Imperial Fighting Team
The Grandmaster spread out the information about the Imperial Fighting Team on the table, introduced each member one by one, and then pointed to Dugu Yan's name.
"Their Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is the most difficult to deal with; it can corrode Soul Power, and ordinary purification methods won't last long. Do you have a solution for this venom?"
"Perhaps I can give it a try." Tang San's voice remained as steady as ever.
The Grandmaster nodded and put the documents back into the folder. "Alright, Tang San will handle Dugu Yan's poison. The rest of you, fight as you've always trained."
Wang Xingyu tapped his fan beside him, remembering that in the original story, it was because Xiao Wu was injured that Tang San unleashed his power, using the Eight Spider Lances to injure Dugu Yan Dugu Yan and break her poison, which made Dugu Bo target him. He glanced at Xiao Wu —with his current strength, it was basically impossible for the other side to hurt Xiao Wu.
It seems I'll have to be the actor myself this time.
The next evening, seven people went on stage, and this time Oscar got a break. Dai Mubai glanced at the Imperial Fighting Team opposite them, "Brothers, activate your Martial Soul."
All seven released their Soul Ring simultaneously.
The first yellow ring appeared beneath Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Wang Xingyu's feet. When the second purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring suddenly bloomed, the entire Soul Fighting Arena erupted in deafening gasps.
The host stood up excitedly, his voice drowning out the clamor of the entire audience. "The three members of Shrek have directly activated their Second Soul Ring! They didn't hold back! It seems they take this opponent very seriously!"
Yu Tianheng stood opposite him, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul faintly emanating from his body, blue lightning crackling on his arms.
His gaze swept over the Second Soul Ring beneath the feet of the three, and he nodded. "A second-generation spirit ring in a thousand years, indeed impressive. But three of you have Soul Power below level thirty." He paused, a hint of provocation in his tone, "Your overall strength is still a bit weak; you can't win by relying solely on your Soul Ring Configuration."
Dai Mubai put the fan back into his storage soul tool, his White Tiger martial soul manifesting, white tiger fur covering his entire body. He stared into Yu Tianheng's eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Then let's give it a try."
The referee gave the whistle.
Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng attacked almost simultaneously. With the double amplification of the White Tiger Protection Barrier and the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, the white Soul Power and the blue dragon claw collided fiercely in the air, and the shock wave kicked up all the dust on the arena.
Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lit up simultaneously, and her First Soul Skill, "First: Power," landed precisely on Dai Mubai. The moment the amplification entered his body, Yu Tianheng was forced back a step.
Before Dai Mubai could give chase, the Shi Mo Shi Mo brothers' Black Tortoise Shield had already been raised, the two heavy shield shadows blocking Dai Mubai's attack route from the left and right.
Yu Tianheng steadied himself, and the three of them pressed down on Dai Mubai, forcing him back two steps.
Tang San's Blue Silver vines spread out along the ground, about to Offshoot. Yu Tianheng 'Thunderous Might had already been fully charged, and blue lightning spread along the ground, electrifying the Blue Silver vines so that each one stood upright, and then they were charred black.
Tang San frowned slightly and gathered the Blue Silver vines together a bit—continuing to Offshoot wasn't impossible, but it would require more Soul Power, which wouldn't be worth the effort.
It seems the other side has also studied the Shrek Seven Devils' tactics.
Ma Hongjun puffed out his cheeks, and Phoenix Fire Line erupted, the crimson flames rushing straight towards Yu Tianheng.
The two brothers, Shi Mo Shi Mo, raised their shields simultaneously. The flames collided with the Black Tortoise Shield, creating a ring of fire, which was firmly blocked.
Taking advantage of a lull in the frontal firefight, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing circled around from the flanks. Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lit up, Second: Speed, two beams of light fell on the two of them, causing their speed to increase dramatically.
Imperial Fighting Team's Yu Feng and Osler immediately rushed forward. Yu Feng's wind blade blocked Zhu Zhuqing, but Osler couldn't defend against Xiao Wu's Moon Shadow. Two afterimages split to the left and right, and the real body had bypassed his blockade and rushed straight to the back row.
