When Dugu Yan saw the Shrek Seven Devils take the stage, she put away her contemptuous gaze. After all, she knew their tactics well: if they couldn't win, they'd resort to petty tricks. They were truly wicked, inherently evil Shrek brats.
Tang San's Shrek Seven Devils also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and dared not be careless. After their previous two experiences of being single-handedly defeated, they were already terrified of Heaven Dou Royal Team One. If Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors could defeat them alone, how much more outrageous would a Spirit Saint like Dugu Yan be?
"This time, we absolutely cannot lose."
Even with a plan for losing the match, Tang San gritted his teeth and said, his already battered pride wouldn't allow him to lose again.
So, he, Tang San, took the lead, followed by a three-by-three formation. Ma Hongjun, Feng Xiaotian, and Dai Mubai spread out behind Tang San, constantly ready to find an opportunity to strike Dugu Yan.
The only support, Oscar, was protected by Xiao Fei and Yu Tianheng, in the center of the last row, always ready to throw the Sausage he produced to others.
"Prepare for the match, both sides release your Spirits!"
Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee announced the start of the match.
A cold glint appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes. Two silver snake chain swords appeared in her hands, reflecting the sunlight with a chilling gleam.
On her originally fair skin, a layer of cool, gray-blue snake scales gradually emerged. Her formerly gray eyes elongated, like a snake hunting in the dark.
Standing on the arena, seven spirit rings intertwined, emitting an aura that sent shivers down the Shrek Seven Devils' spines.
It was as if they were facing a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast.
Tang San and the others shivered, then quickly steadied themselves, forcing down the fear in their hearts. But for some reason, Tiger Phoenix Intestine trembled uncontrollably. If he hadn't hidden behind Tang San, he wouldn't even have dared to release his Spirit.
"Quickly release your Spirit!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun, who usually talked back to him two at a time, being so cowardly, Tang San said angrily.
So, they're only strong at home, and turn into softies when facing outsiders, huh?
The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier he got, and he had already condemned Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar, the Tiger Phoenix Intestine trio, to death.
Woken by Tang San's shout, the Tiger Phoenix Intestine trio belatedly released their Spirits, still displaying their standard spirit rings.
However, their spirit power Rank seemed to deviate from the Rank listed in the data. It seemed to have been inflated; a drop of one or two Ranks would be more accurate.
"The match begins!"
With both sides having released their Spirits, the referee announced the start of the Spirit battle.
No sooner had the words fallen than the Shrek Seven Devils felt their limbs grow cold and their bodies tremble from the chill, before they even made a move.
"Cold Snake Domain!"
As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, the arena was covered in a thick layer of frost, and bone-chilling cold winds swept around.
In the stands, the surrounding spectators were also awakened by the cold wind, then erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
On the stage, Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Domain! It's actually a Domain!"
It's no wonder the surrounding Spirit Masters were surprised by something like a Domain. The commonly known method of acquiring it on the continent was usually only when a Spirit Master Broke through to Title Douluo, they would have a chance to comprehend it, and it also had very strict requirements for the Spirit.
If not, the chances of acquiring it through Acquired comprehension were minuscule. How old was this Dugu Yan to possess a Domain? It was simply unheard of.
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, only vaguely understood Domains. He only knew from ancient texts that Domains greatly enhanced strength, and he couldn't help but feel resentment.
Why didn't such an excellent person become his disciple? If she had, he would surely give her a better future.
"Domain, how is that possible!"
Tang San said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with jealousy that was almost overflowing. In this life, he didn't have the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, so he naturally couldn't Awaken the Blue Silver Domain.
The other Shrek Six Monsters also felt their hearts sink by half, filled with dread. Was this really something they could contend with?
"Don't just stand there, strike first!"
Tang San's hands and feet were icy cold, his whole body pale, but he still gave his Shrek teammates a dose of encouragement.
Dugu Yan also didn't want any accidents to occur. A gray-blue light flashed in her eyes, and the two silver chain swords in her hands moved like swimming Dragons.
In an instant, two gray-blue giant snakes that seemed to swallow the sky instantly condensed on the arena, blotting out the sun.
They opened their huge mouths and instantly swallowed the Shrek Seven Devils, who were about to retaliate.
"Ah ah ah ah ah."
Because they were purely elemental constructs, the ice snakes' bodies were entirely filled with accumulated ice elements, including many condensed ice cones.
The Shrek Seven Devils tumbled inside the snake's belly, their entire bodies pierced by sharp ice cones. And because the ice snake's belly was bone-chillingly cold,
Their wounds hadn't even begun to bleed before they were frostbitten, instantly frostbitten. All the wounds on their bodies turned into dark frostbite.
"No, I absolutely cannot lose!"
Tang San's face was distorted, his teeth bared, his eyes red, and he gasped like an ox, but he quickly lost consciousness from the cold.
Not long after, the ice snake exploded, revealing the Shrek Seven Devils, who had already fainted from the cold.
At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils had no good spot on their entire bodies. Their clothes were tattered, and the broken fabric revealed the blackened frostbite underneath.
Their entire bodies were pale, their bodies frozen stiff, and clear snow crystals had formed in their hair.
"Instant kill!"
The referee also shouted, then directly announced the match result: "Congratulations to Heaven Dou Royal Team One for their victory."
"Heaven Dou Royal Team One, Dugu Yan!"
"Heaven Dou Royal Team One, Dugu Yan!"
Cheers immediately erupted from all around, the spectators equally excited. Although the battle was quick and didn't fully satisfy them,
Dugu Yan's powerful strength, revealed only a corner of it, had already left them content. They were already looking forward to the final grand finals, wondering what kind of spectacle it would be.
"Little San!"
Ning Fengzhi on the stage and Yu Xiaogang below the stage were heartbroken to see the Shrek Seven Devils, and most importantly, Tang San, so severely injured.
It was as if their parents had died, they were deeply distressed.
However, in the VIP section, Tang Xiao, as the representative of the Clear Sky Sect, looked curious. His gaze fell upon the unconscious Tang San, and he always felt that this child bore some resemblance to him.
As if he thought of something, he immediately shook his head and muttered to himself, "How could that be? How could that beast Tang Hao, who betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors, raise my child?"
Qian Xunfeng, who was beside him, also saw through Tang Xiao's thoughts and couldn't help but pretend to ask curiously, "Sect Master Tang, are you worried about that boy named Tang San?"
Since Tang Xiao came as the former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, addressing him as Sect Master Tang was naturally fine. However, this address sounded a bit harsh to Tang Xiao's ears.
"No, no, no, I just feel that Tang San has a sense of déjà vu with me."
Seeing that the person asking was Qian Xunfeng, Tang Xiao waved his hand rather timidly, refusing to elaborate.
The current Tang Xiao had lost his former arrogance and basically feared Qian Xunfeng like a tiger, not daring to say another word.
"Haha, this is nothing major, Sect Master Tang. This Tang San's origin is quite extraordinary. I heard he has twin spirits, one is Blue Silver Grass, and the other is the Clear Sky Hammer."
Qian Xunfeng laughed heartily, then continued, "And his father is none other than Sect Master Tang's good brother, one of the former Haotian Double Stars, Tang Hao!"
