In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 166 Determination

"Your Excellency, our students were just chatting about local anecdotes and didn't mention Shrek Academy at all." Shi Nian bowed slightly, glancing at Liu Erlong out of the corner of his eye. "I don't know why, but this instructor suddenly got angry and rushed over."

The Canghui students behind him nodded repeatedly, looking completely innocent.

"If you don't believe me, ask the team next to us." The captain turned to look at the other side.

Salas's gaze involuntarily swept over.

The academy leader, caught in the gaze, was taken aback. He had only overheard the conversation from Canghui Academy and hadn't heard what the Shrek Academy students were saying. He didn't know the specifics. After a moment's thought, he truthfully replied, "I did hear the Canghui Academy students chatting, it sounded like they were talking about a village idiot."

Would someone be a fool to share his sister with all the men in the village?

"As for Shrek Academy, it's too far away, and I didn't hear the conversation from outside."

Salas frowned, glanced at Liu Erlong, and said calmly, "If he commits another offense, he will be disqualified from watching the match."

After saying that, he ignored the murderous looks Liu Erlong gave the Canghui Academy students and sat back down in his original seat.

Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu gritted their teeth, glared at each other, and returned to their seats.

Tang San's eyes were filled with coldness. He didn't say anything, but held Xiao Wu's hand and watched the match quietly.

When the unpleasant situation arose, the other trainees also stopped talking and watched the game in silence until the host's voice came through.

"Next match, Shrek Academy will face Elephant Armor Academy. Both teams, please prepare yourselves."

"Third Brother, let me play this round," Xiao Wu said quickly, feeling a lot of anger that she needed to vent.

Tang San turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.

"You can arrange this battle yourselves," Yu Xiaogang said calmly, glancing around the room. Aside from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Spirit Hall Academy, he didn't believe any other academy could defeat the team he had trained.

Xiao Wu's face lit up with joy. She turned and hooked her arm around Tang San's, acting coquettishly, "Third Brother."

Tang San pondered for a moment, then looked up at his teammates.

In terms of the number of Soul Masters, they outnumber Elephant Armor Academy. Even if they win by going all out, outsiders will only think it's a given, and it won't be able to reverse the team's previous defeat. Now the team desperately needs a victory, preferably a victory against a stronger opponent.

He also needs a battle like this to prove his strength.

"My suggestion is to form an offensive lineup consisting of myself, Xiao Wu, Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, Hong Jun, Oscar, and Tai Long." As he said this, he turned his head and his eyes flashed.

"Mu Bai, Zhu Qing, use your Martial Soul Fusion Technique to end this battle as quickly as possible."

"We must win this battle beautifully!"

"Okay." Dai Mubai nodded. Since even the spirit fusion skill was mentioned, how could he not understand what Tang San meant?

"Then it's settled." Xiao Wu said with a smile.

Shortly after, as the host's voice came again, they all stood up and strode toward the passage.

"Shrek Academy has chosen to conceal its strength." The other academy teams were also taken aback when they saw Shrek Academy's lineup.

Elephant Armor Academy is no pushover.

"Now, you have one minute to activate your Martial Soul." The referee spoke after the two sides stood still and exchanged glances.

After saying that, both sides activated their martial spirits simultaneously.

"This is clearly looking down on us!" The Elephant Armor Academy players were somewhat displeased when they saw that the opposing team had only fielded two Soul Masters.

"Ding!" A minute later, the bell rang.

"Brothers, crush them!"

With a loud shout from Captain Hu Yanli, the spirit rings beneath the feet of the team members lit up simultaneously, and the hardness of their skin increased further. Standing over two meters tall and possessing robust physiques, they strode forward in perfect unison, causing the ground to tremble.

"Wow, that's impressive!" Just by looking at the spectacle, the audience felt that Elephant Armor Academy was very powerful.

Tang San sneered. He preferred to fight opponents who were large and not very agile.

His third spirit ring lit up, his right hand flashed with light, and then he hurled it out with a mighty roar, "Third spirit skill, Blue Silver Serpent Binding!"

The vines danced wildly like a swarm of snakes, all hurtling towards the Elephant Armor Academy's formation.

With nowhere to retreat, the seven members of Elephant Armor Academy chose to take the hit head-on, covering their eyes with their hands and letting the vines make crisp sounds as they poked at their bodies, but their defenses were not broken.

In the blink of an eye, vines were planted all over the ground, and the seven people were tightly bound by their limbs.

"Break them!" Hu Yanli exerted all his strength, snapping the vines inch by inch, and the other team members did the same. Crackling sounds of vines breaking echoed across the field.

"Here you go!" Oscar finished making the Excitement Sausages and handed them to the combat team members one by one.

Dai Mubai, Tailong, and Xiaowu ate together, and then went to greet them.

"Second Soul Skill, Parasite." Seeing that the restriction was about to be lifted, Tang San immediately followed up with control.

"Zhu Qing!" Dai Mubai turned his head and called softly.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained calm, her body shimmering with purple light before becoming ethereal, allowing Dai Mubai to reach out and take her hand.

The white and purple light intertwined and shone together, then completely merged into one.

In the blink of an eye, a huge roar resounded in the arena, the light faded, and a giant tiger appeared.

"Soul Fusion Technique!" The audience, both inside and outside the arena, looked astonished, as did the members of Elephant Armor Academy.

His feet were entangled in vines, and he couldn't break free for a while. He could only use his soul skill on the spot and watch the giant tiger charge towards him.

"Roar!" The giant tiger leaped several times and arrived in front of Hu Yanli, raising its tiger paw to slap his forehead.

"Clang!" Hu Yanli hurriedly exposed his head soul bone to defend himself, and a violent sound of metal colliding with stone immediately came from the arena.

