Tang Lieyan's Soul Ring Configuration was optimal: yellow, yellow, purple, purple.
Anyone from a major power with a decent Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power could achieve this.
"You've already lost!"
Bibi Dong smiled at her opponent.
She had watched Tang Lieyan's earlier battles. He was the kind who relied on explosive bursts to overwhelm his opponents.
Simply put, he was a pure brawler.
A spitting image of a second-generation Tang Hao.
In that regard, Tang Hao was inferior to Tang Chen.
She had taken the time to study the Clear Sky Sect, and had even read the records about Tang Chen in Spirit Hall's Library of Books.
Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer Soul Ring Configuration could be called nearly perfect. When unleashed, it also came with Soul Skills like target locking and gravity suppression.
The book's account was extremely detailed.
Bibi Dong had always suspected that Qian Daoliu was its author.
Sometimes she wondered: if Qian Daoliu had been a woman, perhaps Bo Saixi would never have stood a chance.
She would have won Tang Chen over long ago.
"So what if you have a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"
"My Soul Power Level is far higher than yours."
Faced with Bibi Dong's psychological taunts, Tang Lieyan looked utterly dismissive.
In truth, his mind was in turmoil.
He had stepped onto the Soul Fighting platform brimming with confidence, but Bibi Dong had revealed her Soul Rings and shattered his momentum in an instant.
Tang Lieyan knew perfectly well that he had no chance of winning.
He kept telling himself that he absolutely mustn't be afraid or lose his nerve.
But the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was right there for all to see, and his opponent's faint smile never left her face. The pressure in his chest only grew heavier.
With his mind no longer under his control, how much strength could he really bring to bear?
"First Soul Skill, Mountain Shaker!"
Tang Lieyan knew that in this situation, he couldn't afford to drag things out any longer.
If he kept stalling, something else might happen—something he couldn't control.
"Not bad momentum, but that's all it is."
Faced with Tang Lieyan looking ready to throw his life away, Bibi Dong remained poised and graceful.
Even with the Clear Sky Hammer already swinging toward her face, she stayed composed.
To be honest, Bibi Dong did want to test the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer.
After all, this Martial Soul had been hyped far too much.
But in Bibi Dong's eyes, the Clear Sky Hammer was nothing special.
A Martial Soul without an Innate Domain—no matter how powerful it was, just how powerful could it really be?
Even if she wanted to test it, she wouldn't be foolish enough to pit her weaknesses against her opponent's strengths.
Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to smash into Bibi Dong, she shifted slightly and dodged the fierce blow.
"How is that possible?"
"How could you be that fast?"
Tang Lieyan stared at the scene, his eyes wide with disbelief.
His opponent hadn't used a Soul Skill. She had dodged his deadly attack through sheer physical reflexes.
That move had always been unstoppable against his opponents.
He had even used this Soul Skill to kill a thousand-year Soul Beast.
Yet now, his opponent had dodged it just like that.
"Nothing's impossible."
"It's not that I'm too fast. You're too slow."
"Dragging around such a cumbersome hammer makes your intentions obvious. And just when you think you've got it all figured out, your Martial Soul becomes a burden, keeping you from hitting your enemy."
"After all, not every Soul Beast is an idiot who'll stand there and let you smash it."
"Call it whatever you want—it's still just a heavy forging hammer. Only someone with something wrong in the head would stand there and meet it head-on."
Bibi Dong's words were an outright insult.
Her intention was clear: she wanted to tell those idiots in Spirit Hall not to meet the Clear Sky Hammer head-on.
Anyone would think the Clear Sky Hammer made people stupid.
Whenever someone fought a wielder of the Clear Sky Hammer, they all seemed to get thickheaded, charging straight in and pitting their own heads against their opponent's Martial Soul.
No wonder they lost.
At that moment, the faces of everyone from the Clear Sky Sect darkened.
It had been years since Tang Hao made a name for himself, and the Clear Sky Sect had never suffered such humiliation.
No one had ever slandered their Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul like this.
If they weren't in Spirit Hall, if Qian Daoliu weren't standing on the platform, they would have loved to march up and whack this little brat called Bibi Dong with a hammer, just to show her how much weight the Clear Sky Hammer could bring down on her.
But they were on someone else's turf, so they had no choice but to temporarily suppress their anger.
"Kid, I'll remember you."
Tang Hao stared hard at Bibi Dong, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Not long ago, that bastard Qian Xunji had provoked his grandfather. Now this woman's disciple was mocking the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. How could he tolerate that?
He wanted nothing more than to slap the little brat dead right then and there.
But Tang Hao held himself back and ultimately chose not to act.
Given the circumstances, he truly didn't dare make a move.
The moment he let even a trace of killing intent show, he felt a series of fierce, powerful auras lock onto him.
If he attacked Bibi Dong, those shameless old bastards from Spirit Hall would definitely come after him.
He couldn't bear the consequences of what would happen then.
On the platform, Bibi Dong hadn't used a single Soul Skill from beginning to end. She had relied purely on reading her opponent in advance and observing him keenly to dodge Tang Lieyan's attacks with ease, one after another.
After swinging that enormous hammer for so long, Tang Lieyan was now panting heavily, with little Soul Power left.
"Second Soul Skill, Shadow Stealth Kill!"
The instant Tang Lieyan let his guard down, Bibi Dong didn't hesitate for a moment. She used her Soul Skill at once.
Her figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into thin air. When she appeared again, she was already behind Tang Lieyan.
The sharp Spider Spear rested against his brow.
With the slightest pressure, she could split his skull open.
Her second Soul Skill was very simple: she marked a spot in advance, then activated the skill to appear there out of thin air.
It was very similar to Flying Thunder God.
However, her mark came with various restrictions. It had to be placed within a certain range, and it wouldn't remain there forever.
With Bibi Dong's current strength, she could only mark a spot within five hundred meters.
Even so, she was very satisfied with this Soul Skill.
Whether for assassination or escape, it was extremely useful.
And the instant she reached the marked location, her attack power increased by a full one hundred percent. That was what pleased Bibi Dong most.
She didn't even need to build up power before using the Soul Skill. She could unleash an attack immediately.
