Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 171 The Intense Match

Tang San's final oath shocked everyone. He actually used his parents and teachers to make a solemn oath. This kid is ruthless.

"Pfft...! Cough cough cough..."

"This unfilial son actually dared to use his father as a poisonous oath."

"Your temperament isn't good enough! You need to work on it!"

Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao heard Tang San shout out the poisonous oath using the soul-guided megaphone, and choked on the wine he had just drunk.

After Tang San made the solemn oath, he calmly returned to the Shrek Academy team's rest room, feeling both angry and aggrieved: Who can know the suffering I endured in the Seven Asura Illusions? All of you who mocked me are courting death.

"You're too ruthless, mistress! You even used a master to make a poisonous oath."

Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Oscar and the others found it unbelievable that Tang San had made such a solemn oath at the end.

Zhao Wuji was secretly laughing his head off, but he was too embarrassed to laugh in front of everyone. His dark face turned red from holding back his laughter, making him look quite comical.

"Teacher, please don't blame me."

Tang San respectfully apologized to Yu Xiaogang, thinking to himself: "Once a teacher, always a father. You are my father, so if my whole family dies, that includes you."

"Don't worry about the mistress, the teacher understands."

Yu Xiaogang placed all his hopes on Tang San, treating him like his own son. If his son made a mistake, the father also felt responsible.

The fact that the Shrek team was not punished displeased Canghui Academy, so they went directly to Salas to ask why the Shrek team was punished so lightly.

"Bishop Salas, I don't understand why your organizing committee is protecting Team Shrek? We are the victims; our four seriously injured members are still in bed!"

Ye Zhi Qiu and a group of Cang Hui team members came to the organizing committee, wanting to seek justice.

"Your Canghui Academy's Shi Nian attempted to assassinate the geniuses of the five elements yesterday, but he has already been killed by their protectors. What more do you want? Do you need me to expose this matter?"

"Ye Zhi Qiu, teach your students how to behave properly and stop them from doing such immoral things, or Cang Hui Academy will be disqualified from the competition."

Salas already knows what happened. Yesterday, Canmeng Shinian was about to make a move against Young Master Ye, but he was killed by Pope Bibi Dong.

"Teacher Shi Nian is dead?" The members of the Canghui team were stunned. He was their teacher.

"go back."

Ye Zhi Qiu immediately led the students away, no longer daring to demand any justice.

The conflict between Shrek Academy and Canghui Academy came to an end. Canghui Academy suffered a silent loss, unable to express their grievances. Tang San was condemned by the public and earned the title of a despicable and shameless person. Shrek Academy, too, suffered a sharp decline in reputation due to Tang San's outrageous actions and was discriminated against by other teams.

Now no company dares to ask Shrek Academy to play GG anymore, which is driving Flander crazy. He wanted to use his previous fame to earn a GG fee, but all of that was lost because of Tang San's shot.

……

"The next match will be between Tianshui Academy and Elephant Armor Academy."

"Both teams belong to the Five Elements Academy, let's give them a round of applause."

The competition continued, and with the announcement from the host DouDou, the competition between the five elemental academies began.

"Wow...! Wow...! Tianshui Team... Tianshui Team..."

As soon as the audience heard that the Tianshui team was going to have a match, they went wild, erupting in a tsunami of cheers and shouts for the Tianshui team.

"Brother Ye, your popularity is just too high."

"Go easy on us, don't make it too ugly for us."

"Let's witness the combat power of a Soul King."

After the two teams met, Hu Yanli of the Elephant Armor team clasped his hands in a salute to Ye Liangchen. He did not intend to admit defeat and prepared to lead his team to compete against the Tianshui team.

"Don't worry! We know what we're doing."

"This is just an ordinary competition in everyone's life. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. When you encounter strong opponents, you must dare to fight and constantly challenge yourselves in order to go further."

Ye Liangchen also clasped his hands in a salute to Huyanli and said some encouraging words, saying that although this beast was tall and strong, his character was still good.

"Thank you, Brother Ye."

Ye Liangchen's words filled Hu Yanli and his team with awe, making them feel that the other party was a true master.

"Hiss! Such a high level of mind at such a young age, truly a peerless prodigy."

