"Your Seven-in-One Fusion Skill has indeed surprised me quite a bit, but it's a pity you didn't launch an attack immediately, which doomed you to defeat."
I'm really curious to see what kind of consequences you'll face when you suffer the backlash!
Looking around, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that his teammates in the illusion were only temporarily engrossed and not in immediate danger. He then turned a cold gaze to the opposing Canghui Team.
This time, he was quite frightened. It was only during a competition that he was affected. If he had been caught in this attack while venturing into the Soul Master World, he would have been either killed or crippled.
Most importantly, this time he not only put several teammates in danger, but also dragged his beloved Xiao Wu into it.
This enraged Tang San, who decided to teach the Canghui Team a lesson they couldn't tolerate.
Before the Canghui Team could react, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, and his eyes shone with an intense purple light, even surpassing the seven-colored illusion light in the Seven Asura Illusion Realm.
"Damn it, you're insane! After the Seven Asura Illusion Realm collapses, we'll both share the mental damage. Withdraw your mental attack and we surrender!"
Upon seeing this, the captain of the Canghui Team was shocked and quickly conceded defeat. The other six team members also looked grim.
Although they had mastered the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, Seven Asura Illusion Realm, they found it very difficult to execute. Not to mention that against the Shrek Academy, they could only hold back their attacks, using them as a deterrent to force the other side to admit defeat.
This put them under even greater pressure, making the already unstable Seven Asura Illusion Realm even more unstable.
Now, after being struck by the Purple Demon Eye, the Seven Asura Illusion Realm immediately began to collapse.
The illusion collapsing is not a big deal; at most, both sides will be bedridden for half a year.
The problem is that the Shrek Team members have incredibly powerful backgrounds. If they manage to defeat those seven and miss out on the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, things will get really complicated.
The ultimate prize of this Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is Soul Bone, a priceless treasure in the Soul Master World, and Soul Bone of 100,000 years.
Although Canghui Academy was eager for the championship, they were also very self-aware and did not think about winning. They only wanted to make it to the finals to bring fame to themselves and the academy.
Therefore, it's not worth angering the powerful forces behind the Shrek Team just to win a spot in the qualifying rounds. They might even be wiped out by those angry forces.
Understanding this, the Canghui Team immediately focused all their efforts on suppressing the Seven Asura Illusion Realm, intending to bear the backlash damage alone.
If they were to bear the backlash alone, they would at most be bedridden for a few years, but if they truly offended the powerful forces behind the Shrek Team, they would face certain death.
Reality is indeed cruel and unfair!
"Giving up in a hallucination? Are you insulting my intelligence?"
We Shrek never fail, not even once!
To everyone's surprise, Tang San sneered, completely disbelieving the words of the Canghui Team captain, and even intensified the mental impact of the Purple Demon Eye.
Before the competition, his teachers and family elders had warned him that he must not fail even once in the competition, as that would be a disgrace to them.
At the same time, only by being constantly Bubai can one cultivate the heart of an Invincible warrior, so he would not slack off in the slightest.
Furthermore, he was well aware that the reward for this year's Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament was a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone, a treasure so precious that all Soul Master would risk their lives for it.
The Canghui Team is capable of doing anything, so he cannot risk trusting them.
The right approach is to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!
However, Tang San underestimated the strength of the Seven Asura Illusion Realm. He only increased the mental impact, and the illusion shattered like glass.
After the environment shattered, the Projection screen switched to the competition venue. Although the image was even more blurry, it was still roughly visible, indicating that the Canghui Team had not completely lost consciousness.
However, all seven of them tried their best to stabilize the Gem Martial Spirit in their hands, but in the end, their abilities were limited, or perhaps the backlash was too strong, causing the Gem Martial Spirit of all seven of them to shatter at the same time, resulting in a considerable soul impact.
In the final scene, Tang San on the other side seemed to understand something, and he knocked his teammate to the ground with a backhand, and then even hit himself with it.
"Is this what you call knowing nothing? Randomly unleashing Soul Skill in a daze?"
After watching the memory recording, Salas's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
Although he guessed that Tang San was deceiving him last time, he didn't expect him to lie to this extent.
They're treating Salas like a fool!
It's an insult to people's intelligence, and more importantly, it's a serious provocation against the competition rules, something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
"I'm sorry, the Xiao San child was indeed mentally traumatized at the time and was continuously affected by the hallucinations. Her actions were not intentional."
Furthermore, the captain of the Canghui Team admitting defeat in the illusion is not realistic, so I believe that Xiao San's pursuit of victory at that time was entirely in accordance with the competition rules.
"I just didn't expect the Canghui Team to be so weak and vulnerable. Who can they blame but themselves for being harmed by their own Soul Skill?"
Flender, disregarding his pride, went straight for Salas.
In short, we must never allow the Shrek Team to be disqualified from continuing to participate, even if it damages their reputation.
"You..."
Salas had never seen such shameless behavior before. Most importantly, although Flender's words Shameless, upon careful reflection, they barely complied with the rules of the competition.
Even if someone really says that, he can't actually disqualify the Shrek Team from participating in the competition.
