Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 480 The Golden Generation

While everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and the Spirit Hall was in chaos, time continued to relentlessly march forward. The second stage of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, which many had been eagerly anticipating, began within the Spirit Hall, with the two teams, seen as extensions of their respective forces, entering the arena.

The first battle was a team fight, with the Spirit Hall team and the Blue Tyrant Academy team entering the arena and setting up their formations, both sides ready for battle. Although this was not the real final battle, almost everyone subconsciously believed that this battle would be the true final showdown of the tournament.

As the core member of the team, Hu Liena looked at the leader of the Blue Tyrant Academy team with a pointed brow, her brows furrowing into a deep frown.

Although she usually tries to emulate her teacher by remaining calm and collected, after experiencing Tang San's almost undisguised bloodlust up close, she couldn't maintain her usual nonchalant demeanor.

In Hu Liena's upbringing, Fallen Ones were considered the most deserving of death in the world. Based on her past teachings and her experience in pursuing Fallen Ones, Hu Liena was quite certain that Tang San in front of her had absolutely sacrificed a great deal of blood and lives to cultivate to this level.

Considering that his previous strength was only that of a Soul Master, but he had suddenly become a Soul King, Hu Liena's gaze towards Tang San turned to disgust, her coldness and disdain undisguised. She didn't even want to feign a friendly expression.

Even Yan, who usually liked to act silly next to Hu Liena to get her attention, did not show his usual unreliability at this moment. Instead, he looked at Tang San with the same disgust as his other teammates, as if he were looking at trash.

Facing the enemy's hateful gaze, Tang San not only didn't care at all, but even became somewhat arrogant. His Soul King-level Soul Power was revealed, and the bloody aura even caused the students of Yuanlan Ba ​​Academy to subconsciously take a step back.

"The more the enemy opposes me, the more right I am. If the enemy supports me, then I have done something that even the enemy must admire!"

With a proud attitude, Tang San began to mock the group without any mercy.

"You lackeys of the Spirit Hall, although killing is not allowed on the field, you should still be careful that I crush all the bones in your bodies."

Tang San's body trembled with excitement, his breathing gradually became rapid, and the external soul bone attached to his dog lungs became active without him realizing it, making him feel as if there was endless power in his body.

Hearing Tang San's insulting words, Salas, the former Platinum Bishop of the Heaven Dou Empire who was in charge of the refereeing, couldn't help but glare at Tang San. Then, he gave the Golden Generation a look that hinted they should teach the other party a lesson before stepping back and leaving.

"Game start!"

With a signal to begin, the two sides immediately launched their first round of clashes.

Dai Mubai unleashed his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, grinning savagely as he pounced on Hu Liena, eager to tear her beautiful face apart with his claws. Yu Tianheng gritted his dentures, roared, and charged towards Yan, enveloped in lightning. The others then went to confront their respective opponents.

Tang San's team consists of seven people: Tang San, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Yu Tianheng, Tai Long, Jiang Zhu, and Jing Ling. Among them, only Tang San is a Soul King, and the other four are Soul Masters. Jiang Zhu and Jing Ling are Soul Venerables, who can hardly show any advantage on the battlefield and can only play a supporting role.

Because the Spirit Hall team had two support-type Soul Masters, the Spirit Hall side did not show much advantage in the first clash.

Tang San faced Xie Yue, and whether he was out of his mind or something else, he raised his hand and unleashed a Blue Silver Entangling vine. A deep purple vine, as thick as a normal person's forearm, reeking of a foul stench, lunged at Xie Yue, its black barbs gleaming eerily. But Xie Yue was completely unfazed, raising his hand to unleash the same first soul skill: "Slash!"

The moon blades in Xie Yue's hands shone with a cold, bright light, like crescent moons, transforming into two slashes made of soul power. Although the two were evenly matched, due to factors such as soul rings, the light slashes formed by the moon blades easily tore through Tang San's blue silver entanglement and slashed towards Tang San.

Tang San dodged away using the Ghost Shadow Steps, and then, unwilling to give up, activated his fourth soul skill, Infiltrating Entanglement, which was almost identical to his first soul skill. The vines, even stronger and more resilient than before, once again tried to entangle Xie Yue, but Xie Yue skillfully dodged them and then, in a few swift movements, sliced ​​them off.

In the midst of the outburst, the Moon Blade's sharpness seemed even greater than before, to the point that Xie Yue could even slash at Tang San while cutting through the vines.

Under the gaze of the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San noticed a strange light emanating from Xie Yue's right arm, seemingly a manifestation of an enhanced soul bone skill being activated. Upon considering this possibility, a sense of greed unconsciously arose in Tang San's heart.

His original personality was extremely eccentric; at the age of nine, he was able to steal the Tang Sect's secret Xuan Tian Treasure Record. Now, having become addicted to the evil path, he subconsciously craves anything that might potentially enhance his strength. His greed has surpassed even his original level.

Although Tang San didn't have much rationality left in his mind, he still had some. Despite having his eye on the unknown soul bone in Xie Yue's right arm, he didn't hesitate to take action.

"Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Poison Sting".

Tang San shouted, and the barbs on the Blue Silver Grass instantly expanded, turning into visible barbs. The vines whipped towards Xie Yue like whips, seemingly trying to tear a piece of flesh from Xie Yue's body.

Although Xie Yue despised Tang San's cultivation method and believed he could defeat this mutated Blue Silver Grass, his long-term training prevented him from underestimating his opponent in the slightest. Instead, he cautiously used his third soul skill to deal with the situation.

With the two moon blades joined together in front of his chest, Xie Yue suddenly spun around, tearing Tang San's Blue Silver Grass apart like a spinning top. However, Xie Yue's soul power was not as strong as Tang San's, and in an offensive-defensive situation, he was bound to have some flaws.

Despite his best efforts to resist, Xie Yue's skin was still scratched by the fragments produced by the pulverized Evil Blue Silver Grass, which immediately pierced into his body with mixed poison.

As Tang San released his second soul skill, Parasitism, the fragments that had pierced his body immediately began to grow inside Xie Yue's body. Xie Yue decisively and without changing his expression, flicked his moon blade, using the sharpness formed by his soul power to slice off a large chunk of flesh nearby, and then withdrew and retreated explosively.

The corrosive power of evil, bloody, and dark toxins is extremely strong for ordinary Soul Masters. As a weapon-type Soul Master, Xie Yue is inherently physically inferior to Soul Masters with beast-type Souls.

Despite possessing the cultivation level of a Soul King, Xie Yue found it difficult to use his power to expel the poison from his body. This poison was like a greedy, human-faced spider, piercing his body with its eight long legs, which were covered in barbs and venom, while simultaneously sucking his blood with its mouthparts.

As a support-type Soul Master, Xu Ning raised his golden scepter spirit, and his first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously. Two beams of light surged into Xie Yue's body, restoring Xie Yue's body while attempting to neutralize Xie Yue's deadly poison.

However, because Tang San's poison contained too many blasphemous substances, even a support-type Soul Master with a top-tier weapon spirit could only weaken it as much as possible, and could not undo it immediately.
