Beating Xiao Wu Senseless! Crushing Shrek in Seconds, Tang San's Fury!

The first round of matches soon came to an end.

The opponents for the second round were announced as well.

"Shrek Academy..."

Although he had long expected that he might face Tang San and the others, he had not expected it to happen so soon.

However, Xue Tianyu's goal was the championship, so it made no difference to him who he encountered.

He only needed to win. Everything else was for his opponents to worry about.

For this match, Xue Tianyu once again chose to hold the line, but in order to train the team, Skywater Academy's lineup had changed.

Shui Yue'er rested below the stage, while Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu took several other beauties onto the stage with Xue Tianyu.

This was not because Xue Tianyu looked down on Shrek Academy.

In many cases, competing on the stage and watching from the resting area offered entirely different experiences.

To make substantial progress, neither could be neglected.

This was the least intense stage of the entire Soul Master Competition, making it the perfect time for rotations. Every member could gain actual combat experience, while the others could reflect on their performances in the arena.

By the time Skywater Academy had taken the stage, Shrek Academy's people had only just arrived.

At the start of the competition, Shrek Academy had not fielded its full lineup either.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others had brought two substitutes onto the stage.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar watched from below.

Still, they had put forward the five strongest fighters among the Shrek Seven Devils.

They had only left out Ning Rongrong and Oscar, the two support members, because they wanted to test the limits of the Shrek Seven Devils.

As for whether that might cause them to lose the match?

Tang San was extremely confident.

Losing was impossible.

He had already looked into Skywater Team's previous match. So what if Xue Tianyu had not made a move the entire time?

Xue Tianyu was concealing his abilities, but did that mean Tang San had no hidden tricks of his own?

At the very least, his methods were enough to ensure he could kill Xue Tianyu!

Besides, in a normal fight, he might not be unable to defeat Skywater.

Everyone now knew that Skywater was strong, so this was the perfect chance to build Shrek Academy's reputation!

The moment Shrek Academy stepped onto the stage, Xue Tianyu saw several pairs of eyes staring fixedly at him.

What these people were plotting was obvious.

If they wanted victory, even knocking all six Skywater Academy members unconscious would not be enough. They had to defeat Xue Tianyu.

The match began.

Dai Mubai immediately activated his White Tiger Possession, his entire body swelling as if inflated.

He charged ahead first, intending to use his advantage in strength to take down one opponent.

At his side, Zhu Zhuqing followed like a cat sinking into the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to coordinate with Dai Mubai's movements.

Tang San and Xiao Wu approached Skywater Academy's two substitutes from another direction.

Of course, they would start by squeezing the soft persimmons.

As Shrek's group charged over, Xue Wu immediately unleashed her martial soul, the Dancing Snow Ribbon.

"Soul Skill, Dark Clouds!"

Xue Wu's martial soul possessed the ability to control the weather.

As she danced gracefully, an enormous dark cloud appeared above the arena, large enough to block out the sunlight.

"Nothing but flashy tricks." Tang San paid Xue Wu no heed. Since she had not taken the stage in the previous match, Tang San did not care about her at all.

The one they needed to guard against was the other beauty.

Shui Bing'er could also tell that the other side did not seem to take Xue Wu seriously. Her eyes curved in a smile. Tang San would pay the price for that arrogance.

Then, a phoenix cry rang out from behind Shui Bing'er.

A top-tier ice-element martial soul—the Ice Crystal Phoenix!

Tang San narrowed his eyes. Here it came!

According to his analysis, as long as they restrained this phoenix, they could win the match.

Thus, that task fell to Ma Hongjun, who also possessed a top-tier martial soul.

Another phoenix cry rang out.

Ma Hongjun activated his martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix!

"Both are phoenixes. Could you really be that much stronger than me?" Ma Hongjun sneered as the Evil Fire Phoenix charged toward the Ice Crystal Phoenix with eerie flames!

Yet in the next moment, rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Xue Wu's second soul skill, Rainfall!

Raindrops as large as beans fell from the dark clouds, transforming in an instant into a vast curtain of water pouring down.

These raindrops condensed from Soul Power would not fall upon herself or her teammates, but the enemy would be drenched like drowned rats.

If it were merely getting wet, they could have accepted it.

But they were being drenched under the influence of the Ice Crystal Phoenix.

By the time Tang San realized the problem, it was already too late.

With a flap of the Ice Crystal Phoenix's wings, great swathes of frost swept out, instantly freezing everyone soaked by the rain!

Terrifying power surged outward!

"Whoa!"

None of the spectators had expected Shrek Academy, which had performed so well in the first round, to be utterly crushed by Skywater Academy again!

Before Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix could even show its strength, it was defeated because Ma Hongjun himself had been frozen.

In that instant, Tang San and Xiao Wu were the only ones left on the entire arena with any fighting strength.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had been frozen most solidly after facing the wind and snow head-on.

"This... how..."

Tang San's expression was exceedingly ugly.

He had never imagined that the Shrek Academy he led would be crushed so completely.

Seeing Tang San's darkened expression, Xiao Wu felt distressed for him. Her hate-filled eyes glanced at the calm and composed Xue Tianyu, and she decided to launch a sneak attack on him to help Tang San regain some face.

Xiao Wu kicked off with both feet, her body nearly turning into an afterimage as she rushed at Xue Tianyu from his blind spot.

Xue Tianyu made a grasping motion with one hand, and deep-blue ice crystals condensed in his palm into the Emperor Sword.

Then he gave Xiao Wu a simple swing.

Countless ice spikes erupted from the ground. While Xiao Wu was still several meters away, one of the suddenly appearing spikes pierced through her shoulder.

Blood immediately flowed, staining the ice pillar red.

Xiao Wu had not even gotten close before Xue Tianyu heavily injured her!

Only then did everyone, including Tang San, belatedly realize just how powerful Skywater Academy's captain was!

He had actually taken Xiao Wu down in a single blow.

Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San was instantly enraged. How dare he hurt my Xiao Wu!

However, Tang San also knew that this was not the time to blindly vent his anger. Xiao Wu was seriously injured and needed treatment.

He had to force himself to calm down.

As for the grudge of Xiao Wu being hurt, he could slowly find an opportunity to take revenge in the future!

Although Xue Tianyu looked quite formidable, Tang San believed his abilities were merely unusual.

After all, the entire arena was now filled with cold air and rainwater. Creating ice spikes was far too easy for him.

His true strength might not be all that great.

"Are you still going to fight?" Xue Tianyu could tell from Tang San's gaze that he was up to no good.

Tang San snorted coldly. "We concede!"

After saying that, he rushed toward Xiao Wu. Seeing the puncture wound on her body and her pale cheeks, he could not help pointing at Xue Tianyu's nose and shouting, "How could you strike so heavily?!!"

"She's just a girl!!!"
