Two Paths Meet Again

Soto Great Soul Arena.

The lights in the central main Soul Fighting Zone were not yet fully on.

The stands were already more than half full.

Shouts, betting noises, and the announcer's voice mingled together, penetrating the thick stone walls and reaching the upper spectator area.

The Imperial Fighting Team sat in the back.

Qin Ming did not arrange a fifth team Soul Fighting.

It was simply for everyone to observe.

"Soul Fighting Arena."

"Let's see how the teams here play."

"Don't just look at the Soul Skill."

"Let's see when they use their Soul Skill."

Yu Feng leaned back in his seat.

The opponents in the first four matches were not strong.

"Does the fifth game still require special observation?"

Qin Ming didn't look at him.

"When you first lost to Dong Jian."

"I also feel like they can't reach you."

Yu Feng immediately shut up.

Osler chuckled.

On the Soul Fighting Arena.

The host raised his hand.

"Next up is the Shrek Seven Devils, who have already achieved seven consecutive victories!"

A cheer erupted from the audience.

Seven figures emerged from the passage.

The young man walking at the front was tall.

Her blonde hair fell down her back.

Heterochromia (different colored eyes)

The moment his foot landed, it already carried an extremely strong sense of pressure.

"Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai."

Qin Ming looked at the audience.

The voice was a little lower than usual.

Shrek.

That name was not unfamiliar to him.

Behind Dai Mubai.

Tang San stepped onto the Soul Fighting Stage.

Blue outfit.

A thin ribbon woven from Blue Silver Grass was wrapped around her waist.

He maintained a composed demeanor.

Compared to two years ago.

His aura was completely different.

Three Soul Ring slowly rose up.

Two yellows.

One purple.

Dugu Yan's gaze narrowed slightly.

"Three-ring Control System."

"The publicly available information states it was level 33."

Li Man looked at the Third Soul Ring under Tang San's feet.

"It's not young."

The purple Soul Ring is a deeper color than a regular Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

It even carried a hint of unsettling gloom.

Dong Jian remained silent.

He could sense it.

Tang San's center of gravity is much more stable than it was two years ago.

Stand in the center of the line.

However, the body was not completely relaxed.

Attacks can occur from any direction, including front, back, left, and right.

He can change direction in the shortest amount of time.

Xiao Wu followed beside Tang San.

Two yellow and one purple.

Level 32 Battle Soul Elder.

Her long braid hung down her back.

Light footsteps.

The body appears to be unprepared.

In reality, the waist and legs are always in a state of being able to generate explosive power.

Further back.

Zhu Zhuqing.

Ma Hongjun.

Ning Rongrong.

Oscar.

The seven people did not stand in a rigid straight line.

The distance between them was just right so that they could look after each other.

Shi Mo looked at Qin Ming.

"Do the teachers know them?"

Qin Ming replied:

I graduated from Shrek.

Everyone in the Imperial Fighting Team looked over at the same time.

Qin Ming did not explain the past.

"Let's watch the game first."

Shrek's opponent is also a seven-person team.

Their average Soul Power is close to level 32.

Two Power Attack System stood at the front.

The Agility Attack System split up from both flanks.

They're clearly planning to suppress Shrek's backline first.

The referee's arm fell.

"Start!"

"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"

Two Soul Ring lit up on Ning Rongrong's body.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is released.

The increase in both power and speed occurred simultaneously forward.

Dai Mubai's body suddenly swelled up.

The White Tiger Martial Soul has possessed him.

A low growl.

They faced two Power Attack System Soul Master head-on.

Bang!

The first collision.

The two opponents retreated simultaneously.

The increase is very strong.

Yu Tianheng said.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Dugu Yan answered.

"One of the strongest support Martial Soul on the continent."

The opponent's two Agility Attack System have already circled around to the rear.

One person lunged at Ning Rongrong.

Another person attacked Oscar.

Tang San did not turn around.

The First Soul Ring lit up.

"Entanglement."

Blue Silver Grass suddenly rose from the edge of the Soul Fighting Arena.

It doesn't directly entangle two Agility Attack System.

Instead, it blocked their only route.

The two jumped up to avoid it.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing moved at the same time.

Xiao Wu approached someone from the front.

The body spins in the air.

She wrapped her legs around the other person's shoulders and neck.

The Waist Bow.

The Agility Attack System Soul Master was thrown directly towards the center.

Zhu Zhuqing then disappeared from the other person's sight.

Hell Stab.

The claws struck his back.

To force the other party to change direction.

Tang San's Second Soul Ring then lit up.

Blue Silver Grass sprang out from beside Zhu Zhuqing's feet.

It's not about attacking the enemy.

Instead, it wrapped itself around Zhu Zhuqing's waist.

