I'm picking up fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 178 Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Softened
"Chihuo Academy." Yu Xiaogang looked solemn and subconsciously clenched his hands into fists.

In the previous few games, Blazing Academy showed its strength. With their powerful explosive power, they won every game within 10 minutes.

Even the tough and tough Elephant Armor Academy was defeated by the Blazing Fire Academy's fierce bombardment.

Yu Xiaogang studied the battles of the Blazing Academy, and he was surprised to find that this team abandoned the traditional extreme flow tactics of the Elemental Academy and instead embarked on the path of balanced development.

Fire attack, fire control, fire agility, fire support...

Each position complements each other to build a very threatening combat system.

There is no doubt that for Shrek Academy, the next match against Blazing Academy will be an extremely difficult and bloody battle.

"The most difficult thing is that the fire element just restrains Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass. The next game will be very difficult to win." Flanders looked helpless and sighed heavily.

Yu Xiaogang's face became increasingly gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he said decisively, "Let Zhu Zhuqing play in the next game. No, she alone is not enough. Let Ning Rongrong replace Jiangzhu."

Flanders adjusted his glasses, his eyes full of doubts: "Xiaogang, didn't you always emphasize the need to conserve strength? Will exposing Ning Rongrong's existence so early have an impact on the subsequent promotion matches?"

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned red, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "You little monsters can't lose again! I will make those who looked down on me pay the price!"

Flanders nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Shrek will win!"

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.

The Great Fighting Spirit Arena was already packed with people, and cheers and discussions intertwined like rolling thunder. For the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, just by selling tickets every day, it can earn a very considerable income.

On the podium, Lu Feng, Owen, and Dou Dou sat side by side.

After commentating on several games, Lu Feng and Irving have gained recognition and support from many audiences with their professional commentary.

Doudou is very clear about her role and she wants to be a good vase.

When the two were talking, they interspersed short responses such as "not bad", "OK", "hmm", etc. at appropriate times, which also won the love of many audiences.

Lu Feng was restricted from participating in the competition because he was the host. The reason given was "to ensure the fairness of the competition."

The two teams responsible for the investigation were led by Sarath and Xue Qinghe respectively. It was this Crown Prince who proposed to restrict Lu Feng's participation in the competition.

Lu Feng didn't care about the outcome. His original intention of participating in the competition was to collect fragments, not to compete with these clear-eyed students.

On the stage, players from both teams strode into the venue with their heads held high.

In an instant, the entire stands were like a raging storm, with cheers rising one after another and continuously.

The majority of the audience supported Blazing Academy, with only a small number of viewers shouting the name of Shrek Academy.

However, most of the voices about Shrek Academy were ridiculing words like "get out" and "waste".

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore." Dai Mubai walked forward while clenching his fists tightly.

Tang San, who was following behind him, could clearly feel that Dai Mubai's muscles were tense, as if he was a volcano about to erupt and could erupt at any time.

"Boss Dai, please be patient. When the game starts, we will use our strength to make them shut up completely." Tang San raised his hand and gently patted Dai Mubai's shoulder.

Although he spoke lightly, his slightly trembling shoulders still revealed his suppressed anger.

Dai Mubai looked back at Tang San, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
"Damn it! In this game, I must let them see the true strength of Shrek Academy!" Dai Mubai said gritting his teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement, which was rare.

For Zhu Zhuqing, if her team can enter the finals, she will have the opportunity to compete with her sister Zhu Zhuyun. As long as she performs well enough in the competition, even if she loses in the end, she will have the capital to negotiate with the family.

In this match, Shrek Academy sent out its strongest lineup. Everyone knew that Shrek Academy had no way out.

In this battle, you can only win, not lose.

On the stage, Owen's slightly magnetic voice sounded.

"At this moment, both teams have taken their positions. Blazing Academy still has the familiar seven-member lineup, but Shrek Academy has a few new faces. Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Feng's eyes were as sharp as torches as he slowly scanned the people from Shrek Academy. He saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong standing side by side at the end of the team.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said: "The teachers of Shrek Academy ignored the rules of the competition, causing them to lose the qualifications for three games directly. The situation is serious now. If Shrek loses this game again, I am afraid it will be completely out of the promotion game."

"In my opinion, the people standing on the stage now are most likely the strongest lineup that Shrek Academy can send out."

Doudou nodded obediently and agreed, "Well, it's really unfortunate for them to have such a teacher."

As soon as the three finished speaking, waves of mocking voices from the audience surged towards Shrek Academy like a surging tide.

Team rest area.

Yu Xiaogang listened to the overwhelming insults, anger burning in his heart. He unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.

He suppressed his inner anger, cupped his hands around his mouth, and shouted loudly towards the ring: "Little monsters, go all out and fight hard! Shrek will win!"

"Swish!" Almost at the same moment, the referee waved the yellow flag in his hand violently, pointing directly at Yu Xiaogang.

"Interfering with the game, one warning!" The referee's stern voice rang out.

This referee was the one who had been in Shrek Academy's first match. Last time, there was an accident on the ring, and he was severely reprimanded by his superiors and had a month's salary deducted.

