In an instant, both combatants unleashed their offensive maneuvers—and both were wide-range, field-control attacks.
On one side of the Soul Fighting Arena, an endless tide of Blue Silver Grass surged forward, constantly pushing toward the opposite end. On the other side, a powerful corrosive mixture of three different toxins eroded the grass relentlessly.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass would often be corroded away before it could get anywhere near the thick of the poison mist. Even the vines further back, having inhaled the toxic fumes or been afflicted by the cold poison, became brittle and stunted in their growth.
To prevent the "Hallucinogenic Poison" Dugu Yan had mentioned from reaching him, Tang San had no choice but to command the Blue Silver Grass to actively absorb the toxins into themselves.
Watching the match turn into a stalemate of soul power consumption, Qin Ming, standing outside the arena, wore a helpless expression. This kind of battle was actually quite dull, though Tang San was doing remarkably well considering the attribute disadvantage.
Under normal circumstances, Tang San had dozens of ways to defeat Dugu Yan. However, since this was a match on a public arena, he decided to keep some things hidden. Otherwise, simply using some realgar wine or a Soul Tool fan might have secured a victory.
Interesting.
Tang San was much like Xiao Wu; back in Nuoding City, he rarely got the chance for a proper head-on confrontation with Xiao Lin. He couldn't break through Xiao Lin's defense, and his own attack power couldn't match up.
This was the first time he had encountered such a well-matched opponent.
While Tang San was confident he could use his powerful vitality and endless soul power to catalyze the Blue Silver Grass to eventually overwhelm Dugu Yan, he was not someone who disliked using tools.
In the next second, Tang San reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of Blue Silver Grass seeds, scattering them across the arena.
The moment these seeds encountered Tang San's soul power, they rapidly took form, their growth speed and strength far exceeding the height and toughness of the previous grass.
These seeds were the result of five years of meticulous selection, where Tang San had picked out the highest quality specimens over and over again. Tang San could say without exaggeration that many of these seeds had the potential to become ten-year soul beasts.
Now, catalyzed by Tang San's soul power and infused with immense vitality, these "potential soul beast" vines initiated a counterattack.
The lush Blue Silver Grass swarmed toward Dugu Yan, absorbing the corrosive mist as it advanced, steadily closing the distance. If Dugu Yan didn't reveal even greater power, she would soon be bound by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
No one present doubted this outcome.
No one believed that Blue Silver Grass standing taller than a human would fail to trap its target—the resilience of those vines looked terrifyingly exaggerated.
"Tch, is this all you've got?"
Since Dugu Yan couldn't see Tang San's specific movements through the overgrowth, she assumed he had already used his third soul skill.
In fact, everyone from the Emperor Team, including Qin Ming, thought the same.
They believed Tang San was using the grass as cover to silently activate his third skill; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Blue Silver Grass to break through the poison mist that was supposed to counter it.
However, when several white soul rings began to float up from the arena as some of the vines died, the onlookers realized something was wrong.
Could Tang San's third soul skill directly summon Blue Silver Grass soul beasts to attack?No wonder it's so exaggerated!
Only the Three Board of Education, who knew that Tang San's third soul skill came from a Soul-Gathering Pumpkin, shook their heads inwardly.
Tang San was being incredibly composed; he hadn't even used half of his strength yet.
Facing the Blue Silver Grass that was about to reach her, Dugu Yan's face darkened, and the jade-green scales on her forehead emitted an eerie green light.
This was her Soul Power Poison Sac.
Once she activated it, her toxins would instantly increase several times over in a short period. To keep the information regarding her fourth soul skill hidden, Dugu Yan had already brought out nearly 80% of her strength, save for that final trump card.
She refused to believe she could still lose under these conditions. As the soul power within the Poison Sac erupted, Dugu Yan's three-in-one poison mist underwent an instantaneous qualitative change.
The Blue Silver Grass that had managed to get close to her withered in a flash, unable to even penetrate within three meters of her body.
"Enough, I've had enough! Tang San, your Blue Silver King Martial Soul is indeed very strong, and you truly live up to being an All-Around Soul Master."
"I can see that if you didn't encounter a Soul Master who countered you, even Tianheng might not be able to deal with you unless he unleashed his strongest attack right from the start."
Dugu Yan frowned slightly, then swayed her serpent tail, slithering bit by bit toward the center of the Soul Fighting Arena. It seemed she intended to force Tang San into direct contact with her toxins to end the fight instantly.
"However, you chose the wrong opponent."
As soon as her voice fell, Dugu Yan's speed surged.
In an instant, she was no different from a high-speed swimming serpent. Her speed was so fast it rivaled the flight speed of some bird-type soul beasts—no less than Osler's second soul skill.
"There it is—Yanyan's speed."
Yu Tianheng felt a bit more at ease upon seeing Dugu Yan's velocity.
He believed the match on the arena was already over. This was all because Dugu Yan's fourth soul ring had not been taken from a venomous snake, but rather from a Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, renowned for its speed.
By simply absorbing the soul ring of that Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, her speed had been vastly enhanced, and the soul skill itself granted her the ability to fly at high speeds for a short duration.
Furthermore, it was the unique nutritional properties of the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's crest that had helped Dugu Yan refine her Poison Sac.
Speaking of this Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, Yu Tianheng was reminded of a story involving the Titled Douluo Senior Dugu Bo and the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent (not the one from the original timeline's age range).
Both parties had misunderstood that the other was trying to snatch the serpent and had engaged in a brief exchange. It was because of that clash that the Unrivaled Dragon Serpent were acknowledged by Senior Dugu Bo.
Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill possessed power not inferior to a Titled Douluo.
Shaking off the brief memory, Yu Tianheng immediately turned to his teammate, Ye Lingling.
"Ye Lingling, get ready to heal Tang San."
As Yu Tianheng spoke, Ye Lingling's expression turned serious, her pretty face beneath the black veil becoming solemn.
"Hehe, you guys are looking down on Third Brother way too much."
Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Xiao Wu chuckled and flashed a mysterious smile in rebuttal.
The very moment the words left Xiao Wu's mouth, the situation on the Soul Fighting Arena completely reversed. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief at a scene that shouldn't have been possible.
There was Tang San, clad in an armor made of Blue Silver Grass.
Dugu Yan's toxins couldn't seem to corrode his Blue Silver Armor at all. No, rather than saying it couldn't be corroded, it was more accurate to say that the Blue Silver Armor was regenerating too quickly.
This Blue Silver Armor was a combination of Tang San's first and second soul skills: the Blue Silver Regeneration Bracelet, plus the Gigantification and High-Speed Regeneration of his second soul skill.
This synergy formed a protective layer that even Dugu Yan's venom could not eat through. Furthermore, the sight that truly stunned the crowd was Tang San holding Dugu Yan by the neck with a single hand, lifting her up.
Looking at Tang San, he didn't seem the least bit concerned about being poisoned.
"Very impressive toxins. I almost succumbed; the regeneration speed of my Blue Silver Grass nearly couldn't keep up."
Tang San chuckled softly and quickly set Dugu Yan back down.
There was no doubt—Tang San was the victor of this match.
