Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

On the field, the first wave of probing by Blazing Fire Academy ended, and they were certain that the control of Shrek Academy's strongest control-type Soul Master was not a threat at all.

Tang San knew that his Blue Silver King was completely helpless against the flames, so he immediately deployed the Eight Spider Lances on his back.

Although forfeiting the competition would be the best option now, he didn't want to miss this opportunity. If he couldn't even defeat a single Blazing Academy, he would be even more powerless in the face of the sea of ​​fire that Lu Mingfei had unleashed.

The appearance of the eight menacing, jet-black spider spears immediately drew cheers from the audience and alerted the Blazing Fire Academy.

It was these eight spider legs that allowed Tang San to single-handedly defeat the Elephant Armor Academy and become famous.

Huo Wushuang immediately went into battle alert. Anyone who had watched Tang San's matches knew that he absolutely could not engage Tang San in close combat. He ordered the battle lines to be contracted, preparing to concentrate his forces to defeat Tang San first with ranged attacks.

"Mu Bai." At Tang San's command, Dai Mu Bai immediately unleashed his fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower.

Huo Wushuang understood that Tang San intended to scatter them and defeat them one by one, so he did not order them to disperse and dodge. Instead, he immediately used his soul skill to retaliate and detonate the meteor shower.

But this was also part of Tang San's plan. The moment Meteor Shower was unleashed, Oscar's five flying intestines had already been swallowed by them.

Furthermore, Tang San's fourth soul skill, Blue Silver Cage, was instantly unleashed once again. Although the cage was ignited immediately, it still caught Blazing Academy off guard and caused some panic.

Amidst the chaos, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing were already gliding through the air, approaching the Fire Crane twins, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, from the Blazing Fire Academy.

Because of the White Tiger Meteor Shower, the Fire Cloud and Fire Rain had just lowered their flight altitude and were caught red-handed by Shrek.

"Oh no!" Huo Wushuang exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to help, but Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Tailong had already surrounded him and his companion Huo Bao.

Upon seeing this, Huoyun Huoyu immediately used his Fire Crane clone, attempting to fly into the sky to evade the sudden attack.

At the same time, Huo Wu also used her third soul skill, the Fire Ring, to knock Dai Mubai and the others away, so that she could take action against Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing in the sky.

However, the Netherworld Cat's speed was extraordinary. Zhu Zhuqing launched the Netherworld Thrust, which forced Huo Yun's escape to the sky to be hindered. He turned around and attacked, but in that instant, Tang San seized the opportunity and thrust out the Eight Spider Spears, which grazed Huo Yun's shoulder.

The ferocious poison instantly drained Huoyun of all its strength, causing it to fall from the sky. Tang San used Huoyun as a human shield and landed in the camp of Blazing Fire Academy.

With his Ghostly Steps and Eight Spider Lances, Tang San landed like a wolf among sheep. Huo Wushuang and another Fire Leopard Soul Master were about to focus their attacks on Tang San when they were pierced by the Eight Spider Lances and fell to the ground instantly.

Although Huo Wu quickly released her second Fire Resistance Ring, which repelled Tang San, three members of the Blazing Fire Academy had already fallen.

Tang San was only slightly burned by the scorching soul power, and with Jiang Zhu's healing soul skill, his condition quickly recovered.

"We surrender." Huo Wu spoke immediately without hesitation. Although they still had their strongest fusion technique left, three of their teammates had already been poisoned, and if they didn't save them soon, it might be too late.

Furthermore, given Shrek's brief ability to fly, she wasn't sure if her soul skill could hit the opponent.

"Shrek! Shrek!" The crowd erupted in cheers once again.

Tang San's performance in single-handedly turning the tide once again moved everyone.

However, Tang San's mood was not as wonderful as the cheers. After all, today's competition was a blow to him by Blazing Fire Academy. It turned out that his Blue Silver King was not so great after all.

--

"Congratulations, Rongrong, it seems Shrek Academy has secured their place in the finals."

Lu Mingfei clapped his hands, and Yu Tianheng and the others nodded in agreement.

After watching so many days of competition, everyone can basically guess that the teams advancing will be the Four Elements Academy and Shrek Academy.

"Then you'd better be careful in the finals." Ning Rongrong chuckled playfully. In any case, it was a good thing that Shrek Academy was able to enter the finals, and it would let Lu Mingfei see her hard work.

"Yes, yes, who would dare to underestimate our Miss Rongrong?" Yu Feng gave her face and showed his support. Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were still sitting on the VIP stage, so who would dare to upset this young lady?

"It's good that you know." Ning Rongrong smiled with satisfaction. To be honest, the only person she felt she could really talk to in Shrek was Zhu Zhuqing. Xiao Wu was always around Tang San. She actually preferred the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Not only was it close to Lu Mingfei, but more importantly, the students were tactful and spoke nicely.

On the other side, Shrek Academy also stepped down from the stage in high spirits. In fact, even they themselves were not optimistic about themselves at first, but who would have thought that Tang San would be so promising.

"Third Brother, you were absolutely amazing today!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed. He could even slaughter opponents from the Blazing Fire Academy with their reversed attributes. He now completely believed Tang San's words that he could defeat Lu Mingfei.

