Defeated by Hidden Weapons, Yu Xiaogang's Composure Shattered

Although they had sent Ning Rongrong down.

Wu Yun, who had ventured deep into enemy territory, would not fare well.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was a step behind her, joined forces with the recovered Ma Hongjun to attack Wu Yun without mercy.

At this point, Jin Qianqian, who had been controlling the battle, had already left the arena. Otherwise, she might have found a way to use the Mandarin Duck Vine to bring Wu Yun back to their side.

Yet despite being at a disadvantage, facing two opponents alone—one of whose martial souls could suppress hers—Wu Yun did not panic in the slightest.

She even refused her teammates' assistance.

It was not that Wu Yun was overly arrogant, but that she understood this was the best possible situation.

Her Soul Power far surpassed Zhu Zhuqing's and Ma Hongjun's. The two had just been injured as well, so they could not possibly do anything to her, a Soul Elder, for the time being.

But their plan had still gone wrong.

They only knew to beware of Tang San, who used poison and hidden weapons. How could they have known that Xiao Wu, the breakthrough point they had chosen, was Tang San's reverse scale—someone who absolutely could not be touched?!

What they had not expected even more was that once Xiao Wu was injured, Tang San would truly lose all reason.

With Shu Han's full support, Lin Cheng's Mystic Silver Rod surged dramatically in power, directly striking Xiao Wu until she spat out blood and lost her ability to fight.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San let out a furious roar, his eyes splitting wide as he stared at Lin Cheng with a particularly vicious expression.

Very quickly, the members of Cloud Peak Academy learned why Tang San was called Thousand Hands Shura.

It was a feast of hidden weapons, and Tang San's personal showcase.

Countless highly destructive hidden weapons flew like a dense rainstorm toward Lin Cheng and the six members of Cloud Peak Academy.

Jin Qianqian, below the stage, made a snap decision and shouted loudly:

"We concede!"

The Great Soul Arena's referee was not strong enough to stop Tang San.

It was only when Cloud Peak Academy's team-leading teacher rushed onto the arena that Tang San, consumed by rage, was stopped.

But it was still a step too late. Tang San's hidden weapons were simply too fast.

Lin Cheng, who bore the brunt of the attack, was still injured.

Several Dragon Beard Needles pierced through the character "Defense" that Shu Han had urgently placed over Lin Cheng, broke through Lin Cheng's own defenses as well, and embedded themselves in his abdomen and limbs.

Tang San had been exceptionally ruthless. Lin Cheng's injuries were no light matter.

"Remove the things inside his body."

The Soul Saint teacher leading the team stopped Tang San, who was carrying Xiao Wu away.

But Tang San was not at all willing.

In his eyes, anyone who injured Xiao Wu had already earned a death sentence. The fact that he had not killed that person was already that person's good fortune.

He would absolutely not remove the Dragon Beard Needles for him.

The Dragon Beard Needles were too unusual. Only Tang San's special technique could remove them. Even the healing-type Soul Saint leading the team could only ease Lin Cheng's pain, which was not a long-term solution.

But when she tried to treat him, Lin Cheng stopped her himself.

"No wonder they told me to deal with that girl called Xiao Wu. I'm really grateful."

Everyone else was frantic, especially Shu Han, but Lin Cheng still had the presence of mind to crack a joke through the pain.

Wu Yun, who had also been worried, immediately darkened when she heard that. She pulled up Shu Han, who was crying over Lin Cheng, and nearly gritted out the words.

"Stop worrying. Wipe your tears. Have you forgotten what makes this brat special? If these injuries happened to someone else, we'd need to panic. But on him, they're just right."

Only then did the others remember Lin Cheng's special trait.

The more seriously he was injured, and the more pain he endured, the faster he cultivated.

This time, although the pain was a bit much, once his injuries healed, he would definitely break through. And judging by the situation, he might even leap from the peak of level thirty-four straight to level thirty-six.

It was truly enough to make one green with envy!

