Chen Feng vs. Tang San! Hidden Weapons? Useless!

Dai Mubai did not back down.

Having just been sent flying by a punch, he had already lost face in front of everyone.

If he retreated again, how could he remain the leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters?

"That's right."

"Have Chen Feng come out and fight us one-on-one."

"Let everyone see just how capable the person who made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bow his head really is."

Ning Rongrong's expression immediately darkened.

"Dai Mubai, you're no match for Brother Chen Feng at all."

"Don't cause trouble for Shrek."

Hearing her defend Chen Feng only made Dai Mubai more irritated.

"Whether I'm a match for him or not, we'll only know after we fight."

Yu Tianheng was so angry that he laughed.

"Chen Feng has already reached level fifty."

"Even I, after completing Dragon Transformation in both arms and my chest, couldn't withstand a single move from him."

"You two pieces of trash want to challenge Chen Feng?"

The Shrek group was stunned at once.

Tang San's expression turned solemn.

"Level fifty?"

"How is that possible?"

Dai Mubai quickly recovered.

"Anyone can talk big."

"Without a fifth Soul Ring, even at level fifty, he's only a four-ringed Soul Ancestor."

"As Soul Ancestors, we may not be unable to fight him."

Deep within the forest.

A figure in white slowly emerged.

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered at his side, its golden-blue lotus patterns slowly flowing.

Three purple and one black, four Soul Rings rose in sequence.

Level-fifty soul power blanketed the entire clearing.

The contempt on Dai Mubai's and Ma Hongjun's faces instantly froze.

Ning Rongrong looked at that familiar face, her beautiful eyes full of delighted surprise.

"Brother Chen Feng!"

Chen Feng ignored everyone else.

His gaze fell on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.

"You want a one-on-one fight?"

Dai Mubai clenched his teeth as the White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him.

"That's right."

Ma Hongjun also released the Evil Fire Phoenix, blazing flames covering his entire body.

"And this grandpa too!"

Yu Tianheng stepped in front of them.

"You aren't worthy of making Chen Feng draw his sword."

Chen Feng raised a hand.

"Move."

Without hesitation, Yu Tianheng immediately retreated to the side.

The Azure Lotus Sword fell into Chen Feng's palm.

Looking at the White Tiger and Fire Phoenix before him, Chen Feng said only one word.

"Come."

Dai Mubai's first Soul Ring lit up first.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Barrier!"

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth, spewing scorching evil fire forward.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!"

Chen Feng casually swung his sword.

A streak of azure sword energy swept through the flames and instantly shattered the White Tiger Barrier.

The two figures were sent flying at the same time.

Their screams rang through the academy.

In the Education Committee Hall.

Yu Xiaogang sat in a chair, discussing enrollment matters with Meng Shenji and the other two Education Committee members.

The successive screams brought the conversation in the hall to a halt.

Flender adjusted his glasses.

"Did something happen outside?"

Zhao Wuji listened closely for a moment.

"Why do those voices sound so familiar?"

Yu Xiaogang abruptly rose to his feet.

"They sound like Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai?"

In the forest clearing.

The azure sword light slowly faded.

Dai Mubai crashed through two large trees before slamming heavily onto the ground.

The White Tiger Barrier had long since shattered. His clothes were torn open across the chest, leaving behind a shallow sword mark.

Ma Hongjun was in an even sorrier state.

The Phoenix Fire Line had been split apart by a single slash, and the scorching evil fire surged back, burning his hair black.

His fat body was embedded in the dirt, and he could not climb up for a long while.

The two looked up at Chen Feng, the contempt on their faces long gone.

Had that sword strike advanced another half inch, Dai Mubai's chest would have been pierced through.

Ma Hongjun's legs had gone weak, and a chill spread through his crotch as he nearly wet himself on the spot.

"One sword..."

"The two of us couldn't even withstand one sword?"

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered beside Chen Feng.

Golden-blue lotus patterns slowly flowed over it, while the fallen leaves around them were sliced into fine dust by the sword energy.

Ning Rongrong stood there blankly.

Knowing Chen Feng was powerful was one thing.

Seeing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun instantly crushed with her own eyes was another.

Oscar swallowed.

"Level fifty, with a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring."

"Is he even human?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai lying on the ground, with little concern in her cool eyes.

He had provoked someone on his own initiative, yet he could not even withstand one sword strike.

Such a performance only made him seem laughable.

Yu Tianheng crossed his arms, his expression full of certainty.

"I already told you, you two pieces of trash weren't qualified to challenge Chen Feng."

"Do you believe it now?"

Dai Mubai braced himself against the ground as the White Tiger Martial Soul condensed around him once more.

"I was careless just now."

"I haven't even used my third Soul Skill yet!"

Chen Feng pointed with one hand.

The Azure Lotus Sword instantly vanished from where it was.

The next moment, its tip stopped just before Dai Mubai's brow.

Golden-blue sword energy swept across his forehead, cutting off several strands of golden hair.

Dai Mubai froze in place as the White Tiger Martial Soul rapidly dissipated.

"Third Soul Skill?"

"Did you have the chance to use it?"

