Chapter 99.

"Third Soul Skill, Cobweb binding!"

Tang San murmured softly, focusing on Wang Feng, who was almost within reach. After a prolonged preparation, he finally released his third soul skill/ability.

The energy swirling in his palm was hurled directly above him as myriad small yet resilient vines sprouted wildly around the two, weaving a spider web that trapped them instantly. Due to Wang Feng's rapid movements, Tang San couldn't release it from a distance but he seized the opportunity above to bound himself and Wang Feng together.

Though it came at the price of entangling himself, Wang Feng was also ultimately restrained.

"Brother Feng, even if you manage to break free from my cobwebs, you'll still succumb to the toxins present in my Blue Silver Grass vines and the Ghost vines venom." Tang San remarked, eyeing Wang Feng, who was trapped with him.

"The combined effect of the two toxins is very formidable. Even Dai Mubai wouldn't last long. Despite your robust physique, sustaining it forcefully will lead to a gradual decline in your strength. And you still need to contend with three formidable attack system soul masters."

"In just one minute, you'll be fully poisoned but have to face three attack system soul master in battle afterwards. It's our win." Tang San spoke softly.

"Little San executed the strategy brilliantly! Despite trapping himself, he successfully unleashed the Cobwebs and ensured the team's victory!" the Grandmaster in the distance couldn't help but nod.

Tang San was right.

Regardless of Wang Feng's physical prowess, trying to withstand the two poison was impossible and there was no chance of recovery without employing his soul skill and martial soul. Even if he could endure it, three attack system soul masters still loomed ahead ready to give him one hell of a battle.

Even without the influence of the two toxins, facing three opponents within a minute and defeating them would still pose a formidable challenge. Tang San's decision seemed to be the wisest course of action.

"Indeed, battles like these foster growth." the Grandmaster mused, a hint of a smile in his eyes. The skirmish with Wang Feng showcased a heightened level of cooperation among the seven, with noticeable improvements in their shortcomings.

Tang San, as remote control system soul master, flourished in the role of a commander, capitalizing on the luxury of time for contemplation and strategy. In a team, most of the time, impeccable coordination was the deciding factor leading to a win or loss.

Observing this, the remaining few couldn't help but smile.

"Boss Dai, Ma Hongjun, come and savor some mushroom sausages and grilled sausages and recover! You'll need all your strength, to take on Wang Feng later. A minute can feel quite lengthy in a battle!"

Oscar seized the opportunity while Wang Feng was entangled in the Cobweb, swiftly delivering the prepared sausages to the distant duo. Dai Mubai, standing a hundred meters away, breathed a sigh of relief witnessing the scene.

"Brother Feng, no matter your clever tactics, the victory will ultimately be ours!"

Xiao Wu stood guardedly around Oscar, reassured to see Wang Feng now focusing on Tang San. She dreaded her Feng'ge's unconventional ways that might harm Oscar.

As Ma Hongjun and Oscar received the sausages, a resounding boom echoed. Wang Feng, at the center of the Cobweb, had broken free, though still sustaining some minor injuries on his arms. The wounds highlighted the robustness of his defense.

But as Tang San had predicted, even a small wound allowed the toxins to swiftly infiltrate his body and mix in with his blood.

Wang Feng, now free, cracked his neck, making a clicking sound. Tang San, who was trapped and equally poisoned, could no longer participate in the fight. Without a word, Wang Feng turned his gaze to Tang San, clenched his fists and advanced toward Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu.

Exiting the Cobweb, Wang Feng bypassed Tang San and Oscar also refrained from throwing the sausage at him, knowing the futility of that endeavor. Simultaneously, Wang Feng dashed and initiated an attack on Dai Mubai.

"You won't defeat us within a minute!"

Dai Mubai asserted confidently. His White Tiger Vajra Transformation lasted for half an hour and the battle was just three minutes long.

After devouring the grilled sausages, he rapidly recovered from the earlier punch's injuries, also displaying two transparent wings from the back as he exuded burning fighting spirit.

Wang Feng remained silent, leaping into the air and dashing towards Dai Mubai with a punch, akin to a missile propelled at high speed.

"Come!" Determination gleamed in Dai Mubai's eyes as he met Wang Feng head-on.

Boom!

The impact sent Dai Mubai once again flying back, crashing into the ground and raising a huge amount of dust. Wang Feng, ready to charge at Dai Mubai again, was halted by Ma Hongjun.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ground trembled as dust clouds billowed.

"Xiao Wu, join the fray and alleviate the pressure for them!"

Upon Tang San's commanding tone, even Xiao Wu entered the fray. Time was of the essence and Oscar's role had diminished. The key now was the trio's ability to restrain Wang Feng in a battle of attrition, who was currently grappling with the effects of two types of poison. If they could endure for a minute, victory would be theirs.

With three individuals simultaneously shouldering the pressure, they found moments to catch their breath, making it increasingly improbable for Wang Feng to defeat them one by one. The odds of success tilted further in their favor.

Figures were sent flying one after another, only to swiftly reengage Wang Feng in battle. Each time Wang Feng sent Dai Mubai soaring with a powerful punch, ready to deliver a devastating blow, Xiao Wu would teleport behind him, hindering him. Utilizing her flexible waist bow, she always manages to disturb his rhythm.

And after Wang Feng tossed Xiao Wu aside, Ma Hongjun would charge in. And as he smacked Ma Hongjun away, Dai Mubai would be able to rise to his feet once more. The cycle continued for a period of time, creating a relentless and coordinated assault on Wang Feng.

"With three individuals alleviating the pressure, the task of neutralizing the two toxins one after another would became nearly impossible for Wang Feng. Mubai, Xiao San and the others would emerge victorious in this battle. So, Oscar's role has became inconsequential now." The distant grandmaster nodded approvingly.

