Chapter 165: Tang San is confident again

Tang San then told everyone the origin, age, and soul skill of his Fourth Soul Ring.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong could not help but curl her lip and remain silent; Shi Quan had already said on the previous arena stage that the development direction of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul was wrong, and looking at Tang San's current actions, he clearly had not taken Shi Quan's words to heart at all and was prepared to follow this path to the end.

"Third Brother, that's impressive." Ma Hongjun's sycophantic flattery followed.

Oscar also gave a thumbs up.

Tang San smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the training program Teacher formulated earlier, which allowed my physical fitness to improve significantly."

Hearing others praise him, Tang San subconsciously attributed the credit to Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing this, a smile could not help but appear on Yu Xiaogang's face.

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes; the exercise equipment was created by Shi Quan, and Yu Xiaogang's perverse training methods did more harm than good to the body. If not for her Sword Douluo helping her check constantly, she did not know what kind of state she would have been reduced to by Yu Xiaogang.

"Why won't this tournament end already..." Ning Rongrong shouted in her heart.

Because the Elephant Armored Sect followed an Extreme Flow of defense, their strength, defense, and speed were powerful, and they primarily used a defensive counter-attack style, waiting for the opponent's soul power to be largely consumed before counter-attacking.

Amidst the referee's loud voice, both teams had already taken the stage, and the match was about to begin.

"The match begins!"

If he had encountered the Elephant Armored Sect before obtaining his Fourth Soul Ring, it would have been quite troublesome, but now, an Extreme Flow team like the Elephant Armored Team posed no threat to him at all; he was confident that he and Oscar alone were enough to resolve the entire Elephant Armored Team.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed as he and Flender arrived in front of the students in the rest area.

And Tang San played along with their scheme, waiting until the Blue Silver Grass covered a sufficient range to ensure the Elephant Armored Team could no longer escape the range of the Blue Silver Grass.

Looking at the Shrek Team side, Tang San took the lead, standing at the very front as a Control System Spirit Master, while ink-colored vine-like Blue Silver Grass spread along the ground, continuously scattering rapidly in all directions.

The seven members of the Elephant Armored Team were all uniformly large fat men, each covered in rolls of fat; as they released their martial souls, the seven obese figures collided again, appearing as if they had transformed into seven mountains of flesh.

But for the current Tang San, his Devour ability was enough to cause a team known for their defense to lose their ability to act directly.

"Our opponent this afternoon is the Elephant Armored Team; we must win this battle."

Upon hearing this, a look of confidence appeared in the depths of Tang San's eyes.

Seeing this, the corners of Tang San's mouth curled into a confident smile; while leading his teammates to slowly retreat, the ink-colored Blue Silver Grass spread rapidly, but the imagined scene of entanglement did not appear—Tang San simply let the Blue Silver Grass spread out, allowing the members of the Elephant Armored Team to trample over it.

"Both teams, salute."

"Little Ao!" As Tang San's voice fell, two Flying Mushroom Sausages landed in Tang San's hands, and the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances extended out with a bang.

This was also an important reason why the seven members of the Elephant Armored Team were not in a hurry to advance quickly; they simply did not want to reveal the slightest flaw.

Under the effect of their first soul ring, a layer of crystalline color was added to the dark yellow cuticles on the seven mountains of flesh, and each person seemed to be covered in a layer of enamel. The seven people's bodies were simply too massive, advancing from the center and occupying almost half the diameter of the entire circular competition arena. Although their pace was slow, as they advanced, their momentum rose by a few points with every step they took, bringing immense pressure to the seven members of Shrek Academy in both body and soul power.

The seven mountains of flesh standing in front of Tang San and his team stood in a row, their first soul rings flashing simultaneously, stepping forward steadily one by one.

The second day.

Following the referee's order.

The arena was circular; initially, both sides were in the widest part of the center, but now, as the opponents continuously advanced and the Shrek group kept retreating under Tang San's leadership, the space available on both sides became smaller and smaller. The opponents' massive bodies allowed them to control a much larger area during combat than ordinary people. Once forced to the sides where there was no gap, the opponents' strength could be exerted to the maximum extent.

Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Tang San took the lead and charged toward the seven of them.

"Be careful!" The captain of the Elephant Armored Team shouted in a low voice, reminding everyone while raising his hand to slap toward Tang San.

The Elephant Armored Team's strength and defense were indeed extremely high, but they had also sacrificed agility as the price.

Facing an Agility Attack System Spirit Master, neither side had any way to deal with the other—one could not be moved, and the other could not be hit.

Tang San's speed was not bad to begin with, and combined with the Eight Spider Lances, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Purple Demon Eye, his flexibility was not a bit weaker than an Agility Attack System Spirit Master of the same level, and even slightly stronger.

Not to mention that Tang San also possessed the flying ability that most countered their type of meat-tank.

Tang San charged in alone, and the seven of them could not hurt him in the slightest; the sharp Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances launched attacks continuously, consuming the opponent's soul power.

