Chapter 256: 275. Shrek's Humiliating Defeat
"Ah San, what should we do?" Dai Mubai whispered lowly.
Tang San's face was ashen as he said: "Mubai, there's no time for planning now. In this soul fight, we'll adapt as we go. Go all out. Whether it's for the previous bet or for Shrek's glory, we can't lose."
"Good."
Ding ding ding...
With a series of bell tolls, the match officially began.
Both teams started moving at this moment.
Suddenly, Su Qingqian's Emerald Heavenly Goose spread its wings, and a domain full of vitality spread toward the surroundings.
Bathed in the domain's emerald green light, Tang San felt these healing lights constantly mending his body.
Is it the domain's characteristic of indiscriminate healing, or... Tang San thought of a possibility.
Oscar distributed his sausages, and Ning Rongrong also activated the buffs from her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to entwine around every team member. He, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun guarded the rear where Ning Rongrong and Oscar were, preparing for Ye Qingmei's possible assault.
However, their guarded target, Ye Qingmei, didn't accelerate into a stab like last time. Her figure wandered like a cat at the edge of Shrek's position, attracting the attention of the Shrek members.
The Starfire team's angel's holy light flickered, enveloping every member in a layer of light shield.
Then, they went all out. Lu Kai's angel maneuvered in front of Tang San. Instinctively, Tang San unleashed Blue Silver Prison on Lu Kai. The prison trapped the angel but was soon burned to ashes by holy flames.
The holy fire followed the blue silver grass and burned onto Tang San's body. Once the flames touched him, Tang San felt not only his body burning, but even his soul power burning. In no time, Tang San turned into a man of fire.
Without the fire immunity granted by the Blazing Fire Apricot Jiaoshu, it was fatal for Tang San. Even though his blue silver grass bloodline was extraordinary, he found ordinary flames tricky, let alone the near-extreme holy flames of the angel.
At this moment, Su Qingqian showed another shocking scene. White Tiger and Spirit Cat, two great martial souls, appeared on her simultaneously. Then, the two martial souls drew close to each other, moving toward fusion.
It was twin martial souls, and a self-martial soul fusion technique that had never appeared in history.
The VIP seats all turned to look.
As soon as the Netherworld White Tiger emerged, it slapped Huang Yuan and Tai Long to the ground at extreme speed, leaving them unconscious and unknown if alive or dead.
When Dai Mubai's fist collided with Mu Yuanfang's Haotian Hammer, Dai Mubai felt his bones from fist to shoulder shatter instantly. The Haotian Hammer's powerful force smashed him flying out of the field, where he passed out.
Originally, the Shrek team had been guarding against Ye Qingmei's sneak attack, but unexpectedly, with a spatial shuttle, Zhao Hengning's Bone Dragon cut into Shrek's rear formation. Oscar and Ning Rongrong were knocked out by Zhao Hengning.
In no time, Ma Hongjun also fell to Lin Chen's thunder.
Shrek's defeat happened in an instant, probably less than thirty seconds. Mu Yuanfang and the others stood intact on the stage, their gazes sweeping around, telling everyone who the real trash was.
Seeing Tang San burned unconscious by the holy fire, Yu Xiaogang couldn't sit still. He stood up in grief and indignation, roaring at the referee:
"Referee, I want to lodge a complaint. They're not competing at all; they're killing people. They've violated the match rules. I demand they be judged as losers."
The referee fully woke up at this moment, his stern gaze turning toward the Starfire team.
Mu Yuanfang smiled indifferently and asked a question: "Respected referee, I only ask you one question: are they dead?"
The referee was stunned. He looked toward the fallen Shrek team. Although the seven had severe injuries, they were still breathing; they wouldn't die.
On the other side, Lu Kai retracted the flames from the unconscious Tang San on the ground. The domain's healing light surged into Tang San's body, beginning to treat his injuries.
While his body healed, Tang San's heart felt immense humiliation because this scene felt a bit familiar.
Mu Yuanfang continued, pointing to Su Qingqian behind him: "Our auxiliary soul master's ability is healing. She activated her martial soul from the start, releasing the healing domain. This healing domain spread across the entire soul fighting platform and many places below it. That wasn't to heal us, but to heal them. If we really wanted to kill, would we heal our opponents? It seems they don't need our healing anymore. Junior Sister Su Qingqian, stop."
Mu Yuanfang's voice was steady, but he used soul power to transmit it throughout the venue, letting everyone hear.
To have their own soul masters heal the opponents from the beginning—what contempt. But Starfire team had shown strength sufficient to despise their opponents from the start.
Flender, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Li Yusong, and others couldn't hold back after hearing this. Especially the hot-tempered Liu Erlong, who almost rushed onto the stage for an explanation, but was held back by Flender.
The referee looked at this side, then that. At this time, two more referees ran over and whispered a few words in the referee's ear. After discussing, they came onto the stage and announced loudly: "Preliminaries first round fourth match, Starfire Academy wins."
Boom! The audience seats instantly erupted in massive discussion:
"My judgment was right; Starfire team could win this soul fight. Hahaha, I bet 1000 gold soul coins on Starfire team and made a small profit."
"Aaaah, Shit Shrek, you bunch of trash. You made me expect for nothing; now all my savings are gone!"
"I could tell; this shi-something academy was just playing pig to eat tiger, but in the end, it turned out to be a real pig."
"Seeking attention, but ended up as a real clown. Simply ridiculous, hahahaha."
"Before the start, they boasted about eliminating the opponent in five minutes, but in less than a minute, they were eliminated. What a thorough clown."
"I calculated the time: 28 seconds. Shrek's fastest legend!"
"I think we shouldn't call it shi-something academy anymore; just call it Clown Academy, specializing in exporting clowns to the continent, entertaining the continent."
Because his daughter was on the stage, Ning Fengzhi summoned his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to heal all of Shrek's members.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others went up standing but came down on stretchers.
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San full of apology and said: "Ah San, sorry. I wanted to help you win this match, but..."
Tang San said with a grim face: "It's not your fault, Mubai. We just collected too little intelligence on the opponent. Next time, next time we meet them, we must wash away this humiliation."
