Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 91 No, I'm not reconciled!
[Five updates a day... Oh my god! Without everyone's subscriptions and monthly tickets, watashi~]

"How about... we admit defeat?" Beibei looked at everyone and said with difficulty, "We can't win. This is the strongest Sun Moon team has ever been, and it just so happens to be our weakest."

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. No one can win all the time, and the same goes for our academy. The fault for this defeat does not lie with us. We have done our best."

"Give up, everyone... Don't cause any more casualties by trying to do things you can't do."

Upon hearing Beibei's words, the already oppressive atmosphere in Shrek's rest area became even more somber. Everyone was filled with confusion and loss, as helpless as a swarm of bees that had lost their queen.

Yes, we can't win.

The enormous gap stood before them, an insurmountable chasm that left them without any hope.

In the team battle just now, they were like a small sailboat in a stormy sea, unable to even go with the flow, and could only pray that they could survive Lin Nuo's seemingly endless offensive.

Facing Lin Nuo, they felt even more powerless than when facing the exploding corpses of the Grim Reaper. Even after the match was over, the overwhelming force of the Blue Silver Grass still left them with lingering fear.

Perhaps, admitting defeat is the best option?
"No way!" Ma Xiaotao, who was deep in thought, suddenly raised her head and shouted when she heard her teammates were about to give up. "Are you all just going to lose your fighting spirit like this? Don't forget, you represent Shrek Academy, you are now the Shrek Seven Devils!"

"Everyone, get your act together!"

But Ma Xiaotao's impassioned words failed to ignite their passion. Even Dai Yueheng gave a wry smile and advised Ma Xiaotao, "Forget it, Xiaotao, you really can't win."

But at this point, would Ma Xiaotao still listen to their advice?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

The suppressed fire within her has been completely unleashed, and now it's not something she can stop at will.

"I will win! I must defeat Lin Nuo from the Sun and Moon Team, use his blood to pay tribute to our comrades, step on his head, and make Shrek Academy great again!"

Not only her, but there was another person whose flame had not been extinguished either.

"Senior Sister Xiaotao is right, I will make him pay for his crimes in blood!" Xu Sanshi stood up unsteadily, his bloodshot eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Sanshi, stop messing around!" Bei Bei slammed her hand on the table, growling in a low voice, barely containing her anger. "Are you crazy? Your martial spirit is shattered! You can't even summon your martial spirit now, you can't even use your soul skills. Forget about revenge, you'll just be throwing your life away if you go up there..."

Looking at her grief-stricken best friend, Beibei felt a pang of sadness in her heart as well.

"Nannan would never want to see you like this..."

This sentence seemed to have precisely hit Xu Sanshi's weakness, calming his hysterical emotions down somewhat.

"But I'm not reconciled..." Xu Sanshi clenched his fists tightly. Lin Nuo was undoubtedly the enemy who killed his wife. Even if he only had one breath left, he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from the other party.

"Who could accept that?" Beibei smiled bitterly.

His words expressed the sentiments of everyone present. Standing on the field, carrying the weight of Shrek Academy's millennia-long honor and glory, they were just one step away from the championship. Giving up at this point would be something none of them wanted to do. However, they were also more rational, knowing that the situation was hopeless and that continuing to fight would be pointless.

“If you won’t fight, I will!” Ma Xiaotao turned around and faced the direction of the Sun and Moon team’s rest area, and said in a cold tone, “In the previous team battle, I was just caught in the opponent’s rhythm and needed to expand the range of the flames to protect you, so I couldn’t break through his Blue Silver Grass.”

"But the next match is one-on-one, and I have no reservations. With my full power, I refuse to believe that his Blue Silver Grass can really withstand my Phoenix Flame!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a scorching wave of energy suddenly erupted from her body, and a silent, piercingly shrieking, purplish-red phoenix phantom appeared and disappeared behind her.

Her fighting spirit has been completely ignited!
"Then let Xiao Tao give it a try." In the end, Xuan Zi made the final decision. He put down the wine pot and looked at Ma Xiao Tao seriously.

"Xiao Tao, you are in the best condition. I can tell that the Blue Silver Grass kid on the other side just now must have consumed a lot of energy on the stage. That level of Blue Silver Grass Frenzy would definitely require a Soul Emperor to expend a lot of soul power to unleash. He might not even be in the same condition as you right now."

"You are the only one who can pose a threat to him. If we can eliminate him, we will have a chance to win the individual battle, and we also have a chance to drag it to a third match and defeat the Sun and Moon Team in a 2-2-3 format!"

"Now... everything depends on you!"

"Don't worry, Elder Xuan, I will definitely bring back the hope of victory!" Ma Xiaotao walked proudly toward the players' passage with her head held high.

She didn't give anyone a chance to dissuade her, because she was Ma Xiaotao, a proud phoenix soaring through the heavens!
Of course, she didn't give the others a chance to persuade her, and the others didn't really mean to persuade her. Her conversation with Xuanzi did give the other team members some renewed confidence.

Yes, Lin Nuo, who just displayed great prowess in the team battle last time, how much soul power does he still have left to use?

They didn't believe that Lin Nuo, who created an entire ocean of Blue Silver Grass, would have no energy depletion whatsoever. Just as Elder Xuan said, Lin Nuo's current condition might not even be as good as Ma Xiaotao's.

In addition, with the elemental advantage relationship and the one-on-one combat, Ma Xiaotao can go all out without any scruples. Lin Nuo's Blue Silver Grass will definitely not be a match for the Evil Fire Phoenix!
Most importantly, Ma Xiaotao's cultivation level was high enough and her strength was strong enough. They didn't believe that Lin Nuo could even kill Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Emperor, so they stopped trying to dissuade him.

Anyway, she won't die; Ma Xiaotao, with her superior attributes, will at most suffer some injuries.

Let her try if she wants. If she wins, it proves that Lin Nuo is not invincible, and they won't mind giving it another shot. If she loses, she probably won't have any more excuses to be unwilling to accept defeat, so they might as well just admit defeat and go home.

After all, she's the team captain for this competition, so let her make a fuss if she wants.

Of course, more importantly...

Several people glanced at Xuanzi, who was drinking and eating meat, out of the corner of their eyes, but only for a moment before looking away and remaining silent.

You have to understand them all.

The half-hour break ended quickly, and the dilapidated ring underwent some simple repairs during that time, enough to allow the match to continue.

"Finals, Shrek Academy vs. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the second individual match—"

"It's about to begin!"
