There was no grand display of power, no brilliant light, but the sense of oppression contained within the giant hand caused all keen-sensing experts to feel heart palpitations. This was by no means something a mere Spirit Ancestor could withstand.
If that giant hand fell on Tang San... he would die!
There was no possibility of survival.
Facing this slowly descending invisible giant hand, Tang San's face was distorted and hideous to the extreme, and a beast-like roar erupted from his throat.
"Roar——!!"
Deep purple Blue Silver Grass erupted frantically from his body like wildly growing vines, weaving into layers of mesh in an attempt to lift and bind the descending giant hand.
However, the Blue Silver Grass, which had always been known for its tenacious Life force and resilience, appeared so fragile in Tang San's hands.
Under the pressure of the giant hand, it was like snow meeting a branding iron; before even making contact, it snapped inch by inch in a series of dense, crisp "crackling" sounds, exploding into purple fragments that flew all over the sky.
"Mysterious Heaven Skill! Move for me——"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, the corners nearly splitting, as he pushed the Mysterious Heaven Skill to an unprecedented limit.
Seeing that the Blue Silver Grass was useless, he released the Clear Sky Hammer with his right hand, gripping the handle tightly.
Behind him, the eight hideous and sharp Eight Spider Lances also burst out from his body, flickering with a cold, purplish-black luster as they propped themselves upward.
In this moment, he burned everything!
Under the immense pressure, there was a sudden "bang."
A Breakthrough in the heat of battle!
Tang San had reached Rank forty-four!
However, the strength gap between him and Yang Yuan could no longer be measured by simple Spirit Power Levels.
Between the two of them lay a bottomless, insurmountable chasm.
Facing his frantic struggles, Yang Yuan's face didn't even show a hint of emotion; he merely flicked the tip of his index finger, pressing down slightly by half a centimeter.
The next moment.
"Boom——!!"
Before that slowly descending invisible giant hand, all of Tang San's struggles appeared pale and futile.
"Crack! Crack! Crack..."
A series of tooth-aching, dense sounds of bone fractures rang out from within Tang San's body like popping beans.
"Pfft—!"
Tang San sprayed out a large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments. Like a flattened frog, he was slammed prone onto the arena stage by this pressure, completely unable to resist.
The hard stone slabs of the arena beneath him, which were enough to withstand the full-force attack of a Spirit King, shattered and sank inch by inch like tofu, forming a shocking human-shaped pit.
Tang San was deeply embedded in the arena, his limbs twisted in unnatural angles.
Blood constantly seeped from his mouth, nose, ears, and even his skin pores, instantly dyeing the rubble beneath him red.
The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand shattered, and the Eight Spider Lances were broken into pieces, left in a wretched state.
At this moment, Tang San's breath was faint, and his eyes looked as if he were on the verge of death.
"Little San——!!"
In the Shrek rest area, Yu Xiaogang, who had still been harboring a glimmer of hope, felt his vision go dark and his heart nearly stop when he saw Tang San's bones broken and his body embedded in the arena.
Mere pressure had already turned Tang San into this miserable state. If that truly invisible giant hand were to fully land... would Tang San even have a Life left?
Tang San was not only Yu Xiaogang's Disciple but also his only hope of proving his theories to the world!
How could he stand by and watch Tang San die here?
Yu Xiaogang could no longer care about any competition rules. His face was full of panic, and his voice was so sharp it cracked as he screamed heart-wrenchingly toward the arena:
"We forfeit, we forfeit!!"
"Stop it, quickly!"
Almost simultaneously, Flender and Liu Erlong also reacted. Their Spirits possessed them instantly as they rushed toward the arena while shouting.
"We forfeit!"
"Shrek Academy forfeits!"
On the VIP stand, Bibi Dong's brow furrowed slightly, but she did not stop them.
Upon hearing the shouts of "forfeit," Yang Yuan glanced slightly in Tang San's direction and withdrew his hand.
Immediately, the slowly pressing invisible giant hand, along with the terrifying pressure shrouding the entire field, dissipated instantly like a receding tide, as if it had never appeared.
On the arena, only a crack-filled pit remained, along with Tang San's incredibly wretched figure inside it.
Yang Yuan looked calmly at the referee.
The latter shuddered and hurriedly announced loudly:
"Shrek Academy forfeits! Heaven Dou Royal Academy Main Team wins!"
"Whoa——"
"Heaven Dou! Heaven Dou!!"
After a brief, dead silence, there was an earth-shattering, deafening cheer like a landslide or a tsunami.
The supporters of Heaven Dou Academy went wild, and even neutral spectators were won over by this absolute crushing strength. Countless people shouted for him.
The waves of sound were endless!
On the stage, the remaining six members of Shrek felt their entire bodies relax as the terrifying pressure vanished, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted.
Then their legs gave way, and they all happened to collapse onto the arena, panting heavily, their faces filled with the exhaustion and relief of having survived a disaster.
But when they saw Tang San's mangled state in the pit, the relief they had just felt was immediately replaced by a bone-chilling cold.
They had no doubt that when that pressure shrouded the arena just now, they truly thought they would be crushed by it in the next moment.
Death seemed to be right at hand!
At this time, three figures flew up from below the arena.
It was Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong.
The moment the referee announced the result, they rushed over regardless of everything.
When he saw Tang San's terrifying appearance with broken bones and blood leaking from his seven orifices, a hateful evil fire rushed straight to Yu Xiaogang's head.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he looked toward the center of the VIP seats, shouting frantically in a hoarse, piercing voice:
"I'm lodging a complaint! I want to lodge a complaint!!"
"Yang Yuan isn't competing; he's murdering! This is intentional homicide!!"
"As the leader of Shrek Academy, I apply for the immediate disqualification of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Main Team and for the murderer Yang Yuan to be severely punished."
Yu Xiaogang knew he couldn't avenge Tang San himself, but he was still unwilling to let it go, attempting to make Yang Yuan pay a price in this way.
At the very least... he had to make him lose his eligibility to compete for the championship.
On the VIP stand.
Bibi Dong looked down indifferently at all of this. She originally had no intention of responding to Yu Xiaogang's frantic clamoring.
In her eyes, the latter's accusation was nothing more than a farce.
But when her gaze fell on Yang Yuan again, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
With the strength Yang Yuan had just displayed, it was absolutely impossible for Spirit Hall's Golden Generation to defeat the Heaven Dou Main Team, and the championship would surely be lost.
One must know that this year's championship not only concerned Spirit Hall's reputation but also meant her previous plans would fail. The Spirit Bones she had carefully prepared for Hu Liena and the other two would also fall into Yang Yuan's hands.
A cold thought flashed through Bibi Dong's mind, and she gave a cold smile.
Since they couldn't win, then they wouldn't fight!
Yu Xiaogang's accusation provided her with the perfect excuse to go along with the situation and make a big deal out of it.
As long as the Heaven Dou Main Team was disqualified, the championship would still belong to Spirit Hall.
With only a Heaven Dou Vice Team remaining, they were no match for the Spirit Hall team.
Thinking of this, a flash of decisiveness appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She slowly stood up from her throne. Her elegant and noble figure immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience, and even the cheers gradually died down.
She looked down from her high position, her gaze first sweeping indifferently over the seemingly crazed Yu Xiaogang.
Then it fell upon Yang Yuan, her voice cold and majestic, echoing throughout the entire arena:
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy student, Yang Yuan."
"Shrek Academy leader Yu Xiaogang accuses you of intentional murder during the match, using cruel methods that far exceed the scope of the competition."
"Regarding this accusation..."
"Do you admit it, or not!!"
