Douluo Dalu: Reincarnated as Yan

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: One Against Seven, Crushing Shrek



Under Yan's protection, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and the other four teammates were all sitting cross-legged. None of them knew when exactly they had been poisoned.

Their expressions were pained, and their faces gradually turned dark.

Bibi Dong's face changed drastically upon seeing this.

She couldn't believe it her Spirit Hall Academy team, which had just held such a dominant position, had suddenly lost the ability to fight.

In the blink of an eye, no one had seen how exactly they were poisoned.

But everyone knew the poison came from Tang San, as his Eight Spider Lances were inherently venomous.

Originally, the Spirit Hall team had an overwhelming advantage. Now, the situation had completely flipped.

From Yan's condition, it appeared he had not been poisoned.

However, the other six members of his team had all lost their combat capabilities.

On the other side, except for Tang San, the Shrek team was unharmed.

Yan had already consumed some soul power in his earlier clashes with the enemy. He was not in peak condition.

What's more, with Oscar and Ning Rongrong's support, Tang San might still be a formidable opponent.

As a result, Yan was now facing all seven members of the Shrek Academy team alone.

Trying to win a one-versus-seven battle—this was nearly impossible.

Spectators like Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian were visibly upset.

Huo Wu exclaimed angrily,

"Despicable! That little punk from Shrek used such dirty, underhanded methods. Even if they win, it's a disgrace!"

"I still believe in Brother Yan. I believe he can defeat them," Shui Bing'er said softly.

For some reason, she had unwavering faith in Yan faith that he could turn the tide and create a miracle on this battlefield.

Bibi Dong looked toward Yu Xiaogang, a trace of anger in her gaze.

"Yu Xiaogang, this is the fine disciple you've raised? How admirable of you."

Yu Xiaogang met her gaze, and a smug expression appeared on his face.

With Oscar and Ning Rongrong's assistance, Tang San felt much better.

The six opponents he had poisoned were no longer a threat.

His gaze was fixed on Yan.

He clearly remembered that when he used the Tang Sect secret technique, it hit not just those six, but also Yan.

Yet Yan showed no signs of poisoning.

"Damn it! He really withstood the venom of my Eight Spider Lances? Was it because of the powerful flame energy in his body? Or something else? Could he really be that Herb thief?"

Tang San consumed another recovery sausage from Oscar and continued receiving buffs from Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Shrek's Seven Monsters chose not to attack. Since the other six were incapacitated, they decided to wait until Tang San had fully recovered before engaging Yan together.

Ironically, this pause gave Yan time to recover some soul power.

Having absorbed the Eight Petal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Delicate Apricot, Yan's recovery rate was far beyond that of ordinary soul masters.

The match had entered a strange lull. The plaza was deathly silent.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo raised his voice

"Your Holiness the Pope, I must remind you of something."

Bibi Dong looked at him coldly.

"Poison Douluo, what do you want to say?"

"Your Holiness, Tang San's spider venom is a compound of the hundred-year and thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider poisons. It's extremely potent and fast-acting. Only he can provide the antidote. If this drags on, their lives may be in danger."

Though Dugu Bo spoke as if offering a kind reminder, his tone had a touch of mockery and pride.

Bibi Dong's expression darkened further.

Behind her, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the red-robed bishops were all filled with fury.

As a titled Douluo in the poison arts, Dugu Bo's words were hard to refute.

Victory had been all but guaranteed, only to be overturned like this. Bibi Dong found it hard to accept.

Yet she couldn't just stand by and watch her people die especially her beloved disciple, Hu Liena.

Just as she stood up to speak, Yan suddenly said:

"Dugu Bo, stop fearmongering."

"Your Holiness, please sit. Shrek's plot won't succeed."

As soon as Yan finished, he quickly retrieved six black pills from his soul tool and gave them to Xie Yue and the others.

In the past three years, Yan had learned herbology and basic alchemy under Chrysanthemum Douluo. While he hadn't reached a master level, he could create simple detoxification pills.

