Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 157 Tang San's Shameless Scheme

As the hosts watched Tianshui Academy and Shrek Academy enter one after the other, they announced in a high-spirited voice,

"Losers' Bracket Final: Tianshui Academy vs. Shrek Academy, the match is now beginning."

"Brothers, activate your Martial Souls!"

At Dai Mubai's command, the entire Shrek team revealed their martial souls and spirit rings. In addition, each of the seven held a broken fragment of the Eight Spider Lances spirit bone. Tang San, however, held even more fragments—a total of six.

Indeed, in the previous match between Shrek Academy and Spirit Hall Academy, Shrek Academy, facing a difficult battle, relied heavily on Tang San to turn the tide. Utilizing the Eight Spider Lances spirit bone severed by the demon, they ultimately reversed the difference in spirit power and won the match.

Today, Tang San is repeating his old trick, using fragments of the Eight Spider Lances soul bone as weapons to further enhance the Shrek Seven Devils' combat power. Only in this way can they possibly defeat Tianshui Academy.

Soul bones, as part of a soul master's strength, are different from external equipment such as hidden weapons, soul tools, and other weapons that are prohibited in the soul master competition. They can be used in the soul master competition.

Moreover, ever since witnessing the extreme suppression of the Eight Spider Lances spirit bone against the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Tang San has become increasingly fond of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's poison. Using it against the Tianshui Academy team today is quite a good idea.

Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er, who had also summoned her martial soul and assumed a defensive stance, warily watched the Eight Spider Lances soul bones in the hands of Tang San and his companions.

"Sisters, Tang San is really disregarding the rules of spirit duels, which are supposed to end when the point is reached, in order to win. He's even using his Eight Spider Lances spirit bone against us."

"We must be careful in this battle and not let Tang San succeed."

"Sister Bing'er, we won't let them succeed."

Behind them, Shuiyue'er, Yu Hairou, and the others spoke in unison, their spirits high.

The next second, Tang San immediately released his first soul skill, Entanglement, and countless Blue Silver Grass vines rushed towards Shui Bing'er and Yu Hairou at the same time.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal."

Shui Bing'er reacted very quickly, and countless ice spikes pierced the Blue Silver Grass vines with perfect precision. In an instant, Tang San's first soul skill was easily neutralized. As the freezing skill was used, the entire Soul Arena quickly froze, and the temperature dropped sharply.

"Your opponent is me."

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line."

Ma Hongjun immediately unleashed a series of extremely hot phoenix flames towards the ice wall, which was forty to fifty centimeters high and had been frozen in front of him.

Unlike the first time the two teams clashed, when he unleashed a raging inferno, Ma Hongjun's flames this time were merely scorching heat, failing to penetrate the Ice Sealing Soul Skill beneath the Extreme Ice Enhancement.

"No, that's impossible. No matter how powerful Shui Bing'er's soul skill is, it's impossible for her to use ice to suppress my fire. It must be that her flames aren't strong enough."

Ma Hongjun's cheeks bulged violently, his buttocks clenched, and his whole body tensed up like never before.

"flutter--"

As his cheeks flushed even more, the intensity of Ma Hongjun's first soul skill's flames also increased rapidly, and many beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Fatty, let me help you."

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave."

A massive energy wave shot towards the thick ice wall, and the ice wall finally began to crack under the combined fire and single-point attack.

Seeing this, Tang San didn't hesitate at all; he immediately used his third soul skill, Spider Web Binding.

The blue-silver vines burrowed through the cracks and the still-unfrozen ground, precisely pinpointing the enemy's location. They suddenly shot out from the center of the Tianshui Academy team, directly beneath Shui Bing'er.

"Third Soul Skill: Resist Ice Ring."

Shui Bing'er reacted extremely quickly, resisting the powerful soul energy fluctuations generated by the ice ring, which shattered all the offensive soul skills present, including the sudden attack of the Spider Web Binding skill.

Of course, due to the violent and explosive elimination effect of the resistance halo radiating throughout the entire field, regardless of friend or foe, the ice wall blocking the front of Tianshui Academy was also completely broken, and the two teams officially saw each other face to face.

"superior!"

Shui Yue'er immediately led Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, and Qiu Ruobing—one agility-type and two power-type Soul Masters—to rush towards Shrek Academy.

Using the icy and snowy terrain revealed by Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, they moved even faster than usual.

"First Soul Skill"

"The second soul skill."

…………

They unleashed four of their strongest soul skills in quick succession, and by the time Xiao Wu, Tai Long, and Ma Hongjun, positioned on the flanks of the team, realized their attack, it was already too late.

They quickly unleashed their soul skills to forcefully resist the attack from the four girls from Tianshui Academy. However, apart from Xiao Wu using her third soul skill to teleport away and successfully slashing Shen Liuyu's left upper arm with a fragment of the Eight Spider Spear, the other two suffered considerable injuries.

"Jadeite—"

The girls saw that Shen Liuyu had collapsed from poisoning and screamed hysterically.

"First Soul Skill: Super Recovery Sausage"

Oscar produced three sausages in succession and then cleverly tossed them to Xiao Wu and her two companions.

"Thanks, Xiao Ao."

The three of them swallowed the recovery sausage in one gulp, and their injuries and soul power recovered considerably.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Phoenix Split Ring Strike."

Shui Bing'er's body was covered with a layer of ice ring armor, and an ice crystal phoenix energy body rushed towards Oscar behind Tang San.

"Little Ao".

Tang San, who was at the core of the team, immediately saw Shui Bing'er's attack direction and said to Ning Rongrong with concern.

"Don't worry about me, mistress."

"Third Soul Skill, Fantasy Mushroom Sausage."

Oscar immediately swallowed a large yellow sausage, and a pair of blue wings sprouted from his back. He quickly grabbed Ning Rongrong beside him and flew into the air.

Tang San's heart, which had been clenched with anxiety, finally eased considerably. He then immediately unleashed his fourth soul skill.

"Blue Silver Thrust Formation".

This soul skill is a transformation of the Blue Silver Cage, further developed from existing techniques. Numerous Blue Silver Grasses, like thick, sharp iron rods, rise from the ground behind Shui Bing'er's formation, multiplying like a triangular pyramid.

Seeing that Xue Wu was about to be killed by the Blue Silver Spike Array, Shui Bing'er immediately used her Ice Sealing Soul Skill.

While increasing the input of soul power, the speed of the first soul skill, Ice Seal, was also gradually increasing. Only when the entire Blue Silver Spike Array was transformed into an Ice Spike Array was the most important vice-captain of their Tianshui Academy team saved.

However, at that moment, Tang San revealed a smug smile. He quickly withdrew the effect of the Blue Silver Spike Array, and a large number of ice crystals attached to the Blue Silver Grass rapidly fell off and hurtled towards Xue Wu. Although the ice crystal fragments were small, there were a great many of them.

Before Shui Bing'er could stop the falling ice crystals,
