On the Soul Battle viewing platform, Grandmaster and the others were initially startled when they saw the never-before-seen Shadow Soul Beast. They immediately stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
Having lived for several decades, they were utterly unfamiliar with the abilities Cheng Xiao displayed on the Soul Battle stage. Regardless of other abilities, the mere ability to summon Shadow Soul Beasts was already incredibly powerful.
Moreover, he was only at level thirty-something, yet he could already summon over a dozen Shadow Soul Beasts. What would the scene be like when his soul power level increased further?
On the Soul Battle stage, Tang San could only flee in a sorry state in the face of the Man Faced Demon Spider's attacks. The external Soul Bone on his back hadn't fully fused with him yet, so the abilities he could unleash weren't as strong as expected.
Furthermore, the Eight Spider Lances were originally produced from the Man Faced Demon Spider. Using the Eight Spider Lances to attack the Man Faced Demon Spider was like using your own bones to hit yourself.
Watching Tang San scurrying around like a mouse, the Man Faced Demon Spider was infuriated. This human soul master dared to attack it with the bones of its own deceased kin. How could it endure this?
The Man Faced Demon Spider's two front legs swept forward horizontally, and a sharp, cold light flashed out, directly striking Tang San's external Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances.
With a loud bang, Tang San was sent flying. He hadn't fully integrated with the Eight Spider Lances yet, and the Man Faced Demon Spider's terrifying attack nearly shattered them.
Tang San wasn't doing well either. The pain from his back made him gasp, and then a mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, splattering on the ground.
On the viewing platform, Flender stared at the scene before him, dumbfounded. "Although this Man Faced Demon Spider isn't the soul beast's original body, its strength is no less than the Man Faced Demon Spider that Tang San absorbed."
Hearing this, Grandmaster didn't speak. His face was so gloomy it seemed like water would drip from it. The confident look he had before vanished completely. His rough hands clenched tightly, unable to bear watching his disciple's miserable state on the Soul Arena.
"How could this be..." Tang San climbed up from the ground, retracting his Eight Spider Lances. He knew very well how strong the Eight Spider Lances were, but facing the Man Faced Demon Spider's powerful attack, his Eight Spider Lances had almost been shattered.
While Tang San was secretly shocked, his expression was also somewhat unsightly. Grandmaster had once said that as long as he used the Eight Spider Soul Bone, the opponent generally wouldn't last many rounds. But now, it seemed like he was the one who couldn't last more than a few rounds.
Due to the external Soul Bone not being fully fused, Tang San's face was indeed unsightly, but the paleness on his face was hard to look at.
At this moment, Flender in the spectator seats wanted Tang San to admit defeat, but after all, he wasn't his disciple, and moreover, Tang San's real teacher, Grandmaster, hadn't spoken. As the dean, he didn't know whether to open his mouth.
He quietly glanced at Grandmaster beside him, but saw his face was gloomy, his palms clenched, yet he didn't make any move to have Tang San admit defeat. Could it be that Tang San still had some secret weapon?
"Tang San, admit defeat. You can't beat me." Cheng Xiao strode forward, the Shadow Soldiers behind him following their king, but keeping some distance.
Although they weren't very strong Soul Beasts, after becoming Shadow Soldiers, they would gradually grow stronger along with Cheng Xiao, moving closer to the king. And this was the terrifying aspect of the Shadow Soldiers.
"Admit defeat?" Tang San lowered his head, his eyes flickering with a faint purple light. He had already decided that since the Eight Spider Soul Bone couldn't win this match, he could only use his final trump card.
"You're celebrating too early!" As Tang San raised his right hand, a black box appeared in it, seemingly out of nowhere. This black box was none other than the Tang Sect's mechanical hidden weapon, the Zhuge God Crossbow!
As Tang San activated it, a series of clattering sounds echoed, and the spectators only saw a blur before a string of rapid "puffs" filled the air.
The speed of that sudden burst was such that even Flender, in the audience, paled, let alone Cheng Xiao.
"Not good, that kid means to kill!" In the VIP box of the Royal Sky team, Qin Ming stood up abruptly the moment he saw the black box in Tang San's hand unleash its attack. He immediately prepared to smash the glass and rush onto the arena to save someone.
However, just as Qin Ming released his martial spirit, Cheng Xiao on the stage remained calm. Facing the Zhuge God Crossbow, which could kill a Soul Ancestor of the fortieth rank, Cheng Xiao's eyes held nothing but tranquility, with a hint of disdain.
The sixteen crossbow bolts, like lightning, pierced the air and were about to strike Cheng Xiao. In that instant, shadows rose from the ground like phantoms. Leading them was a three-meter-tall ape-like Soul Beast, the most powerful ten-thousand-year Soul Beast among the Shadow Soldiers.
"Clatter, clatter..."
With the appearance of the Shadow Soldiers, Tang San's supposedly superior crossbow bolts fell to the ground uselessly.
"How is this possible!" Seeing his ultimate weapon fail, Tang San was completely stunned. He could never have imagined that his Tang Sect hidden weapon, the Zhuge God Crossbow, couldn't even scratch the opponent.
While Tang San was stunned in place, Cheng Xiao's figure followed closely behind. His heavy fist, condensed with black smoke, tore through the air, landing squarely on Tang San's chest.
With a muffled thud, Tang San was sent flying by Cheng Xiao's punch, his body shooting out like a cannonball and falling straight off the arena.
After falling off the arena, Tang San tried to struggle, but his soul power and inner strength were completely exhausted. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only succumb to the exhaustion of his stamina, soul power, and inner strength, and fell into a coma.
According to the rules of the Great Soul Arena, falling off the arena meant defeat. After Tang San was eliminated, Cheng Xiao casually kicked Dai Mubai off as well. Thus, this two-on-two soul battle came to an end.
As the host loudly announced the victory of this match, the teachers of Shrek immediately rushed towards Tang San and Dai Mubai below the stage. These were their promising students from Shrek, and they couldn't afford any losses.
Seeing the soul battle end, Cheng Xiao waved his hand, and the Shadow Soldiers all returned to the shadows. He himself then jumped off the arena and left with Ye Lingling.
Cheng Xiao and Ye Lingling's graceful departure completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire audience. They loved watching this kind of exciting, uncertain match. So, after Cheng Xiao left, the entire Great Soul Arena was chanting the name of the Shadow Begonia combination.