"Ignore him!" Seeing that they could not do anything to Tang San for the moment, the Elephant Armored Team captain Huyan Li chose to give up.

"Want to leave?" A smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth, "Can you still leave?"

At the same time, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement was activated again, and the first, second, and fourth soul rings on Tang San's body lit up simultaneously.

The massive bodies of the seven Elephant Armored Academy disciples were simply the best targets standing there; the larger the area the Blue Silver Grass touched, the stronger the Devour ability became.

The Blue Silver Grass wound around rapidly, quickly entangling the bodies of all seven people.

Huyan Li snorted in disdain; restriction? He was just wondering how to deal with Tang San, and now with such a large-scale control, he feared Tang San's soul power would soon be exhausted; when that time came, he would like to see how else Tang San could run.

But soon, Huyan Li's expression changed.

Tang San's originally pale cheeks were seen rapidly returning to a ruddy color; Huyan Li's judgment was not wrong, as the seven of them were huge in size. The soul power consumed by the Entanglement skill was exceptionally high, but as the Devour ability was activated, the soul power within the seven people was continuously fed back into Tang San's body from within them, and his consumed soul power was rapidly replenished.

While restricting Huyan Li, the offensive of Tang San's Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances also became increasingly fierce.

"This Blue Silver Grass can devour soul power, break free with all your strength!" Huyan Li roared, his fourth soul ring flashing suddenly; not only was the Blue Silver Grass on his body breaking faster, but at the same time, his skin changed again, adding a layer of ice-prism-like protective coating.

Tang San revealed a cold sneer, the first and second soul rings beneath him lighting up continuously; he wanted to see if they could break free faster, or if his Devour-absorbed growth was faster!

Naturally, one picks the softest persimmon to squeeze first.

Supported by the eight spider lances, Tang San's figure seemed to dance among the seven; through the sensing of the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San arrived at the back of the neck of the person struggling with the least strength among the seven members of the Elephant Armored Team, and the eight spider lances stabbed out fiercely. If one attack could not break through, then two or three would; focusing on a single point to break the surface, the eight spider lances attacked the same position continuously.

No matter how strong his defense was, under Tang San's dense and fierce spider lance attacks, his skin was eventually pierced by Tang San.

The powerful Devour ability within the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances erupted instantly; while devouring soul power, Tang San also incidentally devoured a small amount of vitality. The pure Life Essence entering his body made Tang San feel refreshed in body and mind.

Suppressing the urge to absorb more, seeing Huyan Li about to break free from the restraints, Tang San's third soul ring lit up following the soul power gained from devouring; with a casual flick, a wide spider web bound Huyan Li once again.

Boom!

As the first one fell after having his soul power completely devoured by Tang San's Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances, Tang San immediately shifted his target. With the continuous replenishment from devouring soul power, Tang San did not need to worry about the consumption of soul power at all; seeing whoever was about to break free, he would directly release Entanglement or Parasitism.

There was no need for his teammates to intervene at all; he alone was enough to defeat the seven of them one by one.

"This Huyan Li has the strongest strength, absorbing a little more life won't affect anything." As Tang San's spider lances stabbed into Huyan Li's body.

The entire battle also reached its final conclusion.

"Shrek Academy wins!" Soon, the referee's voice, tinged with a bit of disbelief, came over.

Everyone at the scene also erupted into unprecedented cheers.

The dignified Elephant Armored Academy, one of the Five Great Elemental Academies, was actually dealt with by Tang San alone.

The entire battle was completely a solo show for Tang San.

The others didn't even make a move, and the Shrek Team directly achieved victory in the match!

The competition is already halfway through, and this is the first time a precedent has appeared where one person defeated an entire team; for the numerous spectators, this can definitely be called a brilliant and magnificent match.

"Strong, Little San," Dai Mubai said, giving Tang San a thumbs up in praise, "I feel like the strength of your Blue Silver Grass is much stronger than before; it truly lives up to absorbing a Soul Ring beyond your rank."

Tang San nodded; if it weren't for Devouring the corpse of Shi Nian and the corpse of the 7,200-year-old Swallowing Python, the strength of his Blue Silver Grass would not be this strong.

After today's battle, Tang San's confidence swelled once more; after the match ended and they returned to the hotel, Tang San specifically had Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng help him test the strength of his Blue Silver Grass again. Now, even Dai Mubai cannot easily tear the Blue Silver Grass apart, and aside from some attribute restraints, the rest of his teammates cannot easily destroy the vines he creates.

Obtaining this result, Tang San was even more satisfied; once the Preliminary Round ends, he can use the excuses of martial soul evolution, storing soul power, and having a greater chance of helping the team win the Spirit Master tournament championship to have his teacher ask Dean Flender to take him to the Sunset Forest again, specifically to hunt those Spirit Beasts that possess Devouring abilities to Devour and absorb them; by then, his Devouring ability might be able to strengthen a bit more.

As long as the number of things Devoured is large enough, it should surely be enough to make the strength of my Blue Silver Grass martial soul increase significantly once again, catching up directly to Shi Quan!
