Chapter 35 The Shattered Blue Silver Grass, Eight Spider Lances VS Dark Gold Terror Claws!
Three days may pass in the blink of an eye for ordinary people, but for the Soul Master community of Heaven Dou City at this time, it seems to be an exceptionally long time.
The news that the "Full-Time Team" and the "Shrek Seven Devils" had challenged each other to a duel at the Great Soul Arena spread like wildfire throughout the entire Heaven Dou City. On one side was a mysterious and unpredictable emerging team composed entirely of beautiful women (plus two accessories), and on the other side was a dark horse team calling itself "Monster Academy" and recently achieving a winning streak in the Soul Arena.
In particular, the instant kill with a single punch in the lobby of the Genting Hotel three days ago has become the talk of the town for countless people.
The Heavenly Battle Arena, the central main battle arena.
Tonight's attendance was an astonishing 100%. Huge spotlights focused on the center of the ring, and the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators were deafening, like a tsunami.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to tonight's highlight—Team Fighting Spirit!"
Standing on a suspended platform, the host roared with passion, "On the left is the 'Shrek Seven Devils' team from the famous high-level soul master academy, Shrek Academy! They have an excellent winning streak and are truly monster rookies!"
Seven figures slowly emerged from the passageway. Dai Mubai, leading the group, had a grim expression; the bruise on his lip had faded considerably, but his violent aura was even stronger. Tang San followed closely behind, his face calm as still water, but a deep gravity lurked in his eyes. The remaining figures—Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—each radiated intense fighting spirit.
"And on the right!" The host's voice rose an octave, "are the challengers who have made a name for themselves in Tiandou City these past few days! A special team from Tianshui Academy—the 'All-Round Team'!"
The lights suddenly shone on the right-hand passageway.
Hu Yanli took the lead, his massive body like a moving mountain, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly. Next came Ye Shaotian, clutching the Ice Rain Sword and chewing gum. Following him, four stunningly beautiful girls—Shui Bing'er, Leng Qianqian, Shui Yue'er, and Bai Xiaochun—entered the stage, instantly eliciting howls from the male audience. Finally, Ye Feng , umbrella in hand , his tall, slender figure accentuated by his black outfit, a signature serene smile playing on his lips, made his grand entrance as the final act.
"Both teams, please unleash your martial spirits!"
With the referee's command, the entire arena instantly transformed into a sea of soul power.
Tang San (Blue Silver Grass, Three Rings).
Dai Mubai (White Tiger, Three Rings).
Xiao Wu (Soft-Boned Rabbit, Three Rings).
Ma Hongjun (Evil Phoenix, Two Rings).
Zhu Zhuqing (Netherworld Cat, Two Rings).
Oscar (sausage, two rings).
Ning Rongrong (Seven-Jeweled Pagoda, two rings).
On the full-time team side: apart from Bai Xiaochun, who is a two-ring Great Soul Master, the other six members are all three-ring Soul Venerables! In particular, Ye Feng and Shui Bing'er have deep-colored third soul rings, which obviously indicate that they are of very high age.
"The match begins!"
"Seven Treasures Transform into Glazed Pagoda! First: Power! Second: Speed!" Ning Rongrong took the lead, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand shone brightly, giving the Shrek Academy members a buff.
"Trying to play a support role?" Ye Feng chuckled, suddenly opening his Thousand Chance Umbrella. "Bai Xiaochun, cool them down!"
"Yes, Captain!" Bai Xiaochun, who had been hiding at the back of the group and looked harmless, held up the pure white jade-like white crabapple in both hands.
"First Soul Skill: Healing Core - Purification Aura!"
A soft white light instantly spread out, covering the entire area. Although this wasn't an amplification skill, Bai Haitang's unique "purification" attribute actually calmed the restless soul power in the air.
"Fatty! Set it on fire!" Tang San gave the order.
Ma Hongjun took a deep breath, and a surge of purplish-red evil fire erupted from him, "Phoenix Fire Line!"
"Oh dear, these grilled chicken wings aren't spicy enough!"
Ye Shaotian moved. He was incredibly fast, drawing his Ice Rain Sword, which carried a chilling aura.
"First Soul Skill: Falling Ice Rain!" Countless fine ice needles rained down on Ma Hongjun's flames. Water overcomes fire. Although Ma Hongjun was a phoenix fire, Ye Shaotian's Ice Rain Sword, reforged from cold iron and refined gold, exuded a chilling aura and forcefully suppressed the fire, turning it into a sky full of white mist.
"You fatso, is your internal heat depleted? Take some Liuwei Dihuang Pills to replenish it!" Ye Shaotian shouted as he swung his sword, his voice carrying throughout the entire area through the amplified soul guide device.
