A Bite of Douluo Continent

Chapter 408 Soul-Shattering Spear Technique

As the golden light dissipated, Tang Zhong emerged from the unfolded ghost vines. Upon hearing Yun Qing's words, his expression darkened slightly, and he glared angrily at a Tang Clan disciple in the battle circle not far away.

traitor!

He even told Yun Qing about his soul skill, otherwise, if the other party had been caught off guard, he might have been able to find an opportunity to counterattack.

Tang Zhong's fifth soul skill can be considered a blessing in disguise. When he was acquiring his fifth soul ring, he accidentally encountered a soul beast that was not very suitable for him. However, he was in a critical situation at the time and did not have the opportunity to be picky, so he had to bite the bullet and absorb it. Unexpectedly, the soul skill he obtained was a divine skill.

Fifth Soul Skill: Undying Golden Vine. This soul skill is similar to Undying Golden Body. It grants temporary invincibility by consuming soul power. The amount of soul power consumed depends on the strength of the opponent's attack.

However, it wasn't Tang Zhong himself who gained the invincibility effect, but rather his Ghost Vine.

This soul skill even alarmed the Tang Sect's higher-ups. Unfortunately, after verification by the Tang Sect's higher-ups, it was found that his situation could not be replicated. The emergence of this soul skill was also related to his own mutated ghost vine.

Yun Qing's soul power appeared extremely powerful, but it was actually just a skill from a thousand-year soul ring. For Tang Zhong, the consumption of using the Undying Golden Vine to counter it was not significant.

Although I can't use my fifth soul skill again in the short term, I've managed to probe the opponent's soul skill, so it's not a complete loss even if I force it.

At this moment, Tang Zhong began to regret it. Although he had heard of Yun Qing's deeds, because Yun Qing had never appeared in the Shrek City Great Soul Arena, he only listened to the other party's affairs as gossip and never inquired about the other party's soul skills. Before this, he only vaguely knew that the other party's martial soul was a pair of gauntlets.

Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't be in such a state of disarray right now.

However, Tang Zhong was very experienced, and at this moment he had roughly deduced the secret of Yun Qing's martial soul. The opponent's martial soul was related to the weather, and various attribute attack methods could be derived from it.

He has already used three soul skills, which include attacks of four attributes: water, fire, light, and lightning. Although each attribute is limited to a specific attack method, they are still quite unbeatable.

No wonder he achieved such a terrifying score of 18,000 in the Soul Arena. His multiple attributes made him immune to various attribute counters, and his attack methods were also so diverse, covering both close and long-range attacks.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Tang Zhong glanced at Yun Qing opposite him, his expression becoming more serious. After taking two light steps, his sixth soul ring suddenly lit up, and a purple spear formed from ghost vines appeared in his hand. At the same time, a misty purple aura appeared in his black pupils.

The Tang Clan's ultimate technique, a method for training the eyes: Purple Demon Eye!

Sixth Soul Skill: Ghost Shadow Overlord Spear!

With his spear in hand, Tang Zhong seemed like a different person. With a roar, he charged towards Yun Qing like a powerful attack-type Soul Master. His hands gripped the spear shaft so tightly that the veins bulged, yet they had an eerie jade color. The spear in his hand swept up, its shadow like a startled swan, carrying endless spear light straight at Yun Qing.

The Tang Clan's ultimate martial art, a method for practicing hand techniques: the Mysterious Jade Hand!

Do you know my soul skills?

Then I'll show you something new!

Don't forget, the family to which the pharmacy belongs is not a plant-type soul master family, but the Yang family!

The Yang family, who possess the Soul-Shattering Spear!

...

"Hmm?" Qi Po-xiao, who was sitting in a corner of the audience watching the scene unfold with great interest, suddenly raised an eyebrow, his face showing a hint of surprise. "That marksmanship is..."

"The Yang family's Soul-Breaking Spear Technique." Tang Qianqiu smiled, looking at Tang Zhong, who had become somewhat frenzied after gripping the spear, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "I gave Tang Zhong a few pointers the other day, and he has improved since then. He looks quite professional now."

"The Yang family from the pharmacy?" Qi Po-xiao's surprise deepened. "How did the Yang family's spear technique get passed down to him?"

"Although Tang Zhong's surname is not Yang, his wife's surname is Yang." Tang Qianqiu smiled slightly. "Moreover, the Yang family is not so rigid. Ever since our ancestor Tang San passed on all the secret techniques of the Tang Clan to his disciples, the four clans have followed suit and also passed on their own secret techniques to some of their outstanding disciples. Even my spear technique has been greatly influenced by the Yang family's spear technique."

