Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 279, Chapter 298: Another Defeat
The atmosphere froze, and Ning Fengzhi couldn't find any excuse to refute it.

If the Spirit Hall were to announce at this time that Tang San is a beastman, then it would be reasonable and legal for the Spirit Hall to immediately launch a manhunt for Tang San.

Ning Fengzhi wanted to protect Tang San so that he could be used as a weapon against the Spirit Hall in the future, but he couldn't find any excuse for it at the moment.

“Bishop Salas,” Yu Xiaomen spoke up at this moment, “Although your reasoning has some merit, there is currently no valid evidence to prove that Tang San is the orc from back then.”

Salas said, "If you want to produce evidence, our Spirit Hall can do so at any time."

Huo Qiqiang said, "Even if there is eventually evidence proving that Tang San is the beastman from back then, does your Spirit Hall intend to hunt that beastman on the spot?"

Salas said, "Of course, eliminating the likes of the wolf bandits is the duty of the Spirit Hall, and it's also for the long-term peace and stability of the Douluo Continent."

Huo Qiqiang said, "But this cannot violate the conventions of the Continental Soul Master Tournament. The Continental Soul Master Tournament protects the rights of every participant. Since Tang San is a participant, his rights to life and freedom need to be protected during the tournament. This tournament was organized by your Spirit Hall. Are you going to lead the way in breaking these rules?"

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly said, "Yes, the convention of the Continental Soul Master Competition stipulates that the rights and interests of the participants must be protected. Even if Tang San is that beastman, the Spirit Hall cannot hunt that beastman during the Soul Master Competition."

Salas's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ning Fengzhi, then at Huo Qiqiang and Yu Xiaomen, and then at Ning Fengzhi. His expression was as if he were saying to Ning Fengzhi: Well, well, you three sects are in cahoots.

Finally, Salas sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, as you said, we will not hunt this orc during the competition. However, if word gets out and we fail to hunt it down in time, it will bring disaster to the entire Douluo Continent in the future. You three sects will have to bear that responsibility."

Ning Fengzhi said boldly, "Bishop Salas, rest assured, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can take responsibility for this." At this moment, the three upper sects stood together as Ning Fengzhi had hoped, sharing the same goal on the same issue, which gave Ning Fengzhi the confidence to form an alliance to resist the Spirit Hall.

Tang San on the stage was completely unaware that a game of strategy concerning his fate was quietly taking place in the VIP section.

At this moment, Tang San, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, had a completely new aura, exuding an aura of dominance over the world.

Xiao Wu must be looking at me, she must be looking at me, she must be deeply attracted by my domineering figure, Tang San thought to himself.

Even without any spirit rings attached to the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San was confident that he could stand out in this competition by relying on the unique skills of the Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect.

"So you have twin martial souls! No wonder you, with your charcoal-like face, can be the captain of the Shrek Academy team." Xue Wu said with a sudden realization, "However, this alone is not enough to defeat us. Sisters, let's show them how powerful our Tianshui Academy team is."

At this moment, the Tianshui Academy team also activated their Martial Soul.

Instantly, a chill swept across Shrek Academy's side, and Tang San shivered for a moment from the cold.

It's so cold, is it just my imagination? A thought flashed through Tang San's mind.

He looked at the opposing team's lineup. The Tianshui Academy team was roughly the same as in his previous life, but the captain, Shui Bing'er, was different. Her spirit ring configuration consisted of five spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black. Her martial spirit, the Ice Phoenix, exuded a bone-chilling cold.

Soul King? How come there's another variable? How can you be a Soul King? You shouldn't be a Soul King! You're a Soul King! You deserve to die! Shui Bing'er... Thinking about how he was not as successful as in his previous life, while Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and others had successively surpassed their strength in their previous lives, Tang San couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.

Dai Mubai asked Tang San in a low voice, "Tang San, Shui Bing'er is a Soul King, what should we do?"

Tang San said in a low voice, "Let's proceed according to plan for now, test her strength, and then adapt to the situation." "Okay."

clang clang clang.
The game officially began.

"Action." Just as Tang San was about to speak, a wave of cold swept over him. Out of the corner of his eye, Tang San saw Dai Mubai frozen into an ice block to his upper left, and he also began to feel the chill creeping in. Before he could finish speaking, Tang San was frozen solid.

Feeling the bone-chilling cold emanating from his body, Tang San thought of a term from later times: ultimate ice.

Shui Bing'er instantly froze all seven members of the Shrek team with a single Ice Seal.

Tianshui Academy immediately took action, cutting into the rear and pushing the ice sculptures off one by one to eliminate them.

At this moment, cracks appeared in the ice sculptures of Dai Mubai and Tang San, and they shattered one after the other.

"It's cold, so cold!" Dai Mubai shivered from the cold.

Tang San, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, exhaled a cold breath, his eyes red with jealousy: "Ultimate Ice, you are actually Ultimate Ice, how could you be Ultimate Ice? You deserve to die!"

"Huh~" Shui Yue'er said indignantly, "Why should our Bing'er, the Ultimate Ice, die?"

Shui Bing'er also said coldly, "You black-faced rascal, while I'm in a good mood, hurry up and surrender and get off the stage."

"Surrender? Impossible." Tang San said, his eyes red and his breath coming in ragged gasps.

At this moment, Tang San also understood that the Shrek team had been eliminated so early that only Dai Mubai and he remained, and their chances of winning were extremely slim.

However, the price of losing is something Tang San cannot afford. First, he will be unable to hold his head up in front of Yu Tianheng, and Xiao Wu will also think he is an incompetent man. This label of incompetence will accompany him for a long time.

"Even if Shrek Academy is reduced to just me, even if my Clear Sky Hammer has no spirit rings, I, Tang San, will still be invincible in the entire Soul Arena!" Tang San roared loudly—

Then he swung the Haotian Hammer and began to rummage through his cloak.

However, before he could even begin to stack the ice, a sudden burst of ice covered them, freezing Dai Mubai and Tang San instantly.

This time, Dai Mubai did not break through, but Tang San struggled to break through the ice again. His eyes were red, cold air was coming out of his nostrils, and his hands, which were shivering from the cold, were still gripping the Clear Sky Hammer. He shakily piled up his messy cloak.

That posture was so comical, it was like a piece of performance art!
Shui Bing'er didn't even have time to use her Martial Soul Fusion Skill before the third layer of ice completely froze Tang San.

Once it was confirmed that Tang San had no chance of breaking free from the ice, the referee stepped forward and announced: "Shrek Academy versus Tianshui Academy, Tianshui Academy wins."