The audience was stunned by Ye Liangchen's words. Could a 14-year-old boy really say such a thing? Even many Title Douluo probably don't have this kind of mindset!

"See? This is Brother Ye. His words contain the truth."

Feng Xiaotian, watching from the stands, was almost becoming a fan of Ye Liangchen, who possessed the demeanor of a peerless master.

"Sect Leader Huyan, your Elephant Armor Team has encountered the Tianshui Team. Can you break their undefeated record?"

In the VIP section, Ning Fengzhi made a joke to Tianxiang Huyanzhen.

"Sect Leader Ning, how could you, as the head of a sect, ask such a foolish question?"

"Although Ali and his team are no match for the Tianshui team, just as Young Friend Ye said, they must constantly challenge themselves in order to go further. For Ali and his team, being able to fight against the Tianshui team is also a kind of gain."

Hu Yanzhen calmly refuted Ning Fengzhi, knowing that the other party just wanted to mock him.

Hu Yanzhen wasn't worried about the Elephant Armor Team at all. After all, the two healing-type Soul Masters of the Tianshui Team would heal each other after the match, so it wouldn't affect the next match. Losing to the Tianshui Team wasn't shameful.

"Roar..."

At this moment, the members of the Elephant Armor Team unleashed their Diamond Mammoth Martial Souls.

Hu Yanli's soul power has now reached level 43. In addition, there are two other team members who are at level 41 and 42 respectively. The other four are all around level 38. In addition, they are the super defense of the Diamond Mammoth. In the competition, they only lost to Cang Hui, Lei Ting and Shen Feng. Their current record is not bad.

"Chirp chirp..."

"Giggle..."

"hold head high…"

"roar…"

"Buzzing..."

"Swish..."

The Tianshui team's lineup for this match includes Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Dugu Yan, Shen Liuyu, and Ye Liangchen, the super support player.

"The Goddess of Tianshui is amazing."

"Brother Ye's martial soul is so beautiful, and his spirit rings are so powerful."

The appearance of Shui Bing'er and her sister's fourth soul, which has lasted for ten thousand years, and Ye Liangchen's martial soul always elicits gasps of amazement from the audience.

"First Soul Skill: Iron Wall".

"Moo... Roar..."

After the Elephant Armor Team members were imbued with their martial spirits, they transformed into towering elephant spirits and immediately unleashed their first soul skill. A yellowish-brown shield appeared in front of each team member, and they attacked the Skywater Team members. This time, they were smarter and did not line up in a row, but instead spread out.

"Golden Crocodile Tail Swing"

"Dragon Probing its Claws"

"Fish and Dragon Strikes"

Shen Liuyu, Dugu Yan, and Yu Hairou, three powerful attackers, took the lead in attacking the Elephant Armor team members.

"Knock knock knock..."

The three women's first soul skills struck Hu Yanli and the others' shields, producing a thud, but surprisingly, they didn't break.

"Huyan Li, your defense is strong enough. I won't use my martial spirit. How about we fight one-on-one?"

Looking at Hu Yanli's tall figure, Ye Liangchen decided to stage a scene of Huo Yuanjia fighting against a foreign strongman.

"Brother Ye, come on."

Upon hearing that such a good thing existed, Hu Yanli immediately became interested.

"Huff huff..."

Ye Liangchen flashed forward and rushed towards Huyan Li, unleashing a Black Tiger Claw attack.

"roar…"

Ye Liangchen's Tiger Fist transformed into a giant tiger claw, reaching out to grab his opponent.

"Bang…"

Hu Yanli took a direct hit from Ye Liangchen's Tiger-Walking Fist, and after taking two steps back, he was extremely shocked by the opponent's astonishing strength.

"Brother Ye, what kind of skill is that?" Hu Yanli asked curiously.

"This is the Tiger Fist I learned from watching tigers kill their enemies," Ye Liangchen said in a serious tone, before unleashing the Five Elements Divine Fist.

"The tiger is majestic, a fierce tiger descends the mountain, a black tiger rips out the heart... a golden snake emerges from its cave..."

"Whoosh... Roar... Chirp... Ang..."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen's punches sometimes transformed into a dragon shadow, its dragon might shaking the heavens; sometimes into a snake, agile and cunning; sometimes into a tiger, with boundless strength; sometimes into a leopard, incredibly swift; and sometimes into a crane, its movements light and agile, constantly attacking Hu Yanli.