"You're asking for it!" Ma Hongjun's face turned purple with rage, and his original rhythm was instantly disrupted.
At the same time, the most intense clashes broke out on the main battlefield.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" In order to wash away the humiliation, Dai Mubai immediately unleashed his strongest state at the start, roaring as he charged towards Ye Feng.
"Your opponent is me!" Hu Yanli grinned maliciously as he charged forward, his third spirit ring illuminating. "Suppress!" Boom! The white tiger and the mammoth collided violently. A pure clash of strength, the ground instantly cracked. Dai Mubai was astonished to find that he couldn't budge this behemoth an inch!
"Netherworld Thrust!" Zhu Zhuqing transformed into a blur, attempting to flank and cut off Shui Bing'er and Bai Xiaochun from the back row.
"Speed contest? I've never been afraid of anyone!"
Leng Qianqian's cat ears twitched, and her figure vanished as well. "Shadow Strike!" Clang clang clang! Dense metallic clanging echoed in the void. The Netherworld Spirit Cat battled the Netherworld Shadow Cat, two black lightning bolts intertwining wildly on the field, making it impossible to see their figures clearly.
The battlefield was divided into several parts.
But the true core always lies in the center.
Tang San stood in the center of the group, his Purple Demon Eyes locked onto Ye Feng. He waved his hands, and dozens of thick Blue Silver Grasses slithered along the ground like venomous snakes, trying to entangle Ye Feng's legs.
"Blue-silver entanglement!"
"parasitic!"
Tang San not only activated the Entanglement Technique, but also triggered the Blue Silver Grass seeds that had been secretly scattered in the air.
"A mere trick." Ye Feng stood rooted to the spot, not moving an inch. "Shui Bing'er!"
"Understood!" Standing behind Ye Feng, Shui Bing'er's long, ice-blue hair moved without wind, and her first spirit ring shone brightly. "First Spirit Skill: Ice Seal!"
It wasn't a single-target freeze, but an instant-cast crowd control! Crack! The Blue Silver Grass that had just wrapped around Ye Feng's calves hadn't even had time to tighten before it instantly turned into fragile ice sculptures.
"Shatter!" Ye Feng stomped his foot lightly. Whoosh! All the Blue Silver Grass shattered into ice shards.
"Attribute suppression?!" Tang San's face darkened.
Blue Silver Grass belongs to the plant family and is most vulnerable to fire and ice. Although his Blue Silver Grass had been modified by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well (at this point, it was set that he had not yet gone there or had just gone there, so its resistance was not yet so abnormal), it was still no match for a high-level ice martial soul.
"Xiao Wu, use charm!" Tang San changed tactics.
Xiao Wu teleported in front of Ye Feng, blinked her big pink eyes, and activated her second soul skill, "Charm".
"Look at me!" Xiao Wu shouted.
Ye Feng glanced at her indifferently.
His mental strength had become as solid as a rock after absorbing the soul shock of the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
"Ah!" Xiao Wu screamed, covering her eyes with her hands, two streams of bloody tears flowing down her cheeks. Mental backlash!
"Xiao Wu!" Tang San was thrown into chaos and instantly flew into a rage.
"You dare hurt Xiao Wu!" Tang San's eyes instantly turned purplish-red, his spine suddenly bulged, and his clothes tore. Thud! Eight purplish-black spears burst forth from his body, gleaming with a chilling light and exuding a deadly poisonous aura.
External Soul Bone - Eight Spider Lances!
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
"That's... a soul bone?!" Several important figures in the VIP section all stood up.
At this moment, Tang San was like a demon god descending to earth, with eight spider spears supporting his body, his speed increased dramatically, and he rushed straight at Ye Feng.
"I'll make you pay!"
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er tried to stop them, but Ye Feng stopped them with his hand.
"Step back." Ye Feng looked at Tang San charging towards him, but instead of panicking, he revealed a hunter's smile upon seeing his prey. "Comparing cheat codes? Comparing soul bones?" "Then let me show you what true...violent aesthetics are."
Ye Feng planted the Thousand Chance Umbrella into the ground. He slowly raised his right hand. "Roar—!!!" A faint bear roar emanated from his body. His right hand instantly turned dark gold, his muscles bulged, and three dark gold blades, each twelve inches long, shot out!
External Soul Bone - Dark Gold Terror Claw!
"That's...another external soul bone?!" The audience erupted in cheers. Two legendary external soul bones had appeared in a single soul battle!
"Die!" Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, like eight long spears, pierced towards Ye Feng's vital points with deadly poison.
"Too slow." Ye Feng's eyes turned cold, and his right hand swung out fiercely. The dark golden terror claw, carrying a terrifying power that could tear through space, met the Eight Spider Lances head-on!
