Seeing the Hammer Martial Soul Again

"The two-versus-two soul battle is about to begin," Xiao Xue said, pulling Xiao Yan's arm as they ran towards the two-versus-two battle arena.

Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie. "It's starting? Let's hurry."

He'd only just gotten some ideas about martial skills. Whether he could cultivate them to become truly powerful still needed careful consideration. It wasn't something he could figure out in an instant.

The two-versus-two soul battle arena was more than twice the size of the one-versus-one arena, as the addition of two Soul Masters required more space for their abilities.

At this moment, the host on the stage was announcing the Soul Master combinations.

"The fifth match of the two-versus-two, the Iron Blood Duo versus the Yan Xue Duo."

Shaking off the distractions from the previous battle, Xiao Yan focused his attention on his two opponents.

The two men looked like brothers in their twenties. They had similar appearances, with round eyes and a powerful build. Their thick arms made Xiao Yan guess that their martial souls were heavy weapons.

Although surprised that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue were so young, the brothers of the Iron Blood Duo didn't underestimate them. After a moment of shock, they regained their composure.

Thick gray light surged from their right hands, and identical weapons appeared in their grasp.

Seeing their martial souls, Xiao Yan frowned. "Hammer martial souls?"

The Iron Blood Duo's hammers naturally weren't Clear Sky Hammers, but they were much larger than ordinary forging hammers, with extremely fine lines on the hammerheads.

Both men had two hundred-year-level yellow soul rings, rotating regularly.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue didn't rush to attack. Once they did, the brothers wouldn't have a chance to act.

If they wanted to see the other's soul skills, they naturally had to let them show off.

Seeing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue weren't moving, the first soul rings on Tie Long and Tie Hu lit up simultaneously, and they charged towards Xiao Yan with heavy steps.

Xiao Xue was gracefully slender, and the two men found it awkward to target her directly. They decided to defeat Xiao Yan first, and then deal with the girl. Perhaps they wouldn't even need to fight to make her concede.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, wielded their hammers, shielding themselves and rapidly closing in. They were about to reach Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue.

A tremor-type attack, somewhat similar to the 'Tremor' technique of the Clear Sky Nine Secrets.

Xiao Yan made a grabbing motion in the air, and the Blue Silver Emperor immediately condensed into a hammer of similar size, over a meter long, with a blend of blue and gold.

With a wave of his arm, he unleashed the 'Tremor' technique from the Clear Sky Nine Secrets.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's use of this martial soul, Tie Long and Tie Hu were momentarily stunned, but they quickly recovered and amplified their power to its maximum.

The three hammers collided. The immense force traveled along the hammer handles and into the arms of the Tie Long brothers. Even though they were strong from years of blacksmithing, they almost couldn't hold onto the handles.

Xiao Yan pressed down with force, and Tie Long and Tie Hu immediately struggled to hold their ground, being pushed back several meters.

Their combat experience was extremely rich, and they didn't fall into a slump.

The two of them looked at each other, suddenly roared, and swung their hammers with both hands, spinning them quickly for a full circle. Their second soul rings flashed. The two huge iron hammers actually broke free from their hands and smashed towards Xiao Yan together.

This was their second soul skill, All or Nothing.

The hammers created a piercing whistling sound as they flew through the air, and the air around them buzzed.

Under the cover of gray light, the volume of the two hammers suddenly doubled. Even before they got close, one could already feel the terrifying attack power attached to them.

Even a Soul Venerable-level Soul Master would be seriously injured if hit by these hammers.

"Why are you only attacking Brother Xiao Yan? Isn't Xiao Xue strong enough?"

Xiao Xue stomped her feet angrily to the side. Her puffy little face turned red from anger, making her look adorable.

Xiao Yan suppressed his laughter and stomped his foot on the ground. Power surged from the ground, up his legs, directly to his waist, and then to his arms. Even though he was holding a hammer condensed from the Blue Silver Emperor, he still unleashed a powerful blue force.

Xiao Yan was using the 'Break' technique from the Clear Sky Nine Secrets, combining force to break through with incredible speed.

The blue force collided with the two gray, shiny hammers, immediately producing a muffled sound like thunder.

With a clang, the two hammers flew back into the air and slammed heavily in front of Tie Long and Tie Hu, followed by a loud boom.

The heavy hammer Martial Souls smashed into the solid Dou Soul Arena, creating two large, sunken pits.

Looking at the Martial Souls that had fallen in front of them, Tie Long and Tie Hu's mouths hung open.

A useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass could create such a powerful hammer?

No, it was this person who used some kind of hammer technique.

This hammer technique could actually contend with their second Soul Skill! Truly powerful!

Tie Long said, "Young brother, we admit defeat."

Xiao Yan looked at the hammer condensed from the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, and thought to himself, "This Clear Sky Nine Secrets is really effective against hammer Martial Souls!"

Dispelling the Blue Silver Emperor hammer, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue walked off the Soul Arena.

After interacting with the genius Soul Masters for the past two days, Xiao Yan gained a clearer understanding of Beast Martial Soul Soul Masters and Tool Martial Soul Soul Masters.

Beast Martial Soul Soul Masters, after the Martial Soul is attached to the body, their strength, speed, and physical defense would instantly receive a significant boost.

Tool Martial Soul Soul Masters were different. Whether it was the auxiliary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or the strong-attack hammer Martial Soul from earlier, neither directly provided any benefits to the Soul Master.

Only by releasing Soul Skills, or using self-created Soul Skills like Tang Hao did, could they unleash powerful might.

Otherwise, a Tool Martial Soul was just a Tool Martial Soul, with generally limited power.

This was also why some people believed that Beast Martial Souls were stronger than Tool Martial Souls.

However, Xiao Yan believed that the strength of the two types of Martial Souls ultimately depended on their quality and the Soul Master's own efforts.

The quality of the Martial Soul determined the lower limit of cultivation, while the Soul Master's own efforts determined the upper limit.

With the Clear Sky Nine Secrets, Tang Hao's power was quite impressive, even though he didn't use many Soul Skills early on.

Suddenly, an idea struck Xiao Yan, and he couldn't help but chuckle. If such a combination could be realized, it would be hilarious.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what are you laughing at? It's supposed to be a two-on-two, and Xiao Xue hasn't even made a move yet?" Xiao Xue couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, alright, next time, next time you can take on two by yourself," Xiao Yan comforted, and then voiced the idea that was on his mind.

"I was just thinking, if someone like Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect used her Martial Soul to provide support for herself, and if she also wielded a big hammer and learned the Clear Sky Nine Secrets, I wonder what kind of power she would have?"

Xiao Xue also couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Brother Xiao Yan, what's going on in your head? How could a girl like Rongrong use a big, black hammer?"

I owe more and more. ┭┮﹏┭┮
