Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 324 Elder Xuan: Tang San is indeed stronger than Huo Yuhao!

"Both parties share the same name."

"Haotian Sect, Tang Hong."

"Shrek, the Evil Moon."

Seeing the mocking smile on Tang Hong's lips, like a cat playing with a mouse, Xie Huan Yue instinctively frowned, secretly on guard.

Although he successfully won a match, his cultivation level was still only that of a Soul King, which was far behind that of a Soul Emperor, who had already stepped into the threshold of a high-level Soul Master.

In addition, the contestants from the Clear Sky Sect were also professionally trained and were not the kind of subpar contestants whose soul ring coloring could not even reach the best level. After a battle, his soul power was actually consumed by more than half, and he did not win as easily as he appeared on the surface.

Upon realizing that he might not be able to defeat his second opponent, Xie Huanyue immediately changed his strategy.

At the start of the match, he adopted a more conservative defensive stance, seemingly wanting to deplete his opponent's soul power as much as possible to create opportunities for his teammates.

However, everything Xie Huanyue did seemed like a rare and humorous farce to Tang Hong, making him laugh.

"You only won one game by luck. Did you really think you could hold me off?"

He slightly clenched his fist, and a jet-black hammer quietly materialized in his palm. The instant the hammer was fully formed, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and shot towards Xie Huanyue like an arrow.

"For thousands of years, the world has long forgotten the former glory of the Haotian Sect. Today, let us begin with you, and let the fame of the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian resound throughout the continent once more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hong's fourth and fifth spirit rings suddenly lit up, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand also burst out with a large amount of dark light. The strong energy fluctuations even caused the surrounding air to distort.

Seeing his opponent use a ten-thousand-year soul skill right from the start, Xie Huanyue's expression changed slightly, and he immediately released his fourth and fifth soul skills in succession without hesitation.

Like mist, like skin.

The former will cover his body with a thin layer of misty gray energy. Once he comes into contact with his opponent, this misty energy will attach to his body in reverse, producing a binding effect similar to Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Domain, which makes the opponent sink into the mud.

While not as convenient as a domain, it can restrict the opponent's movements while also increasing its own defense and the opponent's soul power consumption.

Without a doubt, this is an absolutely top-tier, super-powerful soul skill for a defensive soul master.

As Xie Huan Yue's only ten-thousand-year soul skill, Elephant Skin's effects are equally exaggerated.

It can gelatinize the surface of Xie Huanyue's body, further enhancing its ability to absorb force, while also reflecting the force it receives back to its opponent immediately.

In terms of effect alone, his soul skill is more powerful than Lu Genggeng's, who relies on body fat to deflect force, since the latter can only deflect force but does not have the effect of rebound.

It was precisely with this powerful soul skill that he was able to break through his opponent's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in the previous round and win the final victory by relying on the force of the rebound.

But for some reason, despite the similarity of the attack, Tang Hong's swing of the hammer sent a strong sense of alarm through Xie Huanyue's heart.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided to trust his intuition and activated the invincible shield he was carrying.

"Why did the shield suddenly activate? Didn't Xie Huan Yue withstand a similar attack before?"

Seeing the pale golden shield that instantly unfolded and enveloped the Evil Illusion Moon, Xiao Xiao, who was in the rest area of ​​the Spirit Pagoda, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Although the invincible shield has strong defensive capabilities, it consumes soul power to withstand attacks.

Given that every bit of soul power needs to be carefully calculated, Xie Huanyue's extravagant activation of the protective shield is hardly a wise move.

Logically speaking, this chubby guy has been studying at Shrek Academy for so long, he shouldn't be so lacking in experience.

But soon, a clear voice answered her question.

"Xie Huanyue made the right choice."

Looking at Tang Hong on the arena, Wang Dong'er explained with a solemn expression.

"Tang Hong is using the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian. If he doesn't activate his protective shield, he might be seriously injured or even have his life in danger."

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "What are those things?"

Not only Xiao Xiao, but also Qiu'er and Gu Yuena, who were not interested, all the people in the rest area turned their attention to Wang Dong'er.

"The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian were created by the ancestors of the Haotian Sect ten thousand years ago. They are secret techniques that are paired with the Haotian Hammer. Because there are nine of these techniques, they are called the Nine Absolute Techniques."

"What Tang Hong is using right now is the 'Penetration' technique from the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian. Its characteristic is the combination of movement and stillness, penetrating the surface from a point. Simply put, it allows the force contained in the Haotian Hammer to penetrate the opponent's surface defense and explode within their body. It is particularly effective against beings like Xie Huanyue who rely on surface defense."

