurried over and tried to smooth things over.

"Sir, injuries are unavoidable in soul battles. Our arena has a professional medical team, and the two contestants' lives are not in danger. Please calm down."

Just then, several staff members arrived to take the two away for treatment.

Flender wanted to say more, but restrained himself. He merely snorted heavily before turning and leaving with them.

Tang San looked back at Ye Han, and a seed of hatred was planted in his heart.

He had watched his companions get mercilessly beaten in front of everyone and sustain serious injuries.

"You dare hurt my brothers! Ye Han, you have chosen death!"

Tang San gritted his teeth.

He would make Ye Han pay for what he had done today!

Ye Han looked at Tang San as well, sensing the killing intent in his eyes.

Unfortunately, the kid was too weak. He was only a three-ring Soul Elder and did not even qualify to share an arena with him.

Dai Mubai had been thoroughly beaten today, his confidence shaken. He would not be able to take the stage again anytime soon.

Ye Han wondered whether Tang San had the guts to find other helpers.

The host announced the result of the soul battle. Ye Han maintained his winning streak.

Without releasing his soul rings, he had accumulated twelve consecutive victories, and every single one had been a complete stomp.

The Shrek group returned to the academy late at night.

After treatment by the healers, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's injuries had stabilized. However, they still needed to recuperate and could not engage in intense combat for the time being.

Ma Hongjun described what he had felt on the arena.

Neither his spiritual power nor soul power had been suppressed. He simply could not fly.

It was too strange. Even he did not know what had happened.

As a master of theory, Yu Xiaogang could not understand it either.

If it had been a domain-type skill, Dai Mubai should have been suppressed as well. Yet he had not been.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had been thoroughly beaten and injured tonight, leaving everyone at Shrek in a gloomy mood.

Tang San was not sleepy. The scenes from the soul battle kept replaying in his mind.

He went to find Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang had not slept either.

How could he sleep when someone who threatened Tang San's future had appeared?

"Teacher, I want to challenge Ye Han."

"What?!"

Yu Xiaogang was startled.

After witnessing Ye Han's strength, Tang San still had such thoughts.

Yu Xiaogang knew that Tang San was proud and refused to admit defeat.

Tonight, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had been beaten so badly. Tang San was deeply upset.

"Little San, are you serious? Don't act on impulse."

"Teacher, I'm serious. I don't just want to seek justice for Boss Dai and Fatty. I also want to experience his Sky-Piercing Spear for myself."

"But you saw his strength. Even so, are you confident?"

"I might not be able to do it alone. I need a helper."

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly.

"Other than Dai Mubai, Shrek Academy has no students at the level of a four-ring Soul Ancestor. Where would we find a helper?"

"Teacher, it does not necessarily have to be someone from our academy. Wouldn't it work if a friend or acquaintance was willing to appear alongside me?"

Yu Xiaogang paused, and someone immediately came to mind.

"Little San, you mean... Yu Tianheng, don't you?"