The combined strength of the seven surpassed his expectations. The ability to persist in the fight for three minutes exceeded the Grandmaster's initial estimation. If not for Ning Rongrong's elimination at the beginning, the others might have found themselves in a more relaxed situation.

Yet, a lingering doubt lingered in the Grandmaster's mind, why did Wang Feng prioritize Tang San as the second target?

Time quickly elapsed.

Victory appeared imminent for the Shrek Seven Devils as they continued their back and forth assaults.

However...

Only about when ten seconds were remaining.

Amidst the settling dust, Wang Feng stood alone on the battlefield.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu—all three laid on the ground obviously defeated.

"How did he do that!"

Tang San exclaimed as he rested, having just re-absorbed the toxins from his body with the help of Blue Silver Grass.

Even the Grandmaster was taken aback and took a few steps forward, his eyes widening.

The trio fought together to share the burden and Wang Feng, affected by two toxins, shouldn't possibly overpower them in such a short span, had miraculously won!

Especially against Dai Mubai who was at his full power!

His combat prowess, physical strength, defensive capabilities were all unmatched at someone at the same stage! Not to mention when there were two more attack system soul master assisting him.

Unless... unless Wang Feng had utilized soul power and soul abilities!

The Grandmaster's gaze flickered, yet he had sensed no fluctuations in Wang Feng's soul power from beginning to end. In other words, he hadn't used it!

In the distance, Flender and Zhao Wuji also exchanged puzzled glances.

Undeniably, Wang Feng's physical prowess had undergone significant enhancement since his return from the Star Dou Great Forest. However, it couldn't have skyrocketed to such an extent.

While he could send Dai Mubai flying with a single punch for hundreds of meters, it was utterly implausible for him to neutralize two types of toxins within seconds and rendering Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu incapacitated at the same time.

As the dust settled and they examined the three figures on the ground, a shock reverberated through them. Numerous scars covered the arms of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu. The poison had also permeated their entire arms, leaving them lying paralyzed and trembling.

The intricate, cobweb like poisonous scars from the wounds were starkly visible on their bodies.

"You lost." Wang Feng declared, finally looking at the crowd with a triumphant smile. As if to explain, he opened his palms, revealing the hidden Blue Silver Grass vine spikes.

"That's the Ghost Vines spikes from my Blue Silver Grass and the minuscule vines entangled in the Cobweb earlier!" Tang San felt a jolt as if lightning had struck his mind.

The Grandmaster, too, stared at Wang Feng in disbelief, piecing it together in an instant.

"This kid is quite cunning." he murmured.

Flender and Zhao Wuji, at a distance, were also stunned, finally grasping the reason behind Wang Feng's unexpected victory.

"Good job!"

The Grandmaster whispered in amazement,

"Incredible... You initiated the attack on Tang San intentionally, allowing him to ensnare you with the Cobwebs. Then, leveraging your robust physical strength, you discreetly extracted the poison-imbued spikes and the incredibly small Cobweb vines and hid them in your palms!"

"And as you engaged in close combat with the three of them, you strategically inflicted small scratches, introducing the two types of poison into their bodies. With each subtle wound, they may not have even noticed and in just thirty seconds, coupled with the force behind each of your moves, the poison rapidly permeated their internal system like wildfire, rendering them combat ineffective and inducing a state of paralysis!"

"Their physical prowess couldn't match yours!"

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to completely impossible to overpower all three of them in such a brief span of time."

The Grandmaster fell into silence after explaining.

This battle, according to his expectations, should have ended in Wang Feng's defeat. He had thought of utilizing Wang Feng to refine the Shrek Seven's teamwork and address their weaknesses. Given the numerous constraints, Wang Feng's victory seemed implausible.

Surprisingly, Wang Feng emerged victorious, completely reversing the situation. And he achieved this using Tang San's own Blue Silver Grass without Tang San even realizing it.

"A very well thought out strategy!"

The Grandmaster expressed deep admiration.

This battle showcased a subtlety surpassing Zhu Zhuqing's bout with Tang San. Wang Feng's strategic clarity was evident at every juncture, with each turning point yielding a tactical advantage.

The most pivotal move was redirecting everyone's focus onto Tang San, drawing him in. Subsequently, the remaining six, almost systematically, fell into the traps set by Wang Feng. It resembled a hunter enticing prey with bait, patiently leading them to ultimately strike at the opportune moment.

"This is one of the most thrilling battle I've ever witnessed!" Flender exclaimed from a distance.

"While they may lack high-level skills, the excitement lies precisely in that. Wang Feng's victory is a testament to meticulous planning, with every step carefully calculated and executed."

"He didn't utilize any soul abilities or a trace of soul power! Instead, he made use of everything available on the battlefield – the stones on the ground, the enemy's comrades and even their own soul skills against them!"

With this, Flender marveled. As one progresses to higher levels, he realized that engaging in pure martial arts and soul skills becomes increasingly rare. While there might be opportunities for such close combat below level 60, at higher levels, the prospect diminishes.

This also signifies a display of wisdom.

"The higher you go, the stronger you become and the thrill of combat tends to be more monotonous. Yet, it's in this stage the exhilaration of a true battle lies. At this moment, everyone remained silent."

When Wang Feng revealed his hands, everyone in the arena wasn't foolish. They comprehended the situation. A collective realization dawned and except for Dai Mubai's trio, the remaining four regarded Wang Feng with a mix of shock and admiration.

Addressing Oscar, Wang Feng remarked, "You don't need me to deal with you, right?"

Oscar was left speechless, while Ning Rongrong snorted, her throat still hoarse.
