Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

After glancing at the Jade Marrow and Jade Pagoda over there, Tang San abandoned the idea of ​​using hidden weapons.

After all, it wasn't a life-or-death battle, but a gamble for the Soul Master Competition.

The Soul Master Competition strictly prohibits the use of any external objects during combat, and hidden weapons are naturally among the restricted items. Therefore, hidden weapons cannot be used in this battle.

However, his Blue Silver Grass was too weak to deal with a powerful expert like Jing Ling, so that was the only option.

Having made up his mind, Tang San retrieved his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and eight purplish-red spider legs extended from his back, which were his restored and evolved Eight Spider Lances.

While refining the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bone also underwent a certain evolution, further increasing its strength, which gave it extremely strong melee combat capabilities.

Seeing Tang San finally manifest the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone, Jing Ling's expression became more solemn, but she was overjoyed.

This is what I've been waiting for.

Without a word, Jing Ling's figure disappeared again after Tang San conjured the Eight Spider Lances.

Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye to its fullest extent, locking onto Jing Ling's figure, while simultaneously manifesting his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and unleashing the Chaotic Cloak Dance.

Over the past year, he has further refined the Dance of the Chaotic Cloak, making it more suitable for actual combat.

Using the Eight Spider Spears Soul Bones to form an offensive defense, blocking every sword strike from Jing Ling, while simultaneously using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to continuously build up momentum with the Haotian Hammer in his hand and attack Jing Ling.

The teacher said that the Clear Sky Hammer is the nemesis of all offensive martial souls. It can shatter any martial soul and attack. Even if his Clear Sky Hammer is not equipped with a soul ring, its power will not be bad when activated by his own level 49 soul power.

At least it can withstand Jing Ling's sword energy.

It's true that the Clear Sky Hammer is the nemesis of all offensive martial souls and soul skills, but that's only if you actually hit it.

In battle, unless severely restricted, no one would be foolish enough to fight the Clear Sky Hammer head-on.

That's why Yu Xiaogang designed that series of spirit rings for Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit, in order to assist the Clear Sky Hammer in the future.

Using the Blue Silver Grass's soul skill to restrict and bind the opponent, and then delivering a fatal blow with the Clear Sky Hammer, is the perfect combination.

Seeing Tang San's plan, Jing Ling was secretly delighted. She clasped her hands together and fused the two bone swords into one, unleashing her power and speed beyond their limits, and unleashed a frenzied attack on Tang San's Eight Spider Lances.

The fusion of sword intent and bone spirit cold fire allowed Jing Ling's skeleton martial soul to evolve into a top-tier martial soul, which in turn boosted the soul ring skills, making the sharpness of this bone sword even greater.

Furthermore, the eight spider spear soul bones integrated into his hands further enhanced his strength.

With such multiple enhancements, even though Tang San's Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone was strengthened by the power of the two immortal herbs, it was still difficult to withstand the sharpness of the bone sword, and it was soon covered with sword marks.

Unfortunately, although the Eight Spider Lances evolved once with the help of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, the evolution was mainly in toxicity, and its own strength did not increase much.

Last time, Huang Yuan was able to slowly crush the Eight Spider Lances, let alone Jing Ling, who specializes in swordsmanship.

The destruction of the Eight Spider Lances caused Tang San to grit his teeth in pain, but he still maintained the Chaotic Cloak Dance.

This is his only chance and means to win. As long as he accumulates the Chaotic Cloak Dance to its limit, he can unleash the heavy nature of the Clear Sky Hammer and suppress Jing Ling's speed.

This would give me the opportunity to use the Blue Silver Cage on it, and then end everything with the Clear Sky Hammer to achieve victory.

However, what Tang San didn't know was that this was exactly what Jing Ling wanted. The speed of the slashing became even faster, and in no time, it cut off a section of the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone, and then another section.

This scene filled the Shrek Academy members with worry, with Xiao Wu being the most concerned.

She knew very well what an external soul bone meant, and she understood how intense the pain of having an external soul bone severed and broken was, and she was even more aware of the pain that her third brother was currently enduring.

She couldn't stop him, though, because it was her third brother's choice, and it concerned the future of the Shrek Academy and the team. If they failed, her third brother would be unhappy.

