Douluo: Becoming a God by Relying on my Enemies

Tang San's rigorous blacksmith training and recent body strengthening exercises had endowed him with an exceptionally robust physique. Despite years of suffering from a mysterious ailment, his physical strength remained. As Tang San tripped Kuang Xi, the massive force from his back sent Kuang Xi flying.

At that moment, the spider soul master made her move. Her millennium soul ring skill, lacking sufficient soul power, had faded, but she used her remaining strength to unleash a web of spider silk, enveloping Tang San as he steadied himself after throwing Kuang Xi.

Tang San frowned slightly. "You still won't give up?" This time, he made no effort to dodge, allowing the spider silk to encase him like a cocoon, wrapping him tightly in pink threads.

The spider soul master was elated and called out, "Quick, throw him off the stage, and we win!"

She quickly realized something was amiss when none of her teammates responded. Turning her head, she was shocked to find her teammates, drained of soul power, tightly bound by blue-purple Blue Silver Grass. Unable to resist its paralyzing toxin without soul power, they were rendered speechless.

Suddenly, the spider soul master felt a pang of foreboding. Before she could throw Tang San off the platform, he broke free from his bindings. A powerful suction force pulled her towards Tang San, and by the time she realized it, she was already face-to-face with him.

The spider soul master tried to resist, but her prior weakness left her unable to react. Tang San raised his right hand, gripping her throat to stop her from colliding with him due to the suction force. His eyes, glinting with a cold, sinister light, turned to the audience, as if to declare that he wasn't a coward or throwing the fight; he had simply encountered unexpected circumstances.

Feeling triumphant, Tang San gestured for silence to the audience, even glancing at Yun Feng with a look full of challenge.

Yun Feng noticed this and couldn't help but laugh. Although he hadn't planned to intervene, Tang San's arrogance stirred a desire to teach him a lesson. He began to cultivate, deciding to subtly influence the outcome.

Just as everyone thought the match was settled—with the Shrek team in control and the spider soul master subdued—Tang San suddenly weakened. His aura plummeted from Spirit Grandmaster, and he could no longer hold the spider soul master's throat, causing her to slip free.

Seeing Tang San's unexpected vulnerability, the spider soul master's eyes lit up with delight. Seizing the opportunity, she bound the now-helpless Tang San with her webs and tossed him to a furious Kuang Xi.

"Kuang Xi, he's all yours!"

Kuang Xi's eyes gleamed with excitement. Just as Tang San tried to concede, the webs silenced him. Watching this unfold, Yun Feng, having subtly interfered, saw Tang San's arrogance evaporate. Under Kuang Xi's enraged assault, Tang San became like a kite with a broken string, powerless against the onslaught.

Everyone watching was dumbfounded. Was Tang San acting? How could he fumble so close to victory?

Supervisor Ao and others were furious. Many had bet on the Kuang Zhan team's victory, and Shrek's unexpected turn had seemed like a sure win. Now, it had slipped away.

Yu Xiaogang, seeing his disciple in such a state, was anxious. He knew Tang San's father was Tang Hao and feared repercussions if anything happened to him. He rushed to declare, "We concede! The Shrek team concedes!"

Supervisor Ao, concerned about the arena's reputation, intervened, "Stop, the Shrek team has lost!"

Dai Mubai and the others were incredulous. With such an advantage, Tang San had ordered them off the stage, only to lose. How could they accept this? Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu, fiercely competitive, were visibly displeased, their brows furrowed.

As Supervisor Ao took the stage, Kuang Xi, now calm, disdainfully tossed Tang San aside. The battle was over. "Kuang Zhan team wins," Supervisor Ao announced with difficulty, casting a meaningful glance at Tang San's prone form, feeling a sense of loss.

The match concluded, leaving everyone with complicated feelings, especially the Shrek team. Their gazes toward Tang San were confused and disappointed. Tang San, unconscious and severely injured, was oblivious to their reactions. If he had seen them, he might have cried, as reality starkly contrasted with his expectations.

Intending to impress and win favor, Tang San had faced a major setback. Yun Feng, having watched the match, left the stands, ready for his own upcoming battle.
