—------------------—
The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent waved its wings, and Tang San's figure instantly appeared behind Shi Quan; in his eyes, Shi Quan was now a fixed target.
"Soul Devouring Spider Web." Tang San flicked his hand, and a dark green orb of light flew towards Shi Quan.
Shi Quan didn't even turn around; his first spirit ring and second spirit ring lit up.
Blue Silver Growth, Hardening Ability combination skill, Blue Silver Hard Dragon Drill!
Under the rapid growth of the Blue Silver Emperor, it resembled several dragon snakes, surging towards the dark green orb of light.
The Soul Devouring Spider Web spread rapidly, and the Blue Silver Emperor's growth speed was also not slow.
It was at this moment that Xiao Wu's figure suddenly appeared below Shi Quan.
"Charm." Her peach-colored eyes looked directly into Shi Quan's eyes.
"How dare you?" Shi Quan smiled, a silver light flashing in his eyes, and Xiao Meng silently made her move in his mind.
The red light in Xiao Wu's eyes met the silver light in Shi Quan's eyes, and she immediately grunted, her movements pausing.
Golden light flashed, and the Holy Dragon Eight Spears instantly stabbed towards Xiao Wu.
Before the dragon spears could strike, Shi Quan felt them tighten, and dense, inky Blue Silver Grass grew from his back, completely bind his dragon spears.
Tang San's figure had also arrived in front at some unknown point, another dark green orb of light flew out, and at the same time, eight dark green spider lances simultaneously stabbed towards Shi Quan.
The attack of the Soul Devouring Spider Web was a decoy, Xiao Wu's Charm was a decoy, and the current attack was Tang San's true objective.
Shi Quan's expression remained calm, he raised his right hand in a loose grip, the Blue Silver Emperor had already appeared in his hand, and at the same time, the fourth spirit ring on Shi Quan's body finally lit up.
The moment the black spirit ring on Shi Quan's body lit up, everyone in the spectator stand stared intently at Shi Quan, wanting to see what his special ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability looked like.
Blue, gold, and black Qi flames surged and then intertwined; the Blue Silver Emperor in Shi Quan's hand seemed to melt, transforming into a sword shape. The moment Shi Quan raised his hand and gripped it, the three-colored intertwining Qi flames instantly receded, revealing a peculiar sword hilt. Shi Quan waved his hand, and a strange longsword, entirely wrapped in blue-gold Qi flames with black demonic patterns imprinted in the center, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Just the residual power of the sword's momentum caused Tang San's Soul Devouring Spider Web to tear and wither.
This was Shi Quan's fourth Spirit Ability, the Blue Silver Devouring Emperor Sword!
Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up. Shi Quan's external Spirit Bone was already difficult for him to accept. Looking at the longsword in Shi Quan's hand, he couldn't control his emotions and exclaimed in shock, "No, this is impossible. It's actually an extremely rare weapon-type Spirit Ability. How is this possible? And where did he get so much spirit power to release a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability?"
"It's actually a weapon-type Spirit Ability, no wonder he was being so secretive about it." Dugu Bo's lips curved into a smile.
"Mr. Dugu, is a weapon-type Spirit Ability very powerful? How is it different from an ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability?" Xue Xing was stunned for a moment, looking curiously at Dugu Bo. Although he was a Spirit Master, his talent was average, and he was keen on power, so he didn't know much about such special situations.
Dugu Bo smiled faintly and explained, "Ordinary offensive ten-thousand-year Martial Spirit Abilities, no matter how great their power or how strong their attack, are generally one-time consumables. After using them once, they must be cast again. But weapon-type ten-thousand-year Martial Spirit Abilities are different, especially weapon attack Martial Spirit Abilities like long spears or swords. While their attack is super strong, they can also be used as weapons. It's not an exaggeration to say that they equip someone with a Tool Spirit that comes with a Spirit Ability. It is said that there is also a type of weapon Spirit Bone, which has a similar effect, but this type of Spirit Bone is even rarer than an external Spirit Bone."
"A Tool Spirit with a Spirit Ability?" Xue Xing's eyes lit up. Even he, slow as he was, understood the power of this Spirit Ability.
In the sky, Tang San felt his hairs stand on end, and an unprecedented sense of crisis assailed him.
"Break." A calm voice sounded, and the peculiar longsword in Shi Quan's hand trembled violently. The longsword swung out at a strange angle.
A tiny, profound blue-gold ray of light, no bigger than a green bean, instantly shot out.
When the light appeared, the entire space seemed to freeze.
The second spirit ring beneath Tang San flared brightly. A large amount of Blue Silver Grass, radiating black light, suddenly grew in the space between him and Shi Quan. The spirit power within his body circulated almost to its extreme, and a powerful devouring force erupted.
Crack.
All the attacking Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances were split in two, and all the rampant Blue Silver Grass snapped, yet they still failed to block the blue-gold ray of light.
The ray of light plunged into the arena, immediately emitting a violent roar!
The sturdy arena was instantly split in two. Shi Quan's single strike left a deep trench, five meters deep, down the middle of the arena.
All the Blue Silver Grass was broken, all the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances were severed, and fresh red blood had already stained Tang San's clothes.
"Brother." Xiao Wu exclaimed and quickly caught the falling Tang San.
