Facing Ning Rongrong in her Ice Dragon King true form.
Tang Hao's entire body tensed. His yellowish eyes suddenly narrowed, and his brow furrowed deeply.
This Ice Dragon King was an incredibly troublesome opponent.
But Tang Hao refused to back down.
You can be as strong as you like. One hammer strike, and you'll meet the King of Hell!
Tang Hao's arm trembled violently, and the Seventh Soul Ring on his body lit up.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Clear Sky True Body!"
The little hammer hidden beneath Tang Hao's robes suddenly grew and floated into the air.
In an instant, the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer unleashed an immensely terrifying aura. Black Soul Power surged and roiled around it, and the hammer grew to more than a hundred meters long.
Its enormous head was like a small mountain!
Then,
one red pattern after another appeared across the massive Clear Sky Hammer.
The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on Tang Hao's body suddenly glowed red, and the black giant hammer instantly turned completely crimson.
"Ice Dragon King! So you're the Ice Dragon King! Hahahahaha..."
Tang Hao suddenly burst into laughter, his voice utterly arrogant.
Then his right hand moved. He raised it sharply, then slammed it down!
The hundred-meter-long super hammer in the sky suddenly lifted, then crashed viciously toward the Ice Dragon King.
In an instant, all the air around them twisted.
"The Clear Sky Hammer—it's actually the Clear Sky Hammer..."
Ning Rongrong hadn't expected her opponent to be a Titled Douluo who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
The Clear Sky Hammer was known as the number one Tool Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent!
And the Clear Sky Sect, to which it belonged, was the foremost of the Seven Great Sects!
Though her enemy was powerful, Ning Rongrong wasn't afraid in the slightest.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Space-Time Freeze!"
The Ice Dragon King roared. Her Ninth Soul Ring suddenly lit up, pulsing at full intensity.
A series of raging winds, carrying frost, swept through the surrounding area.
Terrifying cold poured endlessly from the Ice Dragon King's body.
Even the air seemed to freeze!
The entire space was filled with the most extreme frost!
It was as if even time had frozen.
Tang Hao's crimson Clear Sky Hammer, which had been about to crash down, was now covered in a layer of extreme frost.
Even Tang Hao himself was completely encased in ice!
All of space and time had been frozen!
Here, only the Ice Dragon King remained, roaring and unleashing her might. No other living creature could be found!
Titled Douluo had different ranks.
A level 99 Douluo was known as a Peerless Douluo!
Levels 96 to 98 were Peak Douluo.
As for levels 91 to 95, those were merely ordinary Titled Douluo.
The Ice Dragon King Experience Card had granted Ning Rongrong the cultivation of a level 99 Peerless Douluo!
Ning Rongrong herself just didn't know it!
In an instant, the powerful aura around Ning Rongrong overwhelmed Tang Hao's.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring could grant a Soul Master two Soul Skills.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Ice Cavalry War God!!"
Ning Rongrong immediately unleashed the other Soul Skill within the Ninth Soul Ring.
Under the influence of the icy-blue Soul Power around Ning Rongrong, the frost roaring through the air suddenly began to clank and clang, forming countless tiny Ice Dragon Kings.
Carved into each of them was a lifelike, fearsome war general. Some wielded spears, others swords, halberds, or sabers, while still others bore shields... Each carried a different weapon!
Countless Ice Dragon Kings and Ice War Generals circled in formation through this frozen space-time.
Though covered in frost, Tang Hao's consciousness remained intact. At that moment, his heart lurched in alarm.
He had even dared to hammer the previous Pope, Qian Xunji. But now, a tempestuous storm rose in his heart as Ning Rongrong's methods left him shaken.
This was a being whose power had surpassed his own cultivation level!
That was the difference between accepting a Mission Card and receiving its reward—and not accepting one!
"Ring Detonation!!!"
Ning Rongrong's methods of attack had left Tang Hao utterly shocked.
At that moment, he no longer hesitated. As he used his Ninth Soul Skill,
Tang Hao began unleashing the ultimate secret of his Great Sumeru Hammer: Ring Detonation!!
It was a desperate technique. It could greatly increase his power, but it also came at an enormous cost.
Tang Hao truly didn't want to use it unless he had no other choice.
But now, Ning Rongrong had backed him into a corner. If he didn't use Ring Detonation, he was the only one who would lose!!
In an instant, a crimson glow burst from Tang Hao, enveloping all of his first eight Soul Rings.
Every Soul Ring on his body turned crimson.
Crack!
The ice covering Tang Hao and his enormous Clear Sky Hammer shattered with a crack.
Using the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Detonation, he forcefully broke free of the Ice Dragon King's frozen space-time.
Not only that, but the Clear Sky Hammer, which had originally stood more than a hundred meters tall, suddenly expanded. Its enormous head grew tenfold, and its handle tripled in size, stretching to more than ten meters long!
