"Pierce Hammer!"

Tie Xiong swung with incredible speed, each strike flowing into the next without pause.

Why call it swinging rather than dancing? Because Osler was attacking only one spot: Tie Xiong's face.

Tie Xiong grinned. He was going to defeat Osler using the attack speed Osler excelled at most.

Since the senior wanted to put them in their place, he would put him in his place properly!

Osler's Second Soul Skill was likewise a single-target attack skill, launching over a hundred strikes at the same point on an enemy, each carrying a piercing effect.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!

Sharp, rapid screeches rang out across the arena.

In just a few breaths, the two had actually exchanged over a hundred blows!

Yet in the end, Osler's leopard claws never struck Tie Xiong's body.

After the final collision, Osler staggered back more than ten steps before steadying himself.

"I'm done, I'm done! My Soul Skill doesn't work on him!"

Osler looked dejectedly at Tie Xiong. He had been completely countered.

Damn it, his attack speed was fast and his strength was huge. Was he Power-Attack Type or Agility-Attack Type?

In truth, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan could both tell.

Osler's hands were bleeding, and his face had turned even paler. This was the recoil from their hundred-plus collisions.

Osler could not hold on any longer.

Tie Xiong stood there as though nothing had happened, yet he had not even used his First Soul Skill.

A faint fragrance drifted over, and a beam of white light descended from above.

The petal-shaped white light landed on Osler. The wounds on his hands rapidly healed, and his complexion improved considerably.

For a moment, everyone in the arena looked solemnly at Tie Xiong.

Tie Xiong swept his gaze arrogantly over the crowd. "That's it? The geniuses of Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Shi Mo, Martial Soul: Black Tortoise Turtle, level twenty-eight Defense System Battle Soul Master. Please instruct me!"

"Shi Mo, Martial Soul: Black Tortoise Turtle, level twenty-seven Defense System Battle Soul Master. Please instruct me!"

"Yu Feng, Martial Soul: Wind Bell Bird, level twenty-six Agility-Attack System Battle Soul Master. Please instruct me!"

He was far too arrogant!

Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Yu Feng could no longer stand it. They glared furiously at Tie Xiong.

Tie Xiong chuckled. "Come at me together. Taking you on one at a time is no fun at all!"

"I'll do it!"

A deep, steady voice rang out.

The arena immediately fell silent, while the three of them smiled.

Their captain was stepping up. He would definitely win.

"You are strong. You easily defeated Osler just now, and Shi Mo and the others are no match for you. But Heaven Dou Royal Academy is not something you can look down on.

"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, level twenty-nine Power-Attack System Battle Soul Master. Please instruct me!"

Yu Tianheng spoke slowly.

Tie Xiong's attitude had angered him.

But he understood even more clearly that strength was the only thing that could speak at a time like this.

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Yu Tianheng and Tie Xiong in the arena.

She had not wanted to challenge Tie Xiong just now because the path she had chosen was that of a Control System Soul Master.

Her powerful offensive Soul Skill would only be added with her Third Soul Ring.

Of her first two Soul Skills, the first was Jade Phosphorus Red Poison, also known as Excitement Poison. It stimulated the nerves, increasing attack power and speed by twenty percent.

Her second Soul Skill was Jade Phosphorus Blue Poison, also known as Paralysis Poison. It eliminated pain and increased defense by thirty percent.

It was an extremely useful skill in team battles.

From Tie Xiong's movements just now, Dugu Yan had already seen it.

Tie Xiong's speed was definitely not low. If she went up without a powerful offensive skill—

She might be smashed down by his hammer before the Jade Scale Snake Poison even took effect.

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan longed even more for the powerful attack of her Third Soul Skill.

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! Possession!"

A dazzling mass of blue light lit up from Yu Tianheng's brow.

The blue light then spread from his forehead over his entire body, as small blue-purple lightning snakes slithered around him.

His arms lengthened by more than half a foot. His exposed hands became covered in scales and turned into dragon claws, while his joints thickened dramatically.

Tie Xiong stared at Yu Tianheng.

Good. Very good. I had been waiting for you.

Liu Erlong's nephew, did you know Liu Erlong beat me up once every month?

How could I let Liu Erlong fail to recognize you after hammering you today!

And Dugu Yan is mine, so don't even think about her!

"Berserk State!"

For the first time, Tie Xiong called out his First Soul Skill.

He had decided to face Yu Tianheng with his fiercest stance.

Everyone present changed expression. After Tie Xiong activated his First Soul Skill, his aura transformed completely.

He was nothing like when he had faced Osler just now.

He was now brimming with aggression.

"I'm starting!"

Tie Xiong swung the Heaven Breaking Hammer.

Without the slightest fear, Yu Tianheng charged at Tie Xiong.

Tie Xiong stomped down, gathering power in his calves and channeling it into his arms.

It was a full-force strike from the start, combined with the threefold boost of Berserk State.

"My hammer!"

Although Tie Xiong had not used his External Soul Bone, the power in his right leg remained immense.

He gathered momentum as he ran, then swung his hammer at Yu Tianheng!

Yu Tianheng felt rather speechless. Why did this guy look so excited?

It was like he really wanted to hammer me?

No matter what he thought, his hands showed no mercy.

His First Soul Ring lit up. Thunder Dragon Claw!

His thick dragon arm gleamed with blue radiance.

A Thunder Dragon Claw condensed in midair and shot straight toward Tie Xiong.

This Thunder Dragon Claw was formed from lightning Soul Power. Its speed was unmatched.

Tie Xiong condensed Soul Power onto the Heaven Breaking Hammer and slammed into the Thunder Dragon Claw with Vibration Force.

The tremendous force forced Tie Xiong back several steps, but he also shattered Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw.

However, the true might of the Thunder Dragon Claw lay in its attached lightning power.

The destructive power of lightning was beyond doubt.

The Thunder Dragon Claw was shattered, but the lightning traveled through nonetheless.

Without the slightest pause, Tie Xiong's body trembled continuously in tiny vibrations, channeling them into the Heaven Breaking Hammer as he used Vibration Force to steadily wear away the lightning's power.

Yet some arcs of electricity still flowed through, passing into his Iron Forging Hand and then into Tie Xiong's body.

Waves of pain surged through him.

This was after Tie Xiong had first forcefully shattered the Thunder Dragon Claw, then used the Heaven Breaking Hammer Martial Soul to weaken it, and finally endured it with his body.

But the distinct pain demonstrated just how powerful Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw was.

Tie Xiong let out a roar. How could this little pain make him retreat?

Following right behind the Thunder Dragon Claw were the Power Dragon Claws on Yu Tianheng's hands.

With a thunderous boom—

Both sides were knocked back. Tie Xiong followed like a shadow and attacked again, his force even greater than before.

Tie Xiong excelled at dealing with strength-based attacks like Yu Tianheng's.

Yu Tianheng's expression changed. He had not expected his Thunder Dragon Claw to strike Tie Xiong

Only to make him roar a few times before having no further effect.

Little did he know that Tie Xiong had also expended tremendous effort to neutralize his Thunder Dragon Claw.

Before he could think further, Tie Xiong had already attacked.

Tie Xiong's attack rhythm was extremely fast.

Yu Tianheng now understood why Tie Xiong could withstand the hundred instantaneous strikes of Osler's Ghost Leopard Hundred Slashes.

Tie Xiong's hammer was now coming at him with that same high-speed barrage of power.

Each hammer blow was fiercer than the last.
