In order to defeat Tang San, Xie Yue finally used his most powerful attack.
In terms of spirit power, there wasn’t much difference between Xie Yue and Hu Liena, and Yan, and everyone had their expert spirit abilities. The reason he was able to become the leader of the Golden Generation, was because of this created ability. And fully using this ability while in the spirit fusion ability, was his single most powerful attack. Relying on this move, he had with his own hands defeated his sixty eighth rank teacher, thereby earning his place as the number one of Spirit Hall’s young generation.
Full Moon sounded like such a beautiful name, and at this moment, appearing in front of Tang San, was a faultless created spirit ability.
The circle was the most consummate form, without any gaps. With just a glance, Tang San knew that this tracelessly target seeking formidable attack wasn’t something he could resist with Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer.
Xie Yue didn’t exaggerate. This Full Moon ability of his really exceeded the Stormwind Demon Wolf Thirty Six Successive Chops by far, and in attack speed, the difference between the two was far, far too much.
What seemed like a white disk was actually formed by Xie Yue driving his two Moon Blades to rotate at astonishing speed.
Tang San knew that with using this ability at full strength after fighting with spirit fusion ability, even if Xie Yue won, he and Hu Liena would have barely any spirit power remaining.
Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)
At this moment, he truly felt somewhat defeated. Because he clearly sensed that this ability before him wasn’t something he could resist on his own.
Blue Silver Grass, Binding ability launched, immediately followed by a third spirit ability Spiderweb Restraint. Tang San wouldn’t wait helplessly for death, he would use every method he could think of to defeat the opponent before him.
As the Blue Silver Grass touched that white disk, it quietly shattered. Spiderweb Restraint’s green ball of light covered it, and was instantly scattered and smashed. Two abilities unexpectedly couldn’t make the opponent’s speed forward drop in the slightest.
Tang San understood that even if he used his fourth spirit ability Blue Silver Grass to arrange a defense ten deep, it would still be cut apart by that rapidly rotating Full Moon.
Tang San’s eyes brightened, and he began to move. To be precise, he also began to rotate. The Eight Spider Lances on his back extended perfectly straight, and the rotating Tang San immediately turned into a whirlwind.
Tang San rotated in the opposite direction the opponent did. Right now, his entire spirit power was condensed on his Eight Spider Lances. He knew that this was his last and only chance. Arriving at this moment, no techniques had any use.
The only thing effective was a head-on collision between both sides. Swallowing the stimulating pink sausage, Tang San would give it his all.
Hong——
Tang San’s ad hoc rotating whirlpool met the Full Moon. A spur of the moment countermeasure colliding with the opponent’s created ability, the result could be imagined. Even more, the opponent’s spirit power was still far higher than his.
The first Eight Spider Lance was thrown against the Moon Blades, causing the first explosion.
The Full Moon slowed for a moment, and Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s fused form could briefly be seen within. But Tang San spouted a mouthful of blood, and that Eight Spider Lance was smashed to pieces as a result.
The violent pain made all of Tang San’s rotating body convulse. But he knew that he couldn’t stop now. Drawing on the stimulation from that pain, he on the contrary spun even faster.
A second explosion resounded once again, the two colliding practically as soon as they separated, and the same scene appeared once again. Another Eight Spider Lance was smashed.
In fact, as an external spirit bone, Eight Spider Lances had long since become a part of Tang San’s body, just like his own bones. Having two of them shatter in succession, how enormous must the pain he had to endure be?
Even more desperate collisions still followed, a third, fourth, fifth, all the way until the shattering of the sixth Eight Spider Lance, when Xie Yue’s created ability Full Moon became a bit slower.
Next was the seventh. Tang San spurted a seventh mouthful of blood. His body was completely enveloped in a layer of ping radiance, his spirit power reaching its peak from the stimulating pink sausage.
With the final Eight Spider Lance remaining, Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s fused body could no longer be completely concealed within the moonlight, due to the speed of Full Moon dropping.
With a practically heroic effort, Tang San swung his last Eight Spider Lance.
This time was no longer an explosion, but rather an ear-piercing grinding noise. Tang San watched his eighth Eight Spider Lance constantly being cut piece by piece as it collided with the opponent.
He was only too clear on the solidity of the Eight Spider Lances. Eight Eight Spider Lances being shattered, Tang San’s back was already dyed red with blood flowing from the skin being torn open at the base of the Eight Spider Lances. Right now his complexion was already pale.
However, Tang San’s resistance still hadn’t ended. He didn’t have a ninth spider leg, however, he had something else.
Clear Sky Hammer. It finally appeared in this final rotation. Shooting out under the impetus of Tang San’s whirlwind-like rotation, it heavily pounded against the opponent’s Full Moon.
An ear-piercing grinding rumble as well as countless sparks erupted from the heart of the collision between the two sides.
Clear Sky Hammer flew into the air, and Tang San was also finally unable to persevere with the severe spinning. Flung out with a putong sound, he fell heavily on the ground.
But that rotating Full Moon was also stopped by that final strike.
