As Xiao Tian expected, just a few minutes after they left, the second team was defeated by Shrek Academy.
Although there was no so-called one-minute end to the match this time, they still lost.
Afterward, Tang San bid farewell to everyone first, as he planned to visit the Heaven Dou Auction House again. His small Hidden Weapons had already created a sensation in the Empire through auctions.
He wanted to use this opportunity to sell his Hidden Weapons in complete sets.
He now had a considerable amount of start-up capital for establishing the Tang Sect. If nothing unexpected happened, after the Soul Master Competition concluded, he could ask Tai Tan for help to establish the Tang Sect first, while he himself would go on an experience journey with his father.
Originally, everything was proceeding smoothly, but there was one thing he couldn't understand: a few months ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School unilaterally severed their cooperative relationship with him!
Among all his Hidden Weapons, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow had the highest price, and because it was sold to a large Sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he could rapidly accumulate initial capital.
The auction was merely to gain fame.
He also guessed the reason: it was probably because of Xiao Tian, which led the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to cut ties!
Xiao Tian wanted to block his path to establishing a Sect!
Tang San thought fiercely in his heart, as soon as the Tang Sect was established, he would immediately go to Gengxin City, the City of Metal, to search for materials to craft the top three mechanical Hidden Weapons of the Tang Sect: the Peacock Plume, the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, and the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus!
But gradually, Tang San found something was amiss. He looked at his surroundings; this was the second time he had passed through here!
"Who's there!"
Tang San placed his hand on his waist, activating his Purple Demon Eye, and vigilantly looked around. He had entered an illusion set up by someone else!
"Hehe, little fellow, your eyes are very special. Emitting purple light, you can actually see through the illusion I set up."
In front of Tang San, an old man with white hair slowly walked out, looking at Tang San with a sinister expression.
"Who are you?"
Tang San looked at the person in front of him, not daring to be careless. He could feel the aura emanating from this person; at least a Spirit Emperor, no, possibly even a Spirit Saint!
Moreover, being able to set up an illusion indicated that his Spirit was related to mental force, and his Purple Demon Eye had not broken through to the next realm.
This meant that the person was currently creating the illusion with a playful mindset. If he had used his full power from the beginning, Tang San would probably already be dead.
Tang San's mind was racing, thinking if he had any means to kill him. His Spirit was out of the question. As for Hidden Weapons, the most powerful he had at hand was the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
The Mother-Son Chasing Soul Life-Taking Orb and the Yama Invitation were still in a semi-finished state due to the lack of several critical poisons.
What to do, what to do!
Shi Nian looked at Tang San's terrified expression and licked his lips. He loved seeing such expressions; as long as the opponent felt fear and dread, he would become extremely excited!
"I am Shi Nian of Canghui Academy. I heard that a few years ago, your Shrek and my Canghui Academy had a conflict, and you even tried to bully the weak, but another person stopped it.
But this matter cannot be settled just like that! Oh, right, did you also say something like this back then? A Spirit Master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good Spirit Master. Now... I've come to cause trouble, what will you do? Hehehe!"
Shi Nian looked at Tang San, letting out a strange laugh.
Tang San: ...
He didn't say that!
Tang San frowned and said, "Shi Nian, what do you plan to do then? If you want to kill me, you'd better think about the consequences!"
Shi Nian let out a sinister laugh: "Hahaha, if I kill you, your Shrek will have no hope of advancing, and our Canghui Academy can smoothly advance! As for the consequences? My Spirit can make you disappear without anyone knowing. No one can find out! And even if it's discovered, so what? Will you ask Flender or Liu Erlong to come find me? Do you think they dare?"
Shi Nian spoke with great confidence. Not to mention that Flender and Liu Erlong were only Spirit Saints, even if they were Spirit Douluo, so what?
Before his Spirit, Nightmare, they would basically lose several tenths of their combat power!
Seeing Shi Nian's recklessness, Tang San said no more.
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Poisonous Vine Cage!"
The next moment, sharp, barbed poisonous vines rapidly grew from the ground around Shi Nian. These vines intertwined to form a sturdy cage, tightly binding the target within it.
Then, several Godly Zhuge Crossbows appeared in his hands, and he directly fired them at Shi Nian.
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
Clear Sky Hammer!
Shi Nian's mindset hadn't changed much initially. This mere control Spirit Ability was shattered the moment it tried to control him, as his entire spirit power surged. The crossbow bolts from the Godly Zhuge Crossbow were also easily blocked by him.
But when he saw the hammer in Tang San's left hand, his pupils suddenly constricted. This blue hammer looked somewhat familiar!
And in Tang San's hand, it had become incredibly massive!
"This is... the Clear Sky Hammer! You actually possess twin spirits! Didn't the Clear Sky Sect seal off their mountain? Why do you still possess the Clear Sky HammerSpirit!"
"Hmph! My father is Tang Hao!"
Upon hearing that familiar name, Shi Nian's eyes widened in shock. How familiar that name was.
Although he had never met Tang Hao himself, he had heard of his reputation: the Clear Sky Twin Stars of that year, the youngest Titled Douluo!
He hadn't expected Tang San to be the descendant of such a figure.
Immediately, Shi Nian's eyes, as he looked at Tang San, flashed with ruthlessness: "In that case, I can even less afford to let you live!"
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Nightmare!"
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted, and he urgently shouted, "Father!"
The next moment, Tang San's vision changed, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand stopped falling. He looked at the familiar surroundings; this was actually his Tang Sect from his previous life!
"Hahaha, do you think your father will appear just because you call for him now? If he were going to appear, he would have appeared long ago!"
This time, Shi Nian had no intention of amusement. He directly maximized the effect of his Martial Soul True Body. He wanted to make Tang San's mental state collapse and kill him in an extremely short amount of time!
But just then, cold sweat streamed down his back. An immense pressure was released upon him—a Titled Douluo!
"Bastard! A mere Spirit Saint, daring to bully my son, who gave you the guts!"
Boom—
A gigantic Clear Sky Hammer, glowing red, landed directly in front of Shi Nian.
Shi Nian looked at this Clear Sky Hammer, his body trembling uncontrollably, and then at the nine spirit rings continuously emerging from the black-robed figure in the distance: "Your Excellency Clear Sky! You've been secretly protecting Tang San?!"
"Hmph! Don't you like to bully the weak? Perfect, I like it too. I haven't moved around in a long time, let's have a match!"
"Ah ah ah—"
