Chapter 183 The Power of Control-Type Soul Masters (Part 2)

At this crucial moment, Tang San's vital role as a control-type Soul Master and the soul of the team became evident. He abandoned the initiative to attack head-on, and his Blue Silver Grass swiftly extended, following closely behind Xiao Wu. Zhu Zhuqing, who was being pursued and intercepted by two opposing monkey Soul Masters, was also quickly pulled back to his side. Dai Mubai, who had just been forced back by the opponents, was also brought back at the same time. In a short time, the seven members of their team were quickly gathered in one place.

Control-type Soul Masters not only need to control their opponents in battle, but also their own teammates. Tang San's actions at this moment demonstrate his profound understanding of this principle.

Unexpectedly, the six members of the Berserker Squad, who had unleashed their full combat power, did not attack. Instead, they all gathered around the alluring woman and stopped, letting out a sharp shriek.

"You should admit defeat. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what kind of damage I might cause you next." The alluring woman's voice was very pleasant, but her tone was somewhat helpless at this moment.

Meanwhile, the Berserker team members around her were breathing heavily, and the surging soul power created immense pressure.

Dai Mubai coldly retorted, "You want us to admit defeat? Don't dream about it. Show us your skills by defeating us first."

The alluring spider-woman soul master curled her lip in disdain. "If it weren't for the existence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Soul Master, do you think I would waste my breath talking to you? In that case, I can only apologize for the damage I'm about to cause you."

The shriek rang out from her mouth again. The frenzy lasted only three minutes. She dared not delay any longer. The Berserker Team had already achieved seven consecutive victories. As long as they continued to win, the benefits they would gain would be immeasurable. Even if the opponent had a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, they would never give up.

In previous team battles, the Berserker team was able to repeatedly defeat strong enemies because of the existence of this frenzied support skill. It was precisely because most of the team members lost their minds that they often ended up crippling or even killing their opponents.

As the commander, Tang San made a decisive decision: "Everyone, take off!"

Almost simultaneously, the Shrek Seven Devils had a strangely shaped mushroom sausage in their mouths. Just as the Berserker Team was rapidly approaching, the seven of them felt light and, under the influence of wings formed by condensed light and shadow that suddenly appeared behind them, they took off and instantly rose to a height of twenty meters.

The opponents suddenly vanished, leaving the Berserker team members without a target. As the only one still conscious, the Spider Woman Soul Master was terrified. She never imagined that all her opponents possessed the ability to fly.

As they took to the air, each of the Shrek Seven Devils ate a recovery sausage to restore their stamina and soul power. Tang San ignored the opponents below. The Berserker Team had no flying soul masters and were not good at ranged attacks. Even the control-type Spider Woman soul master could not control opponents more than twenty meters away like his Blue Silver Grass.

"Xiao San, what do we do now? The mushroom sausage can only let us fly for a minute, and Oscar can only fly for half a minute." Although Dai Mubai was not afraid of his opponents, he couldn't help but feel powerless as he watched the Berserker Team's Soul Masters, all of whom were above level 35, increase their strength again.

Tang San remained calm and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason their strength suddenly increased is likely due to the thousand-year soul skill released by that support soul master before losing consciousness. It instantly boosted their power. However, have you noticed that, apart from the spider-woman soul master, everyone else has lost their senses? Based on the teacher's summary of the support abilities of support-type soul masters, if I'm not mistaken, their current state won't last long. Just like the mushroom sausage Xiao Ao provided. Moreover, after their current state ends, there will definitely be strong side effects. Otherwise, wouldn't that support-type soul master's martial soul be as powerful as Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Ma Hongjun said, "But what if they haven't recovered from their current state when we land?"

Tang San said in a deep voice, "Then we have no choice but to take a gamble. Victory is certainly what we hope for, but everyone's safety is more important. Given the current state of the Berserker Team, they are no longer a match for us. Xiao Ao, how many mushroom sausages can you come up with?"

Oscar handed one to Tang San first, saying, "I don't have much soul power left. I gave one to Boss Dai during our two-on-two soul battle, and then we each took one. This is the ninth one. I can make one more at most."

Tang San said, "Alright, then you make it for me. Later, when your flying abilities are about to end, all of you step down."

"Xiao San, let me handle this." Dai Mubai now understood Tang San's meaning. He wanted to use the longer flight time to gamble on his opponent's berserk state disappearing first. He was also gambling on the opponent's situation after being backfired by the berserk skill.