"I see." Qi Po-xiao nodded in realization, glanced at Tang Zhong in the arena, and chuckled, "He only learned the basics of marksmanship, but he certainly picked up that crazy spirit."

...

The Yang family spear technique, which Qi Po-xiao had described as only having a superficial understanding of, was now being displayed by Tang Zhong, and it almost instantly reversed the previously one-sided situation.

With the condensation of a soul skill at the ten-thousand-year level, the Ghost Shadow Overlord Spear in his hand is comparable in strength to a weapon spirit. Moreover, because it is plant-type, even if it is damaged, it will not harm Tang Zhong's essence and can be quickly repaired.

Combined with his almost maniacal and ferocious marksmanship, the power amplification from the Xuan Yu Hand, and the penetrating insight of the Purple Demon Eyes, he caught Yun Qing completely off guard.

Yun Qing cursed under his breath, then steadied himself and flashed his third soul ring. Golden arcs of electricity shot from his left fist toward the spear tip. Countless arcs of electricity climbed up Tang Zhong's right hand holding the spear, attempting to temporarily paralyze his arm.

Tang Zhong's expression turned solemn. A flash of jade light appeared in his hand, directly suppressing the electric arc, preventing it from advancing or retreating even an inch. He twirled his spear, striking Yun Qing's right fist that came flying in with a heavy blow. With a clang of metal, the two figures quickly separated, then clashed together again after a few more steps.

After several rounds, Tang Zhong and Yun Qing were evenly matched, but he showed no joy at all.

The opponent has yet to use the fifth and sixth soul skills, which are both ancient soul skills.

Of course, he didn't use all his trump cards. In the previous rounds of fighting with his opponent while holding a gun, he didn't use any of Ghost Vine's other soul skills. If he had used control-type soul skills and gun techniques together, he would have been even stronger.

One member of the Sweet Tofu Pudding team has been eliminated!

Ang Tian's sudden voice startled Yun Qing. He didn't turn around to see which teammate had been eliminated, but his gaze towards Tang Zhong became more serious.

The Salty Tofu Pudding team has gained another disruptive opponent; they can't afford to delay any longer.

"Be careful." After giving the warning, Yun Qing clenched her fists and stepped forward, the dark fifth spirit ring behind her lighting up for the first time.

coming!

Tang Zhong's expression turned serious. He knew that his opponent was now under pressure and would probably not waste any more time. He instantly attacked with his spear, and at the same time, his fourth soul skill lit up. Ghost vines rose from the ground, disrupting Yun Qing's sprint rhythm.

Faced with Tang Zhong's offensive, Yun Qing did only one thing.

Punch.

As he threw a punch, the surging wind of the fist seemed to break through all obstacles. Its unparalleled momentum even overshadowed the frenzied power of the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique, making Tang Zhong's heart tremble.

That punch couldn't be blocked.

Such a thought appeared strangely in his mind, and even his marksmanship seemed to be suppressed by the momentum, becoming sluggish.

The fist finally struck the tip of the spear. The tip of the Ghost Shadow Overlord Spear exploded in an instant, but it still couldn't stop the force from spreading along the shaft and reaching Tang Zhongyu's right hand.

The light from the Xuan Yu Hand dimmed, and the next moment, Tang Zhong was struck as if by lightning and sent flying backward.

Fifth Soul Skill: Clear Skies - Clouds Part and Mist Disperse.

Chapter 409 The Scales of Victory (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

After regaining his footing in mid-air, Tang Zhong landed with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Many blood vessels in his right hand, where he had been holding the gun, had ruptured, and traces of blood seeped from his skin, flowing down his wrist to his fingertips and finally dripping to the ground.

If he hadn't given up on taking the punch head-on at the last moment and cleverly deflected some of the force by using the momentum to fly backward, his right hand would have suffered far more than just a ruptured blood vessel.

That was a powerful punch.

Tang Zhong looked at Yun Qing not far away with a solemn expression, realizing the gap between the two.

Yun Qing's punch just now had the initial condensation of fist intent. It was no longer just a matter of powerful strength. It also carried an unparalleled will, which was almost tangible, to the point that it affected Tang Zhong's spear strike.

