Chapter 355 Seven-in-One Fusion Technique (Part 2)

No one could see what was happening on the central arena at that moment; all they could see was the dazzling seven-colored beam of light.

Tang San stood silently in place, his opponents' voices echoing from all directions: "You're too naive. Did you think you could stop our Seven Asura Illusions with your eyes closed? We've waited far too long for this day. Bear the most despicable things in your hearts. The torment will cause you unbearable pain until you go mad. This is the price you pay for insulting us. Don't worry, we'll show mercy and spare your lives."

Aside from Tang San, the other seven members of the Shrek Academy team still had their eyes closed. Tang San sighed softly and said calmly, "You're the ones who are naive. Do you really think this simple illusion can trap us? Compared to Shi Nian's seventh soul skill, Nightmare, your seven-in-one fusion technique is far inferior."

Indeed, while this seven-in-one fusion technique appears dazzling and magnificent, and various illusions have begun to form in everyone's minds, compared to Shi Nian's illusionary soul skill used to assassinate Tang San, their illusionary soul skill is far too superficial. It is fundamentally inferior.

The seven-colored light trembled violently, and even the illusion in the minds of the Shrek Academy students blurred a bit. Clearly, Tang San's words dealt a heavy blow to his opponent.

"Where is Teacher Shi Nian?" Although he couldn't see him, he could tell from the voice that it was the anxious voice of the captain of the Canghui Academy team.

Tang San said calmly, "You're his students, aren't you? You want to see him? I won't give you the chance. Don't worry, we'll show mercy and spare your lives. So, you won't see him yet."

The time was almost up, and Tang San suddenly moved. His figure rose into the air amidst colorful light, and he kicked out six times in a row. These six kicks were not aimed at the enemy, but rather at the backs of his companions.

The six people were simultaneously sent flying in six different directions, each spitting out a mouthful of blood. Meanwhile, Tang San, still in mid-air, had his eyes turn a deep purple-gold, unleashing beams of light over a foot long that flashed from seven different directions.

Almost simultaneously, screams rang out. As Tang San's body fell from the sky, he lightly patted his chest, and a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

The colorful light faded, and everything around became clear again. The enormous seven-colored pillar of light had vanished into thin air. Of the fourteen people who had originally stood on the arena, only one remained standing: Tang San.

The audience caught the other six members of the Shrek Academy team coughing up blood the instant the colorful light disappeared. They were all slumped on the ground, clearly unable to fight.

Meanwhile, their opponents, the seven members of the Canghui Academy team, had already left their previous positions and were now scattered in seven different directions on the arena. These seven people had also fallen to the ground, but unlike the Shrek Academy team, their bodies were convulsing violently, foaming at the mouth, and their eyes were rolling back.

It was like having an epileptic seizure.

Tang San's face looked very pale, and his steps were unsteady, swaying from time to time, but his gaze remained firm, as if telling everyone that he was the final victor.

A commotion erupted; both the stands and the VIP areas were in complete chaos.

Those Soul Masters who had assumed the seven members of Canghui Academy had used a Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill were especially astonished. When the colorful light enveloped the Shrek Academy members, they all thought the match was over.

But to everyone's surprise, Shrek Academy team once again delivered a delightful surprise. Even Canghui Academy's seemingly miraculous "divine skill" failed them.

The referee trembled slightly when announcing the final result. After evaluation by several senior experts in the Soul Master world, the conclusion reached by the Canghui Academy team was that their Soul Skill had suffered a backlash.

Although the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament explicitly prohibits crippling or killing opponents, who can be blamed for this backlash from the soul skill?

The Canghui Academy team members were carried off the stage by their own people, while Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun from Shrek Academy rushed up as well. Just as Ning Rongrong was about to release her martial soul to amplify everyone's power, disregarding the risk of exposure, Tang San stopped her with a look.

The four of them together struggled to help the six fallen men off the stage.

They were greeted with cheers from the audience as if they were heroes. The Shrek team once again defended their position with their strength. Their twelve-game winning streak was equally unparalleled.