Although he adheres to the rules, he is also bound by them, which is his helpless side.
Ultimately, the problem lies in the competition's rules, which have far too many loopholes!
"Now that the Big White, I hereby issue my final judgment: the winner of the previous match between Shrek Team and Canghui Team is Canghui Team."
Sect Master Ning, Dean Flender, you don't have any objections to my judgment, do you?
Qian Renxue's voice sounded calm, but her eyes revealed a faint chill, clearly indicating that she was truly angry.
Tang San, who was about to object, had his shoulder held by Flender, who smiled and said, "Friendship first, competition second! Since the Canghui Team has suffered such losses, Shrek Academy will concede this victory to them."
Their tone made it sound as if they were handing the victory to the Canghui Team, which only fueled Qian Renxue and the others' anger.
"The competition is over for now. Now let's talk about your crime of murder, Tang San."
Tang San, no matter what, all seven members of the Canghui Team suffered heavy losses because of you. Now, two of them have already passed away, and the remaining five don't have much time left.
You can't escape the deaths of seven people, and five of them were even members of the imperial nobility.
Regaining her composure, Qian Renxue gazed indifferently at Tang San before her. She was utterly disappointed in this boy who was eleven years younger than her, and even felt a sense of disgust towards him.
He had heard a lot about Tang San's reputation recently, after all, Tang San had performed exceptionally well in the preliminary rounds. He was arguably the most dazzling star in the Heaven Dou Empire's capital region, overshadowing all the other geniuses.
However, this person's style of doing things was too ruthless and decisive. Even when the opponent had held back and finally admitted defeat, he still dealt a heavy blow. Although there was an unintentional mistake involved, this result was indeed caused by the opponent.
This has cost seven lives; if they are not severely punished, what will become of the authority of the imperial law?
How will she explain this to the parents of those children?
" Qinghe, you cannot convict Tang San!"
Not long after Qian Renxue finished speaking, a group of figures dressed in luxurious clothes arrived quickly. The leader, a thin old man, arrogantly interrupted Qian Renxue.
"Greetings, Uncle Wang!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qian Renxue glanced indifferently at Ning Fengzhi, then bowed to him.
This person is none other than Prince Xue Xing, the younger brother of Xue Ye. He has always been highly regarded by Xue Ye and has always stood in Xue Beng's camp, often going against her, the crown prince.
The reason why Prince Xue Xing arrived at this time was probably due to Ning Fengzhi and his group's scheme.
The moment Qian Renxue saw Prince Xue Xing arrive, she guessed Ning Fengzhi and the others' scheme. Although she was dissatisfied, the other party had indeed done a flawless job.
Now he really had no way to deal with Tang San.
"Is Uncle Wang trying to protect Tang San, the murderer?"
Although she knew she couldn't convict Tang San this time, Qian Renxue still had to go through the motions, at least to expose the ugly faces of Prince Xue Xing and the others.
" Qinghe, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
With a cold smile, Prince Xue Xing glanced at Qian Renxue and gestured to the nobles following behind him.
"Your Highness, it's like this. We are the family elders of those kids from the Canghui Team. We have investigated this incident."
It was entirely because those kids harbored resentment after being defeated by the Shrek Team, and wanted to take advantage of the tournament to get revenge.
Fortunately, Tang San, a young hero, thwarted the children's scheme with his own strength. As for the children suffering the consequences, it was entirely their own fault, and we have decided not to pursue the matter further.
Several nobles stepped out from behind, smiling as they reported to Qian Renxue, while casting cold, threatening glances at the parents of the Canghui Team. Some of them were even playing with some objects in their hands.
Upon seeing those items, the parents' expressions changed drastically. Although they were furious, they could only resign themselves to their fate in the face of coercion against their loved ones.
"That's not all. It seems Uncle Wang has already arranged a noble status for Tang San, intending to use money to absolve him of the guilt for the deaths of the other two."
Qian Renxue, who saw through Ning Fengzhi and the others' scheme completely, also wore a cold smile; their despicable behavior truly disgusted her.
Just as my mother's kept man said, none of the aristocratic families, sects, or imperial nobles are any good!
"That's natural. According to the laws of my Heaven Dou Empire, nobles are not guilty of killing commoners; they only need to pay one Gold Soul Coin as a fine."
I've brought the fine with me, Qinghe, you come and count it!
As he spoke, Prince Xue Xing took out two Gold Soul Coin and handed them to Qian Renxue Qian Renxue, but before they could be handed to her, the two Gold Soul Coin were thrown to the ground.
"Oh dear! I'm sorry, Qinghe, as you know, I'm getting old and my hands are a bit shaky. Please pick up these two Gold Soul Coin and give them to the parents of those two lowly commoners."
Prince Xue Xing feigned an accident, a smile playing on his lips.
He had been thoroughly humiliated by this crown prince over the past few years, so being able to turn the tables this time made him secretly very pleased.
Tang San frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Although he also disliked doing things this way, for the honor of Shrek and for the efforts of his comrades over the years, he had no choice but to endure it.
