--- Chapter 255 ---

"What is this?!"

The entire stage suddenly was shaken because silver vines like enormous ocean waves surged out of the ground.

Kaguya felt the silver grass, or more precisely, every single strand of vegetation connected to her. She's their ruler with almost endless strength from nature itself.

"This power." Kaguya slowly moved her gaze to the black-haired teenager, who reminded her of a baby in Ah Yin's memory.

She pointed her finger and indifferently asked, "You're Tang San?"

Tang San was obviously confused because he had never met this person, but she knew his name for some reason.

Not only did she overrun his blue silver grass control, everything about her is weird.

'I couldn't read her at all.' Tang San thought while drawing out his hidden weapon.

He looked at his dazed teammate and snapped them back to reality with a slight mental shock. "Wake up." Tang San solemnly said.

As the other Shrek seven devils realized the current situation, Tang San looked back at Kaguya.

"How did you know my name?" He asked.

"Me?" Kaguya tilted her head. "I know your mother."

"She's in here." She naturally continued while hugging herself, making Tang San frown. "I absorbed her."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang San coldly responded. "I've never met someone like you in my life."

"I see..." Kaguya glanced down for a few moments.

"Then kneel."

"Huh?" Tang San abruptly felt spiritual energy wash through his body. It was a burden because he weirdly couldn't utilize his purple demon eyes.

Ma Xiaotao plunged herself forward and launched a fiery punch onto Kaguya's face.

However, like a bodyguard, a few strands of blue silver grass turned into a shield for Kaguya.

BAM!

"Ascension!" Ma Xiaotao's eyes flared with phoenix flames.

BOOM!

A flame phoenix exploded out of the floor and attacked Kaguya from the bottom.

Ma Xiaotao was about to retreat, but Kaguya's action caused her eyes to widen in surprise.

"Not warm enough." Kaguya lightly kicked the phoenix flame to Ma Xiaotao.

Bam!

Cough!

Ma Xiaotao received her phoenix flame on the stomach and pushed away.

Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu swiftly appeared on Kaguya's side, attacking her simultaneously.

"White Tiger LightWave." Dai Mubai unleashed an intense light wave from his mouth.

Xiao Wu locked Kaguya's neck and rotated her body in the air. "Eight-," She whispered.

Kaguya's eyes turned into byakugan, and her hand instantly reached over Xiao Wu's chest.

"Gentle Fist." She blasted Xiao Wu away.

Bam!

"Ack. My body." Xiao Wu felt her entire body become numb.

Dai Mubai's attack landed on Kaguya and miserably failed to even cause a scratch on her.

Even without her rinnegan, Kaguya could easily absorb any elemental energy, which means Dai Mubai's light-based attack became useless.

"Your attack is useless, so better use your physical attack against me," Kaguya commented while looking at the incoming kunai.

Dai Mubai raised his guard by activating physical enhancement, but it's useless.

"Slow." Kaguya strikes Dai Mubai's chest with her gentle fist.

Cough!

Dai Mubai coughed blood because his body was slightly destroyed from inside. If Kaguya was not holding her strength back, he could have died already right now.

"Xiao Wu, Boss Dai!" Tang San rushed forward.

A few poison-coated hidden weapons were flying toward Kaguya, causing a silver grass shield to protect her again without fail.

Tang San couldn't properly use his blue silver grass martial soul, and he knew why.

"Martial soul, or bloodline suppression." He gritted his teeth slightly because not even his body worked naturally like usual.

Even though Tang San assumed something like that, he was wrong because his body declined because of poison.

Kaguya had never tried to suppress any of them. She only countered them with simple martial arts from her world.

"Are we gonna lose here," Tang San muttered while looking at the ground.

"No."

"That can't be..."

"We will win this." Tang San brought out his eight spider lance, which surprisingly healed back a few months ago.

"Ah yes, the protagonist power-up," Yunlong casually commented.

"How classic." He added while eating snacks he got from Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong shook her head and playfully questioned, "You seem to know this little guy more than I am, Yunlong?"

"Not really." Yunlong smiled.

As if Yunlong had never met Tang San in his entire life, he calmly moved his gaze to Yu Xiaogang, the grandmaster.

Yu Xiaogang sincerely prayed for his student's victory in this match. They only need to win this match, and Shrek's influence will spread on this continent.

Not only this will prove Yu Xiaogang's study to improve one's martial soul. He also won't be shamed anymore because of his trash martial soul.

"Heh, what an ambitious man," Yunlong observed Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with hope. "We haven't brought his crime to the public yet, right?"

Bibi Dong nodded and replied, "Yes."

Yunlong looked back at the stage and said, "Well, it's about time."

As Tang San used his external spirit bones, every Shrek seven devils quickly gathered around him. They glanced at each other and nodded their heads simultaneously.

The plan started with Oscar swiftly throwing some items at his teammate. They took a bite of Oscar's enhancing foods and increased their strength.

Ma Xiaotao and Ma Hongjun activated their evil phoenix martial souls, burning the entire stage with searing flame.

"Hongjun. Set your heart on fire." Ma Xiaotao warned, to which her brother responded with a nod.

Ciao!

An evil phoenix bathed in black flame emerged, and a slender version of Ma Hongjun appeared on the stage.

"Oh, finally! I can use this form again." Ma Hongjun shouted, which caused Oscar to release an annoyed grunt.

"Don't waste your time on talking, and focus on your task, fatty!" Oscar complained.

Ma Hongjun sneered and quickly manipulated dark flames around them into a fiery spear. "Sorry, beautiful." He smirked while launching his attack at Kaguya.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions happened on the stage because of Ma Hongjun's attack, making a cloud of debris fly around.

Tang San's shadow flickered inside the cloud and masterfully threw different kinds of hidden weapons at Kaguya.

Ning Rongrong enhanced the entire team's strength with her spirit skill. She pulled her newly evolved martial soul and cast spiritual enhancement for Tang San.

Tang San finally could use his purple demon eyes, but his movement staggered immediately when a pair of pale white eyes stared at him.

Not only Tang San, but the entire arena suddenly became cold for some reason.

A white silhouette walked out from the cloud of dust and calmly stood in front of Tang San.

"Knell," Kaguya said.
