Chapter 182: Shrek Wins

"Quickly, release the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Yan roared in pain.

Xie Yue and the others also noticed the commotion on Yan's side and quickly made a decision. As they forcibly broke through the surrounding Dark Blue Silver Grass and retreated rapidly, a red light flashed around their bodies. Following this, they transformed into two figures, and the red mist around them gradually became illusory.

"Second Soul Skill, Moon Edge." The separated Xie Yue waved his hands repeatedly, instantly shooting out several blade lights, continuously knocking aside the vines that were sweeping toward them.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Flying Sand Wild Flame!" As the pressure dissipated, Yan immediately manifested the Flame Lord. Just as his fifth soul ring lit up, Tang San raised his hand and pulled sharply. The Dark Blue Silver Grass entangling Yan tightened violently, and the toxins from the Ghost Vine, Datura Snake, and Soul-Devouring Demon Spider instantly invaded Yan's body, compounded by the eruption of the Devour power.

It seems that due to the strength of Oscar and the others, and because everyone had a certain amount of soul power consumed before releasing the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, they naturally could not manifest the Martial Soul True Body without sufficient energy.

"Lingling, you all go back first. I have something to attend to with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I will return in a while."

Watching the backs of the Shrek group as they left, the many academy students and Spirit Masters at the foot of Pope Palace began to discuss among themselves.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena also watched Tang San with caution. As Tang San approached, the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances behind him stabbed toward both of them simultaneously.

The only good news was that, after releasing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and enduring his Devour, both of them had only a sliver of soul power left, whereas his own soul power was still enough to support him in releasing soul skills.

Seeing that the soul power being devoured was about to be exhausted, Tang San then gave a low shout, "Withdraw!"

"A single failure is fine; it can let you know the principle that there is always someone better, and a heaven beyond our heaven. You cannot lightly underestimate anyone. Even if they seem weaker than you, they might be a venomous snake; just one bite can make you suffer beyond endurance."

The surrounding members of the Spirit Hall could be said to have expressions that were ugly to the extreme.

"Retreat!" Xie Yue gritted his teeth and pulled Hu Liena back. Even in the Demon state, using Full Moon could not cut through this scattered Dark Blue Silver Grass in one go, let alone now that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was released and their soul power was heavily depleted.

Tang San let out a muffled groan, his figure pausing slightly. Fresh red blood spilled from the corner of Tang San's mouth. He forcibly woke up from Hu Liena's control by relying on the pain of biting his tongue, and the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances forcefully stabbed into Xie Yue's body.

The Blue Silver Grass from Tang San's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill was like a plague; as long as one person was bound and devoured by it, more Blue Silver Grass could grow to devour the soul power of others. In this repeating cycle, the more opponents there were, the faster his Blue Silver Grass grew, and the wider the range of his Devour became.

"I understand, Teacher." Hu Liena nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

Watching the fleeing Xie Yue and the other on the stage, Shi Quan's gaze fell upon Tang San.

"The higher you stand, the harder you fall; the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I hope you can still laugh tomorrow."

With the spray of blood from Yan's mouth, the soul ring that had just lit up dimmed as his internal injuries were triggered again. As blood flowed, his figure swayed, and he became unstable even while standing. Even though he forced himself to stand, he lost the ability to resist and could only helplessly feel the soul power in his body continuously dissipating.

Returning to Bibi Dong, after she finished speaking, she turned and left with a dark face.

"Who do you think is stronger, the Shrek Team or the Heaven Dou Team?"

"Boom!" The Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances that Tang San stabbed were blocked directly by the Moon Blade. The powerful force made his hands tremble slightly, and the injury on his shoulder was already triggered due to the massive loss of soul power.

Releasing Ye Lingling's hand, Shi Quan turned and separated from the group.

"I'll go finish it!" Tang San stepped forward, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to chase the two at high speed. Although the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill had been released, the pervasive Dark Blue Silver Grass had not dissipated and remained spread across the arena, leaving little space for Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

And now, not only had Tang San's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill transformed his martial soul into Dark Blue Silver Grass, but he had not even released his Martial Soul True Body.

"Let's go, let's head back." Shi Quan looked at Tang San on the stage and slowly stood up.

The eruption of the Clear Sky Hammer is a one-time event, while the Dark Blue Silver Grass can deal with more changes by relying on its Devour ability. Perhaps this is the main reason Tang San chose to use Blue Silver Grass.

Only Tang San, who was at the very front, had a slightly better complexion; in the end, he had secretly devoured a portion of life force and residual soul power, keeping it within his own body.

Shi Quan noticed the gaze from behind, looked back indifferently, and then turned his head with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"How is this possible!" Xie Yue's expression changed in shock, "You actually still have soul power to release soul skills!"

"I'm sorry, Teacher." Hu Liena lowered her head, her expression full of despondency.