"What kind of skill is this?"

"Could it be another self-created skill?"

In the audience, everyone was stunned by the five divine fist techniques Ye Liangchen unleashed, their eyes dazzled by the spectacle.

"Second Soul Skill, Holy Elephant Charge"

Third Soul Skill: Mammoth Stomp

Fourth Soul Skill: Roar of the Holy Elephant

"Roar..."

Hu Yanli was also going all out, constantly unleashing his four soul skills to fight Ye Liangchen.

"Ten thousand leaves fly and flowers flow."

"Hurry up and attack! What are you all standing around looking at us for?"

Ye Liangchen unleashed the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow, transforming into thousands of green leaves that resembled giant green pythons, which strangled Hu Yanli. Then, he shouted to the stunned Shui Bing'er and the other Elephant Armor team members.

"Okay! Coming right away." Both teams immediately got into position again and began their battle of wits.

Second Soul Skill: Ice Ring Armor

Shui Bing'er activated her second soul skill, applying a layer of armor to her sisters, but her boyfriend was exempt.

"Snowflakes dancing in the air"

"Raging waves"

"The Dragon Crossing the Sea"

"Fleeting Time"

Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, Yu Hairou, Dugu Yan, and Shen Liuyu also activated their soul skills and attacked the rest of the Elephant Armor Team.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Elephant Team's beasts had incredibly strong defenses. The women's first three soul skills didn't do much damage to them. The women then used their agility to fight them off the enemy, avoiding direct confrontation.

"Brother Ye, be careful, this is my last trump card."

Hu Yanli's four soul skills couldn't have any effect on Ye Liangchen, so he could only use the ten-thousand-year soul bone skill.

"Suppress and crush..."

"roar…"

A mammoth roar resounded, and Huyan Li's head was covered by an elephant-head-like armor with two huge tusks. The roar created a powerful atmospheric pressure in the air within a ten-meter radius, pressing down on Ye Liangchen.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen knew that this guy had a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone, but he didn't expect the other party to use it now. So he used the Five Elements Bewildering Steps to quickly escape from Hu Yanli's killing range.

"This is a soul bone!" In the stands, Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi and others were stunned, and some soul masters even showed greedy expressions.

"That brat!" Hu Yanzhen was also helpless about his eldest grandson revealing his soul bone.

"Dance of the Wind Swords"

"Huff huff..."

Ye Liangchen mobilized the power of the wind element, condensing it into a wind sword. With his powerful mental strength, he controlled the wind sword, constantly stirring the air. In an instant, a tornado formed on the arena, and a strong wind arose.

"This...this is the power of wind element?"

"Could it be from the past two years?"

Feng Xiaotian was stunned. He never expected that Ye Liangchen had actually comprehended the power of the wind element. It was unbelievable.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Ah... Brother Ye, I admit defeat."

Hu Yanli's soul power could no longer hold, and he collapsed to the ground after being slashed several times by the wind sword.

"Rain of Ice Arrows"

"Ah ah..."

At the same time, Shui Bing'er's fourth area-of-effect attack skill also hit six members of the Elephant Armor team, causing them to be injured.

"Elephant Team concedes defeat."

Seeing that his teammates had also fallen down, Hu Yanli shouted loudly to the host.

"Team Tianshui wins." Host DouDou announced the result of the match.

"Life is being restored."

Ye Liangchen activated his fifth soul skill to heal the entire Elephant Armor Team, and in no time, the entire team was fully restored to health.

"Thank you, Brother Ye."

Hu Yanli and the others clasped their hands in a salute to Ye Liangchen, then walked off the stage. Although they lost the match, it was worth it.

"You are welcome."

Ye Liangchen led Shui Bing'er and the others back to the lounge. This time, he revealed five divine fist techniques, which made many people in the audience stare in disbelief, especially Tang San. At this moment, he was thinking to himself, why is the opponent's divine fist so strange? It is like the fist techniques of the world in his previous life, but it is slightly different.

"Hey, mistress, can you tell what skill Ye Liangchen used?"

Yu Xiaogang asked curiously, "Ye Liangchen defeated Hu Yanli, who was at level 43, without even using his martial spirit. His strength is too great."

