Chapter 243: Shocking the Audience, Bibi Dong's Discovery!
Buzz!
As soon as Su Yun finished speaking, Tang San's clothes began to flutter even though there was no wind. A jet-black Clear Sky Hammer, exuding boundless killing intent, appeared in his hand. Simultaneously, six black soul rings emerged one by one from his feet, instantly covering the entire area with the oppressive aura of his martial soul!
"Six... six black ten-thousand-year soul rings?!"
"Is this the power of the young master of the Clear Sky Clan?!"
"Tang San has already reached the level of a Soul Emperor?!"
"He clearly has only six soul rings, but why does he give me the feeling of someone beyond the Soul Emperor level?"
"Are you blind? Can't you see those six black ten-thousand-year soul rings? How could an ordinary soul master have a ten-thousand-year soul ring as their first ring?"
Bibi Dong squinted slightly, noticing that Tang San had mastered the cultivation method for his second martial soul.
Her gaze then fell on Su Yun, who appeared utterly relaxed, which eased her concerns.
Today, no matter what, Tang San must die!
Even Bibi Dong, who often disagreed with the Grand Priest Qian Daoliu, shared the same opinion on this matter. If Tang San were allowed to continue his cultivation, he would inevitably threaten the future of the Spirit Hall.
"Su Yun, it was because of you that I couldn't inherit my mother's martial soul," Tang San said, his voice filled with pain. "Two years ago, because of your secret provocations, even my mother's clan turned against me and treated me like an enemy!" His eyes locked onto Su Yun's face, bloodshot with fury.
"Everything the Spirit Hall has done to me, I've remembered it all!"
"Today, I will use the Clear Sky Hammer my father left me to show you what pain is!"
Boom!
Tang San stomped the ground hard, turning into a blue lightning bolt charging towards Su Yun!
Ever since he specialized in the Clear Sky Hammer, he had followed in his father's footsteps, focusing on a path of pure strength. With the foundation of Mysterious Heaven Skill and his relentless training, Tang San's physical strength was incredibly formidable.
When he swung the Clear Sky Hammer, it seemed as if the sound of fabric tearing filled the air.
This sound was caused by the immense power and speed of the Clear Sky Hammer creating friction in the air.
In this strike, Tang San didn't use any soul skills, relying solely on his soul power and his unique Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to test Su Yun's current strength, preparing for the upcoming battle.
It's essential to know that Tang San was an expert in hidden weapons from another world.
Aside from the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and his identity as the Sea God's heir, his skill with hidden weapons, honed over many years, was also a crucial part of his strength.
"What a terrifying strike!"
"This hammer could probably overwhelm even some Soul Emperors with defensive martial souls."
"Is this the power of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?"
"Don't forget the six ten-thousand-year soul rings on Tang San. Even without using soul skills, those rings provide substantial enhancements to his body. I bet that among those of the same rank, barely a handful could withstand a single blow from this young master of the Clear Sky Clan."
"I wonder how the Spirit Hall's Holy Son, Su Yun, will respond."
"Hey, Su Yun surpassed the Soul Emperor level two years ago. Who knows what his current strength is?"
"Although Su Yun's soul power is high, his previous soul rings don't compare to Tang San's."
Amidst the chatter, Tang San had already reached Su Yun, his hammer smashing down with unstoppable force. If it hit, Su Yun would be severely injured if not killed.
"Specializing in the Clear Sky Hammer? Afraid of being restrained by my martial soul?" Su Yun smirked as Tang San approached.
Tang San replied coldly, "Since I know I'll be restrained, I naturally chose another path. As long as I can defeat you and avenge my parents and teacher, it's enough!"
"Die!"
The hammer roared, as if it would crush the entire platform to dust!
"Just this hammer? Not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!" Su Yun laughed, "Blue Silver Divine Tree!"
With a low shout, countless intertwining golden and green lights representing life force emerged on the platform.
A towering Blue Silver Divine Tree, tens of meters high, suddenly stood on the stage, blocking out the sky.
"First soul skill, Blue Silver Flying Leaves!"
Amid the astonished gazes of tens of thousands, a downpour of Blue Silver Flying Leaves descended.
"Not good!" Tang San's heart skipped a beat at the sight. He had suffered from this move before, knowing that even one leaf could slow him down, leading to a chain of control that would leave him defenseless.
He knew he had to retreat and distance himself from Su Yun.
But Tang San was no longer the same as before. Constant evasion was futile. He used his Purple Demon Eyes to observe the golden-green rain while calculating the distance and angles between himself and Su Yun.
"With my soul power from six ten-thousand-year soul rings, using the techniques of Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation on the Clear Sky Hammer is more than enough." Tang San's proud Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation techniques, previously used on light weapons, were designed for silence, lightness, portability, and lethality.
Using these techniques on a heavy weapon would usually diminish their effectiveness.
However, after years of hard training on Sea God Island, Tang San could now use the Bat Wing Reincarnation technique from Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation to control the Clear Sky Hammer for long-range attacks.
"Go!" Tang San smirked coldly, retreating as his waist, shoulders, arms, wrists, and fingers transmitted continuous force, hurling the thousand-pound Clear Sky Hammer with all his might.
He then agilely dodged Su Yun's first soul skill on the stage.
Seeing Tang San's impressive agility, Tang Chen and others nodded slightly.
"It seems his training on Sea God Island paid off." Tang Chen smiled, holding Bo Saixi's hand tightly.
Bo Saixi smiled, "It's his hard work and talent. Entering a state of self-forgetfulness for training, it's no wonder he's so strong."