61.223.145.253

"Not bad, winning is enough, otherwise my painstaking efforts would have been in vain." A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Shi Quan's mouth as he looked toward the Shrek side, his hands behind his back, looking like he had everything under control, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xie Yue immediately let out a cry of pain. The residual soul power in his body was devoured clean by Tang San in an instant, followed by an instinctive devouring of a sliver of Xie Yue's life force.

"First Soul Skill, Entanglement." Tang San's movements did not pause in the slightest. The first soul ring beneath him lit up, and ink-colored Blue Silver Grass rose from the ground, entangling Hu Liena's legs.

Bibi Dong's face was gloomy. Although she did not want to lose, she knew the battle was decided. She immediately stood up, glanced at Yu Xiaogang—who was standing straight with his hands behind his back and a detached expression—gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, "Spirit Hall Academy Team, we concede!"

"It is I who underestimated them."

"Need you ask? Definitely the Heaven Dou Team. As a Seed Team, they were able to stand out in the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, so their strength is definitely not simple. And don't forget, in the morning's Individual Match, Shi Quan alone abused the Golden Generation of the Spirit Team. It's not guaranteed that they were injured, allowing the Shrek Team to pick up the victory."

During the retreat, it was Xie Yue who relied on his Moon Blade to knock aside the Blue Silver Grass, so Hu Liena's soul power was slightly more than Xie Yue's, but only slightly, barely enough for her to release her second soul skill.

Before long, in the council hall of the Pope Palace.

The Spirit Team was eliminated, which meant the three soul bones prepared for them had become someone else's wedding dress.

"Second Soul Skill, Fox Charm!" Hu Liena took a lotus step forward, her peach-colored eyes meeting Tang San's purple-tinged eyes.

"Even I didn't expect the Shrek Team to have researched your abilities so thoroughly. And they even possess a trump card like the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill."

Xie Yue stepped forward, waving his hands repeatedly to help Hu Liena block. Although there was not much soul power left, his body had been strengthened by a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, so his strength and speed were not weak.

"Who's to say? Whether it's the Shrek Team or the Heaven Dou Team, both are from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Whoever wins the championship is the glory of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

He still had more than half of his soul power left, while his teammates had completely exhausted theirs. At the end of this match, he could only face the remaining Xie Yue and Hu Liena alone.

The thicket of Blue Silver Grass immediately entangled Xie Yue, and Tang San's Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances stabbed out again.

"Second Soul Skill, Parasitism!" Seeing this, the second soul ring beneath Tang San suddenly lit up.

Upon hearing this, the Shrek group began to withdraw their power one after another. The seven-colored light slowly faded, and as the light dissipated, the seven of them were already drenched in sweat.

With a step of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances stabbed into Hu Liena's body. Hu Liena felt the pain and immediately felt the power in her body flowing away rapidly.

Looking at Shi Quan in the distance, her eyes were filled with chilling coldness, "Shi Quan, in tomorrow's battle, I will let you see my Blue Silver King properly."

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences for soldiers; this cannot be blamed on you." Bibi Dong shook her head slightly and sighed, "Besides, your tactics were formulated by me, so I am also at fault."

The arena was a hundred meters in diameter. Xie Yue retreated continuously, his pair of Moon Blades waving continuously, not giving the Dark Blue Silver Grass any chance to surround him at close range.

But if there were no sufficient targets to devour, the attack range of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would definitely shrink significantly.

Shi Quan thought to himself, this might also be the reason why Tang San did not put the energy of the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill into the Clear Sky Hammer. Although the eruption of the Clear Sky Hammer is powerful, the Golden Generation were, after all, three Soul Kings, and it was unclear if they had any other trump cards.

"Did he not release the Martial Soul True Body?" Shi Quan whispered softly. In the original work, the martial soul released by Tang San's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill was the Clear Sky Hammer. The power of seven people allowed Tang San to release the Martial Soul True Body of the Clear Sky Hammer without a single soul ring. At the cost of damaging his Soul Soul, it also made Tang San unable to release the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill again in a short period of time.

Before long, the Shrek group also walked down from Pope Mountain with their heads held high. The whole way, it could be said that they walked with the wind, all of them in high spirits.

"That's right, after all, they are one team, so the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy must be the strongest. The Shrek Team still has three Soul Elders, how can they fight?"

The voice was not loud, but it was still heard clearly by the sharp-eared Shrek group. Everyone's expression became somewhat ugly, and Tang San clenched his fists, his face gloomy.

"I truly did not expect the Shrek Team to actually win. The Grand Finals of this session haven't even begun, yet the Heaven Dou Empire has already secured the tournament championship."

"Your Eminence, someone from the Elder Hall has arrived."

"They've come to cause trouble so soon?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly and looked toward the gate of the Pope Palace.
