Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

"Normal deployment?"

Flander frowned slightly: "That Blazing Academy is not easy to deal with. Do you intend to give up this match?"

Chen Luo's lips curled up slightly: "Boss Fu, it seems you've been focusing too much on making money lately. Have you already forgotten where Tang San came back from?"

Upon hearing this, Flander grinned and said, "That's right, I almost forgot about that. Well then, I'll do as you say!"

Chen Luo said, "I'll make the arrangements."

“Okay.” Flander nodded, his smile becoming confident, as if he could already see victory coming.

Chen Luo arrived at the rest area and calmly said, "Next battle, Blazing Fire Academy, the normal lineup from the preliminaries is fine."

"it is good!"

Dai Mubai and the others nodded confidently, but their gazes also fell on Tang San.

Dai Mubai laughed and said, "Brother, we're counting on you later!"

Tang San nodded: "Don't worry, Boss Dai, victory will surely belong to Shrek Academy!"

Soon, the match between Shrek Academy and Blazing Academy began.

Under Chen Luo's watchful gaze, Tang San and his group stepped onto the competition stage.

Liu Erlong arrived late: "Has the competition already started?"

Chen Luo said, "You just entered the venue, why are you only arriving now?"

Liu Erlong said, "I went to buy some wine for you and Boss Fu. Didn't Boss Fu used to like strong wine? Why is he drinking sake now?"

Chen Luo said, "People change."

Liu Erlong's gaze suddenly changed subtly, and Chen Luo immediately changed his tune, saying in a greasy tone, "But my feelings for you will not change."

Liu Erlong then skipped over that topic and looked at the competition stage, saying with some surprise, "The opponent this time is actually Blazing Fire Academy? It seems that the little monsters' training during this period will pay off."

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Once they win this match, have Flander treat us to an extra meal to reward us properly!"

Liu Erlong nodded: "Of course, I was a sparring partner for several days after all!"

The two exchanged a smile; the so-called treat was just a joke.

Liu Erlong's gaze swept across the competition stage, passing over all the contestants before finally settling on Tang San. She exclaimed, "A fire-resistant grass, this is truly the first time I've ever seen one!"

Chapter 177 Another easy victory

On the competition stage, the seven students from Shrek Academy and the seven students from Blazing Fire Academy faced each other, both with confident smiles on their faces, as if they were saying, "We've got this match in the bag."

There wasn't a single word of pre-match taunting, but the atmosphere on the competition stage was still incredibly tense.

"Game start!"

At the referee's command, all fourteen contestants on the stage simultaneously activated their martial spirits and began to move.

Chen Luo's gaze followed the actions of the contestants, and his gaze first fell on Dai Mubai.

After activating his martial soul, Dai Mubai first clashed with Huo Wushuang, the captain of Blazing Academy, whose martial soul was a unicorn fire tyrannosaur. The two exchanged blows, and Huo Wushuang was forced back by Dai Mubai's powerful force. The flames attached to Huo Wushuang's fist also left a charred mark on Dai Mubai's fist.

Dai Mubai's soul power level is level 45, while Huo Wushuang's is only level 42. Given that their martial soul levels are not much different, Dai Mubai still has the advantage in soul power level.

"If it were just a one-on-one fight, Huo Wushuang probably wouldn't be a match for Dai Mubai."

Chen Luo's gaze then fell on the other side, where Tai Long and Huang Yuan were fighting against Huo Lie, whose martial soul was a fire leopard.

It goes without saying that Huo Lie was completely overwhelmed in a two-on-one situation.

Looking at the others, Xiao Wu and Jing Ling were fighting against two Fire Crane Soul Masters from Blazing Fire Academy, and it was difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

At this moment, Huo Wu, a control-type Soul Master from Blazing Academy, made her move. Her third Soul Ring lit up, and a dazzling ring of flames instantly erupted, spreading to the Shrek Seven Devils and forcibly breaking up Dai Mubai and the others' formation.

Tang San, who was originally in the middle of the group, was exposed. On the other hand, Huo Wushuang and his three companions from the Blazing Fire Academy, who were responsible for the attack, had already assembled and rushed towards Tang San at top speed.

Upon witnessing this scene, the audience gasped in surprise, then fell into a deathly silence, while Chen Luo remained remarkably calm.

"As expected, it's the same old tactic, but unfortunately they chose the wrong target." Chen Luo's lips curled up slightly.

Tang San looked at the four people rushing towards him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. At this moment, his second spirit ring lit up.

"parasitic!!!"

Countless Blue Silver Grasses suddenly burst forth from the four members of Blazing Fire Academy. At the same time, Tang San also extended his Blue Silver Grasses to further control them.

Huo Wushuang and the others laughed, and after a moment of silence, the audience also laughed.

Trying to wrap fire with grass? Isn't that ridiculous?

But a few breaths later, the smiles on everyone's faces came to an abrupt end, because the grass had indeed wrapped up the fire.

The Blue Silver Grass bound Huo Wushuang and the other three people very tightly, and the Blue Silver Entanglement further restricted them. Tang San didn't even need to use the Blue Silver Cage to subdue the four of them.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and his group rushed in to provide follow-up damage. The outcome of the subsequent battle was self-evident: Huo Wushuang and his group were dealt with one after another, and the support-type soul masters behind Blazing Academy did not even have time to unleash their soul skills.

