Clear Sky Hammer

An endless Extreme Cold Storm poured forth from the Ice Phoenix Phantom behind Shui Bing'er, instantly engulfing the Arena. The biting chill even spread outward, making the entire Grand Arena feel the cold.

"So powerful!"

At the sight of this, Huo Wushuang immediately rose to his feet, staring in shock at Shui Bing'er, whose figure on the Arena had already been blurred by the wind and snow.

Beside Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu said in surprise, "She actually has a fourth Soul Skill with such tremendous offensive power?"

Before this, Huo Wu had always thought Shui Bing'er was strong in control but weak in offense.

After all, Shui Bing'er's first three Soul Skills—Ice Seal, Frost Armor, and Resisting Ice Ring—were all exceptional in terms of effect, but they possessed little offensive power and required support from teammates.

However, after witnessing Shui Bing'er's fourth Soul Skill, Huo Wu instantly changed her mind. In terms of offensive power, Shui Bing'er's move was even stronger than her Huo Wu's Blazing Sun. If that did not count as offensive power, then there were barely any Soul Masters on the continent with strong attacks.

"A very powerful offensive move."

In Shrek's area, Flender's expression immediately turned grave upon seeing the attack Shui Bing'er had unleashed.

There were actually so many monsters in this tournament. It seemed Shrek still had a long and difficult road ahead if they wanted to win the championship.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded as well. "It truly is powerful. Combined with her first three Soul Skills—Ice Seal, Frost Armor, and Resisting Ice Ring—she is practically perfect as a control-type Soul Master."

Repeated instant-cast group control, group shielding, large-scale unrestricted knockback and blocking, plus a high-damage area-of-effect ultimate—she had control, defense, and damage. She could be called a perfectly well-rounded fighter.

"However..."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly paused, then changed his tone. "Against ordinary Soul Masters, there would indeed be no problem. But unfortunately, she encountered Xiao San."

Not long after Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the wind and snow on the Arena abruptly vanished. A blue figure was sent flying backward from the Arena—it was Shui Bing'er!

Just as Shui Bing'er was about to hit the ground, a figure suddenly appeared and caught her in his arms.

This unexpected scene left everyone present stunned for a moment, but the Referee quickly reacted and confirmed the result of the battle.

At the same time, Shui Wuchen lowered his head and asked Shui Bing'er in his arms, "Little sister, are you all right?"

To be honest, Shui Bing'er's defeat had somewhat exceeded his expectations. Shui Bing'er's fourth Soul Skill had been obtained when he took her to the Frozen Forest to hunt a five-thousand-year Extreme Cold Ice Bird.

It was precisely because he had witnessed the power of Shui Bing'er's fourth Soul Skill that Shui Wuchen had resolved to hunt an Extreme Cold Ice Bird for his own sixth Soul Ring.

Hearing her brother's concerned question, Shui Bing'er felt warmth fill her heart. She shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm fine. It just seems that my attack had no effect on Tang San."

She had fallen from the Arena because Tang San had endured her fourth Soul Skill and come directly before her to launch an attack.

Even now, Shui Bing'er still could not understand why Tang San had been able to ignore the fourth Soul Skill she regarded as her trump card and attack her.

"Your attack had no effect?"

Shui Wuchen was slightly taken aback.

Given the strength of Shui Bing'er's fourth Soul Skill, even a Soul King could not possibly ignore it. Only a Soul Emperor might have been able to do so.

But Shui Wuchen had not sensed Soul Power fluctuations at the Soul Emperor level just now. Clearly, Tang San had not reached that level.

"Wait, could it be..."

Shui Wuchen's eyes flashed as he thought of a possibility.

Then, the Ice Wings on Shui Wuchen's back trembled, and he swiftly flew to Skywater Academy's area while carrying Shui Bing'er.

"Dean, I'll leave Bing'er to you for now!"

Shui Wuchen handed Shui Bing'er to Shui Yueruo as he spoke.

Shui Yueruo took Shui Bing'er and nodded. "Don't worry. Shui Bing'er will be fine."

"Brother, I'm not seriously injured."

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er said with some dissatisfaction.

She had merely been caught off guard and knocked off the Arena by Tang San's attack. Why were they acting as though she had suffered severe injuries?

Shui Wuchen rubbed Shui Bing'er's head. "Be good and get some rest."

After saying that, Shui Wuchen turned and flew toward the Arena.

When Tang San saw Shui Wuchen step onto the Arena, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "You finally decided to come up. I thought you were going to keep hiding until the finals."

"It seems you're quite confident!"

Shui Wuchen raised a brow after hearing Tang San's words, surprised by Tang San's apparent fearlessness.

After all, although he had yet to reveal his full strength, the strength he had displayed alone was enough to drive Soul Masters who were merely Soul Ancestors into despair.

Yet Tang San faced him as though he had nothing to fear. This further confirmed Shui Wuchen's earlier speculation.

If a Soul Ancestor did not possess that kind of ability, it would have been impossible for him to display such confidence before Shui Wuchen.

"Of course!"

Tang San said decisively, "If I had no confidence, why would I stand before you again?"

"Then let me see exactly where your confidence comes from!"

As Shui Wuchen spoke, more than a hundred spinning Ice Cones condensed around him. With a wave of his right hand, they poured down like a torrential storm.

"Just as I thought!"

Below the Arena, Feng Xiaotian revealed an expression of confirmation when he saw this.

But then a trace of envy rose in Feng Xiaotian's heart. When it came to Self-Created Soul Skills, his talent was far inferior to Shui Wuchen's.

"Wait, that's..."

At that moment, waves of startled cries erupted around him. Feng Xiaotian hurriedly looked toward the Arena and saw Tang San's body moving like a ghost, continuously weaving through the spinning Ice Cones. A pitch-black hammer had also appeared in his hand.

After Feng Xiaotian clearly saw the hammer in Tang San's hand, his expression changed slightly. "The Clear Sky Hammer?!!"

The Clear Sky Hammer was the inherited Martial Soul of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect on the continent. It was known as the world's foremost tool-type Martial Soul.

And the appearance of the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand meant that Tang San was a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Wait, isn't Tang San's Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass? Why has the Clear Sky Hammer appeared? Could he have Twin Martial Souls?"

At this moment, stormy waves surged through Feng Xiaotian's heart. The emergence of the Clear Sky Hammer was already outrageous enough, yet this person actually possessed Twin Martial Souls. It seemed another bloody storm would soon sweep across the continent.

At the same time, Tang San finally rushed before Shui Wuchen. A purple Soul Ring emerged, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand instantly grew larger before smashing viciously toward Shui Wuchen.

"Shui Wuchen, taste the power of my Clear Sky Hammer!"
