Feng Xiaotian's body was sent flying, and even his Gale Wings were cracked. The intense pain had turned Feng Xiaotian's face bright red.
"This hammer is... a weapon?" Feng Xiaotian looked at the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand with a puzzled expression.
It's important to know that the competition rules prohibit the use of any items other than martial spirits and soul bones. Using such items is a foul and will result in disqualification.
To his surprise, the referee did not issue a verdict, but instead stood there motionless as if dumbfounded.
"This, this is!!" Yu Tianheng, who was still somewhat weak, suddenly took off the towel on his body and stood up. "Haotian Hammer, that's right, Tang San's surname is Tang, could it be that he is a descendant of Haotian Sect?"
In the stands, every Soul Master with even a little knowledge expressed the same sentiment as Yu Tianheng.
The pinnacle of weapon spirits represents the strongest attack and power. The Clear Sky Hammer is the number one weapon spirit in the world. What's even more unbelievable is that this strongest weapon spirit actually exists on Tang San in the form of twin weapon spirits.
"Haotian Sect, Haotian Hammer, Twin Martial Souls!" Salas muttered to himself in disbelief, each of these three words stimulating his soul.
Although Tang San did not explicitly state it, the ability he was using at this moment was clearly one of the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul skills, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
"Tang San actually has twin martial souls! How is that possible? He actually has such potential!" Tian Lin's tone was no longer calm as he spoke, his voice trembling.
Seeing that even Sword Master had this expression, everyone could understand. After all, that was the Clear Sky Hammer, and it was the Clear Sky Hammer that existed as the second spirit. This meant that once Tang San was granted a title, there was a high possibility that a Clear Sky Douluo with all ten-thousand-year spirit rings would appear, which would mean the most powerful force on the entire continent.
Sword Master has long been proud of his peers, even surpassing the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. But today, a young man with potential far exceeding his has suddenly appeared, which must be a great blow to him.
Yu Tianheng stepped forward and patted Tianlin on the shoulder. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of encouragement and comfort.
Among the crowd, only Gu Ran looked at his boss with admiration.
The狰狞 face expressed Tianlin's jealousy of the twin martial souls, and the trembling arms showed his unwillingness and fear of being surpassed.
"Boss, you really are my idol! I, Gu Ran, not only want to learn from your talent in cultivation, but also from your superb acting skills!" Gu Ran shouted excitedly in his heart. Others might not know, but he knew that Tian Lin was also a twin martial soul, and the terror of his two martial souls was far more terrifying than the Clear Sky Hammer. Would he be afraid of a mere Tang San?
In the stands, Gu Ran's master, Gu Rong, was in the same situation, because his sect leader, Ning Fengzhi, was doing the same thing as his son-in-law, Tian Lin.
“Aside from His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I have never seen or even heard of a second person in this world who possesses twin spirits. I thought that my Zong Tianlin was already a once-in-a-century genius, but I never expected that Shrek Academy would hide a Tang San with even greater potential. I just wonder whose child he is. The Clear Sky Sect has been closed off for many years. Are there still Clear Sky Sect disciples wandering outside in this world?” Ning Fengzhi said in a heavy tone. At this moment, his hand holding the sect leader’s staff was trembling. Anyone could feel how unsettled he was.
Since Bibi Dong has fully matured, she no longer deliberately hides the secret of her twin martial souls. Although it's not common knowledge, these high-ranking figures still know some of it. Therefore, through her, they can roughly understand just how terrifying a fully matured twin martial soul is. The top-quality configuration of all ten-thousand-year-old spirit rings represents strength far exceeding that of ordinary titled Douluo.
"Hey, Xiao Tian, do you and your sect leader have a grudge against this Tang San? You should know that the more fear you show him, the more dangerous he becomes," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked, puzzled.
"It's not that I have a grudge. Tang San exposed his Clear Sky Hammer on his own, it wasn't my design. It's just that if I act too calm when I see twin martial souls, it will arouse suspicion. Envy, jealousy, or even fear are the normal reactions a person should have," Tianlin explained.
Ning Fengzhi clearly shared the same thought as Tianlin. Because of his performance, everyone felt sorry for Ning Fengzhi. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had indeed developed extremely rapidly in recent years. In addition, with Jun Tianlin's sudden rise to prominence and unmatched among his peers, it was on the verge of surpassing the Haotian School to become the true number one sect in the world.
Unexpectedly, the Clear Sky Sect had hidden a twin martial soul. Once Tang San grew up, his ideals would be shattered once again.