"Don't be careless, the preliminaries are only halfway through." Tang San remained calm and offered a reminder, without getting carried away.

"Alright, everyone knows Third Brother. Tomorrow our opponent is Canghui Academy, which is a good opportunity to vent our anger. Third Brother, please hold back a bit tomorrow so we can have a good chance to perform." Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together.

The others also expressed their agreement; they had long been itching to get their hands on Canghui Academy.

Chapter 164 The Ugly Winning Streak

There really are cases where people's horoscopes don't match, just like Lu Mingfei and Tang San, and Canghui Academy and Shrek Academy.

On the 12th day of the preliminary rounds, in the third group match, Canghui Academy finally faced off against Shrek Academy.

This is a battle of the century that originated from the foul-mouthed students of both academies.

As it turns out, Shrek Ma Hongjun's skill in being foul-mouthed is simply unparalleled; he has taken simple foul-mouthedness to the extreme and put it into practice.

That's why, even though their own teacher had become a living dead, Canghui Academy still couldn't forget to take revenge on Shrek Academy and get their revenge.

After listening to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing recount the origins of the feud between the two sides, Lu Mingfei was speechless with disbelief.

Are you kindergarten children from somewhere?

Given the old and new grudges, Shrek Academy is extremely enthusiastic about today's match.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were replaced by Tailong and Jingling, and even Xiaowu was preparing to join in the fun and have a fight.

Because of his past experiences, Lu Mingfei had taken a closer look at Canghui Academy. Their control-type Soul Masters were quite skilled. Their Gemstone Martial Soul, with its mental interference ability, was arguably the same type of substitute as his own.

On the competition stage, both sides had entered the arena. After the referee announced the activation of their Martial Souls, the difference between the two sides immediately became apparent. Shrek Academy had two Soul Masters, while Canghui Academy only had one Soul Master, and one of them was not even in the best Soul Ring combination.

"Looks like those guys from Canghui Academy are in for a rough time today." Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle softly; she didn't have a good impression of Canghui Academy either.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement without saying anything. Although she also thought it was childish, she was one of those who were called a toad.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything either. He felt that Canghui Academy was strange. Logically speaking, when facing such a powerful enemy as Shrek Academy, they would definitely use their full strength.

The fact that Canghui Academy replaced its members with this suboptimal Soul Ring configuration must have a hidden meaning. Shrek Academy might suffer a setback today.

However, at this moment, he couldn't open his golden eyes to check the situation, so he could only suppress his curiosity and continue watching the game.

"Tch, you can't even gather the best soul ring combination. This is the level of your Canghui Academy." Dai Mubai preemptively retorted.

"Shrek the Toad, today I'll show you what absolute strength really is!" The Soul Master captain from Canghui Academy immediately burst into laughter.

"Absolute strength? With your abilities? That's laughable." Ma Hongjun also laughed heartily. He wouldn't lose face even if he lost, especially since they had been winning all along.

If we're talking about absolute strength, then it has to be Shrek Academy. Didn't you see that they wiped out two of the five elemental academies?

"You fatso, I guarantee you're dead today." The captain of Canghui Academy looked at Ma Hongjun with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.

Ma Hongjun wasn't stupid. He knew that a Soul Master was clearly targeting him, so he immediately shrank behind Dai Mubai.

Tang San remained silent, but stood ready. He had also noticed something was wrong with Canghui Academy and had already activated his Purple Demon Eye, preparing to unleash his full power.

As soon as the referee officially announced the start of the match, Canghui Academy immediately formed a hexagonal formation, and at the same time, the seven gem martial souls flashed with soul power.

A massive, seven-colored pillar of light pierced the air and spread rapidly across the entire arena. The seven members of the Canghui Academy in the formation completely vanished.

Tang San's eyes flashed with purple light. His first thought was about the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and his heart jumped into his throat.

He quickly realized that if it really was a seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill, then even a titled Douluo would be in trouble, so why would they have time to think?

After figuring it out, Tang San immediately activated the Blue Silver Grass, which swept across the entire arena. It should only be a seven-in-one fusion technique, and his true body must still be on the arena.

"Everyone, keep an eye on the movement of my vines and launch an attack immediately," Tang San said in a deep voice.

"Understood." The smiles vanished as everyone realized they were in deep trouble.

"Naive! Do you think this will stop us? I've been preparing for this day for far too long." As soon as the voice from the pillar of light ended, the light spread across the entire arena, and Shrek was instantly enveloped in it before he could react.

"Not good!" Tang San's expression changed, and he immediately pushed his Purple Demon Eye to its limit.

"I didn't expect your mental strength to be so powerful; even our Seven Asura Illusions couldn't pull you in."

"Shut up!" Tang San frowned slightly. Logically, his Blue Silver Grass vines should have completely covered the arena in a dozen seconds, but for some reason he couldn't find anything.

Could they be floating in the air?

"Naive. Your mental strength did block our Seven Asura Illusion, but when did you ever think it wasn't an illusion? Kid, remember Teacher Shi Nian's name!" Captain Cang Hui's voice disappeared completely.

