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

Chapter 333 Tang San Goes All Out (Part 2)

"Now, it's time to settle the score!"

With the support of that powerful soul force, Tang San's voice boomed in the audience's ears like muffled thunder.

Even the aura of a Title Douluo-level expert easily broke through the arena barrier under his deliberate indulgence, just like the nameless ballad sung by Huo Yuhao's mermaid soul, which made the hearts of the weaker spectators outside the arena sink.

It felt like a huge rock was pressing on my chest, making it hard to breathe.

Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the powerful figure on the stage, their faces filled with disbelief.

"No wonder the Haotian Sect was unwilling to give up the competition so easily; they had such a terrifying trump card up their sleeve."

"Tang San isn't stupid. Huo Yuhao made a name for himself in one battle five years ago. Why would he take the initiative to challenge him if he didn't have some trump cards? This move was probably prepared specifically for this moment, right?"

"It's truly unbelievable that we'd one day witness a battle at the Title Douluo level in the Soul Master Competition. I feel that Huo Yuhao might be overestimating himself."

No one expected that after the appearances of Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, this tournament would see another powerhouse comparable to a Title Douluo.

Unlike Huo Yuhao and the captain of the Holy Spirit Cult, who were only comparable to Title Douluos in terms of combat strength, Tang San at this moment had clearly reached the realm that most Soul Masters dreamed of.

Although he was forcibly enhanced through a special secret method and did not have a matching soul ring, the sheer amount of soul power fluctuation that even the judges were wary of made everyone have no doubt that he was qualified to rival Huo Yuhao.

After all, five years ago, Huo Yuhao also relied on a secret technique that allowed him to briefly unleash his full power to barely defeat the Soul Douluo.

Although there is only one rank difference between a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo, the gap between them is enormous, and it is not easy to break through to the next level.

Even if Huo Yuhao has improved significantly in the past five years, his strength is probably only around that of a Title Douluo.

With that thought in mind, everyone's gazes unconsciously fell on the white-haired figure on the arena, trying to find some unexpected reaction on that face.

To their disappointment, Huo Yuhao remained expressionless, showing neither the solemnity of facing a formidable enemy nor the panic of things spiraling out of control. He simply watched Tang San's performance like a spectator.

"If I remember correctly, you were also a participant in the Haotian Sect incident."

Tilting his head as if in confusion, Huo Yuhao asked softly, "No matter what, you shouldn't think you can deal with me with just these things, right?"

Tang San's expression turned cold: "Whether we can handle it or not, we'll have to try and see."

He knew, of course, that Huo Yuhao possessed strength comparable to Titan, but he also knew very well that this was a level that this guy could only reach in a short time through some special means.

Just as he had considered before, if Huo Yuhao was really that strong, how could he have only killed one Titan back in the Haotian Sect?

Perhaps it was the power bestowed upon him by those damned original sin gods in his previous life, or perhaps it was through some other means—none of that matters. All he needs to know is that Huo Yuhao has not yet become a god.

As long as he hasn't truly broken through the limits of this world and completed a leap in life, I still have a chance!

However, the next second, as Huo Yuhao took a step forward from not far away, that breathtakingly beautiful face appeared in front of him without warning.

Unlike the explosive speed that Long Aotian displayed in the previous match, his movements looked relaxed and effortless, as if he had skipped the sprint process and directly presented the result of "reaching the destination" to everyone.

Like a flickering ghost.

However, this is indeed the case; Huo Yuhao's ability to reach this level was not due to his own speed.

Rather, it is the power of space.

After completing the soul ritual with the Sea Princess and Liya in the Ice Sea, he gained a preliminary grasp of spatial power during the process of condensing his first soul core.

Although he is still somewhat inferior to powerful beings like the Beast God Emperor Tian who possess a spatial soul core, it is enough for him to perform some simple applications.

For example, short-distance teleportation, or isolating a small area of ​​space like Gu Yuena.

Of course, compared to her method of temporarily separating the entire room from the original world, Huo Yuhao's method can only be considered a spatial blockade at best.

But all of that is in the past for him now.

As early as a few days ago, when he completed the soul ritual with the Snow Emperor, the spatial power he controlled was further enhanced.