Ma Hongjun had only just crawled out of the dirt when another streak of sword energy flew past his fat face.

The large tree behind him snapped in half.

His fat body collapsed back onto the ground.

"Stop fighting!"

"This grandpa admits defeat!"

Chen Feng raised his hand and recalled the Azure Lotus Sword.

"Trash should have the self-awareness of trash."

Tang San stepped forward, Blue Silver Grass slowly emerging from his palm.

"Enough!"

"Boss Dai and Fatty have already lost. Why do you insist on continuing to humiliate them?"

Chen Feng glanced at Tang San.

"This is not your place to speak."

That simple sentence quickly darkened Tang San's expression.

As Yu Xiaogang's most prized disciple, Tang San had always been the one whose word was final among the Shrek Seven Monsters.

Now, being directly ignored in front of everyone, anger immediately rose in his chest.

"Boss Dai and Fatty are both my companions."

"You injured them, so this matter concerns me."

Chen Feng remained calm.

"If you want to make a move, then make one."

"Why say all this nonsense?"

Tang San's eyes instantly turned purple.

Violet Demon Eyes!

The flow of soul power around Chen Feng, as well as the trajectory of the Azure Lotus Sword, were all reflected in those purple eyes.

"Since that is the case, let me experience your sword!"

His feet shifted.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was instantly unleashed.

Tang San's figure flickered repeatedly, leaving behind several afterimages.

Blue Silver Grass rapidly spread along the ground, winding toward Chen Feng's legs from different directions.

"First Soul Skill, Binding!"

More than ten thick vines shot into the air.

Numerous spikes protruded from the vines' surfaces, carrying Mandala Snake venom.

Chen Feng brought two fingers together and pointed forward.

The Azure Lotus Sword streaked through the forest clearing.

All the Blue Silver Grass snapped apart at once, their cuts smooth and even.

Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San closed in, both hands already transformed into jade.

Mysterious Jade Hand!

His two palms reached from the left and right, directly grabbing at the Azure Lotus Sword's blade.

"Crane Capture Dragon Control!"

An invisible pulling force erupted from his palms.

The flying Azure Lotus Sword was affected, shifting slightly from its original trajectory.

Joy appeared in Tang San's eyes.

"Once a tool martial soul leaves its master's control, its power will inevitably drop greatly."

"As long as I seize the Azure Lotus Sword, this battle will be over."

The instant his jade palms touched the blade, an azure sword lotus bloomed between them.

Nine lotus petals unfurled in sequence.

Every petal was condensed from pure sword energy.

Tang San's expression changed drastically.

Tiny wounds appeared one after another across the surface of the Mysterious Jade Hand, while Crane Capture Dragon Control was forcibly torn apart by the sword energy.

"How is this possible?"

"The Mysterious Jade Hand can't even block it!"

The Azure Lotus Sword flew around Tang San's wrist.

Both sleeves shattered on the spot.

Tang San immediately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, retreating more than ten meters in rapid succession.

The sword light pursued him closely.

No matter how his body shifted, the Azure Lotus Sword remained three feet behind Tang San.

Blue Silver Grass rose again and again, only to be severed each time.

Even the afterimages left by Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track were continuously torn apart by sword qi.

Tang San could only keep bending over to evade.

The ribbon atop his head was sliced apart by a sword, and his blue hair spilled loose.

The next strand of sword qi grazed his shoulder, tearing open his Shrek uniform.

The third streak of sword qi skimmed past his feet, shaving off the soles of his shoes.

He dodged left and right through the woods, without even a chance to raise his head.

Ma Hongjun stared in stunned disbelief.

"Why is Third Brother just running away?"

Oscar rubbed his eyes.

"How is this a spar?"

"Tang San is clearly being chased down and beaten."

Dai Mubai's expression turned extremely ugly.

He had originally hoped Tang San would restore Shrek's dignity.

Yet despite using every method at his disposal, he could only flee in panic.

Tang San dodged the Azure Lotus Sword again and swiftly reached into Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night with his right hand.

A metal cylinder dropped into his palm.

The cylinder was entirely black, its surface covered in densely packed holes.

Ning Rongrong immediately sensed danger.

"Tang San, what are you doing?"

Tang San did not answer.

The Azure Lotus Sword had already closed in before him.

The black cylinder was aimed at Chen Feng, and the mechanism inside activated instantly.

Click!

Twenty-seven thin needles shot out simultaneously.

The needles were packed incredibly tightly, each one so fast that only a faint afterimage remained.

Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle!

This was one of the ultimate lethal hidden weapons among the Tang Sect's mechanical concealed weapons.

When all twenty-seven Pear Blossom Needles erupted at once, even a Soul King would be pierced through on the spot without prior preparation.

"Brother Chen Feng, be careful!"

Ning Rongrong's face turned pale.

At such close range, there was no room to dodge.

Chen Feng stood where he was without retreating half a step.

The Azure Lotus Sword instantly returned to his palm.

"Sword Force."

Golden-green soul power surged from the blade, forming a layer of Azure Lotus Sword Force.

The twenty-seven Pear Blossom Needles struck the sword force with a dense series of crisp sounds.