"Sect Master, as expected of my Sect Master, how can you lie so calmly?" Gu Rong and Gu Ran, being master and disciple, had the exact same reaction. Gu Rong was terrified of being exposed and dared not say a word, but Ning Fengzhi lied without even blinking.
Ning Fengzhi even emphasized the word "outside" slightly, which immediately alerted Salas. "The Haotian Sect is sealed off from the mountains, and there's only one person outside right now. Could this Tang San be..."
He couldn't sit still any longer. He even forgot to say goodbye to Emperor Xueye and went straight back to the Spirit Hall. He immediately ordered people to check Tang San's file. As long as Tang San was awakened by their Spirit Hall, they would definitely be able to find out.
Sure enough, the documents arrived soon after.
"Tang San, a native of Holy Soul Village, currently studying at Shrek Academy, graduated from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, an Awakened One, Su Yuntao, surviving family member, father... Tang Hao!" When he saw the last two words, Salas's eyes widened completely, and a look of fear appeared in his pupils. "This Tang San is actually Tang Hao's son."
Chapter 174 The Qualifying Round Ends, Xue Qinghe's Hatred
When Salas returned to the Soul Arena, the battle between Feng Xiaotian and Tang San had already ended, and unsurprisingly, Tang San was the victor.
The moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, the outcome was already clear. Although the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf was a high-level martial soul that was extremely close to the top, it was still far inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer. The Gale Demon Wolf's Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes were also far inferior to the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
After all, one side can only charge up thirty-six times, while the other side has a full eighty-one hammer blows. Even if Tang San can't unleash the final hammer blow of the Nine-Nine Return to One yet, it is still something that Feng Xiaotian can't withstand.
However, Salas couldn't care less about the outcome of the match. He only had one thought: Tang San absolutely could not be allowed to live!
No one knows the potential of twin martial souls better than the Spirit Hall, after all, their Pope is an unparalleled expert with twin martial souls.
Although the Sword Lord of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is currently in the lead, even if he becomes a Title Douluo in the future, in his mind he will at most grow to the level of Chen Xin, maybe even stronger. Although he is enough to make them wary, he is not enough to pose an excessive threat to the Spirit Hall.
Tang San is different. If he can overcome the difficulty of having twin martial souls, he may be able to grow to the level of their Pope. In addition, Tang Hao's family has a deep hatred for the Spirit Hall, making them a formidable enemy of the Spirit Hall.
"It seems we have to put Jun Tianlin's matter aside for now and deal with Tang San first." Salas acted quickly and had already sent someone to Wuhun City to deliver a message.
After Feng Xiaotian's defeat, Shenfeng Academy chose to concede directly. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was too powerful, and they didn't want to get injured before the finals. Anyway, the qualifying rounds were just for ranking, so losing one game wouldn't have a big impact.
With that, the qualifying rounds were over, and the various academies lined up according to the new rankings. At the very front was the Royal Fighting Team, who should have been the most eye-catching, but now almost everyone's gaze couldn't help but drift toward Tang San.
The successor of Haotian, twin martial souls—these are far more exciting than a major competition.
Afterwards, Emperor Xueye gave another impassioned speech of encouragement and inspiration. As an emperor, he could not easily leave Tiandou City, so he definitely could not watch the final match.
Therefore, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe became the representative of the Heaven Dou Empire to participate in the judging of this competition, accompanying the fifteen teams from Heaven Dou to Wuhun City, located at the border of the two empires, for the final competition.
The organizing committee gave each team three days to adjust. After giving them their instructions, they disbanded. Tianlin glanced at Salas, whose face was gloomy. This guy would definitely report Tang San's situation to Wuhun City.
In this case, the assassination attempt from the original story might still occur, but without Dugu Bo and Sword Douluo, Tang San might not be able to escape this calamity.
Normally, Tang San would be fine if he died, but he still has value to Tianlin, and Tianlin has left some backup plans for him. It would be a pity if he died so easily.
Moreover, since Tang San appeared in the vision of the future, it means he won't die this time. Could it be that Tang Hao will intervene to save him in advance?
"Well, I'll just have to see how things go," Tianlin thought to himself. In fact, he had another thought in mind: would the Spirit Hall also take action against him while they were at it?
He wasn't afraid. Ning Fengzhi had already decided to take Chen Xin and Dugu Bo with him on this trip to the Spirit Hall, while Gu Rong would stay behind to guard the sect. As for Yin Yang, it seemed that Ning Fengzhi had just sent him to do something else.