In terms of mastery of spatial power, he might be somewhat inferior to Gu Yuena, but he is definitely superior to Di Tian.

As for how these improvements came about, they are entirely thanks to Xue Di.

In order to maximize the enhancement of the fusion, with the help of Gu Yuena, this king of the far north, like Di Tian, ​​successfully condensed a second soul core with complementary Yin and Yang attributes of spatial properties.

If Di Tian's Yin-Yang complementary soul core is a combination of darkness and space attributes, then hers is a combination of ice and snow and space.

Thanks to the effect of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, these two Soul Cores were like two additional power sources with amplification functions attached to Huo Yuhao.

Although they couldn't link with that spiritual attribute soul core, they brought him unimaginable improvements in the two major domains of space and extreme ice.

First, there's the power of space. Now, as long as Huo Yuhao has determined the approximate coordinates, he can teleport over extremely long distances just like Di Tian in his previous life. He can even temporarily evade attacks by entering spatial rifts.

Secondly, there is the Ice and Snow Soul Core, which not only amplifies the power of those ice-attribute soul skills, but also endows these soul skills with spatial attribute characteristics through the yin-yang complementary effect with the spatial attribute soul core.

Just like in his previous life, after Huo Yuhao condensed a Yin-Yang complementary soul core, all his soul skills possessed both spiritual power and the characteristics of extreme ice. Now, all of his ice-attribute soul skills also possess the characteristics of extreme ice and space, and their destructive power is vastly different.

Thanks to the Titan soul he possessed, his spiritual sea underwent a significant transformation, which also greatly enhanced his spiritual power.

Furthermore, the soul skills bestowed by several spirit-attribute spirits were much stronger than those of the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, so for a long time, the combat power of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul was stronger than that of the Ice Emperor.

Since acquiring these two soul cores, the situation has finally changed. Now, the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, while not exactly taking the lead, has at least reached a level of combat power on par with the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

It's no exaggeration to say that even without the blessing of Xue Di's divine official cultivation, Huo Yuhao could have defeated Titan back then without using his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, simply by relying on the boost from the two external soul cores.

To confront each other head-on.

In fact, Xue Di originally planned to condense a second soul core with a spiritual attribute. If the plan succeeded, Huo Yuhao would have two soul cores with a spiritual attribute.

The power of the Spirit Eye's soul skill will also be amplified to an extremely exaggerated level.

However, since she herself was not good at mental power, the soul core she condensed might be very weak, so she regretfully gave up.

The power of space is different. At her and Di Tian's level, they would have more or less dabbled in the power of space.

In addition, Gu Yuena is extremely skilled in spatial attributes, which can provide more assistance in the condensation process, thus leading to the current result.

Now, Tang San is fortunate enough to be the first person to experience this peak power after he merged with Xue Di.

This is... the power of space!?

How could he have mastered it so quickly?!

Tang San felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Huo Yuhao suddenly appear in front of him.

A tangible chill shot straight into his mind from the soles of his feet, as if to drown out his reason.

Almost instantly, Tang San's powerful fighting instincts prompted him to swing the Clear Sky Hammer at the figure in front of him.

A short buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the Haotian Hammer in his hand swelled up in the wind as he swung it, and even its color quickly changed from the original black to a ferocious and heavy dark gold.

A familiar feeling welled up in my heart again.

Although he had no spirit rings, Tang San, just like in his previous life, instinctively released his weapon spirit true form, the Dark Gold Clear Sky Hammer!

However, this was not the end. While reveling in his own powerful strength, he casually used the Haotian Sect's secret technique once again.

The Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian – The Absolute Technique of the Character "Zhen"!

Perhaps in terms of sheer power, it is not as powerful as the most powerful of the Nine Absolutes, the Collapse Word Absolute, but its advantage lies in the fact that it can be activated instantly without the need for charging.

Given the urgency of the situation, he naturally couldn't afford to spend a long time accumulating power, and Huo Yuhao wouldn't give him that opportunity either.

Furthermore, with the added power of the shockwave, the power of the Shockwave Technique is not much weaker, especially with the support of his Title Douluo cultivation. Even if a Super Douluo were standing here right now, he would definitely not dare to withstand this attack head-on.

