Chapter 70: A Complete Victory Over Shrek Academy!
While reminding Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er didn't stay idle either. She aimed straight at Tang San and instantly cast Ice Bind.
Even if it couldn't freeze Tang San for long, it was still enough to impose a brief control effect.
In battles between soul masters, the outcome is often decided in a single instant.
Instant-cast soul skills were extremely annoying—there was no casting animation or warning whatsoever.
Tang San had no way to dodge it, nor did he possess immunity to ice or fire.
Just as he broke free from the ice bind, Zhu Zhuqing's figure had already vanished.
In the next moment, Tang San felt a piercing pain in his right leg, and he was sent flying sideways along with his hammer.
"—Hiss!"
Tang San sucked in a sharp breath.
If Zhu Zhuqing had used the blade of the scythe instead of the back, his right leg—or even both legs—would likely have been severed on the spot.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing had only smashed the back of the scythe into his right leg.
In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Tang San had to die.
However, this was still a match. Killing Tang San in the arena would break the rules.
If that happened, the Sky Water team would lose its qualification to compete.
Killing Tang San would be easy—just do it quietly after the match.
After all, Tang Hao was already dead. Who else could save Tang San?
Tang San's physique was definitely among the best at the Soul King stage.
But even so, taking that blow head-on left him badly shaken.
If his judgment was correct, cracks had already appeared in his right leg bone… If it wasn't treated in time, it would likely leave behind a severe hidden injury!
"What a vicious woman!"
Zhu Zhuqing: "???"
"You've already lost. Are you still planning to keep struggling?"
Shui Bing'er frowned and spoke coldly.
Tang San was still Tang San—the same as she remembered.
Still, this is shameless.
She clearly showed him mercy, yet he turned around and spat out, "What a vicious woman."
If she had truly been vicious, both of his legs would already be separated from his body.
"I haven't lost!"
Tang San was unwilling to accept defeat.
He still had many, many methods left—countless soul skills he hadn't even used yet.
How could he possibly admit defeat so easily?
Sweeping his gaze around, Tang San realized that only he remained on the Shrek side.
Oscar and Jiang Zhu stood below the stage, wearing awkward smiles.
The spot they had occupied was now taken by Qiu Ruoshui.
Against attack-type soul masters, support-type soul masters had no means of resistance. The two of them hadn't hesitated at all and had jumped straight off the stage to avoid needless suffering.
Tang San had imagined many possibilities for this match.
But he had never imagined that his teammates would be defeated so cleanly.
Shui Bing'er's Ice Bind and those yellow rings had completely disrupted all of his plans!
And it was precisely because of Shui Bing'er's ice control that he was caught completely off guard…
At this moment, Tang San felt his mindset crack.
She was clearly only a Soul Ancestor—so why was Shui Bing'er this strong?
And those yellow rings… What exactly were they?
"Tsk, are you even a man? Can't afford to lose?"
Qiu Ruoshui crossed her arms and mocked him.
They had already shown mercy, yet ran into someone who couldn't accept defeat—truly headache-inducing.
Any other opponent would have admitted defeat long ago, but this person was insisting: "I haven't lost yet!"
Was this a joke?
Tang San clenched his fists and glared at Qiu Ruoshui.
He wasn't even fifteen yet—so what if he wasn't a man?
"Since you refuse to concede, then you've chosen the way to death."
Zhu Zhuqing stared at Tang San coldly, her voice icy.
Tang San's mind is filled with question marks.
No, wait, sister, is that even your line? You're just using it!
The corner of Shui Bing'er's eye twitched slightly. She glanced at Tang San, then at Zhu Zhuqing, feeling something was both off and oddly amusing.
What the hell was "The Way to Death"!
"We admit defeat. For this match, Shrek Academy admits defeat."
At this moment, before the people on stage could continue fighting, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly shouted.
However, his speech was slurred so badly that the referee couldn't understand him at all.
This was Fifteen Ton Douluo's handiwork—one slap from him had knocked out more than a dozen of Yu Xiaogang's teeth.
"What are you standing around for?"
"Xiaogang means Shrek Academy concedes!"
Flender said unhappily to the referee.
Referee: "..."
Yu Xiaogang was speaking with air leaking everywhere—how was he supposed to understand that?
Since Shrek's team leader had spoken, the match was over.
Anyone with eyes could see that Sky Water Team had indeed held back.
On the stage, Tang San froze when he heard this.
He didn't understand why Yu Xiaogang would make such a decision, but he had no choice but to accept it.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was his teacher.
"Next time, we won't lose again."
As he said this, Tang San's gaze landed on Shui Bing'er.
Rather than losing to Zhu Zhuqing, it would be more accurate to say he had lost to Shui Bing'er.
Without Shui Bing'er's control, Shrek wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
In the end, it was still a loss due to insufficient intelligence.
After this experience, they would be far more cautious next time—or perhaps even devise specific tactics against Shui Bing'er.
With a dark expression, Tang San limped off the stage.
His right leg needed treatment.
His mentality had clearly taken a hit.
In the original timeline, even Tang San—who possessed ice-and-fire immunity—had been left with psychological trauma by Shui Bing'er.
Let alone now.
As a Soul King, he possessed the pride of a Soul King.
Yet he still lost—lost too cleanly, too quickly!
"Tsk, what kind of person is that? Such a sore loser!"
The girls curled their lips, completely indifferent to Tang San's words.
If Tang San had simply admitted defeat, they might have looked at him in a better light.
But instead, he refused to concede and tried to keep dragging things out—utterly shameless!
Shui Bing'er shook her head. Tang San's behavior was completely normal in her eyes.
Shrek Academy vs. Sky Water Academy—Sky Water Academy had secured victory in just two or three minutes.
If Tang San hadn't stubbornly refused to surrender, the entire process could have ended within a single minute.
From start to finish, it was a one-sided, overwhelming victory by the Sky Water girls!
Control. Burst damage. Control. Burst damage. Clean and decisive—wipe them out in one wave.
"Good thing we chose to concede."
"The strength of the Shrek team is uneven—they rely mainly on Tang Yin."
"But even so, we still aren't Tang Yin's opponents…"
"If you can resolve Shrek Academy this quickly, dealing with us… would've been just as easy."
Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and the others said to Shui Bing'er and her team.
Admitting one's own weakness wasn't difficult.
"It was mainly because of Rongrong—her buffs were just too strong!"
Shui Bing'er spread her hands, casually shifting the credit to Ning Rongrong.
Indeed, a large portion of the credit for defeating Shrek so quickly belonged to Ning Rongrong.
From start to finish, her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda buffs never stopped.
Four attributes, each boosted by fifty percent!
While making a Soul Ancestor a match for a Soul King might be difficult, giving a Soul Elder the combat power of a Soul Ancestor was no problem at all.
"Everyone did great. Otherwise, my buffs wouldn't have mattered much."
Ning Rongrong said generously, now carrying a hint of true young-lady grace.
