Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 172 Tang San's wool has been completely plucked.

In their final qualifier, Shrek Team finally faced off against the most formidable Tianshui Team.

That morning, Yu Xiaogang gathered the little monsters in the Shrek team's rest room and gave them a pep talk.

"Xiao San, we've already secured a top-five finish in the qualifiers. There's no need for us to clash with the Tianshui team led by that freak Ye Liangchen. I suggest you forfeit the competition."

Yu Xiaogang was worried that Tang San would get injured in the match against the Tianshui team, so he persuaded his disciple to give up the match.

"Teacher, since we've participated in the competition, we'll have to face each other sooner or later. If we keep avoiding the fight, it will make us look scared. People are already saying that we're a cowardly team that backs down when facing strong opponents. I can't stand that."

"Master, Ye Liangchen was right before. If you encounter a strong opponent, you must dare to fight in order to go further."

"Uncle, I was once humiliated by Ye Liangchen using his identity as Lan Chen. Back then, he didn't even use his martial spirit. Now that we've met again, we naturally have to fight."

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Yu Tianheng did not want to withdraw from the competition. The three of them were a little unhappy with Yu Xiaogang's secretive arrangements. Since they had participated in the Soul Master Competition, they had to fight.

"Master, my flames should be able to counter the water-attribute martial soul of the Tianshui team, right?"

"Let those beauties in the Tianshui team witness my Phoenix Fire."

Ma Hongjun patted his round body, thinking of the group of beautiful women in the Tianshui team, and his lustful desire rose uncontrollably. So he also asked to join the battle.

"Hongjun, control yourself, or you'll embarrass yourself."

Flander reminded Fatty Ma that in order to suppress his lustful desires, the kid went to the brothel almost every night to play cards with Phoenix. Now everyone called Fatty Ma the "Brothel Phoenix," which made Flander very embarrassed.

"Hahaha…!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Fatty Ma's lewd appearance, especially Dai Mubai. He remembered that he had gone to a brothel with this guy last night to play cards with beautiful women. Each game only lasted for a dozen seconds. He didn't expect that this guy would start to explode again when talking about beautiful women.

"I had no choice! My anger flared up, and I couldn't control it!"

Fatty Ma didn't have the Phoenix Sunflower Immortal Grass to evolve his martial soul, so he couldn't purify his Phoenix Flame. As his soul power increased, the evil fire grew stronger, which bothered him a lot.

"Xiao San, since we're going to fight, you should arrange the personnel to go!" Yu Xiaogang solemnly gestured to Tang San.

"This match will be fought by me, Xiao Wu, Brother Tianheng, Mu Bai, Sister Zhu, Fatty, and Rongrong!"

"Mu Bai and his companion can also use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Maybe we can even defeat the Tianshui Team and create a miracle!"

Tang San confidently devised a strategy, believing that the Tianshui Academy team, lacking a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, would definitely be unable to withstand Dai Mubai and Zhu Xiaomei's Netherworld White Tiger attack.

"The match between Tianshui Team and Shrek Team is about to begin."

"Both teams, please get ready."

At this moment, the host, DouDou, flew onto the Soul Fighting Arena and announced the start of the competition.

"Wow...! The Shrek Academy team didn't give up? They've already lost all four matches against the other four teams from the Five Elements Academy. I really don't know where they got the courage to challenge the Skywater Academy team?"

"Do they want to shed their 'soft team' reputation?"

"I have to say, the Shrek team is incredibly brave!"

When the audience heard that the Shrek team was going to challenge the Tianshui team, they all made various sarcastic remarks.

"Xiao Chen, what do you think of Shrek Team's challenge?"

In the rest room of the Tianshui team, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu and others looked at Ye Liangchen.

"Dai Mubai and Zhu Xiaomei will fight together and can use their Spirit Fusion Skill. Yu Tianheng, Tang San, and Xiao Wu are all Spirit Masters, so their strength is not low. In addition, Fatty Ma and Ning Rongrong should also fight. This is their strongest lineup. Tang San will likely use his hammer spirit in this match, so you guys need to be careful. Although his hammer doesn't have any spirit rings, its attack power is still very strong."

After analyzing the opponent, Ye Liangchen directly arranged for Shui Bing'er, Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, Shen Liuyu, and Zhu Zhuqing to fight, along with himself.

"The match between Shrek Team and Tianshui Team begins. Please welcome the participating teams to the stage."

At this moment, the host, DouDou, announced the start of the competition, which reignited the atmosphere in the Grand Arena.

"Let's go! Let's go and meet the Shrek team."

Ye Liangchen led the group of women to the center of the Soul Fighting Arena to prepare for the final match of the preliminary rounds.

"Tianshui Team is invincible... Tianshui Team is invincible..."

As the two teams arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena, the audience erupted in a tsunami of cheers, waving flags and shouting for the Tianshui team.

"Shh... Shrek Team is so brave! I really don't know what they have to offer in a fight against Tianshui Team?"

