Huo Wu Playing with Fire and Getting Burned, the Clear Sky Hammer Forced into the World!

The Elite Tournament of Advanced Spirit Master Academies continued to rage on with intense fervor.

Thanks to that stunning victory against the Elephant Armor Sect, the World Burial Team (Heaven Dou Team One) had become the overwhelming favorite to win the championship. The name Yu Tianyu had become a deity in the dreams of countless young girls and a nightmare in the hearts of countless young men.

In the corridor of the rest area.

Yu Tianyu was leading his team members toward the preparation area.

Two groups of people approached from the opposite direction.

On the left was a group of youths dressed in cyan uniforms. The leader was tall and slender, wearing a mask, though his eyes drifted toward the right from time to time. It was none other than the captain of Kamikaze Academy, Feng Xiaotian.

On the right was a group of students in fiery red uniforms, radiating a stifling heat. The girl in the lead was tall, her short golden-red hair burning like flames. She was stunningly beautiful, but her brow carried a sense of pride and wildness that refused to bow to anyone.

The vice-captain of Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu.

"So that's Yu Tianyu?"

Huo Wu stopped in her tracks, arms crossed over her chest, her gaze unabashedly scanning Yu Tianyu as if she were appraising prey. "He looks decent enough, but I wonder if he's just a flashy vase."

"Little sister Huo Wu!"

Feng Xiaotian hurriedly crowded over, fawning like a lapdog. "Don't be impulsive. This guy is very strange. Even that big lug Huyan Li was sliced up by them like vegetables..."

"Shut up, Feng Xiaotian."

Huo Wu glared at him with disgust. "Huyan Li is a blockhead; it's normal that he lost. Our Blazing Fire Academy is different. I will make him know what it means to suffer a Burning Fire Body."

With that, Huo Wu walked straight up to Yu Tianyu, lifted her chin, and challenged him:

"Hey, you're Yu Tianyu, right? The next match is us, Blazing Fire, against you. Dare to make a bet with me?"

Yu Tianyu stopped and looked down at this woman who resembled a little chili pepper.

It had to be said, Huo Wu was beautiful—a vibrant, wild beauty that was completely different from the coldness of Zhu Zhuqing or the allure of Dugu Yan.

"What's the bet?" Yu Tianyu asked indifferently.

"If we win, I want you to admit in public that the World Burial Team is inferior to Blazing Fire Academy, and... take off that high-and-mighty mask of yours and be my sparring partner for a month!" Huo Wu said, full of confidence.

"And if you lose?" A playful curve touched the corner of Yu Tianyu's mouth.

"If we lose..." Huo Wu bit her red lip, "I'll leave it to you!"

"Fine."

Yu Tianyu took a step forward, forcing Huo Wu to lean back.

"Remember what you said. I have no interest in anything else; if you lose, you will address me as 'Master' whenever you see me from now on."

"You!!" Huo Wu was choked with anger, her cheeks flushing red. "Arrogant! Just wait to be burned to ashes!"

After saying this, she turned and stormed off in a rage.

Watching his goddess being teased, Feng Xiaotian felt his heart shatter. He turned and glared at Yu Tianyu: "Yu Tianyu! How dare you be disrespectful to little sister Huo Wu! I challenge you!"

Yu Tianyu didn't even glance at him, walking straight past him while leaving behind only a light, airy remark:

"Where did this stray dog come from? So noisy."

Feng Xiaotian froze in place, feeling as if he had taken a ton of critical damage.

Half an hour later, on the arena stage.

World Burial Team vs. Blazing Fire Academy.

The attention on this match even surpassed that of yesterday. Everyone wanted to know if Yu Tianyu's team could maintain their crushing dominance when faced with fire-type spirit masters possessing extreme explosive power.

"Both teams, summon your spirits!"

Boom!

On the Blazing Fire Academy side, all seven members possessed fire-type spirits. Huo Wu stood in the center; although she was a control-type, her presence was even stronger than that of their captain, Huo Wushuang.

"Yu Tianyu! Today I will let you witness what a Resisting Fire Ring is!"

Huo Wu let out a sharp cry, and the third Spirit Ring on her body suddenly lit up.

Third Spirit Skill: Resisting Fire Ring!

A dazzling golden-red ring of light erupted from her center, carrying immense repulsive force and high temperatures, aiming to scatter the formation of the World Burial Team instantly.

However.

A scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

Yu Tianyu waved his hand, signaling Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others behind him to retreat.

He walked forward alone, hands in his pockets, strolling as if he were taking a leisurely walk right into that terrifying ring of fire!

"Is he crazy?"

"That's the Resisting Fire Ring! It can repel all physical and energy attacks!"

The audience gasped in alarm.

But the next second, their gasps turned into horror.

The moment the scorching Resisting Fire Ring made contact with Yu Tianyu's body, there was no violent collision, nor was he sent flying.

Instead... it was as if subjects had encountered their king; the violent flames actually parted on their own!