The Yang family's Soul-Shattering Spear Technique also possesses a similar spear intent, but as Qi Po-xiao said, he had only learned the basics of the spear technique, and the level of spear intent was still far from his reach.

After knocking his opponent back with a single punch, Yun Qing would normally rush in to press his advantage and beat his enemy until they surrendered. However, since this was just a game for entertainment, he stood there after his successful punch and glanced at Tang Zhong. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Ang Tian's excited voice again.

"Sweet Tofu Pudding Team, two players eliminated!"

Yun Qing: "???"

From eliminating one person to eliminating two now, it's only been a few breaths. What's going on?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the battle zone where his other teammates were fighting.

...

Let's go back a few breaths.

Dan and Pad, who had been locked in a stalemate for some time, clashed again.

"It's no use, let's just stay like this until our soul power is exhausted." Pad chuckled, and once again activated his stagnation barrier to control Dann, forcing him back.

The two men were in completely different mindsets at the moment. Dan was thinking about breaking through Pad as soon as possible and then going to support his teammates, but for Pad, it was enough to just hold Dan back.

Yes, all we need to do is stall him until Yun Qing defeats Tang Zhong, and the scales of victory will naturally tip in favor of the Sweet Tofu Brain team.

"Don't even think about it!" Dan snorted, turning his head to look around. When he saw Tang Zhong dominating Yun Qing with his Overlord Spear, a hint of joy appeared on his face. "Pad, I think you're the ones who are going to lose!"

"Hmm?" Pad turned his head and looked in that direction, his expression changing slightly.

Why does it seem like Tang Zhong has the upper hand?

Just as he was distracted, Dann transformed into a gust of wind once again, whipping up countless wind blades as he rapidly approached Pad.

"Hmph! You think you can't take a sneak attack?" Feeling the strong wind rushing towards him, Pad quickly came to his senses and subconsciously activated the stagnation barrier again. He then threw a punch at Dan, trying to force him back with the same trick.

However, this time, the black fifth spirit ring behind Dahn suddenly lit up.

Grass! (A type of plant)

Pad's expression changed drastically. Dann's use of a ten-thousand-year soul skill at such close range caught him off guard.

Almost instantly, Dan's light blue pupils turned into pure green, and countless storms surged into the sky, directly shattering the stagnant barrier. Before Pad could release his fifth soul skill, his hand slashed towards Dan's neck like a knife, then stopped.

"You're gone." Dan chuckled, then withdrew his hand.

Pad's face was full of resentment, "You tried to play dirty tricks on me!"

By now, he had figured out Dan's plan.

Dann repeatedly charged at him, then allowed himself to be forced back, thus numbing his vigilance. He then distracted himself with the battle between the two Soul Emperors, and finally, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, he unleashed a ten-thousand-year Soul Skill at close range, shattering his stagnation barrier.

If Pad had used his fifth soul skill, the battle might have continued, but first he was paralyzed, then distracted, and then caught off guard, which made him react a beat too slow. He was thus eliminated by Dan in a frustrating way.

"There's no other way, you have to use your brain when you fight." Dan chuckled, and after the referee announced that one member of the Sweet Tofu Brain team had been eliminated, he moved like the wind and rushed towards other battle circles.

Pad slunk off the field, grumbling twice, "Sweet tofu pudding is the most delicious. Even if you beat me, it won't change the outcome!"

After eliminating Pai De, Dan did not immediately support Tang Zhong. Instead, he glanced around and then rushed towards Qiao Xuanyi like a gentle breeze.

Qiao Xuanyi had honed his spear for thirty years. Although his soul power level was not high, his combat experience was far superior to that of a mere youth like Ye Haoran. Soon after the two engaged in battle, he completely gained the upper hand. If Ye Haoran hadn't had his own unique strengths as a disciple of Shrek Academy, he probably would have been eliminated.

Even so, he barely managed to withstand Qiao Xuanyi's repeated attacks until he suddenly saw a familiar figure flying towards him, at which point a hint of joy appeared on Ye Haoran's face.

Qiao Xuanyi's expression changed slightly. He had naturally heard Ang Tian's words earlier. He didn't expect that after the teammate who played Xian Doufunao eliminated his teammate, he didn't immediately support Tang Zhong, but instead came after him.

who is it?

Qiao Xuanyi twirled his spear and slammed it into the spine of Ye Haoran's holy sword, forcing him back several steps. He then turned to look in the direction from which the cold wind was coming, and when he saw Daen's face, he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

That's giving themselves way too much credit.
