"Ma Hongjun, what are you muttering about again!"
Yu Xiaogang was somewhat annoyed; he hadn't forgotten the harm Ma Hongjun and his tiger phoenix intestine trio had caused him last time.
Now that Flender and Liu Erlong were here, what was there to panic about? To be safe, he had already decided to share a room with Flender.
Why not stay with Liu Erlong? Because he was afraid Liu Erlong might come to see him in the middle of the night and discover he didn't have a small gang.
Wouldn't he be completely disgraced then? What would be the point of becoming a famous Master on the continent? How could he have any face to stay here?
"It's nothing, Grandmaster is right."
Ma Hongjun naturally didn't dare to provoke Yu Xiaogang, who was now like a dog on a leash. After all, with a Master, he wasn't afraid of them anymore.
He finally lay down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense when the door was knocked, and then a refreshed Tang San appeared before everyone.
"Little San!"
Seeing the person who had arrived, Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed. His experiment… no, his beloved disciple Tang San had finally returned safe and sound.
"Teacher, Dean Flender, and everyone, I'm back."
At this moment, Tang San led the excited Yu Xiaogang aside, straightening his chest and regaining his usual confidence as a God King.
He was now a seventy-second-level Spirit Saint. Regardless of whether his Cultivation was superficial or not, the only thing that mattered was that he was a Spirit Saint.
When Tang San absorbed Life, he didn't purify or compress it at all; he just piled it on frantically, filling his spirit power to upgrade.
His current spirit power quality and internal spirit power reserves might not even be a third of Dugu Yan's, who was also a Spirit Saint.
"Third Brother, it's great that you're okay."
Feng Xiaotian was the first to react. Seeing his Master return, he immediately licked up to him excitedly.
Even Xiao Fei didn't react to his speed.
"Indeed, this time I can be considered to have turned misfortune into a blessing."
Tang San had become a Spirit Saint, and his words were full of confidence, no longer impatient. His voice was gentle, as if he were the God King in his previous life.
He gave off a feeling of being well-prepared.
"Turned misfortune into a blessing?"
The people around also gathered, curiously observing Tang San, but found nothing different. Finally, the One-Eyed Fire Chicken Ma Hongjun asked somewhat anxiously.
Looking at the curious eyes of his classmates around him, Tang San's face held a faint smile that he couldn't hide, and his aura was revealed.
For a moment, Liu Erlong and Flender, who were watching the show, also looked over in disbelief and exclaimed, "Little San, you've broken through to Spirit Saint!"
"That's right."
Tang San said with a light chuckle, looking at the incredulous gazes of those around him.
"That's great, Third Brother, we'll have a chance to win the championship then. What's the Heaven Dou Royal First Team? Isn't Dugu Yan just arrogant because she became a Spirit Saint?"
Feng Xiaotian cheered for Tang San from the side, somewhat angrily slandering Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Back then, their Shrek had been played like monkeys by that colorful-haired girl.
"Indeed, what our Shrek wants to achieve this time is the championship of the All-Continent Soul Master Competition!"
Tang San no longer felt the need to hide his ambition, speaking with great confidence.
After all, he didn't believe that a Spirit Douluo or a Titled Douluo would appear in this Soul Master Competition.
Unless someone started Cultivating from the womb, possessed a Cultivation Technique like Mysterious Heaven Skill, consumed Immortal Herbs, and started with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, how could they become a Titled Douluo before the age of twenty-five?
Upon learning that Tang San had broken through to Spirit Saint, Yu Xiaogang was also overjoyed. This was his student, Yu Xiaogang.
For a moment, the Shrek Academy's lounge was filled with laughter, as if victory was already in their grasp.
...
The last round of the afternoon's competition.
Canghui Academy vs. Shrek Academy
As both sides took the stage, Shrek Academy still looked proudly at the people from Canghui Academy.
The difference was that there were major changes in the Canghui Academy's team members this time, which also caught the attention of the Shrek Seven Devils.
However, Tang San and Dai Mubai naturally knew what Canghui Academy was going to do; it was just the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, and Tang San was not flustered at all now.
"It's time to give this Canghui Academy a profound lesson."
Being tormented by Shi Nian back then had made the Shrek Seven Devils very unhappy. Now that they met Canghui Academy again, they definitely had to vent their anger properly.
"Oh, oh, oh, isn't this the dog from Canghui Academy? Are you planning to surrender like a dog with its tail between its legs again this time?"
How could the One-Eyed Fire Chicken Ma Hongjun be absent at such a time? Although he looked down on Yu Xiaogang for being a bully, Ma Hongjun himself was quite good at it.
Seeing Tang San return, he immediately regained his confidence, looking at the few people from Canghui Academy and speaking in a flippant tone.
"Where are the girls from your Canghui Academy this time? Let them serve this Fatty comfortably, and I might go easy on you."
Although Ma Hongjun currently had nothing and could only brag, there was no other way, so he could only brag.
"You're asking for death!"
The captain of the Canghui team said angrily, then whispered to the people around him, "Later, we'll directly use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. First, target that Fatty. Winning or losing doesn't matter; Fatty must die."
Unexpectedly, these words were approved by the team members, who all nodded affirmatively.
"We're going to beat this disrespectful fat pig."
Soon, after a "friendly" exchange between the two sides, the referee began to announce:
"The match begins!"
As the sound fell, the people of the Canghui team directly used the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique.
That powerful might immediately attracted everyone's attention. Some people had already figured out what the Canghui team was going to do and immediately exclaimed, "Is that the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"
But then they shook their heads, disappointed, "What a pity, it's just the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, far from it."
Then, a seven-colored light enveloped the entire arena, covering the Shrek Seven Devils. Tang San still looked disdainful.
"This level of mental attack is just child's play to me."
After speaking, a purple light flashed in his eyes, instantly causing the Canghui team to faint due to the backlash. Seeing this, Tang San shouted, "Shrek Seven Devils, attack!"
Instantly, Spirit Abilities came one after another, catching the Canghui team, who had hoped to take out one person before retreating, off guard.
At this point, the Canghui team had lost their combat capability, and the referee hurriedly announced, "Stop, Shrek Academy!"
But the Shrek Seven Devils had already decided to teach Canghui Academy a good lesson, so they directly ignored the referee's announcement and continued to attack.
Afterward, they would simply say it was too noisy to hear.
Tang San even attacked instantly, binding the seven people with dark Blue Silver Grass, absorbing almost half of their Life before barely resisting the temptation, reluctantly withdrawing his hand.
"What trash, only this much Life."
Tang San snorted coldly. The Life provided by a group of Spirit Elders was still too little for him, a half-baked Spirit Saint.
As the Canghui students fell, the seven-colored light on the field gradually dispersed, revealing the situation on the arena.
The referee also announced the Shrek Seven Devils' victory, but looking at the unconscious students of Canghui Academy, he immediately called for someone to check their bodies.
The results of the examination were devastating: the physical condition of each Canghui student was very poor. Five students were mentally confused and became idiots; two students were already weak and had too much Life absorbed, dying on the spot, with their bodily functions declining, likely unable to live past forty years old.
Other external and internal injuries were normal and not statistically counted, but the other conditions could already be classified as severe injuries.
The teachers of Canghui Academy protested directly.
So the referee immediately shouted, "Shrek Academy is suspected of intentional killing and must undergo an investigation, otherwise their competition qualification will be revoked."