Strictly speaking, Yu Xiaogang's cheering behavior was not against the rules. But it was obvious that the referee was already trying to get on with him.

"You..." Yu Xiao was about to open his mouth to refute, but he saw that the referee had already raised the red flag in the air, and he swallowed the words back.

In the arena.

The seven students from Blazing Academy formed a triangle formation, looking very aggressive.

Standing at the front of the team is Huo Wushuang, his martial soul is the One-horned Fire Tyrannosaurus, a level 42 strong attack-type combat soul master, and he completely takes the route of explosive attacks.

At this moment, Huo Wushuang's eyes were like knives, staring straight at Dai Mubai. The two people's eyes collided fiercely in the air, creating invisible sparks.

Huo Wushuang raised a teasing smile and said sarcastically, "Shrek Academy? You were just talking nonsense before, but now you have screwed yourself over, right?"

A tall and thin soul master behind Huo Wushuang said, "If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to continue to stay here and compete."

Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "I hope you can still be so arrogant when the fight starts later."

"Both sides release their martial spirits." The referee's voice sounded.

In an instant, the center of the main stage was brightly lit, and the dazzling light made it almost impossible to open your eyes. Looking carefully, the lineups of both sides were the same, both led by two Soul Masters and five Soul Lords.

Huo Wushuang's gaze quickly shifted to Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he murmured, "Interesting, White Tiger Martial Spirit, Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Spirit."

Then, his gaze passed Zhu Zhuqing and finally fell on Ning Rongrong, who was at the end of the team.

In Ning Rongrong's hand, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower burst into dazzling light and exuded a powerful aura.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tower!" Huo Wushuang's face darkened and he said in surprise.

Dai Mubai sneered and did not respond. But in fact, he did not have much confidence.

If he and Zhu Zhuqing could perform the martial soul fusion technique, they might still have a chance of winning this match. But Zhu Zhuqing didn't even look at him.

What's more, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Spirit was restrained by the opponent's fire attribute. It was still unknown who would win this match.

"The game officially begins!" the referee gave the order.

"boom--"

At this moment, the first spirit ring of each member of the Blazing Academy team released a dazzling light, and the lights intertwined together, like a gorgeous sea of fire.

Sparks flew from the two auxiliary soul masters' bodies like fireworks, which was gorgeous and dazzling but also harboured hidden dangers.

Countless tiny red dots of light in the air, as if being pulled by an invisible giant hand, rushed towards the ring at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, the flames instantly rose up. The fiery red light enveloped the entire ring, and the hot breath rushed to the face, making people feel as if they were in a blazing furnace.

The martial spirits of these two auxiliary spirit masters are Mars, an extremely peculiar martial spirit.

While assisting teammates, it also has a certain offensive ability. If you encounter a soul master whose soul power is one stage lower than yours, you may be able to defeat the opponent. On the rostrum, Owen's voice was clear, explaining the battle situation to the audience: "It appeared, the signature tactics of the Blazing Team. The game has just begun, and they have already created the most favorable terrain advantage for themselves."

On the field, Tang San quickly launched an attack. Blue silver grass was like a green snake, breaking out of the ground and attacking the Blazing Academy people at an extremely fast speed.

However, the moment the blue silver grass touched the sparks, a "sizzling" sound rang in the ears, and the originally green leaves instantly curled and withered, losing their vitality.

Seeing this, Owen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said: "Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is obviously restrained by the fire attribute of Blazing Academy."

"As a control-type spirit master, you have actually lost the ability to effectively use your spirit?"

"Perhaps, he is the biggest flaw of Shrek Academy."

Doudou quickly nodded in agreement: "Yeah, that's right, that's true."

As soon as the two hosts finished their words, a heated discussion broke out in the audience.

"Haha, Blue Silver Grass really deserves the title of a useless martial spirit."

"If you feed this grass to pigs, they won't eat it."

"Knowing that Blue Silver Grass is restrained by fire, they still insisted on letting Tang San go on the field. I'm afraid the leader of Shrek Academy is also a waste."

Team rest area.

Yu Xiaogang turned a deaf ear to the insults from the audience.

Over the years, he has heard words like "waste" too many times and has long been accustomed to them, and his heart is not disturbed at all.

Flanders looked at the situation on the field, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaogang, I said before that Jingling should be put on the field. Now Xiaosan's Blue Silver Grass has been completely restrained, what should we do?"

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed. He asked, "Flender, do you know why I must let Tang San play?"

Without waiting for Flanders to answer, he continued, "Xiao San's abilities are more than that. Although the Soul Master Competition prohibits the use of other weapons, with his magical methods, he will never be at a disadvantage even if facing any Battle Soul Master."

Upon hearing this, Flanders immediately recalled the match between Shrek and the Royal Fighting Team.

At that time, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit was restrained, but he was able to fight against Yu Tianheng without losing the upper hand just by relying on his agile body movements.

"That puts me at ease."

Flanders quickly returned to his expressionless, shoe-sole-like face.

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and said with a bit of pride: "Humph, don't you see whose disciple Xiao San is."

