Douluo Continent: The Spirit A Yin, a Master of Both Bow and Sword

Chapter 177 The Sudden Fire

Countless sharp gazes pierced Tang San. Tang San was panting heavily, his eyes trembling. He looked at Feng Xiaotian, who had a serious expression, with a blank look in his eyes, and hated this guy to the core.

"Feng Xiaotian, you've chosen a path to your death!"

Tang San roared inwardly, really wanting to just walk away as the organizing committee members were about to approach him.

If the secret that Blue Silver Grass can absorb blood is exposed, not only will Shrek Academy be disqualified from the competition, but Shrek Academy itself will also be affected.

Tang San was not afraid of the Heaven Dou Empire because his father was nearby. He was certain that even if his secret was discovered, his father would do everything in his power to take him away from the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Third party! A clear conscience fears no accusation. Students of Shrek Academy must stand tall and face external criticism with courage!"

Flanders shouted passionately from behind.

"Go for it, bro!"

"Don't be afraid, my brother, you mistress!"

"..."

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and other brothers were also cheering them on. They believed that Tang San was innocent and that Feng Xiaotian was using this as an excuse to cause trouble for Shrek Academy.

Tang San was deeply moved and felt relieved, but the truth was indeed as Feng Xiaotian said: his Blue Silver Grass could indeed grow stronger by absorbing blood, which was an indisputable fact.

"Tang San! I believe in you!"

Tang San looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Ye Ping'an calling out.

Wait, what's with that intriguing smile on your face?

"Thanks."

Tang San could only suppress his anger and thank him, as the grudge between him and Ye Ping'an could not be resolved overnight.

If a conflict were to break out at this point, it would undoubtedly serve as evidence of delaying the situation.

With no way to avoid it now, Tang San had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the investigation. He took a deep breath, and five spirit rings lit up beneath his feet, while Dark Blue Silver Grass appeared in his right palm.

The organizing committee's investigators stepped forward and, after collecting Feng Xiaotian's blood, the blood rained down from the sky under the tense gaze of everyone present.

Tang San's face turned bright red. His Blue Silver Grass craved blood because it hadn't eaten for a long time and was about to collapse.

Seeing the blood slid down from the sky, the Blue Silver Grass was eager to try. Its dark, purplish stems and leaves swayed slightly, and just when everything was going smoothly...

"Fire!"

"Help! Someone, put out the fire!"

Thick smoke drifted from the sky not far away, and the air was filled with the smell of burning, mixed with the crackling sound of burning matches, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Emperor Xueye, displeased, looked in the direction of the sound and angrily demanded, "What's all this commotion?"

Just then, a disheveled soldier knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, a fire has broken out at the Royal Hunting Grounds. The fire is spreading rapidly, and many academy tents have been affected. The Royal Knights are doing their utmost to extinguish it!"

"How could such a fire suddenly occur? Extinguish it immediately! Do not disrupt the game!"

"yes!"

The soldiers quickly ran back to participate in the subsequent firefighting operations.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the "sudden" fire, Tang San slightly moved his right palm, and Feng Xiaotian's blood dripped to the ground, where it was quickly absorbed by the dark blue silver grass seedlings that sprouted from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Tang San bit his tongue, spat out blood, and it landed precisely on the Dark Blue Silver Grass.

Ye Tianxing saw all of these little actions.

Everyone else was drawn to the sudden fire, but Ye Tianxing knew very well that the fire was strange. Why did it happen at such a convenient time to test whether Tang San's Dark Blue Silver Grass had the ability to devour blood?

To draw everyone's attention, giving Tang San ample time to switch Feng Xiaotian's blood.

The organizing committee investigators, including Feng Xiaotian, turned around and saw a drop of blood lying calmly on the black blue silver grass.

Like morning dew, Tang San's right hand swayed back and forth, but the blood droplets, apart from rolling, did not change at all.

With the crisis resolved, Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before leaving, Feng Xiaotian stepped off the stage and said softly, "Tang San, my eyes don't lie. You must have done something just now."

"Brother Feng, I lost this match. I've already proven my point with my actions, and now you're raising questions again? Do you really think Shrek Academy is easy to bully?"

Behind Tang San stood Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and others, each of their gazes exuding immense pressure.

Originally, there were complaints about losing the match, but unexpectedly, Feng Xiaotian became even more lawless, daring to question whether there was a problem with Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. Now that it has been confirmed that there is no problem with Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, this guy has become even more outrageous.

"Feng Xiaotian, don't go too far!" Dai Mubai snorted coldly, his hands clenched tightly, looking like he was about to hit him.

"Tang San, you know perfectly well whether there's something wrong with your Blue Silver Grass."

After saying this, Feng Xiaotian left.

He was unwilling to clash with Shrek Academy, an academy destined to be infamous for eternity, all because of Yu Xiaogang.

"How absurd!" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, utterly speechless at Feng Xiaotian.

The latest novel is first published here!

After the commotion subsided, the competition resumed. The fire that started in the tent area outside was effectively extinguished, and Royal Knights soldiers were clearing the scene and searching for the source of the fire.

Inside the passageway leading away from the competition venue, a group of Shrek Academy students, led by Tang San and Dai Mubai, remained silent.

So much has happened to them in the last two days; it's all so confusing.

Tang San frowned, feeling that the fire was burning inexplicably.

"If this fire hadn't come just in time, I probably wouldn't be here laughing and joking."

As Tang San escaped danger, he couldn't help but think of the "Slaughter City" that Ning Fengzhi had mentioned.

It was said that people like himself were imprisoned and could never come out, which aroused Tang San's curiosity.

Someone like me must have a very pleasant way of speaking. I'll ask Dean Flander and the others about it when I get back.

"That Tang San is definitely suspicious! This fire was particularly chaotic and disorganized; I suspect someone is behind it!"

On the way back, Feng Xiaotian kept agonizing over this question.

"Feng Xiaotian, you've been talking the whole way here. Aren't you tired of it? I'm tired of it!" Huo Wu shook her head, signaling Feng Xiaotian to stop talking.

"Fire Dance, what you promised me..."

Feng Xiaotian finally remembered the promise he received from Huo Wu before going onto the arena, and immediately put Tang San's question out of his mind, focusing only on winning the beauty's heart.

"The match just now doesn't count. If Tang San hadn't been careless, you would have lost."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian became anxious: "How can this not count? Sister Huowu, you must be joking!"

"If you really like me, unless..."

"Unless what?" Feng Xiaotian held his breath.

"Ye Ping'an can take on all seven Shrek Academy members in one go. Unless he does it, you can only dream about it."

Huo Wu left, and left very decisively. In her opinion, the fire was indeed inexplicable, and based on her understanding of Feng Xiaotian, he couldn't possibly be lying.

To verify whether Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was indeed problematic, a powerful opponent was needed. Ye Ping'an, who possessed a 100,000-year soul ring, naturally became the target for testing Tang San.

It would be inconvenient for her to bring it up rashly, so let Feng Xiaotian take on this glorious and arduous task.

After all, she had already promised him, so it wouldn't be good to go back on her word.
