"Oscar, make me a flying sausage." Tang San spoke rapidly, swallowing a detoxifying sausage just in case.
"Got it." Oscar didn't waste a moment and immediately began making one.
Their exchange lasted only a few blinks of an eye. As Yu Tianheng and the others quickly approached, Xiao Wu bent her legs slightly. "Third Soul Skill, Teleport!" Her figure flickered twice in midair, appearing instantly before Yang Yunhai, her eyes glowing with red light.
"Second Soul Skill, Charm."
Through the vine's opening used for outside observation, her gaze suddenly locked with his azure eyes.
"Hiss," Caught off guard without actively resisting with spiritual power, Yang Yunhai's mind stalled. His soul power circulation halted, and he instinctively raised a hand to his temple.
His head swayed slightly to ease the discomfort, causing the surrounding vines to loosen on their own.
At the same time, "Ugh!" Xiao Wu's body froze midair. Her eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.
Her whole body burned with fever, nausea churned in her stomach, her nose bled, and she plummeted downward.
"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's face changed drastically, his pupils widening.
"Xiao Hai!" As the vines opened, Dugu Yan's vision cleared. She saw Yang Yunhai under the effects of the charm, clutching his head as though in great pain. The situation around them looked dire, especially with the enemy control-type soul master, sharp spider lances behind his back and a murderous look in his eyes, seemingly ready to stab Yang Yunhai. Her face shifted, and fury surged up. She immediately spat out poison mist.
"Third Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Violet Poison!"
The purple mist spread rapidly, covering Xiao Wu in almost an instant.
Tang San reacted swiftly. A vine extended, wrapping around the falling Xiao Wu and pulling her back.
Even so, she was clearly poisoned.
"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!" Ma Hongjun quickly used the last of his soul power to unleash his attack.
"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave!" Dai Mubai followed up, his mouth shooting a beam of light at Dugu Yan, the source of the poison mist.
Yang Yunhai's consciousness, freed after barely a second under charm, raised his hand instinctively. The surrounding vines tightened again as his second soul skill activated. They absorbed both the soul power in the air and the poison mist drifting toward them, shielding the allies inside.
On the other side, seeing Yu Tianheng and his team rushing over, Tang San clenched his right hand, suppressing his anger.
"Second Soul Skill, Parasite."
Because Yu Tianheng and the others had passed through his vines earlier, parasitic seeds left behind sprouted instantly.
"They even have a parasite skill?" Yu Tianheng's face darkened. His body shook.
"Second Soul Skill, Thunder's Fury!"
Thunder burst forth, and with the boost of his third soul skill, his second soul skill shattered the Blue Silver Grass vines constricting him.
"As expected, his vines are still weaker than Xiao Hai's," he thought, turning at once to free his teammates.
"Don't think so! Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" Dai Mubai roared, charging at him.
The vines were too many to clear at once. Yu Tianheng had no choice but to turn and meet his attack head-on. "Yufeng, free Oslo and Zhu Zhuqing first!" He reasoned that the fire soul master was already drained of power and posed no threat. The two support soul masters were harmless as well.
"First Soul Skill, Wing Blade!" Yufeng dove down, wings slicing toward the vines.
"No need. Go deal with the other three." Yang Yunhai's voice rang out.
He immediately activated the parasitic spores he had planted on Oslo, Yu Tianheng, and Zhu Zhuqing earlier. Vines erupted from their bodies in an instant.
The vines Tang San had placed on them were burst apart, while Yu Tianheng's vines lashed toward Dai Mubai.
"Zhuqing, go assist Yufeng. Oslo, help the captain." Yang Yunhai's voice echoed again.
The two complied as their vines retracted and rushed to their new targets.
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Barrier!" On the battle stage, Dai Mubai's face tightened as he clashed with Yu Tianheng. He hurriedly summoned his barrier, using the rebound to retreat.
Luckily he had that barrier. Otherwise… His mood sank heavily.
Seeing control fail, Yang Yunhai quickly recalled his vines. Yu Tianheng seized the chance to charge Dai Mubai again.
Dai Mubai felt stifled, forced to fight while constantly watching for vines to bind him. Worse, another Soul Elder was on his way,two against one. He had no chance.
The situation looked grim.
"Blue Silver Grass can be used like this?" In the audience, Flender's worried expression gave way to shock.
"Parasitic skill?" Yu Xiaogang was stunned, immediately recognizing the development of a parasitic technique.
"Amazing!" The spectators erupted in cheers, thrilled by the spectacle.
Meanwhile, as Yufeng and Zhu Zhuqing charged, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun paled in fright.
At that moment, Tang San,having sealed Xiao Wu's acupoints to stop the poison's spread and fed her Oscar's detoxifying sausage,stood up.
His face was icy cold, his eyes filled with killing intent. His voice, low and dark, carried across the field.
"If you think you can defeat us, it won't be that easy!"
His hands blurred like illusions as they moved to his waist.
"Stop!" Yang Yunhai's eyes narrowed. He immediately drew upon the soul power of his teammates to fuel the parasitic spores.
In the next instant, vines exploded outward, wrapping everyone in layers, including the diving Yufeng.
"???" Stunned, Yufeng crashed headfirst into the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," At the same moment the vines spread, faint whistling sounds filled the air.
"Damn it, shameless! Can't accept losing!?" Dugu Bo cursed outright.
Countless hidden weapons,needles, daggers, knives, nails, spikes,shot out of Tang San's phantom-like hands.
For hurting Xiao Wu, death was the only answer. Tang San's eyes glowed purple, targeting Yang Yunhai and Dugu Yan.
The weapons flew for throats, hearts, and other vital points, every gap exploited.
The spectators felt their scalps crawl, while Dugu Bo's expression grew darker, his eyes frosty.
Thankfully, he had confiscated Tang San's crystal earlier. Otherwise, Tang San truly seemed mad. Xiao Wu injured, his reason collapsed,this was no longer competition but attempted murder. Yang Yunhai's heart trembled.
Then he felt a sharp sting in his thigh,another needle.
"Hiss!" A groan of pain came from nearby. Yang Yunhai turned quickly,it was Dugu Yan.
He instantly extended vines, pulling Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling into a protective cocoon behind him.
The Purple Demon Eye combined with hidden weapons was indeed terrifying,he had left only tiny gaps, yet Tang San had exploited them. "Yan-jie, I'm sorry…" He poured more soul power into sealing the gaps, then turned to her.
"Yan-jie, are you alright?"
"I've already taken the antidote you prepared earlier." Her voice was low, heavy with anger. Then, suddenly louder, "This man is truly shameless. It's bad enough to use artificial weapons in the arena, but to coat them with poison as well!"
"Damn it!" Dugu Bo exploded in fury, his gaze icy.
"Wow!" The audience instantly erupted.
"This guy is an insult to soul masters!" one shouted angrily.
"Using hidden weapons in the arena is bad enough, but to add poison? That's outright murder!"
"To think their academy taught such a ruthless, dishonorable student, shameless! I'll never support Shrek Academy again!"
