—------------------—
If it were his previous hardening ability, it might not have been able to completely block the second round of Godly Zhuge Crossbow attacks, but under the thousand-year amplification from the treasure chest Shi Quan plundered, the two-thousand-year hardening ability, combined with the special nature of the Blue Silver King, still managed to block it.
Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines, as no one had expected that inconspicuous black clip to unleash such formidable power.
When Tang San used his Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances to deal with the hardened Blue Silver King, he already felt that these Blue Silver Grass were perhaps a bit too hard.
Now, experiencing it more directly, although surprised, he didn't show any great alarm, because he had long anticipated that the Godly Zhuge Crossbow would pose little threat to Shi Quan; his true attack was his Third Soul Skill.
As Shi Quan used the vine wall to block the attack, the Third Soul Ring beneath Tang San's body had already lit up again, a bright purple light enveloping his entire body, overshadowing the light of his other two spirit rings.
At the same time as the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was fired from his left hand, his right hand lifted, and a brilliant blue light burst forth from his palm.
A ball of bluish-green light shot out, following the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, passing through the vine wall broken by the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and binding towards Shi Quan.
At this moment, in Tang San's eyes, Shi Quan had nowhere to hide.
Although he didn't know why his devouring ability couldn't affect Shi Quan, his Third Soul Skill was not simple.
Tang San's Third Soul Skill, just as Shi Quan expected, came from a two-thousand-year-old Soul Devouring Spider.
Besides its devouring ability, its toughness and solidity were such that even Dai Mubai couldn't break free; he didn't believe Shi Quan could possess stronger explosive power than Dai Mubai!
"Xiao San won!" Seeing this scene, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but shout excitedly, his stiff mouth almost grinning to his ears, showing how excited he was at that moment.
In his opinion, as long as Tang San won, it would vindicate him.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was feeling smug, Flender's low voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Not necessarily!"
Zhao Wuji, who was beside him, nodded in deep agreement.
Their strength was greater than Yu Xiaogang's, and their sensory perception was naturally not comparable to Yu Xiaogang, a twenty-ninth-level Spirit Grandmaster.
Indeed.
The next moment, the shattered Blue Silver King fragments in front of Shi Quan suddenly grew into a large amount of Blue Silver King.
Tang San's Soul Devouring Spider Web grew to five meters in the blink of an eye, while these Blue Silver King vines also reached nearly ten meters in the blink of an eye.
An ordinary person might not react in time due to the obstruction of their vision, but how could Shi Quan, with his ability to perceive energy, not have noticed Tang San's small movements?
As the vine wall receded, Shi Quan raised his hand and threw a punch, and the Blue Silver King's vines began to contract violently, not only enveloping Tang San's five-meter diameter Soul Devouring Spider Web, but with the powerful force and Shi Quan's punch, it directly wrapped Tang San in the middle as well.
"This... how is this possible? How can you still have spirit power to use your Third Soul Skill!"
Wrapped by the Blue Silver Strangulation vines, Tang San's face showed disbelief, but he quickly understood, because he felt a devouring ability similar to his Soul Devouring Spider Web from the surrounding strangling vines!
There was no need to guess; the energy absorbed and disappeared by these vines certainly wouldn't vanish into thin air; it must have been fed back into Shi Quan's body.
Having absorbed the spirit power of Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai successively, it was no wonder Shi Quan still possessed the ability to unleash his Third Soul Skill.
With this thought, after a brief moment of confusion, Tang San immediately recovered from his momentary panic.
While circulating the Blue Silver Grass's devouring power to resist the Blue Silver Strangulation's devouring force, he quickly controlled his incredibly sharp Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances to begin cutting the vines that bound him.
But Tang San's expression quickly changed.
The power of the surrounding vines was astonishingly exaggerated.
Even if he could counteract the devouring power, he couldn't cope with the strangling power inherent in the Blue Silver Strangulation.
The cutting Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances were soon tightly bound in place, unable to move.
And the bones throughout his body were making crackling sounds under the force of the Blue Silver Strangulation.
Tang San let out a painful growl, his blood-red eyes fixed on Shi Quan, filled with unwillingness.
"I forgot to tell you, my Blue Silver Grass now has a new name..." Shi Quan slowly walked to Tang San's front, "...Its name is Blue Silver King."
"Blue Silver King?" Tang San murmured to himself, his expression a bit bewildered.
"My Blue Silver Grass has evolved into the king among Blue Silver Grass.
As for your Blue Silver Grass, which has already been ruined by poison, it can only stagnate in place.
This is the gap between you and me.
You will never be able to cross this class barrier, because there can only be one king! And your Blue Silver Grass will always only be Blue Silver Grass!"
Hearing Shi Quan's mocking voice, coupled with the influence of the Blue Silver Strangulation's power, Tang San directly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Silence, dead silence.
The entire central Great Spirit Arena fell into a deathly silence.
Before the match, no one had expected Shrek to be so utterly crushed.
Just when they thought Shrek had already lost, the Heaven Dou Battle Team, facing a guaranteed victory, surprisingly chose to forfeit, and six members stepped down for a one-on-one sparring match.
