Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan's golden dragon eyes narrowed sharply. Her powerful senses allowed her to clearly see and smell the deadly poison carried on the crossbow bolts.
Although Dugu Yan no longer possesses the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, her family's profound knowledge of poisons has given her an extraordinary understanding of poison techniques.
The crossbow bolts are infused with extremely potent poison. Without an antidote, even a Soul Master's physique might not be able to withstand it for half a day.
The next moment, Dugu Yan's third soul ring lit up, and golden patterns even appeared on her black dragon scales. A pair of dragon wings with a wingspan of more than eight meters appeared behind her.
"Dragon Wings!"
The broad and powerful dragon wings fanned up a fierce wind on the battle arena.
The powerful boost to all attributes and the acceleration from the dragon wings allowed Dugu Yan to appear directly in front of the crossbow bolt's trajectory as if she had teleported.
The large dragon wings acted as a shield, protecting Ye Lingling and the Shi brothers behind them.
Hundreds of crossbow bolts, capable of piercing gold and splitting stone, clanged and clattered against the surface of the black-gold dragon wings, scattering sparks, but not a single one could penetrate them.
Seeing this, Tang San's eyes widened in fury. He turned to look at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who remained unmoved behind him, and fiercely questioned, "Why aren't you two following the plan?!"
Ning Rongrong simply snorted at Tang San and retorted, "Why should I follow your plan? Don't you know this is just a regular team spirit battle, not a death match!"
"So why did I use these hidden weapons to attack Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling? Zhu Qing, let's go."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and looked at the furious Tang San, saying calmly, "Rongrong is right. This is just a team battle. Losing to the other side only means that they are more skilled. I have nothing to say."
"And don't forget, the master said this is just to let us experience the feeling of the Soul Fighting Tournament. In the tournament, other means are not allowed."
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she and Ning Rongrong jumped off the Soul Battle Platform together, indicating that they were forfeiting.
Watching the two figures jump off the stage, Tang San could only remember this incident in his heart. He still had battles to fight, and he had not yet lost!
Tang San turned his gaze back to Dugu Yan, who was still on the defensive. His hands turned into white jade as he moved, and then he touched the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist.
"My hidden weapons can curve!"
It was as if he had grown several more arms, carrying countless attacks as he flew towards Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling behind him.
Moreover, this attack involved far more than just crossbow bolts; flying stones, copper coin darts, willow leaf knives, and energy-piercing needles, among countless other hidden weapons rained down like raindrops.
Feeling the tremors from the dragon wings, Dugu Yan's anger surged within her, and her golden eyes seemed to be burning.
Since the other party was so despicable, resorting to strange methods outside of martial spirits, then she no longer needed to abide by any so-called constraints.
The attacks coming from the dragon wings were all extremely powerful, and she was the only one in the entire Heavenly Fighting Team who could withstand them without getting hurt.
Not to mention that the targets of these attacks were Ye Lingling, a support-type Soul Master, who was behind her.
If even one of her attacks had slipped through, Ye Lingling's fate would have been unimaginable.
If any unforeseen consequences were to occur, she would have no way to explain it to herself, let alone to Mu Ci.
Therefore, upon thinking of this, Dugu Yan's fifth spirit ring, which was pitch black, instantly lit up.
"Ancient Dragon Transformation of the Abyss!"
The terrifying amplification once again boosted Dugu Yan's momentum. Her dragon wings suddenly spread open, and the surging black soul power, like a wave, blasted away all attacks.
Qin Ming, who was watching from below the stage, changed his expression drastically upon seeing this and shouted, "Dugu Yan, stop!"
But clearly, Qin Ming's weak shouts were not enough to stop the enraged Dugu Yan.
After deflecting all the incoming projectiles, Dugu Yan's fourth spirit ring lit up.
Chapter 141 Tang San is seriously injured, Qin Ming questions him.
After Dugu Yan's fourth soul ring lit up, countless dark soul energies began to gather frantically behind her.
"The Ancient Dragon's Roar from the Abyss!"
As the fourth soul skill was completed, a huge black dragon head appeared behind Dugu Yan. The dragon head slightly raised, and then...
"Roar!"
The violent black sound waves, mixed with intense mental energy fluctuations, swept in a fan shape towards the three people still on the Soul Fighting Stage.
The ground that the dragon's roar swept across began to crack inch by inch, and countless marble fragments were swept away by the sound waves.
In just a moment, Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu, who were holding the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, fainted. Their bodies were riddled with bloody holes from countless pebbles, some so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was oozing from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
"Xiao Wu!" Tang San caught a glimpse of Xiao Wu's current state out of the corner of his eye. Her already bloodshot eyes were now wide open, with bloody tears even dripping down.
But Tang San had no time to spare at the moment; his Purple Demon Eyes had already spotted Dugu Yan's rapidly approaching figure.
The time was too short, and Dugu Yan's speed was too fast, so Tang San couldn't make any other moves.
The clothes on his back ripped apart instantly, and eight hideous spider legs stretched out, blocking his chest.
When Dugu Yan, who had spread her dragon wings and flew over at top speed, saw this scene, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but at the same time, a hint of ruthlessness also flashed.
The surging black fist energy vaguely formed a black dragon head in front of Dugu Yan's dragon claw, and with incomparably terrifying force, it directly slammed into the Eight Spider Lances in front of Tang San.
"I'll let you block me!"
"Referee, we admit defeat!"
As Dugu Yan's fist struck, Yu Xiaogang and Flander, who were sitting on the sidelines preparing for the match, were frantically shouting that they were giving up.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Dugu Yan's terrifying Black Dragon Fist directly shattered the Eight Spider Spears that Tang San was using to defend his chest. The force, which was difficult to fully absorb, continued along the shaft of the Eight Spider Spears all the way to its base.
