Chapter 120: A Bright Pearl? A Good-for-nothing!

Tang San's movements paused, yet he discovered that nothing at all had changed in the surroundings.

The next second, Tang San heard Xiao Wu's miserable groan.

Looking back, he saw that for some reason, Xiao Wu's hands and feet had been bound by Shi Quan's Blue Silver King; her limbs were pulled backward, her entire body twisted into a ball, and not only was her face deathly pale, but bright red blood was continuously flowing out. Upon closer inspection, the flesh on her right waist and thigh was already torn open.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San exclaimed in shock, his heart nearly stopping. He had never imagined that Shi Quan's Third Soul Skill was not aimed at him, but at Xiao Wu, who was fighting on the side.

Although Xiao Wu had previously used Teleportation to move out of the Blue Silver Grass's control range, the Blue Silver King seeds that had stained her body did not disappear because of her teleportation; instead, they had parasitized her clothes and body, lying quietly in wait for the moment to bloom.

It had to be said that Xiao Wu's Teleportation ability was a great counter; if one reacted quickly enough to Shi Quan's hard crowd control, the three soul skills of Shi Quan's Blue Silver King would have no effect on Xiao Wu, because she could rely on Teleportation to break free from Shi Quan's control.

That said, Xiao Wu's reaction had to be fast enough. Faced with Shi Quan's sudden attack, the power of the Blue Silver Strangling caught her off guard, and due to a single mistake, she was sent flying by the impact of Shi Mo's turtle shell.

The surface injury was one thing, but Shi Mo's Internal Energy was attached to his turtle shell; when the shell cut through Xiao Wu's flesh, his soul power penetrated into her internal organs. Added to the powerful force of the Blue Silver Strangling and the soul power Devour contained within it, Xiao Wu spat out another mouthful of blood.

"This is team combat," Shi Quan's mocking voice rang out beside Tang San's ear.

Tang San's eyes were blood-red as he watched his partners each trapped in a difficult situation, especially his beloved Xiao Wu, who had been ambushed by Shi Quan and suffered such heavy injuries; the anger and killing intent in the depths of his heart surged to the extreme!

Tang San lowered his hands to his waist, and with a flick of his hands, a black clip appeared in his grip.

After kicking the unconscious Oscar off the platform with one foot, Yu Feng gently tossed Ning Rongrong into the hands of Zhu Zhuqing, who was beside the platform.

If someone were to die on the Soul Fighting Platform because of a Zhuge Divine Crossbow, it wouldn't just be Tang San—the entire academy would likely suffer for it.

Yu Feng knew that Ning Rongrong's status was special; he had deliberately knocked Ning Rongrong unconscious just now to lure Oscar into rescuing her, then launched his attack.

Taking this opportunity, the first soul ring beneath Yu Feng lit up, and with a flicker, he transformed into a streak of green light that streaked across the air; under his attack, Oscar lost consciousness.

"Xiao Ao! Pangzi!" Seeing this, Dai Mubai's eyes were bloodshot, a trace of madness welling up from the depths of his gaze. His third soul ring lit up—White Tiger Vajra Transformation—and with his soul power surging throughout his body, he charged toward Shi Mo.

Zhuge Divine Crossbow!

"What is San doing! How can he take out that kind of weapon?" Zhao Wuji in the spectator area stood up abruptly. He had personally witnessed the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow; if this weapon hit someone, it would cost them their life. The Imperial Fighting Team's background clearly wasn't simple, especially Shi Quan—before the match, Ning Rongrong had specifically mentioned that he had a Titled Douluo backing him.

Having calmed down, Tang San gritted his teeth and put the Zhuge Divine Crossbow away, replacing it with hidden weapons specifically designed to break through protective Qi and defenses.

It was clear his plan had succeeded; he had taken down both of their Auxiliary Soul Masters in one fell swoop.

Shi Quan's gaze narrowed, his eyes cold and sharp.

As for Ma Hongjun, who had lost Ning Rongrong's amplification, he flew out almost at the same time Yu Feng tossed Oscar and Ning Rongrong off the platform; his whole body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily off the Soul Fighting Platform and fainting.

The intense battle he had imagined did not occur; the entire fight felt completely one-sided. First, Zhu Zhuqing was blasted off the platform, then Xiao Wu lost her combat ability, and in the span of just a few breaths, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were also successively blasted off the platform.

In the sky, Ning Rongrong's brief cry of anger gave Yu Feng an opportunity. With a flap of his wings, Yu Feng instantly arrived in front of Ning Rongrong and struck her neck with a light slash of his wing; Ning Rongrong immediately lost consciousness and fell from the air.

"Rongrong!" Oscar exclaimed, the Phoenix-Tail Crested Serpent wings behind him spreading as he quickly chased after the falling Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly waking Tang San from his sea of angry flames. This was the Spirit Arena; if he killed Shi Quan in front of so many people, the people behind Shi Quan would not let him or Xiao Wu off.

In an instant, the only ones left on the platform for the Shrek Team were Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the heavily injured, incapacitated Xiao Wu.

"Tang San, are you crazy? Do you want to drag Xiao Wu to her death with you?" Ning Rongrong's voice came from the air. Her attention had been focused on the battle between Tang San and Shi Quan, and when she saw Tang San take out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, she immediately let out an angry shout.