Xie Yue’s had a shocked expression. When using Full Moon, he had wanted to kill Tang San in one hit. But the degree of solidity of the Eight Spider Lances had far exceeded his expectations. Tang San would admittedly lose an Eight Spider Lance with each collision, but his spirit power would equally be substantially consumed. With that final collision with the Clear Sky Hammer, his Full Moon had finally been unable to be used further.
And he and Hu Liena’s spirit power was also finally unable to support the continuation of that spirit fusion ability.
The Charm Demon disappeared. The red fog dissipated. The gazes of practically all the spectators focused on Tang San and Xie Yue appearing in the middle of the red fog.
On the Shrek Seven Devils’ side, everyone’s hearts fell. But for the Spirit Hall people, their faces all revealed smiles.
Fallen to the ground, dyed red with blood, Tang San twitched weakly. Despite him struggling to crawl up, right now everyone saw that, being two, Xie Yue and Hu Liena held an absolute advantage.
On Xie Yue’s Moon Blades were several dozen densely packed little nicks, and Hu Liena’s face was pale. But at least they were still standing.
Right now, in the battle on the other side, the two sides were about equally matched. Yan had already used his fifth spirit ability, and Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai and also finally used the spirit fusion ability, Hell White Tiger. Judging by the overall situation, the Shrek Academy side even held a slight advantage.
Even though Yan was powerful, he was alone against two, and was completely suppressed by the Hell White Tiger. And on the other side, even though Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun had consumed a great deal of spirit power at the start, they were backed by the supprot of two auxiliary system Spirit Masters.
Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda constantly alternated the light it shot out, boosting them comprehensively. Three Aperture Governing Heart’s ease and freedom like moving an arm or a hand, was extremely pure, always providing the most correct support for Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu just when they needed it the most.
And Oscar’s array of sausages constantly flew from his hands to theirs to provide replenishment and supply. Consequently, even though the r
emaining two opponents had spirit power over the forty fifth rank, they were still being vividly beaten. The ones holding the advantage were on the contrary their two opponents, forcing them to always having to guard against Xiao Wu once again using that Invincible Golden Body.
The disappearance of the spirit fusion ability Charm Demon had undoubtedly broken the balance between the two sides. Even though Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s consumption seemed enormous, as long as they attacked Tang San one more time, they could throw themselves into the battlefield.
When the Charm Demon faded, the Spirit Hall Academy team’s support Spirit Master immediately shot out two rays of light, separately falling on Xie Yue and Hu Liena, helping the two recover. The scales of victory had already begun to shift.
Xie Yue looked somewhat regretfully at Tang San. He of course saw the situation in the ring clearly,
“You’re very powerful. I heard you’re still only fifteen this year. It’s truly difficult to imagine your genius. In talent, I’m not your equal.”
Being able to have the Golden Generation’s number one say something like this, was undoubtedly a recognition of Tang San.
But at this moment, Xie Yue also raised the Moon Blade in his hand.
He knew that even though Tang San was enormously exhausted, it still wasn’t to the degree of the mission Spirit Hall had given him. Soon Tang San already managed to crawl from the floor with some difficulty.
On Tang San’s back, the Eight Spider Lances’ enormous fractures seemed extremely frightening, especially his green uniform was already dyed red with blood, making it even more shocking that he still stood like that.
The only thing that hadn’t changed from the start of the competition, was Tang San’s eyes. The gaze in his eyes was still stubborn and calm. Gazing at Xie Yue, Tang San straightened his back. No matter when, his spine could never bend.
“Don’t think you’ve won.”
Tang San’s right hand slowly rose. Right now, his spirit power was largely consumed, to the extent that he could only maintain Mysterious Jade Hand on one hand. And that raised right hand was filled with chips of the shattered Eight Spider Lances.
Hearing Tang San speak, Xie Yue couldn’t help looking distracted a moment. Right now the situation was completely under their control, Yan and the others had started to use force to suppress the other Shrek Seven Devils from coming to Tang San’s aid.
Even the recovery sausages Oscar threw over were stopped by Hu Liena. The only support Tang San had was a stream of spirit power amplification from Ning Rongrong.
“Don’t tell me you still have some means to reverse the situation?”
Perhaps it was because the situation was already settled, but Xie Yue still spoke right now.
Tang San smiled calmly,
“You’ve used your created ability, I still haven’t. I’ve already experienced your true strength, but what my true strength is, do you know?”
“Created spirit ability? In your present condition, can you still use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method? Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is miraculous, it still can’t create a miracle for someone whose spirit power is exhausted and spirit bones smashed.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll let you see what my true strength is.”
Tang San’s action was only a movement of his right hand. Arm swinging, his underarm trembling with a bizarre rhythm, five fingers spreading open in a split second, his fingers seeming to disappear and turn into mirages. And those Eight Spider Lance splinters in his hand shot out in all directions.
Tang San previously held altogether sixteen fragments, for the most part barbs and some sharp splinters from the Eight Spider Lances that he had collected when he crawled up from the ground before.
Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
Sixteen fragments flew out simultaneously, but not one flew towards Xie Yue and Hu Liena, at least not as far as they saw.
Xie Yue smiled,
“This is your so called created spirit ability?”
