Chapter 229: Tang San Like a Loach
The Spirit Luan Martial Void Art quickly stacked to over sixty layers.
Tang San was the first to unleash a Self-Created Soul Skill, yet he barely managed to break through forty layers.
Because his technique was not proficient, ever since the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique broke through thirty-six layers, the number of layers Tang San stacked dropped significantly.
Many times, he would swing the hammer, but the layer count would not increase, counting as wasted effort.
If not for his own insights into swinging the hammer, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique would have broken long ago.
Wu Qi did not want to continue stacking; the Spirit Luan Martial Void Art consumed a massive amount of soul power.
Tang San was only the third to enter the arena, with four people behind him; he could not afford to over-consume soul power in this match.
Whether he could complete a one-versus-seven, he had no confidence, but eliminating as many opponents as possible was his goal.
With this thought, he stopped clashing head-on with Tang San and instead activated his Fourth Soul Skill.
The Wind Whirl Wandering Dragon Body merged with the Spirit Luan Martial Void Art, his body becoming like a blurred shadow, his movement technique realm rising to an incredible level.
Tang San was shocked and was forced to interrupt the execution of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
The Clear Sky Hammer, with the power of forty stacked layers, smashed down fiercely toward the ground beneath his feet.
"Your speed is too slow!"
Avoiding the Clear Sky Hammer's attack, Wu Qi's attack arrived in an instant!
Tang San had nowhere to dodge and could only rely on the hardness of the Clear Sky Hammer itself to take the blow.
Yet at the very last moment, Wu Qi withdrew his offensive.
Just as Tang San was puzzled, his figure flipped, his legs clamping around Tang San's neck, exerting sudden force to easily throw him to the ground.
To Wu Qi, there was no need to use a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken.
Yesterday, Tang San's all-out battle with Yu Tianxin, the amplification effects of his soul skills, and the power unleashed by the Clear Sky Hammer had long since been seen through by Wu Qi.
In Wu Qi's eyes, Tang San was no different from someone running naked.
Before Tang San could crawl to his feet, the Crane Cloud Wings slashed out a wheel of blade light.
"Wing Blade Slash!"
Aside from relying on the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul to stand before him for defense, Tang San had no other way.
Even whenever he thought of crawling to his feet, Wu Qi would not let him have his way at all.
Just like that, Tang San could only fight while lying on the ground.
In order to crawl to his feet, he even went as far as switching between his two martial souls, pushing his combat power to the limit.
……
"Is this Tang San a loach?" Qiangu Changkong laughed until he clutched his stomach.
It had to be said, this scene was full of drama.
Tang San had no chance to crawl to his feet at all; even during the gaps when Wu Qi withdrew his moves, he could not do it.
The airflow on the arena had long since been completely controlled by Wu Qi.
Lying on the ground had less wind resistance, so he wouldn't be blown off the arena; if he stood up, he would likely be eliminated directly!
"Not good, Xiao San has completely fallen into a passive state." The Shrek members watching the battle were anxious.
The attack power of the Clear Sky Hammer required the coordinated force of the entire body's muscle groups.
Now that Tang San was lying on the ground, how could he exert force?
If the fight continued like this, was there any suspense left in this match?
Once Tang San was eliminated, the three strongest members of the Shrek Team would all be out, so how would the remaining four, including Xiao Wu, face Feng Xiaotian later?
Other academy teams watching the battle said with faces full of mockery: "The Shrek Team is nothing more than this; in the past, they just encountered weak teams. Facing strong teams, they only have the fate of being eliminated!"
Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai did not drain Wu Qi's state; after Tang San entered the arena, both sides were barely evenly matched at first, but as Wu Qi exerted his power, the match became a one-sided affair.
Tang San, lying on the ground, couldn't even stand up, so how could he talk about a counterattack?
These team members deliberately raised their voices, targeting the Ferocious Beast Academy both openly and secretly.
Yesterday, Meng Yiran had sworn that Shrek would win, but with the current situation, her face had been slapped swollen.
However, at this moment, Meng Yiran had already arrived at the Shrek Team's rest area and could not hear the discussions of these people.
"Yiran, why are you here?" Yu Tianheng was stunned.
During the competition, two teams with no connection appearing overly intimate would inevitably lead to excessive speculation.
Furthermore, Yu Tianheng's status was special, and Meng Yiran entering the public eye of the entire continent too early was somewhat troublesome.
In front of the Shrek members, Meng Yiran presented a ladylike image, and Liu Erlong was very satisfied with her.
"Tianheng, what kind of tone is that? Can't Yiran come?"
Yu Tianheng gave an awkward smile and said no more.
Meng Yiran first greeted Liu Erlong, then immediately asked: "How is your match going?"
It went without saying that Shrek Academy would undoubtedly lose this match, but losing with a score of six to seven and losing with a score of one to seven were two completely different concepts.
Right now, Tang San was destined to be eliminated, and Meng Yiran did not know the strength of the others, so she had to ask.
Yu Tianheng smiled bitterly and said: "The situation is not ideal; I hope Tang San can drain more of Wu Qi's state."
Of course, he and Dai Mubai felt very guilty.
If they hadn't been eliminated without doing anything, Tang San wouldn't have been so passive.
……
On the arena.
Facing the wind blade offensive, Tang San had no chance to fight back at all.
The only good news was that Shao Xin's Sugar Bean had a very strong recovery effect, and the injuries on his body could be recovered in a short time.
But the effect of the Sugar Bean had a time limit and could not provide amplification indefinitely.
As the frequency of restoring himself increased, the amplification effect of the Sugar Bean had become extremely weak.
"I must act as quickly as possible!" Feeling the state of his body, Tang San frowned deeply.
But having entered Wu Qi's combat rhythm, how could it be easy to turn the tables?
No matter how desperately Tang San tried to resist, he ultimately could not escape the fate of being eliminated.
In this match, Wu Qi not only exhausted all the medicinal power of the Sugar Bean but also severely wounded Tang San.
Fortunately, the quality of his soul power had improved; otherwise, once this battle ended, Wu Qi would also have had no strength left to fight.
Concerned for Tang San's safety, Liu Erlong immediately rushed to the side of the arena.
Seeing that he had only suffered superficial injuries and that his internal organs were unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, right now, Tang San's condition urgently required treatment, or it would affect tomorrow's match.
Liu Erlong carried him back to the camp, reminding them before leaving: "Wu Qi's soul power consumption is immense; eliminate him as soon as possible. If the next person to appear from the Seven Treasures Team is Feng Xiaotian, concede immediately; do not linger in the fight."
"Yiran, let's go see Tang San." Yu Tianheng stood up and hurried toward the camp.
If not for him, Tang San would not have suffered such injuries.
Dai Mubai was also worried about Tang San's safety: "Xiao Wu, for the upcoming matches, you decide whether to go up based on the situation; I'll go check on Xiao San first."
Tang San was seriously injured, and Xiao Wu felt as if her heart were being twisted by a knife.
On the arena, Wu Qi once again put on a display of weakness, which made her see hope for revenge.
"I will go eliminate Wu Qi, and then try my best to eliminate the next team member in a one-for-one trade."
"Zhu Qing, you also try your best to eliminate one person; don't let our record look too ugly."
After speaking, Xiao Wu walked toward the arena on her own.
Wu Qi had completed a "one-versus-three," and the ones he eliminated were the three strongest students of the Shrek Team, which carried high prestige.
The spectators remarked with regret: "A one-versus-three is already quite good; if the Shrek Team's order of appearance had been different, he very likely could have achieved a one-versus-six."
PS: I forgot to set the automatic update again; remember to remind me in the fan group.