Pull her out of the opponent's counterattack range.

The movements were extremely fast.

Not a single unnecessary instruction was given.

Li Man observed the movement of the Blue Silver Grass.

"His sphere of control has expanded."

"Moreover, Blue Silver Grass isn't just used for restriction."

"It can also change teammates' positions."

Dong Jian nodded.

Two years ago.

Tang San already knows how to use Blue Silver Grass for rescue.

But now.

The location, timing, and angle at which the vines appear are now more accurate.

It's like knowing in advance what your teammates need next.

On the field.

The opponent's Control System finally made their move.

Large vines rose from the ground.

They attempted to divide the seven Shrek members.

Tang San looked up.

The third purple Soul Ring lit up.

Purple light spread from beneath their feet.

"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint!"

A wisp of blue-purple spider web shot out from the palm of his hand.

It unfolded rapidly in the air.

It doesn't cover just one person.

Instead, they directly pressed their attack between the opponent's Control System and two Power Attack System.

The spider web fell.

All three were forced to retreat simultaneously.

One of the Power Attack System used fire to attack the spider web.

The blue-purple spider silk did not break immediately.

The surface, on the contrary, exuded a faint purple aura.

"Poisonous."

Dugu Yan said.

"And it's very sticky."

Li Man looked towards the center of the spider web.

"The Third Soul Ring should come from a spider-type Soul Beast."

"It's very likely an old Man Faced Demon Spider."

Qin Ming turned his head.

"Why?"

"The spider web is not simply a condensation of Soul Power."

Li Man said:

It contains both plant fiber and spider silk characteristics.

"It's rare for ordinary spider-type Soul Beast to cause this kind of change in Blue Silver Grass."

Dong Jian continued to observe.

After Tang San released the spider web.

His complexion did not change noticeably.

The Third Soul Skill consumes a significant amount of resources.

But he did not relinquish control because of this.

The Blue Silver Grass still connects the front and back.

Dai Mubai seized the opportunity.

The White Tiger Fierce Light Wave erupted head-on.

Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line swept past from the side.

The two attacks do not completely overlap.

However, this blocked all of the opponent's retreat positions.

The opponent's formation quickly collapsed.

Tang San simply took one step forward.

The Blue Silver Grass tightened at the same time.

The seven attackers then synchronized their attack rhythm.

Less than fifteen minutes.

The match is over.

The Shrek Seven Devils win.

None of the seven players on the field actually withdrew from the fight.

Yu Feng sat up straight.

"More difficult to deal with than described in the documents."

Osler said:

"That Tang San is the most troublesome one."

"Dai Mubai is strong head-on."

"At least it's visible."

"Where does the Blue Silver Grass come from?"

"It's difficult to predict in advance."

Dugu Yan asked:

"Where's the poison?"

Dong Jian replied:

"Tang San understands medicine."

"We were able to process some of the toxins before."

"Now we'll only need to prepare more."

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison should not be used as a direct means of victory."

Dugu Yan showed no dissatisfaction.

"Then treat it as a road closure."

"It can't be that even his Blue Silver Grass isn't poisonous enough to harm him."

Li Man looked at the Soul Fighting Arena.

"Not necessarily."

His Third Soul Ring came from a spider-type Soul Beast.

"Blue Silver Grass's resilience and poison resistance may have both been improved."

Qin Ming did not immediately discuss tactics.

Just ask:

"Do they still have any unused abilities?"

Dong Jian remained silent for a moment.

"Tang San must still exist."

"Why?"

"He never truly left the center of the group from beginning to end."

Dong Jian said:

"The other side failed to force him to get close."

He also didn't use his preferred footwork or hand techniques.

"That one just now."

Shrek wasn't pushed to the limit.

Qin Ming nodded.

Remember this judgment.

The Soul Fighting is over.

The Shrek Seven Devils left through the passage.

Tang San suddenly stopped.

He looked up at the spectator area.

My gaze traveled through the crowd.

The blame fell on Dong Jian and Li Man.

Two years have passed.

Dong Jian is now much taller than he was during Notting's time.

His demeanor was calm and composed.

Although sitting.

His feet naturally landed in the most convenient position to exert force.

Li Man sat beside him.

The Green Jade Bamboo did not release its energy.

His fingers tapped lightly on his knee.

It was as if it was calculating the location of each Blue Silver Grass appearance.

Xiao Wu followed Tang San's gaze.

Their eyes lit up immediately.

"It really is them."

Dai Mubai asked:

"Know?"

"A student from the Nuoding Academy."

Tang San answered.

"Also an opponent."

None of the Imperial Fighting Team participated.

Shrek didn't come up on his own initiative.

