69: The Spirit Hall team was tricked
At this time, everyone at Blue Tyrant Academy firmly believed that their team could win the championship.
After all, Tang San had returned last night after obtaining his fifth Soul Ring, and he had won everyone's praise after immediately demonstrating his powerful fifth Soul Skill.
The most crucial point was that when Tang San tested the current poison of the Soul Devouring Grass yesterday, even Liu Erlong, who was a Soul Saint, was affected by the Soul Devouring Grass poison.
This further strengthened the Blue Tyrant Academy teachers and students' resolve to win the championship. Of course, this was because they hadn't witnessed Dai Mubai instantly killing a Soul Emperor.
Due to being overly focused on Tang San and anticipating everything after winning the championship, everyone at Blue Tyrant Academy didn't even bother to inquire about what happened yesterday.
"After Xiao San wins the championship, regarding those three Soul Bones, in my opinion, you can absorb the 50,000-year Wisdom Skull Bone. The speed-type Leg Bone is suitable for Xiao Wu, and how about that Exploding Soul Bone for your teacher's mother, Erlong?"
Yu Xiaogang was already discussing the distribution of Soul Bones after winning the championship with a few people, and this statement didn't elicit any objections from the others.
However, Tang San was a bit displeased internally. Although Yu Xiaogang's distribution was fine, it would have been better if he had said it himself.
After all, in Tang San's heart at this time, he was the meritorious contributor to winning the championship, and saying these words himself would clearly show his "noble character."
However, since Yu Xiaogang had already said it, Tang San also acted magnanimous and nodded.
"Xiao Gang, you are so good to me."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words about distributing Soul Bones further solidified the heavily love-struck Liu Erlong's belief that Yu Xiaogang loved her.
Although Yu Xiaogang asked her to voluntarily test Xiao San's poison yesterday, and despite the pain Liu Erlong experienced after being poisoned, hearing Yu Xiaogang's words today directly eliminated that little knot in Liu Erlong's heart.
And Xiao Wu, looking at the increasingly gloomy Tang San after obtaining his fifth Soul Ring, wanted to say something but finally just leaned her head on Tang San's shoulder and said one sentence.
"San Ge, after the competition, can you accompany me for a walk to clear my mind?"
Xiao Wu actually knew privately about Tang San killing people to cultivate, but firstly, as a transformed Soul Beast, she didn't care about the life or death of Soul Masters.
Secondly, Xiao Wu's dependence on Tang San since childhood led her to know all this but not stop him.
At this time, Xiao Wu just wanted to help Tang San eliminate that bloodthirsty aura after the competition. Tang San also smiled and nodded in agreement, but the aura Xiao Wu disliked the most about Tang San would accompany him for the rest of his life.
After the results of the draw for the competition stage were announced, the first match was surprisingly the Blue Tyrant Academy Team against the Spirit Hall Team.
After the seven people from both sides arrived at the competition stage, Yan, even after sensing that the Tang San before him had become a Soul King, still spoke with disdain and began to mock him.
"Don't think that just because you got into the finals by luck you can try to defeat us. We have three Soul Kings! A lineup of four high-level Soul Grandmasters. You're just a mutated Blue Silver Grass, I can burn it all with one fire."
Tang San heard Yan's provocation, showed no expression on the surface, but internally added Yan to the list of people who deserved to die.
However, Tang San still had some reservations about Yan, as he was a fire-attribute Soul Master who countered him.
Even though his current Soul Devouring Grass had been strengthened quite a bit, facing a fire-attribute Soul Master would inevitably still result in being countered.
But Xiao Wu wasn't thinking. After all, her intelligence was already concerning, so she directly retorted for Tang San.
"You're over twenty and only a Soul King, how can you have the nerve to talk tough? By the time my San Ge reaches your age, he'll already be a Soul Emperor or even close to a Soul Saint! At that time, one hand will be enough to deal with you!"
Xiao Wu's words directly struck the entire Spirit Hall Team, and even her own teammates.
However, it must be said that these words made everyone except Hu Liena look a bit displeased, because Xiao Wu was speaking the truth.
The golden age for a Soul Master is before fifty. The higher their cultivation before fifty, the more hope they have of advancing to Title Douluo and walking further on the path to Title Douluo.
At this moment, Hu Liena was not in the mood to talk tough or listen to Xiao Wu's words. All her thoughts were on how to deal with Shrek Academy.
After all, in her opinion, Tang San was just a bit tricky in terms of poison and his Martial Soul was countered by Yan, little did she know that her carelessness at this moment led to everything that followed.
"Both sides, prepare!"
With the referee's command, the fourteen people from both sides also got ready, just waiting for the start signal to immediately complete their Martial Soul Possession.
