With just a single glance, Tang Hao's momentum faltered.
The reason Qian Xunji acted this way was, naturally, because she was learning from her own disciple.
Since Bibi Dong had already set the template, as her teacher, she possessed even greater strength and advantages; if she were to lose now, Qian Xunji felt she truly would have no face left to live in this world.
Yet, Tang Hao was, after all, a favored son of heaven, and under the various praises and encouraging education of Tang Chen, he had cultivated the aura of a complete brute.
Even in the current situation, where anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that he was in a losing position.
Tang Hao remained extremely confident; so what if the opponent was a Title Douluo?
It was not as if they could not be defeated.
Following this, Tang Hao's momentum suddenly surged.
"How could it be like this?"
Compared to Tang Hao's confidence, Tang Chen, who was watching the battle from below, fell into shock and disbelief.
Wrong, wrong, everything was wrong.
He had thought of everything, except that Qian Xunji's strength had improved so rapidly, rising from the realm of a Soul Saint to that of a Title Douluo in just a few short years.
This was simply too incredible.
Most importantly, he was well aware of how powerful the Six-Winged Angel martial soul became once it reached the Title Douluo realm.
Upon becoming a Title Douluo, the Angel Domain would be completely mastered; thus, she already held an absolute advantage in strength, not to mention being a possessor of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul with the domain fully unleashed.
This gap was no longer something that could be bridged by conviction or secret techniques.
"A divine gift?"
Tang Chen looked at Qian Xunji on the spirit fighting arena, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He had thought that once Hao'er and Xiao'er grew up, the foundation of the Clear Sky Sect would be able to surpass Martial Soul Hall.
But now it seemed that even if they reached that step, they would still be suppressed by Martial Soul Hall.
Even if he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang Chen, what then?
As long as the Clear Sky Sect lacked a deity, it would be impossible to pass down its legacy for ten thousand years.
"Become a god!"
When this thought appeared in Tang Chen's heart, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Only by becoming a deity could he truly accumulate a foundation for the Clear Sky Sect that would last for ten thousand years.
The problem was how to become a god.
At his level, wanting to go even further was simply too difficult.
Even with Martial Soul Hall possessing a divine inheritance, Qian Daoliu had remained at level 99 for so many years, never able to take that final step to reach level 100 and become a god.
Therefore, this path was even more difficult than he had imagined.
"Become a god?"
"Such a challenge is what makes it interesting!"
Tang Chen's gaze became increasingly firm.
He clearly knew the difficulty of becoming a god, yet it could not shake his will.
The outcome of this battle had already been determined the moment Qian Xunji revealed her spirit rings and her own cultivation realm.
But Tang Hao, on the field, refused to be reconciled.
"Ring Detonation!"
"Detonate all seven rings!"
Sensing that the detestable woman before him was constantly toying with him, Tang Hao was thoroughly enraged.
At this moment, he no longer cared about anything.
Young and impetuous, he was single-mindedly determined to compete.
Having only recently mastered Ring Detonation, he risked severe injury and even the depletion of his own martial soul's origin, detonating all seven of his spirit rings simultaneously.
At this moment, Tang Hao displayed an attack reaching the level of a Title Douluo despite being only a Soul Saint.
"Should I dodge?"
Sensing the power contained within Tang Hao's hammer, Qian Xunji knew that dodging was the easiest and wisest course of action.
With her cultivation and speed, she could easily evade it.
But she wanted to try it out.
With such a vast gap in realm and strength, she had absolute certainty in her own victory.
Since that was the case, why not experience it?
She decided to take it head-on, wanting to test just how powerful this hammer truly was.
She did not just think it; she did it.
"Boom!"
With a dull, thunderous explosion, Tang Hao, having unleashed Ring Detonation, collided with the Angel Holy Sword held by Qian Xunji.
Seeing this scene, Bibi Dong truly wanted to curse.
What was wrong with all of them?
Could it be that the hammers of the Clear Sky Sect possessed some sort of magic, making everyone who fought them want to stubbornly clash head-on?
You aren't even a power-type Spirit Master.
And it's not as if you couldn't have dodged it.
Was her previous demonstration all for nothing?
"They're all sick in the head!"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but curse under her breath.
However, she still had great confidence in Qian Xunji's current strength.
If, with Qian Xunji's current configuration and power, she still couldn't win, then she might as well find a hole and bury herself.
As the immense power erupted, Qian Xunji remained standing in place, though she no longer possessed her initial composure.
After hard-tanking Tang Hao's Ring Detonation strike, she had clearly suffered a significant impact.
As expected, this is extremely dangerous; I must never do this again in the future.
Qian Xunji warned herself internally.
If she encountered a Clear Sky Hammer wielder again, she could not afford to clash head-on.
If Tang Hao's strength hadn't been inferior to hers, she would have nearly capsized in the gutter this time.
Compared to Qian Xunji, whose clothes were only slightly soiled, Tang Hao had already fallen into a coma.
It was clear that using Ring Detonation at his current cultivation level had caused him significant trauma.
"I want to see if Ring Detonation truly has no side effects for Tang Hao."
Bibi Dong looked at the unconscious Tang Hao, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
If she remembered correctly, the mechanics of Ring Detonation dictated that each use would severely damage and weaken the spirit rings themselves, while constantly inflicting trauma upon the user.
In the original story, Tang Hao seemed to lack this side effect entirely, using Ring Detonation repeatedly; some said it was because the spirit rings provided by Ah Yin supported his reckless use.
This time, she was determined to intercept Ah Yin no matter what.
Without the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring of the Blue Silver Emperor, would Tang Hao still be able to fight like an unkillable cockroach?
If he remained the same, then she would never go to a place like Slaughter City, no matter what.
This was a test.
A test for the Asura God King.
"The secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect will be delivered shortly."
"Let's go!"
Seeing this, Tang Chen did not linger; he rose and departed.
This time, not only had he failed to obtain what he wanted, but he had also lost the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect—a matter far too humiliating for Tang Chen.
But none of this could be blamed on Tang Hao.
Ultimately, it was because he had failed to ascertain Qian Xunji's cultivation level, which led to this situation.
Regarding this, Tang Chen was deeply puzzled; with his own cultivation and strength, he should not have been unable to see through Qian Xunji's realm.
He did not know that because Qian Xunji was in the process of undergoing the God Trials, her aura was masked by divine power, and combined with the Head Soul Bone of the Angel God, it made it impossible for him to discern her true level.