The Shrek team was ignored by the crowd, and some even booed and mocked them, which made the faces of Emperor Xueye and the three teachers in the VIP seats look rather unpleasant.

Ning Rongrong also participated in the battle with the Shrek team this time, and Ning Fengzhi's expression was not good when he saw this scene.

"Yu Tianheng, why aren't you staying in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's first team? Why did you come to the Shrek Academy team? In Heaven Dou's Royal First Team, you could practically coast into the finals!"

Looking at Yu Tianheng's uncomfortable face, Ye Liangchen asked curiously, "Is this guy out of his mind? Running to the Shrek Academy team to enjoy the audience's insults is too shameless."

"Only by joining the Shrek Team can we fight non-stop."

Yu Tianheng actually regretted joining the Shrek Academy team. He didn't expect that Tang San's crazy actions would damage the team's reputation.

"That makes sense. When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors."

"Then I wish you good luck!"

Ye Liangchen casually spouted a series of profound and unfathomable principles, leaving the Shrek team members completely bewildered.

"Damn it! I've been tricked by this guy again," Tang San roared indignantly.

"Both sides release their martial spirits, the match begins." After saying this, the host DouDou immediately flew out of the center of the arena.

"hold head high…"

"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, appear!"

Yu Tianheng was the first to summon his martial soul. After the martial soul possessed him, his hands transformed into dragon claws, and his whole body was surrounded by lightning, making him extremely powerful.

"Awooo..."

"Meow..."

Dai Mubai and Zhu Xiaomei also summoned their martial spirits, and for a moment, the cries of cats and tigers echoed throughout the Soul Fighting Arena.

"Evil Phoenix"

"Chirp chirp..."

Fatty Ma was burning with desire as he looked at the six beauties of the Tianshui team, his eyes practically popping out of his head. But when Tang San gave him a cold glare, he immediately suppressed his burning desire and summoned his Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

"Buzzing..."

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong also summoned their martial souls and prepared for battle.

"Chirp chirp..."

"Swish..."

"Roar..."

"Miaowu..."

On the Tianshui team's side, Shui Bing'er, Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, Shen Liuyu, and Zhu Zhuqing also summoned their martial souls. Ye Liangchen stepped back a few steps, letting the girls fight the Shrek team first.

"This aura..."

As soon as Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul appeared, Dai Mubai's martial soul felt a sense of oppression and felt extremely frustrated.

"Shrek Team, bring it on!" Yu Hairou said to the other side.

"Swish..."

"First, strength; second, speed; third, spirit."

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul lit up several soul rings, activating skills to provide support to her teammates and increase everyone's strength.

"attack…"

After Tang San and the others improved their strength, they immediately ordered their team members to charge towards the Tianshui team, leaving only Ma Hongjun to protect Ning Rongrong.

"Perfect timing, Ice Ring Armor."

"Raging waves"

"Netherworld God Slash"

"A fierce attack..."

Shui Bing'er, Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, Shen Liuyu, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately launched an attack.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Even with the amplification from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, our attack power is still inferior to theirs."

The Shrek team members used their soul skills to test Shui Bing'er and the others' attacks, and each of them took a step back.

"Xiao Wu, let's work together to deal with Ye Liangchen."

"Okay! Third Brother, let me get close. I'll use the Eight-Segment Explosive Throw to deal with him and knock that pretty boy down."

Tang San and Xiao Wu discussed it briefly and immediately joined forces to attack Ye Liangchen.

"Meteor Hammer."

Tang San wrapped the Blue Silver Grass around Xiao Wu's waist and flung her toward Ye Liangchen.

Third Soul Skill: Teleportation.

"Second Soul Skill: Charm"

The little rabbit activated its teleportation soul skill and suddenly appeared next to Ye Liangchen, preparing to use Charm + Waist Bow + Explosive Eight-Stage Throw to deal with this guy.

Seeing the little rabbit teleport to his side and launch a charm attack on him, Ye Liangchen's lips curled into a smirk. He mobilized his ice power, instantly freezing the surrounding air and turning the little rabbit into an icicle.

"Ah...smack..."

The little rabbit instantly transformed into a human-shaped popsicle and fell from several meters in the air onto the arena with a loud bang.

"No... Xiao Wu... no..."

Xiao Wu, who had fallen to the ground, was still a large lump of ice. At first, her eyes would move slightly, but as Ye Liangchen increased his control over the ice power, she became completely immobilized and frozen inside, without any reaction. This terrified Tang San.

"The power of ice elements?"

"Ye Liangchen can use ice elemental power? How did he do that?"

In the audience, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Xue Ye, and others watched all of this and exclaimed in disbelief.

"He can use wind element too, and now he's using ice element power. Could he also have fire element power?" Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others were astonished to see Ye Liangchen come up with another new skill.

"Tang San, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

Ye Liangchen strolled forward leisurely, and with each step, an ice dragon formed from ice appeared beneath his feet, rapidly spreading forward. This scene was somewhat reminiscent of Bai Yifei's (the most powerful character in the TV series "Nine Songs of the Sky") boastful display of power—very cool indeed.

