Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 169: Objective Achieved, Tang San vs. Xiao Yu

After a brief moment of contemplation, Qian Daoliu spoke.

"Qian Jun, will Xue'er be coming to Spirit City this time?"

"Reporting to the Grand Worship, according to the original plan, the young lady will be representing Emperor Xue Ye, who cannot attend, to observe the progress of the matches!"

"Good. While protecting Xue'er, the four of you must also protect Xiao Yu. That woman, now that she knows of Xiao Yu's existence, will surely not miss the opportunity to hunt him down out of jealousy!!"

"Yes, Grand Worship!!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

With that, Qian Jun quickly left.

On the high platform, Qian Daoliu watched Qian Jun depart, then turned to look at the angel statue above.

His face was filled with complex emotions.

"A light energy comparable to Xue'er's... Could there be a second angel god's inheritance in this world?! I wonder what kind of light energy that boy Xiao Yu possesses..."

Soon, as time flew by, amidst the secret schemes of various factions, the night passed quickly.

At Blue Tyrant Academy, in the small wooden house.

After spending half the night with Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan, Xiao Yu walked out of the small wooden house feeling refreshed. Behind him, Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan followed, their legs slightly trembling.

"Xiao Yu, you should hurry up and take Xiao Wu and the others. Let them help share the burden, or else you're going to exhaust me and Yan Yan to death!" Liu Erlong scolded.

"Hey, Teacher Erlong, weren't you the one who claimed you could take me on in a battle of dragons and phoenixes? How come now, even with Yan Yan's help, you've admitted defeat?"

"Who knew you'd be so crazy?!"

Liu Erlong's brows furrowed in anger.

Recalling Xiao Yu's terrifying combat prowess from the previous night, both Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan blushed deeply.

Last night, to satisfy Xiao Yu, Liu Erlong, a Soul Douluo, had suffered greatly.

All three of her safe passages had been traversed multiple times.

Her dragon horns had nearly been torn off.

Although Dugu Yan had endured less impact, she had almost been broken at her weakest point.

After the intense battle late into the night, the midnight snack they had prepared to replenish their energy went uneaten because they were simply too exhausted.

"Alright, the match is about to start. Let's head over now!"

After some bickering, Liu Erlong put away her delicate demeanor and resumed her role as the academy dean.

She led the group to the dueling arena.

Inside the arena, as the five teams that had advanced to the knockout stage entered, the matches officially began.

Since Blue Tyrant Academy had an undefeated record, they automatically advanced to the finals.

The remaining four teams would compete for the other spot in the finals.

The other academies had no objections to this arrangement.

After drawing lots, Blazing Fire Academy, Shenfeng Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Shrek Academy determined the order of their matches.

The first match was between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shenfeng Academy.

The second match was between Blazing Fire Academy and Shrek Academy.

The first match began. Although Shenfeng Academy was without Feng Xiaotian, they still had two Soul Ancestors to hold the fort.

Thus, they secured the victory.

As for Blazing Fire Academy, they straightforwardly conceded defeat.

The official reason was that they didn't want to face Shrek Academy's trash.

Since it didn't affect their ranking, they couldn't be bothered to engage with Shrek's garbage.

What their true motives were, whether they had other plans, was unknown. After all, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang weren't the type to act impulsively.

In the end, Shrek Academy advanced directly to face Shenfeng Academy.

Against Shenfeng Academy, Tang San, now the strongest in Shrek Academy, didn't take the field first. Instead, they followed the standard rotation system to conserve Tang San's energy for his match against Xiao Yu.

Flender didn't object to this.

After all, if Tang San took the field, the others wouldn't get a chance to showcase themselves.

The other members of Shrek Academy also gave their all against Shenfeng Academy, displaying their unique styles.

Following Flender's teachings from the previous day, they fought to win where they could and accepted losses where they couldn't, without putting too much pressure on themselves.

In the end, Shenfeng Academy, with three members remaining, was defeated by Tang San, who took down all three in succession.

Moreover, Tang San's ruthless strikes left the last three with varying degrees of injuries, requiring several days of treatment and recovery.

At this point, the observing academies noticed the stark contrast in Shrek Academy's demeanor.

It seemed that, apart from Tang San, the others were there to showcase and challenge themselves.

But Tang San?!

He didn't seem to be there for the competition—he was there to kill.

None of his opponents left the stage unscathed.

This stark contrast within the academy left everyone puzzled.

After Shrek Academy defeated Shenfeng Academy, Tang San, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, coldly glared at Xiao Yu.

Though Tang San didn't say a word, his intentions were clear.

In response to Tang San's provocation, Xiao Yu calmly stepped onto the stage.

"Xiao Yu, I thought you'd send Dugu Yan up first to wear me down after seeing my strength!" Tang San, with the Clear Sky Hammer resting on his shoulder, sneered.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu crossed his arms and retorted, "Tang San, if it weren't for the spirit bone you wagered, I wouldn't even bother coming up here. Trash like you isn't worthy of being my opponent!!"

"Oh? Then you'd better take a good look at whether I'm worthy or not!"

Tang San confidently smiled.

Then, at Referee Zhi Lin's call, the match officially began.

"Come fight, Xiao Yu!!"

As the match started, Tang San, for some reason, put away the Clear Sky Hammer. Instead, countless dark blue Silver Grass rapidly spread across the ground toward Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu simply sneered.

With a casual wave, he drew an array in the air.

A formation appeared above him, and Wo Long stepped out from within.

Seeing this, Flender, who had been deep in thought all night, frowned. Now, seeing it again, it felt even more familiar.

He glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who looked frenzied, and fell into deep thought.

On the stage, Wo Long looked at the incoming Silver Grass and unleashed a thick golden beam from its mouth.

"Hum!!"

"Boom!!"

Tang San's Silver Grass was instantly reduced to ashes by the golden beam.

Seeing the golden beam rapidly approaching, Tang San quickly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge.

"Damn it, Silver Grass is truly useless. I was hoping to absorb some of Xiao Yu's soul power..."

Seeing the Silver Grass fail, Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer again and charged toward Xiao Yu.