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Dai Mubai, who was being helped up, couldn't help but say, "Little San, you're too ruthless."

At this moment, Dai Mubai was walking with difficulty, supported by Ma Hongjun. Of course, the word "difficult" was self-inflicted. With his head down, no one could see the expression on his face.

Beside Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, supported by Ning Rongrong, also kept her head down and couldn't help but ask, "Boss Dai, what are you saying! Xiao San didn't use any force. Didn't we force that blood out ourselves? Is he giving you special treatment?"

Dai Mubai tilted his head slightly and glanced at Tang San, who had no expression on his face. "I'm not saying he's ruthless towards us, but towards those seven people from Canghui Academy. Those seven people are probably crippled."

Whether it was the Shrek Seven Devils or the four substitute players led by Tyrone, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

Tang San spoke calmly in a voice only the others could hear: "They are destined never to be our friends. In that case, how can I allow these threats to exist around us? What will you do if you encounter them while I'm away? If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."

Of course, there was another reason. Tang San was incredibly intelligent. From the moment these Canghui Academy team members made their move, he realized that these seven people were very likely the direct disciples of Shi Nian, the Soul Master of the Broken Dream who had died at his hands. The impression Shi Nian had left on him was too deep. Although he had successfully killed him, he could never forget the tragedy of Xiao Wu in the illusion that Shi Nian had brought him. He would never allow that situation to actually happen.

It seems that he easily broke through the seven-in-one fusion technique of the Canghui Academy team members, but if he didn't have an ability that could counter his opponents, the outcome would have been completely different.

The conflict between the two sides can be said to be irreconcilable. If these people find out that Shi Nian went to kill him but never returned, they will definitely come to avenge their teacher.

After weighing the options, Tang San finally took drastic measures.

One reason was to eliminate future troubles; the other was that he believed that if he showed mercy, the seven members of Canghui Academy would surely guess that Shi Nian's disappearance was closely related to him.

Now, however, they can never reveal this secret again. What happened within that seven-colored light is not even fully known to the other six of the seven Shrek Academy members who participated.

This secret will naturally remain hidden.

When Tang San first saw the opponent's Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, he was also extremely shocked. As a disciple of the Grandmaster, he immediately judged that it was not a Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique. However, the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique launched by the seven opponents at the same time would still cause them great trouble.

However, his heart soon calmed down.

The Seven Asura Illusion is ultimately just an illusion. His Purple Demon Eye's ability to dispel all illusions gave him complete confidence in victory. That's why he didn't rush to have his companions take action.

Compared to Shi Nian's Nightmare, the Seven Asura Illusion cast by the seven members of Canghui Academy was far inferior. Due to the enormous consumption of soul power by this skill, they were simply unable to control the illusion to the same exquisite level that even the person involved could not perceive, as Shi Nian had done.

The dazzling seven-colored light became the best barrier to conceal Tang San's Purple Demon Eye.

When Tang San told his companions to close their eyes, he had already quietly told them his tactical plan. His plan was simple: he told each of his companions that when he kicked them out, they should force out a mouthful of blood and pretend to be seriously injured and unable to hold on.

That's a seven-in-one fusion technique after all. If outsiders see that our side won easily, wouldn't everything we've been hiding be exposed? Showing weakness to the enemy and letting them underestimate us is the best choice.

Everything that followed fell into place naturally. Even a Soul Emperor of level 72, Shi Nian, was momentarily stunned under the Purple Demon Eye, let alone the Canghui Academy members whose highest level was only level 41.

The moment Tang San activated the Purple Demon Eye, he amplified its impact to a special level, and at that moment, he clearly grasped the mental state of each student from Canghui Academy.

Because of the Seven Asura Illusionary Realms, the seven students from Canghui Academy fully unleashed their soul power, converting it into mental energy—a unique ability of theirs. Under these circumstances, their mental defenses were practically nonexistent.

Moreover, they were far more vulnerable than when they weren't using their Martial Soul. After all, how could they have imagined that within this powerful seven-in-one fusion technique, their opponent could launch a mental attack on them?
