Douro Continent

Chapter 402 A Title Douluo Who Loves Flowers (Part 1)

Fifteen hundred men besieged fifteen academies, with each academy receiving roughly a hundred enemies. The battle had barely begun when Tang San noticed a problem: the men in black were clearly far more skilled than ordinary people.

They were at least specially trained soldiers. Their speed and strength were quite good. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a low number of casualties.

It's important to understand that although they had a numerical advantage, they were facing a team composed entirely of Soul Masters.

The two Soul Masters assigned to Shrek Academy both possessed five Soul Rings, and both had optimal Soul Ring combinations. They immediately neutralized one of Ma Hongjun's attacks. Flander and Liu Erlong then stepped in, unleashing their full power.

Group battles? Tang San laughed. As a control-type Soul Master, he feared group battles the least.

Blue Silver Grass spread out along the ground, swiftly rushing towards the enemy. Any opponent that got close would immediately be entangled by the Blue Silver Grass. Conserving soul power was important, but even more important was to finish the battle quickly.

Facing so many opponents for the first time, Tang San felt a surge of excitement. His already astonishing strength was fully unleashed. His entanglement skills targeted only his opponents' legs, and he also began to take on the command role for Shrek Academy.

"Upwards." A low, deep voice rang out. After slowing down his opponent's movements, Tang San did not rush to attack.

The dark little box appeared in the hands of the Shrek Seven Devils. The seven of them, with perfect coordination, aimed at different directions and quickly wound up the mechanism.

The men in black who were entangled by Tang San seemed somewhat anxious. Suddenly, one of the men in black shouted, and a surge of soul power emanated from his body. Three soul rings rose from his body, and he actually managed to break free from the Blue Silver Grass that was wrapped around his legs.

Seeing this, Tang San suddenly had a bad feeling, but he couldn't care less about that now. The mechanism was loaded, and Tang San shouted, "Release!"

Amidst the clanging of metal, seven Zhuge crossbows unleashed their deadly aura, each carrying sixteen bolts, for a total of over a hundred arrows. They intertwined to form a vast net filled with the scent of death.

Screams filled the air as the black-clad bandits, finally suffering widespread casualties under the formidable piercing power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, began to suffer heavy losses.

The penetrating power of Zhuge's crossbow was so strong that it could pierce through the bodies of several people stacked together at the same time. With just one volley, most of the enemies surrounding them were gone.

Tang San sneered, "Everyone, don't move, prepare your defenses." After saying this, he rushed out.

At this moment, all the other academies were under siege, and no one would notice him. Tang San's arms moved in an illusory rhythm, and countless crystalline lights were scattered from his fingertips. In that instant, it seemed as if he had eight arms.

He hadn't used hidden weapons in a long time, but that didn't mean Tang San had become rusty. Like a Thousand-Handed Asura born specifically for hidden weapons, he constantly brought the aura of death to his enemies.

Once an opponent is identified as an enemy, there is no holding back. This is a rule in the Tang Sect's general principles, and how could Tang San forget it? Regardless of who these masked people are, they clearly did not come with good intentions.

Tang San's hidden weapons are mostly various flying needles, because flying needles are small in size, making them harder for opponents to defend against, and they are also easier to carry.

From the most ordinary fine iron needles to bone-piercing needles, armor-piercing needles, and overlord needles, all kinds of flying needles of different sizes but with amazing power were constantly thrown out from his hands.

A purple-gold light emanated from his eyes, and everything around him was under his six senses. Almost every time he made a move, someone immediately fell. Tang San didn't always shoot at his opponents' vital points, but don't forget, the Tang Clan not only has hidden weapons, but also poisons.

In Tang San's Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, there are poisons that can paralyze, and poisons that can kill instantly. When facing an enemy, will he show mercy? No, of course not.

This was the first time the Shrek Seven Devils had witnessed Tang San unleash his full power. Even though they were familiar with Tang San, all they could see were shimmering lights constantly emanating from him, and enemies within a 30-meter radius of him fell like wheat being harvested. Those who fell could never rise again.

In just a short while, not only were the low-level bandits from Shrek Academy wiped out, but even some black-clad bandits in the surrounding area were affected.

Tang San's hidden weapons are truly terrifying; they are ubiquitous and silent, and by the time an opponent reacts, they are often already pierced by poisoned needles. His hidden weapons can be said to be more domineering than any soul skill.

