At this moment, Tang San seemed to have gone completely mad. His hands were white, clearly indicating he wanted to continue the soul duel.
However, Blazing Fire Academy's tactics had succeeded. Relying on Huo Wu's soul skills and multiple Soul Masters, they had disrupted all of Shrek's formations. They had also seized the opportunity to have two Support System Soul Masters assist Huo Wu in charging up, completing her fourth soul skill, Huo Wu Illuminating Sun.
Especially under the restraint of the four individuals, Tang San and the other three were unable to interfere with Huo Wu's final attack, making defeat seem inevitable.
Yu Xiaogang, standing to the side, looked at Huo Wu and then at Tang San, seemingly unsure of what to decide. Clearly, he trusted Tang San's judgment more; at least in his eyes, Tang San had never made a mistake.
The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. The entire arena fell silent, and even the referee said nothing at this moment.
As the massive Huo Wu Illuminating Sun descended, like a giant sun falling to the ground, its attack range covered basically the entire arena. The entire stage seemed to experience a massive explosion, and Tang San and the others also unleashed their strongest soul skills.
When everyone could see the situation on the stage again, Tang San and the other three were all lying on the stage, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. Clearly, they were all seriously injured. Yang Xiong stood at the edge of the stage, his entire body like a Silver giant. His clothes were completely torn, leaving only half a pair of pants to cover his body, but his entire body was like it was cast from Silver and iron, not only displaying terrifying muscles but also appearing incredibly tough and powerful.
Even the opposing Huo Wu couldn't help but swallow. "Yang Xiong, although the final result just now controlled the Strength and direction, you weren't injured by such a big explosion?"
The audience couldn't help but swallow. Although Huyan Li was known as a pure Defense System Soul Master, judging from that last attack, Yang Xiong's defense was probably much stronger than Huyan Li's.
Yu Xiaogang and Flander quickly walked to the side of the stage, but were angrily shouted at by the referee. "The match is not over. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach the stage, otherwise, they will be ruled as forfeiting."
Yu Xiaogang angrily retorted, "They are not having a Soul Duel Competition, they are killing people. According to the rules of the competition, intentionally injuring or disabling opponents is not allowed. I want to file a complaint against them."
The referee also spoke coldly at this moment. "That girl over there already notified them in advance, and even held back at the last moment. They chose to forcefully withstand the soul skill themselves. Injuries and disabilities in this situation do not violate the rules of the competition."
Yu Xiaogang was speechless upon hearing this. Although he had studied the rules of the Soul Master Competition, it seemed he hadn't studied them thoroughly enough.
At this moment, the referee looked at Yang Xiong. "Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team still has one person. Do you wish to continue the match?"
Huo Wushuang on the opposite side also suddenly spoke. "I didn't expect your defense to be so strong. It seems you are the strongest among these Shrek people. Do you still want to continue fighting?"
Yang Xiong retracted his Martial Soul and Soul Ring, and couldn't help but shake his head. "There's no need. Although you've consumed a lot of soul power, you have seven people, and I only have one. We concede this match."
Upon hearing Yang Xiong's words, the referee announced the result of the match. "Heaven Dou Royal Academy Shrek Team versus Blazing Fire Academy. Blazing Fire Academy team wins."
Yu Xiaogang and Flander and the others, hearing this, no longer cared about the outcome of the match. They quickly took Tang San and the others off the stage, and the substitute Jiang Zhu immediately began treating the four. There were even many Healing System Soul Masters who came over.
There was even a Healing System Soul Master who came to Yang Xiong's side, but after careful observation, she was also surprised. "Although you had a little bit of scorching from that big explosion just now, you recovered so quickly. Your physical fitness is a bit unusual."
Yang Xiong simply quickly changed into a new set of clothes and spoke indifferently. "Thank you. I'm fine. Please hurry and treat my teammates."
Ning Rongrong stayed by Yang Xiong's side, especially since she was a bit strange. "Little Xiongzi, your physical fitness is too amazing. Your defense is probably better than that big guy Huyan Li."
A smile finally appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth. "What's Huyan Li? He's just a brute."
Oscar, after forcefully using his remaining soul power to give the four a Super Recovery Big Sausage, also came to Yang Xiong's side, with many words of thanks. "Brother Xiong, thank you just now. If you hadn't let Rong Rong and me off the stage, we would probably both be seriously injured, especially since we are just support and our physical fitness and defense are worse."
Yang Xiong looked at Oscar and Ning Rongrong with a sense of helplessness. These two were just Support System Soul Masters, and they looked extremely weak now. They had probably used up almost all of their soul power on the stage.
"This is just a normal Soul Duel Competition. There's no need to focus too much on winning or losing, and even less need to risk your lives for it. Huo Wu's move, Huo Wu Illuminating Sun, is something you simply cannot withstand at this stage."
Both of them felt a lingering fear upon hearing this.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy reacted extremely quickly, or rather, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family reacted extremely quickly. A Healing System Soul Emperor soon arrived to treat Tang San and the other four.
The large areas of scorching on the four of them actually recovered at an extremely fast Speed, without even leaving scars.
Yu Xiaogang was very anxious. "Esteemed elder, how are the injuries of Tang San and the other four?"
The Healing System Soul Emperor was clearly a bit angry. "Their injuries are no longer serious and will fully recover in about two to three days. However, before that, they should not participate in Soul Duel Competitions, otherwise, it may cause hidden problems for their bodies. They are just children. Don't fight so desperately on the stage. If that girl on the opposite side hadn't controlled the power, these four would probably have been seriously injured and disabled."
"I know you want the glory of the Soul Master Competition and to become famous throughout the world in it, but you also need to pay attention to the children's health. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, there's nothing I can do."