This bizarre giant weapon now radiated an astonishingly terrifying and domineering pressure.
"Die!" Tang Hao controlled the monstrous Clear Sky Hammer and slammed it viciously toward the enormous Ice Dragon King before him.
"Die!" The Ice Dragon King's deep-set gaze was icily cold. Countless tiny Ice Dragon Kings and Ice War Generals surged forward fearlessly.
Some of the tiny Ice Dragon Kings and Ice War Generals charged at the enormous Clear Sky Hammer, while others attacked Tang Hao himself.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong's true form opened her enormous jaws. From between her ice-crystal teeth, she blasted a pillar of ice more than ten meters in diameter toward the Clear Sky Hammer hurtling at her.
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!
The frozen space-time rang everywhere with the sounds of Ice Dragon Kings and Tang Hao fighting and colliding!!
The entire iceberg was carved away in countless places by their battle, with countless sections collapsing and countless holes being smashed into it!!
The two sides collided in one final, decisive clash.
Rumble--!!
By the end, even the entire iceberg began to collapse.
Pfft!!
Ring Detonation had taken its toll on Tang Hao, and Ning Rongrong's Ninth Soul Skill was simply too powerful. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, taking advantage of the brief pause after their Soul Skills clashed, he turned and fled without a moment's hesitation, vanishing in a flash!!
The Ice Dragon King felt her blood and energy roiling throughout her body. Tang Hao's strongest attack had hurt her badly!
But Ning Rongrong still had the upper hand!
Tang Hao didn't want to fight anymore, so he left.
Ning Rongrong had no desire to keep fighting either. She flashed away and quickly flew toward Shrek Academy.
Meanwhile, the iceberg began to collapse and crumble amid a rumbling roar!
This barren mountain had turned into an iceberg because two powerful Titled Douluo had fought there. Now it had collapsed, reduced to ruins!!
Its tragic life had come to an end!
The collapse of the enormous iceberg caused a massive commotion.
When Ning Rongrong had transformed into the Ice Dragon King and fought Tang Hao,
the nearby Soul Masters had fled in every direction after sensing the two mountain-like, terrifying auras of power.
Now that the battle had ended and the iceberg had collapsed,
quite a few Soul Masters plucked up their courage and approached the mountain again to investigate. They discovered that the place had become a snow-filled ruin!
"Just how powerful must those two Soul Masters have been?" The Soul Masters investigating the icy ruins were filled with awe at the fighting skills Ning Rongrong and Tang Hao had displayed.
Elsewhere,
the Ice Dragon King that Ning Rongrong had transformed into soared through the sky, her enormous wings blotting out the heavens.
As she flew, the Ice Dragon King's body gradually shrank.
Her exquisite ice-crystal scales, the sharp frozen horns atop her head, and her bulging muscles slowly disappeared.
By the time she returned to Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had reverted to her original form.
A closer look, however, showed that Ning Rongrong's face was rather pale.
Clearly, that powerful Soul Fighting battle had taken a great deal out of her. It hadn't been easy.
It was only to be expected. She was a twelve-year-old girl, and this was her first time using the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul and experiencing the cultivation of a level 99 Limit Douluo.
To drive off the famed Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had made his name long ago, in a Soul Fighting battle—
Ning Rongrong had done incredibly well!
She had surpassed 99% of the female Soul Grandmasters across the Douluo Continent!
"Why are you all looking at me like that? As if you've seen a ghost!"
Ning Rongrong joked as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others.
The moment she returned, she saw Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the annoying Dai Mubai, Flender, and the others. Their expressions were utterly shocked; they looked at her as if they'd seen a ghost!
Flender in particular had his mouth gaping so wide that he could have fit a fist the size of a sandbag inside.
"Ning Rongrong! She... she... she actually came back!"
"That means Tang Hao didn't get the better of her in that Soul Fighting battle. He might even have lost!"
Flender's Cat Eagle pupils suddenly contracted.
Just now, he had seen a world of icy blue appear high in the distance.
Through the haze, Flender had also glimpsed an enormous Ice Dragon King and a gigantic black hammer.
Terrifying booms had echoed through the air as well.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the world was about to end!
### This iceberg's collapse caused a huge stir.
When Ning Rongrong transformed into the Ice Dragon King and fought Tang Hao,
the surrounding Soul Masters had fled in every direction after sensing the two terrifying auras, vast as mountains.
Now that the battle was over and the iceberg had collapsed,
quite a few Soul Masters gathered their courage and approached the mountain again to investigate. They discovered that the place had become a snow-covered ruin!
"Just how powerful must those two Soul Masters have been?" The Soul Masters investigating the icy ruins were filled with awe at the fighting techniques Ning Rongrong and Tang Hao had displayed.
