Chapter 353

Another complete victory.

Zheng Zhan glanced at Tang Wulin thoughtfully; for some reason, he always felt Tang Wulin's combat strength was stronger than before.

That was naturally an illusion; Tang Wulin's combat strength hadn't changed, the biggest difference being that he finally didn't hold back in this match.

In previous matches, to avoid seriously injuring his opponent, Tang Wulin usually restrained the power of his soul skills, lest he accidentally kill them.

This time, he finally didn't need to hold back, so with full power unleashed, he seemed much stronger.

Even though another person had died, the audience still found it hard to feel disgust toward Tang Wulin.

Lu Genggeng's grotesque appearance right after releasing his martial soul was seen by everyone; humans are visual creatures, and to them this match looked like a handsome hero judging an evil monster—no disgust, and it even boosted Tang Wulin's popularity.

Tang Wulin again pulled out the sealed Milk Bottle to absorb, not even glancing at the Holy Spirit Sect side.

To him, those people were just a bunch of corpses, not worth paying attention to.

On the presidential platform, Xu Tianran asked Zhongli Wu:

"Your Excellency National Teacher, why don't we concede? It looks like the contestant named Tang Wulin is far stronger than your sect's genius; continuing would only increase casualties."

However, Zhongli Wu shook his head.

"No, I heard this kid is a disciple of the Dragon God Douluo Mu En; if we can expend a few juniors to gain his information, I think it's still worthwhile."

When mentioning Mu En, a fleeting hint of wariness crossed his eyes, which then turned into ruthlessness.

"Alright then."

Xu Tianran feigned helplessness and shook his head.

For the Holy Spirit Sect, he naturally wanted as many gifted young people to die as possible, and since Tang Wulin was destined to be an enemy, learning his information was also good.

For him, this match was originally like a clam and a snipe fighting; asking Zhongli Wu whether to give up was merely a pretense—he hoped both sides would suffer mutual loss.

Upon hearing Zhongli Wu actually refuse, he naturally chose to comply.

At this moment on the competition stage, Tang Wulin's next opponent had already arrived.

"Holy Spirit Sect, Tang Dai."

This Tang Dai was very tall, only half a head shorter than Lu Genggeng, but extremely slender.

After the first two matches, Zheng Zhan had fully determined Tang Wulin's purpose; he gave Tang Wulin a somewhat complex look, opened his mouth, and said something in a very low voice.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but startle.

The comment made by the Ri Yue Di Guo's Class 9 Soul Engineer judge seemed to be "Be careful"? It turns out the high officials of this country still feel disgust toward Evil Soul Masters.

Tang Wulin put away the Milk Bottle and nodded at him.

Zheng Zhan also fell silent, and soon announced:

"Match start!"

As the voice fell, Tang Dai abruptly stepped forward several paces.

During those steps, his appearance underwent a horrifying change.

With each step, his body grew a bit larger; when the transformation finished, his massive body was actually half a meter taller than Lu Genggeng, but he wasn't as obese as disgust—he turned into a huge skeleton composed entirely of dark-gold bone.

Seeing this transformation, the audience below couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Xu Tianran on the presidential platform also couldn't help but frown.

He wasn't particularly opposed to this change, but seeing the crowd's reaction, he knew he couldn't let the Holy Spirit Sect go too far; he wanted to be a sage ruler for the ages, not a tyrant of evil.

"Skeleton King: both physical and energy defenses are extremely strong, excels in physical attacks, weakness is lack of ranged attacks."

Huo Yutong's voice again echoed in Tang Wulin's mind, helping him understand the opponent's abilities.

Good at physical attacks and incapable of ranged attacks?

Tang Wulin raised his eyebrows, lifted his hand, and his third and fifth soul rings lit up.

The Blue Silver Emperor Ancient Spirit Formation and the Water King Deep Sea Domain were released simultaneously, enveloping the entire competition stage.

Then, countless azure-blue giant vines sprang from beneath Tang Dai's feet, winding toward him.

Since Tang Dai had become a huge skeleton, no one could see his expression, but the audience could clearly see his body noticeably stall for a moment.

Under the influence of both domains, even though Tang Dai was a Soul Emperor, he couldn't help feeling extremely uncomfortable.

More importantly, he could clearly feel his soul power draining at a terrifying rate; if this continued, even if he did nothing, within five minutes his soul power would be completely depleted by the Blue Silver Emperor Ancient Spirit Formation.

He must close in on the opponent! Tang Dai instantly decided, lifted his foot, and tried to approach Tang Wulin.

But the instant he lifted his foot, countless Water-attribute Blue Silver Emperor vines coiled up, impeding his movement.

Then he faced the dilemma every purely physical-attack soul master encounters when facing Tang Wulin: pure physical attacks are nearly useless against the Water-attribute Blue Silver Emperor.

Although he could brute-force forward with sheer strength, the cost was not only extremely slow speed but also tremendous consumption.

At this point, the tyranny of Tang Dai as an Evil Soul Master Soul Emperor became evident: his soul rings glowed, his already tall body expanded another notch, a bone blade appeared in his hand, and he began to chop wildly.

While chopping and advancing, the distance between him and Tang Wulin began to rapidly close.

Tang Wulin glanced at him lightly, his expression calm.

His soul power consumption was much slower than Tang Dai's; the Blue Silver Emperor Ancient Spirit Formation could sustain itself by absorbing the opponent's soul power, and the main drain of the Water King Deep Sea Domain was borne by the Water Dragon King, so he could actually hold out for a long time.

Meanwhile, Tang Dai probably couldn't last even a minute like that.

Indeed, after spending twenty seconds to reach Tang Wulin's front, Tang Dai's soul power consumption had already exceeded half.

He raised his hand high; the hollow eye sockets of his skeleton seemed to flash with a ferocious light.

Finally, he could repay this hateful enemy in kind.

He swung the massive cleaver, aiming to cleave Tang Wulin in half from the middle, bringing it down from above.

And Tang Wulin, as if foolish, let him chop down.

Watching this scene, the audience suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

It seemed as if something similar had happened in the previous match.

As expected, the bone blade sliced Tang Wulin's body in two without hesitation, and his body reconstituted itself the next second.

Pure Water Spirit Body, it specifically counters pure physical attacks.

The reassembled Tang Wulin stepped onto the bone blade with one foot, and gave Tang Dai a gentle smile.

Next, before he could react, a cyan hurricane burst forth centered on him, and countless wind blades hidden within began to swiftly slice Tang Dai's body.