The dark golden hammerhead shone with visible light patterns, leaving a long trail of flame as it slammed heavily into Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand.

Then there is no more then.

That powerful strike, the immense force contained within the hammerhead, enough to shatter mountains and break rivers, vanished without a trace the instant it made contact with Huo Yuhao's palm.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, the slender, fair hand trembled visibly, but then there was no further reaction.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, he was not sent flying backwards, nor did he suffer any broken bones or serious injuries. Even the arena beneath his feet remained completely undamaged, leading people to wonder where that power had been transferred to.

It was as if what was blocked was not the Haotian Hammer, but a light apple.

"...Holy crap?"

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, many viewers instinctively stood up from their seats, their eyes filled with disbelief.

If they hadn't felt how powerful that hammer blow was, they would probably have suspected that the two had conspired to fix the match.

Looking at Tang San's utterly shocked expression, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh softly, "I overestimated you."

He made no attempt to hide his disappointment; there was not a trace of mockery in his tone, as if he were stating a given fact.

But it was precisely this extremely arrogant attitude that made Tang San tremble uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable anger quietly rose in his heart.

"Huo Yuhao—!!!"

He glared at that impossibly beautiful face, his expression twisted and terrifying: "You think this is over?!"

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer gradually shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a dark gold two-handed hammer with a handle about two meters long and a hammerhead the size of a washbasin.

Immediately afterwards, the hammer, wielded by Tang San, rained down on Huo Yuhao like a storm.

Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!

The combined experience of his two lifetimes at this moment endowed Tang San with a terrifying level of proficiency that no one could match.

With the added boost from his current Title Douluo cultivation, the heavy hammer in his hand was swung so hard that only afterimages could be seen, with several hammer blows aimed at Huo Yuhao every second.

The power kept increasing, and each strike was more powerful than the last.

No matter which tricky direction Tang San attacked from, Huo Yuhao's palm would accurately catch it. He couldn't even make Tang San take half a step back, let alone injure him.

"Seriously, aren't you all worried at all that Huo Yuhao might get hurt?"

Looking at the crowd around her, who were eating sunflower seeds and snacks, seemingly indifferent to the outcome of the competition or Huo Yuhao's safety, Nan Qiuqiu couldn't help but feel confused.

Although Huo Yuhao is very powerful, Tang San's performance wasn't bad either, was it?

Her heart was in her throat, but these guys were acting like nothing was wrong?

"Don't worry, this level of attack can't even break through Yuhao's defense."

Xiao Xiao waved her hand and handed the snacks in her hand to Nan Qiuqiu: "Just pretend he's teasing an idiot, ah—have some snacks to calm your nerves."

"..."

Of course, not everyone was uninterested in what was happening on the stage. For example, Jiang Nannan followed Nan Qiuqiu and asked the question that had been bothering her.

"What's wrong with Yuhao? Why isn't he fighting back?"

"He's trying to provoke Tang San, attempting to force him to use the divine artifact," Qiu'er explained.

"A divine artifact?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain, but you can think of it as Tang San possessing a very powerful treasure, just like my Golden Dragon Spear. Once used, it can greatly enhance his combat power."

"That amazing?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she looked extremely excited: "Can we use that treasure?"

"no."

Qiu'er shook her head and gave Wang Dong'er a meaningful look: "Among our group, only she has the conditions to use that treasure."

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then, thinking of how Wang Dong'er and Tang San both possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, she seemed to suddenly understand something and eagerly said.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's just snatch that thing from that guy and give it to Dong'er."

Halfway through her sentence, Xiao Xiao suddenly paused, as if she felt it was somewhat inappropriate, and then changed her mind.

"Um, well, I meant... could I borrow it for a little while?"

"We need to first determine whether that artifact is actually on Tang San's person."

With her gaze slightly shifted, Qiu'er turned her attention back to the arena, but this time she didn't look at Huo Yuhao and Tang San who were locked in fierce combat. Instead, she looked at the six Haotian Sect contestants behind Tang San.