"Is that all? You're too weak." Shi Quan lightly landed on the ground, twirled his sword, and looked indifferently at Tang San and Xiao Wu. As for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, Shi Quan didn't bother with them; without their buffs, Tang San would have lost even faster.
If he hadn't deliberately altered the direction of that sword strike, only severing the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances behind Tang San and breaking his Blue Silver Grass...
Otherwise, that one sword strike just now would have instantly killed Tang San.
After all, with so many people present, if he had truly harbored killing intent, Tang Hao would have intervened before his sword even fell.
Upon hearing this, Tang San coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood, clutching his chest and looking coldly at Shi Quan.
"Do you surrender or continue?"
Shi Quan's voice was calm, without the slightest hint of mockery, but in Tang San's ears, it felt completely different.
The feeling was as if he was nothing in the other party's eyes, as if saying: "What are you? Do you even deserve to prance around in front of me? Surrender early and get lost."
This kind of contempt was an extreme provocation for Tang San.
He could not tolerate such provocation, nor did he want to lose to Shi Quan again.
Back then, when he and Shi Quan were both at Nuoding Academy, he possessed Innate full spirit power and the unique techniques of the Tang Sect. In contrast, Shi Quan had only level one Innate spirit power and was a commoner from the grassroots.
The two were clearly as different as heaven and earth, but now the other party had not only obtained a ten-thousand-year spirit ring but had also surpassed him in all aspects. He was unwilling.
If he had consumed the Immortal Herb two years earlier, like Shi Quan, his strength would definitely not be weaker than Shi Quan's, perhaps even stronger!
His Martial Spirit had just mutated and evolved, and it certainly wouldn't fare well against Shi Quan's already fully evolved Blue Silver King. As a Tool Spirit, he had another even more powerful Tool Spirit!
That Martial Spirit was hailed as the strongest power on the continent, with the most explosive force, and capable of suppressing most Tool Spirits.
Since the Blue Silver Grass couldn't win, he would switch to another, using absolute power to crush all obstacles.
Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes also calmed down. He said faintly, "Surrender? Shi Quan, you underestimate me too much, don't you?"
Dugu Bo, hearing this from below the stage, had disdain in his eyes and secretly thought, "If Shi Quan hadn't deliberately held back just now, your grave would be covered in meter-high grass next year."
"Xiao Wu, you and Fatty go down first." Tang San got up from Xiao Wu's embrace and nodded to her.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with red eyes, full of worry, but she was still very obedient. She quickly walked towards the unconscious Ma Hongjun and the other two, then swiftly descended the arena.
Oscar quickly landed and handed all the prepared Big Recovery Sausages to Tang San.
"Oh? You still have a trump card?" Shi Quan held his sword diagonally with one hand, his Holy Dragon Eight Spears retracted behind him, his expression indifferent, waiting calmly, "I'll wait for you."
"Is this kid helping me vent my anger?" Dugu Bo's lips curved slightly.
Fortunately, Shi Quan didn't know Dugu Bo's inner monologue, otherwise, he could only smile awkwardly. After all, he just wanted to severely strike Tang San and stimulate Tang San's desire for power.
"This Tang San is really shameless. Anyone with eyes can see that Shi Quan held back against him just now, yet he still has the nerve to stand on stage." Dugu Yan said directly from below the stage without any reservation.
"Exactly, I don't know what he's pretending about? Does he really think he can beat Shi Quan?" Yu Feng immediately echoed.
Neither of them deliberately lowered their voices. Everyone present was a Spirit Master, and almost everyone heard them.
The Shrek group's faces instantly flushed red. Only Yu Xiaogang's eyes were fixed on Shi Quan on the stage. In his perception, the consumption of a Spirit Fusion Skill was astonishing, not to mention the powerful area-of-effect Martial Spirit Abilities like Shi Quan's and Ye Lingling's, which consumed even more terrifying amounts.
The reason Shi Quan attacked so hastily must have been due to a shortage of spirit power, wanting to end the battle quickly. Although his fourth Spirit Ability was incredibly powerful, the fact that one strike missed showed that Shi Quan's spirit power should be in a state of depletion, which was also why Shi Quan didn't continue the pursuit after landing.
In summary, the current Shi Quan was merely putting on a show, all bark and no bite. Yu Xiaogang believed he had seen through Shi Quan's disguise, and then confidently declared, "Who wins or loses is still uncertain!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Dugu Yan retorted directly, "What are you, a level twenty-nine Trash, barking about? A Trash trains Trash disciples. Watch Shi Quan rub your Trash disciple firmly into the ground."
Yu Xiaogang's face immediately turned ashen upon hearing this. Remembering Dugu Yan's identity, he could only helplessly shut his mouth.
Ning Fengzhi also shook his head slightly at the sight. Strength determines one's vision; anyone with even a little strength could understand that Shi Quan held an absolute advantage on the stage. To put it plainly, he was simply playing with Tang San on the stage.
He also didn't know where Yu Xiaogang's blind confidence in Tang San came from.
Facing the discussions below the stage.
Tang San's eyes focused, unaffected by the crowd below. He slightly clenched his right hand, and the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit disappeared. He grasped with his left hand, and black light emerged, a heavy aura permeating the air. A small black hammer appeared in his hand.
"This is...twin spirits?!"
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the Clear Sky Hammer tightly held in Tang San's left hand...