On the other side, Qian Daoliu glanced at Tang Chen and Bo Saixi holding hands and sighed before turning back to the stage.
He knew Su Yun had not yet shown his true strength.
"My god, is Tang San's movement technique really this strong? The Holy Son Su Yun's attack almost covered the entire platform, yet Tang San managed to avoid even a single leaf touching him! How did he do that?"
A powerful soul master observed and explained calmly, "It's simple. You need three things: swift movements, exceptional eyesight, and calm judgment."
"Tang San's movement technique is clearly specially trained and extremely suited for dodging in a confined space. This platform, which limits their battle range, is perfect for him."
"To find points to dodge in what seems like a seamless rain of leaves, exceptional eyesight and calm judgment are indispensable."
"No wonder he's a descendant of the Clear Sky Clan."
"After decades, the Clear Sky Clan has re-emerged, proving it's still the most powerful clan on the continent."
Those listening nodded slightly in agreement.
"Look! Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer can turn in mid-air?!"
Someone screamed, drawing everyone's attention back to the stage. They saw the Clear Sky Hammer, after being dodged by Su Yun, returning towards him at a peculiar angle and speed, like a boomerang.
"I've heard the Clear Sky Hammer weighs at least several hundred pounds, and for a Soul Emperor level, it's even over a thousand pounds!"
"How is he doing this? How can he make such a heavy weapon return?"
Everyone was astonished by Tang San's technique, including those from the Spirit Hall. Some of the elders of the Spirit Hall, familiar with the Clear Sky Hammer, had never seen anyone from the Clear Sky Clan wield it in this manner.
Seeing the Pope and the Grand Priest remain expressionless, they dared not speak but quietly watched the stage.
"Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation, Bat Wing Reincarnation?" Su Yun noticed the peculiar nature of the Clear Sky Hammer and smiled. His wrist shimmered, and a bright silver spear shot out like a white serpent. Su Yun's arm burst with power, striking the Clear Sky Hammer fiercely.
Boom!
Su Yun took several steps back.
The Clear Sky Hammer landed steadily in Tang San's hand, but he too staggered back a step.
"Did you calculate all of this?" Su Yun was surprised that Tang San had even calculated the force of his counterattack.
Tang San narrowed his eyes. "I thought your martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, not known for strength."
"I thought I had overestimated you with my attack, but it seems I still underestimated you, Su Yun."
"I wonder how much your spear skills have improved."
Su Yun pointed his spear down, twirling it. "A single skill mastered can take you anywhere. Defeating you is more than enough."
Tang San sneered, "Still as arrogant as ever. Let's see your current strength!"
Buzz!
The first ten-thousand-year soul ring on Tang San's body lit up! The next second, the dark light on his Clear Sky Hammer grew even stronger!
"First soul skill, Titan's Hammer!"
Tang San's first soul ring was obtained by killing a Titan Giant Ape. Although it wasn't the same as the one in the original story, the strength it provided was immense.
As the first soul ring lit up, the entire platform began to tremble.
"My first soul skill can harness the power of the earth, even if only for a moment, it's enough to give you a hard time." Tang San spoke in a voice only he and Su Yun could hear before swinging his hammer towards Su Yun.
Boom!
The power from the Clear Sky Hammer created a crack in the platform. The force seemed to transform into an underground dragon, shooting towards Su Yun.
"Nice idea, but useless against me." Su Yun sneered, stomping his foot. The Blue Silver Divine Tree summoned a forest, blocking the attack instantly.
At the same time, a voice emerged from within the forest, "Sixth soul skill, Blue Silver Spring and Autumn Barrier!"
Buzz.
A strange energy quickly spread out from the forest.
Hmm?
Tang San, who had undergone dual god inheritances, immediately sensed something off about Su Yun's sixth soul skill and quickly retreated.
Simultaneously, he activated his Killing God Domain! However, Su Yun's sixth soul skill had a vast range. Even though Tang San noticed the anomaly and chose to retreat, he was still caught within its scope.
"Hehe, I originally planned to play with you, but I changed my mind." Su Yun's voice came from within the forest as he stepped out, "I decided to show you what real power looks like."
"Just you?" Tang San was irritated by Su Yun's provocative tone.
Now, having inherited two god positions, he couldn't take Su Yun's words seriously and was about to unleash a soul skill.
The next second, his expression changed drastically.
He realized his soul power was flowing slower!
What's going on?!
Tang San was shocked. "I clearly didn't get hit by his first soul skill, so why is this happening?"
In Tang San's memory, only Su Yun's first soul skill could slow him down.
But now, in a completely safe position, how could this be...
Only a moment of confusion, and Tang San instantly understood.
A barrier!
It was Su Yun's sixth soul skill!
"Only now you realize?"
Su Yun's chilling laughter echoed, "You're lucky your Killing God Domain can temporarily shield you from my soul skill. Otherwise, you'd already be a skeleton."
Killing God Domain!
Tang San's eyes lit up. A surge of power inexplicably broke through Su Yun's slow-down restriction, releasing him.
This was the power given to him by the Asura God.
Though minimal, it had miraculous effects.
Asura God?!
On the stage, Bibi Dong finally sensed the familiar aura she had noticed on Tang San.
How could this Tang San possess the power of the Asura God?!
Bibi Dong remained outwardly calm, but her inner thoughts were turbulent.
Could it be that Tang San has two god inheritances?!
...
"Su Yun, do you know why people like you lose?"
"It's because you think you've won and then you talk too much."
"Today, I will show you what godly power is."
The next second, Tang San took out a water-blue object from his pocket—
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!
