Match Ended

Looking at the scene before them, no one expected that Tang Wulin, with only three rings, could unleash such formidable combat power. In the end, Anping and Gu Yuena emerged victorious.

Observing Anping and Gu Yuena supporting each other, with Xu Xiaoyan standing in a daze on the sidelines and Shrek Academy's students lying on the ground, the entire stadium fell silent before erupting into loud cheers.

The referee in the air was also momentarily stunned. When Tang San's consciousness possessed Tang Wulin and pierced the fused Anping and Gu Yuena, he keenly felt the force behind the strike. For a moment, he contemplated halting the game, but to his surprise, a stunning reversal unfolded in the end.

After a brief moment of astonishment, following Ling Hongchen's signal, he dispelled the protective shield enveloping the arena. Using his soul power, he proclaimed loudly, "I declare Sun and Moon as winner of this match!"

He then turned to instruct the staff to tend to the injured Shrek students. Soon, except for Tang Wulin, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, and Xie Xie gradually regained their senses.

The twists and turns of the game finally reached a conclusion. Diverging from the cheers of Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Shrek Academy's teachers and students, watching on mobile phones or TVs, continued to witness Tang Wulin's defeat. The suspense built up, only to plummet.

Seeing Tang Wulin wielding a spear like a war god, thrusting at Anping and Gu Yuena, those affiliated with Shrek felt the tide was turning. Little did they anticipate falling just short of victory. Ultimately, it ended in defeat.

As the protective cover of the arena dissipated, Wu Zhangkong materialized on the stage in a flash of white light. He swiftly took the unconscious Tang Wulin from the hands of the staff, squatting down to assess Tang Wulin's physical condition.

Observing Wu Zhangkong's appearance, Anping and Gu Yuena declined assistance from the staff, proceeding toward the waiting area.

After a thorough examination, Wu Zhangkong discovered that Tang Wulin's soul power was completely depleted, the blood power nearly drained, and his mental power severely diminished. If not for an inexplicable force sustaining him, his soul might have returned to the underworld.

Wu Zhangkong rose slowly, intercepting Anping and Gu Yuena midway. He fixed them with a cold gaze and uttered in a stern tone, "You were once classmates, and there's no deep-seated animosity. I fail to comprehend the reason for such severity."

After spending considerable time together, Wu Zhangkong's feelings for Tang Wulin transcended that of a mere disciple; he regarded Tang Wulin as almost a son. Witnessing his student harmed in this manner stirred anger within him.

Under Wu Zhangkong's intimidating presence, Anping and Gu Yuena, fatigued from the battle, teetered on the brink of collapse. Observing the tense standoff, Ling Hongchen swiftly positioned himself between the three, breaking Wu Zhangkong's oppressive aura on the duo. He spoke coldly, "As students of Sun Moon Academy, it's not your place to question us. Injuries are inevitable in the game, and this match is broadcast live across the federation."

After expressing his gratitude, Ling Hongchen addressed Anping and Gu Yuena in a gentle tone, "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and rest first."

Wu Zhangkong, having regained composure, remained silent and picked up Tang Wulin. Realizing the severity of the injury, he knew it was time to seek the assistance of Holy Spirit Douluo. Turning to Ling Hongchen, he requested, "Dean Hongchen, my disciple is seriously injured. I hope you can provide a quiet place. I will report it to the college for immediate assistance."

"Of course, that's okay." Ling Hongchen dialed a number on his mobile phone, issuing orders. Shortly after, a staff member arrived to guide Wu Zhangkong to a designated location.

Wu Zhangkong, cradling Tang Wulin, followed silently. As they passed other Shrek Academy students, he motioned for them to join. The group moved in silence, their spirits dampened compared to their earlier enthusiasm. The distinction between this incident and the one in the Skysea Alliance was stark—now it was a live broadcast for the entire federation to witness.

Upon reaching the residence provided by Sun Moon academy, Wu Zhangkong inspected the room for monitoring equipment. Satisfied, he dialed a number on his mobile phone, connecting the call promptly.

"Why aren't you saying anything? You dared to challenge Sun Moon Academy, and now you're silent in defeat?" Zhuo Shi, irritated by Wu Zhangkong's silence, was on the verge of cursing.

After a moment of quiet, Wu Zhangkong spoke seriously, "Teacher, Wulin is seriously injured. Can you please ask Holy Spirit Douluo to come and assess?"

Zhuo Shi responded coldly, "Wulin is seriously injured? How severe?"

"Soul power depleted, bloodline power exhausted, and mental power sluggish. If not for an unknown force sustaining him, I fear..." Wu Zhangkong's tone was grave.

"I'll settle the score with you later. I'm finding Holy Spirit Douluo now." Zhou Shi hung up without waiting for a response.

Simultaneously, in Tang Wulin's spiritual realm, Tang San's consciousness meticulously cleared the last remnants of green light and shadow. As the final traces dissipated, the golden light and shadow of his consciousness dimmed significantly.

As the green light dissipated, Tang Wulin, finally free from the pain, weakly inquired, "Old Tang, what happened with that green light just now? Did we win? I feel so weak."

Tang San's consciousness sighed and explained, "No, I didn't expect Douluo World to possess such a peculiar ability. The Golden Dragon Spear was not only destroyed, but it also nearly cost you your life."

Misunderstanding the nature of the Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wulin, thinking it was a mere weapon, whispered, "Peculiar? Could it be an evil soul master?"

"No, an evil soul master wouldn't exhibit such uniqueness. I've exhausted myself this time, and I'm about to enter a deep sleep. Two things before I go: Don't forget about the seal, and your body is currently very weak. To recover, you must go to the Shrek Inner Courtyard." With that, Tang San dissipated in the air without waiting for further questions.

"Shrek's Inner Courtyard?" Tang Wulin murmured quietly as he observed the dissipation of the golden light in his practice space. After a while, he exited the spiritual realm.

Wu Zhangkong, looking at Tang Wulin as he slowly opened his eyes, asked in a hushed tone, "How do you feel?"

Opening his eyes, Tang Wulin saw Wu Zhangkong's concerned gaze. Attempting to rise, he discovered his body was extremely feeble, as if not his own. He could only express in a weak tone, "Teacher Wu, I'm sorry. We lost and brought embarrassment to Shrek Academy."

Wu Zhangkong reassured him, "Loss is part of the journey. Failure is the mother of success. Just aim for victory next time. Your health is the foundation. You're still very weak now. I've informed the academy, and someone will arrive soon. I'll treat you, but for now, rest."
