Chapter 356 Seven-in-One Fusion Technique (Part 2)

The mental impact of the Purple Demon Eye pierced directly into their brains, causing a backlash of soul power. Yes, the seven members of the Canghui Academy team wouldn't die, but they were all rendered mentally impaired. Damage to certain nerves meant they could never recover. Even the best healing-type soul masters were helpless against the incredibly intricate structure of the brain.

Tang San was never a kind person, much less as ordinary as he appeared. The Tang Clan itself is a complex entity, straddling the lines between good and evil. When facing an enemy who could potentially threaten his life, showing mercy would only put him in danger.

From witnessing the opponent's Seven-in-One Fusion Technique to the opponent launching an attack, Tang San, amidst the colorful light, informed his teammates of their response and ultimately defeated the seven opponents. The entire process unfolded in the blink of an eye. Swift and decisive, the strike landed squarely. This ruthlessness and decisiveness fully demonstrated the Asura's heart hidden beneath Tang San's ordinary exterior.

It was precisely for this reason that Dai Mubai spoke of Tang San's ruthlessness. Among everyone present, he was the strongest, and besides Tang San, he was the one least affected. Therefore, he vaguely guessed Tang San's actions. Even the Evil-Eyed White Tiger couldn't help but feel a sense of awe towards this companion.

The first person to express his support for Tang San was Ma Hongjun. The fat man supported Huang Yuan and Jing Ling with both hands, saying, "Third Brother, I support you. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

The Shrek Seven Devils' gazes met at one point, and no one dared to question them further. Tang San's explanation, though simple, clearly demonstrated the deep brotherhood among them. They all had the same thought: if the Canghui Academy team had won, would they have shown mercy to their side?

Back in the rest area, hundreds of eyes almost simultaneously fell on the Shrek Academy team members. When someone outside shouted the words "Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill," the participating team members in the rest area all ran out and naturally witnessed the final outcome.

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy saw it, and Feng Xiaotian of Divine Wind Academy naturally saw it as well.

The match was short, and no one saw how Shrek Academy won, but they all saw the result.

Not everyone possesses the vision of masters like Ning Fengzhi. The shock brought to each participating student by the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique is indescribable. Yet, Canghui Academy still lost. Even after using the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique, they still lost. Moreover, they clearly saw that while Canghui Academy was activating the fusion technique, the Shrek Academy team didn't even move on the stage, allowing them to gather their power.

Although only Tang San remained standing on the stage in the end, the result of Shrek Academy defeating Canghui Academy's Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique was difficult for the participating team members from various academies to accept, especially Huo Wu.

Feng Xiaotian looked at Tang San, who was staggering slightly, and his heart pounded. Good heavens, that was a seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill! And even that couldn't defeat them? This Tang San is too monstrous. Is he really under twenty-five?

He had been full of confidence, believing that Huo Wu would definitely become his girlfriend this time, but after the battle outside, he had completely lost his confidence. He looked at Tang San, somewhat lost in thought.

Tang San gestured to Ma Hongjun and the other two to set aside their "seriously injured" companions, and then had Jiangzhu activate the healing staff. He turned around, facing the hundreds of gazes, and calmly uttered a single sentence.

"You don't need to look at me like that. That wasn't a seven-in-one martial soul fusion technique."

Ignoring the astonished looks, Tang San sat down next to his companions and closed his eyes to rest.

Although it was just a simple explanation, it brought him back from his divine status to the realm of ordinary people, and many people felt a sense of relief.

At this moment, Grandmaster, Liu Erlong, and Flander arrived. After Tang San and Grandmaster whispered a few words to each other, they quickly left the rest area, supporting each other.

Watching their departing figures, the participating team members immediately began to discuss among themselves, all willing to believe Tang San's explanation. After all, it was simply impossible to defeat a Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique when the level difference was not significant. Moreover, that Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique was merely a powerful divine skill from legend.

The audience enjoyed a visual feast, but today's match also sparked various thoughts among those with ulterior motives. All sides were pondering how the Shrek Academy team had managed to achieve victory.