Tang San also smiled, but he didn’t have anything to say. Rather, he fell heavily to the ground with a gudong sound, already unconscious. Despite this, the smiling expression on his face didn’t change in the slightest.
Tang San’s smile at Xie Yue, was at the first person who had the guts to mock Tang Sect’s tenth ranked hidden weapons technique, Batwing Rebound.
Batwing Rebound, tenth ranked of Tang Sect’s hidden weapons techniques. Usable with any hidden weapons, capable of shooting at most thirty six hidden weapons simultaneously. With Tang San’s present strength and control, he could at most use only eighteen, and the sixteen he launched right now was already the limit before he fell unconscious.
Sixteen fragments, each one flying in a straight line, completely scattering in an arc.
The instant Tang San fell to the ground, Xie Yue’s complexion changed. He simultaneously sensed two strong winds arriving from either side of him.
Without the slightest hesitation, simultaneously raising both Moon Blades, he knocked away the two fragments.
With two light dingding sounds, the two fragments simultaneously flew away. Equally startled as him was Hu Liena, who was assaulted by especially many fragments, as many as four. However, she was after all a Spirit King. Even though her spirit power was also close to exhausted, with the aid of their side’s support Spirit Master, she was still barely able to use her fingernails to flick away the four fragments.
At the same time as they loosed a breath, the two of them practically simultaneously felt a tingling. With incredulous gazes, they touched the splinters embedded in their shoulders.
They hadn’t seen that at the same time as they knocked away the six chips attacking them, they had unexpectedly simultaneously flown towards the other person, and moreover once again in arcs. However without the sound of cutting the air due to their slight size and not being too powerful.
If the Batwing Rebound technique was that easily broken, it wouldn’t be fit to become Tang Sect’s tenth ranked technique. Even though Tang San didn’t have much spirit power left when he launched it, he had already attained the result he wanted.
The chips that hit Xie Yue and Hu Liena’s shoulders weren’t few. Xie Yue had the four that previously attacked Hu Liena, and Hu Liena had two. None of the six fragments had failed to hit.
The power of these chips really wasn’t much, only managing to cut open their clothes and a layer of skin as they hit.
If it had been Xie Yue and Hu Liena in their peak condition, they could both have blocked Tang San’s Batwing Rebound technique by releasing spirit power with their full strength, but at the moment they basically weren’t able to. And all of this was planned out by the already unconscious Tang San.
Cutting open the skin was already sufficient. Don’t forget that the Eight Spider Lances contained terrifying toxin that would give even the Poison Douluo a headache.
In just a moment, Xie Yue and Hu Liena discovered that their shoulders had already gone numb. As they became alarmed, even cutting off their arms to prevent the poison was already too late, because the numbness had already spread to their chests.
Without the slightest hesitation, the siblings swiftly sat cross-legged on the ground, doing their utmost to urge their little remaining spirit power to resist the spread of the poison. This was all they could do.
Putong, putong, putong, putong. Four falling sounds rose practically simultaneously. Apart from Yan, the other four Spirit Hall Academy team members sat on the ground practically at the same time as Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the weakest among them, the support Spirit Master, had even directly fallen unconscious.
Tang San had thrown out sixteen splinters with the Batwing Rebound technique. Besides the six used for Xie Yue and his sister, the other ten all flew at the other five.
The instant he threw the fragments, to pursue accuracy, Tang San’s mind had worked hurriedly with the judgement of Purple Demon Eye to even estimate the movements of the five targets within the
next several seconds. It was also because of overexerting his mind in a state of weakness that he fell unconscious.
Those other ten fragments were extremely similar, not only did they fly in arcs, but moreover still flew close together. Even though some were promptly blocked by reacting opponents, the chips flew out once again after being blocked, finding other targets.
Besides the vigilant and most powerful Yan releasing his full spirit power, successively blocking the Eight Spider Lances fragments, the other four were completely infected.
In anyone’s impression, the battle situation had changed dramatically. The ones previously holding an absolute advantage suddenly lost six people, leaving only Yan.
The scales of victory shifted once again, and moreover this time they leaned so heavily.
Xiao Wu and Oscar ran directly towards Tang San. There was no longer any need for them in this battle. Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was unleashed, boosting the Hell White Tiger. Ma Hongjun used all his remaining spirit power, attacking from the flank with his full strength using Phoenix Firewire under the effect of Phoenix Ascension and Bathing Fire Phoenix.
It had to be said that Yan’s strength really was formidable. Under such unfavorable conditions, he still stubbornly endured. Even though his resistance grew weaker and weaker, and each attack from the Hell White Tiger would leave him with several wounds, he still persisted.
No matter how staunch Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong’s willpower was, even she couldn’t keep her expression from changing when confronted with the situation before her.
Tang San hadn’t violated the rules of the tournament, what he had thrown were the splinters of his own Eight Spider Lances, a part of his own body. It really wasn’t a weapon. Who could have anticipated that victory or defeat would actually be settled with a light toss like that?
A voice suddenly echoed by the Supreme Pontiff’s ear,
“Your Revered Holiness Supreme Pontiff, I must warn you.”