"Third Soul Skill, Teleport!" Xiao Wu flashed behind another Soul Master and kicked him in the neck.

Tailong charged at the other one, unleashing a flurry of wild punches with his soul skill enhanced.

"First Soul Skill, Phoenix Fire Line!" Flying in the air, Ma Hongjun unleashed a barrage of attacks on the foreheads of the other Soul Masters. Restricted by Tang San, he was a fixed target, every shot hitting his mark!

As for just the spray nozzle, the reason is simple: the spray feet would burn Tang San's vines.

He had no intention of helping the people from the Elephant Armor Academy break free from control.

But in the eyes of the audience, this behavior is a completely different matter.

"They're all aiming for the head, isn't that going too far?" The contestants couldn't stand it anymore, their brows furrowed.

Protests were also heard continuously from the audience.

"Hmph, when we fought against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy before, the Shrek Academy people were clearly fighting themselves. This Xiao Wu is all the Heaven Dou Royal Academy people's fault for going too far. Now that it's our turn, we have no grudge against each other, yet every move she makes is aimed at vital points."

"This person applies one standard to others and another to themselves—what a hypocrite!"

"That's right, shameless!"

"Is this how Shrek Academy usually teaches its students?"

"." The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members continued to exert their strength, causing waves of discussion and resentment.

On the arena, the sounds of fighting rang out one after another. Coupled with the noisy discussions among the large number of people in the audience, Xiao Wu couldn't hear anything at all. She continued to vent her resentment at the people from Elephant Armor Academy, unleashing a variety of moves.

Seeing that the opponent was tough, he even used a groin kick.

"Damn it, this is too much!" Hu Yanzhen, sitting in the VIP section, felt his eyelids twitch and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

On the field, Tang San's eyes were sharp. When he saw the Elephant Armor Academy members revealing their wounds, he did not hesitate to control the vine spikes to inject poison into the wounds.

The seven members of Elephant Armor Academy, who were already busy defending themselves, especially against the Netherworld White Tiger, showed signs of weakness as their bodies grew weaker with each block, and their lips quickly turned purple.

Such obvious symptoms could not be hidden from Huyan Zhen, who slammed his hand on the table and roared:

"Enough! Elephant Armor Academy surrenders!"

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." He bowed slightly to Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi, then turned and left.

"Damn, what kind of people are these Shrek Academy students?!" The audience was buzzing with discussion.

"They hit him on the head, kicked him in the neck, kicked him in the groin, and poisoned him—they really used every despicable method imaginable."

"And they blame the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for being too harsh? Damn it, I've never seen such a shameless person!"

"For someone like this to participate in the competition is simply tarnishing the reputation of my Heavenly Dou Empire."

"."

Flander, with his excellent hearing, felt his eyelids twitch as he listened, while Liu Erlong's eyes blazed with anger, yet he was utterly helpless.

With tens of thousands of people in the stands, even if you can hear clearly, it's hard to find someone.

Clenched fists, a fit of impotent rage!

Xiao Wu's fighting style is really embarrassing. Yu Feng lowered his head, looking ashamed to face anyone.

"Shrek Academy is actually this strong." In the viewing area of ​​Canghui Academy, the students all had solemn expressions.

Shi Nian's eyes flickered as he scanned the Shrek Academy students who were entering the passage.

"Damn it, why are so many people still complaining even though we won!" Ma Hongjun said indignantly as he walked into the passage.

"Hmph, who cares, as long as we win!" Xiao Wu said indifferently.

She won, and she had a good time, that's enough.

"Let them talk if they want. Time and strength will prove everything," Dai Mubai said indifferently.

"It's just unnecessary trouble for the common man," Tang San said calmly.

Soon, the seven people walked out of the passage and returned to the rest area, while Yu Tianheng and the others remained silent.

"Xiao Wu, please don't kick my groin anymore," Flander said helplessly. "It's not a good example."

Xiao Wu immediately pouted and said indignantly, "What can I do? They're so tough, I can't even kick them anywhere else."

"Xiao Wu, it's really not good for a girl like you to kick that kind of place," Yu Xiaogang said, frowning.

"Alright, alright, I won't kick it again." Xiao Wu finally gave in.

Tang San shook his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, I want to return to the academy early."

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. "You're not watching the game anymore?"

"Teacher, just as you once told me, it's better to strengthen ourselves than to study our enemies." Tang San said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "The strength of these five elemental academies should be similar to that of the Elephant Armor Sect. You said before that as long as we can give it our all, defeating them won't be difficult."

"In order to deal with the real opponents I will face next, I need to hurry up and improve my strength."

Using the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul against Long Yingtian, who possesses fire attribute abilities, would definitely be useless. He wanted to practice the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique more.

Using the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in battle might be a surprise attack.

"The battle just now gave me some insights, and I want to go back and consolidate them," he continued.

"You don't need to worry about safety. The competition isn't over yet, and everyone is focused on it. As long as I sneak away, no one will notice me."

"Okay." Yu Xiaogang nodded. "But remember to change your clothes before you go out, and be careful on the road."

As expected, Tang Hao will also go there. He should be fine within Tiandou City.

"Third Brother, I'll go back with you too," Xiao Wu said immediately.

"No, you have to stay here." Yu Xiaogang's gaze was stern. "You exposed many immature aspects in the battle just now. You need to watch every single match from now on and learn from them. I need to see your progress."

"Otherwise, I won't let you play again."

"Ah." Xiao Wu's expression changed, and she felt very uncomfortable. She could only watch Tang San leave.

In the distance, Shi Nian's eyes flashed, and he silently left the group.
