A Spear Defeated Tang Hao—What Makes a Peerless Genius

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen on the High Platform both stood up when they saw this scene, their faces filled with astonishment as they gazed at Yun Yuan below.

"This is... the embryonic form of an Intent Realm?! How is this possible?!"

Intent Realm was a level above Intent, a realm that only High-Rank Soul Masters could reach.

Yet now, they had actually seen it in a youngster who had only just awakened his Martial Soul. Even if it was merely an embryonic form, it was still enough to leave them shaken.

The next moment, Qian Daoliu burst into laughter and looked smugly at Tang Chen beside him.

"Brother Tang, what do you think of my Spirit Hall's genius?"

To comprehend the embryonic form of an Intent Realm at such a young age—so long as he did not fall, reaching the realm of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen was certain!

He might even advance another level and reach the God Realm that even they could not touch. It was not impossible.

With such a genius falling into their Spirit Hall, their Spirit Hall's Luck was truly flourishing. Qian Daoliu dared to guarantee that for the next several hundred years, the Soul Master World would be suppressed by the youngster below holding the long spear.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's smug words, Tang Chen could no longer smile. The contrast between his expression now and his earlier burst of laughter was like heaven and earth.

He had thought that with Tang Hao, a super genius, the Clear Sky Sect would rise to another level under his leadership in the future.

But it seemed that Spirit Hall had an even more talented Soul Master, and he was living in the same era as Tang Hao.

"Hao'er, the road ahead will be difficult."

After sighing inwardly, Tang Chen put those thoughts aside and slowly sat down, his gaze fixed on the two people below who were about to clash.

Qian Xunji, standing beside Qian Daoliu, saw Tang Chen's expression and the corners of his lips lifted slightly, revealing a smile.

Yun Yuan truly lived up to being his most prized Disciple. After his Epiphany just now, he had actually comprehended the embryonic form of an Intent Realm.

Then, would it still be far before he stepped into the Intent Realm?

Below, Tang Hao sensed the powerful Spear Intent erupting from Yun Yuan. His mind was immediately shaken, and the Clear Sky Hammer he was swinging in his hands stalled as well.

At that moment.

The Spear Intent Yun Yuan had been building reached its peak. It was time for the long spear to break through his enemy.

"First Soul Skill, Wind Chasing Lightning!"

As Yun Yuan's voice fell, the first Yellow Soul Ring on his body lit up, and Wind Thunder Power emerged from the shaft of his spear.

The amplification from his First Soul Skill, Wind Chasing Lightning, arrived as well. His spear speed increased by one hundred percent, while his own speed increased by fifty percent.

The might of the Atlas Spear rose another level, and its innate Armor Piercing and sharpness Intent firmly locked onto Tang Hao.

But it was not over yet. With a thought, Yun Yuan activated the Soul Bone Skill of his External Soul Bone—Wind and Thunder Instant Body.

Since he intended to defeat Tang Hao with one spear strike, Yun Yuan would give it his all. Although this was still not his full strength, Yun Yuan estimated that it was already enough.

After obtaining his First Soul Ring, his Heaven Gifted Talent had doubled. This meant that the strength of his Atlas Spear Martial Soul had also doubled. How terrifying was that?

The Atlas Spear had originally been a top-tier Martial Soul beneath God-level Martial Souls. With its strength doubled again, its power could be imagined.

At this moment, Tang Hao had yet to learn the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques. Relying solely on their Martial Souls, the Clear Sky Hammer was far inferior to the evolved Atlas Spear.

After Yun Yuan used Wind and Thunder Instant Body, his figure appeared before Tang Hao in the span of a thought, catching Tang Hao off guard.

Tang Hao was still shocked when the Atlas Spear, carrying the might of Qingtian in a single strike and seemingly capable of defeating any enemy, had already descended.

"So fast! So sharp! So overbearing!"

Only after sensing the might transmitted from the Atlas Spear at such close range did Tang Hao realize how powerful Yun Yuan's Martial Soul was. It was practically invincible.

