Chapter 16: Blue Silver Shadow Kill Bind and Profound Net Soul-Lock BindUpon hearing who their opponent was this time, Tang San and his companions couldn't help but look at each other with strange expressions.After a brief moment of surprise, the surrounding audience once again erupted into murmurs and low chuckles, after all, Shrek Academy's team uniforms were far too "eye-catching."Among the Shrek group, the fatty Ma Hongjun started rubbing his hands together eagerly and said to Tang San with barely contained excitement:"Third Brother, let me fight! I'll teach those arrogant jerks with their noses in the air a good lesson!"Tang San, however, glared at him, his tone leaving no room for argument:"We proceed according to the original plan. No need for you to argue."Tai Long patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder at this point, consoling him in a deep, rumbling voice, "Fatty, listen to the Young Master's arrangements."Dai Mubai also turned his gaze to Tang San, directly handing over the on-the-spot command of this battle: "Little San, you take charge of the arrangements."Soon, Tang San confirmed the combatants: "Dai Mubai, me, Xiao Wu, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Jiang Zhu, Tai Long. The seven of us will go."As Tang San quickly finished outlining the brief battle plan, Dai Mubai clapped his hands together, a fierce glint flashing in his evil eyes as a ferocious grin curled his lips:"That's right! We only need one minute!"He had clearly been bottling up a bellyful of anger from all the previous mockery and was ready to unleash it all on their opponents.The observing Tang San, from the group's conversation and emotions, understood that it seemed there was some prior conflict between them and this match's opponent, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team Two."As the group took to the stage, they saw the opposing Royal Academy Team Two make an extremely flashy entrance.Dai Mubai let out a cold laugh at this moment, suppressing the group's restlessness: "Let's go, it's our turn to take the stage."Afterwards, as the members of both teams stood facing each other on the arena, exchanging some choice trash talk, the referee's powerful voice rang out:"Both sides, salute! Non-participants, leave the arena!"In the end, both sides could only reluctantly and perfunctorily bend at the waist in a symbolic salute towards each other."Prepare to begin the match! Both sides may release your Spirits.As soon as the referee's voice fell, Dai Mubai was the first to roar, "Brothers, release Spirits! White Tiger, Possess!"When both sides simultaneously released their Spirits and all their spirit rings appeared before the eyes of the audience, a huge wave of astonished exclamations instantly spread through the spectator stands like a tide!Setting aside the other six for a moment, while the optimal spirit ring configuration and Dai Mubai's standard Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple were impressive, what most shocked and even horrified the entire audience, as well as the observing Tang San,were the four spirit rings on Tang San, standing at the team's core position: two Yellow, one Purple, and one Black!Especially that fourth one, deep as ink, seemingly capable of devouring light—a Ten Thousand Year spirit ring!"A Ten Thousand Year fourth ring?!"The observing Tang San was also profoundly shaken, filled with disbelief,"I... my future fourth spirit ring is actually Ten Thousand Year?!"He never expected that, under Senior Fu Shiyan's guidance, his future self would actually be able to possess a Ten Thousand Year fourth ring that surpassed the limit, just like Senior Fu Shiyan himself!After all, according to the theory he learned from Teacher Yu Xiaogang in his last simulation—a theory considered common knowledge in the Spirit Master world—the highest absorption limit for a fourth spirit ring was only around five thousand years, absolutely impossible to reach the ten-thousand-year level!Regardless of how shocked everyone and the observing Tang San were, the battle still began according to procedure!"Charge!"With Tang San's concise and forceful low shout, the seven people in Shrek's formation had already launched their attack like arrows released from a bow!The battle erupted instantly!Dai Mubai, Tai Long, Huang Yuan—several Assault-type Spirit Masters took the lead in launching a fierce offensive!Dai Mubai, whose spirit power had reached level forty-four, didn't even hold back in the rear; he led the charge from the front! Facing opponents clearly inferior to them, Shrek's attacks were exceptionally fierce!First, Dai Mubai directly activated