The mental impact of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye pierced directly into their brains, causing a backlash of Soul Power. That was right, the seven members of Canghui Academy wouldn't die, but they had all become idiots. Damage to certain nerves meant they would never recover. Even the best Healing Type Soul Master would be utterly helpless against the brain, such a delicately intricate organ.
Tang San had never been a kind person, and he was certainly not as ordinary as he appeared on the surface. The Tang Sect itself was somewhere between righteous and sinister. When facing an enemy who could threaten his own life, showing mercy would only plunge himself into danger.
From the moment he saw the opponents' Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique to the moment they launched their attack, notifying his teammates of the countermeasure and defeating all seven opponents—all of this happened in the span of a lightning strike. A thunderous, precise blow. The decisiveness and ruthlessness fully revealed the Asura Heart hidden beneath Tang San's ordinary exterior.
It was precisely because of this that Dai Mubai had called Tang San ruthless. Among everyone present, he possessed the strongest strength, and at that time, besides Tang San himself, he was the least affected. Thus, he had vaguely guessed what Tang San had done. For this companion, even the Evil-Eyed White Tiger's heart now held a few more degrees of awe.
The first to voice support for Tang San was actually Ma Hongjun. The fatso held one of Huang Yuan and Jing Ling under each arm. "Third Brother, I support you. Showing mercy to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."
The gazes of the Shrek Seven Devils converged on a single point. No one raised any further objections. Although Tang San's explanation was simple, the brotherhood between them was unmistakably clear. They had all considered the same question: if Canghui Academy's people had won, would they have shown them any mercy?
Walking back to the rest area, hundreds of gazes landed almost simultaneously on the members of Shrek Academy's team. When someone outside had shouted the words "Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique," the participating students in this rest area had rushed out to watch. They naturally saw the final outcome.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy saw it. Feng Xiaotian of God Wind Academy naturally saw it as well.
The match hadn't lasted long, and no one had seen exactly how Shrek Academy had won, but they had all seen the result.
Not everyone possessed the discerning eye of the Great Master or Ning Fengzhi. The shock delivered by the Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique to every participating student was beyond words. Yet, Canghui Academy had still lost. After using the Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique, they had still lost. Furthermore, they had clearly seen that during the process of Canghui Academy activating their fusion technique, Shrek Academy's team hadn't even moved on the arena, allowing them to gather their power.
Although in the end only Tang San stood on the arena, the fact that Shrek Academy had defeated Canghui Academy's Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique was very hard for these participating students from the various academies to accept. Especially Huo Wu.
Looking at Tang San, who walked with slightly unsteady steps, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart. Heavens, that was a Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique. It still couldn't defeat them? This Tang San was too monstrous. Was he really under twenty-five?
Originally, he had been brimming with confidence, certain that Huo Wu would become his girlfriend this time. But after witnessing that battle outside just now, his confidence had completely vanished. He stared at Tang San, momentarily lost in thought.
Tang San signaled Ma Hongjun and the other three to place their "heavily injured" companions to the side and had Jiang Zhu activate her healing staff. He then turned to face the hundreds of gazes and calmly spoke just one sentence.
"You don't need to look at me like that. That was not a Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
Ignoring the stunned stares, Tang San sat down beside his companions and closed his eyes to rest.
Though it was just a simple explanation, it also pulled him back from the realm of gods into the category of normal people. Many felt a long breath of relief.
Just then, the Great Master, Liu Erlong, and Flandre arrived. After Tang San exchanged a few whispered words with the Great Master, they supported each other and quickly left the rest area.
Watching their departing backs, the numerous participating students immediately began to buzz with discussion. They were all willing to believe Tang San's explanation. After all, defeating a Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique with a similar level difference was simply impossible. Moreover, that Seven-as-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique was a powerful divine skill said to exist only in legends.
The audience had received a visual feast, but today's match had also caused those with keen minds to entertain various different thoughts. All the various powers were pondering how Shrek Academy's team had achieved victory today.
Soon, news came from Canghui Academy: all seven of their participating members had lost their ability to think and had become idiots. Furthermore, they had filed a formal protest with the Tournament Committee, demanding severe punishment for Shrek Academy.
As a result, a special investigative team jointly established by the Tian Dou Empire and Spirit Hall was formed to investigate both sides. Simultaneously, the Martial Soul Holy Hall in Tian Dou City dispatched two Soul Saint-level Healing Type Soul Masters to provide specialized treatment for the seven members of Canghui Academy.
But just as Tang San had predicted, the brain was the most intricately constructed part of the human body, something that could not be restored by simple healing soul skills. The mysteries of the mental realm had never been truly deciphered by anyone to this day. Spirit Hall's treatment was naturally futile.