At this point, all eight spider spears were shattered by Dugu Yan's punch.
Then, with the force of her punch still lingering, Dugu Yan landed a powerful blow on Tang San's chest.
With the sound of bones breaking, Tang San's chest caved in, and he flew out of the Soul Arena, spitting out blood.
With this, Team Tiandou has won!
Upon seeing this scene, Mu Ci's expression softened slightly, but her gaze towards Tang San remained icy as she turned and left the audience.
-
"Dugu Yan, what did I tell you? Didn't I tell you to hold back? Why did you still use your fourth and fifth soul skills!"
Qin Ming's angry voice rang out in the rest area, his eyes bloodshot as he questioned Dugu Yan.
Hearing this question, Dugu Yan laughed in anger, looking at Qin Ming who was full of rage, and said: "Qin Ming, now you're asking me questions? Didn't you see what those Shrek students used?"
At this point, Dugu Yan sneered: "I only agreed to spar with this rural team whose highest-ranking members are no more than Soul Masters because of you, saying it was to experience the atmosphere of the Soul Battle Tournament. But I want to ask, does the Soul Battle Tournament allow the use of weapons other than those of Soul Masters?"
Qin Ming, who was furious, was momentarily speechless, but still stubbornly said, "But you are a Soul King, what's wrong with letting them have their way? It's not a big deal if you lose once."
After he said that, not only were Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling furious, but even Oslo Yufeng and the others looked at Qin Ming with cold expressions.
Ye Lingling said coldly, "Instructor Qin Ming, I find your attitude very problematic right now. Do you still have any semblance of being an instructor at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were an instructor from the Shrek Academy team."
Just as Qin Ming was about to retort, footsteps came from outside the corridor of the Tian Dou rest area.
Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang arrived here with the still-intact Shrek Academy students, their faces filled with anger.
"Dugu Yan, as a Soul King, you actually used such ruthlessness in the Soul Battle sparring. Have you ever thought about abiding by the rules of the Soul Battle Arena? I advise you to take your men and heal our seriously injured students right now, otherwise..."
Yu Xiaogang glared angrily at Dugu Yan and said furiously.
Dugu Yan looked at the angry faces of the Shrek Academy teachers and sneered, "Otherwise? Otherwise what? Do you dare to force us?"
Flander's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the resolute Dugu Yan.
He didn't really want to offend Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Dugu Bo, who was behind Dugu Yan, was someone that their small Shrek Academy couldn't afford to offend, not to mention that there was an even more terrifying Medicine King Sect behind them.
But now they have no choice but to do this. Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai are only seriously injured, with two broken arms and two broken ribs. They will be fine after a rest.
However, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Tang San are in more serious condition.
Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu suffered similar injuries, both from Dugu Yan's fourth soul skill, sonic attack and mental attack, as well as the penetrating wounds from the flying shards. Their spirit, seven orifices, five internal organs, and flesh and bones were all damaged to varying degrees.
However, because Xiao Wu is a Soul Master, her injuries are better than Ma Hongjun's, who is still a Great Soul Master, but they are still quite serious.
Tang San's condition was even worse than theirs, because due to the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Purple Demon Eye, his mental and internal injuries were much less severe than theirs.
However, Dugu Yan's punch shattered all eight spider spears of the external soul bone, and the remaining force of the punch also fractured a large number of ribs in her chest.
“I wouldn’t dare threaten you, but I still hope that Miss Dugu Yan can take Miss Ye Lingling to help my student with treatment. That way, we can all pretend that today’s events never happened.” Flander said, squinting at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan sneered when she heard Flander's words.
If we pretend nothing happened, and she did nothing, then what about Tang San's actions as the culprit? Doesn't that mean he's still a threat, both overtly and covertly?
As soon as Flander finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire lounge instantly became tense.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could wait, but Tang San and the other two lying in the Shrek Academy team's rest area couldn't. The healing soul masters provided by the Great Soul Arena could at most ensure that their injuries wouldn't worsen.
Whether the three can fully recover depends on whether Ye Lingling is willing to take action.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji, who had been suppressing his anger for a long time, spoke up. He looked at Dugu Yan with his bear-like eyes and said, "Little girl, I advise you to treat yourself obediently, otherwise I will have to take action. Others may be afraid of Dugu Bo and the Medicine King Sect, but I am not afraid."
As someone who managed to fight his way out of the Spirit Hall's encirclement, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as incredibly audacious.
He certainly wouldn't dare say that in front of a Title Douluo, but Dugu Bo was thousands of miles away.
As he spoke, spirit rings rose from Zhao Wuji's body, and the pressure of a Soul Saint swept through the entire rest room.
"Old Zhao!" Flander frowned and scolded him, but did not stop him.
"What, you want to make a move?" Dugu Yan watched Zhao Wuji's actions and also released her soul ring.
Ye Lingling did the same, stepping forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Dugu Yan, her aura as a peak Soul Master also revealing itself.
However, in such a tense atmosphere, none of the Shrek members, including Qin Ming, noticed that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's hands were already clasped together.
"Oh, I do want to see if you dare to make a move!"
Chapter 142 Mu Ci Arrives
"Oh, I do want to see if you dare to make a move!"
A male voice, clearly tinged with anger, drifted leisurely into the lounge, echoing through the enclosed space.
The sound elicited various reactions from the Shrek members.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes wide in astonishment, clearly not expecting him to appear so suddenly.
Qin Ming's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
