Chapter 88: No Chance of Victory

Chapter 88: No Chance of Victory

Flender clearly remembered how the last time such flames appeared, one of his most prized students had been burned to a crisp!

Now, faced with those flames again, there was no way he could remain seated calmly.

Who knew what would happen if Oscar encountered this fire!

As Flender spoke up, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing came to a halt.

The referee stepped in, temporarily halting the match.

Seeing that the Bluesilver Prison had been burned to a crisp, they sought Tang San's consent before destroying it and allowing Zhu Zhuqing to step out.

As for Oscar, he had expended a large amount of his soul power due to the Parasitic effect of Tang San's Bluesilver Grass, and his fall had left him weak and unable to stand.

He was escorted off the field, and before leaving, Oscar handed over all the sausages he had made to Tang San.

Three Recovery Sausages and two Agile Viper Sausages—there was no poison, so his Detoxifying Sausages were of no use here.

With Oscar's departure, the battle resumed.

The brief pause allowed the remaining participants to regain some of their soul power.

At the referee's signal, Dai Mubai unleashed a White Tiger Regale Wave, blasting a path back in the direction they had come from.

Oscar's elimination was something Tang San and Dai Mubai had anticipated, and they had even considered the possibility of being unable to break free from A'Ruan's control, which was their worst-case scenario.

However, they had a simple plan: to take out their opponents one by one.

Now that Zhu Zhuqing was at the back of their formation, all they needed to do was for Tang San and Dai Mubai to flank her and take her down.

Without the team's only attacker, controller, and supporter, what waves could they make?

The plan sounded good, but reality was harsh.

Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step focused on agility, so he needed to create favorable terrain—like a field covered in Bluesilver Grass.

While this slowed Zhu Zhuqing down a bit, her occasional Yin Yang Blast and Yin Yang Clone still gave Tang San a headache.

As Zhu Zhuqing was about to leave the area covered by Tang San's Bluesilver Grass, he reluctantly resorted to an extreme measure.

His goal was the championship and the hundred-year-old Divine Herb. For that, he had to be absolutely sure!

Tang San had prepared for this, and before the match, he had made a deal with Ning Rongrong...

Standing behind A'Ruan, Ning Rongrong felt an itch in her palm. She helplessly rolled her eyes.

Squeezing the Bluesilver Grass seedling in her palm to death, Ning Rongrong retracted the amplification effect of her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower and sat weakly on the ground.

"Oh, I'm done. I'm really exhausted. I've consumed too much soul power. Let me rest for a bit."

In less than a minute from the start of the match, Ning Rongrong gave up on amplifying A'Ruan's power.

A'Ruan didn't even turn her head, refusing to pay attention to Ning Rongrong.

Who was she? She was once the Bluesilver Emperor, and how could a tiny Bluesilver Grass seedling escape her notice?

She just didn't feel like acknowledging it!

With the amplification from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower gone, Zhu Zhuqing's speed visibly slowed.

A'Ruan informed Zhu Zhuqing about Ning Rongrong's condition and then took action.

Her second soul ring lit up, and the Bluesilver Emperor she controlled became slightly thicker, with scales resembling dragon scales running along it.

In this state, A'Ruan controlled only two Bluesilver Emperors.

If A'Ruan could still control ten Bluesilver Emperors at this level of enhancement, it would be unbelievable and give away their secret.

In addition to the two enhanced ones, one of the Bluesilver Emperors under A'Ruan's control remained unenhanced.

This unenhanced Bluesilver Emperor appeared in A'Ruan's hand, with ice and fire energies flowing along its branch.

The two enhanced Bluesilver Emperors whipped viciously at Dai Mubai's back.

Crack! The thickened Bluesilver King lashed out with its whip, directly striking Dai Mubai, who was bracing for the attack, and leaving him dizzy.

If it weren't for his White Tiger Regale Wave protecting him, that blow might have torn his flesh and blood to shreds.

A'Ruan's timing in her attacks was impeccable. Without hesitation, she lashed out again, this time at the fallen Dai Mubai, not giving him any chance to recover.

This blow landed squarely on Dai Mubai's body as he lay on the ground, unable to dodge or deflect it. The force of the impact shattered his White Tiger Regale Wave.

The moment the Regale Wave shattered, it created a slowing effect, disrupting the rhythm of the Bluesilver King. However, the previous Bluesilver King whip followed through with its attack.

Dai Mubai, who had been dazed by the initial blow, suddenly felt a stinging pain on his back, which snapped him out of his stupor.

In an instant, he was consumed by rage.

What frustrated this powerful assault-type Soul Master the most was being controlled by a control-type Soul Master and not being able to use his strength effectively.

"Third soul skill, White Tiger Adamantine Transformation!"

With the activation of his third soul skill, Dai Mubai leaped into the air and charged towards A'Ruan.

"I won't fight you, but do you really think I have no way to deal with you?!"

As he rushed towards A'Ruan, he faced the thick and heavy Bluesilver King lashing at him. Without hesitation, Dai Mubai reached out and grabbed it.

However, he only managed to grasp the middle portion of the Bluesilver King, and the tip of the whip lashed across his face without restraint.

In battles, one refrains from striking the face, and having been struck on the face by the whip, Dai Mubai's anger only intensified.

Without another word, he yanked the Bluesilver King with all his might, breaking it, and then charged towards A'Ruan.

The blow that landed on Dai Mubai's face was not intentional on A'Ruan's part; she could control the movement of the Bluesilver King.

However, the lashing relied more on the Bluesilver King's own inertia, which she couldn't control.

Although it wasn't her intention, it still succeeded in infuriating Dai Mubai, causing him to lose his rationality and charge at her recklessly.

A'Ruan placed a Bluesilver King under Dai Mubai's foot, causing him to trip as he stepped on it. She didn't snap it taut immediately because Soul Masters exert a significant amount of force when lifting their feet.

Dai Mubai sensed that his foot had caught on something, but as he didn't feel any force being transmitted, he lowered his guard.

As he lowered his right foot and prepared to step forward with his left, A'Ruan snapped the Bluesilver King taut. In that moment, Dai Mubai's left foot was in a position where he couldn't exert any force.

Crack! Dai Mubai fell flat on his face, the ferocity of his momentum completely dissipated.

However, if one were to observe closely, they would notice that Dai Mubai's hands were clenched tightly.

Not giving Dai Mubai any opportunity to gather his anger, A'Ruan plucked a leaf and threw it in his direction without hesitation.

Boom! The leaf landed on Dai Mubai's back and instantly exploded.

Ice poison and fire poison seeped into his body and wreaked havoc, causing him unbearable pain and making him scream in agony.

For someone with the Extreme Ice or Extreme Fire within their body, this amount of ice and fire poison would be negligible.

But for Dai Mubai, an ordinary Soul Master who had never come into contact with these two poisons, they were incredibly painful and had no antidote!

Dai Mubai rolled on the ground, screaming in agony, and Tang San wasn't faring any better. Seeing his delicate hands being devoured by thin, black flames, Tang San's expression twisted in pain.

Hearing Dai Mubai's screams, Tang San turned his head.

With Ning Rongrong's amplification ending, it was now a normal two-on-two battle.

Assault-type against control-type, the odds were against them!

Control-type against agility-type, the odds were still not in their favor!

Was this truly how it was going to end?

But Tang San desperately needed those three herbs, and he was willing to do anything to get them! Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked towards...
