In short, everyone seeing Tang San's spirit and spirit rings for the first time had strange expressions on their faces.
Some couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This guy was just too ridiculous—it left people speechless.
"Hahaha…" The students from Thunderclap Academy couldn't help but clutch their stomachs in laughter at the sight.
"Match start!" Even the referee couldn't take it anymore and directly announced.
"Looking to die!"Tang San was furious at the mockery. His gaze turned cold, and he suddenly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to flash forward. The Blue Silver Chicken flew into the air, and—"Whoosh whoosh…"—feathers shot out, elongating into a web that flew toward the lightning-wielding youth.
"Whoosh…" The lightning youth was instantly entangled in the web.
He had been too careless.
He assumed Tang San's fourth spirit ring was weak, and that his spirit looked laughable, so he concluded this guy's abilities must be trash.
But he was wrong.
Even with all his strength, he couldn't break free from the Blue Silver Net.
He was utterly speechless.
"Bang bang…" Naturally, Tang San rushed in and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the youth.
"Ah ah…" Screams echoed, "Bang…" and finally a fierce kick landed squarely on the youth's face.
"Ah…" The youth's face twisted as he flew backward.
He looked utterly humiliated.
He never imagined he'd lose so fast.
The ones who had laughed at Tang San were now all stunned. No one expected this absurd guy to actually have such strength.
It was completely unexpected.
Soon, the next opponent stepped out—Lei Tian, who stared coldly at Tang San. For him, this match was crucial—he absolutely could not lose.
And he had to conserve energy while defeating his opponent, to prepare for the final showdown.
The Thunderclap Academy coach also instructed Lei Tian to end it quickly.
He flew into the air. Lei Tian spread his arms, and the fourth spirit ring lit up after the third, with two purple rings resonating around him.
One could clearly feel the lightning element in the air going wild, frantically condensing.
Bolts of electricity coiled around Lei Tian, forming a blue-purple sphere centered on him. His eyes turned electric blue.
The intense pressure made even Tang San feel a hint of fear.
Lei Tian, airborne, formed a massive Thunder Hawk from the electric sphere, growing to five meters in length. It silently fused with a massive energy wave and lunged straight at Tang San.
Tang San hadn't expected such a violent assault.
"Whoosh…" He instantly activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, dodging to the side while conjuring another Blue Silver Chicken Net in front of him.
"Boom…" The thunder explosion was blocked by the feather-net instantly.
"Whoosh…" Once the Thunder Hawk vanished, Tang San flashed to Lei Tian's back.
His hands suddenly transformed into Mysterious Jade Hands.
"Ding! Dialogue modification task triggered."
[Tang San's hands transformed into Mysterious Jade Hands. Using "Crane Catching Technique," he launched a fierce strike toward Lei Tian's back.] – Four characters can be modified.
Zhang Fan instantly changed the character for "back" (背) to "butt" (屁股).
"Ding! Scene modification successful. Minor plot distortion. Reward: 40 Modification Points."
Tang San fiercely struck at Lei Tian's butt.
"Ahhh…"Lei Tian screamed in agony, flying far away from the impact.
He had absolutely no idea this disgusting freak would attack him from there.
The pain was overwhelming.
"Bang…" He crashed into the ground, clearly in severe pain.
"Uhh…"Tang San froze for a few seconds. He had clearly aimed at Lei Tian's back—how did it end up being there?
He stood stunned, completely caught off guard.
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
Earlier, Ma Hongjun had bitten someone's family jewels, and now this.
Tang San just attacked someone's rear "vital point."
People were left utterly speechless.
These two were ridiculous!
"You two really know how to cause a scene!"Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun, then at Tang San on the stage.
These two were full of surprises.
"Haha… That was genuinely hilarious. I did not see that coming!"Zhang Fan shrugged and nuzzled against Xiao Wu's fragrant shoulder.
Xiao Wu smiled sweetly.
"That was really something!"Ning Rongrong watched with great interest.
The Thunderclap Academy members were furious—they hadn't expected this to happen.
"Despicable! Disgusting freak!" They all looked livid.
"Those two new guys from Shrek are just nasty! How can they fight so shamelessly—and so deviously!"
Even the Thunderclap Academy teacher's expression darkened to the extreme.
"Next!" The referee, unable to take it any longer, called for the next contestant.
The next fighter was Lei Dong, vice-captain of Thunderclap Academy, a level 43 control-type Battle Soul Master. Martial Spirit: Thunder Spider.
He was the strongest control-type soul master in the academy, just slightly weaker than the captain, but incredibly powerful.
Martial Spirit Possession!
A cracking sound rang out from Lei Dong's body. Eight bolts of lightning surged from his back like spider legs. Two yellow and two purple spirit rings lit up, showing his immense strength.
Seeing his power, Tang San couldn't help but frown. As the referee announced the match start—
Lei Dong stabbed his eight lightning legs into the ground, releasing waves of circular blue lightning from his palms toward Tang San.
The blue lightning spread outward in a web-like pattern. Tang San waved his hand—Blue Silver Chicken feathers shot out, lifting him up and launching him toward Lei Dong.
"Whoosh…"Lei Dong hadn't expected this guy to dodge his lightning web like that.
"This Tang San is actually pretty clever!"Dai Mubai shrugged.
"Yeah, but third bro's power still falls short!"Ma Hongjun shrugged too. "His fourth spirit ring is only ten years old, after all."
"Mm!"Oscar nodded. Lei Dong launched a blue thread from his palm. His spirit rings gleamed as two threads shot at Tang San from opposite directions.
"Chicken Net Whirl!"Tang San shouted, sending two nets toward the incoming lightning whips.
"Whoosh…" He suddenly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to flash toward Lei Dong.
But then, from the sky, a Thunder Net descended upon Tang San.
He hadn't expected Lei Dong to hide an additional thunder trap above him.
That caught him completely off guard.
"Looks like this guy's finished!" someone sneered.
"Yeah, all he knows is cheap sneak attacks—and on that part too. Gross!"
"The opponent is really strong. If Tang San had a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, maybe he could win. But with just a ten-year ring? He's bound to lose!"
"Mm!" Even Dai Mubai and the others didn't think Tang San would make it.
Tang San's face turned grim. But he didn't plan to just sit and wait for defeat.
