Sun Sheng's Might, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer

Sun Sheng's mouth curled slightly, revealing a look of arrogance and ruthlessness.

"But even so, you didn't have to cripple them," Tang San said, somewhat angrily.

Sun Sheng's madness had disappointed him too much.

He never expected Sun Sheng to be such an extreme person.

"The victor is king, the loser a bandit!"

"They deserved it."

"Tang San, come on, no more talk. Let me see just how strong you really are."

Sun Sheng licked the corner of his mouth, revealing an arrogant and crazed expression.

By now, surging battle intent had already filled his eyes.

"Then let's do this."

Seeing that no matter what he said, Sun Sheng wouldn't listen, Tang San had no choice but to defeat him.

"First Soul Skill: Entanglement!"

Tang San struck first, immediately releasing his Blue Silver Grass martial soul and lighting up his first soul ring. Vines covered in poisonous thorns snaked forward.

Sun Sheng watched the vines winding toward him and sneered disdainfully.

He swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand and smashed it into the approaching vines.

This time, he activated two soul skills—Hundredfold Amplification and Armor Break. One strike of the staff carried immense force, shattering the vines into pieces on the spot.

Seeing this, Tang San's expression shifted dramatically.

His first soul ring came from a Mandala Snake, and the vines were extremely tough—not something an ordinary weapon soul master could snap so easily.

He hadn't expected Sun Sheng's staff strike to be this powerful. He had clearly underestimated him.

This scene was witnessed by everyone below the stage, their faces filled with disbelief.

And Xiao Wu, watching from below, grew even more anxious.

"Tang San, if you're still holding back, you'll be the one to lose."

After breaking his first soul skill, Sun Sheng felt a surge of excitement. He lifted his staff and charged forward at full speed.

In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Tang San, swinging the Ruyi Jingu Bang down without hesitation.

Feeling the force of the incoming staff, Tang San was startled. He immediately activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, turning into a blur as he dodged easily, then circled behind Sun Sheng and struck out with a palm.

His hands were now as cold as jade, as hard as stone, and packed with immense power, infused with the vast Mystic Heaven Inner Power.

Sun Sheng seemed to have anticipated this. He spun around abruptly, swinging the Ruyi Jingu Bang and generating a fierce gust of wind.

The reason for his quick reflexes was largely thanks to the muscle memory built from challenging Liu Long ninety-nine times before.

Coupled with the Million-Year Spirit Ring, his evolved martial soul, and the boost from his Twin Martial Souls, he could rely on his own formidable physique to clash with Tang San, who was now using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Seeing Sun Sheng react so quickly and the staff's wind so fierce, Tang San quickly withdrew his palm and retreated, unwilling to engage head-on.

His Mystic Jade Hand was incredibly hard—capable of catching iron Hidden Weapons with one hand.

But Sun Sheng's staff strike was too powerful; he didn't dare test it.

Boom!

Sun Sheng's staff missed its target and slammed into the arena floor, directly creating a massive crater.

The floor was made of Bluestone, indestructible. Even a strong-attack-type Soul Elder couldn't have made such a large crater.

That alone showed just how devastating Sun Sheng's strike was.

Hiss...

When the crowd below saw the power of that strike, they all drew in a sharp breath.

Just how much strength did it take to unleash such terrifying force?

No wonder Liu Long and Boss Xiao had been defeated in a single blow.

With a strike like that, even a three-ring Soul Elder couldn't easily withstand it.

"Third Brother, be careful."

Seeing how formidable Sun Sheng was, Xiao Wu clasped her hands together, silently praying for Tang San, beginning to worry for him.

Sun Sheng's strength had completely exceeded her expectations.

"Seal! Crush!"

Sun Sheng didn't dare underestimate Tang San's Tang Sect Skills. He immediately unleashed the four soul skills of his Million-Year Spirit Ring and swung his staff.

Tang San saw him coming again and once more activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, trying to dodge.

But he suddenly felt a powerful restraining force pressing down on him, severely limiting his movement.

And that force came from Sun Sheng's martial soul.

Obviously, this was most likely a soul skill attached to the soul ring, or a characteristic of the martial soul.

But Tang San still leaned toward it being a martial soul trait, just like his Clear Sky Hammer, which naturally carried a suppressive effect.

Under the pressure, Tang San had no choice but to rapidly circulate his Mystic Heaven Skill, hoping to use the strength of his inner energy to shake it off.

Yet he still underestimated the bindings on him; no matter how he struggled, he couldn't make any move.

Left with no other option, he had to summon his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.

Hum!

Suddenly, a heavy, oppressive aura emerged.

A pitch-black hammer appeared in his hand.

The hammer handle was about half a foot long, the head a cylinder, and around that cylindrical hammerhead coiled a faint pattern, like a miniature forging hammer.

Though this black iron hammer was small, it was the number one tool martial soul on the Douluo Continent, the bane of all power-type martial souls.

And the bindings on Tang San were released the moment the Clear Sky Hammer appeared.

The Clear Sky Hammer!

Tang San, you've finally brought out the Clear Sky Hammer.

Let me see just how impressive the Douluo Continent's number one tool martial soul really is.

Is your hammer stronger, or is my Golden Cudgel the better one?

Sun Sheng grew even more excited the moment he saw the Clear Sky Hammer.

The aura around him intensified.

He brought his staff down with a strike, majestic and overwhelming, sweeping all before it.

Heavens!

What am I seeing?

Is this hammer also Tang San's martial soul?

Could Tang San be the legendary Twin Martial Souls!

The moment Tang San released the Clear Sky Hammer, everyone present was stunned, utterly shocked, mouths agape, unable to speak for a long moment.

Boom!

Sun Sheng's staff crashed onto the Clear Sky Hammer, unleashing a violent shockwave like rolling waves surging outward.

Everyone watching from below the arena was forced back several meters by the blast.

And the terrifying force sent both Sun Sheng and Tang San stumbling backward.

But Sun Sheng only retreated three steps, while Tang San took five.

Clearly, in that exchange, Sun Sheng had the upper hand.

Impossible!

How could Sun Sheng possess such overwhelming strength?

Even the Clear Sky Hammer couldn't gain any advantage, falling behind.

Tang San felt his numb hands and was secretly alarmed.

Sun Sheng's formidable combat power had completely exceeded his expectations.

Terrifying force, extraordinary physique, powerful martial soul.

No matter which angle, Tang San couldn't gain any edge or seize any advantage.

This was the strongest opponent he had ever faced.

Even his Clear Sky Hammer struggled to withstand Sun Sheng's martial soul.

It showed just how monstrous Sun Sheng was at this moment.

"Awesome!"

"As expected of Tang San—let's go again!"

Sun Sheng grew even more excited after witnessing the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

A boiling, violent aura radiated from him, as if it wasn't truly his own.

If anyone looked closely, a faint ape-like phantom appeared behind Sun Sheng.

And that violent aura came from that phantom.

Indeed, Sun Sheng was now in a state of exhilaration.

This state came from his Second Martial Soul, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong—the unique ability of the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

This ability was similar to a soul skill, allowing Sun Sheng to unleash two hundred percent of his combat power.

Anyone who had read Journey to the West knew that Sun Wukong was a great being who loved to compete and reveled in battle.

Otherwise, the Tathagata Buddha would never have granted him the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha.

This was his instinct.

"Twin Martial Souls!"
