Chapter 122: Mine is the Blue Silver King

If it were the previous Hardening ability, facing the second round of Zhuge Divine Crossbows might have been impossible to block completely, but under the amplification of the thousand-year level from the Plunder Treasure Chest opened by Shi Quan, the two-thousand-year Hardening ability, combined with the uniqueness of the Blue Silver King, still managed to block it.

Seeing this scene, the crowd couldn't help but feel terrified; no one had expected that the inconspicuous Black Clamp could erupt with such powerful might.

When Tang San used the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances to deal with the hardened Blue Silver King, he felt that these Blue Silver Grass were a bit too hard, but after feeling it more directly now, although surprised, he didn't have any look of shock, because he had long expected that the Zhuge Divine Crossbow should pose little threat to Shi Quan, and his real attack was his Third Soul Skill.

While Shi Quan used a vine wall to block the attack, the Third Soul Ring beneath Tang San had already lit up again, a bright purple light suffusing his entire body, covering the light of the other two rings.

While the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his left hand fired, he raised his right hand, blue light burst forth from his palm, and a mass of blue-green light flew out from his hand, following the flight of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, passing through the vine wall broken by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and headed toward Shi Quan to bind him.

At this moment, in Tang San's eyes, Shi Quan had nowhere to hide; although he didn't know why his own Devour ability couldn't affect Shi Quan, his Third Soul Skill was not simple.

Tang San's Third Soul Skill, just as Shi Quan had expected, came from a two-thousand-year Soul-Devouring Demon Spider; besides the Devour ability, its toughness and solidity were such that even Dai Mubai could not break free, and he did not believe Shi Quan could possess more explosive power than Dai Mubai!

"Xiao San won!" Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but shout excitedly, his stiff mouth corners almost stretching to his earlobes; one could see just how excited he was at this moment.

In his view, as long as Tang San won, it would help clear his name.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was feeling smug, Flender's low voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Hard to say!"

Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, nodded in deep agreement.

"Blue Silver King?" Tang San muttered to himself, his expression somewhat bewildered.

Tang San let out a painful low roar, his pair of blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Shi Quan, full of unwillingness.

Quiet, silence; the entire Central Main Soul Fighting Arena fell into a deathly silence.

There was no need to guess; the energy absorbed and vanished by the vines certainly wouldn't disappear into thin air, it must have been fed back into Shi Quan's body; having successively absorbed the soul power of Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai, no wonder Shi Quan still had the ability to release his Third Soul Skill.

The vine wall receded, and as Shi Quan raised his fist, the vines of the Blue Silver King began to contract violently, not only wrapping Tang San's five-meter-diameter Soul-Devouring Spider Web within it, but with the powerful force combined with the push of Shi Quan's punch, it directly wrapped Tang San in the middle as well.

"Forgot to tell you, my Blue Silver Grass now has a new name..." Shi Quan walked slowly to the front of Tang San, "... its name is Blue Silver King."

Hearing Shi Quan's mocking voice, coupled with the influence of the Blue Silver Strangling force, Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

But soon Tang San's expression changed; the power of the surrounding vines was shockingly amazing, and even though he could neutralize the Devour power, he could not handle the strangling force inherent in the Blue Silver Strangling; the cutting Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances were tightly bound in place before long, unable to move.

As expected.

And the bones all over his body also began to make cracking sounds under the force of the Blue Silver Strangling.

Before the start of the tournament, no one had expected Shrek to be crushed like this; just when they thought Shrek had already lost, the Imperial Fighting Team, facing a guaranteed win, actually chose to give up, and the six of them stepped down to conduct a one-on-one sparring match.

"This is truly an exceptionally hearty individual battle... no, it should be a team battle; Dou Dou doesn't even know how to evaluate today's two battles..."

And this one-on-one sparring between Soul Elders also refreshed everyone's perception of Soul Elders.

"My Blue Silver Grass has evolved into the king among Blue Silver Grass, as for that Blue Silver Grass of yours that has been ruined by toxins, it can only stay in place; this is the gap between me and you, this class you will never be able to cross, because there will only ever be one king! And your Blue Silver Grass will always only be Blue Silver Grass!"

Thinking of this, after a brief panic, Tang San immediately reacted from his short-lived alarm, operating the Devour power of his Blue Silver Grass to resist the Devour power of the Blue Silver Strangling while hurriedly controlling the razor-sharp Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances to begin cutting the vines binding him.

Ordinary people might not be able to react due to the obstruction of their vision, but how could Shi Quan, with his ability to perceive energy, not have discovered Tang San's small movements?

Their strength was greater than Yu Xiaogang's, and their sensing ability was naturally not something a twenty-ninth-level Great Soul Master like Yu Xiaogang could compare to.

Wrapped within the vines of the Blue Silver Strangling, Tang San showed an expression of disbelief, but soon he understood, because he felt a Devour ability similar to his Soul-Devouring Spider Web from the surrounding strangling vines!

Especially the scene where Tang San used his external spirit bone, the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances, to chase Shi Quan; it was full of visual impact.

"This... how is this possible, how could you still have soul power to cast a Third Soul Skill!"

