Ye Wen's punch hadn't shattered it.
Actually, Hu Yanli had been pretty nervous just moments ago, too. Seeing Ye Wen's terrifying Aura, he hadn't been sure his shield could hold up. Now that it had, he immediately grew smug. "Hahaha!"
"Our Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul is one of the top defensive Martial Souls on the continent! My defense is practically invincible among Soul Elders! You can't break through it!"
"Heh, it's pretty good, I'll give you that. If my fists can't break it, let's try a hammer." Ye Wen sneered. The next moment, he called out, "Second Soul Skill: Deep Sea Demonic Hammer!"
Bang!
A deep-blue hammer wreathed in terrifying energy appeared in Ye Wen's hand. He gave a wicked grin, hefted the hammer, and charged forward.
"Oh, crap!"
Hu Yanli's heart lurched. He hurriedly poured Soul Power into his shield.

The next moment, the entire diamond shield shattered into countless fragments that fell to the ground.
"What!!!"
Hu Yanli's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it. "H-how is that possible?!"
"Hu Yanli's shield shattered!"
"That kid actually broke Hu Yanli's shield!"
"Holy crap! He's incredible!!!"
"Nothing's impossible. Hu Yanli, now it's your turn to take a beating."
Seeing Ye Wen's icy expression as he slowly swung back his terrifying hammer, Hu Yanli's face filled with utter terror.
"Second Soul Skill: Mammoth Giant Strength!"
Hu Yanli activated his Soul Skill to block Ye Wen's hammer blow. Their powers clashed again, but the difference in strength was simply too great.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Hu Yanli let out a pig-like squeal