With the two Douluo, Jian and Du, by his side, Tianlin was not worried about his safety.
Moreover, if he were to unleash his full power now, he would be confident enough to take on a Title Douluo who had just reached level 90.
The source of their confidence lies in the million-year soul ring technique of the Holy Spirit Orb, the Summoning God Technique—Martial God.
The strength of this Martial God is determined based on Tian Lin's strength. He is about one major stage stronger than Tian Lin, which means that he is now equivalent to Tian Lin, who is close to the Soul Saint level.
Tianlin, a Soul Saint, is absolutely capable of defeating a Soul Douluo. If he were to further utilize his Mental Interference Domain, Holy Spirit Domain, Illusory Water Thunder, and Feng Shui Flowing Array, he would have no fear even when facing a Title Douluo.
Thinking of this, Tianlin felt much relieved and grateful to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, all thanks to the soul ring it provided.
"Xiao Tian, what's wrong? Are you thinking about Tang San?" At this moment, Xue Qinghe walked over with a smile. He thought that Tian Lin was upset because he had been provoked by Tang San.
Tianlin didn't deny it either, and went along with it, saying, "Yes, I really didn't expect that he would be the third person in the history of the continent to have twin martial souls. It seems that it's only a matter of time before he surpasses me."
Xue Qinghe patted Tianlin on the shoulder, "Xiao Tian, don't underestimate yourself. That Tang San can't surpass you, and your big brother won't let him surpass you either."
In Xue Qinghe's mind, Tianlin's Demon Sword was also a god-level martial soul, while the Haotian Hammer, no matter how strong, was only among the top-tier. Therefore, she still felt that Tianlin was the most outstanding.
Moreover, Tang San might not be able to grow up. The moment she saw the Clear Sky Hammer, her killing intent almost boiled over.
According to the information she knew, her father died after being severely injured by the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Clear Sky Sect was an irreconcilable enemy to her.
Tianlin's five senses were incredibly sharp. Even though Xue Qinghe's killing intent was well hidden, he still managed to detect it. He smiled and said, "Brother Xue, don't worry. I don't think I'll lose to him. Even if I don't have as many martial souls as he does, as long as my level is always higher than his, I won't be surpassed by him. Don't forget, we have the power of Tianxue."
Seeing Tianlin's smile, Xue Qinghe's murderous intent vanished instantly. "You're right, Xiao Tian. Alright, go back and get some rest. Go to Wuhun City with Brother Xue in three days. This time, I can finally cheer you on properly."
"Thank you, Brother Xue, then I'll take my leave." Tianlin bid farewell to Xue Qinghe and left. As the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe still had many things to prepare, and he couldn't stay with Tianlin for the next three days.
"Wait, Brother Jun." Just as Tian Lin stepped out of the Soul Arena, someone called out to him.
"Brother Tianxin, is there anything I can help you with?" The person who came was Yu Tianxin. Although he lost to Tianheng, he was actually in better condition than Tianheng, since he only had superficial injuries.
However, due to the side effects of the Dragon's Reverse Scale, Tianheng did not even attend the closing ceremony of the final qualifying round and went back to rest.
"Please pass on a message to Tianheng: I accept defeat wholeheartedly in today's battle. I am willing to relinquish the position of the next head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and will wholeheartedly assist him from now on," Yu Tian thought to himself. In fact, this was something he had already agreed upon with Tianheng. The outcome of the battle in the Soul Master Competition would determine the winner, so that they, as brothers, would not end up like the Star Luo Dai Clan, fighting to the death.
Tianlin nodded. "Okay, I'll remember that. Actually, Tianheng also has something to tell you: the position of the next deputy patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is vacant."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianxin's usually serious face broke into a rare smile. "Haha, then Brother Jun, you'd better be careful. In the future, Tianheng and I will be able to overcome any obstacle together. Who knows, one day our family might even surpass your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
“That’s impossible, because there are two of you, while there are at least three of us on my side.” Tianlin’s mind conjured up the faces of Gu Ran and Rongrong.
His supporters are no less powerful than Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, so how could he possibly lose to them?
Chapter 175 The Spirit Hall's Plan: Ning Fengzhi's Response
In the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena entered the Papal Palace with a document in her hand. Bibi Dong was not there at this time. She did not do everything herself; some things were entrusted to the two Title Douluos.
"Elder Gui, Elder Ju, our teacher has given you two an order. She said she doesn't want to see this person in Spirit City." Hu Liena pointed her slender finger to a name on the contestant list—it was Tang San.