On the fighting arena, the battle becomes more and more intense.

Huo Wushuang rushed forward with a fierce momentum, and a loud dragon roar burst out from his mouth. After the martial spirit possessed him, his whole body was surging with flames, and a layer of hot dark red scales covered the surface of his skin, just like a tyrannosaurus.

Another strong attack spirit master followed closely behind. His martial spirit was the Fire Leopard, which possessed both powerful attack power and speed.

Two agility attack spirit masters, Huoyun and Huoyu, stretched out a pair of gorgeous flamingo wings behind them, like two red lightning bolts, gliding around from both sides.

Their target was very clear, it was Ning Rongrong.

After all, no matter where the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower Soul Master is, he will be the enemy's priority target of attack.

With a "bang", a thick purple flame suddenly spurted out of Ma Hongjun's mouth.

The first soul skill: Phoenix Fireline.

The purple flame was like a surging wave, colliding head-on with Huoyun's first soul skill and swallowing it up in an instant.

Huoyun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his body panickedly turned sideways in mid-air. The purple flame brushed past his hair, burning a large area of it.

"Hmph, what a rubbish flame! It's nothing compared to my Evil Fire Phoenix." Ma Hongjun said sarcastically with a smug look on his face.

"What evil fire phoenix? I think it's an evil fire chicken!" Huoyun said sarcastically as he looked at Ma Hongjun's fat body.

"Fuck! What I hate most is when someone calls me a chicken!" Ma Hongjun roared, and a flame spurted out of his mouth.

The fire cloud circled up, easily avoiding the flame. At the same time, his flaming wings flickered, and another attack blasted towards Ning Rongrong.

Without exception, it was blocked by Ma Hongjun's first soul skill.

For a moment, the two men's soul skills collided with each other, and gorgeous explosion flames filled the air.

Huoyu's opponent is Zhu Zhuqing. In the brief confrontation just now, his left arm was hit by Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws and he could no longer lift it up.

If it weren't for an auxiliary spirit master who amplified him in time, he would have been knocked to the ground.

"What a fast speed!" Fire Rain hovered in the air, looking at Zhu Zhuqing below. He was full of fear and did not dare to attack again.

"Zhu Qing, my assistant is awesome, right?" Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Zhu Zhuqing felt the 40% increase in speed attribute in her body and nodded slightly.

"Rongrong, don't worry about me, help others first. This Fire Crane Spirit Master poses no threat to me." Zhu Zhuqing said in a deep voice.

In fact, the moment the game started, Zhu Zhuqing planned to cut into the back row first and eliminate the opponent's two auxiliary soul masters.

But she didn't expect that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would be restrained so thoroughly.

What's worse is that she found that without the control system, no one on her side could stop the two flying soul masters from attacking Ning Rongrong.

"Ok."

Ning Rongrong pouted slightly, then sang loudly: "The seven treasures have names, one of which is: power!"

"The seven treasures have names, and the third one is: Soul!"

Two rays of colorful light sank into Dai Mubai and Tai Long's bodies respectively. In an instant, the momentum of the two men suddenly rose, and they worked together to repel Huo Wushuang.

"This increase is worthy of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower. It's so cool!" Tai Long shouted excitedly.

With his soul power increased by 40%, his muscles bulged, his skin became as hard as rock, and his whole body was filled with power.

Dai Mubai's sharp claws popped out, and he felt the surging power in his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He looked at Huo Wushuang jokingly and said, "What's wrong? Where did your arrogance go?"

"Hmph, a villain is successful." Huo Wushuang wiped the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.

Before he finished speaking, sparks in the air shot out like dense rain of arrows and instantly merged into his body. In an instant, a circle of golden-red light suddenly released from his body, and his momentum surged.

"Whoosh!"

Flames rose under Huo Wushuang's feet, and his whole body turned into a burning cannonball, rushing towards Tailong at a rapid speed.

"Get out of the way!" Dai Mubai shouted at Tailong when he saw this.

At the same time, his third soul ring shone, and a strong golden light burst out from his body. He waved his tiger claws and attacked Huo Wushuang with all his strength.

However, he was shocked to find that his speed could not keep up with the opponent at all.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Tailong shouted loudly and rushed towards Huo Wushuang resolutely.

There is no retreat, Mighty Ape!

"Bang!" A dull and loud noise was heard, and the powerful impact force caused the surrounding air to vibrate violently.

Tai Long was hit in the chest by Huo Wushuang, and his body flew backwards like a kite with its string cut. The front of him was stained by the flames, and a burning smell instantly came out.

"Bang!" Another muffled groan was heard.

Huo Wushuang turned around and fought with Dai Mubai, and both of their bodies shook at the same time. Dai Mubai took a step back, while Huo Wushuang stood firmly in place, not moving at all.

Both of them have extremely powerful martial spirits, but Huo Wushuang is still superior in terms of soul power. The power increase of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is certainly not weak, but the simultaneous increase of two auxiliary soul masters should not be underestimated.

"Shrek Academy is nothing special!" Huo Wushuang patted the corner of his clothes in front of him and said jokingly.