his third spirit ring skill—"White Tiger Vajra Transformation"!His body swelled, his aura skyrocketed!Tai Long was even simpler and more brutal. The first and third spirit rings on his body simultaneously flashed bright, his body instantly expanding, muscles bulging, transforming into a powerful "giant ape"!Huang Yuan's third Spirit Ability—Heavenly Wolf Transformation—was also instantly used, drastically increasing his speed and attack power!Three Assault-type Spirit Masters, like three sharp blades, instantly pierced into the opponent's formation!Simultaneously, that heart-stopping black light shimmered around Tang San's body.He didn't even give the opponent's Control-type Spirit Master a chance to interfere. The terrifying Spirit Ability from his Ten Thousand Year spirit ring—Blue Silver Shadow Kill Bind—had already been activated!Over a hundred strands of Blue Silver Grass, shimmering with a dark blue light, more resilient and thicker, surged wildly and without warning from the hard arena floor like living shadow vipers!Almost in the blink of an eye, they formed a giant cage, trapping all seven members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team Two within!The incredibly tough Blue Silver vines, like tempered steel chains, instantly bound the bodies, hands, and feet of all seven!The seven bound individuals struggled desperately, unleashing their spirit power, only to discover in horror that they were completely immobilized!Then, accompanied by Dai Mubai's furious roar:"White Tiger Meteor Shower!"All the black tiger stripes on his formidable body turned into dazzling, eye-catching gold. Then, centered on his body, countless fist-sized golden light spheres instantly condensed and, like a meteor shower, blasted towards the seven opponents firmly bound by the Blue Silver Grass!Tai Long, seizing the opportunity as an opponent in front of him struggled futilely within the Blue Silver Grass, roared, lifted him high into the air, and slammed him heavily onto the ground!Huang Yuan treated the opponent before him like a punching bag, unleashing a storm of fist and foot attacks!Xiao Wu and Jing Ling's figures also weaved through the battlefield, delivering precise finishing blows, thoroughly clearing out those opponents trying to break free or already dazed by the main attacks.Jiang Zhu, in the rear, timely waved her healing scepter, sprinkling faint healing light. Although healing was hardly needed this battle, she still performed her duty diligently.Dai Mubai's "White Tiger Meteor Shower" erupted, countless golden spheres bombarding the immobilized opponents like a torrential downpour;Tai Long roared, lifting and slamming his opponent;The figures of Huang Yuan, Xiao Wu, and Jing Ling darted across the battlefield, a storm of attacks pouring down.However, just as the outcome seemed beyond doubt, Tang San's offensive did not stop.He abruptly brought his palms together, an even more vast torrent of Mysterious Heaven Skill spirit power pouring into the arena floor."Blue Silver—Profound Net Soul-Lock Bind!!"As the words fell, the next moment, a scene that left the entire audience dumbstruck occurred.From the hard arena floor, countless giant wooden hands woven from Blue Silver Grass erupted from the ground without any warning!These giant hands seemed to share Tang San's will, like extensions of his own limbs, appearing arbitrarily from any angle, any direction, accurately grabbing at those already battered opponents.The members of Heaven Dou Team Two had no way to predict where these bizarre arms would strike from. The moment they dodged an attack from the left, their right ankle was already firmly locked by another wooden hand emerging from the ground;Attempting to leap up to escape, a new giant palm descended upon them from above.This elusive, effortless attack method completely shattered their last remnants of formation and fighting spirit. In the end, they could only be subdued one by one in despair, defeated without a shred of suspense.The entire Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, after a brief deathly silence, erupted into the most intense uproar of the tournament so far, a mixture of shock and disbelief!Shrek Academy declared their strength with a crushing victory that took less than a minute.At this moment, the observing Tang San was also left gaping in shock by this set of combination skills and that inconceivable self-created Spirit Ability of his own!(Next up is the plot prediction segment. You can share your predictions for the upcoming plot in the comments. Of course, once we find the real prophet, we must definitely... eliminate them! （๑⃙⃘´༥`๑⃙⃘)𐂐）
