Chapter 210: Dugu Bo Judges Tang San on the Stage?
On the Soul Arena.
Just as the dazzling, mesmerizing seven-colored light spread like a tide, about to engulf the entire arena, Tang San's urgent shout suddenly rang out:
"Close your eyes!"
Out of absolute trust in Tang San, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and the others did not hesitate at all, instantly closing their eyes and simultaneously gathering their soul power on their bodies, assuming a defensive posture.
"Oh? You think closing your eyes will work? Too naive!"
"In my Seven Asura Illusion, all five senses will be blinded! Even if you are in a dream, you will not escape my control!"
Seeing this, the captain of Canghui Academy, the only Soul Master, immediately revealed a mocking sneer on his face. He maintained the release of the illusion while speaking arrogantly.
He was full of confidence, as if victory was already in his grasp, and lifted his foot to walk towards Tang San, who was standing in place with his eyes closed, preparing to deal with this core control-type Soul Master first.
However, just as he lifted his foot...
Tang San's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open!
The next second, two condensed, almost tangible purple beams of light, like swords piercing the dawn, shot forth from his eyes!
The light wasn't blinding, but it possessed a strange power capable of piercing through illusion.
It was the Tang Sect's ultimate technique—the Purple Demon Eye!
With the aid of the Purple Demon Eye, the dazzling, bewitching seven-colored light that filled the sky seemed to become a transparent phantom, no longer able to affect him. The distorted scenes and seductive sounds in the illusion were clearly discernible to him, like reflections in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.
"Heh, what a pity. Your illusions might work on others, but my Purple Demon Eye is immune to all illusions." A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as Tang San looked at the Canghui Academy captain, whose smile had instantly frozen, and sneered.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the Canghui Academy team captain's pupils shrank, his face filled with disbelief!
In that instant of shock and disbelief, Tang San moved!
Without using the Spider Web Bind or a more powerful Soul Skill that required preparation time, Tang San used his simplest, fastest, and quickest-to-activate First Soul Skill.
"Bind!"
With a low shout, Tang San suddenly bent down and slammed his right hand hard on the ground!
"Puff puff puff puff—!"
Instantly, countless thick, dark Blue Silver Grass vines, like living venomous snakes, surged out from beneath the hard Soul Arena floor at an astonishing speed!
These vines precisely avoided the Shrek Academy members, as if preordained, instantly binding the seven members of the Canghui Academy team, whose Soul Power was at its peak due to maintaining the illusion, while their defenses were at their lowest!
In the blink of an eye, all seven members of the Canghui Academy team, including the Soul Master captain, were completely bound tightly by the sudden appearance of the Blue Silver Grass!
Suddenly bound tightly by the dark Blue Silver Grass, which carried an ominous aura, the members of the Canghui Academy team tried to activate their Soul Power to struggle and resist.
Tang San's deep black, ten-thousand-year-old fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up!
As the spirit ring's light flashed, countless sharp, gleaming poisonous thorns protruded from the surface of the dark Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around the Canghui Academy team members!
The next second, these thorns, as if possessing life, mercilessly pierced the skin and muscles of the Canghui Academy members, even drilling into their meridians!
"Ugh—!"
A sharp pain, accompanied by an extreme numbness, instantly spread throughout their bodies!
The Canghui Academy team members felt as if their bodies no longer belonged to them; their spirit power was frozen, unable to move even a finger, only able to stare wide-eyed in terror.
"Poison…you used poison!? Despicable!"
The captain of the Canghui Academy team, relying on slightly stronger spirit power, barely resisted the numbness, squeezing out a weak voice through gritted teeth.
"Heh, despicable? Perhaps. However, I must thank you for your Seven Asura Illusions." Upon hearing this, Tang San's lips curled into a faint smile. He then slowly walked towards the captain, laughing as he went.
"Without the perfect cover created by this thing, I wouldn't be able to easily devour your life force and soul power. With this thing as cover, it's truly... perfect."
"You... what do you want to do?!" Hearing the words "devour life force and soul power," the pupils of the Canghui Academy members instantly shrank to pinpoints, a chill emanating from the depths of their souls causing their voices to change.
However, the only answer they received was a cruel glint in Tang San's eyes.
"Buzz—!"
The dark Blue Silver Grass spikes that had pierced deep into their bodies seemed to transform into countless greedy mouths, suddenly growing another inch longer, taking root even deeper into their flesh and meridians! Immediately afterward, a terrifying and evil suction force erupted from the spikes!
"Hah...hah..."
The Canghui Academy team members let out painful and desperate gasps, like broken bellows. They could clearly feel their life force, like a flood bursting its banks, uncontrollably sweeping through the Blue Silver Grass and into Tang San's body!
Simultaneously, their painstakingly cultivated soul power was also draining away!
The bodies of the Canghui Academy members visibly withered and turned ashen, their skin losing its luster, their eyes rapidly dimming, as if their souls had been ripped away.
In contrast, Tang San's aura, which had been somewhat weakened due to his failed soul ring absorption, now seemed to have received a powerful boost, slowly rising and strengthening.
Even the eerie light on his dark Blue Silver Grass became even darker and more sinister!
