Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Word of Power: Jun Yan

The golden eyes of lava burst into flames, and Lu Mingfei compressed the chanting of dragon patterns into a single note, instantly expanding a gray domain around Lu Mingfei.

The blue silver vines exploded with a loud, boiling sound like firecrackers the moment they spread out in the domain, and then ignited in an instant.

A red ring of fire condensed around the domain, and was instantly detonated by Lu Mingfei with a single syllable.

Just like glass breaking apart after being struck by a tremendous force, the power gathered within the ring of fire poured out all at once.

Everyone saw a bright fireball rise from the Blue Silver Forest in the center of the square, followed by a deafening explosion. The team members standing at the edge couldn't help but squint and subconsciously took a step back.

The explosion, reaching nearly a thousand degrees Celsius, shattered the entire Blue Silver Forest into fragments with overwhelming force. The circular shockwave, originating from Lu Mingfei, instantly spread outwards.

At this moment, the Blue Silver Grass Forest that had covered the entire square had vanished, leaving only spiderweb-like cracks and corona-shaped flame patterns on the ground around Lu Mingfei.

Such a powerful area explosion, yet he was able to remain completely unharmed; such precise control of power is simply breathtaking.

But before anyone could marvel at the power of Lu Mingfei's move, they all looked up at the sky.

Lu Mingfei looked up and was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but complain, "Does cheating no longer require any basic principles?"

Even the four titled Douluo couldn't help but be amazed. Tang San was hovering in the air, stabilizing himself. The high-temperature shockwave from the explosion had burned a small portion of his blue hair black.

Blue soul power surged on his right leg, and everyone could tell at a glance that it was a soul bone, and an extremely rare flying soul bone skill at that.

No one expected that Tang Yin not only possessed an external soul bone, but also a flying right leg bone. Judging from the soul power fluctuations, it was at least ten thousand years old, enough to make even a titled Douluo envious.

However, Tang San couldn't care less about the envy of those below, because his eyes were even redder than everyone else's.

"Impossible!" Tang San roared in disbelief.

He knew that Lu Mingfei had several ways to counter his Blue Silver Forest, but he never imagined that after cultivating with all his might for so long, he still couldn't even withstand a soul skill that Lu Mingfei released casually.

If it weren't for the layers of Blue Silver Grass blocking his way, and if he didn't have the Flying Soul Bone, he would probably have been knocked to the ground by that attack by now.

The gap between them is so huge!

"Pfft." Whether it was due to internal fire attacking his heart or exhaustion of his soul power, Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with his back to Lu Mingfei.

The entire Shrek Academy couldn't help but want to go and check on her. Xiao Wu's eyes were already red from crying, but Tang San stopped her, saying, "No, I can still fight!"

"Damn, are you guys acting out a romantic comedy?" Lu Mingfei was speechless. He was too embarrassed to kick someone when they were down, but he didn't see the sudden upturn of Tang San's lips as he struggled to get up from the ground.

The moment Tang San stood up and turned to Lu Mingfei, his right arm trembled violently, and his fingers seemed to disappear into thin air, turning into a phantom, with black fragments flying out in all directions.

Tang Sect's Tenth Stage: Bat Wing Reincarnation.

Tang San's smile was incredibly bright; he was mocking Lu Mingfei, mocking the fall of the continent's number one genius.

The essence of Tang Clan's hidden weapons lies in the word "hidden".

How could he not know that his Blue Silver Forest was utterly vulnerable in front of Lu Mingfei?

From the initial use of the Blue Silver Forest to exhaust his soul power, to the internal injuries and fall to the ground just now, and even Xiao Wu's tears, everything was carefully laid out for this moment.

He had deliberately mutilated himself last night, and only broke the Eight Spider Spears into pieces when they fell to the ground just now.

The Batwing Reincarnation technique is considered the pinnacle of Tang Clan hidden weapon techniques. Coupled with his recent series of disguises, not only Lu Mingfei, but even a Soul Douluo like Liu Erlong would be caught off guard.

