On the ring, the two stood still.

The referee raised the flag, announcing, "The match begins!"

Barak roared and charged toward Tang San, his soul rings lighting up, his soul skills ready to be unleashed.

However, Tang San remained motionless.

He didn't summon his martial spirit, nor did he light up his soul rings, and he didn't even assume a fighting stance.

She stood there straight and still, just like Gu Yuena had just been.

"What the hell? What is Tang San doing?"

"Not even summoning your martial spirit?"

"What are you pretending for! Trying to act cool like a young girl?"

"Exactly! Na'er is really capable, what is he anyway!"

"Imitating Dong Shi is disgusting!"

The mockery was incessant, but Tang San remained deaf to it.

As Barak's teammate rushed towards him, he pulled a dark iron box straight from his waist.

Zhuge's Divine Crossbow!

hum-

A barrage of arrows erupted!

Before the other side could react, they were pierced through by several crossbow bolts!

"what--"

Screams echoed throughout the stadium!

The man fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground, his body riddled with holes in blood!

Tang San put away the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and patted off non-existent dust from his hands.

“Useless.”

The referee was shocked and quickly carried the Barak player off the field for treatment.

Ye Lingling was nearby and summoned the Nine-Heart Begonia to help save people.

"Thank you!" the referee said, wiping away cold sweat.

At this moment, the audience below the stage was hurling insults incessantly.

"Despicable! Shameless!"

"They used weapons! They actually used weapons!"

"Exactly! The Long Night Squad also has soul-guided weapons, but when have they ever used them?"

"Ye Hua is a righteous person! I wouldn't stoop to using him! Unlike Tang San, who's a treacherous villain!"

The curses were deafening, but Tang San remained unperturbed.

The rules don't prohibit it, so what's it to you?

If you're so capable, why don't you use it too? If not, shut up!

The Barak team leader's face turned ashen. "Referee! He used a weapon! He seriously injured one of our team members!"

"This is a serious violation of the rules! It violates the spirit of competition. I demand that he be disqualified from the competition!"

Before the referee could speak, Salas spoke up from the stands.

"The rules only prohibit the use of drugs; ordinary weapons are not prohibited."

"Tang San's actions did not violate the rules."

The tour leader's eyes widened. "Bishop Salas! You're covering for him!"

"These are serious injuries, can they be considered ordinary weapons?!"

“I am simply following the rules,” Salas said, not getting angry.

Back when Yu Xiaogang forced him to help Tang San get into university, he was already being relentlessly criticized.

I might as well help him to the end, lest that [Elder Piggy] try to sabotage him!

"If you are not satisfied, you can file a complaint!"

"But the competition will continue until the rules are changed!"

This drew even louder criticism.

The criticism was also directed at the Spirit Hall.

But Tang San showed no shame whatsoever; instead, he held his head high.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings."

"You have no ability, all you do is complain!"

"Wait till I win the championship, then let's see what you have to say!"

He turned and walked off the ring, his steps light and quick, as if the curses were a hymn.

On the stands, Ye Hua shook his head. "Just as I expected."

“Ye Hua,” Wang Qiu’er frowned, “he’s disgusting!”

"Winning through underhanded means, and still so arrogant!"

“It’s normal,” Ye Hua rubbed his nose. “Never expect a hypocrite to turn over a new leaf overnight.”

"Our opponents are the Plants team, everyone get ready!"

Wang Qiu'er looked at the arena, "Uh, perhaps not..."

"Hmm?" Ye Hua rubbed his eyes.

But when the leader of the College of Botany went on stage, he decisively admitted defeat and stepped down.

The entire process took less than ten seconds, making it a model of efficiency and decisiveness!

“Well,” Ye Hua said, rubbing his forehead, “Na’er scared them half to death.”

Gu Yuena tilted her head innocently.

"In that case, let's go back and rest, and prepare for tomorrow."

"I believe the teams aren't stupid; they'll figure out a way to counter hidden weapons!"

Just as Ye Hua had predicted, after a few days of competition, whenever Tang San stepped onto the stage, his opponents were all wearing soft armor!

While it doesn't offer 100% protection, it does reduce the damage.

It wasn't until he faced the Blazing Fire Team that Tang San realized he could no longer continue like this.

He always took the lead, so dealing with the smaller fry was no problem; he and Dai Mubai could usually handle it.

But against such a formidable opponent as the Blazing Fire team, using the old tactics would be certain death!

Upon seeing Huo Wu on stage, Tang San's lips curled into a cunning smile.

"Hmph, Fire Dancer, just wait and see what surprises I have for you!"

Chapter 161 One who stays near ink gets stained black! Has Dai Mubai fallen into depravity?

Tang San looked at Huo Wu.

She was standing at the very front of the line, the flame mark between her eyebrows reflecting the sunlight, and when she saw him, she made no attempt to hide her disgust.

"Hmph," Tang San sneered, "Huang Yuan, Jing Ling."

The two of them looked up at the same time, their faces filled with doubt.

Tang San took out two Zhuge Divine Crossbows and handed them to them.

"You guys will be the first to go on stage, use this!"

Huang Yuan was stunned. "Captain, this..."

"What?" Tang San raised an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"

Huang Yuan hesitated before speaking, "Captain, this is a hidden weapon..."

"I know it's a hidden weapon," Tang San said indifferently.

Jingling frowned. "But...isn't this inappropriate?"

"The Soul Master competition is about Soul Skills, including surprise attacks using hidden weapons..."

"Shut up!" Tang San interrupted, "Why are you all being so fussy!"

"Our goal is the championship, and we will stop at nothing to win!"

The two remained silent.

"I'll say it again," Tang San said in an unquestionable tone, "Go up on stage and use the Zhuge Crossbow, shoot directly, don't hesitate!"

"Once we get Huo Wu off the stage, everything else will be easy!"

The two remained silent.

"If you're not willing," Tang San said expressionlessly, "withdraw from the competition now!"

"Shrek Team has no need for team members who disobey orders!"

Huang Yuan and Jing Ling's faces turned deathly pale.

Leave the team?

They finally made it to the qualifying rounds, and now they're withdrawing?

Although their methods of advancement were dishonorable, they had done their best.

Their family is hoping they'll get good grades!

They'll have to rely on these results to get by in the future!

But, but this also...

Huang Yuan and Jing Ling looked at each other and remained silent.

Finally, Huang Yuan slowly accepted the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

"I... will go."

Tang San nodded in satisfaction, "That's right!"

"Remember, shoot as soon as you get on stage, don't give her time to react!"

Huang Yuan ignored him and simply walked towards the ring with his head down.

Jing Ling entered the stage after him, looking somber.

Huo Wu became secretly on guard when she saw Huang Yuan go on stage.

The referee raised the flag.

"The match begins!"

Huo Wu's soul rings lit up instantly, and the Resist Fire Rings were ready to be unleashed.

however--

Huang Yuan didn't move.

He stood there.

Huo Wu narrowed her eyes slightly. "What? You want to imitate me too?"

"No, no!" Huang Yuan's hands trembled.

Even if he wins an attack on a girl using a hidden weapon, can he hold his head high?

Huang Yuan gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Huo Wu frowned even more deeply. "Are you going to fight or not? If you're not going to fight, then admit defeat!"