Tang San hadn't absorbed the Eight Petal Ice Crystal Grass or Blazing Delicate Apricot, so his Eight Spider Lances lacked their combined cold-heat dual poison. All they contained was the Human-Faced Spider's venom.

While Yan's antidotes might not completely neutralize the poison, they could ease the symptoms and buy time.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden development.

The situation on the field had become utterly unpredictable.

Bibi Dong's expression eased slightly. She chose to trust Yan and sat back down.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a smile, both full of confidence in Yan.

In contrast, the Shrek side looked grim.

Dugu Bo was infuriated at being addressed so disrespectfully by someone not even twenty years old, but he couldn't vent his anger in front of Bibi Dong and the other high-ranking members of Spirit Hall.

After taking Yan's pills, Xie Yue and the others clearly improved.

Tang San and the Shrek team were in disbelief.

Tang San's plan of self-sacrifice had nearly succeeded who would've thought Yan had this kind of skill?

This only deepened Tang San's suspicion that Yan might truly be the mysterious Herb thief.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly shouted:

"Referee! I protest! Spirit Hall Academy is cheating! The tournament rules clearly prohibit the use of external items. Is consuming unidentified substances during the match allowed?!"

The audience erupted in an uproar.

Yan loudly countered:

"Those six are no longer taking part in the fight. Should I just stand by and watch your scheme succeed?"

His words left Yu Xiaogang speechless.

The red-robed bishop acting as referee quickly declared:

"Objection overruled!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen.

Spirit Hall was the tournament's host they would naturally defend their own.

Hu Liena and the others had stabilized somewhat.

Xie Yue said, a little frustrated:

"Brother Yan, it's our fault for being careless. We can't fight anymore. We're counting on you now."

The others looked at Yan as well, their eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

Yan comforted them:

"Don't worry. I'll fight to the very end. No one will take this championship from us!"

With Oscar and Ning Rongrong's help, Tang San had recovered a lot.

But both of them were drained, their faces pale.

Ning Rongrong whispered.

"Brother San, I've almost run out of soul power. I can't provide more buffs for now. But after some rest, I'll recover a bit."

"You've done great, Rongrong. You and Oscar fall back I'll handle the rest."

"Okay. Be careful."

"Don't worry. We'll win this."

Tang San was still full of confidence.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar slowly retreated to the edge of the field, remaining within the match boundary.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression softened somewhat.

Rongrong had done all she could. As long as she didn't rejoin the battle, no one would harm her.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had only four legs left, but he gritted his teeth and prepared for the fight alongside Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun.

Yan stood alone, facing the five members of the Shrek team. There was no fear in his eyes.

Dai Mubai grinned:

"You really think you can beat all five of us alone? Give up now it'll save you some pain."

Yan sneered coldly."That's what you should be telling yourselves. Enough talk come at me!"

With that, he released his Flame Lord martial soul and entered battle mode.

Tang San and the others activated their spirits and spirit rings.

The spectators held their breath, eagerly awaiting the coming clash.

Tang San nodded at Ma Hongjun, who immediately took to the skies with his wings spread.

Almost at the same moment, the other four launched their attacks.

Xiao Wu leapt from the left, Tang San rushed from the right.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing charged from the front.

Their goal was to swarm Yan from four directions, leaving only the rear as his retreat. If he stepped out of bounds, it would count as a loss.

The atmosphere was so tense it felt suffocating.

In Yan's calm eyes, blazing golden-red light suddenly erupted. The flames within his body surged as if summoned by some ancient power.

Then, a pair of fiery red wings suddenly spread out from behind him without any warning.

On the wings, the flames jumped, like a phoenix reborn.

Yan suddenly soared into the sky, piercing the clouds, and met the evil fire phoenix that fell from the sky.

Ma Hongjun's first spirit ring suddenly lit up as he activated his first spirit ability, Phoenix Fire Line.

As a fellow fire-type Spirit Master, Ma Hongjun's flames had no effect on Yan.

However, his first spirit ability possessed both energy and physical attack attributes, capable of inflicting damage on fire-type Spirit Masters.

But Yan didn't take him seriously at all.

