A sharp "smack" echoed in the arena.
A member of the Divine Wind team paused, looking at his hand in disbelief.
"Captain, vice-captain!"
"I..."
"I hit his face!"
The team member said excitedly, finding it hard to believe that he had actually slapped Tang San in the face!
Despite facing the attacks of five people, Tang San had always been at ease, occasionally launching his own attacks, making them miserable.
But, as the saying goes, often walking by the river, how can one not get their shoes wet?
Tang San let his guard down for a moment, and his left cheek was slapped!
He had been very careful, but two fists cannot compete against four hands!
Let alone ten hands!
Just as he finished his shout, the enraged Tang San kicked out, sending the person flying backwards for dozens of meters!
"Ugh~"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, but the Divine Wind team member didn't care at all, still staring at his hand!
"I... I hit him!"
"And it was on the face!"
Hearing this, Tang San's face darkened. If it weren't for the handprint on his face, it would be hard to see that his face was actually quite pale.
Anger surged within him. If it weren't for the rules prohibiting killing, he would have sent this person to meet the King of Hell!
To dare leave a handprint on his handsome face was more than just courting death; this guy deserved to live a life worse than death!
After thinking about the rules, Tang San tried his best to control his emotions, planning to find a time to...
"Smack..."
While he was distracted, Tang San got slapped again.
"???"
"Hahaha, I hit him too!"
Tang San turned his head in confusion. He had intended to act deep and fierce, but never expected that what awaited him was another slap!
"Smack!"
"I hit him too!"
Tang San: "..."
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!
These people humiliating him like this, he would make sure they died without a proper burial!
Yes, in Tang San's understanding, he was a gentleman, a modest gentleman.
Though he was a bit hypocritical, his appearance did look somewhat convincing.
The audience was stunned. What was up with this "Tang Yin"?
He got distracted in the middle of the fight, and then tried to act cool?
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a slap!
Goodness, what exactly was going on in his mind?
"..."
The crowd fell silent, then after a moment, cheers erupted throughout the arena!
Especially with Focalors' commentary, they couldn't stop laughing.
"Tang Yin received a slap, looking a bit confused, his eyes filled with bewilderment..."
"He instinctively wanted to see who delivered the slap, slowly turning his head to look at the other party..."
"What greeted him was another slap in return!"
"Hahaha, dying of laughter!"
"So vivid, no wonder it's Lady Focalors!"
"Tang Yin's confused look was perfectly described!"
In the arena, Tang San let out a long howl to the sky, preparing for a counterattack.
What greeted him was still a slap...
"???"
Though Tang San was strong, after several slaps, the anger nearly consumed him!
He activated his Mysterious Jade Hand, and slapped back.
"Smack..."
"Smack..."
As Tang San slapped this person, the Divine Wind team member didn't just stand there; he also slapped Tang San back.
"Smack..."
Tang San returned the slap...
"???"
A proper soul battle turned into a slap contest!
Commentator Focalors, holding the microphone, slightly trembled, her mouth slightly open, wanting to speak but stopping.
How was she supposed to comment on this?
She, she really had no idea!
What to do?
The audience and contestants looked at each other, and the cheers died down.
Soul masters' duel turned into a brawl?
As time passed, about five minutes later, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks were swollen high and terribly, but he didn't fall.
He stood firm in the center of the arena, looking around as if saying: Who else!
All the Divine Wind team members had fallen; only he was still standing!
This slap contest, uh... what slap contest!
This match, Tang San won!
At this moment, everyone looked at Tang San differently.
This guy, he, he actually slapped five people and won the slap contest!
With his face swollen like a pig's head, standing firm, it was truly shocking and terrifying.
At the same time, Tang San also earned everyone's respect. Even with his face swollen like that and several teeth missing, he showed no expression, not making a sound!
"In the first match of the fifth round, Blue Sunshine Academy versus Divine Wind Academy, Blue Sunshine Academy wins!"
Neuvillette announced the result of the match. He also admired Tang San; no wonder he was the "Heavenly Child." Even though he stumbled at first, he still found a way to win in the end.
There was one thing Neuvillette was very curious about: how Tang San would manage to defeat the "enhanced versions" of Hu Liena and others, as well as Dugu Yan.
The "enhanced versions" of Hu Liena and others had significantly improved in strength, and without the support of his original teammates, how would Tang San win?
Dugu Yan, to say the least, was practically "cheating." With the strength of a Level 58 Soul King, she could easily challenge a Soul Sage.
Facing Dugu Yan was like confronting a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse for Tang San!
Under such circumstances, how would he withstand?
"Let's wait and see."
Neuvillette didn't particularly care who would win, as long as the competition rules were followed.
He was simply curious to see how the Heavenly Child would manage a comeback.
Tang San was one of his "big clients"; one person could equal dozens of others.
Any arena Tang San participated in could provide Neuvillette with a vast amount of energy.
After the Blue Sunshine and Divine Wind team members left the stage, the competition continued.
The next two matches were not surprising; both Spirit Hall Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy won.
Purple Star Academy and the unnamed academy had almost no resistance and were directly carried away.
The semifinals concluded perfectly.
The top three were Blue Sunshine Academy, Spirit Hall Academy, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Everyone would gather three days later at the entrance of the Pope's Palace for the final battle!
After the Soul Arena emptied, Ma Hongjun found Flander.
"What?"
"Hongjun, you're saying that Tang Yin from Blue Sunshine is Tang San?"
Flander was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
Tang San had been hunted by the Spirit Hall, yet he still dared to come to Spirit City and compete?
"Yes, Teacher."
"I know Tang San's soul skills and his self-created soul skills too well."
"I'm sure Tang Yin is Tang San. Even if he's not, there's definitely some unspeakable secret between them."
"Similar martial spirits could be coincidental, but similar soul skills and self-created skills as well…"
"Teacher, could there be such coincidences in the world?"
Ma Hongjun spoke with a straight face, and after saying this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly...
