"Oscar, make me a Flying Sausage." Tang San spoke quickly. As a precaution, he swallowed a Detox Sausage in advance.
"Got it." Oscar didn't hesitate and immediately began creating one.
Their exchange lasted only a few blinks. As Yu Tianheng and the others closed in, Xiao Wu bent her legs in midair. "Third soul skill, Teleportation!"
Her figure flickered twice in succession, instantly appearing before Yang Yunhai. Her eyes glowed with red light.
"Second soul skill, Charm!"
Through a small opening in the vines, her gaze met his azure eyes.
"Hiss—" Yang Yunhai, not focusing his spiritual power to resist, felt his mind stall. His soul power flow froze for a second, his right hand clutching his temple as his head swayed. The vines around him slackened slightly.
At that moment—
"Urgh!" Xiao Wu's body suddenly trembled. Her eyes bloodshot, her body overheated, nauseous, her nose bleeding. Like a sudden fever, her body weakened and dropped from the air.
"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's face twisted in shock, pupils dilating.
"Xiao Hai!" With the vines opening, Dugu Yan finally saw him clutching his head in pain, clearly hit by a soul skill. Worse, the Shrek control Soul Master with Eight Spider Lances stood nearby, face twisted, ready to strike. Her expression hardened, rage boiling up.
"Third soul skill, Jade Phosphorus Violet Poison!"
Purple mist erupted, flooding the air and instantly covering the falling Xiao Wu.
Tang San reacted fast. A Blue Silver Grass vine shot out, wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist, and yanked her back. Still, she had been poisoned.
"First soul skill, Phoenix Fire Line!" Ma Hongjun forced out his dwindling soul power, spraying flames.
"Second soul skill, White Tiger Light Wave!" Dai Mubai followed up, blasting a beam straight at Dugu Yan.
Yang Yunhai recovered within a second, snapping his vines tight again. His second soul skill activated, absorbing both soul power in the air and the poisonous mist, pulling it away before it spread deeper into their defense.
Meanwhile, Tang San clenched his fist.
"Second soul skill, Parasite!"
Yu Tianheng and the others had passed through his Spider Web Restraint earlier. Seeds he had left behind now sprouted vines across their bodies.
"So he also has a parasitic soul skill?" Yu Tianheng's face changed. His body shook.
"Second soul skill, Thunderbolt!"
Electricity surged. Enhanced by his third skill, his lightning instantly blasted away the vines binding him.
'As expected, weaker than Xiao Hai's.' He turned, intending to help his teammates break free—
"Don't even think about it! Third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" Dai Mubai roared, charging straight at him.
The vines were too many. Yu Tianheng couldn't break them all in time. Forced to turn back, he clashed with Dai Mubai, shouting, "Yu Feng! Free Oslo and Zhu Zhuqing first!"
The enemy's fire-type Soul Master was exhausted, no threat. The two support Soul Masters were harmless.
"First soul skill, Wing Blade!" Yu Feng dived down, wings cutting through the air, aiming for the entangling vines.
"No need. Go for the other three Soul Masters." Yang Yunhai's voice cut across.
He triggered the spores he had planted earlier. Vines erupted from the waists of Oslo, Yu Tianheng, and Zhu Zhuqing.
Tang San's parasitic vines were pushed aside—replaced with his. From Yu Tianheng's waist, a vine lashed toward Dai Mubai.
"Zhu Zhuqing, assist Yu Feng. Oslo, back up the captain!" Yang Yunhai commanded.
Their restraints instantly retracted, and the two darted toward their targets.
"First soul skill, White Tiger Barrier!" Dai Mubai quickly raised a shield of light, intercepting the vine's strike, letting the recoil help him retreat.
His heart sank. 'If not for the barrier, I'd be finished.'
Seeing he couldn't restrain them, Yang Yunhai pulled back his vines. Yu Tianheng lunged forward, pressing Dai Mubai once again.
Dai Mubai ground his teeth. He was forced to defend, constantly on guard against more vines lashing out. Worse still, another Soul Elder was rushing over. Two against one—he had no chance.
The situation felt grim.
"Blue Silver Grass can be used like this?" In the stands, Flender's eyes widened.
"Parasitic vines…" Yu Xiaogang muttered in disbelief. It was clearly a new development of the Parasite skill.
"Impressive!" The audience roared with excitement, cheering louder and louder.
But as Yu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing rushed forward, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun turned pale.
Just then, Tang San had already sealed Xiao Wu's acupuncture points to stop the poison spreading, and fed her a Detox Sausage. He stood, his face ice-cold, eyes murderous.
"You think beating us will be that easy?"
His hands blurred to his waist.
"Stop!" Yang Yunhai's voice boomed. His vines flared, siphoning soul power from his teammates' spores.
In an instant, countless vines exploded outward, wrapping around his allies and even snaring Yu Feng mid-dive.
"???" Yu Feng's mind blanked as he crashed to the ground.
"Swish, swish, swish!" The faint whistling of projectiles sliced through the air.
"You bastard—can't accept defeat?!" Dugu Bo cursed aloud from the stands.
Knives, needles, nails, darts—countless crafted weapons flew from Tang San's hands like a storm, aimed straight for Yang Yunhai and Dugu Yan.
'Hurt Xiao Wu, and you deserve to die!'
His purple eyes glowed. He aimed for vital points—the throat, the heart.
The crowd's scalps tingled. Even Dugu Bo's face turned stormy, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
'Thank heavens I already took away his Crystalline Hair Needle. This Tang San really has gone mad. Xiao Wu gets hurt, and he loses all reason. This isn't sparring anymore—this is attempted murder.' Yang Yunhai's heart sank.
A sudden sting hit his leg—another needle.
"Hiss!" Dugu Yan groaned in pain beside him.
Yang Yunhai immediately pulled her and Ye Lingling back, vines shielding them in a cocoon.
'Purple Demon Eye combined with hidden weapons… frighteningly precise. I left only the tiniest gaps, and he still found them. Sister Yan, I'm sorry…' He reinforced the vines and turned to her.
"Sister Yan, are you alright?"
"I already took your antidote." Her voice was low, trembling with fury. Then she raised her tone for all to hear: "This bastard is shameless! Using man-made weapons on the Soul Arena is one thing, but poisoning them too?!"
"Damn it!" Dugu Bo erupted, eyes chilling.
The stands roared in outrage.
"This insults Soul Masters everywhere!" someone yelled.
"Poisoned weapons? That's murder!"
"Students trained like this—vicious, petty, disgraceful! Can't accept defeat, so they cheat? I'll never support the Shrek team again!"
The uproar shook the entire arena.