Soon, news came from Canghui Academy that all seven of their participating team members had lost the ability to think and had become mentally impaired. They also lodged a strong protest with the competition organizing committee, demanding severe punishment for Shrek Academy.

In response, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall jointly established a special investigation team to conduct separate investigations into both sides. Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City dispatched two Soul Saint-level healing-type Soul Masters to provide treatment for the seven members of the Canghui Academy team.

But just as Tang San predicted, the brain is the most intricate part of the human body, and cannot be restored by simple healing soul skills. The mysteries of the spiritual world have yet to be truly deciphered. Therefore, the Spirit Hall's treatment was naturally futile.

Back at Shrek Academy, the Golden Trio immediately gathered all eleven members of the Shrek Academy team in the conference room.

At this moment, there was no need for anyone to hide anything anymore, and the six people who were originally "seriously injured" had all returned to normal.

Flander's expression was somewhat solemn. His gaze first fell on Tang San, and then swept over the other six people who participated in the competition today.

"If I'm not mistaken, the competition organizing committee will send an investigation team to our academy to investigate today's competition in less than an hour. I don't know how you managed to handle it. But the master just told me that all the opponents have turned into idiots."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word. In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Tang San.

Flander glared at Tang San and said, "You little monster, you're always causing me trouble. The seven of you who participated in the competition, go and meditate right now. I'll explain to the other side using your own healing methods. Oh, no, Tang San, you stay. Someone has to be investigated. At least on the surface, you're the least injured and the most suitable candidate."

"Yes."

"You six go now. Erlong, find them a secluded spot and have Zhao Wuji and Lu Qibin guard it personally. Don't let anyone see them. Oh, and call Shao Xin over too. His candy bean spirit is perfect for concealing the little monsters' injuries. Jiangzhu, you go too. We should at least make an appearance; it's good to have a few more healing-type spirit masters."

At this moment, Flander truly displayed his authority as dean. Liu Erlong stood up, smiled at Tang San with approval in her eyes, and then led Dai Mubai and the other seven away. She was originally the killing member of the Golden Iron Triangle, so she naturally admired Tang San's decisive and ruthless style.

After Liu Erlong and her group left, only Flander, Master, Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Ning Rongrong remained in the room.

Frand pulled up a chair and sat down without a word, rhythmically tapping his hand on the table as if deep in thought. The master had been sitting to the side from the beginning, looking completely composed.

Not long after, Flander looked up and said, "Little San, if the investigators ask you how you broke through your opponent's Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique, what will you say?"

Tang San honestly replied, "I don't know." In battle, his inspiration was practically limitless. But when it came to scheming and intrigue, he couldn't even come close to Flander.

Flander's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, that's the answer. Remember that."

"Huh?" Tang San was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "So I'll just answer 'I don't know'?"

Flander chuckled and said, "That's right. No matter what they ask you, just insist you don't know. Tell the investigators that you kept releasing your soul skills because you couldn't see clearly outside. By the time your surroundings became clear, it was all over. You had no idea what happened."

Tang San blinked. "That works too?"

Flander scoffed, "Why not? Those guys who came to investigate are just going through the motions. After all, no one saw what happened. As long as you stick to the word 'I don't know,' with me here, they can't torture you to extract a confession. Without any evidence, we'll just say that those students from Canghui Academy lost control of their soul skills and were turned into idiots by the backlash. What can they do to us? Everything needs evidence."

Ma Hongjun muttered to himself behind Tang San, "Isn't this just being shameless?"

The master chuckled beside him, "You're only realizing this now? When it comes to being a rogue, who can compare to the master of rogues, Flander?"

Flanders glared at the master, annoyed. "Don't sabotage me, okay? You mistress, did you get that?"

Tang San quickly nodded, indicating that he had remembered. So what if he didn't know three words? He knew nothing at all. Isn't that simple?

It's the last few days of the month, so brothers who still have monthly tickets, please vote for the mistress! Thank you.