At the very moment he shot into the air, the first spirit ring on Yan's body lit up as well his first spirit ability, Infernal Magma Rush, was unleashed.

A scorching magma pillar directly collided with the Phoenix Fire Line, overwhelmingly suppressing it with even greater power.

Yan's speed was faster than Ma Hongjun's. The magma pillar struck the Evil Fire Phoenix with pinpoint accuracy, the immense energy shock directly shattering both wings of the Evil Fire Phoenix.

"Ah~"

Ma Hongjun let out a miserable scream in mid-air, his entire body plummeting downward.

But Yan didn't stop his attack. He rapidly dashed toward Ma Hongjun and delivered a powerful kick in mid-air, sending Ma Hongjun flying straight toward Shrek Academy's substitute bench.

Ma Hongjun crashed heavily in front of Flender and Yu Xiaogang, his qi and blood surging wildly within him. A mouthful of blood spewed out.

"Fatty! Are you alright?"

"It hurts... so much..."

Another pool of blood gushed from Ma Hongjun's mouth.

That scene had just happened far too quickly.

Even the red-robed bishops of Spirit Hall were left wide-eyed in astonishment.

Yan's wings weren't brought forth by his martial soul, nor were they formed by spirit power they were like Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, an external spirit bone.

Despite being in Spirit Hall for many years, they had never heard that Yan possessed an external spirit bone.

Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, and the others were also dumbfounded.

"Boss, this must be Brother Yan's trump card, right? He hid it so well, even we didn't know."

Xie Yue smiled and nodded.

He had been worried earlier about whether Yan could turn the tide while facing seven opponents alone. But now it seemed his concerns were unnecessary.

On the sidelines, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Feng Xiaotian were all stunned as well.

Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but exclaim,

"That guy is ridiculously strong. After spreading his wings, his speed isn't inferior to mine at all and I represent the wind attribute, the very embodiment of speed!"

Even though Tang San and the others had been mentally prepared, knowing Yan possessed flight capabilities, they were still shocked when Yan actually unfurled his blazing wings.

There was a gap of more than ten spirit power ranks between Ma Hongjun and Yan. He was no match at all and was defeated in just one exchange.

Yan landed on the ground.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing's first coordinated strike had missed. This time, they had to use another strategy.

Tang San exchanged a glance with Dai Mubai, then suddenly unfurled the remaining four Eight Spider Lances and charged toward Yan.

"If you've got the guts, don't dodge fight me in a duel!"

Yan understood Tang San's intention. He wanted to act as bait to give Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing a chance to unleash their powerful Spirit Fusion Technique.

But that played right into Yan's hands he wanted to end the battle quickly and free Xie Yue and the others from their agony.

Tang San's speed was extremely fast. In an instant, the Clear Sky Hammer had already condensed in his hand.

But Yan chose to ignore Tang San's provocation.

Only a fool would fall for a taunt.

"Whether or not I've got guts isn't for a little wimp like you to decide! You're already half-crippled, unworthy of being my opponent."

As Tang San launched his attack, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing moved in as well.

At this moment, the two had already completed their Spirit Fusion Technique: Nether White Tiger.

The massive Nether White Tiger leapt over Tang San's head, charging at Yan with unstoppable force.

Yan shot into the sky once more.

But this time, he didn't soar to the clouds.

At the moment he took off, the ten-thousand-year black ring on his body also lit up.

Immediately after, he turned his body, diving straight downward. Seizing the moment, he crashed down like a cannonball just as the Nether White Tiger landed.

"Boom—"

A thunderous explosion rocked the entire arena. A scorching heatwave blasted across everyone's faces.

All the spectators were shaken to the core.

The enormous Nether White Tiger had disappeared, leaving only dozens of cracks on the ground.

This arena had been specially reinforced—Spirit Masters below the Spirit Sage level weren't capable of damaging it.

Yet Yan's punch had cracked it.

What he had just used was his spirit skill with terrifying penetration his ten-thousand-year spirit ability, Frenzied Magma Fist.

