How could such an unlikely thing happen twice?
And both times, Tang San was the one who caused it. This was too much of a coincidence!
The Shrek Group looked completely disgusted. The expressions on the three girls' faces, in particular, showed exactly what they were thinking. Even Huo Feng, who usually stayed calm, couldn't stand it anymore.
What kind of mess was this?
Last time, he didn't care as much because Tang San was the only one on the battle stage. No matter how shocking or disgusting it was, it only affected the two people in the Spirit Arena. Although the rest of them felt uncomfortable, they were still far away.
This time was different. Tang San was on stage with them. He hadn't just disgusted his own teammates; he had brought deep embarrassment to the entire Shrek Team.
The Royal Fight Team, who had been serious just a moment before, stared in stunned silence. Then, they burst into loud laughter.
They didn't know about Tang San's... previous incident. This made the current scene even more shocking to them.
Losing control of his bowels on the battle stage? He had to be the first person in history to do such a thing!
And such a disorganized group was supposed to be their opponent? The Royal Fight Team's confidence instantly soared.
In the luxurious private rooms surrounding the stage, the VIPs didn't even try to hide their smiles.
"I'd only heard rumors of things like this. I never expected to see it actually happen. It really opened my eyes."
"You don't know? It was this 'Shrek Eight' last time, too!"
"Hahahahahahaha!"
Laughter echoed from all around. This team battle in the Spirit Arena was truly wonderful. The battle wasn't just intense and high-quality; the entertainment value was also surprisingly high.
Now, some people finally understood why the "Shrek Eight" was so popular back in the Soto Spirit Arena. It was all thanks to this one member's talent for creating a spectacle. Without Tang San, the Shrek Team probably wouldn't have this much fame, no matter how good their battle record was.
"Yu Xiaogang, I'm starting to suspect you did this on purpose," Flender said from below the stage. He was scowling deeply as he questioned the Grandmaster.
Teacher Qin of the Royal Fight Team, standing nearby, just looked confused. After all these years, did Shrek Academy really accept students like that?
"Flender, I, Yu Xiaogang, am a man of principles!" Yu Xiaogang snapped back, flicking his sleeves.
His expression was truly terrible. He never expected Tang San to pull the same stunt here in the Central Spirit Arena. Last time, there was a reason for it. But what about this time? What was the excuse now?
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was furious. He was completely unaware that Tang San was lying almost dead on the battle stage. The Grandmaster was only thinking about how he was going to question Tang San after the fight ended.
"Hmph!" Flender just snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. He turned his head and focused back on the battle in the Spirit Arena.
Although Tang San's actions were outrageous, they didn't have a major impact on the battle itself.
On the stage, the person in the most relaxed position was actually Dai Mubai, who was facing the Royal Fight Team's strongest member.
As he engaged Yu Tianheng again, Dai Mubai immediately realized his opponent hadn't fully recovered. The strange white flower petals had healed Yu Tianheng's physical injuries, but the spirit power he had already used up hadn't returned.
Yu Tianheng had consumed a massive amount of spirit power while facing the Shrek Team's earlier siege—far more than Dai Mubai had. Physical wounds could be healed, but lost spirit power couldn't be recovered so quickly.
Right now, Yu Tianheng was only using his lightning abilities to fight Dai Mubai. His spirit power was now lower than Dai Mubai's, who was being boosted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Because of this, Yu Tianheng calmly chose to fight defensively. He did his best to use the paralyzing effect of his lightning, avoiding a direct power clash with Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai wanted to press his advantage and win, but he couldn't find an opening.
As a control system Spirit Master, Dugu Yan and her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Spirit had amazing crowd control abilities thanks to her poison. If Huo Feng hadn't stepped in at the last second to stop her third Spirit Ability, the Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison, the Shrek Team might have already lost.
But Zhu Zhuqing's situation was not looking good.
Her opponent's spirit power was seven or eight ranks higher than hers. The boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda helped close that gap, but it couldn't make up for the difference of an entire spirit ring.
Having one more spirit ring wasn't just about having one more Spirit Ability. The boost to all of a person's attributes from absorbing that ring was massive. It was a gap that simple spirit power support couldn't cover. It was just like when Tang San reached Rank 30 and became a Spirit Elder; his strength and control improved in every way.
The Black Panther Spirit Master, Oslo, was naturally faster than Zhu Zhuqing. The Black Panther Spirit was one of the best among agility-attack type Spirits. Even with Ning Rongrong's speed boost, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't completely match his speed.
She could only keep dodging and trading quick blows with him. But Oslo's attacks were getting more and more fierce. As Zhu Zhuqing's spirit power drained, she was slowly starting to lose.
"Zhuqing, get over here!" Huo Feng suddenly shouted.
Zhu Zhuqing understood immediately. Her body flickered, and she managed to retreat to Huo Feng's side.
Xiao Wu was already standing there. After taking out the Phoenix Spirit Bird Spirit Master, Xiao Wu didn't need to protect the two support Spirit Masters, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, anymore. So, she moved next to Huo Feng, waiting to see if he needed her help.
Just then, four huge turtle shell shields came flying through the air. The spinning shells shot toward Huo Feng from four different directions.
"Xiao Wu," Huo Feng said, making a casual gesture.
Xiao Wu knew exactly what he meant. She leaped into the air, landing just above and in front of him. Huo Feng pushed hard against the soles of her feet, launching her forward like a cannonball.
If Huo Feng had dealt with those two opponents himself, it wouldn't have taken long. But that wouldn't give the rest of the Shrek Team any real training.
Besides, after fighting in several team battles, Huo Feng knew he needed to keep a lower profile. He couldn't have another situation like that first battle, where he practically fought one-against-six. That was too flashy.
This was the Central Spirit Arena, after all. The private rooms were full of powerful nobles. There might even be people from Spirit Hall watching. This was not the place to stand out too much.
Showing just enough power was the right move. That's why Huo Feng chose to let Xiao Wu handle it.
"Zhuqing!"
He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing. After all their days of team battles, a single glance was all she needed to understand him. Zhu Zhuqing nodded, getting ready to charge out.
But just then, a truly disgusting smell suddenly filled the air.
It spread quickly across the entire battle stage.
Everyone's eyes once again snapped back to Tang San, who was still lying motionless on the ground.