As the referee announced the start of the match, Tang San moved instantly. The fourth Soul Ring under his feet lit up, and seven Soul Devouring Cages instantly enveloped the seven people of the Spirit Hall Team.
However, this couldn't trouble them, as they had Yan. After Yan completed his Martial Soul Possession, he immediately used his fourth Soul Skill: Magma Surge, helping the Spirit Hall members break free within just a few breaths.
"Talented youth, do you have any other tricks?"
Yan yawned and continued to provoke Tang San. In his opinion, Tang San, having lost this most crucial fourth Soul Skill, was completely defenseless.
Unfortunately, what the Spirit Hall members didn't notice was that although Yan helped them break free.
The reddish viscous liquid flowing from the remaining Soul Devouring Grass fragments that weren't burned was slowly releasing something.
"Don't underestimate the opponent! Finish it quickly."
Hu Liena couldn't help but frown at Yan's arrogance and spoke up ahead of time, signaling him to deal with everyone except Xiao Wu.
Seeing this, Yan nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would follow Hu Liena's command one hundred percent.
The other four were signaled by Hu Liena's eyes to quickly deal with the remaining Soul Venerables.
Just as the Spirit Hall members determined their respective targets, they immediately released their attacks and charged towards the seven people of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Seeing this, Tang San immediately released the Soul Devouring Cage again to protect everyone.
Thus, Yan looked at Tang San inside the Soul Devouring Cage with eyes full of sarcasm, as in his opinion, Tang San had no other means besides this move.
However, this time Yan directly used his fifth Soul Skill: Flying Sand and Wild Flames.
Because he also wanted to finish Tang San as quickly as possible, and then go back to help his beloved Nana prepare how to deal with Shrek Academy in time.
Under the attack of Flying Sand and Wild Flames, this time the Soul Devouring Cage did not last more than three breaths before being directly broken through.
And at this moment, Tang San smiled, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at the Spirit Hall members.
This scene made the Spirit Hall members full of questions, and Yan even thought Tang San had gone crazy because he realized he was countered by him.
Hu Liena looked at Tang San, who was smiling more and more freely and gloomily at this moment, and a faint bad premonition arose in her heart. She looked at Tang San and couldn't help but ask.
"Tang San, you're about to lose, can you still laugh?"
"Lose? For you, it's indeed losing without discovering anything."
Tang San's words were pointed, and Hu Liena immediately felt something was wrong. She looked around and found that all the Soul Devouring Grass fragments had mysteriously disappeared.
And at this moment, everyone in Spirit Hall felt as if they had been poisoned, and their entire bodies couldn't help but start to weaken.
At this moment, even if the Spirit Hall members were foolish, they realized that they had fallen for Tang San's scheme.
When Hu Liena was about to use her Charm on Tang San, the irritable Yan directly endured his weakness and once again quickly prepared to unleash his fifth Soul Skill: Flying Sand and Wild Flames on Tang San.
And Xie Yue, who specialized in speed, had already arrived beside Tang San with his sharp blade, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Tang San from a distance of no more than two meters.
Tang San looked at the three of them and once again activated his fourth Soul Skill, Soul Devouring Cage, to protect himself and Xiao Wu.
Inside the Soul Devouring Cage, Tang San's fifth Soul Ring under his feet lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Soul Devouring Poison Blast!"
After Tang San unleashed his fifth Soul Skill, the four Soul Grandmasters from Spirit Hall fell down as if they were uncontrollable.
Even the Golden Generation trio only held on for one more breath. This time was too difficult for them, afflicted with Soul Devouring Poison, to defeat Tang San under these circumstances.
Even Xie Yue only managed to break through Tang San's Soul Devouring Cage before falling down.
And Yan's fifth Soul Skill fell down when it was only a few meters away from Tang San, so Tang San easily dodged Yan's fifth Soul Skill by flashing away.
As the one with the strongest mental power among the three, Hu Liena, before she fell down, spoke unwillingly towards Tang San's direction and asked.
"Your poison clearly needed ten breaths before, and why are you immune to my Charm?"
Hu Liena could deduce that after Tang San advanced to Soul King, the poison might be effective against Soul Kings, but why did the duration shorten so much when he used his fifth Soul Skill?
The most crucial thing Hu Liena was curious about was why Tang San was immune to her Charm.
This was naturally because, although Tang San did not obtain the 'Observing Autumn Water Dew' in this life and directly advanced to the Microcosm realm.
However, Tang San's improvement through the Blood Resentment Grass coupled with constantly devouring vengeful Spirits brought him only a step away from the Microcosm realm at this time.
Until Hu Liena fell down, Tang San did not give her the answers to these two questions.