Salas's report clearly states that with twin martial souls and the son of the Haotian Douluo, how could the Spirit Hall possibly let such an identity go?
“I understand, but Ning Rongrong and Jun Tianlin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are also in the entourage that came to the Spirit Hall this time. They must be protected by Title Douluos, which will be difficult to deal with,” Yue Guan said worriedly.
His strength is not what it used to be. In the past few years, although he has eliminated nine-tenths of Dugu Bo's poison, the Snow Swan Kiss is not so easy to receive. The aftereffects are very serious. His level has dropped by more than one level. His strength is far from what it used to be.
"Elder Ju, I understand your concerns. The people who escorted the contestants here this time were the Crown Prince of Tian Dou and Ning Fengzhi. Under those circumstances, it would indeed be unreasonable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not to take action. However, our target this time is not Jun Tianlin and Ning Rongrong. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not fight us to the death for Tang San. Therefore, as long as someone keeps them occupied, that will suffice."
Hu Liena's idea was simple: to fake a fight, send someone to entangle the Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then have the rest of the team focus on killing Tang San.
However, if they want to keep a titled-level combatant occupied, then they will inevitably have to send out a titled Douluo.
Just then, five imposing figures walked in from outside the main hall. Upon seeing these people, Yue Guan was completely relieved, because all five of them were Title Douluo.
Although the Spirit Hall only has three Title Douluos to the outside world, in reality, in addition to the Pope, they also have seven Grand Masters and nine Elders, all of whom are Title Douluos.
The seven Grand Masters are extremely mysterious, and even Ning Fengzhi has very little information about them.
However, the nine elders all had some knowledge of the true upper echelons.
从上往下依次是,95级鬼斗罗、原95级菊斗罗、94级海龟斗罗、93级狂狮斗罗、93级焰鹰斗罗、93级鬼豹斗罗、93级魔熊斗罗、92级刺豚斗罗与92级蛇矛斗罗。
In the future, there will be another sect master of the Holy Dragon Sect, a level 91 Holy Dragon Douluo.
Apart from the porcupine and the snake spear who had been protecting Qian Renxue, the other seven people had all gathered here.
The honest-looking Turtle Douluo and the seemingly wild Lion Douluo stepped forward. "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, this time we will go with you. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't make a move, fine. But if they do, we will stop them."
"Good, with the addition of these two, this operation is sure to be a success," Yue Guan said with satisfaction.
Although his strength has been greatly reduced, as long as he can keep a titled-level combatant occupied, dealing with a group of kids is still no problem for him.
Three days later, under the protection of numerous Royal Knights, the fifteen academies set off in a grand procession toward Wuhun City.
The journey was smooth and uneventful, and eleven days passed peacefully.
Inside the Royal Fighting Team's carriage, Tianlin closed his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was using his incredibly powerful mental strength to probe his surroundings. "I haven't sensed Tang Hao. Has he still not appeared? Are you so sure that your son, who has already been exposed, is going to Wuhun City? Or are you too confident in my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Royal Knights?"
"It's Xiao Tian's spiritual power again. This is the third time in the past few days." In another carriage of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin immediately detected Tian Lin's detection and informed Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo.
Even though Tianlin now has extremely precise control over his perception abilities, and can't even detect the level 96 Gu Rong, he still can't avoid the level 98 Chen Xin.
“Uncle Jian, there’s no need to make a fuss. I know what Xiao Tian is sensing.” Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. “It seems that Xiao Tian has already guessed the relationship between Tang San and Haotian Douluo, and he is very aware of the danger.”
"Although the past eleven days have been uneventful, if I'm not mistaken, the advance troops should be reaching the Grand Canyon by now. That's the perfect ambush location."
"An ambush? You mean the Spirit Hall might attack us here?" Dugu Bo immediately became alert upon hearing this.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "It's not us, it's Tang San. But since we're here, it wouldn't be right for us not to help. Uncle Jian, Uncle Dugu, when the fight starts, you don't need to use your full strength. Uncle Jian, just use your level 96 power. Uncle Dugu, don't use Snow Swan Kiss. Tang San isn't worth our sect turning against the Spirit Hall. Besides, if we keep a few of their Title Douluos occupied, no one can say anything about us."
Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong had the same idea: as long as the Spirit Hall didn't take action against Tianlin and Rongrong, they could just go through the motions without putting in any effort. After all, Tang San was not nearly as important to them as he was in the original story, and he didn't have the same favor of giving Ning Rongrong the Qiluo Tulip.