The poison on his Eight Spider Spears was something I absorbed late at night. It was a specially mixed poison concocted from poisons obtained from Dugu Bo. Its lethality was secondary; the most crucial aspect was that this poison was a deadly venom specifically targeting the eyes.

In today's battle, he not only wants to settle all grudges, but also to completely eliminate Lu Mingfei, this future threat.

[Article 3 of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Once you confirm that your opponent is an enemy, and they have a way of seeking death, do not show mercy; otherwise, you will only create more trouble for yourself.]

He should have eliminated the eye-type martial soul that could restrain the Purple Demon Eye long ago, according to his ancestral teachings. However, it was because of a momentary lapse in judgment back then that he has developed inner demons now.

But it doesn't matter, from now on, it's all over.

Lu Mingfei, go to hell!

However, before Tang San could see the fragments of the Bat Wing Reincarnation weaving together in strange arcs that pierced Lu Mingfei's skin, his body had already involuntarily knelt on the ground.

It was an overwhelming and majestic force, like a mountain collapsing or a sea overflowing.

The black aura around Lu Mingfei flowed slowly, and the fragments that had given Tang San all hope were now submerged in it and turned to ashes.

Lu Mingfei looked at Tang San with the eyes of someone looking at a bedbug, cursing inwardly: You little bastard, you really want to poke my eyes out, don't you? I've been waiting for this move from the start!

Chapter 183 One Kick Explodes Tang San

As we all know, whether it's StarCraft or World of Warcraft, as long as there's a PvP mechanism, thinking from another's perspective is an essential strategic concept.

Lu Mingfei had already mentally rehearsed many times what tactics he would use to defeat Tang San if he were Tang San.

After several battles, it has been proven that Tang San's martial arts manuals are flashy but impractical. His only martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, is somewhat worthwhile, and the only other thing he can show off is his spider legs.

From so many battles, it can be seen that Tang San's greatest strength lies in the deadly poison of the spider legs attached to his external soul bone. Without exception, any soul master who comes into contact with him will be poisoned and fall to the ground.

Although his dragon blood could even make him immune to Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom, Tang San was unaware of this.

Therefore, it can be assumed that part of Tang San's core strategic thinking lies in how to use the Eight Spider Lances to poison the enemy.

Considering Tang San's consistent tendency to use underhanded tactics, this is further illustrated by his reputation for harming others through treachery.

His envisioned tactic would be to use the rubble on the battlefield, or even the ice he created, as a medium to coat it with the deadly poison of the Eight Spider Lances, and throw it to puncture the opponent's eyeballs.

Upon further reflection, Tang San could use not only stones and ice blocks, but even blood and saliva as hidden weapons, and bone fragments were within his expectations.

At the start of today's battle, the moment Tang San revealed his spider legs, his golden eyes noticed that the tip of the third spider leg on Tang San's left was dim in soul power and even had cracks.

Afterwards, Tang San fell to the ground with his back to him, putting on a melodramatic scene, which further confirmed his suspicions.

However, he didn't interrupt, but cooperated with him to finish the play. After all, if he didn't cooperate, how could he teach this jumping toad a lesson?

Do you know that ever since he left Tiandou City, Tang Hao's malice towards him, as detected by his early warning system, has been so great that it could wake someone up in the middle of the night?

"I'll teach you to use underhanded tactics!"

A terrifying dragon's might instantly filled the entire square.

Everyone sensed that Lu Mingfei had suddenly changed. His golden eyes, still ancient, profound, and majestic, were now radiating direct anger and violence.

Tang San was kneeling on the ground, unable to move, as the dragon's might, like a volcanic eruption or a mountain pressing down, pressed directly on him.

He couldn't raise his head, because that would be disrespectful; he couldn't speak, because even breathing was a luxury at this moment; and he couldn't fall down, because the burning pain from his nerves had already breached his body's self-defense mechanisms.

The presumptuous ants will never find peace, not even for their souls.

Amidst the vast golden waves of dragon might, Lu Mingfei resembled a furious dragon, yet his expression remained remarkably calm, devoid of any ferocity caused by his rage.

