Tang San re-wrapped Blue Silver Grass around Ning Rongrong and pulled her back behind him.
On the Royal Fighting Team's side, the Shi brothers were the first to act, throwing off their shirts to reveal their granite-like muscles. With the release of their martial souls, their shoulders slowly leaned forward, their backs arching slightly. All the earthy-yellow light formed by their soul power converged towards their backs, forming a huge dark yellow tortoise shell.
The patterns on the tortoise shell were light yellow, and the Shi brothers' entire skeletal structure seemed to have changed with the appearance of this shell.
Not only did a tortoise shell appear on their backs, but it also appeared on their front, and their limbs seemed to shorten slightly. In the center of the plastron within the tortoise shell was a huge symbol.
This was their martial soul, the Xuanwu Tortoise.
It shimmered with a faint blue light. Three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, coiled around their bodies from bottom to top. Because their bodies had swelled considerably after their martial souls produced the tortoise shell, the soul rings coiled around them seemed somewhat deformed.
Closest to the Shi brothers was Dai Mubai.
The powerful aura emanating from Dai Mubai was forcibly blocked from the front after the Shi brothers released their martial souls, failing to exert any pressure on the other members of the Royal Fighting Team behind them.
Through the gap between the Shi brothers, Yu Tianheng could be seen. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one of the top-tier beast martial souls, ignited the emotions of all the VIP spectators from the very beginning. With a roar
to
the sky, Dai Mubai boosted his team's morale, charging towards his opponents first. His entire body was enveloped in golden light after activating the White Tiger Protective Barrier, and coupled with his unstoppable momentum, he looked extremely formidable. Only his attire was somewhat repulsive.
The Shi brothers did not panic; their first spirit rings also lit up, and they charged towards Dai Mubai side by side.
Dai Mubai stomped his feet on the ground and leaped up, his tiger claws extending with barbs under the enhancement of Ning Rongrong's "first spirit skill" and "second spirit skill."
"Die!"
A sharp shout rang out as Dai Mubai slammed his palms towards the Shi brothers' heads.
But the Shi brothers were prepared, fearless, their heads retracting into their tortoise shells.
Dai Mubai's tiger claws could only strike the shells, sparks flying.
"Bang!" A loud crash echoed as Dai Mubai was sent flying.
Just then, Yu Tianheng pulled out his Thunder Dragon Claw and swung it down.
The claw was about to strike Dai Mubai, but none of the Shrek Seven Devils panicked.
Tang San, guarding Ning Rongrong, sneered inwardly. This was the moment he had been waiting for. Now that Zhu Zhuqing had held off the zuzong, he could proceed with his original plan to lure Yu Tianheng into an ambush. Dealing with Yu Tianheng would make things much easier, allowing him to then launch a final attack on the zuzong.
However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Just as Tang San was about to use "Crane Control and Dragon Capture" on the Blue Silver Grass to pull Dai Mubai back, he discovered that the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Dai Mubai's waist seemed to have lost control. " I can't control it anymore.
" Tang San thought to himself. "Damn it, I made a mistake." He didn't think of any other possibilities, after all, no one present had made a move. Blue Silver Grass was his own martial soul, and no one else could control it invisibly.
The consequences of Tang San's "mistake" were predictable.
Without any surprise, Yu Tianheng's powerful lightning dragon claw struck Dai Mubai.
"Bang!" A loud crash.
The next moment, Dai Mubai's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the floor of the Soul Arena. Centered on Dai Mubai, the floor shattered in a spiderweb pattern.
"Pfft." Lying on the ground, Dai Mubai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't used his "Third Soul Skill - White Tiger Vajra Transformation" at the last moment, he would probably be seriously injured and unconscious now, not just suffering from a few broken ribs.

"Brother Dai—" Ma Hongjun and Oscar exclaimed in shock when they saw Dai Mubai coughing up blood.
Dai Mubai struggled to his feet, waved his hand lightly, took out a recovery sausage Oscar had prepared beforehand from his pocket, swallowed it, and finally caught his breath. "I'm fine."
With the zu zong's prior instructions, Yu Tianheng didn't try to take credit and immediately retreated behind the Shi brothers after the fight.
The Shrek Seven Devils' first tactic of "luring the enemy in deep and severely injuring Yu Tianheng" had thus failed.
Seeing that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass hadn't worked and Dai Mubai was injured, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Was it related to you just now?"
The zuzong nodded. If anyone else had asked, he would have denied it outright, but there was no need to lie to Zhu Zhuqing. He had secretly activated his Blue Silver Domain before the fight even started. As the owner of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, it was easy for the zuzong to slightly control one of Tang San's Blue Silver Grasses with his Blue Silver Domain.
The zuzong readily admitted defeat, and Zhu Zhuqing said nothing more. Her only task was to stall the zuzong according to Shrek Academy's plan. She didn't want personal feelings to interfere in this battle.
"First Soul Skill—Netherworld Thrust."
"Second Soul Skill—Netherworld Hundred Claws."
Meanwhile, while Zhu Zhuqing's side was fighting impressively, Tang San and Dai Mubai were in dire straits.
Dai Mubai was injured, greatly reducing his combat power, and Shrek Academy suddenly lost its advantage as a top-tier "power-attack type Soul Master," falling into a complete disadvantage.
With the help of the two top-tier defensive type Soul Masters, the Shi brothers, Yu Tianheng was almost fearless against the attacks of Dai Mubai, Meng Yiran, and the others. Tang San dared not easily reveal his third Soul Skill, as that move consumed too much Soul Power.
The zuzong dodged Zhu Zhuqing's two Soul Skills and, seeing that Yu Tianheng's side was almost finished, decided to subdue Zhu Zhuqing.
He released his Blue Silver Emperor Vines, which shot out from all directions, wrapping around Zhu Zhuqing.
Ma Hongjun was about to unleash "Phoenix Fire Line" to rescue her, but Tang San stopped him. A new wave of attacks from Dugu Yan's side had arrived, covering a wide area.
As for Yu Tianheng and the other two, they had already retreated to their own camp at Dugu Yan's signal.
"Third Soul Skill—Azure Phosphorous Purple Poison."
At this moment, although Qin Ming had instructed her not to go all out before the battle, since the zuzong said the opponent could counter the snake venom, Dugu Yan didn't care anymore. With a shrill cry, her third soul ring suddenly shone brightly. Her
originally emerald green eyes turned completely purple, and even the emerald scales on her snake tail were covered with a layer of pale purple light. She opened her mouth and spewed out a thick purple mist, which rapidly spread through the air, surging towards the Shrek Seven Devils' location.
At the same time, Dugu Yan also threw a purple iron pellet.
In the Shrek Seven Devils' camp, Tang San smiled, finally getting his wish after so long – Dugu Yan's snake venom. Although the first tactical step failed, as long as they broke through the opponent's snake venom, they could unleash their full potential and implement subsequent tactics.
Just like in the original story, Tang San threw out two large leather pouches filled with realgar wine. Dai Mubai used "White Tiger Blazing Light Wave" to blast the pouches into mist, and Ma Hongjun finished them off with Phoenix Fire Line, igniting the realgar wine. Everything went smoothly, and even the "Azure Phosphorus Purple Poison" was successfully infused with the realgar wine mist and ignited.
"Your snake venom is nothing special. If it were Azure Phosphorus Five Poisons...
" Before he could finish his boastful words, Tang San felt dizzy, and his vision began to blur.