Tang San said, "No, I'll do it. Everyone's soul power is quite depleted right now. You're not as good as me at hand-to-hand combat skills. Besides, I have a way to protect myself. Even if the opponent's frenzy lasts longer than I expected, I can still escape the battlefield. Since you're letting me command, just listen to me."

A minute is a very short time, and it was almost over. The berserker team members below clearly showed no signs of letting up.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Spider Woman Soul Master calmed down. As a control-type Soul Master herself, she had extensive combat experience. If only one or two members of the Shrek Seven Devils had taken to the air, it could be understood as them possessing flying Soul Masters. But for all seven to take off simultaneously, it could only mean it was the effect of a skill. Tang San was gambling, and wasn't she also gambling that the opponent's continuous flight time would be shorter than the duration of her own frenzy state?

After handing Tang San the tenth mushroom sausage he could make, Oscar immediately flew off the Soul Arena. His soul power was almost completely depleted; his face was extremely pale, and he was experiencing a profound sense of emptiness and exhaustion. At this moment, the effects of the grueling three months of training became apparent. Although the internal emptiness was extremely uncomfortable, he remained conscious and functioned normally. The side effects of excessive soul power consumption did not manifest significantly.

Half a minute later, all of the Shrek Seven Devils except Tang San flew off the stage, leaving the Battle Arena.

The Spider Woman Soul Master watched them land one by one, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, especially when she saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master fly away from the competition field.

But when she saw that everyone had flown away but Tang San was still left, her expression changed. At this moment, Tang San had already eaten his second mushroom sausage.

"Aren't you leaving the battlefield yet?" The Spider Woman Soul Master smiled seductively, looking up at Tang San in the air.

Tang San smiled calmly, "Although I'm the only one left, who can say that we won't be the final victors?"

At this moment, the audience was in an uproar.

When the Shrek Seven Devils took to the air, it astonished the audience. The sudden stalemate between the two sides elicited both cheers and angry shouts. The cheers were for the extraordinary sight of Soul Masters flying, while the shouts were for the two sides disengaging from their battle and becoming locked in a standoff. And the target of these shouts was, of course, Tang San, floating in the air.

Tang San ignored the audience's reactions, focusing all his attention on observing the Berserker Team. His eyes flashed with purple light; he had activated his Purple Demon Eye.

As Dai Mubai and the others left the Soul Arena, Tang San clearly saw that the Berserker Team members below trembled slightly, their momentum noticeably weakened, and their soul power fluctuations seemed less intense than before. He, of course, didn't know that this was because the first two additional states on the Berserker Team members had disappeared. In his eyes, this was a sign that their fervor was about to subside, naturally boosting his confidence in his judgment.

The Berserker team members, who had lost their minds, kept shouting below, while the Spider Woman Soul Master's gaze remained fixed on Tang San. Both sides were waiting, waiting for the situation they desired to see to occur in the other.

In the end, Tang San had the last laugh. Shortly after eating the third mushroom sausage, just as he was about to give up, the members of the Berserker Team collectively trembled. Except for the Spider Woman Soul Master, the madness in the eyes of the other five gradually disappeared, revealing a bewildered expression, and the light in their eyes gradually became clear. Moreover, the fluctuations of their soul power decreased sharply.

It's done. Tang San was overjoyed, but he remained vigilant. He didn't want to be misled by his opponent and suffer defeat.

The Spider Woman Soul Master's expression changed. Although her body was also trembling, the tremor was not as severe as her companions'. However, her soul power still dropped by more than half, and she looked noticeably weaker.

The high-speed flight effect provided by the mushroom sausage finally disappeared, and Tang San slowly floated to the ground. Thanks to the recovery effect of Oscar's sausage, his physical strength had been restored to its peak, and his soul power had also recovered from the previous consumption to more than 40%.

"Just as I expected, you still can't keep flying." The Spider Woman Soul Master appeared very calm. She didn't look at her pale-faced companions who were suffering from the pain caused by the depletion of their soul power. She kept staring at Tang San, seemingly having regained her sharpness.

Tang San smiled calmly, "Aren't you the same? Your current state can't last too long. If I'm not mistaken, even if your support-type Soul Master hadn't been unconscious, he should only be able to use this skill once."