Tang San, wielding hidden weapons, became exceptionally confident. At this moment, the soul skills possessed by the Blue Silver Grass had become entirely auxiliary to him. The black-clad bandits were unable to even get close.

Just as Tang San was preparing to expand his gains, the black-clad bandits seemed to have realized something was amiss. The high-level Soul Masters from various academies were also entangled by the high-level black-clad bandits, and the students began to unleash their offensive power.

However, there was only one case where over a hundred people fell down in a short time, like Tang San's group.

Three figures rushed towards Tang San simultaneously. The moment they appeared, Tang San immediately felt his previous fluid and effortless movements vanish. Although none of the three released their martial souls during their attack, the pressure they exerted on Tang San was immense.

Faced with the crisis, Tang San's sixth sense was exceptionally sharp. Without any hesitation, the six Soul-Chasing Darts flew out of his hand.

The gleaming iron gallbladder drew six beautiful, intersecting arcs in the air, separating Tang San from the three suddenly appearing opponents.

Tang San himself retreated as fast as he could, rushing towards his companions.

A beam of colorful light landed on Tang San at just the right moment; it was Ning Rongrong's assistance that had arrived, increasing his speed by forty percent. Tang San's retreating speed increased dramatically.

The six Soul-Chasing Darts collided silently in mid-air, and in an instant, a large cloud of poisonous mist billowed out. Hidden within the mist were countless fine needles, each as thin as a hair, yet crafted from iron, carrying terrifying poison, forming a curtain that shrouded the path of the three men in black.

When Tang San threw out the six Soul-Chasing Darts, he didn't even look at them, but his clothes were already soaked with sweat. He clearly felt the combined pressure from the three people almost causing him to collapse. In other words, the combined strength of these three people was definitely no less than that of a Soul Douluo above level 80.

That's something a level 50 Soul King can't achieve.

How could there be such a powerful Soul Master among the enemy?

The three men in black confirmed Tang San's guess by showing the number of their spirit rings. Eight, seven, seven—one Soul Douluo and two Soul Saints released their martial spirits.

An incredibly powerful surge of soul power erupted instantly, and a barrage of poisonous needles swept out. Tang San's own soul power was still too weak. If those six Soul-Chasing Darts had been released by Dugu Bo, then these three people would have been severely injured, even if they didn't die.

However, Tang San's soul power was much weaker.

Even so, he did manage to hold off his opponent for a moment, giving him a chance to quickly retreat among his companions.

Upon suddenly seeing the appearance of three powerful figures, Flander and Liu Erlong were both taken aback. Their opponents, two Soul Masters in their fifties, had been extremely slippery in battle and were both agility-based attackers, yet they had not been able to be destroyed. Now, seeing the appearance of three powerful figures, the two Soul Kings turned and fled.

The figure rapidly approached, and the expressions of the Shrek Academy students turned serious. One Soul Douluo, two Soul Saints, and two Soul Kings. They knew all too well just how powerful such a combination was.

If a master were here, and together with Flander and Liu Erlong unleashed their Golden Iron Triangle Trinity Spirit Fusion Technique, they might be able to put up a fight. But given the current disparity in strength, it's clear they couldn't withstand it.

But at this point, who could back down? Relying on others for help was impossible. The other Soul Master academies were trapped. The Royal Knights, sent to their aid, were also blocked by a group of black-clad bandits. At least for the time being, no one would be helping them.

Moreover, these surrounding colleges are all competitors. Even if they could spare the time, they might not necessarily help them.

The masked Soul Douluo snorted coldly, raised his hand, and five people simultaneously pressed forward. Two Soul Saints rushed straight at Flander and Liu Erlong, while he led two Soul Kings to escort the Shrek Seven Devils and the other eleven.

Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance, both seeing a resolute glint in each other's eyes. A Soul Douluo above level 80. That was already a near-peak existence in the Soul Master world. Was such an opponent truly someone they could contend with? So what if they couldn't? They would never give up.

The battle between Flander and Liu Erlong had already begun. Although Flander was also a Soul Saint, his soul power was approaching level 79, making him an extremely powerful figure among Soul Saints. His opponent was a Winged Tiger Soul Saint. The two fought directly in the air.

Liu Erlong's opponent is an Ironclad Turtle Soul Master.

The two fought fiercely, one attacking and the other defending. Liu Erlong's attacks were indeed powerful, but her opponent's defense was equally impenetrable.
