72: Tragic Tang San
At this moment, Tang San was still on the verge of collapse. After all, his strongest attack had also been blocked. Now, he had truly reached a dead end.
Gu Yuena dispersed the elemental wall at this time, her eyes filled with killing intent as she looked at Tang San. After all, Tang San's tactic of feigning surrender and then using a dirty trick was simply shameless.
At this time, the referee from Spirit Hall also looked at Tang San with ill intent. After all, Tang San's feigned surrender and subsequent attack were already a violation of the rules.
Furthermore, Tang San used Hidden Weapons, and the competition rules explicitly stated that no weapons other than Martial Souls could be used.
With these two violations combined, Tang San naturally made the referee in charge of the finals feel immensely humiliated.
However, the referee did not choose to step forward at this moment to declare Tang San's violation and defeat, because Shrek's side was already channeling their Soul Skills.
Since Tang San had not surrendered, the match was naturally not over. The referee was certainly more than happy to let Tang San suffer a bit.
By the time Tang San reacted, it was too late. He was already in a state of near collapse, and as soon as he reacted, he saw three Zhu Zhuqings from different directions, all with murderous looks, releasing nine Netherworld Phantom Slashes at him. Each Netherworld Phantom Slash had the power of a full-strength blow from a high-level Soul King.
And not far away, Ma Hongjun had also charged up the power of his Flame Burst Phoenix Slash. At this moment, the power of Ma Hongjun's attack was already comparable to a full-strength blow from a Soul Emperor.
As for Gu Yuena, she showed no mercy either. The attack condensed from the three elements of wind, fire, and ice reached the Soul Saint level.
At this moment, Tang San immediately released his fourth Soul Skill, Soul Devouring Cage, to protect himself, while also shouting for help towards the referee.
"Referee, our Blue Tyrant Academy admits... Pfft"
This time, Tang San's words of surrender were not finished. He was directly struck by Zhu Zhuqing's attack, causing him to kneel and vomit blood.
The first three Netherworld Phantom Slashes had already broken through the defense of Tang San's Soul Devouring Cage, and resisting the last three Netherworld Phantom Slashes also directly consumed nearly seventy percent of Tang San's Soul power.
While Tang San was still immersed in pain, Ma Hongjun's Flame Burst Phoenix Slash had already arrived before him.
Although Tang San desperately used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to try and escape at this moment, he still took a solid hit on his left side.
With this single blow, Tang San was directly sent flying to the edge of the competition stage. At this moment, Tang San was also completely exhausted, with large areas of his clothes burned and charred.
The exposed skin surface was covered with burn marks, and a two-foot-long bloody wound even appeared on Tang San's left side. The exposed flesh and blood within were charred black, emitting waves of burnt smell.
But at this moment, the dying and immobile Tang San still had to face Gu Yuena's ice-fire-wind tornado, an attack that reached the Soul Saint level.
Tang San struggled to open his mouth to surrender, but seeing the referee's mocking expression, he understood everything.
At this moment, Tang San seemed to see the attack that was so close, and he seemed to hear the call of death.
"San Ge, run!"
Xiao Wu, seeing that Tang San was dying and still had to face Gu Yuena's terrifying attack, intended to rush up directly.
However, someone was faster than her. Titan had already flashed in front of Tang San, directly activating his Martial Soul True Body and solidly blocking the attack.
"Referee! Our Blue Tyrant Academy's people are almost dead, why aren't you doing anything!"
Looking at Tang San, who had no good spots left on his body, Titan's eyes turned red, and his veins bulged all over his body as he angrily questioned the referee.
However, as the final referee of Spirit Hall, his own cultivation had also reached the Soul Douluo level.
What's more, in front of Spirit Hall, he could have saved Tang San, but because Tang San had openly slapped his face, he had allowed it to happen.
In fact, at the last moment, the final referee had planned to intervene, giving Tang San a bit of a hard time was one thing, but he didn't expect Titan to move faster.
If someone truly died on the competition stage, he would also be held accountable. However, at this moment, he did not give Titan any good look, just coldly spoke a few perfunctory words.
"He didn't finish speaking, so it doesn't count as a surrender. However, just dozens of breaths ago, he used the pretense of surrender to launch a sneak attack using despicable means. What if your Blue Tyrant Academy still has a hidden move? After all, the match isn't over!"
In the last sentence, the referee even carried a hint of mockery in his tone. After all, his status and position within Spirit Hall did not allow people of the same rank to openly insult him in public.
