Kapitel 173: Chapter 173: Tang Hao, I Will Kill You
"You are Tang San's teacher, so you are also my enemy," Su Wen declared.
Grandmaster's expression was one of astonishment, completely not expecting this response. The conflict between them, it turned out, was simply because Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher?
"Xiaosan shouldn't have any connection with you, right? Even back in Nuoding City, there was no conflict between you and him," Grandmaster puzzled.
Jealousy?
This was the first reason that popped into Grandmaster's mind.
"No, my hatred for him has been set since before his birth," Su Wen squinted his eyes, a sense of killing intent pervading.
"I know you are also lurking in the shadows. Just wait, Tang Hao, I will kill you."
He spoke to the air, his words filled with killing intent. Even though he was only at the fifty-ninth level, he had the confidence to challenge Tang Hao.
The stinging pain at his brow kept him vigilant, ready to unleash his fifth Spirit Skill to escape at any moment. However, Tang Hao dared not make a move either. There were too many Titled Douluo gathered in the Imperial Hunting Grounds now.
Tang Hao didn't even dare to use Soul Power to oppress Su Wen, only harboring murderous intent towards him. Even the locked-on killing intent couldn't be activated. At this moment, Grandmaster was also shocked. He didn't understand why Su Wen would have a feud with Tang Hao.
"You come from New Moon Village, I understand," Tang Hao, shrouded in a black robe, had entered the tent at some point.
"As long as you know. Regardless of the reason, my parents died because of you, and you must pay the price," Su Wen said calmly, as if he were not afraid of Tang Hao at all.
"Your whole life is a mistake, a tragedy. You've implicated so many people. If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to blame others or even dare to seek revenge,"
Tang Hao, shrouded in black, couldn't be seen clearly, but his heavy breathing was audible, showing he was angered by Su Wen's words. "You can lay hands on me, but Grandpa Dugu will definitely kill Tang San. And as for the Clear Sky Sect, I believe Grandpa Duge can make sure it has no future," Su Wen remained calm.
"Furthermore, after you lay hands on me, I can guarantee you won't be able to leave the Imperial Hunting Grounds."
"I'll wait for you to break through to Titled Douluo. When that time comes, I'll unleash all my strength. If you can't kill me, I'll kill you," Tang Hao took a deep breath and left Su Wen's tent. Grandmaster stood still at that moment, like a clown, not knowing the significance of his presence there.
"Also, I hope Grandmaster, you won't refer to yourself as Grandmaster in the future. I believe you understand the weight of the title 'Grandmaster' and the level of your theoretical achievements. Don't mislead the Spirit Masters in the Spirit Master world anymore," Su Wen issued the eviction order while also advising Yu Xiaogang.
A surge of Soul Power erupted, and Yu Xiaogang's figure kept retreating, directly backing out of the tent.
He turned around with an unpleasant expression and left.
"This is outrageous!"
Inside the Shrek Team's tent, Liu Erlong's voice sounded out. Upon hearing that Yu Xiaogang had been rudely expelled by Su Wen, she erupted in anger.
Even Flender, usually the peacemaker, didn't attempt to calm Liu Erlong down. He wore a displeased expression, equally discontent with Su Wen's actions.
Tang San's gaze turned icy. Seeing Su Wen treat his teacher like this, he felt a murderous intent rising.
Su Wen, you have chosen the path of death.
Yu Xiaogang sighed, "Well, it doesn't matter. After all, my purpose this time involves his fundamental interests."
In his words, he was prying into others' secrets, so being kicked out was actually normal.
He didn't explain Su Wen and Tang Hao's grievances to the Shrek side.
Su Wen ignored Shrek's reaction and didn't bother to consider it.
After driving Grandmaster away, he continued to cultivate.
Although he had shown some toughness today, ultimately, it relied on his means of survival and the factors restraining Tang Hao.
This was not his own strength, nor was it entirely safe.
Even though he had vented and openly revealed his hatred in front of his enemy, Su Wen still felt somewhat frustrated.
"It won't be long, very soon. It won't take ten years. Give me another five years, and I'll have the ability to kill you."
Su Wen adjusted his mood and began to ponder the details of constructing the virtual world, using the process of contemplation to engage in alternative simulation, accelerating his Soul Power cultivation.
If during the preliminaries, each team was still preserving their strength, then as the elimination rounds began, each team would no longer hold back their power.
The defeats of Skywater Academy and Elephant Armored Academy were enough to make people wary.
Being taken advantage of by a team without a Spirit Ancestor was the most frustrating.
While the Skywater Team wasn't careless enough to be caught off guard without even having the chance to use the Spirit Fusion Technique, they still fell behind significantly in the early stages of the battle against the Shrek Team due to some negligence.
Even though they eventually used the Spirit Fusion Technique, the Spirit Fusion Technique of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er from Skywater Academy differs from Hell White Tiger and doesn't possess overwhelming power. It mainly manifests as powerful group attacks with a wide range, which can be evaded.
Although Tang San didn't have the ability to resist ice, the quality of the Eight Spider Lances far surpassed that of Blue Silver Grass. Coupled with his agility and the fusion with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he managed to hold on under this Spirit Fusion Technique.
Of course, apart from the examples of being taken advantage of, the tournament's format is also an important factor that prevents major teams from holding back their strength during the elimination rounds.
The rankings in the elimination rounds are preparation for the final championship match, and securing a good ranking will greatly benefit the subsequent matches.
"Sunflower Martial Spirit, capable of Replication," Su Wen became interested in a student's Martial Spirit.
In addition, there are many Martial Spirits that have piqued Su Wen's interest.
The biggest difference between the elimination rounds and the preliminaries is the maximum display of individual Spirit Master strength. Each student competes in one-on-one battles, showcasing the Spirit Master's abilities to the fullest.
This is also the knowledge and experience that Su Wen has absorbed and learned from.
Lin Dong and Ye Luochen also gained a lot in the elimination rounds.
Especially Lin Dong, whose Martial Spirit mutated into the Five Elements attribute. Although the attributes are poor, the development and application of various Spirit Skills in this battle have significant reference value for him.
As long as he completes the Evolution of his Martial Spirit, he will be able to gradually digest this harvest and turn it into nourishment for developing his own Spirit Skills.
The elimination rounds lasted for a month.
"Indeed, merely watching is not at all stimulating," Su Wen opened his eyes and sighed.
Although he felt he had gained quite a bit, his Soul Power was still stuck at a bottleneck.
With just one step away from reaching level sixty, Su Wen also wished to break through under the pressure of the tournament.
Unfortunately, he practiced too quickly, and his strength was too strong, so there was not even a bit of pressure.
"Perhaps this is the price of genius."
At the end of the elimination rounds, Emperor Xue Ye once again gave his final assessment of the month-long competition.
Su Wen noticed an unfriendly gaze in the crowd.
Tang San approached slowly.
"Su Wen, you shouldn't disrespect my teacher just because your Soul Power level is high."
