Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 86 Three Killer Moves

The Spirit Hall Academy team's decision to forfeit the match came as a surprise to everyone.

The pressure on the teachers and students of Shrek Academy has increased significantly.

If both the Spirit Hall team and the Tianshui team go all out to compete for a spot in the finals, both sides will suffer significant losses regardless of which side loses.

With all members of the Shrek team healthy, they are even more confident in the afternoon's matches against teams that are not at their best.

However, things did not develop as they had imagined.

Although Yan from the Spirit Hall team lost to Xiao Han, he was not injured.

The other six key players did not play, and all of them are in top condition for the afternoon's semi-final.

This is a huge challenge for Shrek Academy.

Back at the hotel, Yu Xiaogang gathered the group together.

"The way things turned out was beyond my expectations. I never thought that the usually proud Bibi Dong would voluntarily withdraw from the competition."

"Teacher, do you mean that forfeiting the competition was Pope Bibi Dong's idea?"

"That's right. Without Bibi Dong's permission, the instructors leading the Spirit Hall Academy team would never have dared to make the decision to forfeit the competition in front of those elders."

"I see. It seems they want to conserve their strength to deal with us."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and sighed:

"You're right, mistress. Actually, I'm more worried that the person they really want to get rid of is you."

"Teacher, you don't need to worry about me. With Uncle Ning, Sword Douluo, and Senior Dugu around, they can't do anything to me. Besides, there's my dad too."

After experiencing an ambush, Tang San mentioned to Yu Xiaogang that his father, Tang Hao, might have been watching him secretly all along.

Yu Xiaogang said:

"Okay. Anyway, you need to be careful during the game."

"Yes, I know."

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat relieved and then said:

"The afternoon's match will be a huge challenge for you. What are your thoughts?"

Several people looked at each other.

As the team captain, Dai Mubai was the first to step forward.

"Master, the Spirit Hall team is too strong. This time we have to go all out. Zhu Qing and I will no longer hold back our Spirit Fusion Skill. With Rong Rong and Xiao Ao's full support, we will definitely catch them off guard."

As the soul of the team, Tang San continued:

"In previous matches, besides holding back on Rongrong and Xiao'ao's support abilities, we also have three trump cards."

Oscar was somewhat puzzled.

"Third Brother, where are the three trump cards? Aren't they just Boss Dai and Zhu Qing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the Seven-in-One Fusion?"

The Seven-in-One Fusion was an inspiration that Yu Xiaogang stole from the Seven-in-One Fusion of Canghui Academy. He used Ning Rongrong and Oscar as the fusion hub to fuse the soul power of the Shrek Seven Devils into one.

Although it is not a seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill, it still possesses tremendous power.

Tang San gave a sinister smile.

"I have another trump card: I can launch a sneak attack using fragments of my external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances."

"Third Brother, what exactly does this mean? Explain it in more detail."

"It involves combining my superb concealed weapon skills with spider spear fragments containing potent poison to ambush the opponent."

"What?! Isn't this self-harm?!"

Everyone, like Xiao Wu, was shocked by Tang San's idea and was somewhat worried about him.

Tang San's external soul bone is connected to his body and is part of his body.

The shattering of the spider spear would bring him immense pain.

They had all witnessed that situation firsthand.

Tang San smiled dismissively.

"You don't need to worry about me. I've been through that kind of pain twice already, so I'm used to it and can bear it. Besides, with Uncle Ning here, the pain is only temporary."

Even so, the group was still somewhat uneasy.

Yu Xiaogang said:

"Little San, do you already have a plan for this afternoon's match?"

"Um."

Tang San nodded slightly and continued:

"The Spirit Hall team's strongest killing move should be Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Spirit Fusion Skill, Enchantress. However, that skill has a limited range and will also restrict teammates in the same way. When they activate this Spirit Skill, the six of you will take off using Xiao Ao's Flying Mushroom Sausage, and I will restrain their Spirit Fusion Skill and wear them down."

Xiao Wu hurriedly said:

"Didn't Senior Brother Qin Ming say that soul power, vision, and senses would be restricted within that red mist? Brother, what you're doing is far too dangerous."

"Yes, Third Brother, this is too dangerous."

Tang San smiled confidently.

"Don't forget, I can not only use the Eight Spider Lances for protection, but I also have the Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Step, and the ability to locate by sound. The amplification from my Eight Spider Lances should be able to offset the amplification from those brother and sister's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If that doesn't work, I'll use the Spider Lance fragments to ambush them. Yan has flames and rocks protecting him, so my Spider Lance fragments probably won't hurt him. In that case, he'll be left to you guys to deal with."

Seeing that Tang San had made up his mind, the others said nothing more.

"Don't worry, my and Zhu Qing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is more than enough to deal with Yan."

"Yes. If we can defeat the Spirit Hall Academy this afternoon, we'll have a chance to defeat Tianshui Academy tomorrow using the Seven-in-One Fusion."

After hearing Tang San's words, the group gained confidence.

They simultaneously extended their right hands, pressed them together, and shouted:

"Shrek will win!"

Looking at the confident Shrek Seven Devils, Yu Xiaogang was very pleased.

"Then let's go with Xiao San's plan. I believe you can defeat those two academies and win the final championship."

Time quickly passed and it was afternoon.

Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall, the cardinals, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Dugu Bo, and the teachers and students of the three academies once again came to the square in front of the Papal Palace.

Tianshui College has advanced to tomorrow's final match and is eligible to watch the semi-finals of the other two colleges.

Shui Bing'er stood beside Xiao Han and asked softly:

"Xiaohan, who do you think will win between these two teams?"

"Maybe it's Shrek."

"You think highly of them?"

"Hmm, the Spirit Hall Academy might underestimate their opponent. The Shrek Academy team held back in the previous matches, and Tang San might use some underhanded tricks to catch them off guard."

"Tang San is indeed treacherous."

In the center of the square, the two teams stood facing each other, each fielding their full strength.

Xie Yue's lips curled into a disdainful smile as he deliberately provoked her:

"Three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables, this lineup dares to challenge us? They're truly overestimating themselves. My Moon Blade is Eyeless; it won't show you any mercy."

Dai Mubai retorted:

"Hmph! If you were really that powerful, you wouldn't have surrendered and deserted in front of Tianshui Academy."

"You just wait, see how I deal with you later!"

The two sides were on the verge of battle, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

This is destined to be a fierce competition.
