Tang San even intentionally made his hand shake as he hurriedly retracted the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
But what was done was done; he couldn't hide anything.
"How could Third Brother kill someone too?"
Ma Hongjun's face turned pale. He thought about his own attitude earlier, only for Tang San to do the same.
The entire venue erupted in boos, with accusations and cheers ringing out simultaneously.
"Third Brother definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Oscar appeared very firm.
Dai Mubai remained sensitive: "Little San, could it be that you've also been influenced by the atmosphere here?"
Tang San didn't respond to anyone. He wiped the dirt from his face with his sleeve and walked straight toward Feng Xiaotian, who lay in a pool of blood.
For a moment, he felt that if he could see a Demon Mark, he might be able to prove he hadn't done it intentionally.
Since the Spirit Hall representative team used that excuse, he figured he could too.
Then, the screen considerately showed Feng Xiaotian's image, but there was nothing around him.
"I did it myself. I killed him of my own accord."
Tang San was a bit dazed, but his mind was still in good shape; he just wasn't used to his first act of killing.
"Sometimes confidence is a good thing, but don't overstate things."
Chu Feng teased him specifically, and then the Shrek Seven blocked his path, all looking exceptionally frustrated.
"What, you want to fight?"
Qian Renxue was eager to protect her husband; she didn't mind showing her strength again.
"Wait, let's keep watching the match. We still have to prepare for the next two," Chu Feng said calmly.
Then Ning Rongrong called the Shrek group back. Her young miss temper was occasionally useful, being so self-centered.
They needed to discuss what to do next. Continuing the competition was certain, but as for the methods... the audience was also somewhat at a loss, not knowing if their criticism was right or if the rules had actually changed.
The Man in Black Robe appeared at his exclusive viewing seat at that moment, looking quite excited.
The screen displayed the next round's opponents: Dai Weisi against Huo Wushuang, the captain of Blazing Academy.
Both were Level 97 Titled Douluos; it was estimated their strength had improved significantly during this preparation period.
Since the Star Luo Empire possessed vast territories and resources, as a prince, the Spiritual Tools and equipment Dai Weisi carried were bound to be quite luxurious.
"I'm not like some cowards. The current rules are made for a strong person like me."
Dai Weisi tossed his flowing golden hair; he seemed to have made up his mind.
Since there had been deaths in the first two matches, he decided to aim for that result as well.
Huo Wushuang had always had a strong personality, so he naturally said straightforwardly, "You're Star Luo royalty. If I kill you, it's better if you don't bring me trouble."
"Hmph, let's see what you're made of."
Dai Weisi wasn't one to back down verbally either. He directly used his spirit power to summon a Star-Exterminating Spear, a Black-grade Spiritual Tool with eighty thousand Spirit energy.
By wielding this, he could double his own output while consuming the same amount of spirit power.
Furthermore, every three thrusts of this spear would spark a burst of lightning, which, combined with his Evil Eyes White Tiger Spirit, was incredibly powerful.
Huo Wushuang was not to be outdone. The fire he summoned actually burned a dark red, and then he condensed fireballs in both hands.
He smashed them densely toward Dai Weisi. Bang, bang, bang—a large wave of fire ignited.
With a contemptuous smirk, Dai Weisi seemed to mimic a tiger descending a mountain. He leaped into the air and threw the spear, and a massive image of a white tiger emerged with it.
"Fire, rise!"
Huo Wushuang was full of resilience, using the flames to build a wall of fire for himself.
The spear hovered before his eyes, unable to advance further. As he exerted more force, the spear began to lose its momentum.
Dai Weisi absolutely could not accept this. His hands transformed into White Tiger Claws, swinging out waves of light.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion roared.
The entire arena shook as if from an earthquake. The two were evenly matched, pushing off each other to create distance, though their spirit power was nearly exhausted.
"You should stop now. The result of the match is clearly Huo Wushuang's victory."
Tang San barged into the arena, still wanting to play the good guy and advise them against killing each other.
But Dai Weisi wasn't stupid. If he conceded, where would the Star Luo Empire's dignity be? And he indeed had been slightly inferior to Huo Wushuang just now; he had to keep fighting to turn the tables.
"It's not over until the end. It's not certain who will emerge victorious."
Dai Weisi stood up to continue, but Tang San blocked him directly.
"Is Shrek so fond of meddling? Do I have to kill you too?"
Dai Weisi's smile turned wicked, and at that moment, the crowd suddenly went into an uproar.
"Third Brother, watch out for the sea of fire!"
In the distance, Oscar also suddenly started shouting.
Only then did Tang San turn his head, and he was immediately shocked.
The Man in Black Robe had appeared on the field at some point. He grabbed Huo Wushuang by the throat, ruthlessly killed him, and then threw him heavily to the ground.
All the spirit power within Huo Wushuang's body poured out, and the entire arena ignited into a raging fire.
"Trash, just as useless as the previous two. A complete waste of my power."
The Man in Black Robe's tone was extremely irritable, showing his deep dissatisfaction.
"Finally exposed yourself. But you're being too obvious; you lack patience."
Chu Feng stepped forward decisively to question him, wanting to see exactly what kind of monster had been causing such a stir lately.
"Spirit Hall, do you know him?" Tang San was still confused.
"Hmph, as if the likes of you are worthy of speaking to me? I am a god."
The Man in Black Robe didn't forget to boast, but he didn't reveal his specific identity. Instead, he fanned out a great deal of Black Baleful Qi from within his robes.
The order of the arena collapsed at that moment. Anyone infected by this baleful Qi was overcome by an extreme murderous intent.
People started attacking whoever was near. With so many different Spirits causing chaos at once, the entire Suotuo City was likely in grave danger.
"Douluo are indeed all useless. Not a single one is satisfactory."
The Man in Black Robe wanted to leave, and black smoke began to rise from him.
But with Chu Feng there, leaving wouldn't be so easy. A single breath of Primordial Chaos Aura was enough to bind him.
"Who are you? You dare to desecrate a god?"
The Man in Black Robe was forced to manifest again on the spot, appearing somewhat fearful.
"Answer me first, or else you won't even have a chance to speak when you reach hell."
Chu Feng's aura was chilling. He hadn't had a formal battle in a while, and this was a good chance to get some practice.
"You're seeking death!"
The Man in Black Robe's strength was indeed formidable. With a casual movement, he displayed spirit power exceeding level 100.
Moreover, his Spirit and most of his spirit rings seemed to have reached the 500,000-year limit, making him truly extraordinary.
The mutual slaughter throughout the arena seemed to provide him with an increase in mental force.
Then he made his move, a bloody red wind coming with his rage.
Tang San's footing immediately became unstable, and he could only retreat stumbling.
But Chu Feng was as steady as Mount Tai. His Taoist abilities had evolved and improved for several days, and he was already able to touch the threshold of an Immortal.