Tang San's face turned pale instantly. Even his discerning Purple Demon Eyes couldn't detect any flaws. This illusion was truly terrifying.

"elder brother!"

Xiao Wu's cries immediately rang out. Tang San was shocked and tried to wake her, but before he could speak, a very familiar cliff suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What exactly happened inside?" Ning Rongrong stared in disbelief. All she could hear were the cries and wails of the Shrek Academy members coming from the arena.

"Fortunately, you didn't participate in the competition today." Even without activating his Golden Eyes, Lu Mingfei could sense the fluctuations in spiritual power within them, which were probably at the Soul Emperor level.

"Xiao Gang, admit defeat!" Flander shouted anxiously from below the stage.

"Wait, Flander, wait a little longer." The master clenched his fists. He was very confident in Tang San's mental cultivation. However, the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique was unlikely to have much effect on Tang San. This was also a test for Tang San.

Just as the master finished speaking, Lu Mingfei suddenly noticed an extremely powerful yet subtle fluctuation of mental energy that instantly blasted into the arena from outside. The intense killing intent even made Lu Mingfei's scalp tingle.

"Making such a big fuss?" Lu Mingfei knew without even looking that Tang Hao had made his move. It seemed that Canghui Academy was truly determined to kill this time, to the point that there was no time to admit defeat.

At the same time, the dazzling light on the arena suddenly disappeared, revealing the Canghui Academy students lying unconscious on the spot, and the Shrek Academy students weeping bitterly.

Despite the unpleasant scene, Shrek was the one who ultimately stood on the field, and immediately, an uproar erupted.

The referee finally announced the result: Canghui Academy suffered a backlash from its soul skill, and Shrek Academy achieved a twelve-game winning streak.

However, this winning streak was rather ugly.

Tang San was distraught, Dai Mubai remained silent, and Xiao Wu, Tai Long, and the others even fainted. But the most embarrassed one had to be Ma Hongjun.

He wet his pants in front of tens of thousands of people in public, instantly becoming more famous than Lu Mingfei and becoming a household name in the entire Tiandou City that day.

Chapter 165: The End and the Finale

The entire Canghui team became idiots, and only one member of the Shrek team remained standing before being eliminated.

No one expected the match to end in such a brutal manner.

Despite Canghui Academy's strong condemnation and demand for an investigation from the organizing committee, the matter ultimately came to nothing.

Although Platinum Bishop Salas considered taking this opportunity to eliminate Shrek as a threat, he still obediently backed down in the face of the Grandmaster's papal decree and the pressure from Ning Fengzhi.

In this Soul Master Competition, Canghui Academy was undoubtedly the biggest loser.

However, Shrek Academy's situation wasn't much better. The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique from Canghui Academy dealt an unimaginable blow to the Shrek students.

The master originally thought that with Tang San's extraordinary mental strength and skills, he could lead the team out of the predicament, so he did not announce his surrender at the beginning.

Fortunately, Haotian Douluo intervened and saved the Shrek Academy students.

If this were delayed even a moment longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'm sorry, mistress."

At this moment, Shrek Academy had returned to its infirmary, where Tang San was guarding Xiao Wu's bedside.

Master walked up to Tang San with self-reproach. He had already learned from Tang San's description that the Fusion Technique of Canghui Academy made them experience the most terrifying thing: endless pain and torment.

Tang San had the strongest mental strength and was barely able to recognize the illusion. He wasn't greatly affected, so he was the only one who was able to stand up in the end.

"Teacher, it's not your fault." Tang San gritted his teeth, but ultimately couldn't say anything. After all, this was his competition, and Grandmaster had given him the autonomy from the beginning.

His regret was that he had misjudged the strength of Canghui Academy. If he had chosen to surrender from the beginning, Xiao Wu would not have suffered such harm.

Recalling Xiao Wu's wailing back then, he wished he could tear those guys from Canghui Academy to pieces.

And we also have to blame that fat guy. If it weren't for his foul mouth, how could they have such a big grudge against Canghui Academy?

Looking back now, their hatred for Canghui Academy seems utterly inexplicable.

It wasn't until the next day that Xiao Wu and the others finally woke up, and Flander and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The nightmare dreamscape of Canghui Academy is ultimately just mental torture rather than mental destruction.

It's like having a very real nightmare. If there's not enough time, the damage to the body is actually quite limited. Although there are some headaches and stress reactions, the overall problem is not very serious.

Even Ma Hongjun, who was so scared that he wet himself, was almost able to get out of bed the next day, but he was too ashamed to go out.

Even if someone were beaten to death on the field, no one would have been as humiliated as him. Overall, he made history.

--

The qualifiers continued in this atmosphere.

The Shrek team forfeited for three consecutive days due to injuries, and only returned to the arena on the fourth day under Tang San's leadership. At this time, the preliminary rounds were only halfway through.

Shrek's return has undoubtedly made all the participating teams take notice.

In the previous battle, the power of Canghui Academy's "Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill" put immense pressure on all the teams. They even believed that Canghui Academy was the undisputed champion of this year's competition, and that Lu Mingfei had to take a backseat.
