At this moment, all nine Spirit Ring of the Clear Sky Hammer appeared with a blood-red color, and his body and Martial Soul also appeared with the same color.
"Oh, the Ring Detonation? I remember you should have some hidden injuries. If you use the Ring Detonation again, aren't you afraid of losing your life in the middle of the fight?" Wu Ling understood Tang Hao's actions after a moment's thought. It seemed that Tang Hao really wanted to kill him, and actually used the Ring Detonation, a secret technique that would kill a thousand enemies but also harm eight hundred of his own.
Ignoring Wu Ling's verbal attack, Tang Hao's first four Spirit Ring, yellow and purple, exploded with a bang, and Wu Ling also became more alert in the face of this attack.
Upon hearing Tang Hao's attack, Wu Ling's right eye turned bloodshot. " True Hero: Slay Foes with the Eye! Heaven Burner, cover the earth!"
A laser beam carrying intense heat shot out from Wu Ling's right eye, meeting the Crimson Legion giant hammer head-on. The surrounding sounds vanished instantly, the earth was torn apart, and the surrounding plants were crushed into powder. Accompanied by a huge white light, a deafening explosion resounded.
Moments later, flames and intense heat engulfed the surrounding trees. Wu Ling's Golden Armor blocked the aftershocks of the attack. In the distance, Tang Hao was covered in blood, with hidden wounds bursting all over his body. If he had been in good health, he would not have been injured when he unleashed that attack.
However, after his battle with Qian Xunji, he was repeatedly ambushed by the Spirit Hall. Although he managed to escape the Spirit Hall's trap time and again, his injuries were delayed and developed into hidden wounds.
In addition, he was extremely depressed for the next six years, fell into alcoholism, and allowed the hidden injuries to erode his body to the point that they were deeply rooted. Although he sought out specialized healing-type Spirit Master, they were simply unable to cure such a complicated condition.
These hidden injuries greatly limited his progress in strength, causing his cultivation level to be stuck at level 95. At the same time, once he encounters a high-intensity battle, his injuries are prone to backlash, just like before. However, for him now, everything is still manageable.
"Your body is about to break down, isn't it? Can you even handle this? You're already like this after just a few moves," Wu Ling said again.
Unlike Tang Hao, Wu Ling was still largely unharmed after enduring attacks that could easily kill ordinary Titled Douluo.
"You can give it a try." Although he didn't know exactly what Xi Gou meant, he could still hear the sarcasm in Wu Ling's words. Even though Tang Hao was covered in blood, he was still as domineering as ever. Only in his hands could the Clear Sky Hammer unleash its true power.
As for Tang San, being born into the Tang Sect, his most suitable Martial Soul is actually something like Flying Knife. Using the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer would be a complete waste of these two top-tier Martial Soul, as their compatibility is completely incompatible.
For Spirit Master and Martial Soul to unleash power beyond their limits, a key factor is compatibility, or more easily understood, the personality of the Martial Soul's owner.
For example, it would be a waste to give a guy who only thinks about sneak attacks and assassinations the Clear Sky Hammer as his Martial Soul.
The personality that truly matches the Clear Sky Hammer is vividly displayed in Tang Hao at this moment: masculine, domineering, only attacking and not defending, living towards death, always thinking only of head-on collisions and attacks, vowing to suppress and defeat any opponent with absolute power.
At this moment, four of the nine Spirit Ring that originally surrounded Tang Hao's body had shattered, turning into specks of Soul Power light and disappearing into the air.
This is the ultimate secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect, the Great Sumeru Hammer Ring Detonation. It uses a special method to shatter one's own Spirit Ring, and the burst of Soul Power temporarily enhances one's strength, unleashing astonishing power.
This secret technique can be considered the pinnacle of self-created soul skills. Its creator was Tang Chen, the previous generation Haotian Douluo who brought the Haotian Sect to its peak, and its inheritor is Tang Hao, the current generation Haotian Douluo.
It was precisely because Tang Hao inherited this secret technique and all the unique skills of the Clear Sky Sect that he was qualified to Clear Sky Douluo.
"Huff, huff, huff..." Tang Hao's breathing gradually became heavy as his mind was tense. He knew his physical condition. He could still Douluo I for a while without using the Great Sumeru Hammer, but now that he had even used the Ring Detonation, he didn't have much time left. If he continued to drag it out, he would be worn down by the bursting internal injuries before he could kill his opponent.
But before that, he had to kill Wu Ling, or at least severely injure him. Even now, as Soul Saint, he could withstand a blow that crushed an ordinary Titled Douluo and unleash an attack comparable to the one that destroyed four of Spirit Ring. Once he became Titled Douluo in the future, his strength would be unimaginable!
Most importantly, he, a level 95 Titled Douluo, had already used the Ring Detonation, while his opponent was only a Soul Saint. He absolutely could not tolerate coming away empty-handed!
The moment Tang Hao's fifth Spirit Ring cracked, the blood-red flames surged once more, this time his speed was even faster and his power even more intense than before.
Tang Hao's speed was as fast as lightning. In Wu Ling's eyes, Tang Hao, a Power Attack System Spirit Master, was already faster than the level 96 agility-attack type Gui Mei.
He moved at high speed in front of Wu Ling and suddenly swung his hammer. Wu Ling blocked it with his golden spear, but he used the force to change his position and swung his hammer again, like forging iron, one hammer after another, with increasingly terrifying power.
" Chaotic Cloak think we'd give you a chance to accumulate wealth?" Wu Ling saw through Tang Hao's move, took out her Axe-Sword with her other hand, and smashed it hard against the Clear Sky Hammer in the air from the opposite direction. Tang Hao's incredibly wild momentum came to an abrupt stop in mid-air, forcibly halted by Wu Ling's blow.
Tang Hao's face flushed crimson, his mind filled with a mixture of anger, surprise, and killing intent. With a roar, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand erupted into a blood-red vortex. As his fifth Spirit Ring shattered completely, the unparalleled explosive force annihilated the air in that spot.
A massive energy surged into the sky, transforming into a gigantic blood-gold pillar of light that forcefully sent Wu Ling flying. As he was thrown backward, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Wu Ling's mouth.
Wu Ling, mimicking Karna, adjusted his posture in mid-air using flames, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and thought, "Truly worthy of being called the world's number one Power Attack System Martial Soul. Tang Hao now doesn't seem like a level 95 Titled Douluo at all."
Generally speaking, even a pure strength-type Titled Douluo can only unleash power that is at most one level higher than others of the same level. However, after reaching level 96, each level represents a completely different level of advancement.
However, at this moment, Tang Hao, who only had a cultivation level of 95, actually unleashed a power that surpassed that of a level 97 cultivator. This was even more terrifying, considering that he was covered in hidden injuries and had only managed to upgrade his fifth Spirit Ring.
Of course, even though Tang Hao is a monster, and the Clear Sky Sect has only produced two people like him, grandfather and grandson, in the past few hundred years, Tang San could only use the Clear Sky Hammer and was not able to unleash its full power.
At this moment, Tang Hao was surrounded by a ring of blood-red flames. The so-called " Ring Detonation " was the temporary and complete burst of the power of the Spirit Ring into his own body, stimulating his abilities in a special way and enhancing his explosive power.
In this state, Tang Hao cannot use Spirit Ring or Spirit Skill, but he can use the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect to unleash physical power close to that of Divine Rank.
