The tenacious blue figure that stood up was Tang San!
However...
He had just barely managed to stand halfway, his body still in an extremely unstable, swaying state, when a strong sense of dizziness made him lose his balance again.
His body went limp, and Tang San once again fell heavily forward.
"No, I cannot lose!"
After lying on the ground for several breaths, he finally recovered, looking up to see Tang Chuan's two feet standing before him.
It was then that Tang San realized how ugly his current predicament was.
He was sprawled on the ground, like a dog.
And his elder brother stood high above, looking down on him.
"Damn it!"
"Brother, you actually resorted to a sneak attack again!"
With a low growl, Tang San was incredibly furious, wanting to get up again.
However, the moment his words fell, Tang Chuan's foot already stepped over.
"Bang!"
Intense humiliation and pain made Tang San struggle violently; he tried desperately to get up with all his limbs, but found himself firmly suppressed by a terrifying Soul Power, completely unable to move.
Like a fish nailed to a cutting board.
"Tang Chuan, you bastard!"
"I see you have already found a way to die!"
With a roar of impotent rage, Tang San tried to get up again.
"Hmph."
A very light cold snort escaped his nostrils. Tang Chuan seemed to have heard something ridiculous. The foot on Tang San's head suddenly exerted force, stomping down hard!
"Bang!"
Tang San's head violently hit the Douhun Stage, his scalp instantly broken, bleeding profusely.
"Bastard!"
"I'll kill you!"
Gasping like an ox, Tang San desperately tried to stand up, but Tang Chuan, having stomped down hard this time, did not release his foot, immediately pressing his face firmly against the Douhun Stage.
At this moment, he was like a dying beast, completely in a state of frenzy, continuously cursing Tang Chuan with the most venomous language.
"Although my Martial Soul is temporarily Sealed and unusable, I still have my Soul Bones! The external Spirit Bone, Eight Spider Lances, does not entirely rely on Soul Power to activate! It has long become a part of my body!"
In desperation, Tang San had a flash of inspiration, suddenly thinking of the Eight Spider Lances.
"Go to hell!"
With a heart-wrenching roar, Tang San used all his willpower to activate the external Spirit Bone, Eight Spider Lances, which had long since Fused with his spine!
Pfft!
The next second, eight purple-glowing spider lances instantly tore through the clothes on his back, like poisonous claws from the abyss, fiercely stabbing at Tang Chuan, who was within reach, with lightning speed!
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
The sharp tips of the spider lances instantly pierced through Tang Chuan's abdomen and chest!
And like thirsty vampires, they immediately began to frantically devour, a pale golden energy visibly flowing rapidly along the spider lances towards Tang San, frantically extracting Tang Chuan's life force!
"Heh heh, Eight Spider Lances, huh?"
With a sneer, Tang Chuan looked down at the eight purple-black spider lances piercing his body, a hint of surprise and... an elusive playfulness appearing on his face?
...Not far away.
The audience in the stands, seeing Tang Chuan's body pierced by the eight ferocious spider lances, all let out exclamations of disbelief.
"No way? Tang Chuan, with that abnormal spirit ring configuration, was taken down like that?"
"Is that all it takes? Counter-killed in one move? Are his spirit rings just for show? Absolutely useless!"
"That Shrek kid has some tricks up his sleeve! He can actually turn the tables like this?"
"Indeed, you can't be too arrogant in team battles. Tianxing Academy paid the price for its arrogance!"
On the VIP platform.
Emperor Xue Ye also frowned tightly, leaning slightly forward, his gaze fixed on the stage, and asked in confusion, "What's going on? With his strength, he could easily dodge it, so why didn't he? Could it be... Shrek Academy can still make a comeback and turn defeat into victory?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, who sat beside him, although a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, his expression was relatively much calmer. He then gently shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, I think... it may not be that simple."
"Perhaps, an even more exciting show... is yet to come."
Dugu Bo, Xue Qinghe, and Xiao Rui'er, who were on the VIP seats and the arena respectively, all felt their hearts tighten suddenly when they saw the Eight Spider Lances instantly pierce through Tang Chuan's body!
"What? Why didn't that kid dodge?"
Given their understanding of Tang Chuan's strength...
He was fully capable of easily avoiding such an attack, or even stopping it beforehand!
But why... why didn't he dodge, allowing Tang San to succeed?
Especially Xiao Rui'er, who was on the arena, a hint of anxiety flashed in her golden eyes, her Soul Power fluctuations suddenly intensified, and she was about to rush forward with a shift of her feet.
However, just as she was about to act...
Tang Chuan, who was being pierced by the Eight Spider Lances, suddenly raised a hand and made a clear stopping gesture, preventing her from acting.
Immediately, Tang Chuan lowered his head, looking at Tang San, who was still firmly under his foot and frantically absorbing his life force through the Eight Spider Lances. Instead of pain, a cold and eerie smile appeared on his face, and he said:
"Little San, since you love to absorb so much..."
"Then today, I, your brother, will let you absorb your fill!"
Although Tang San was still firmly underfoot, with blood flowing incessantly from his forehead, feeling the continuous influx of immense life force into his body, a twisted sense of pleasure and triumphant mockery arose in his heart, and he said, "Brother, it's come to this, and you're still stubborn?"
"Today, I will reclaim everything that belongs to me! Your Soul Power! Your talent! And all the debts you owe me and father!"
"Heh heh, is that so?" Looking at the life force continuously flowing into Tang San's body, Tang Chuan felt somewhat amused. He didn't even bother with the Eight Spider Lances piercing his body, and casually raised his free right hand.
In an instant, over a dozen tendrils of blue-golden light from the Blue Silver Emperor suddenly surged from his palm.
They instantly wrapped and bound Tang San's body, along with the roots of the Eight Spider Lances on his back, so tightly that he was completely unable to break free.
"Come on,"
"Since you love to absorb so much, then today, I, your brother, will let you absorb your fill."
Tang Chuan's voice was low and filled with a chilling generosity.
"Don't, when I actually give it to you, you suddenly... don't want it anymore."
His body tightly bound by the sudden Blue Silver Grass, an ominous premonition immediately surged in Tang San's heart, and he struggled, roaring:
"You... what do you want to do?!"
As his words fell...
Immediately, a terrifying life force, completely beyond imagination, like a bursting dam, vast as a surging river, violently poured into Tang San's body through the Eight Spider Lances connecting the two, with an unprecedented ferocity!
"Ugh ah—!"
In the initial moments, the influx of extremely pure life energy indeed brought Tang San an indescribable sense of comfort, as if parched land had suddenly been nourished.
However, this comfort lasted for less than a breath!
Tang San's face instantly changed from pale to an abnormal flush, then became extremely twisted and ferocious! He felt as if his body was an airbag being frantically filled with water, every inch of his Meridians, every cell, being forcibly stretched and torn by this immense energy that he simply could not bear!
Pain! An indescribable, swelling agony instantly engulfed him!
"Stop... stop! Too much! Stop quickly!"
"Tang Chuan, you beast! No!"
Tang San let out a bloodcurdling scream; he wanted to forcibly cut off the connection between the Eight Spider Lances and Tang Chuan, but found that under the Binding of the Blue Silver Emperor, he could do absolutely nothing!
He could only watch helplessly as his body, like a container, was rapidly filled with the terrifying life force forcibly bestowed by Tang Chuan, until his body was on the verge of bursting!
"Don't you love to absorb?"
"Then today, I'll let you absorb your fill!"