The thin needles, capable of piercing steel plates, all stopped in midair.

Tang San's pupils contracted.

"Even the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle can't break through?"

Chen Feng lightly turned his wrist.

The Azure Lotus Sword Force rotated with it.

The twenty-seven needles reversed direction and flew toward the Shrek students.

"Dodge!"

Tang San immediately used Crane Capture Dragon Control, trying to pull back the flying Pear Blossom Needles.

The force carried by the Azure Lotus Sword Force was too powerful. Crane Capture Dragon Control only shifted a few needles by half an inch.

Dai Mubai had barely steadied himself when one thin needle grazed his shoulder.

Purple-black poison rapidly spread from the wound.

Ma Hongjun was even more unfortunate.

Two Pear Blossom Needles passed through his waistband, pinning his entire body to a tree trunk.

Oscar hurriedly dropped to the ground. The needle tips skimmed past his scalp, taking a large patch of hair with them.

Zhu Zhuqing used her speed to avoid vital areas, but her tight leather outfit was still sliced open.

Xiao Wu flipped into the air, but the force carried by the needle left her right leg numb.

The final two thin needles flew toward Ning Rongrong.

Chen Feng raised two fingers and guided them.

The Azure Lotus Sword swept over from afar, knocking down both needles.

Ning Rongrong stood frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.

"Third Brother actually used such a murderous hidden weapon?"

"If Brother Chen Feng hadn't blocked it, someone really would have died."

Tang San's face turned pale.

"I only wanted to defeat Chen Feng."

"I can control the power of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle."

Chen Feng walked forward with his sword in hand.

"You can control it?"

"Then control one for me to see."

The Azure Lotus Sword swept across the ground.

A straight sword mark extended forward from beneath his feet.

Tang San hurriedly retreated, crossing his Mysterious Jade Hands before his chest.

The sword qi instantly shattered his defense.

The blue figure flew backward, crashing into a stone pillar outside the Education Committee hall.

The moment Tang San landed, the Azure Lotus Sword stopped before his throat.

"Tang Sect techniques?"

"Nothing special."

Outside the Education Committee hall.

The doors burst open.

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, the three committee members, emerged first.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender followed close behind.

When Zhao Wuji saw the Shrek students sprawled all over the ground, his face immediately darkened.

"What happened here?"

Pinned to the tree, Ma Hongjun immediately pointed at Chen Feng.

"Headmaster, it was this guy!"

"We had just arrived at the Imperial Academy, and this guy attacked us viciously!"

Dai Mubai covered his shoulder and spoke as well.

"The Imperial Academy people provoked us first."

"Yu Tianheng ambushed Fatty and me, then Chen Feng relied on his soul power level to bully us."

Dugu Yan frowned tightly as she listened.

"You two publicly blocked the road and harassed people, yet it somehow became the Imperial Academy's fault?"

Yu Tianheng stepped forward.

"Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun spoke wildly and even took the initiative to challenge Chen Feng."

"Now that you can't win, you're twisting black into white?"

Flender adjusted his glasses.

"They have only just arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and do not understand the rules here."

"Even if there was a verbal conflict, there was no need to strike so heavily."

Ning Rongrong could not help speaking up.

"Headmaster, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun sought them out themselves."

"Tang San even used the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle just now."

Meng Shenji lowered his gaze.

A great many thin needles lay scattered across the ground.

Every needle gleamed purple-black, clearly coated in deadly poison.

Bai Baoshan's expression changed slightly.

"Using poisoned hidden weapons in a spar?"

"Is that also Shrek Academy's rule?"

Yu Xiaogang walked over to Tang San.

Seeing his disciple disheveled and his clothes torn, anger appeared in his eyes.

"Little San used hidden weapons only to protect his companions."

"If Chen Feng had not pressed him so relentlessly, Little San would not have been forced to use such methods."

Chen Feng withdrew the Azure Lotus Sword.

"By your logic, as long as Tang San is at a disadvantage, it is only natural for him to use murderous hidden weapons?"

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back.

"When soul masters fight, injuries are always possible."

"Besides, Little San already showed mercy."

Dugu Yan burst out laughing.

"All twenty-seven poisoned needles were aimed at vital points, and you call that showing mercy?"

"Yu Xiaogang, your theories truly broaden one's horizons."

The word "Master" was never spoken, making Yu Xiaogang's expression even uglier.

"Three committee members."

"Shrek has come this time at Qin Ming's invitation to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Now that the students from both sides have clashed, continuing this argument is meaningless."

Meng Shenji looked at the people lying on the ground.

"How does Master Yu intend to resolve this?"

A thoughtful look flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

"A problem between juniors should be resolved in the way of soul masters."

"The Shrek Seven Monsters and the Imperial Dou Team will have a team battle."

"Once victory and defeat are decided, all previous matters will be written off."

Zhi Lin nodded lightly.

"Team coordination is the most important test in the soul master tournament."

"Having both sides spar in advance will also allow the Education Committee to understand the strength of the Shrek Seven Monsters."

Bai Baoshan looked toward Yu Tianheng.