"Stop!" The master on the periphery immediately shouted in alarm, but the moment Tang San knelt down, he already knew that the so-called trump card had failed, and he was about to admit defeat.

But Lu Mingfei had anticipated this. With just a glance, it was as if thunder suddenly exploded in the master's mind. The words of admitting defeat stuck in his throat, and he was so weak that he was about to collapse.

Liu Erlong and Flander, who were standing nearby, were also startled by this glance. By the time they came to their senses, the master had already fallen to the ground.

"Stop! Shrek concedes!" Flander reacted immediately, not even bothering to check on the master's condition, but it was clearly too late.

Lu Mingfei unleashed a world-class goal without warning.

Like a high-speed train crashing head-on into the Titanic, with a tooth-grinding, ear-piercing explosion of bone cracking, Tang San was like a cannonball, flying backwards along a 45-degree parabola at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.

Everyone was stunned, including Yu Tianheng and the others, who had never seen Lu Mingfei lose his temper before.

Bone Douluo gave a wry smile. He hadn't expected that Lu Mingfei would actually dare to treat Tang San like a football. How could Tang Hao possibly let this go?

As for Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, they couldn't care less about why Lu Mingfei would harbor such malice towards a mere Soul Master.

What surprised them was that the black energy Lu Mingfei had just used was enough to make them feel threatened.

As for the Spirit Hall Academy on the side, even Xie Yue felt his legs trembling. Lu Mingfei's furious dragon might just now was obviously a bit beyond the norm.

Only Qian Renxue felt both relieved and helpless. She had seen Tang San's sneak attack earlier. This kick was indeed satisfying, but it was a bit of a pity that she wasn't the one who kicked him.

"Little Silver!" Flander caught Tang San as he flew backward through the air.

Tang San's left arm was visibly mangled and bloody, and his face looked like a spice shop had been turned upside down, a complete mess of red, green, white, and blue stains.

"elder brother!"

The entire Shrek crew had already gathered around immediately. Xiao Wu was crying her heart out, and Oscar summoned the sausages, but how could he possibly feed them at this moment?

Ma Hongjun, however, noticed with his sharp eyes that Tang San's pants were wet, but he didn't dare to make a sound and quickly retreated silently.

At this moment, the cardinal, who was acting as the referee, stepped forward to check on Tang San's condition. After confirming that Tang San's vital signs were not in danger, he stood up and said, "Shrek Academy, please enter the arena immediately. We have medical personnel who will provide emergency care. The match continues."

"No need. Shrek Academy withdraws from this competition." Grandmaster issued the elder's decree, his face cold and showing no respect for the referee, and immediately led Tang San down the mountain.

Physical injuries are secondary; the more critical issue is that the trauma Lu Mingfei inflicted on Tang San this time is probably beyond repair. Even if there were miraculous medicines to heal Tang San now, he would not be able to continue fighting.

Before descending the mountain, he gave Lu Mingfei a final, cold look in the center of the square, his hatred for Lu Mingfei reaching its peak.

He needed to discuss the next steps with Haotian Douluo.

"Your Holiness, Shrek Academy has decided to forfeit all its members and withdraw from the competition. Please make your decision." The referee immediately reported Shrek's situation to the Pope upon returning.

Bibi Dong had actually heard the master's words long ago.

It's not hard to understand why he made this choice. The rest of Shrek's mediocre players weren't even good enough to cause trouble for the other two teams, so forfeiting was undoubtedly the best option.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to Lu Mingfei standing in the square. At this moment, Lu Mingfei had already closed his Golden Eyes, and his domineering aura had long since dissipated.

Lu Mingfei noticed the Pope's gaze, scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and quickly bowed.

Thinking to himself, this is the master's old lover. He kicked Shrek directly to the end of the series. Who knows if she will blame him for disturbing her rare long-awaited meeting with the master?

“Since Shrek Academy has withdrawn from the competition, the remaining two teams will proceed directly to the finals this afternoon, and the awards ceremony will be held immediately after the competition.” Bibi Dong stood up, leaned on her scepter, glanced in Qian Renxue’s direction, and then turned and left.

