Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Soon, the match began, and Mu Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, perked up.

He wanted to see what Tang San, whose Blue Silver Grass spirit, which followed the control route, would use to deal with Huo Wushuang, since he had lost his fire immunity and his spirit power level was seventeen levels lower.

"Will he pull out a giant sledgehammer?"

Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

He simply couldn't think of any other means that Tang San, who was prohibited from using hidden weapons in the arena, could pose a threat to Huo Wushuang, except for taking out the Clear Sky Hammer and using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

Of course, this possibility is unlikely.

After all, Tang Hao had recently pulled off a major attack, not only eliminating Platinum Bishop Salas but also destroying the Heaven Dou Temple, which represented the Spirit Hall's prestige. If Tang San were to reveal his Clear Sky Hammer spirit, it would be extremely offensive.

Come on~!

Huo Wushuang beckoned to Tang San with his claws.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San lightly touched the ground with his feet and unleashed his movement technique, Ghost Shadow Tracking. With afterimages left behind, he rushed towards Huo Wushuang like a ghost.

Huo Wushuang, displaying the demeanor of a master, only activated his second soul skill: Crimson Flame Crystal Shield, then crossed his arms and quietly watched to see if Tang San could put on an outstanding performance.

"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides closed to more than ten meters. Tang San's expression hardened, his first spirit ring shone brightly, and several blue silver vines resembling spirit pythons instantly grew from the blue silver grass on his right palm, sweeping towards Huo Wushuang.

Tang San: Eat my own mother's embrace!

Seeing that Tang San was displaying the number one soul skill in a century, rather than some trump card, Huo Wushuang immediately felt bored.

Sure enough, trump cards aren't something every opponent has. They're all young, so it's normal that they don't have any hidden cards up their sleeves.

However, just as Huo Wushuang was about to finish off Tang San, a sudden and intense fluctuation of soul power emanated, and a brilliant earthy yellow light appeared on Tang San's left arm.

"Soul Bone Skill: Earth Dragon's Roar!"

With the consumption of a large amount of soul power, a phantom of a yellowish-brown earth dragon with short forelimbs and thick hind limbs, resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, suddenly appeared in mid-air behind Tang San. Then, its huge mouth opened, and the roaring sound waves that distorted the air instantly spread out.

The 60,000-year-old Earth Dragon's left arm soul bone skill: Earth Dragon Roar, a control-type soul bone skill that forcibly stuns all opponents within the skill's range. The duration of the stun effect depends on the strength of both sides' mental power.

"roar--"

With a deafening roar, the sonic wave emanated from Tang San and instantly enveloped an area of ​​over seventy meters. Caught off guard, Huo Wushuang, and even the spectators closer to the arena, were momentarily stunned, their minds going blank.

At the same time, the blue silver vines derived from the entangling soul skill released earlier have now wrapped around Huo Wushuang, giving the audience a rope art performance.

The next moment, Tang San stepped on the ground, twisted his body, and used his legs to drive his waist, and his waist to drive his arms. His right arm swung violently like a meteor hammer, throwing Huo Wushuang, who was bound by the other end of the blue silver vines, out of the arena.

From the previous two matches between Huo Wushuang and Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai, Tang San could see that, perhaps because he felt confident of victory, Huo Wushuang did not have the habit of instantly defeating his opponents at the start of the match.

Huo Wushuang's habit provided him with the foundation for implementing unique tactics.

Tang San's tactics were simple: close the distance between the two sides at the start and unleash his first soul skill, Entanglement.

With Huo Wushuang's strength at the fifth ring level and his status as a fire-attribute soul master, this soul skill itself does not pose much of a threat. Huo Wushuang most likely will not set the Blue Silver Vine on fire the moment he releases the soul skill, but will wait until it is about to hit him, or even after he is bound, before releasing the flames to burn the Blue Silver Vine.

As long as Huo Wushuang didn't burn the vines the moment he released his soul skill, he used the Earth Dragon Roar Soul Bone Skill, which was 60,000 years old, to stun Huo Wushuang. Then, taking advantage of this opening, he used the Blue Silver Vines as the rope of the "Humanoid Meteor Hammer" to throw the temporarily stunned Huo Wushuang off the field.

In this way, he could accomplish something almost impossible: defeat Huo Wushuang, whose martial soul was powerful and whose level was as high as the fifth ring, with his own strength as a level 42 Blue Silver Grass Soul Master!

As for why not use the Earth Dragon Roar Soul Bone Skill first, and then release the Entangling Soul Skill?

Tang San considered that Huo Wushuang's soul power level was far higher than his own, and that his fourth soul ring was also ten thousand years old, so his spiritual power was probably even greater than his own.

Because Earth Dragon Roar is a large-area control soul bone skill, its stun effect on single targets is not very strong. Tang San was worried that he wouldn't be able to control Huo Wushuang, who had considerable mental strength, for long, so he adjusted the release order of the two skills to achieve a seamless connection as much as possible.

As it turned out, his tactics were feasible and not just wishful thinking.

Although this tactic is basically only effective the first time it is used, and the Blazing Fire team will send Fire Dancer to the field later, he certainly won't be able to use it a second time, but that doesn't matter.

Looking at the dozen or so teams in the qualifying rounds, which team could possibly bring the Blazing Fire team down to just one player? Apart from the Heavenly Water team, which has two Soul Kings, Tang San didn't think any other team had that possibility.

Regardless of whether his tactics were dirty or not, and regardless of whether the Blazing Fire team threw the game earlier, a win is a win, and a loss is a loss; the results of the match are all real.

With his strength as a newcomer to the fourth ring, Tang San was able to defeat Huo Wushuang, a high-level fifth ring cultivator, in less than ten seconds. He was definitely the most outstanding player in the Heaven Dou Division's qualifying round of this Soul Master Competition!

Protector Tang: Hehehe—

However, did Tang San's tactics really succeed?

The tactic was indeed successfully executed, but it also failed to meet Tang San's expectations.

Just as he was about to be thrown off the field, Huo Wushuang managed to shake off the dizziness and regain consciousness.

Before being forcibly stunned by the Earth Dragon Roar Soul Bone Skill, Huo Wushuang witnessed the appearance of the Earth Dragon's phantom and knew that it must be Tang San's hidden trump card.

Therefore, after breaking free from the dizziness, Huo Wushuang immediately realized his current unfavorable situation.

"Third Soul Skill, Crimson Flame Divine Dragon Transformation!"

Without hesitation, Huo Wushuang's third soul ring shone brightly, his muscles swelled, and his aura surged. At the same time, a pair of dragon wings covered with fine red crystal scales suddenly appeared on his back.

Then, with a flap of its dragon wings, Huo Wushuang, who was less than two meters from the ground outside the arena, soared into the air and flew back into the arena, seemingly about to be eliminated.

"What?!"

Looking at Huo Wushuang returning to the arena, Tang San's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"How did you break free from control so quickly?"

After a long while, Tang San came to his senses and asked with a bitter expression. (End of Chapter)
