However, he was still prepared. He shook his wrist and used his soul power to shake away the leaching of the Golden Dragon Spear. He then pressed his palm hard onto Xia Zhengleng’s chest, infusing his soul power into her body. This kept the Golden Dragon Spear from devouring her life energy.

A gentle voice called out, “Leave her to me.”

Qiangu Qingfeng was about to flare up with range. However, his gaze softened when he raised his head and looked up at the person heading his way. He softened, though he was still feeling slightly reluctant.

“We accept our defeat. Sorry for the trouble you have to go through to treat my wife.”

It was the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali that came to his side.

Yali gazed at him deeply. She had a much better impression of Qiangu Qingfeng compared to the hatred she felt for Qiangu Dongfeng. At least, this was a man that loved his wife deeply. She could not help thinking of Yun Ming subconsciously upon seeing Qiangu Qingfeng.

“Wulin!” Yali called out to Tang Wulin.

There was a flash of golden radiance and the Golden Dragon Spear that had pierced Xia Zhengling’s chest vanished into thin air. Her life energy was no longer being devoured.

Yali pressed her right hand against Xia Zhengleng’s chest. Bursts of gentle, milky white light were infused into her body. Thick life source replenished Xia Zhengleng and finally stabilized her drained life energy.

As she was treating Xia Zhengleng, all four of them descended slowly and landed on the ground.

Qiangu Qingfeng raised his head to look at Tang Wulin who had already called back his Golden Dragon Spear in the distance. His enraged eyes were almost spurting fire. Had he not needed Yali to continue treating Xia Zhengleng at this moment, he may have charged toward Tang Wulin with all his might.

Tang Wulin landed on the ground expressionlessly. He looked like the very image of a God to the eyes of the parents and students in the distance!

The scene where Tang Wulin shot down the Cold Rhyme Douluo with his spear earlier had truly surprised the entire crowd. No one would have thought that the battle of two-on-two would end under such circumstances.

The biggest mistake Qiangu Qingfeng made was that he should not have given Tang Wulin the opportunity to make a move. In the end, he had underestimated the power of Tang Wulin’s outburst.

The Golden Dragon Spear had not only contained Tang Wulin’s understanding of the spear’s consciousness and Spearsoul, but it had also contained the force of the elemental calamity produced from One with the Heaven!

After spending such a long time performing Heavenly Refinement, Tang Wulin’s comprehension of elemental calamities was already much more profound. His knowledge of the planar law had also been elevated to a brand-new level. Even many Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouses could not rival Tang Wulin’s understanding of elemental law.

The spear strike was meant to conquer the enemy and achieve an early victory. This was because Tang Wulin could tell from the start that it would not be easy for him to defeat Qiangu Qingfeng, but the Cold Rhyme Douluo was no match for him. At his Hyper Douluo-rank, Tang Wulin felt absolutely confident about that. He had genuinely spared no effort in launching that strike. There was a saying that went ‘attack the enemy’s vitals to draw their guard’. Tang Wulin was at his weakest when he tossed out his spear. If Qiangu Qingfeng were to launch an all-out assault on him at the time, Qiangu Qingfeng would certainly be able to suppress him. On the other hand, Tang Wulin was sure that Qiangu Qingfeng would be distracted when he attacked Xia Zhengleng, based on his judgement of human nature. At the very least, Qiangu Qingfeng would only attack Tang Wulin after confirming that his wife was safe. This would give Tang Wulin sufficient time to catch his breath.

Thus, the second round of the two-on-two battles ended with a victory for Shrek Academy. The score was pulled closer once again. It had become six to five!

“Alright, her origin energy has taken damage. She should take a good rest and have some tonic to replenish her life energy. She will be fine after recuperating for a period of time,” Yali explained to Qiangu Qingfeng by her side while raising her hand.

Qiangu Qingfeng’s aura was slightly irregular, but he managed to force out two words in the end. “Thank you.”

Yali merely shook her head before turning around and returning to Shrek Academy’s side.

There was no doubt that Shrek’s side had received more support from the public in this match because Tang Wulin had fought against two opponents by himself. Even though he had used such force against the Cold Rhyme Douluo, the truth was that she had been attacking him the whole time!