Their faces were contorted in extreme pain, as if they were enduring some indescribable agony.

It seems that this secret technique is not without its costs?

While they were discussing this, Tang San had already swung his eightieth hammer.

"Nine times nine equals one!!!"

With a loud shout, the veins on his arms bulged and his muscles swelled, and the Haotian Hammer in his hand seemed to respond, bursting forth with a surging black light.

The power accumulated from the previous eighty hammer blows was now fully concentrated on the Haotian Hammer, resulting in the eighty-first hammer blow, which was said to be powerful enough to defeat gods!

At this moment, the ultimate Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was displayed in Tang San's hands. Even the barrier that covered the entire arena and protected the audience was unable to withstand the shockwaves emanating from the Clear Sky Hammer.

The sheer power released was enough to push the soul tools maintained by dozens of soul masters to their limits, demonstrating just how terrifying the power of this move was.

As Tang San moved, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand flew out and transformed into a black dragon phantom made of dark light, rushing towards the figure in front of him that he hated to the bone.

His response was Huo Yuhao's indifferent question.

"Have you had enough fun?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sliver of icy white light appeared in Huo Yuhao's palm and quickly covered his body.

Those were dragon scales, like translucent crystals, with intricate patterns printed on their surface, dreamlike dragon scales that seemed to not exist in reality.

"Um?"

Nan Qiuqiu immediately noticed something was wrong: "This is his ice-attribute martial soul, but it feels a little different from when I fought it."

Huo Yuhao's long white hair, which had just reached his back, grew again until it reached ankle height. A faint white mist swirled around him, obscuring his face, which had softened slightly but still exuded a cold aura.

Appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand and slammed it against the oncoming Haotian Hammer.

clang--

A piercing explosion rang out, and the menacing black dragon was easily dispersed by Huo Yuhao. The Clear Sky Hammer on its head flew off and spun as it crashed into a barrier on the side.

Finally, after smashing a hole in the barrier, it got stuck inside.

Upon seeing this, Tang San subconsciously switched to his Blue Silver Grass spirit. However, before the spirit rings beneath his feet could rise, a hand covered in dragon scales grew larger and larger in front of him.

Then I grabbed his face and pinched it.

Suddenly lifting him up, Huo Yuhao forcefully slammed him to the ground.

boom--! ! !

Tang San's vision went black, and he felt a warm liquid flowing down his forehead.

Crimson blood trickled down and flowed into his eyes. In a daze, he felt his hair being roughly pulled up.

Through the blood-red-covered vision, Tang San could vaguely see Huo Yuhao's silver-white vertical pupils.

"Looks like it's coming to an end?"

Hearing the words in his ear, he endured the excruciating pain in his body and silently grimaced.

"Yes, it's almost over."

The crimson soul ring beneath his feet suddenly shattered, turning into countless crimson light spots that all merged into his body.

In an instant, Tang San, whose aura had already reached the level of a Title Douluo, broke through again, and his jade-colored hand, which he had hidden at the first moment, was revealed at this moment.

What appeared on it was a single, crystal-clear, extremely pure droplet of water.

This was the ultimate move he had prepared for Huo Yuhao.

The number one hidden weapon technique of the Tang Clan: Guanyin's Tears.

With the combined power of the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and the energy boost from the 100,000-year-old Soul Ring, he briefly touched the threshold of using Guanyin's Tears.

This masterpiece embodies the wisdom of generations of Tang Sect leaders and is a deadly move that was powerful enough to severely injure a god ten thousand years ago. Today, ten thousand years later, it is recreated in front of nearly two hundred thousand viewers!

This is why he was confident that as long as Huo Yuhao's body was not a divine body, he would be able to defeat him.

"go."

As Tang San uttered those words, the water droplets in his hand instantly turned milky white and pierced through Huo Yuhao's chest.

But what happened next made his pupils shrink. Huo Yuhao paused slightly, then, as if nothing had happened, grabbed him and slowly stood up.

The piercing wound in his chest was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"To be honest, it really hurts when your heart is pierced through."

Seeing Tang San's incredulous gaze, Huo Yuhao grinned.

"Unfortunately, although I am not a god yet, I happen to possess a divine body."
