Chapter 212 Is Tang 3 an evil soul master?
Chapter 212 Is Tang San an Evil Soul Master?
When the referee saw Dugu Bo suddenly appear on the Soul Battle Stage, his expression changed slightly, and he inwardly groaned.
The titled Douluo holds a prestigious position; how could a mere referee dare to offend him?
But it was his duty, so he steeled himself and stepped forward, bowing respectfully:
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, it's currently the competition period, and your sudden appearance on stage might be against the rules. Please don't put us in a difficult position..."
"Rules?" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and an invisible pressure instantly made the referee break out in a cold sweat. Then, he let out a cold snort, his voice echoing throughout the arena:
"I've come up here for the safety of all the upcoming matches! If we let these insidious tactics go unchecked, who knows how many promising young talents from different academies will suffer in the future!"
After saying that, he ignored the referee who was silent as a cicada in fear, squatted down, and pretended to check the physical condition of the captain of Canghui Academy and several team members next to him.
A moment later, Dugu Bo slowly stood up and looked toward the VIP seats.
"Gentlemen! My initial examination reveals that the seven students from Canghui Academy are in extremely dire condition! They have been almost completely drained of blood, their life force is severely depleted, and they are nearly exhausted!"
"The source of his soul power has been severely damaged, as if it had been forcibly plundered by something! This is definitely not an injury that could be caused by a normal soul skill confrontation!"
"Such methods are insidious and vicious, and contrary to the principles of morality. For the sake of the fairness of the competition and the safety of all participating students, I implore the competition organizing committee to immediately dispatch a Soul Master skilled in healing and investigation to the stage for a thorough examination! Give Canghui Academy and all participating students an explanation!"
These are Dugu Bo's words.
Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it instantly stirred up a storm in the entire venue!
"What?! All the blood has been drained? Life force exhausted?"
"What...what kind of eerie skill is this?"
"Could it have been done by Shrek Academy?"
"What exactly happened within that seven-colored light?"
Immediately, countless suspicious, fearful, and inquisitive gazes were cast upon Tang San, the only Shrek Academy member standing on the Soul Fighting Stage!
In the VIP section.
The expressions of Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, Salas, and the others also became extremely serious at this moment.
If what Dugu Bo said is true, then the nature of this matter has completely changed!
This is no longer a simple matter of winning or losing a match; it involves some kind of evil act that may be unacceptable to the Soul Master world!
Just as Dugu Bo finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
One of the instructors from Canghui Academy, his eyes blazing with fury, rushed onto the Soul Battle Arena.
He lunged at a student whose body was emaciated and whose breath was weak, picked him up with trembling hands, and suddenly looked up at the VIP seats, roaring:
"Referee! Tournament organizing committee! I have a complaint! Devouring the soul power and life force of Soul Masters is the act of fallen ones, evil Soul Masters! This is an act that cannot be tolerated by the entire Soul Master world!"
"This Tang San from Shrek Academy! He possesses the cultivation of a Soul Master at such a young age, and even has a fourth soul ring that's ten thousand years old! This is illogical in itself! I now have reason to suspect that his cultivation level was obtained by absorbing the cultivation and life force of others!"
"He's a fallen man, a heretic!"
These words caused an uproar in the room once again!
"Tang San is an evil spirit master?!"
"He cultivates by devouring the soul power and life force of others? This..."
"No wonder he cultivated so quickly!"
"That's terrifying! He actually used such tactics in the competition!"
In the VIP section.
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly. He stood up from his seat. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was highly respected and should have immediately expressed his support for a thorough investigation to uphold the fairness of the competition.
However, just as he was about to speak...
But then his mind flashed back to the cooperation agreement on hidden weapons with Tang San!
The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.
Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, had no such reservations. A glint flashed in his eyes, and in a flash, he appeared on the Soul Battle Stage.
Ignoring the stares of those around him, Salas walked straight to a Canghui student, then extended his withered fingers and gently placed them on the student's wrist to feel the pulse.
A wisp of pure soul power probed in, and Salas's face instantly turned ashen.
"What? It's really as Dugu Bo said?"
He frowned slightly, slowly withdrew his hand, turned to face Emperor Xueye in the VIP seats, and said in a formulaic, cold, and serious voice:
"Your Majesty, after my personal investigation, what Poison Douluo said is true!"
"The life essence of these seven students from Canghui Academy has been severely damaged, almost to the point of depletion! Their soul power foundation has also been severely injured! Such injuries could not have been caused by ordinary soul skills; they were indeed caused by some external force forcibly plundering and devouring them!"
He paused here, his tone carrying an undeniable air.
"In the future, at the very least, their foundation will be damaged, and their cultivation will be difficult to advance any further."
"In severe cases... there is a risk of premature death!"
Salas's personal confirmation, like a final judgment, completely thrust Shrek Academy and Tang San into the spotlight!
Instantly, the entire Great Soul Arena fell into a deathly silence, with everyone's eyes focused on Tang San, awaiting his explanation.
Or rather... we await the final decision of the competition organizing committee!
Faced with Salas's resounding accusations and the questioning gazes of the entire audience, Tang San's face perfectly captured a hint of grievance. He then stepped forward and retorted:
"Absurd! Utter nonsense!"
"Bishop Salas, and this mentor, you keep saying I'm an evil spirit master, that I cultivate by devouring the life force of others? Where's the evidence? Just based on their current appearance?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the half-dead Canghui Academy student on the ground.
"Everyone, please witness! Just now, the Seven Asura Illusionary Realms cast by Canghui Academy were incredibly dangerous. Our entire Shrek Academy was trapped within them, our five senses were stolen, and our soul power was in disarray. In order to protect ourselves and break the illusion, I had to use all my soul power, even overdrawing it, to barely defeat them!"
"My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul does indeed contain paralyzing toxins; this is no secret from previous matches! As for that ten-thousand-year-old fourth spirit ring?"
At this point, Tang San's face revealed a hint of arrogance as he forced an explanation:
"That was absorbed by me through countless near-death experiences under the protection of my elders, relying on my own will and talent to absorb abilities far beyond my level! This proves that I, Tang San, am exceptionally gifted and have an unwavering will! How can this be used as an excuse for you to slander me as an evil soul master? Is having good talent a sin?!"
"On the contrary, it's their Canghui Academy!" Tang San changed the subject, turning the tables on them.
"Using such a dangerous illusionary soul skill, capable of severely damaging someone's spirit, is tantamount to disregarding the opponent's safety; their intentions are despicable! Now that their soul skill has been broken, they have suffered a backlash and are severely injured. Isn't this their own fault for not being skilled enough?"
"Why are you trying to pin this responsibility on Shrek Academy?!"
He spoke quickly and urgently, seemingly with reason and evidence, but in reality, he completely avoided the core strange aspects such as the loss of life force and the drying up of blood. He attributed everything to the backlash of the illusion and the normal poison effect of his martial soul, and even turned the tables, accusing Canghui Academy of having malicious intentions.
Tang San's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, coupled with his deliberately guided logic, all contributed to this.
Surprisingly, this caused some viewers who were unaware of the facts to waver and become confused.
"That seems... to make sense?"
"The backlash from the illusion can indeed be very serious..."
"Could it be that Canghui Academy really messed things up on its own?"
After listening to Tang San's sophistry, Salas's face did not waver in the slightest. Instead, he revealed a cold, mocking smile.
He had already received a secret order from Wuhun City and knew that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, and was a target that the Wuhun Hall was determined to eliminate!
Now, we've finally found an opportunity to capture him and bring him back to the Spirit Hall.
Would he let Tang San off the hook just because of a few sophistry?
Please vote for me!