The original two turtle shells became four. Having freed his hands, Shi Mo immediately came to support. Faced with the incredibly tacit cooperation of the two Shi brothers, Dai Mubai was unable to break through, and on the other side, Yu Tianheng was also pressing down on him; as soon as Yu Tianheng joined the fight, Dai Mubai would quickly lose his combat ability.

Cold light scattered outward.

All kinds of hidden weapons flew from Tang San's hands. With the flexible movement of the Eight Spider Lances, his target changed from one person to everyone present. He wanted to see if Shi Quan's support speed could keep up with the speed at which he threw his hidden weapons.

Tang San's hidden weapons were impossible to guard against; the Blue Silver King alone could not support everyone in all directions, but the members of the Imperial Fighting Team were no weaklings.

The Shi brothers each withdrew one turtle shell for defense; Yu Tianheng's body flashed with lightning, which could also block most of Tang San's hidden weapons; Yu Feng's figure was agile and he possessed the ability to fly, so at a distance, he was the least afraid of Tang San's hidden weapons.

The pressure shared was actually only on Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, and Shi Quan could still manage that. At the same time, the hardened Blue Silver King branches and leaves in his hands were also continuously thrown by Shi Quan, not at Tang San, but at the fully erupting Dai Mubai.

After Dai Mubai's tiger claws continuously swatted away the turtle shells and Blue Silver King vines, Shi Quan's third soul ring lit up again.

The tough Blue Silver King instantly grew out from Dai Mubai's tiger claws, and the powerful force of the Blue Silver King vines erupted. Dai Mubai's body did not have the same resilience as Xiao Wu's; almost instantly, *Crack! *—with a crisp sound, Dai Mubai's left arm was directly dislocated by the powerful force of the Blue Silver Strangling.

In the original work, Dai Mubai could not break free from Tang San's two-thousand-year Spider Web Restraint; how could Dai Mubai possibly block Shi Quan's nine-thousand-year-level Blue Silver Strangling?

Dai Mubai's entire body was bound tightly by the Blue Silver King released by the Blue Silver Strangling, and at the same time, the Devour power within it erupted, causing the soul power in Dai Mubai's body to rapidly recede.

When the Shi brothers' turtle shells flew over, because of the Devour power in the Blue Silver Strangling, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation could no longer be sustained and reverted to its previous state. As the turtle shells swept past, Dai Mubai's blood-stained figure also fell heavily off the platform.

"Mu Bai!" Tang San's eyes were also filled with madness.

At this moment, there were no partners left on the platform. Although he was the only one left, he would not give up lightly, and he would become completely uninhibited!

"Want to show off by taking on seven?"

How could Shi Quan give Tang San the chance to show off?

"Tianheng, Sister Yanzi, Shi brothers, Yu Feng, Lingling, do you trust me?" Shi Quan's voice suddenly rang out.

"What is it, Xiao Quan?" The group paused, all looking at Shi Quan in confusion.

"You all should step down for the rest of the fight." Shi Quan looked at Tang San with burning eyes. "I want to have a proper fight with him alone!"

"Alright!" Ye Lingling's voice came from the very back, the first to respond; she trusted Shi Quan unconditionally.

As the voice fell, Ye Lingling jumped directly off the platform.

Seeing Ye Lingling set the example, Dugu Yan also retracted her martial soul and patted Shi Quan on the shoulder. "Although I don't know why, we'll wait for you to come back!"

Yu Feng and the others looked at each other and smiled, all retracting their martial souls and walking toward the edge of the platform.

Seeing this, Tang San quickly arrived at Xiao Wu's side. His right hand tapped rapidly around Xiao Wu's wounds, and while helping her alleviate the injuries, he sent Xiao Wu off the platform to receive treatment.

Before long, only Shi Quan and Tang San remained on the platform.

"Tang San, when you left Notting Academy, didn't you want to challenge me? Today I'll give you that chance. Let me see what you've learned from that Yu Xiaogang who misleads his students!"

Shi Quan said indifferently.

Compared to Internal Energy consumption, Shi Quan's was not as high as it appeared on the surface; the two instances of Blue Silver Strangling had devoured quite a bit of soul power, replenishing his Internal Energy consumption. The consumption of his first and second soul skills was also determined by the range; all in all, the difference between Shi Quan's Internal Energy consumption and Tang San's was actually not much.

Tang San's gaze was heavy as he looked coldly at Shi Quan. "I will prove to everyone on behalf of my teacher that he is right."

"Right?" Shi Quan gave a disdainful laugh. "You yourself had Innate Full Spirit Power from the start; your talent was already there. As long as you cultivate normally, your strength would never be weak. If this so-called 'becoming a talent' is Yu Xiaogang's ability, then wouldn't anyone be a Master as long as they were lucky enough to find a genius with Innate Full Spirit Power?"

"If he really had ability, why has he been struggling for so long? His own soul power hasn't even broken through level twenty-nine? To put it simply, those so-called theories of his are just his own self-righteous fantasies. He can't even change himself, yet he refuses to admit he's a good-for-nothing, vainly attempting to cultivate someone who would have become a talent on their own, just to prove his own talent."

"If he were truly a bright pearl, he would shine even on a beach. It's just a pity that no matter how much he struggles, a good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing. If he really had any talent, with so many powers on the continent, would he need to rot away at Notting Junior Academy?"