And so, Tang San continued to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to build up his power, while the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bones on his body were constantly being shattered, until only the spine bone on his vest remained, which was also the foundation of the Eight Spider Lances.

At this moment, Tang San had already charged up the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to the eightieth strike, and was about to unleash the ultimate burst of power by swinging the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, at that moment, Jing Ling, who had been attacking relentlessly from all sides, suddenly disappeared and reappeared thirty meters away.

This scene almost made Tang San spit out a mouthful of old blood, and it also made Yu Xiaogang's face turn dark. The situation he was most worried about had still happened.

Despite feeling so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood, Tang San still had no choice but to unleash the eighty-first hammer blow.

This is the flaw of the strategy of using someone else's strength against them: the stronger the accumulated power, the more difficult it becomes to control.

By the time of the eighty-oneth strike, the power accumulated on the Clear Sky Hammer had far exceeded Tang San's capacity to bear and control, making it impossible for him to stop.

Ultimately, with no other choice, he could only throw the Clear Sky Hammer at Jing Ling, hoping it would have some effect. At the same time, he manifested the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, creating three layers of Blue Silver Cage to protect himself inside.

His choice was also correct. The moment the Blue Silver Cage was formed, a sword aura sliced ​​open one side, and it was Jing Ling who made the move.

Then, repeating the previous battle process, Jingling launched a rapid attack around Tang San, repeatedly slicing open the Blue Silver Cage and forcing Tang San to consume his soul power to repair it.

It seems like neither side can defeat the other, but you should know that Tang San's soul skill is of the release type, which consumes much more energy than Jing Ling's.

Jingling's soul skills all affect herself. Although they are not as powerful or effective as offensive soul skills, they consume much less energy. If this continues, Jingling will definitely win in the end.

"Mistress, step back. We've lost this round."

Flander glanced at his good brother Yu Xiaogang, whose face was ashen, and could only admit defeat on his behalf.

Although Tang San's defeat was regrettable, it was only one round; there's still another one to go.

The opponent was down to only one person, and that person was a healing-type Soul Master.

Won!

Hearing Flander's words, Tang San was very unwilling, but he also knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose.

In the end, he could only control the Blue Silver Cage to dissipate and retrieve his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Tang San gave Jing Ling a cold look, then turned pale and returned to the group.

The pain of having his eight spider spears shattered bit by bit was unbearable even for someone with his strong will, and he was sweating profusely.

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward to help Tang San up, and even glared at Jing Ling with resentment. However, Jing Ling simply raised her bone sword, her eyes cold.

Perhaps influenced by his martial spirit, he doesn't feel much for women, let alone have any tenderness or pity for them. If that girl dares to lay a hand on him in the future, he wouldn't mind chopping her up and experiencing the feeling of killing someone along the way.

Jing Ling's bone sword and cold gaze reminded Xiao Wu of the scene last year when her arm was severed. Her face turned pale instantly, and she quickly turned around to help Tang San back to the group.

"Jiangzhu, a healing-type Soul Master, please enlighten me!"

After Jingling returned, Jiangzhu glanced at the eight spider spear soul bone fragments scattered on the ground, walked over and manifested her martial soul healing staff, her gaze falling on the Shrek group.

Although he is a healing-type Soul Master, he is not without combat power.

"Ning Rongrong, step forward!"

Although Yu Xiaogang looked very unhappy with his disciple's repeated failures, he still arranged an opponent for Jiangzhu.

Both possess support-type martial souls, and since Jiangzhu lost to Ning Rongrong, Yushi Sui probably couldn't say anything about it.

"Master, I'm on my period, I'm not fit to fight."

Ning Rongrong politely declined, not wanting to fight with Jiangzhu.

Just kidding, she hasn't finished that task with the teacher yet. If she doesn't get forgiveness from Jiangzhu and the other two after confessing the truth, she might be expelled from the school by the teacher.

That would be a huge loss!

Unfortunately, Jiangzhu and the other two had a very bad impression of Shrek Academy and were always very wary of them. She tried to get close to them many times, but they were rejected by her and became even more wary of her, which gave her a lot of headaches.