And this one-on-one sparring match between Spirit Elders also refreshed everyone's understanding of Spirit Elders.
Especially the scene when Tang San unleashed his external Spirit Bone Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances and chased Shi Quan, it was full of visual impact.
"This was truly an exhilarating individual battle... No, it should be a team battle.
Duodu doesn't even know how to evaluate today's two battles..."
Duodu, the host of the central Great Spirit Arena, was the first to react, flapping her snow-white wings while excitedly saying, "But I still want to thank the Heaven Dou Battle Team and the Shrek Team for bringing everyone such a wonderful Spirit Arena match!
Finally, congratulations to the Heaven Dou Battle Team for winning the final victory of this Spirit Arena match!"
On the Spirit Arena stage, looking at the fainted Tang San, Shi Quan felt that this trip to Soto City had been fruitful.
With a gentle clench of his right hand, the Blue Silver vines covering Tang San turned into blue light and dissipated, merging into Shi Quan's hand.
Looking at Tang San again, his clothes were tattered from being cut by the strangling vines, and his body was covered in purplish-blue ligature marks, looking miserable, but in reality, there were no serious injuries, let alone fatal ones.
As for his Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances behind him, they had already returned to his body due to the exhaustion of his spirit power.
Shi Quan hadn't forgotten Tang Hao, who was behind Tang San, and he didn't dare to go too far.
He didn't want Tang Hao to come looking for trouble in the middle of the night.
As soon as Shi Quan retracted the Blue Silver King, a phantom flashed on the stage, and Flender's figure appeared on the arena, picking up the fainted Tang San from the ground.
Before leaving, he gave Shi Quan a deep look before departing.
Shi Quan ignored Flender and walked off the stage on his own.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, Dugu Yan and the others surrounded him, asking questions all at once.
"Shi Quan, you know that Thousand Hands Asura, right?" Yu Feng leaned his head forward.
"Yes, we were from the same academy before, and there were some conflicts." Shi Quan nodded.
Qin Ming walked forward and sighed, "You, you were still a bit too heavy-handed.
Come with me."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, but thinking that Qin Ming was their teacher, they didn't say much.
With that, Qin Ming led the seven towards Shrek Academy, first respectfully bowing to Flender and Zhao Wuji, and then introducing, "These two are my teachers.
I graduated from Shrek Academy myself, and the members of the Shrek Team are all my teachers' junior disciples.
Lingling, why don't you help them with their injuries?"
Ye Lingling didn't answer directly, but instead turned her gaze to Shi Quan, asking for his opinion.
This scene also drew surprised glances from everyone present; no one had expected Ye Lingling to value Shi Quan's opinion more than that of her own team leader and teacher.
Qin Ming's expression was a bit awkward at this, while Dugu Yan on the side showed a gossiping aunt's smile.
Fortunately, Shi Quan nodded to Ye Lingling, which eased the awkward atmosphere.
White petals fell, and before long, under Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia's healing ability, the Shrek members' injuries quickly recovered.
The powerful healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia once again refreshed everyone's understanding.
However, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Tang San, due to the Blue Silver Strangulation's spirit power absorption, had completely exhausted their spirit power.
Even with their injuries healed, they would need some time to rest before waking up.
After a simple check, Flender finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Quan looked around but didn't see Yu Xiaogang, unsure if he didn't want people to know his relationship with Yu Tianheng, or if he was afraid of being confronted by himself.
"Dean, this is not the place to talk.
May I ask if you could, after the Spirit Arena points are settled, bring a few teachers and junior disciples to the Soto City Grand Hotel for a discussion?
I have some matters I'd like to discuss with you." Qin Ming looked around and then said to Flender.
Flender grinned sinisterly and said, "You kid planning to treat us?"
Qin Ming was startled at first, then remembered his stingy dean's nature and reacted, smiling, "Of course."
"Hahaha, no problem." Flender patted Qin Ming's shoulder.
Why would he not take advantage of free things?
After registering the points, Qin Ming motioned for everyone to return to the hotel first, while he went to pick up the Shrek Team members.
Walking out of the Great Spirit Arena, everyone was still excitedly chatting about today's Spirit Arena match.
"Tianheng, do you still remember me?"
As soon as they walked out of the Great Spirit Arena, a figure suddenly emerged from the intersection ahead, blocking their path.
It was Yu Xiaogang.
"???" Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng looked at the person's face with confusion, "You are...?"
The person's steps were neither fast nor slow, and because the distance was short, they quickly approached.
Yu Tianheng's expression then turned to surprise, shock, and his eyes revealed a hint of excitement.
"Uncle? You, why are you here?"
"Let's talk alone." Yu Xiaogang stopped in front of Yu Tianheng, his expression calm, not looking at anyone else.
Yu Tianheng, excited, turned to everyone and said, "Dugu Yan, you all go back to the hotel first.
I'll be back later."
Yu Tianheng's uncle?
Everyone looked at Yu Xiaogang with puzzled expressions, then nodded slightly.
"Hmph..." Shi Quan snorted lightly.
Tang San was already injured, yet he still showed up and followed them.
It seemed he was preparing to ask what was going on.
