Chapter 190

Hu Liena and Xie Yue's martial soul fusion skill's biggest feature is control; within the demon charm skill's control range, everyone's senses will be reduced by fifty percent, soul power suppressed by fifty percent, and all actions delayed by fifty percent.

It can be said that as soon as this skill is unleashed, it instantly pushes the opponent into a desperate situation.

Moreover, that thick red mist is a special energy mixed with killing intent and hallucinogenic properties; besides imposing three negative states, the most terrifying aspect is that within this red mist, only those who unleash the martial soul fusion skill—Xie Yue and Hu Liena—can see.

Suddenly losing sight will undoubtedly throw one's mind into disarray, let alone when the whole body is weakened; even opponents of the same rank as Xie Yue and his allies would not know how many would fall prey to this martial soul fusion skill.

The effect of this soul skill is comparable to the sixth soul skill of a Soul Saint after unleashing their martial soul true body.

Watching as the Shrek Academy members were swallowed into the red mist, the other members of the Spirit Hall Academy team couldn't help but reveal a faint cold smile.

Tang San indeed brought them many surprises, but how could Tang San alone possibly be their opponent?

After all, the competition is a team event, not a solo performance.

Upon entering the pink mist range, the Shrek team members clearly felt their bodies grow heavier, their perception instantly became dull, and even lifting a hand or taking a step felt as if obstructed by an invisible barrier, making things much more difficult.

But no one panicked; at the moment before being enveloped by the red mist, aside from Tang San, the Soul Masters among the remaining six people surrounded Oscar in the center, while Oscar, as if nothing had happened, continued to make his sausages according to the previous plan.

"Clang—!"

Two clear sounds rang out in the red mist, and at the same time a gender‑neutral exclamation sounded.

"How could you possibly know the direction of my attack?" asked the fusion of Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

The red mist did not block Xie Yue and Hu Liena's vision; they clearly saw a faint smile on Tang San's face, and in his black eyes a hint of purple rose.

Tang San can see within the demonic allure thanks to his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes, though his current Purple Extreme Magic Eyes are not as strong as in the original story, so his visual range is limited.

That's why he moved to close in on the opponent right from the start.

As the leader of the martial soul fusion skill, Xie Yue hurriedly exerted force; under the fusion skill's activation, his soul power at this moment equaled the sum of his and Hu Liena's, further boosted by the full support of an auxiliary Soul Master, reaching at least rank seventy.

Although they lacked the true form of their martial souls, thanks to the terrifying soul‑power amplification their strength increased greatly—yet the two moon blades were blocked by the Haotian Hammer, and Tang San's personal power seemed to match theirs after the fusion skill's boost.

"Is this the powerful boost from absorbing a soul ring beyond one's level?" Xie Yue and Hu Liena thought simultaneously.

Tang San's first soul ring on his body flared to life, activating his first soul skill, the Hammer of Concentration, which directly knocked the demonic allure back several meters; though the demonic allure was unharmed, it gave Tang San room to act.

In an instant Tang San's left‑hand Haotian Hammer vanished, replaced by blue‑silver grass in his right hand; four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—pulsed on his body. Seizing the opening, the blue‑silver grass wrapped upward, followed by a web bind and a blue‑silver prison, and finally a parasitic hair move.

After subduing the demonic allure, Tang San's blue‑silver grass shot toward his teammates; the six of them huddled together, and the grass instantly reached their waists before he flung it hard toward the Spirit Hall team's position.

This is Tang San's plan: the demonic allure is indeed powerful, but it has a fatal weakness—it ignores friend and foe alike, which is why the Spirit Hall team did not advance when the demonic allure attacked.

Therefore, as long as Tang San sends his teammates before the Spirit Hall team, the demonic allure will have to focus on him alone.

Otherwise, while the demonic allure weakens the Spirit Hall team's members, he can use his Purple Extreme Magic Eyes to seek out and eliminate their other members first.