"Good! Then I report Shrek Academy for suspected murder, is that acceptable? After all, our academy's members have fallen, and they are still attacking!"
At this moment, Titan knew that arguing with this final referee was pointless, so he turned his focus and directly raised the issue of Gu Yuena's final attack.
"Sorry, but who told your Blue Tyrant Academy's students to be so strong? We certainly had to go all out to show respect to your Blue Tyrant Academy. When we go all out, there will inevitably be some lack of control. After all, how could we know if your academy's Tang San wouldn't pull out some defensive weapon to dodge it?"
Seeing this, Ma Hongjun responded with a sneer, and everyone from Shrek nodded in agreement with Ma Hongjun's viewpoint after he finished speaking.
Hearing Ma Hongjun's final words, which were remarkably similar to the final referee's, Titan's eyes gradually became bloodshot, seemingly on the verge of losing control.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stepped onto the stage, patted Titan's shoulder, and motioned towards Bibi Dong above, which allowed Titan to regain his composure.
After picking up the heavily injured Tang San, Titan glanced at the Shrek Academy members with eyes full of resentment before leaving the stage with a stern face.
Yu Xiaogang also looked at Tang San with heartache, then coldly eyed the Shrek members before turning to Flander and mocking him.
"Are the students taught by your academy all murderers? Truly, what kind of teacher teaches what kind of person."
"Grandmaster's words are well said, what kind of teacher teaches what kind of person. So, Tang San's actions were taught by Grandmaster?"
Oscar initially laughed and echoed Yu Xiaogang's words, then his tone shifted, directly bringing up Tang San's final actions.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's teeth were almost ground to dust. Could he admit it at this point? If he intentionally let his student do this, his face would be completely lost.
Moreover, there was the watchful final referee nearby, so Yu Xiaogang could only walk off the competition stage with a stern face, feeling utterly humiliated, just like Titan.
The Golden Generation trio also shook their heads helplessly after seeing Shrek's strength. Hu Liena could only take a deep breath and announce their withdrawal.
After all, they had already felt disheartened when they witnessed Dai Mubai's strength, and seeing that Gu Yuena could unleash an attack comparable to a Soul Saint made their hearts sink to the bottom.
If the vice-captain had such strength, there was no need to mention Dai Mubai's full power. Fighting under such a large disparity was no different from hitting a rock with an egg.
Bibi Dong also tacitly accepted the defeat of the Golden Generation trio. She couldn't help but sigh after watching.
Looking in the direction of the Golden Generation trio, she couldn't help but feel sad for them in her heart. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all geniuses, but in front of the few people from Shrek Academy, they could not even be called geniuses.
At this moment, everyone was not concerned about Blue Tyrant Academy's humiliation, because Bibi Dong had already stepped forward to prepare for the award ceremony. Dai Mubai yawned and also put on a serious expression to go up and receive the award.
"I announce! The champion of this year's competition is Shrek Academy!"
After speaking, Bibi Dong personally presented the three Soul Bones to Dai Mubai on the spot.
These three Soul Bones immediately made many people's eyes go wide, but seeing Dugu Bo appear above and cough, many people dispelled their thoughts.
After all, Dugu Bo was now the person who defeated Tang Hao, that legendary Title Douluo. Many people knew his granddaughter.
These thoughts instantly turned into bubbles. After all, even a regular Title Douluo who desired these Soul Bones would first have to ask Dugu Bo if he agreed.
After Dai Mubai received the award, he saw that Bibi Dong seemed to have something she wanted to say but hesitated, so he spoke softly.
"Pope Mianxia, if you don't act now, the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast will run away."
Bibi Dong smiled helplessly upon hearing this. She was not surprised that Dai Mubai knew Xiao Wu's identity.
After all, someone who could reveal the God inheritance she possessed, not being able to see through this would instead make Bibi Dong suspicious.
However, Bibi Dong glanced at Dai Mubai and couldn't help but tentatively ask.
"You don't want the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?"
Dai Mubai smiled mysteriously and spoke a baffling sentence to Bibi Dong in a casual tone.
"Pope Mianxia, being able to keep her now is the key."
Although Bibi Dong was very puzzled by this, she still did not intend to stop her plan.
After Dai Mubai stepped down, Bibi Dong looked at Blue Tyrant Academy, who was trying to leave, and said coldly.
"Someone! Bring that pink-clothed girl from Blue Tyrant Academy to this Pope!"