The next moment, the shattered fragments of the Blue Silver King in front of Shi Quan were seen growing a large amount of Blue Silver King violently; Tang San's Soul-Devouring Spider Web grew to five meters in the blink of an eye, while these Blue Silver Kings had likewise reached nearly ten meters in the blink of an eye.

Dou Dou, the host of the Central Main Soul Fighting Arena, was the first to react, and while flapping her snow-white wings, she said excitedly: "However, still thank the Imperial Fighting Team and Shrek Team for bringing everyone this wonderful Soul Fighting match; finally, congratulations to the Imperial Fighting Team for winning the final victory of this Soul Fighting match!"

On the Soul Fighting Platform, looking at the unconscious Tang San, Shi Quan felt that this trip to Soto City could be considered a gain.

With a light clench of his right hand, the Blue Silver Vines covering Tang San dissipated into blue light and merged into Shi Quan's hand.

Looking at Tang San again, his clothes were tattered by the strangling vines, and his body was covered in blue and purple welts; he looked miserable, but in reality, there were no serious injuries, let alone anything fatal.

As for the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances on his back, they had already returned to his body due to the exhaustion of his soul power.

Shi Quan had not forgotten Tang Hao behind Tang San, and he dared not go too far; he didn't want Tang Hao to come looking for trouble in the middle of the night.

Just as Shi Quan retracted the Blue Silver King, a phantom flashed across the stage, and Flender's figure appeared on the ring, picked up the unconscious Tang San from the ground, and before leaving, he took a deep look at Shi Quan before departing.

Shi Quan ignored Flender and walked off the ring on his own.

Just after getting off the stage, Dugu Yan and the others surrounded him, asking questions all at once.

"Xiao Quan, you know that Thousand-Hand Asura, right?" Yu Feng leaned his head forward.

"Mm, we were in the same academy before, there were some conflicts." Shi Quan nodded.

Qin Ming walked up and sighed: "You, oh you, your strikes were still too heavy. You all come with me."

Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but frown, but thinking that Qin Ming was their teacher, they didn't say much more.

Saying this, Qin Ming led the seven of them toward the direction of Shrek Academy, first bowing respectfully to Flender and Zhao Wuji, and then introduced: "These two are my teachers; I graduated from Shrek Academy before, and the members of the Shrek Team are also the teachers' juniors. Lingling, you should help them heal."

Ye Lingling did not answer directly, but cast her gaze toward Shi Quan, asking for Shi Quan's opinion.

This scene also caused the people present to cast surprised glances; no one had expected that Ye Lingling would value Shi Quan's opinion more than that of their own team leader teacher.

Regarding this, Qin Ming's expression was also a bit awkward, while Dugu Yan stood to the side with a gossiping auntie smile.

Fortunately, Shi Quan nodded at Ye Lingling, which eased the awkward atmosphere on the scene.

White petals fell, and before long, under the healing ability of Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, the injuries of the Shrek group quickly recovered; the powerful healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia once again refreshed everyone's perception.

However, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Tang San, because of the soul power consumption from the Blue Silver Strangling, had their entire soul power exhausted; even if their injuries recovered, they would need to rest for a period of time to wake up.

After a simple check, Flender finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Quan looked around and did not see Yu Xiaogang's figure; he didn't know if it was because he didn't want people to know about his relationship with Yu Tianheng, or if he was afraid of being retorted by him.

"Dean, this is not the place to talk; I wonder if, after the soul fighting points are settled, you could bring the teachers and juniors to the Soto City Hotel for a chat? It just so happens I have some things I'd like to discuss with you." Qin Ming looked around, then said to Flender.

Flender smiled sinisterly: "You kid planning to treat us?"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, then remembering the stingy nature of his own Dean, he reacted and said with a smile: "That goes without saying."

"Hahaha, no problem." Flender patted Qin Ming on the shoulder; there was no reason for him not to take advantage of free things.

After registering the points, Qin Ming signaled for everyone to return to the hotel first, while he went to pick up the members of the Shrek Team.

Walking out of the Great Soul Arena, the crowd was still chatting enthusiastically about today's Soul Fighting match.

"Tianheng, do you still remember me?"

Just as the group walked out of the Great Soul Arena, a figure suddenly stepped out from the intersection ahead and blocked their path.

It was Yu Xiaogang.

"???" Under the soft moonlight, Yu Tianheng looked at the person's face with confusion, "Who are you?"

The person's pace was neither slow nor fast, and because the distance was short, they soon approached; Yu Tianheng's expression shifted to astonishment and shock, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement.

"Uncle? You, how are you here?"

"Let's talk alone." Yu Xiaogang stood still in front of Yu Tianheng with a calm expression, not looking at the others.

Yu Tianheng, looking excited, turned his head to the group and said, "Yanzi, you all go back to the hotel first, I will return later."

Yu Tianheng's uncle?

After the group glanced at Yu Xiaogang with puzzled expressions, they all nodded slightly.

"Tch..." Shi Quan let out a soft huff; Tang San was already injured, yet he still came knocking and followed them—it looked like he was prepared to ask about something.