Why did such a good thing have to happen to him?

Over there, Tang San still stubbornly refused to remove the Dragon Beard Needles for Lin Cheng. After the team-leading teacher released the aura of a Soul Saint, Flender refused to be outdone and released his own Soul Saint aura.

"Like you're the only one with a Soul Saint. You think we're afraid of you?"

"If Dean Flender insists on acting this way, then I can only invite our vice dean to come out."

The team-leading teacher intended to use Jin Douluo to threaten Flender.

After all, as Gold Douluo, who had only broken through to Titled Douluo last year, his reputation across the continent was still at its height.

"Vice dean? Since you know I'm the dean, shouldn't you be inviting out your dean instead? Who is your vice dean? Could he possibly be stronger than the dean?"

Flender's tone carried some disdain. Since he had never heard of Cloud Peak Academy, he assumed it was merely some obscure little academy whose members could not possibly be very strong. The two Soul Saints before him were surely their limit, and Shrek Academy had nothing to fear.

After all, while he himself was only a Soul Saint, Shrek Academy had three Soul Saints: himself, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang. Together, they could even fight a Soul Douluo. Could they possibly fear some tiny Cloud Peak Academy?

"This old man is their vice dean. What, do you have an objection?"

An aged, gloomy male voice rang out. An old man in green robes stepped into the Great Soul Arena, and in the next instant, appeared before them.

An immensely powerful and terrifying aura instantly enveloped the people of Shrek Academy.

Under that overwhelming aura, Flender could no longer keep acting arrogant.

Xiao Wu, injured in Tang San's arms, turned even paler and clutched Tang San's clothes in fear.

The moment Shi Yang saw this man appear, he immediately sensed trouble. He quickly stepped before Tang San and Xiao Wu, blocking the line of sight between them.

"May I ask who you are, Senior...?"

Flender said in a low voice. Having been publicly humiliated and lost face, he felt rather uncomfortable.

But he instinctively sensed that the man before him was extremely dangerous. Flender had always known when to yield, so he suppressed the anger in his heart well, his tone respectful.

"This old man is Dugu Bo, vice dean of Cloud Peak Academy."

Dugu Bo held his head high, carrying an air of utter superiority. There was no helping it—he was the strongest person here, so such an attitude was only natural.

"Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

Yu Xiaogang cried out in surprise, exposing Dugu Bo's identity and making Dugu Bo give him a second glance.

But after only one glance, Dugu Bo immediately withdrew his gaze, with a trace of disdain.

"I didn't expect you to recognize this old man."

With his strength, he could naturally see that Yu Xiaogang, already advanced in age, was only level twenty-nine. He could practically be called the weakest and most useless person present.

With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, holding down the fort, Tang San unwillingly removed the Dragon Beard Needles from Lin Cheng without making any small moves.

"Hmm? This constitution of yours?"

Dugu Bo quickly noticed Lin Cheng's peculiarity. Afraid that Lin Cheng did not understand Chu Zhao's painstaking intentions, he could not help saying:

"That girl Chu Zhao has truly put a lot of thought into this. Listen to her properly. She will not harm you."

"Please rest assured, Senior. I've always listened to Boss. Otherwise, with my Innate Soul Power of only level one, I wouldn't be level thirty-five now."

Lin Cheng had originally said that to needle Wu Yun, since he had broken through to level thirty-five before her.

But unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang's composure shattered first. Yu Xiaogang, who had already begun walking away, abruptly turned back to look at Lin Cheng.

"How much? What did you say your Innate Soul Power was?"

He would rather suspect that he had misheard. With Innate Soul Power of only level one, how could someone so young have broken through to level thirty-five?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't one remain trapped in the realm of Soul Grandmaster for one's entire life?

Just like him.

"His Innate Soul Power is level one. Is there a problem? The Soul Power of all seven of us isn't high. We're all level one or two!"

The one who said this was Xiao Chenyu. And he admitted that after recognizing Yu Xiaogang, he had deliberately said those words.