Yu Xiaogang and Flander exchanged glances upon hearing this. Yang Xiong had already conceded, but Tang San insisted on continuing the fight. Huo Wu's fourth soul skill, aided by the two support system soul masters, was a bit out of control, which was why everyone got injured. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been hurt.
After everyone returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Xiaogang personally took care of Tang San, Ma Hongjun took care of Dai Mubai, and the two girls were looked after by Jiang Zhu and Qin Shuang.
Yang Xiong, on the other hand, followed Flander to his office alone, while Liu Erlong stayed by Yu Xiaogang's side.
Flander looked at Yang Xiong and remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Regarding what happened on the stage today, I apologize to Little San and Little Gang on behalf of myself. Your decision at the time was correct."
A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth. "Dean, you can handle some matters as you see fit, but you should understand my purpose for attending school. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not allow Ning Rongrong to suffer any harm. She is not only the Sect Leader's daughter but also the next Sect Leader."
"If we were injured due to our own overestimation, then I would have nothing to say, and the Sect Leader would have nothing to say. But you saw the situation today. I hope everyone within the team has a tacit understanding, at least not to act recklessly for a temporary victory or defeat."
Flander was silent for a moment before speaking, "I understand. I will talk to Little Gang and Tang San separately. You are all students, and your safety and future are the most important."
Yang Xiong said, "Thank you for your understanding, Dean. However, I think the Dean should also be more careful. Many members of the original Shrek Team have extraordinary backgrounds. Whether it's Dai Mubai or Zhu Zhuqing, it would be difficult to explain if anything happened to them."
Flander smiled, "You little fellow, sometimes you are frighteningly rational. I've been struggling in the Soul Master world for half my life. I don't need you to teach me these things."
"Thank you for letting Oscar and Ning Rongrong leave the stage early today. If they had been injured, I would feel even worse."
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Dean, you are a good person, it's just a bit of a shame."
Even after leaving the original Shrek Academy and joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy, everyone still called Flander "Dean," which was a sign of respect for him.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo sat together.
Ning Fengzhi said with some emotion, "Uncle Bone, it was indeed the right decision to arrange Yang Xiong by Rong Rong's side back then. Otherwise, Rong Rong might have been seriously injured in today's match."
Bone Douluo nodded, "This kid did a good job in this regard. He knew to protect Rong Rong's safety immediately, and it wasn't a waste of the effort we put into him."
The usually calm Sword Douluo's expression changed in surprise, "Old Bone, Fengzhi, what are you talking about? Was Rong Rong in danger? I need to go see Rong Rong."
Bone Douluo quickly said, "Old Sword, Rong Rong is fine. It was just participating in the Soul Master Competition. It's just that the opposing soul master's soul skills were quite powerful, and someone on their team was a bit overconfident and wanted to take it head-on. Fortunately, Yang Xiong let her leave the stage early."
Sword Douluo didn't care what Bone Douluo said and anxiously prepared to fly away, "According to you, Rong Rong was probably frightened. I also need to go see Rong Rong, otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Seeing Sword Douluo fly away quickly on his sword, Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi exchanged glances. Finally, Ning Fengzhi swallowed and said, "Uncle Bone, do you think Uncle Sword is afraid that Rong Rong was frightened, or does he just want to see Rong Rong?"
Bone Douluo snorted coldly, "This old sword is actually playing such little tricks. He wants to take the opportunity to sneak out of the sect to see Rong Rong."
Ning Fengzhi: ...
After a moment of silence, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Uncle Bone, don't you think Yang Xiong's defense is beyond everyone's imagination? His talent in cultivating defense is probably greater than we thought. Perhaps you should make a decision sooner."
Bone Douluo rarely showed an expression of appreciation, "Fengzhi, you're mistaken. This kid Yang Xiong is not only strong in defense, but his attack power should be even stronger. In the entire Heaven Dou Area, purely in terms of attack and defense, I'm afraid no one is his match."
Ning Fengzhi showed a hint of confusion, "Uncle Bone, what do you mean by that?"
Bone Douluo sighed, "Fengzhi, this Yang Xiong is much smarter than you and I imagined. Compared to those students who are in the spotlight, he knows how to hide his strength better."
"I dare say, he has hidden at least thirty percent of his strength, perhaps even more. Think about it, if we hadn't sent people to observe him secretly, who would know that he also has a top-tier defensive external soul bone? Perhaps even his family doesn't know."
In fact, Bone Douluo was right, Yang Xiong had indeed hidden his strength, but it was not just thirty percent.
Since Yang Xiong was arranged as a support system soul master, he hadn't had much opportunity to perform in the matches so far, and no one had seen his attack power. Neither his teleportation nor his evolved Rasengan had been demonstrated to anyone, especially after the secondary development of the Rasengan, its power had greatly increased, to the point where even Yang Xiong at this stage couldn't fully control it.
It wasn't until evening that Tang San woke up, but he felt sore all over, especially his skin which was filled with a burning sensation, and even his bones felt like they were about to shatter.
Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke, "Little San, you're finally awake. The doctor said you need to rest for two days. Don't move around these two days."
Tang San endured the severe pain and struggled to speak, "Teacher, how is Xiao Wu? She wasn't seriously injured, was she?"
Yu Xiaogang said, "Xiao Wu has also been treated. She woke up an hour ago, but she's asleep again now. Her injuries are much lighter than yours, but the doctor also advised her not to move around for these two days."
Tang San finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking carefully, he asked, "Teacher, what was the result of this match?"
Yu Xiaogang sighed, "Little San, I know your feelings for Xiao Wu are deep, but sometimes you are a bit too stubborn. I don't know if this personality of yours is right or wrong."