It could be said that the participants from both sides had yet to fully utilize their abilities before the battle had ended. However, the result had displayed Tang Wulin’s understanding of the entire battlefield, as well as his control over timing and opportunity.

The people had truly seen how terrifying the Dragon Emperor Douluo’s outburst attack was after witnessing the spear strike. That flying Golden Dragon Spear was simply all-conquering!

Why was the Cold Rhyme Douluo rendered incapable of stopping the Golden Dragon Spear from devouring her life energy when her body was impaled? She was injured when her martial soul was broken, and her body had been pierced through as well. How would she be able to defend herself in time?

Tang Wulin completed the battle by fighting against two opponents alone. The Holy Spirit Douluo’s only purpose in this battle was to treat Cold Rhyme Douluo after the fighting was done. This had also displayed Shrek Academy’s nobility and generosity.

Qiangu Dongfeng arrived at his elder brother’s side. He was in no mood to pay attention to Qiangu Dongfeng, as he was only concerned with examining his wife.

Qiangu Dongfeng heaved a sigh to himself. It was an unfair loss for them! His elder brother had lost mainly because he had underestimated the opponent. Qiangu Qingfeng had not taken the boy seriously.

‘I should not be regarding this boy as a youth anymore. I have to treat him as an opponent equal to my own rank. I must definitely take this boy seriously.’

Qiangu Dongfeng found that he had even startled himself when this thought emerged in his mind. Since when did Tang Wulin qualify to be treated as a Limit Douluo?

Qiangu Dongfeng had begun to feel slightly anxious at this point of the competition. When he proposed the bet earlier, he was under the assumption that victory was firmly in his grasp. After all, the Spirit Pagoda had profound inner secrets that Shrek could not compare to.

Even after the battle had begun, he was still under the same assumption. Shrek did not seem to stand a chance at all. However, every time he assumed that his side had gained the upper hand in a battle, Shrek was capable of finding a new approach to even the score for some reason. Both sides were still caught in a stalemate at the moment.

“Pagoda Master Qiangu,” said Tang Wulin toward Qiangu Dongfeng smilingly.

Qiangu Dongfeng said, “What do you have in mind, Tang Sect Master?”

Tang Wulin replied, “The score now is six to five. Even though your side has the upper hand, the next round of two-on-two is actually no longer important. Today is an important day for the new students to enroll in our Shrek Academy’s entrance examination. I don’t think we should delay each other any longer. Why don’t we carry out the seven-to-seven battle and decide the victor and loser in one battle?”

Qiangu Dongfeng gazed deeply at Tang Wulin. Looking at him, the boy appeared to be fully confident. Why was he so sure in this case? It did not make sense!

Could it be that he was putting on a show as a bluff? However, the battle of seven-on-seven was an honest trial of strength. It was also true that the final round of two-on-two would be meaningless. It was impossible for him to weaken them in the final two-on-two match because they could just choose to accept their defeat. The winner of the seven-on-seven match would receive seven points, which seemed a little unreasonable at this point. It would have benefited his side more if the seven-on-seven battle was only worth three or four points. He had not given it due consideration because of his absolute confidence in the beginning.

Ideas came into his mind at lightning speed. Qiangu Dongfeng nodded and said, “As that is the case, we shall decide the victory and defeat with one battle.”

Tang Wulin said, “Then we shall rest and recuperate for five minutes. Shall we begin five minutes from now?”

“Certainly!” Qiangu Dongfeng agreed. The battle between Tang Wulin and Qiangu Qingfeng did not last long, so neither side was greatly fatigued. It would be pointless for Qiangu Dongfeng to stop Tang Wulin from resting, so he might as well behave generously. They would start after Tang Wulin was fully rested.

Both of them returned to their teams and began the brief yet intense discussion.

Teamwork was the most crucial factor in the battle of seven-on-seven. At the same time, it was also a display of their overall ability. A team would not be defeated just by being powerful individually.

The media was excited as well. A battle of seven-on-seven between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda was, without a doubt, the greatest battle of its type in the soul master’s world.