Lu Mingfei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The final battle had arrived. As long as he dealt with that saintess, everything would be over.

Chapter 184 Opening

The doors of the Papal Palace slowly closed, and Bone Douluo immediately chose to leave.

Both the Spirit Hall Academy team and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team breathed a sigh of relief. The two teams glanced at each other from a distance before turning and leaving.

Dugu Bo and Bai Baoshan led their entire team down the mountain, but instead of returning to their lodgings, they found another restaurant to rest.

Even though it's obvious who's right and who's wrong after something like this happened, it's still better to avoid going back and getting annoyed by Shrek. Out of sight, out of mind is best.

By this time, Shrek Academy had returned to their residence. They immediately summoned the healing Soul Masters who had accompanied the Heaven Dou Jury, along with Jiang Zhu, who had come with Shrek Academy, to begin treating Tang San.

Tang San's injuries were not serious. After all, Lu Mingfei was afraid that he would really kill Tang San by kicking him. He only had a few broken ribs, a comminuted fracture of his left arm, and a concussion. After treatment, these external injuries were not a problem.

But the most troublesome thing is Tang San's mental trauma. Lu Mingfei's furious dragon might completely shattered Tang San's will. As a half-human, half-soul beast, this blow was devastating for Tang San.

All his efforts, his so-called talent, and the dignity he cherished were wiped out by Lu Mingfei's kick.

"Brother, it's nothing serious, you still have us." Xiao Wu gripped Tang San's right hand tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

But this time, even Xiao Wu's tears couldn't make him look at her.

Tang Hao appeared and slapped him several times, but Tang San could only silently shed tears and couldn't utter a single word.

"Haotian Douluo, stop! Xiao San is still injured." Grandmaster quickly stepped forward to stop Tang Hao. In the current situation, even if Tang San was killed, it would not solve the problem.

"Useless trash!" Tang Hao cursed, then grabbed Tang San by the collar and lifted him off the bed. "He's just a nobody like Lu Mingfei. What's the use of crying here? I'll take you to kill him!"

Tang Hao's tone was extremely fierce and cold. He knew that if this blow wasn't dealt with drastically, Tang San might really be crippled.

Since Lu Mingfei was responsible for all of this, then let Tang San personally end his life, avenge him, and eliminate this threat once and for all!

He shouldn't have agreed to Tang San's ridiculous participation in the competition at all. He should have just gathered the Clear Sky Sect forces to ambush and kill Lu Mingfei in Heaven Dou City, so that Tang San wouldn't be in this state of being neither alive nor dead.

"Kill him, kill him, kill... Lu Mingfei!" Tang San, lying on the bed, heard Tang Hao's words and his empty eyes suddenly lit up. Tears streamed down his pale face as he roared with venomous hatred, like a demon.

"Alright!" Tang Hao hugged Tang San tightly, his body radiating an almost tangible killing intent, and said in a deep voice, "I will make sure you kill him with your own hands!"

“That’s right. Since he’s destined to be our enemy, let’s kill him as soon as possible.” The master’s eyes also turned extremely fierce. Eliminating the root of the problem is a compulsory course for every soul master.

In fact, Master Lu Mingfei harbored considerable hostility towards him. Even if Tang San had managed to defeat Lu Mingfei this time, he would still have advised Tang Hao to intercept and kill Lu Mingfei.

Everyone can see that Lu Mingfei is too powerful, and he has all the conditions to become a strongman. Even if Tang San's twin martial souls are fully developed, he would probably be unable to match him.

Moreover, he and they were destined to be on different paths. In that case, why leave such a huge threat for the future? While the other party is still within their sight, they must eliminate him completely!

Xiao Wu's hand, which had been gripping Tang San's sleeve, had fallen limply at some point. She had never imagined that these people would actually be plotting to kill Tang San simply because he had repeatedly lost to Lu Mingfei.

To find that one's lover, elders, and teachers could have such a hideous, demonic face.

She felt a chill for no reason; she realized she might never have understood their true thoughts.