Yu Tianyu walked right through the ring of fire, completely unscathed, not even a single strand of his hair singed.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Huo Wu's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. "My fire... why is it ineffective against you?!"

She refused to believe it!

"Fourth Spirit Skill: Fire Dance Shining Sun!"

Huo Wu raised both hands high, and a massive fireball, resembling a miniature sun, condensed in her palms. The temperature soared instantly, causing the very air to distort.

"Go to hell!!"

She poured all her strength into hurling the fireball, which contained terrifyingly high temperatures, toward Yu Tianyu, who was mere inches away.

Facing the massive fireball rushing toward him.

Yu Tianyu still did not dodge.

He slowly extended his right hand. He did not release a Spirit Skill from his palm; it merely glowed with a strange red and blue halo.

That was the ultimate physique tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

That was the body of the Dragon God, possessing the aura of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King!

"Snap."

Yu Tianyu's hand directly grabbed the fireball, which was hot enough to melt steel.

It was as if he were grabbing a harmless rubber ball.

"This fire is too weak."

Yu Tianyu commented indifferently.

Then, under Huo Wu's terrified gaze, he clenched his five fingers tightly.

"Puff!"

That massive Fire Dance Shining Sun was actually crushed by him, just like that! It turned into sparks that filled the sky and dissipated into the air.

"You... are you human or a ghost?" Huo Wu's legs went weak, and she stumbled backward.

As a fire-type Spirit Master, this feeling of having her flames completely neutralized, or even suppressed, filled her with deep despair. It was like a child playing with fire encountering the true monarch of flames.

"I am your creditor."

Yu Tianyu flashed forward, appearing instantly in front of Huo Wu.

He wrapped an arm around her slender, explosive waist and pulled her forcibly into his embrace.

"Let go of me!" Huo Wu struggled desperately, trying to release her spirit power.

"Don't move."

Yu Tianyu lowered his head, his heterochromatic pupils flashing with a soul-captivating light. "Your fire is useless against me. If you keep struggling, I don't mind collecting some interest right here in front of everyone."

As he spoke, his palm exerted a slight pressure, and a more overbearing, pure, ultimate fire flowed from his palm into Huo Wu's body.

"Ugh--!!"

Huo Wu's entire body stiffened, and her face turned bright red instantly.

That was the absolute suppression of a superior flame over an inferior one! Her Fire Shadow spirit was actually trembling, bowing in submission to this man!

"This match, you have lost."

Yu Tianyu let go and pushed the limp Huo Wu back toward the Blazing Fire Team.

"Remember our bet."

"Next time we meet, remember to call me Master."

After saying this, Yu Tianyu turned around and waved at the referee.

"Boring. Let's wrap this up."

The referee stood stunned for several seconds before trembling as he raised his hand: "Heaven Dou Royal Academy, wins!"

The entire arena erupted!

If the match against the Elephant Armor Sect was a display of physical violence, then this match against the Blazing Fire Team was an absolute miracle of elemental dominance!

Fire immunity!

This label was instantly attached to Yu Tianyu, making him appear even more unfathomable.

The tournament continued.

The next match was Shrek Academy vs. Thunder Academy.

Thunder Academy, the leader of the Five Element Academies, backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

And before the match began.

Yu Tianyu arrived at the Thunder Academy's rest area.

Every team member here is either a direct or collateral descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Seeing Yu Tianyu enter, everyone stood up in unison, their eyes filled with awe and reverence.

"Young Master!"

Yu Tianyu's current status in the clan has surpassed the Twin Stars; he has been designated by Yu Yuanzhen as the sole heir and the leader of the clan's younger generation.

"Cousin Tianxin."

Yu Tianyu looked toward the handsome young man sitting in the center—Yu Tianxin. He is the strongest of this generation besides Yu Tianheng, a level 43 assault-type battle Spirit Master.

"Tianyu, what are your orders?" Yu Tianxin asked respectfully.

Although he is the elder cousin, in the world of Spirit Masters, the capable are respected as teachers. Yu Tianyu's strength forces him to submit.

"For this match, your opponent is Shrek."

A cold glint flashed in Yu Tianyu's eyes, "Especially that control-type Spirit Master named Tang San."

"I want you to do one thing."

"Even if you lose the match, you must force him to use his full strength."

"I want to see his second martial soul. Do you understand?"

Yu Tianxin was stunned, then a fierce fighting spirit erupted in his eyes: "Understood! The clan has long rumored that this Tang San is a variable. Rest assured, Young Master, I will use the most violent thunder to tear his Blue Silver Grass to shreds!"

"Go."

Yu Tianyu patted his shoulder, "Don't disgrace the clan."

On the arena.

Thunderclouds gathered, and electric serpents danced wildly.

Yu Tianxin stood in the center of the arena, the phantom of a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon roaring behind him. Two yellow and two purple Spirit Rings pulsed, and the tyrannical power of the thunder filled the surrounding air with the smell of scorched earth.

And opposite him.

Tang San's expression was grave to the extreme.