Just as Wang Dong'er was explaining, Tang Hong's Haotian Hammer landed solidly on the thin golden shield.

There was no exaggerated airflow, no loud noise.

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the surface of the protective shield only rippled slightly, but Xie Huanyue inside was thrown out completely.

During the process, the gelatinous skin on his body surface also rippled uncontrollably due to the terrifying force that was raging everywhere.

This is the source of the Haotian Sect's confidence in looking down on soul tools. Even an invincible shield cannot play much of a role in front of their Haotian Nine Absolutes.

It's easy to imagine that if it had been any other member of the Shrek team who had taken that hit, they would probably have been seriously injured by the raging force.

Of course, this doesn't mean the shield is completely useless.

At least this thing caused the force that would have erupted inside Xie Huanyue's body to land on his extremely defensive skin, preventing his entire skeleton from being shattered.

This is actually a good indicator of the difference between Xie Huanyue and Lu Genggeng.

Although both of them can deflect attacks that land on their skin, the former relies on the special abilities of their own skin, making them easier to counter with the "penetrating" technique.

Lu Genggeng, whose defense is seamless, doesn't have this problem. After all, even if the force enters his body, it will be quickly neutralized by his fat, causing no harm whatsoever.

Of course, the Haotian Sect also has other ways to deal with someone like Lu Genggeng.

"Tsk"

Seeing that Xie Huanyue had actually reacted at the crucial moment, Tang Hong clicked his tongue in slight displeasure, casually hoisted the hammer onto his shoulder, and stopped paying attention to Xie Huanyue, instead turning his head to look at the Shrek Academy's waiting area.

Looking at Beibei's gloomy face, a contemptuous smile crept onto his lips.

"Aren't you going to concede defeat for your team? Do you want me to give you another whack?"

"Damn, this guy's a real liar, I'll take over."

Zhou Sichen stood up cursing, but before he could finish speaking, a large hand landed on his shoulder, pressing him back into his seat.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Sanshi staring intently at Tang Hong on the stage, his lips slowly opening and closing, uttering two simple words.

"I'll do it."

Compared to the somber atmosphere in the Shrek waiting area, the two elderly men sitting in the stands were more excited than ever before.

"Elder Xuan, you were right all along!"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes were full of surprise, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists due to his inner excitement.

"This Haotian Hammer paired with the Haotian Nine Absolute Techniques is like adding wings to a tiger!"

What a magnificent Haotian Hammer! What a brilliant secret technique of the Haotian Sect!

He had given up hope of the so-called secret techniques of the Haotian Sect, but Tang Hong gave him a big surprise.

As expected of the number one sect on the continent ten thousand years ago, and as expected of the number one weapon spirit on the continent!

Imagine if an ordinary contestant can demonstrate such powerful strength with the Haotian Nine Absolutes, then how powerful must Tang San, their captain, be?

With his disciple's astonishing comprehension, he has probably far surpassed other geniuses of the same age and has completely comprehended the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and the Great Sumeru Hammer, right?

God willing.

This is destiny!

In a daze, he seemed to see a new star rising, comparable to his ancestor Tang San.

The glory created by the Tang ancestors ten thousand years ago will eventually be recreated in his students!

Hearing Yan Shaozhe's heartfelt praise, Elder Xuan calmly grabbed his wine gourd and rewarded himself with a mouthful of strong liquor.

Although he didn't speak, the upturned corners of his mouth clearly revealed the old man's smugness.

As the spicy liquor slid down his throat, Elder Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of relief and triumph after a long and difficult time.

"Yes, my choice back then was right."

correct.

His decision to resolutely choose Tang San despite everything was not wrong!

He said this not only because Huo Yuhao was an undercover agent sent by Ye Xishui, but also because he had foreseen the future achievements of the two of them.

Tang San may still be quite different from Huo Yuhao at present, but he is steady and pragmatic, and his future achievements can be described as immeasurable.

On the contrary, Huo Yuhao's strength seems to have become so exaggerated in just a few years that it seems unbelievable, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this achievement could not possibly have been accomplished through normal means.

Considering this kid's identity as an evil soul master, he must have secretly used evil soul master methods to improve himself over the years!

It's even possible that Huo Yuhao was able to defeat Tang San in the freshman assessment because he secretly used the abilities of an evil soul master!

Everyone else is drunk, but I am the only one sober!

At this moment, Elder Xuan felt as if his heart had been elevated.

Yes, good has always triumphed over evil.

Huo Yuhao's cultivation and strength were ultimately nothing more than some unorthodox and opportunistic methods.

Even if his rate of progress is astonishing, his future potential and achievements are already completely locked in.

Given time, Tang San will definitely be able to surpass his opponent!