If she were to make a move under these circumstances, people would not be wary of her, but rather hate her.

Ning Rongrong's refusal made Yu Xiaogang frown. He knew that Ning Rongrong was doing it on purpose, but since the girl had already come up with that kind of excuse, what could he say?

Turning his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing beside Ning Rongrong, Yu Xiaogang decisively looked away and selected other personnel to fight.

Zhu Zhuqing is the most difficult to command in the team, and she has even refused my guidance on several occasions.

Moreover, given his aloof nature, he would definitely not make a move against a support-type Soul Master. Even if he asked, he would only be rejected, and the other party wouldn't even bother to give a reason.

That would be even more embarrassing for me; I'd rather find someone else.

Their gazes shifted to Oscar, another support-type Soul Master in the group. However, upon seeing the healing staff in Jiang Zhu's hand, Oscar decisively took a step back, using Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai's figures to conceal himself, subtly indicating that he did not want to fight.

Although they are all support-type Soul Masters with weapon-type Martial Souls, and they have reached the Soul Emperor level with the help of Tang San's immortal herbs, the problem is that their Martial Souls are sausages, and they have no combat power at all.

Their healing scepter is so big, it's quite destructive just to swing it. You'd better not go looking for trouble.

Of course, you could fly into the sky using mushroom sausages, but the problem is that this battle requires victory, and flying in the sky for a whole day would be of no use at all.

Yu Xiaogang saw through Oscar's thoughts and realized that Oscar was no good, so he could only turn his attention to Xiao Wu.

The only remaining choices are Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu is also a girl and much younger than Jiang Zhu. If she wins, Yu Shi Sui will likely have nothing to say.

However, just as Yu Xiaogang was about to ask Xiao Wu to fight, Jiangzhu's healing scepter suddenly burst out with green flames, which spread rapidly like liquid, enveloping her entire body and forming a green soul garment similar to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's Zixia Soul Garment.

This unexpected turn of events caught Yu Xiaogang's attention, and his expression turned serious. He didn't speak rashly, but instead looked at his friend Flander.

"That flame is not simple; it probably has more than just healing effects."

After sensing it, Flander secretly used his soul power to transmit a message, vaguely discerning the danger emanating from the flames.

"Ma Hongjun, step forward!"

Understanding Flander's meaning, Yu Xiaogang decisively asked Ma Hongjun to step forward.

Ma Hongjun did not refuse, and walked out with a gloomy little chubby face.

He no longer had the same infatuation with Jiangzhu as he had a year ago. The main reason was that he had pursued and confessed his feelings to her countless times over the past year, but each time he was rejected without mercy.

He even complained to Jadeite and Qin Ming multiple times, causing Qin Ming to be criticized in public.

Ma Hongjun is a respectable person, and he cares about his reputation.

What he resented most was that he had offended Tang San and Xiao Wu because of this bitch, and had also made an enemy of Xiao Lang. The thought of being targeted by a prodigy made his heart tremble with regret and anger.

It's all that bitch's fault!

"Poisoned by the Phoenix!"

Ma Hongjun was too lazy to follow the proper self-introduction. He directly possessed his Martial Soul and activated his second and third Soul Rings to amplify the Phoenix Flame.

He even revealed his three external soul bones, and the scorpion tail soul bone that had regrown behind him aimed its hook at Jiang Zhu, decisively unleashing a pillar of phoenix fire.

This decisive move took everyone by surprise. Before they could react, Jiangzhu's body was engulfed by a huge pillar of fire.

"You brat, are you crazy!"

Flander was startled and cursed angrily. He quickly turned to look at the jade marrow beside him. He was slightly relieved when he found that the jade marrow was calm. Then he became curious.

Jadeite's reaction clearly indicates that it has a plan in mind. Could it be that Crimson Pearl can withstand Red Jun's Phoenix Fire Pillar, or even win?

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were also anxious, but after seeing that Huang Yuan and Jing Ling on the other side looked normal, they also realized that something was wrong.

Could it be that Senior Sister Jiangzhu, like herself, has cultivated powerful combat abilities as a support-type Soul Master?