Although the Blue Silver Grass is tough and fire-resistant (due to consuming the Blazing Apricot Delicate), it doesn't conduct electricity—or rather, it conducts it too well!

Thunder suppresses Grass!

This is an absolute disadvantage in terms of attributes.

"The match begins!"

"Third Spirit Skill: Wrath of the Thunder God!"

Yu Tianxin had no intention of testing the waters; he unleashed his full power right from the start. He kept Yu Tianyu's orders in mind: he didn't care about winning, only about forcing out the trump card!

Boom!

Bathed in lightning, Yu Tianxin transformed into a bolt of blue electricity, instantly charging toward Tang San.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Tang San stepped in an arcane pattern, attempting to dodge.

"Want to run? In your dreams!"

"Fourth Spirit Skill: Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Strike!"

Yu Tianxin roared, his right hand transforming into a massive dragon claw. A giant dragon formed entirely of lightning whistled forth, directly sealing off all of Tang San's retreat paths.

The power of this strike was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Spirit Master!

"Blue Silver Cage!"

Tang San was forced to defend, and countless Blue Silver Grass erupted from the ground, forming a cage to protect himself.

Zzzzt—!

However, in the face of the violent Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Strike, the Blue Silver Grass was like fragile, withered grass, instantly torn to shreds and charred.

The terrifying shockwaves of the lightning slammed heavily into Tang San.

"Pfft!"

Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood, his body scorched black, and he was thrown heavily to the edge of the arena.

Too strong!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is known as the number one beast martial soul in the world, and it is certainly not an empty reputation. In the face of such absolute explosive power, the control-type Blue Silver Grass appeared so powerless.

"It's not over yet!"

Yu Tianxin gave Tang San no chance to catch his breath.

He leaped up again, a more terrifying thunder sphere gathering on his dragon claw.

"The Young Master said to force out your trump card!"

"Let's see how long you can hide it! Go to hell!"

Boom!

Yu Tianxin descended from the sky, his thunderous strike aimed directly at the crown of Tang San's head.

This was a killing blow!

If he didn't block it, he would surely die!

Below the stage, Flender and Grandmaster were horrified: "San! Surrender! Hurry up and surrender!!"

Surrender?

Lying on the ground, Tang San's eyes were bloodshot.

No! I cannot surrender!

I have already lost to Yu Tianyu and lost to Shi Nian. If I can't even defeat a subordinate of Yu Tianyu now, what qualifications do I have to talk about revenge? What qualifications do I have to rebuild the Tang Sect?

The Blue Silver Grass could no longer block it.

The Eight Spider Lances were still in recovery and could not be used.

Hidden weapons were forbidden.

Then there was only...

In that split second between life and death.

Tang San's left hand lifted uncontrollably.

A heavy, domineering black light, filled with an aura of destruction, instantly condensed in his palm.

Time seemed to freeze in this moment.

"Hum—"

A massive hammer, pitch-black and engraved with strange patterns, appeared out of thin air!

Although it had no Spirit Ring, the moment this hammer appeared, the thunder elements in the air were forcibly scattered!

The number one tool Martial Soul in the world—the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Chaotic Cloak!"

Tang San let out a beast-like roar, gripped the handle with both hands, and used the force of his body's rotation to meet Yu Tianxin's Thunder Dragon Claw head-on.

Rumble—!!!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the Great Spirit Arena.

Blue lightning and black hammer shadows collided frantically.

The sturdy arena shattered instantly, sending gravel flying.

The dust settled.

Yu Tianxin was forced back a dozen steps, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking at the opposite side with a shocked expression.

As for Tang San, holding the black hammer, although covered in blood, he stood proudly.

The entire arena was deathly silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed firmly on the hammer in Tang San's hand.

In the VIP seats.

Salas, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall who had been wearing a gloomy face, stood up abruptly the moment he saw the hammer, knocking over the chair behind him.

"That is..."

Salas's pupils contracted violently, his voice filled with a trace of disbelief and deep-seated hatred.

"The Clear Sky Hammer!!"

"He is a remnant of the Clear Sky Sect?! He is the son of Tang Hao?!"

Beside him, Ning Fengzhi also sighed, his eyes complex. After hiding for so long, it was finally exposed after all.

And on the high viewing platform.

Yu Tianyu looked down at this scene from above, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Finally revealed it, little mouse."

"Now, I don't even need to do it myself."

"The mad dogs of the Spirit Hall will treat you well for me."

On the arena, Tang San only just woke up from that frenzied state.

When he saw the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and felt the countless gazes of shock, inquiry, and... the undisguised killing intent from Salas all around him.

His heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.

It's over.

Exposed.

Below the stage, Grandmaster's face turned ashen, and he collapsed onto the ground: "It's over... everything is over..."

Once the secret of the Twin Martial Souls was exposed, coupled with his identity from the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang San would become a target that the Spirit Hall would spare no cost to eradicate.

And all of this was within the calculations of the young man named Yu Tianyu.