"Teacher, I don't know either. Maybe it's a skill he invented himself."

Tang San dodged the question, thinking to himself, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" However, he also possessed various martial arts techniques from his own Xuan Tian Bao Lu, which he believed were no weaker than his opponent's.

……

Another ten days or so passed, and the qualifiers continued. Only one match remained out of the 27 qualifiers.

During this period, the only strong teams that Tianshui team has encountered are Thunder and Blazing Fire. As for Shenfeng team, they haven't faced them yet and will probably only meet them in the promotion rounds.

With this, the Tianshui team achieved a 26-game winning streak. Feng Xiaotian deliberately threw one game to Huowu, resulting in a 25-1 record, ranking second. Leiting had a 24-2 record, ranking third. Chihuo had a 23-3 record, ranking fourth. Shrek team had a 22-4 record, ranking fifth.

Team Elephant A faced four teams from Five Elements Academy and lost all of them. In addition to their previous losses to Canghui, Plant Team, and another random team, their record was 19 wins and 7 losses, failing to make it into the top five.

Shrek team lost all three matches against the Five Elements Academy's Blazing Fire, Thunder, and Elephant Armor teams. In addition, they committed a foul in their previous match against Canghui Academy. Now they have a record of 22 wins and 4 losses, ranking fifth.

They haven't encountered Tianshui and Shenfeng yet. Salas follows Ye Liangchen's arrangement, and in the end, Shrek Team will face Tianshui Team.

Without the support of ice and fire herbs, and unable to use his hammer spirit, Tang San made a poor tactical decision when facing the Blazing Fire Team, failing to send Yu Tianheng onto the field. As a result, he was almost roasted by Huo Wu's Blazing Sun spirit skill.

When fighting the Elephant Armor Team, they forgot to arrange for Zhu Xiaomei to be with Dai Mubai, so they couldn't use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. As a result, when they used Oscar's Flying Sausage, they were directly defeated by Hu Yanli and his team's combination skill of 100% kinetic energy and 100% rotation speed, which launched a meatball attack.

When facing the Thunder Team, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin suffered heavy losses. Lei Dong, Lei Tian and his group defeated Dai Mubai, Tang San and others. The current Shrek Team is a team that gets weak when facing strong opponents, and is also jokingly called the "softie team".

"Big hammer 80, small hammer 40, big hammer 80, small hammer 40,..."

That night, Tang San was practicing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian in the forest of the academy.

"Daddy, why didn't you let me use the hammer spirit? Otherwise, we wouldn't have failed against those three elemental teams. We only ranked fifth in the preliminaries."

After practicing his hammer technique for a while, Tang San complained that his father was too conservative.

"Little San, as long as you get into the top 5 in the Tiandou Division qualifiers, you'll qualify. Don't think too much about it. It doesn't matter if you don't get a higher ranking."

"After the preliminary rounds are over, you'll have about a month to rest and recuperate. Then we'll add spirit rings to your hammer spirit, and you'll definitely be able to break through the encirclement. You might even be able to compete for the championship."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang Dachui comforted Tang San, telling him to stay calm and not panic.

Tang Dachui learned from Tang Yuehua that the Spirit Hall was not suppressing the Clear Sky Sect as severely, and he thought that the Spirit Hall no longer took the Clear Sky Sect seriously.

"Ye Liangchen's skills are truly amazing. After I add spirit rings to my hammer, will I be able to defeat him?"

During this period, Tang San saw Ye Liangchen easily defeating one opponent after another using the Myriad Leaves Flying Flower Flow and Wind Sword Dance, without even using his martial soul. To be honest, Tang San himself was not confident.

"Smack...!"

"Mistress, you need to have confidence. Ye Liangchen was right a while ago. When you encounter a strong opponent, you need to dare to fight in order to go further."

"You possess the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. If you're already scared before even fighting, you should come back to the village with me and forge iron! Don't bother with any more cultivation!"

Tang Hao slapped Tang San across the face to wake him up.

"I understand, Daddy."

"Small hammer 40, big hammer 80, small hammer 40, big hammer 80..."

Tang San was slapped by his father, and his face immediately stung. At the same time, his mind cleared up, and he immediately began to practice his hammer technique seriously again.