"Wow! His skills are amazing!"

The audience stood up and cheered as they watched Ye Liangchen's incredibly cool performance. Even Shui Bing'er, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and others stopped their own battles to watch Ye Liangchen's dazzling skills.

"Shui Lanxin, can you do what Xiao Chen does?" On the other side of the audience, Bibi Dong used her soul power to force a sound transmission to Shui Lanxin.

"My control over ice elements is different from Xiao Chen's; he seems to be able to do it at will."

Shui Lanxin had no idea how the little guy managed to do it; she had never seen such a cool skill before.

"Ye Liangchen, what have you done to my Xiaowu?"

"Bang bang bang..."

Tang San saw that Xiao Wu, the humanoid popsicle, was motionless and assumed that the little rabbit was dead. He directly punched the humanoid popsicle, trying to rescue Xiao Wu. However, the power of ice was controlled by Ye Liangchen's strong mental and soul power, making it as hard as iron, and he could not break it with his fist.

"Tang San, you can't save the frozen rabbit by fighting like that," Ye Liangchen teased from the side.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen reached out and sucked on Xiao Wu's humanoid popsicle. In an instant, the ice on Xiao Wu's body disappeared, but a chill remained on her body, allowing her to enjoy it.

"Ah...! Third...Third Brother...I...I'm...freezing to death."

"Help...help...me...get revenge."

After breathing in the fresh air, Xiao Wu finally caught her breath. At this moment, there was a layer of frost on her hair, eyebrows, face, and body, causing her to tremble all over, her teeth to chatter, and her speech to be unclear.

"Ahhh...! Ye Liangchen, you dare to hurt my Xiaowu, you're asking for death!"

Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Binding

Seeing Xiao Wu crouching on the ground, trembling with her arms crossed, Tang San's anger instantly surged. His eyes turned purple, and like a venomous snake, he transformed into the Thousand-Handed Asura and launched an attack on Ye Liangchen.

"Manyo no Hikaru no Flow"

"Swish..."

The thousands of green leaves that Ye Liangchen conjured with his hands resembled giant green pythons, entangled with Tang San's third skill.

"Bang bang..."

After the Myriad Leaves Flying Flowers technique shattered Tang San's third soul skill, its offensive momentum did not diminish, and it directly entangled the opponent again.

"Swish..."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen summoned his martial soul, and his third soul ring of ten thousand years lit up as he used the Life Absorption Soul Skill.

"Buzzing..."

In an instant, a green light enveloped Tang San. Ye Liangchen closed his eyes, and with a thought, directly extracted the only Blue Silver Emperor bloodline from Tang San's body. He sensed some images in Tang San's soul and also extracted some memories about the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. However, he did not extract Tang San's life force, otherwise, his hair would turn white, and others would notice something was wrong.

Enter the village quietly, don't fire.

"What kind of skill is this?"

When Tang San was enveloped by the green light emitted by Ye Liangchen's third soul skill, he couldn't help but shiver, his legs felt weak, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Swish..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen directly retrieved the two orbs of light extracted from Tang San's body into his game inventory, thinking: Tang San, I've taken all the last bit of wool from you. Now you're in for a treat.

Tang San had been hit by Ye Liangchen's third soul skill and felt a chill down his back, but after a while, he didn't feel any discomfort, only a slight feeling of weakness. So he immediately activated the Blue Silver Cage to try and trap Ye Liangchen.

Fourth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Cage.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Dance of the Wind Swords"

"Click...click..."

"Tang San, your fourth soul skill is trash, it's terrible."

Ye Liangchen unleashed the Dance of Wind Swords, shattering Tang San's Blue Silver Cage in a few swift movements.

"hateful!"

"Boom... Sizzle..."

At this moment, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, who was still squatting on the ground trembling, and his anger instantly surged again. He summoned his hammer spirit and smashed it at Ye Liangchen.

"Ye Liangchen, you forced me to do this."

"Disheveled Cloak"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"One hammer blow... two hammer blows... three hammer blows... hammer blow hammer blow..."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Seeing that Tang San had used his hammer spirit so quickly, Ye Liangchen used the Five Elements Illusion Steps to avoid Tang San's hammer attack.

Where are they?!

Tang San swung his hammer at the air dozens of times, but Ye Liangchen was nowhere to be seen.

"Tang San, aren't you tired after swinging that hammer for so long?"

At this moment, Ye Liangchen hovered above Tang San's head, his pair of divine wings flapping continuously. He looked at the guy holding the hammer, panting heavily, with a mocking expression, finding it very comical.

"Is this the Haotian Hammer?"

Xueye, the three education committee members, Salas, and others in the audience were all shocked when they saw Tang San holding a black hammer.

"Your Majesty, Tang San is the son of Haotian Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi explained to Emperor Xueye, a hint of envy on his face. He also wished he had a son like that. However, when he saw Ye Liangchen flying above Tang San's head, a look of envy and jealousy appeared on his face.
