Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

Chapter 76 Ye Sen's Shortcomings, Chen Zifeng, Sixth Grade (Third Update, Seeking First Subscription)

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Upon discovering Liu Mei's intentions, Ye Sen immediately activated his second soul skill, Earth Power.

As his cultivation reached the Soul Sect realm, the range of the earth's power expanded, and the earth-yellow light spread out, instantly encompassing Liu Mei's figure.

Ye Sen, as a weapon spirit master, is physically fragile. Liu Mei, as an elemental spirit master, is not much better off, and is even less so than Ye Sen.

After being affected by the power of the earth, her expression changed immediately. She felt that every move she made became extremely difficult, and she was unable to create a safe distance.

"not good!"

Liu Mei's expression changed.

As a core disciple of the fifth grade in Shrek Academy's outer court, Liu Mei has a wealth of combat experience.

Since she couldn't create a safe distance, she immediately decided not to retreat any further and focused all her efforts on controlling the mud and water to transform into various monsters that attacked Ye Sen.

Seeing this, Ye Sen swung the Haotian Hammer as he advanced.

"Bang bang bang—"

The mud-formed monster kept bursting open, and the highly toxic and corrosive mud immediately enveloped Ye Sen.

Seeing this, Ye Sen's expression turned solemn, but he did not dodge. Instead, he directly used the protective lightning of his third soul skill, the Azure Dragon, to withstand the attack.

"laugh----"

In the end, a few drops of muddy water still managed to break through the protective lightning barrier and land on Ye Sen.

The once intact clothing was instantly corroded, leaving a hole the size of a fingernail, through which a purple burn wound could be faintly seen.

As excruciating pain struck, Ye Sen unleashed his last bit of strength and, in a flash, finally reached Liu Mei's side.

Just as Ye Sen was about to raise the Haotian Hammer in his hand, she immediately said without hesitation, "I concede."

Under Liu Mei's control, the mud and water receded from the scene, and everyone could see that Ye Sen's shoes and socks had been completely corroded by the highly toxic mud and water, and his skin had developed wounds similar to those caused by burns.

"hiss----"

As the person involved, Ye Sen immediately gasped in shock.

Although he won this battle, the entire process was extremely difficult, and he was even unusually injured. It must be said that Liu Mei's abilities were extremely effective against him.

This also made him realize his own weaknesses.

Having only melee attacks makes one vulnerable to being countered, and against an opponent with abilities like Liu Mei, it's practically impossible to use one's full strength effectively.

On the other hand, the Soul Master's physical body is fragile. Although the Azure Dragon Power Soul Skill provides him with a certain degree of defense, it is ultimately an offensive Soul Skill that focuses on amplifying attack power, and the defense it can provide is extremely limited.

He needs a soul skill that can fully amplify his physical body, such as the White Tiger Vajra Transformation or White Tiger Demon God Transformation of the White Tiger Martial Soul, which would give him defensive power comparable to that of a Beast Soul Master.

However, the attributes of a Martial Soul affect the effects of Soul Rings and Soul Skills, and Soul Rings and Soul Skills primarily amplify the Martial Soul, rarely amplifying the Soul Master themselves. To break this pattern, it might be necessary to start with Soul Bones.

Because only the soul skills granted by the soul bone are not affected by the martial soul, and come entirely from the soul beast, they are already determined from the moment the soul bone is formed.

At Du Weilen's command, two teachers from the foreign language department immediately stepped forward.

Both were support-type Soul Masters, both at the Soul Emperor level. One healed Ye Sen's wounds, while the other restored his soul power. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he was fully recovered.

Ye Sen has now won four consecutive matches. He only needs to defeat one more core disciple from the sixth grade to achieve the feat of skipping directly from the first grade to the sixth grade.

The last core disciple, dressed in a black school uniform, stepped out.

This person was of medium build, neither too strong nor too thin, with a very well-proportioned physique. He was also quite handsome, and often wore a warm smile.

As soon as this person entered the arena, his gaze was fixed on Ye Sen, and he asked, "You just used the power of will, the Hammer Intent, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen raised an eyebrow in surprise.

In the outer courtyard, there are actually people who understand the power of will?

While Ye Sen was surprised, the man continued to say to himself, "Recently, I have also been researching how to condense the power of will into sword intent, but I have not succeeded yet. So far, I am only vaguely touching the threshold."

"And you've mastered the hammer's intent at this age. To be honest, you're very talented, much better than me." As he spoke, undisguised admiration appeared in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen's expression turned strange, but he still nodded and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

The man said, "Then let's begin."

"My name is Chen Zifeng, my martial spirit is the Soul Chasing Sword, I am a sixth-grade student, and I am a level 47 Power Attack-type Weapon Soul Master."

Ye Sen's expression shifted. It turned out that he was Chen Zifeng, one of the main members representing Shrek Academy in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

However, he was seriously injured in the corpse explosion of the Grim Reaper and unfortunately missed this precious opportunity to make a name for himself on the continent.

Level 47. This was the only opponent Ye Sen faced today with higher soul power than himself. And not just by a little, but by a full five levels of soul power.

"Keng"6

A crisp, cold sword cry rang out, and Chen Zifeng's eyes suddenly turned blood red. As a blood-red longsword appeared in front of him, a terrifying aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood immediately spread outwards.

Yellow and purple, the standard best soul rings.

Seeing this, Ye Sen immediately summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.

Chen Zifeng suddenly suggested, "How about we have a duel of wills?"

Ye Sen immediately understood what the other party meant and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zifeng showed gratitude and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you."

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, neither of them used their soul skills. Instead, they clashed together in the simplest and most straightforward way, with a hammer and a sword clashing together.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The only person who truly understood what was happening was Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Soul Department of the Outer Academy.

Their attacks appeared to be simple, ordinary strikes, but in reality, they were far from simple. Each attack contained the essence, energy, and spirit of its user.

However, Ye Sen's essence, energy, and spirit have perfectly merged, reaching another level.

Chen Zifeng was clearly much weaker, and there was a significant gap between him and Ye Sen in terms of skill level.

As expected, Chen Zifeng suffered a crushing defeat.

Ye Sen put away the Haotian Hammer, his face calm, as if he had known this outcome all along.

In fact, he did know that the moment Chen Zifeng proposed a battle of pure will, he had already considered this outcome, which is why he agreed so readily.

Did Chen Zifeng, the proposer, know he would lose?

Of course I know that.

However, compared to a win or loss that was insignificant to him, he was more interested in witnessing Ye Sen's hammer intent. Perhaps it could provide him with the crucial inspiration to make the final push and help him comprehend his own unique sword intent.