All within just a few seconds...
Under the terrifying devouring power of the Dark Blue Silver Grass, the seven members of the Canghui Academy team collapsed to the ground one after another, as if all their energy had been drained. Their bodies convulsed involuntarily, foaming at the mouth, and their eyes rolled upwards uncontrollably.
Even more chilling was that their skin lost its color, turning ashen and dry, as if they had aged more than ten years in an instant, their breaths becoming extremely weak.
Just as the seven-colored light had not completely dissipated, and the outside vision was still blurred, in that instant...
A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. He flicked the dark Blue Silver Grass in his hand like a serpent, instantly splitting into several strands. These strands weren't used for attack, but rather gently yet firmly wrapped around himself and the other six Shrek Academy members, including Dai Mubai and Tai Long, who still had their eyes closed!
"Tang San! What... what are you doing?!"
Feeling the sudden binding sensation, Dai Mubai was startled. Although he still remembered Tang San's instructions to keep his eyes closed, he couldn't help but ask urgently in a low voice.
Tang San's voice, calm to the point of being icy, rang quickly in Dai Mubai's ears:
"Mubai, don't move! The Canghui Academy people are too badly injured. I have to make sure you're injured too. Otherwise, if the competition committee investigates further, they might find something they shouldn't! We must give a unified story: it was a mutual destruction in the illusion!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's heart sank. Although his eyes were closed, the cold, evil suction he had felt from Tang San's direction for that brief moment, along with the abrupt cessation of the Canghui Academy people's screams, gave him a vague idea of what was going on. His voice trembled slightly as he asked, "You... what exactly did you do to the Canghui Academy people just now?"
"You don't need to know that!" Tang San's tone was decisive and unquestionable. "You just need to remember that we've already won the competition! Now, please cooperate with me!"
The moment his words fell, before Dai Mubai and the others could react, the dark Blue Silver Grass binding them tightened abruptly.
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
...
The remaining six members of Shrek Academy, including Dai Mubai, simultaneously let out suppressed screams of pain, their bodies staggering backward as if struck by an invisible force.
At the same moment they fell, the seven-colored light enveloping the Soul Arena flickered violently, as if losing its last support, before rapidly receding and dissipating like a tide.
With the light gone, tens of thousands of eyes instantly focused on the Soul Arena.
The vast arena was a scene of utter devastation.
The seven members of Canghui Academy lay sprawled on the ground, their appearances pitiful, their fates unknown.
On Shrek Academy's side, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, Ma Hongjun, and the other six were also lying on the ground, looking exhausted and severely injured.
Only one person remained stubbornly standing.
It was Tang San!
Seeing this scene, the referee paused for a moment before quickly stepping forward to carefully examine both sides. His expression turned extremely grave, especially upon sensing the near-exhaustion of the Canghui Academy team members. He then loudly announced,
"Match over! Shrek Academy wins!"
The entire arena erupted in uproar!
No one had expected that this match, seemingly dominated by Canghui Academy, would end in such a brutal and even bizarre manner!
The entire Heaven Dou Arena fell into a momentary silence, followed by a deafening roar of cheers and shouts!
Countless spectators excitedly stood up, waving their arms and shouting Shrek's name!
This match, a reversal of fortune and a victory against all odds, had greatly stimulated their senses, making them ecstatic!
In the VIP seats...
Emperor Xue Ye was also filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but stand up, looking at Tang San standing alone on the Soul Arena and the fallen teammates of both sides. His voice was filled with shock as he exclaimed,
"What? Shrek Academy actually won? This... Canghui Academy just used a Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique!"
Sitting beside him, Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who had been observing the match with an air of composure, shook his head slightly and corrected him,
"Your Majesty, please look closely. The fusion technique that Canghui Academy just used had mixed spirit power. Although the light was bright, its flow was sluggish. It should only be a Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, not a true Spirit Fusion Technique. The power of the two is incomparable."
As he spoke, his gaze did not leave the Soul Arena, but instead fell on the Canghui Academy teammates who were lying on the ground, barely breathing.
When his sharp gaze swept over their bodies, his pupils suddenly contracted!
On the exposed skin of the team members, countless tiny, pinhole-like, pitch-black holes were visible! The flesh around these holes was an unnatural grayish-black, and thick, foul-smelling black blood was slowly seeping out.
"What is this?" Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression instantly turned extremely solemn. With his knowledge, he immediately realized that this was no ordinary injury!
It seemed more like an injury inflicted by some extremely insidious spirit with devouring properties!
Just as he was filled with suspicion and preparing to go on stage to investigate further, a figure in emerald green appeared in the center of the arena like a ghost, without warning! The newcomer wore a dark green robe, his eyes sharp as a hawk's—it was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
His appearance instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience.
Even the thunderous cheers involuntarily subsided.
Dugu Bo didn't even glance at the referee or Tang San standing to the side. He pointed directly at the Canghui Academy team members on the ground, their bodies riddled with strange holes and oozing black blood, and said in a deep voice: "Referee! Tournament Organizing Committee! For the safety of all participating students, there's something I must tell you here in front of everyone!"