It must be said, having intelligence is advantageous—it lets one know and prepare in advance, then respond with countermeasures one by one. Meanwhile, what the outside world saw was quite different: as the gender‑neutral exclamation faded, six figures shot up from the red mist.

Ordinary Soul Masters cannot tell direction in this red mist at all; once stuck, they cannot escape unless they are flying‑type Soul Masters.

At this moment Tang San's blue‑silver grass flung the six people out, undoubtedly seizing that opening.

A tiger's roar burst from Dai Mubai's mouth; still mid‑air, his first soul skill, White Tiger Shield, and third soul skill, White Tiger Diamond Transformation, exploded simultaneously, causing his body to inflate rapidly in mid‑air.

Zhu Zhuqing pushed off the blue‑silver grass with her toes, her speed surging as she instantly caught up to Dai Mubai, her whole body silently pressing against his back, waiting for a chance to strike.

Massive flame wings unfurled from Ma Hongjun's back, Meng Yiran dropped straight to the ground, and Tai Long continued guarding Oscar's side as everyone instantly entered battle mode.

Seeing this, the people of the Spirit Hall academy were slightly surprised but showed little reaction; instead, a cold smile appeared on their faces.

The gender‑neutral voice in the red mist shouted scornfully: "Do you think you can escape my martial soul fusion skill just like that?"

In an instant the red mist surged outward, almost instantly shifting as a whole; the vast fog once again enveloped the Shrek members who had just released their soul skills.

Even Tang San's all‑out blue‑silver grass could only restrain the demonic allure for less than two seconds.

Although they had been flung by Tang San's blue‑silver grass, the Shrek academy members were still nearly twenty meters from the Spirit Hall team, so they could not yet use this to hinder the demonic allure's pursuit.

Even now, Ma Hongjun's blazing phoenix wings could not affect the red mist in the slightest.

This red mist burst forth from the fusion of Xie Yue and Hu Liena; seeing the Shrek Six break free of the martial soul fusion skill's range, Xie Yue immediately abandoned his attack on Tang San, instead accelerating and driving the mist with his body to once again envelop the Shrek members.

With the aid of an auxiliary Soul Master, this time his red mist spread over a larger area, covering nearly three‑quarters of the field, leaving only the other members of his Spirit Hall side uncovered.

With the help of the assisting Soul Master, this time his red mist's dispersed area was larger, almost covering three quarters of the field; only the other teammates on their Spirit Hall side were not covered.

With just that single word, in an instant a faint light blossomed behind each Shrek member, forming wings; their bodies nearly simultaneously accelerated, bursting out of the red mist in a flash and soaring into the air.

From the start of the match, Oscar had been nonstop making his sausages; the first was an excited pink sausage, which he gave to Tang San. He then quickly produced six flight mushroom sausages, one for himself and each of the other five.

From the start of the match, Oscar kept making his sausages, the first one was an excited pink sausage, which he gave to Tang San. Then he quickly produced six flying mushroom sausages, giving one each to himself and the other five.

At this moment, using it, he just broke free from the opponent's martial soul fusion technique control.

Although Yaomei had been trying to limit the other Shrek Academy members from the very start, just to not give Oscar time to make sausages, but now it seems all this didn't disturb him.

However, Yaomei saw that, aside from Tang San, the other Shrek members had escaped the red mist, yet showed no expression, because they had already estimated this situation.

Even if those six escaped, what then? The Spirit Hall still has five people left; except for one support type with no combat ability, among the other four, three have soul power above rank forty-five, and Yan, who is also of the Golden Generation like them, is a Soul King at rank fifty-two.

And Shrek? A group whose highest soul power is only rank forty-two Soul Ancestors, plus a Tailong at only rank thirty-eight? Aside from using flight to evade, how could they possibly be opponents of the other Spirit Hall academy members?

Although they couldn't eliminate all of Shrek right away, this merely means using a bit more time.

Yaomei turned his head to look at Tang San; as long as they captured Tang San, the other Shrek Academy members would be easy prey? ps: typo, fix later.
