Chapter 170: Shi Nian's Murderous Intent, the Death Order

"Seven Shura Illusion!"

A few days later, in the twenty-fourth round of the Tiandou Competition Zone, Canghui Academy faced Zixing Academy; under the attack of the Seven Shura Illusion, Zixing Academy was defeated without any suspense.

After all, having already revealed this move previously, Shi Nian no longer bothered to hide anything.

Although the Seven Shura Illusion is at its strongest only when used for a surprise kill, now that it was completely exposed, many academies had already prepared countermeasures for this move, potentially preventing the opponent from successfully fusing to use it; however, having preparation and actually being able to pull it off are two different things.

To break this Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, it is absolutely impossible without ability reaching the level of the captains and vice-captains of the Element Academy.

In any case, the mere Zixing Academy could not do it.

But unfortunately, under the increase of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Shrek's Dai Mubai and Tang San likely possessed this capability.

"Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass, Triple Entanglement!"

"White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

Furthermore, there is Ning Rongrong, the little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; with two Title Douluo behind her, she is even more untouchable.

And among these three, Dai Mubai possesses the White Tiger Martial Soul, and coupled with his surname Dai, Shi Nian knew he could not afford to provoke him; after all, having roamed the continent for many years, he wouldn't be ignorant of the Star Luo royal family's inherited martial soul and national surname.

Moving against Ning Rongrong is equivalent to a death sentence.

After all, things like evidence are for the law enforcers to see.

That domineering nation would not tolerate its own prince being assassinated by a mere Shi Nian; once discovered, he would be finished.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are not law enforcers; if they want revenge, mere suspicion is enough. Sword Douluo is a bit better, but Bone Douluo is the type who would rather kill the wrong person than let one go.

Even if this Dai Mubai is a future castaway of their family, he cannot be killed by him; Dai Mubai can only die at the hands of his own brother. Anyone overstepping that boundary is a provocation to the Star Luo royal family.

As long as any one of these three is removed, Shrek will have no threat.

Just at this moment, the match list for the twenty-fifth round of the Preliminary Tournament appeared.

These two teams finally met; although this was not the final round, everyone knew this was the real battle for the last qualifying spot.

Shrek Academy VS Canghui Academy.

Both teams still had the same number of wins.

As long as she had an accident, he would inevitably be one of the suspects, and he would be dead for sure, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not find any evidence.

Shi Nian looked toward Shrek's direction with a vicious gaze; originally, he did not take this team seriously, but now, even if he had to use some small tricks, he had to ensure his own team advanced.

On the other side, also in the twenty-fourth round, Shrek Academy faced Guanghui Academy and successfully achieved victory under Tang San's control and Dai Mubai's fierce attack.

This point made Shi Nian increasingly restless; he had exhausted his efforts to research this Seven Shura Illusion specifically to let Canghui Academy shine in the Soul Master Tournament. If they couldn't even pass the preliminary rounds, he would never be reconciled.

Among the Shrek team, he could see that the three most critical people were the only Soul Ancestor, the captain Dai Mubai; the Support System's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong; and the Shrek main controller Tang San, who was clearly only at the Soul Elder level but mastered numerous Self-created Soul Skills and shone brilliantly in match after match, with actual strength completely not inferior to a Soul Ancestor.

Therefore, his target was only Tang San; his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, proving he could not be from any great family, and there didn't seem to be any major backing behind him.

Flender's strength was about the same as his own, and relying on the eeriness of his Remnant Dream Martial Soul, Shi Nian was not afraid of Flender at all.

So this was a person he could afford to provoke.

"For the sake of my Canghui Academy, please go to your death." Shi Nian looked at Tang San in the Shrek crowd with a cold, grim gaze.

From now on, until the match with Canghui Academy began, he would keep his eyes on this Tang San; as long as he caught an opportunity where the opponent was alone, he would not show the slightest mercy.

"Ho ho, I really didn't expect it; because of this little butterfly that is me, the schedule clearly changed, yet Shi Nian still developed murderous intent toward Tang San." In the VIP room, Nan Feihuang, who had arrived today, watched the big screen and laughed to himself.

The rest of the team had already gone to the Promotion Tournament zone to rest and prepare, waiting for the Tiandou Main Competition Zone preliminaries to end so the Promotion Tournament could officially begin.

Nan Feihuang had come to watch the remaining matches under the pretext of scouting the enemy.

In truth, he did not see Shi Nian's cold expression, but based on his understanding of Shi Nian, to ensure Canghui Academy's advancement, he had to eliminate Shrek's key figures.

And among those three key figures, the only one he could afford to provoke on the surface was Tang San.

Thus, he would inevitably look for an opportunity to make a move on him.

This could be considered a correction of history; Tang San's aptitude was insufficient, and he hadn't attracted Shi Nian's attention at the start, but due to the progression of the schedule, he still became a threat to Canghui Academy.

"Then, I will gratefully accept this 'Death' order." Nan Feihuang knew that Tang San would be fine.

Although compared to the original work, he lacked the Purple Demon Eye that had reached the third realm, and he lacked the key item for turning defeat into victory, Yama's Invitation.

However, Tang Hao was now highly likely to be secretly guarding by his side.

No matter how strong Shi Nian was, to Tang Hao, he was just a one-hammer job; he wouldn't even need to use his hammer. Even without using his martial soul, how could Shi Nian's physical constitution withstand a punch or kick from a Title Douluo?

When the time came, that Ten-Thousand-Year Gem-Type Skull Bone would still be taken by Tang San.

This soul bone, while not excessively superior, was a rare gem-type that could increase mental power, which was actually very suitable for his older sister, Nan Feiling.

Nan Feiling's various soul skills, such as the Angry Dragon Formation, relied on soul power to summon earth dragons, but after summoning them, controlling them to attack from different angles required the use of mental power.

With this soul bone, she would have a significant improvement in offense, control, and support.

Why leave good things for Shrek?

Since Tang San wouldn't die anyway, he might as well step in and take that soul bone fair and square.

Although his mother was not by his side now, Nan Feihuang was not without ways to intimidate Tang Hao.

There were both overt and covert methods.

Now, he just had to wait for Tang San to be alone.

Actually, Tang San had a nearly fixed time when he was alone: every day at dawn when there were no matches, he would go up to Heaven Dou Mountain, sit cross-legged, and practice the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

For Taoist Technique, practicing breathing exercises with the morning sun had the best effect. When he was still in Holy Soul Village, Tang San would go to the hillside to practice like this every day. As a fellow practitioner of Taoist Technique, Nan Feihuang was very clear about this.

Even if Shi Nian didn't know, with his murderous nature, as long as he wanted to kill someone, he would watch them every moment.

That would be the best time period.

"Hehe, then, let me go find a few helpers first." Nan Feihuang smiled, stepped out, and left the Soul Fighting Arena.
