That's enough.

Flender shouted.

Flender frowned; he was indeed chickening out. He said, "If I win, the bet is as Xiaogang said before. If I lose, it's as you said: I'll kneel down and tell you what happened that day."

"Dean Flender..."

Tang San and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Flender also warned Tang San and the others, "Remember this, no matter what, staying alive is the most important thing. Once you're dead, you have nothing left."

On one side of the field were Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, while on the other side was Dugu Yan.

Although it was four against one, they weren't very confident, after all, their opponent was Soul King with two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.

Tang San took the initiative to probe.

Tang San: First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement.

Dugu Yan: Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Purple Poison.

Just like in the original novel, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the other two cooperated to break Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, but that was all.

After being enhanced by Chen Mo, Dugu Yan is now many times stronger than in the original novel.

Dugu Yan chose her first three soul rings herself, but starting from the fourth ring, due to the body tempering and consumption of immortal Immortal Herb, she cultivated the Myriad Poison Body), which made her body's endurance far exceed that of ordinary people. She directly absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and with the Martial Soul Evolution, the skills she gained were different from those in the original story.

Fourth Soul Skill: Myriad Poison Bloodthirst.

A crimson gas filled the arena, and Tang San and the others sensed something was wrong. They held their breath, but it was no use, because the crimson gas could penetrate the panel and seep into their bodies.

In an instant, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar collapsed to the ground, poisoned and unable to fight.

Even Tang San, an expert in poisons, was barely holding on.

Tang San: What kind of poison is this? It's so strange and potent! Not only does it disrupt one's mind, but it can also penetrate the body through the panel. And it's not just one type of poison; I've recognized dozens of them, including some I've never even seen before. How did they manage to put so many poisons together without them interfering with each other?

Dugu Yan's move was not just a simple use of Soul Skill. Combining her Myriad Poison Body, Dugu Yan added nearly a hundred kinds of poisons to this Soul Skill. Not to mention a mere Soul Elder Soul Grandmaster, even a Soul Emperor would have to suffer a lot. Teacher Qin Ming once suffered terribly because of this move of his.

Tang San: Damn it! If I still had the power and poison skills from my previous life, what would mere snake venom be?

Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Tang San no longer cared about the dean's warning: unless in mortal danger, the use of Hidden Weapon was forbidden, especially in the sacred duel between Soul Master.

But now, I can't care about that anymore; I absolutely cannot lose.

Tang San took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, preparing to use it to deal with Dugu Yan.

aim.

Snap!

Before anyone knew it, Flender flew onto the field and slapped Tang San across the face, causing Tang San's Godly Zhuge Crossbow to fall to the ground.

Flender: Fifth Soul Skill, Wind Sweeps Away the Clouds.

A hurricane suddenly swept across the field, and the crimson smoke quickly dissipated, making everything on the field clear.

Flender said calmly, "We lost this battle!"

Then he turned his head and looked at Tang San coldly. "I told you, unless you are in mortal danger, you must never use your bullshit Hidden Weapon, especially in the sacred duel between Soul Master!"

Is this what you promised me?

Tang San clenched his fist. "Even though you are the respected dean, you can't insult Tang Sect Hidden Weapons like this. Besides, I'm doing this for you, aren't I?"

Tang San retorted defiantly, "But if we lose, then you'll have to..."

Flender interrupted Tang San, saying, "So what if we lose face? Haven't we lost enough today? As long as you're safe, it's worth it, even if I lose my other leg, let alone a little face."

"Dean Flender..."

"Boss Fu..."

At this moment, everyone at the Shrek Academy was inspired by Flender's spirit of sacrifice.

Even several Soul Master in the Imperial Fighting Team were moved by his words.

Flender looked at Dugu Yan: "You win. As agreed, I will 'kneel' and tell you what happened that day."

Dugu Yan said lightly, "After all, you are Professor Qin Ming's dean, so it wouldn't be right to make you kneel down. However, an agreement is an agreement, and we can't break it."

"Alright then, let that kid kneel for you. Anyway, I really don't like him; he makes me feel really uncomfortable."

Dugu Yan pointed her finger at Tang San, her meaning clear: kneeling was the only option; either she or Tang San knelt, it was a choice.

Flender frowned, and was about to speak when Tang San knelt down.

Tang San Lengleng said, "This matter arose because of [the incident], and I am willing to take the punishment in place of Dean Flender."

Dugu Yan sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of look is that? You're not convinced? Or are you just sore losers? Do you even know what kneeling means? Why are you standing so straight?"

"In my house, let alone servants, even a random dog would behave better than you. Do you even know what kneeling is? Your waist has to be bent, and your head has to touch the ground. That's what kneeling is!"

Dugu Yan looked at Tang San's furious eyes, as if he wanted to devour her.

Dugu Yan continued her taunts, her voice growing even colder. "Why don't you have your dean demonstrate how to kneel?"

Yu Xiaogang angrily shouted, "Leave a way out for yourself, so you can meet again in the future."

"You've already won, why be so aggressive? Don't you think this is ungentlemanly? Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of your Dugu Family with such behavior?"

Dugu Yan laughed, "Haha, that's hilarious! When did our Dugu Family ever have a good reputation?"

Some only have a bad reputation, a fearsome reputation.

Besides, you have to admit you're short, and endure the beatings to stand firm.

What do you take the duels between Soul Master for? Children playing house?

If that's the case, why bother coming to the Great Soul Arena? Every year, countless Soul Master die in this Great Soul Arena, not to mention those who are humiliated and lose their Soul Master.

Or are you Shrek only willing to accept being the winners, not the losers?

If you can't handle the game, then don't play. Not everyone will indulge you, and I certainly won't.

The victors have the right to dispose of the losers at will; this is a pre-established rule among Soul Master. I have already been very merciful.

Under Dugu Yan's coercion, Tang San gritted his teeth, his gums bleeding, and clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers pierced through the panel and into his flesh.

Tang San: Dugu Yan, I'll remember you. The humiliation you've brought me today, I Tang San, will repay a hundredfold one day. Not only you, Dugu Yan, but the entire Dugu Family will die. I, Tang San, swear that one day I will ensure that not a single member of your Dugu Family is spared...