Facing an attack from such close range, Tang Hao abruptly twisted his arm and rapidly changed the direction of the Clear Sky Hammer to block.

The next moment.

The incomparably sharp Atlas Spear, powerful enough to pierce through everything, collided with the Clear Sky Hammer. The sound of the collision rang throughout the entire Competition Platform.

The shockwaves produced by their collision sent massive amounts of dust billowing across the entire Competition Platform.

This scene also prevented the younger generations of Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect below the Competition Platform from seeing what was happening.

"Who won in the end?"

The group of geniuses stared intently at the Competition Platform, desperate to know who had won this clash.

Bibi Dong, standing beside the Competition Platform, was also jumping up and down, trying to see the situation clearly.

Their cultivation was too low, so they could not understand what had happened. However, the two Peerless Douluo on the High Platform—Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen—as well as Qian Xunji, a Title Douluo, could see the result of the collision at a glance.

Qian Xunji, standing beside Qian Daoliu, turned to look at Tang Chen, whose expression was unpleasant. He cupped his fists and revealed a delighted smile.

"Clear Sky Sect Master, I'm sorry. It seems that my Spirit Hall's genius is still a cut above."

After Qian Xunji finished speaking smugly, the dust on the Competition Platform below gradually dispersed, revealing Yun Yuan standing tall on the platform with the Atlas Spear in hand.

Tang Hao, meanwhile, was half-kneeling on the ground. One hand gripped the handle of the Clear Sky Hammer, while the other held his injured shoulder. He was panting heavily.

"Wonderful! Junior Brother won."

After seeing the truth, Bibi Dong planted her hands on her hips and turned toward the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect in the distance, immediately rubbing salt in their wounds.

"Big lugs, I told you, didn't I? My Junior Brother has Heaven Gifted Talent. You Mortals couldn't understand it. Do you believe me now?"

"Is this your Clear Sky Sect's genius? His Soul Power Level is twice yours, yet he still couldn't defeat my Junior Brother. I really don't know how you have the nerve to boast. I'm embarrassed for you."

Hearing this, the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect flushed red from Bibi Dong's taunts, unable to think of a rebuttal.

But Bibi Dong was not the only one gloating. The younger generation of Spirit Hall began mocking them one after another, leaving the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect too ashamed to raise their heads.

On the Competition Platform.

Yun Yuan, holding the Atlas Spear, gazed coldly at Tang Hao and spoke indifferently.

"Just now, you said that the geniuses of Spirit Hall were nothing special."

"Now I'll return your exact words to you. A Two Ring Soul Master was defeated by a One Ring Soul Master. In my eyes, your Clear Sky Sect's genius is nothing special either."

Hearing Yun Yuan's familiar taunt, Tang Hao, who cared deeply about his reputation, felt sweetness rise in his throat and directly spat out a mouthful of blood. His gaze toward Yun Yuan was filled with fury.

This brat has gone too far. One day, Tang Hao will repay this twice over!

After Tang Hao spat out that mouthful of blood, Tang Chen vanished from the High Platform in an instant and landed beside Tang Hao, helping his own Grandson to his feet.

"Hao'er, are you all right?"

Tang Chen cared for his Grandson immensely and feared that the slightest mishap might befall him.

At the same time, Tang Chen glanced at Yun Yuan, a trace of displeasure hidden deep in his eyes.

Tang Chen had not deliberately targeted Yun Yuan with that glance, but how terrifying was a Peerless Douluo? Even a casual look was enough to make Yun Yuan, who was currently only a Soul Master, break into a cold sweat down his back. He did not dare meet Tang Chen's gaze.

"How terrifying. Peerless Douluo are truly terrifying!"

Tang Chen's gaze came quickly and left just as quickly. Soon, Yun Yuan escaped the feeling of being plunged into an icy cavern.

But this made Yun Yuan's pursuit of power burn even more fiercely. Sooner or later, he would become stronger than Tang Chen!