Yu Tianheng wanted to return to help, but was entangled by Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave.
Dugu Yan looked at Xiao Wu who had broken through, a cold smile on her lips, and her Third Soul Ring lit up— Jade Phosphor Purple Poison. Purple poisonous mist spread from her body, enveloping Xiao Wu.
Without hesitation, Xiao Wu activated her teleportation Teleportation. A flash of crimson light, and she was back in her own formation.
Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind and retreated from the poisonous fog, while Dai Mubai was pulled back by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. As soon as the three of them stood firm, the purple fog completely engulfed the area where they had just been standing.
Dugu Yan stood behind the poisonous fog, arms crossed, a smug smile on her lips. "Let's see how you break my poison."
Tang San didn't speak. He took out a wine pouch from his storage bag and tossed it overhead. The wine pouch tumbled in mid-air and hovered briefly above the purple mist.
Ma Hongjun puffed out his cheeks, and a Phoenix Fire Line accurately struck the wine sac. The strong liquor exploded in the air, turning into a scorching mist that sprayed into the purple poison cloud.
The moment the realgar wine mist and the Jade Phosphor Purple Poison touched, they hissed. The purple poison mist dissolved and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, vanishing in an instant.
Tang San looked up at Dugu Yan. "Is it really this bad?"
Ma Hongjun withdrew the spark from his mouth and gave Tang San a thumbs up.
"Third Brother is awesome! He completely crippled those snake women's signature skills."
Dugu Yan looked at the sky above, which had completely disappeared, and the smile on her face froze.
The two sides continued to fight. Shrek's side had a slightly lower Soul Power Level, but their Soul Ring Configuration was superior.
Wang Xingyu's Second Soul Skill, Flying Fluff, continuously replenished his teammates' Soul Power. On the Imperial Fighting Team's side, the healing light of Nine Heart Begonia also enveloped the entire team, but it did not restore Soul Power.
The game remained deadlocked.
Wang Xingyu stood in the back row. Dugu Yan was still quite agitated by the poison-breaking technique he had just witnessed, and he was staring intently at Tang San. His gaze swept between the two of them.
The two brothers Shi Mo Shi Mo, finally couldn't hold back any longer. At the same time, they removed the tortoise shells from their backs, holding the heavy Black Tortoise shells in their hands, their edges gleaming with a cold, somber light.
Wang Xingyu glanced at it and had an idea. With the tortoise shell removed, the defense would inevitably weaken.
He turned his head and lowered his voice. "Little San, they've removed their tortoise shells, so their defenses should be weaker. You and Ma Hongjun should focus your attacks on them."
Tang San nodded, and the Blue Silver vines quietly emerged. Wang Xingyu put away his fan and subtly moved a few steps to the side, exposing his original position where he was under the cover of his teammates.
Tang San seized the opportunity, and his Blue Silver vines spread out along the ground, Offshoot and activating. The vines wrapped around Shi Mo's ankles and calves from two directions, tightening abruptly.
Shi Mo froze for a moment, while Ma Hongjun puffed out his cheeks and unleashed a fiery Bathing Fire Phoenix combined with Phoenix Fire Line, the crimson fire lines blasting towards Shi Mo's face.
Shi Mo quickly raised the tortoise shell to block Shi Mo. The flames collided with the tortoise shell and exploded, the impact of which forced him back half a step, but the flames could not penetrate it.
Shi Mo steadied himself and took the tortoise shell from Shi Mo, holding two thick pieces of Black Tortoise shell in his hands.
His gaze swept across the Shrek Academy formation, catching sight of the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master standing alone at the side front, exposed outside the defensive circle. "A good opportunity!" He exerted force with both arms, his Third Soul Ring lit up, and two tortoise shells flew out of his hands, wrapped in Soul Power, spinning rapidly in the air, whistling towards Wang Xingyu.
