The first option to be ruled out was attempting to escape the range of the soul skill. Dai Mubai knew very clearly that without the assistance of a soul tool, his speed was absolutely insufficient to break free from this giant net.
Since that was the case, then he would have to use attack to break the control. His second soul ring instantly lit up, and a White Tiger Fierce Light Wave was spat out.
This White Tiger Fierce Light Wave was not like the original form of the soul skill directly bestowed by the soul ring, which appeared as a loose, massive cluster.
This was a golden light projectile that seemed almost solid—every bit of soul power condensed within it with no leakage at all.
Zero point two seconds later, the light projectile met the spiderweb, triggering a violent explosion. The shockwave created by the blast forcibly lifted the spiderweb—already less than half a meter from the top of Dai Mubai's head—upward and flung it behind him.
However, being so close to the center of the explosion, Dai Mubai—even though he crouched low with his head covered and pushed his White Tiger Barrier to its limit—was still affected by the aftershock, causing a slight pause in his movements.
Tang San, far away, instantly seized on this flaw. Blue Silver Grass surged forward. This time, Dai Mubai did not have enough time to use his White Tiger Barrier to fully protect himself.
Tang San activated his first and second soul skills one after another, restraining Dai Mubai on the spot, and then planned to immediately activate his third soul skill to thoroughly control him before he could break free, ending the fight completely.
But Tang San miscalculated again. Dai Mubai did not urgently attempt to struggle free from the Blue Silver Grass as Tang San expected.
Instead, he chose to attack Tang San directly, forcing Tang San to abandon his plan of continuing his control skills.
Dai Mubai's second soul ring lit up again—another White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, but this time it was a golden beam only as thick as a baby's fist.
The beam shot from Dai Mubai's mouth, crossing the distance between them in an instant and arriving right before Tang San.
Sensing the sharp, piercing intent contained within the beam—and knowing he absolutely could not block it with his body—Tang San could only release his fully-formed third soul skill in front of himself.
He also filled the gaps of the spiderweb with large amounts of Blue Silver Grass to form a Blue Silver Grass shield, blocking the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave's attack.
During the moment when Tang San was delayed by Dai Mubai's strike, Dai Mubai broke free from the Blue Silver Grass using his White Tiger Barrier and his sharp tiger claws.
He spat another beam-shaped White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, forcing Tang San to use his Eight Spider Lances to defend, and then Dai Mubai accelerated fiercely toward Tang San.
This choice—to charge in and clash head-on with the poisonous Eight Spider Lances—appeared reckless, but was in fact carefully calculated by Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai was certain that Tang San—whose soul power was only at Rank 33—was already in poor condition. This was the perfect time to end the fight in one go.
If he chose to avoid the poison and instead launched another long-range White Tiger Fierce Light Wave out of fear of the Eight Spider Lances…
The result might become both of them exhausting their soul power, with neither able to defeat the other.
The teachers watching from outside the field all nodded slowly. Zhao Wuji even spoke directly:"Not bad. This kid Dai Mubai really has some brains. Tang San is about to lose."
The other teachers agreed. Even the Master knew that given the situation, his disciple could no longer turn the tide using only his Blue Silver Grass.
The teachers had judged the outcome. But the students—other than Oscar—were still confused.
"Hey, Little Ao, do you know why the teachers say Tang San is about to lose?"Ning Rongrong, standing to Oscar's right, asked directly. As always, she followed the principle of asking when she didn't understand.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu also focused their gazes on Oscar. Oscar even felt the teachers to his left turning their eyes toward him.
Under the pressure of the teachers' stares, Oscar didn't dare dodge the question, and honestly explained:
"What you're seeing now is Tang San still able to use the Eight Spider Lances and fight Dai Boss evenly. It seems like the outcome hasn't been decided yet.But that's only on the surface.
In reality, Tang San's soul power absolutely can't last much longer. He's already a spent arrow.
Think back to the battle. From start to now, Tang San has been fighting nonstop. Not only has he maintained his first soul skill the whole time, but he also used his third soul skill twice in a row.
He just obtained his third soul ring! How could he have so much soul power to burn?
Right now, the Eight Spider Lances helping him maintain the fight will very soon become the last straw that breaks him."
Oscar's explanation immediately made the three girls realize what they had overlooked—the soul power difference between Tang San and Dai Mubai.
On the other side, Shao Xin nodded after hearing Oscar's answer."Not bad. You observed very carefully. Keep it up."
Leaving the discussion aside and returning to the battle—
Tang San, once again having his plans disrupted and forced to use his Eight Spider Lances to block the attack, did not manage to stop Dai Mubai's charge, nor retreat in time. He was forced into close-combat again.
This time, with almost no soul power left but still wanting to win, Tang San used the Eight Spider Lances. Poison had become his only hope for a comeback.
However, Dai Mubai's close-combat skills were truly not exaggerated. Even facing the deadly Eight Spider Lances, with victory already in reach, he still fought steadily.
Although Dai Mubai could not directly hit Tang San and even fell into a defensive state for a moment…
He combined the ordinary White Tiger Fierce Light Wave with the White Tiger Barrier, preventing the Eight Spider Lances from landing even a single effective strike. As time passed, the scale of victory tilted toward Dai Mubai.
The final result presented no surprises.
Ten minutes later, Tang San's soul power was exhausted, leaving him unable to control the Eight Spider Lances. Dai Mubai seized the moment, landing a solid tiger palm strike on Tang San's chest, sending him flying and coughing blood—winning the spar.
After the fight ended, Shao Xin gave Tang San a candy capable of healing injuries, instantly restoring most of the internal damage caused by Dai Mubai's strike.
As for Dai Mubai, he had consumed a lot of soul power but had not been injured, so naturally he could not enjoy Shao Xin's candy.
Once everyone lined up again, they originally thought the Master would immediately arrange the next match. Unexpectedly, he began summarizing the previous battle on the spot.
Following habit, he first analyzed the one who lost—Tang San. Oscar noticed that Tang San immediately tensed up when he saw the Master's gaze.
Oscar looked carefully at the Master's expression but couldn't tell whether he was angry or not. Why was Tang San so nervous?
But very quickly, Oscar realized Tang San had every reason to be nervous.
The Master was truly furious.
"Tang San, is this how I've taught you all these years?"The Master's tone was so severe that even though Oscar knew the scolding wasn't aimed at him, he still stood straighter instinctively.
"Look at what you did today! The entire fight you were careless, overconfident.
You're a control-type soul master—why didn't you retreat at the beginning and maintain a safe distance?
Were you so sure you could control Dai Mubai? And the result? Caught completely off guard, weren't you?
Why didn't you consider the possibility that you wouldn't be able to control him?!
And facing an opponent with higher soul power than you, who taught you to keep using a third soul skill that consumes a huge amount of soul power?
Dai Mubai already showed he could break your third soul skill!Didn't you use your brain? How did you dare use it again?
After class today, you'll run laps with Oscar and Ma Hongjun—three-times-weighted, five laps. Go clear your head.
And don't forget—there's still the mess you made in the Star Dou Forest that hasn't been settled!"