"Ding! Ding! Ding!" A series of rapid, crisp sounds.
The incredibly tough eight spider spears were actually repelled the moment they touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, and even a tiny crack appeared on one of the spears! The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is said to possess the power to tear apart a dragon's defenses, and its attack power is far superior to that of the Human-Faced Demon Spider!
"What?!" Tang San felt a tremendous force travel through his entire body along the spider spear, causing his internal organs to tremble.
"Break!" Ye Feng gave Tang San no chance to breathe, taking a step forward and shrinking the distance to an inch. The Dark Gold Terror Claw transformed into a golden streak of light, directly grabbing towards Tang San's chest.
Tang San had no choice but to cross his Eight Spider Lances in front of him for defense.
A piercing scraping sound rang out, sparks flying everywhere. Tang San was blasted away by this terrifying force, his Eight Spider Lances trembling violently, as if they would break at any moment. He crashed heavily onto the edge of the arena, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
"Third Brother!" "Little Third Brother!"
The Shrek team was shocked and wanted to rush back to their aid. But how could the other members of the full-time team give them the chance?
"Trying to leave? Did you ask me first!" Hu Yanli charged forward, slamming Dai Mubai to the ground. "Freeze a Thousand Miles!" Shui Bing'er activated her second soul skill, freezing Ning Rongrong and Oscar who were trying to rescue her. "Hehe, your opponent is me." Leng Qianqian forced Zhu Zhuqing back with a claw.
In the center of the arena, only Ye Feng and Tang San, who was swaying as he stood up, remained.
Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with resentment. His trump cards, hidden weapons, poison, and control techniques all seemed like a joke in front of the man before him.
"You lost."
Ye Feng pulled out the Thousand Chance Umbrella from the ground, pointing the tip of the umbrella at Tang San's throat.
"Your control abilities are completely countered by my teammates."
"Your aggressive attack was crushed by my tank."
"Your external soul bone is suppressed by my Dark Gold Terror Claw."
Ye Feng's voice echoed throughout the entire Great Soul Arena through the loudspeaker.
"And..." Ye Feng leaned down slightly and said in a voice only Tang San could hear, "The so-called 'Monster Academy' is nothing but a bunch of frogs in a well with some talent but no sense of their own limitations. The real monsters... are here."
Tang San stared intently at Ye Feng, then finally lowered his head helplessly.
"We... admit defeat."
"Boom—!!!" Thunderous applause and cheers erupted throughout the arena. "All-Round Team! All-Round Team!" "Ye Feng! My god!" "Too strong! Even Shrek Academy was completely crushed!"
Ye Feng turned around, his back to the fallen Shrek Seven Devils, and raised the Thousand Chance Umbrella high in his hand . Shui Bing'er, Leng Qianqian, Shui Yue'er, Bai Xiaochun, and others surrounded him, each of them beaming with the joy of victory.
"We won! Brother Feng, we won!" Ye Shaotian excitedly tried to hug Ye Feng, but Hu Yanli grabbed him and pulled him away. "Ouch, be gentle! My back!"
Shui Bing'er watched Ye Feng's retreating figure, her eyes overflowing with admiration. Leng Qianqian, on the other hand, snorted arrogantly, "Tch, at least he didn't embarrass me."
In the VIP section, Mingyue held a glass of red wine, looking at the spirited young man on the stage, a beautiful smile curving her lips.
...
The rest area after the game.
The atmosphere at Shrek Academy was deathly silent. Dean Flander pushed up his glasses, his face ashen. Master Yu Xiaogang stared at the match record in his hand, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"A perfect setup, absolute dominance, and Ye Feng's unfathomable martial soul and external soul bone..." The master sighed, "Xiao San, you didn't lose unjustly this time."
"Teacher, I refuse to accept this." Tang San clenched his fist, a fierce glint in his eyes. "What if I also used hidden weapons..."
"A loss is a loss," the master interrupted him. "But it may not be a bad thing. At least it lets you know that there are always people stronger than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. That Ye Feng… will be your biggest rival in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."
Meanwhile, in the luxurious private room on the other side.
The full-time team is celebrating with champagne.
"Cheers!" Ye Feng was surrounded by beauties, with Shui Yue'er even boldly sitting next to him and peeling grapes for him. "Captain, what do we do next?" Hu Yanli asked while gnawing on a pig's trotter.
Ye Feng took a sip of wine and looked out the window at the bustling night view.
"After the younger ones are dealt with, the older ones should be coming out soon."
"Moreover..." Ye Feng took out a map from his pocket and pointed in a direction outside Tian Dou City.
"Now that we're in Tiandou City, there's a place we absolutely must visit."
"There are immortal herbs there that can allow all of your martial souls to evolve once again."
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"