The two sides only glanced at each other across the stands.

short.

But that's enough.

That night.

Qin Ming received the fifth team match sent by the Great Soul Arena.

On the paper.

The two teams' names are listed side by side.

Imperial Fighting Team.

The Shrek Seven Devils.

Inside the meeting room.

All nine people were present.

Qin Ming placed the documents on the desktop.

This time.

The Shrek ranking system is now more complete.

Dai Mubai, Level 38.

Tang San, level 33.

Xiao Wu, Level 32.

Oscar, Level 31.

Ma Hongjun, Class of 2028.

Zhu Zhuqing, Class of 28.

Ning Rongrong, Class of 2027.

Shi Mo frowned.

Only three people have Soul Power level exceeding thirty.

"Yet they maintained a seven-game winning streak."

Therefore, one cannot judge solely by rank.

Qin Ming said.

Dugu Yan picked up Tang San's information.

Level 33.

"Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Restraint."

"Control range, toxicity, toughness."

"That's all the information you have?"

This is all the publicly available information.

Qin Ming answered.

"There is no confirmed record of the origin of the Third Soul Ring."

Li Man said:

"It should be the Man Faced Demon Spider."

Tang San's Third Soul Ring has a very obvious spider web structure.

But what if it really is Man Faced Demon Spider?

The process of absorbing that Soul Ring will definitely not be easy.

Especially since Tang San was still quite young at the Shi Nian.

Dong Jian looked at the documents.

There is no mention of the Third Key Spirit to Dragon Spine Valley.

That matter has nothing to do with Tomorrow's Soul Fighting.

Furthermore, we must not let past doubts interfere with our judgment.

Yu Tianheng asked:

How to choose the seven players to play?

Nine people.

Seven positions.

Facing the current Shrek.

This time, the choice cannot be based solely on familiarity.

Qin Ming did not announce it immediately.

"Please state your judgment first."

Osler spoke first.

"I'll go."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the food system need to be handled by someone."

Yu Feng said:

"It's easier for me to cross the Blue Silver Grass from the air."

"Only I can control Ma Hongjun."

Shi Mo said:

"Dai Mubai at level 38."

"Xiao Wu is level 32."

"And Zhu Zhuqing."

"Only one Black Tortoise."

"A positive outlook might not be enough."

Li Man looked at Tang San's formation diagram.

"If both defenses are deployed at the same time."

Tang San will have Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing avoid facing them directly.

"Pull from both sides."

"We will be anchored around Ye Lingling."

Dong Jian said:

"I can add a mobile front-line unit."

"But for Dai Mubai."

One Black Tortoise must be preserved.

Dugu Yan tapped on the table.

"Tang San has a three-ring Control System."

"We can't compete with him using just one control bit."

Qin Ming finally picked up the name tag.

Yu Tianheng.

Dugu Yan.

Ye Lingling.

Shi Mo.

Yu Feng.

Dong Jian.

Li Man.

Seven nameplates were placed on the table.

Osler remained silent.

Shi Mo only glanced at his brother.

Qin Ming said:

The Shi Mo is responsible for bearing the load on the front.

"Dong Jian is in charge of the mobile support point."

"Yu Feng provides aerial vision and suppresses the backline."

"Dugu Yan and Li Man must work together to deal with Tang San."

"Not defeat him."

"It prevents his Blue Silver Grass from comfortably connecting with the entire team."

Osler asked:

Why wasn't it me cutting the back row?

"Because Tang San has already reached the third ring."

Qin Ming answered.

"The Spider Web Restraint are sufficient to cover the rear aisle."

"After you enter."

"He will likely be facing Spiderweb, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously."

"Yu Feng can at least force them to lose their attention from the air."

Osler leaned back in his chair.

There was no further argument.

"Win."

He looked at Dong Jian.

"Next game, you'll play two against two against me."

"Can."

The starting lineup has been confirmed.

Tang San's three Soul Ring.

This has made everyone reassess their judgment.

But Imperial Fighting Team was unaware of this.

That Man Faced Demon Spider Soul Ring was given to Tang San.

It's not just Spider Web Restraint.

At Shrek's place.

Tang San took off his shirt.

Both sides of the spine on the back.

Eight tiny bumps are slowly moving under the skin.

A flash of purplish-black light appeared.

Then it fell silent again.

Xiao Wu stood at the door.

Will you use it tomorrow?

Tang San put his clothes back on.

"If it's not necessary."

"Need not."

"They are not the same people they were at the Nuoding Academy."

Xiao Wu said.

"Dong Jian and Li Man both live near the Third Ring Road."

"I know."

Tang San looked out the window.

"So, the Eight Spider Lances."

"We must wait until they think they've seen through me."