That single punch shattered the Nether White Tiger, and the shockwave blasted Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing out of the arena in opposite directions.

Dai Mubai had taken on more of the force to protect Zhu Zhuqing, leaving the flesh on his back mangled.

He was even more miserable than Ma Hongjun—half of his face was destroyed.

His left ear was melted by magma, and part of his cheek and neck had also been scorched.

"Ah—!"

A miserable cry of agony erupted from Dai Mubai's mouth.

"Jiangzhu, quick! Heal Mubai!"

Seeing Dai Mubai's tragic state, Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb with fear.

The thing he had least wanted to see had still happened.

He never imagined Yan's attacks could be this horrifying.

On the field, only Tang San and Xiao Wu of Shrek's team still had fighting ability. Ning Rongrong and Oscar were like useless burdens.

Moreover, Tang San was already gravely injured, half-crippled.

There was no point in continuing this match.

Yu Xiaogang looked toward the smug-faced Bibi Dong, his eyes filled with tears.

He was full of regret, blaming himself for underestimating Yan's strength.

He slowly extended his right hand, just about to speak, when Tang San's voice rang out:

"Your attacks are too ruthless. I'll avenge my brothers! I won't lose to you!"

Yan had been fighting for a while and had used two spirit abilities in succession one of which was a ten-thousand-year skill.

Tang San guessed that Yan must have little spirit power left.

But then, something that filled him with despair happened.

Just as he unfurled the Eight Spider Lances and charged at Yan with the Clear Sky Hammer, the fourth spirit ring on Yan's body suddenly lit up.

"Little wimp, it's over!"

The fourth spirit ability, Blazing Flame Slash, activated.

A blazing wave of fire burst out instantly, sweeping toward Tang San with overwhelming momentum.

It was a wide-area, diffuse attack—impossible to dodge or defend against easily.

At the critical moment, Xiao Wu leapt forward, activating her fourth spirit ability—Invincible Golden Body.

"Perfect timing! But you think that alone can block me? Naïve!"

Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body could only last three seconds.

Meanwhile, Yan's Blazing Flame Slash had a continuous burning effect.

Xiao Wu's slender frame simply couldn't shield Tang San from that blow.

Tang San hurled his five-hundred-jin Clear Sky Hammer and used his remaining four spider legs to wrap himself and Xiao Wu inside.

But Tang San still underestimated Yan.

With the ability of flight, Yan could change tactics freely during battle.

He soared into the sky once more, easily evading the Clear Sky Hammer's shockwave.

Then he dived straight down again. Countless flame blades shot out from his wings like a meteor shower, firing at Tang San and Xiao Wu from all directions.

"Stop! Shrek Academy surrenders!"

Yu Xiaogang, sensing danger, shouted loudly.

But Yan's more terrifying attack had already begun.

He dove like a cannonball, smashing his searing magma fist onto the black orb surrounding Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Boom!"

With a deafening bang, the remaining four spider legs on Tang San's back exploded and flew apart.

"Ah~!"

A scream that echoed across the sky burst from Tang San's mouth, as if his flesh had been torn and all his meridians severed.

Compared to the physical pain, the mental blow was even worse.

Even after all that exertion, Yan could still fight in top form. There was only one possibility he was the thief who had stolen the Eight Petal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Delicate!

"Brother! Are you okay?"

"Xiao Wu, don't worry about me... just get out of here!"

Tang San pushed Xiao Wu away. He was afraid that if she got hurt, the aura of the spirit beast within her would be exposed.

"You're not going anywhere!"

Flames and gravel suddenly surged from all directions, trapping Xiao Wu in an instant.

Xiao Wu couldn't bear the heat and let out a scream.

"Tang San, quickly detoxify my teammates, or I'll roast her like a rabbit!"

"No—! Let her go! I'll do it! I'll help them!"

Tang San shouted with all his might.

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with greed.

"Yan, release her for now."

Yan looked over at Bibi Dong and saw that the two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with Sword Douluo Chen Xin, all had shocked expressions on their faces.

Clearly, Xiao Wu's spirit beast aura had already been exposed.