While Dai Mubai and his group were fighting, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was constantly entwined around them. It was during that brief moment of battle that the parasitic seeds fell, all part of Tang San and his group's plan.

Tang San and his group were originally waiting for the right opportunity to strike and try to eliminate the Blazing Fire Academy in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, the Blazing Fire Academy offered them the opportunity on its own initiative.

"The battle is over, and it was easier than I expected." Chen Luo smiled slightly.

With her teammates falling one after another, Huo Wu and the two support Soul Masters knew they had lost, so they didn't struggle anymore and simply chose to admit defeat.

Huo Wu's gaze remained fixed on Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, her expression showing a hint of surprise, but mostly gloom.

The audience was quiet for a moment, then erupted in chaos.

Blazing Academy, which had been on a winning streak, was actually defeated by Shrek Academy?

In particular, the Blue Silver Grass, which is fearless of flames, has refreshed their understanding!

Flanders laughed, "As expected, as expected, haha, the little monsters certainly didn't disappoint us."

"Those kids from Blazing Academy were too careless, but you can't blame them. Who would have thought that Blue Silver Grass wouldn't be afraid of fire?"

"But I estimate that when we encounter Blazing Academy again, the difficulty of winning will increase significantly."

Liu Erlong said, "So what if we meet again? With Tang San around, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Chen Luo said, "If we meet again, it will probably be during the qualifying rounds."

Flander nodded: "That's right, Blazing Academy will definitely be able to advance from the preliminaries, and so will Shrek Academy."

The competition is over, and the little monsters have returned.

Everyone had a smile on their face, especially Dai Mubai, whose smile was the most radiant.

"I really didn't expect us to win so easily. Maybe we were scared after being beaten by Dean Erlong before, so we thought these people from Blazing Fire Academy were too weak."

Tang San said, "The main problem is that they were too careless and actually gave me such a big opening."

Xiao Wu laughed and said, "Who would have thought that your Blue Silver Grass could be immune to fire!"

When Tang San activated his parasitic technique, the students from Blazing Fire Academy had enough time to react, but they were extremely confident in their own flames and also underestimated Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which is why they were completely bound by the Blue Silver Grass.

However, even if they react, Tang San will immediately reinforce the Blue Silver Cage, still not giving them any chance.

As for why Tang San didn't use the Blue Silver Cage from the beginning, it was to achieve a surprise effect. The Blue Silver Cage is not invincible, and there are still many variables after it is used. A surprise activation would achieve a better restrictive effect.

Chen Luo was quite satisfied with the performance of the little monsters in this competition; each of them performed to their expected level.

Furthermore, Tang San prioritized the team over choosing to showcase his individual talents.

If the story unfolds as it does in the book, the match between Shrek Academy and Blazing Academy would have been entirely a solo show by Tang San. He first showcased his Ghost Shadow Steps, shocking everyone, and then displayed his fire immunity ability, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

What's even more interesting is that in the book's plot, during the battle, it seems that none of the other Shrek Academy members knew that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass possessed this special ability. They only discovered it after the competition, and then it was later added that everyone knew about this ability, which was particularly inexplicable.

It has been proven that by integrating individual abilities into the team, battles can be ended much faster by relying on the team's strength, and there is no need to do so many fancy things.

This is a seven-person competition, not a one-person competition. Since seven people can easily win the competition, there is absolutely no need to create a situation where one person turns the tide for no reason.

Is this an attempt to force a scene and desperately try to appear sophisticated?

There's really no need for that with Chen Luo. What he wants isn't Tang San's strength alone, but the strength of the entire team.

Chapter 178 As long as we win

If an individual is strong enough, they can lead the entire team to victory.

the next day.

Which academy are our opponents today?

"Canghui Academy".

In the spectator area, Chen Luo and Flander leaned back in their chairs, while Liu Erlong stood in front of them, having just retrieved Shrek Academy's match roster for today.

Liu Erlong said, "I don't quite understand why you attach so much importance to Canghui Academy, actually placing it on the same level as the Five Elements Academy. Are they qualified?"

Flander smiled slightly: "Their record is not bad, and based on my understanding of Shi Nian, Canghui Academy must still have some trump cards up its sleeve."

Chen Luo said, "Since Shi Nian disappeared, they will inevitably suspect us. In addition, they had a minor conflict with us at the beginning, so they might target us on purpose. Therefore, we must be careful."

Liu Erlong shrugged: "I feel like you guys are being a bit too cautious."

Chen Luo smiled faintly: "Being cautious is a good thing; it's the only way to secure a victory."

"Are the little monsters already making preparations?"

Liu Erlong nodded: "Yes, it's the same lineup. Tang San seems very confident about this match."

Chen Luo smiled slightly: "Of course."

Both Liu Erlong and Flander understood the hidden message in Chen Luo's words. Flander asked with some surprise, "Tang San still has a trump card?"

Chen Luo nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Just say it directly, stop beating around the bush." ​​Flander gave Chen Luo an annoyed look.

Chen Luo said, "This is his secret, and I have to keep it a secret for him."

Upon hearing this, neither Flander nor Liu Erlong inquired further.

"I'll go and give you a few more instructions."

Chen Luo got up and went to the preparation area.
