"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
With a roar, Tang San's upper body clothing burst apart. Blood streaked across his arms as his skin split open, and blood poured out in an endless stream!
Though he could barely manage it, the enormous Clear Sky Hammer above his head came crashing down toward Lin Fan's head with the force of Mount Tai bearing down on him.
"Not bad, but thinking you can defeat me is pure wishful thinking!"
Lin Fan's robes snapped in the wind. He watched the Clear Sky Hammer hurtling down with a cool gaze, completely unruffled!
His arms remained transformed into dragon claws, and his body twisted into a bizarre posture!
"Lightning Five-Chain Whip—Five Whips in a Row!"
Lin Fan leapt into the air and punched at the Clear Sky Hammer, which was several times larger than he was!
"One whip!"
"Two whips!"
"Three whips!"
"Four whips!"
Roars rang through the air above the Soul Fighting Arena like rolling thunder as Lin Fan's fists slammed into the Clear Sky Hammer again and again!
After Lin Fan's fourth punch, the descending hammer actually ground to a halt in midair, unable to move forward another inch!
"Five whips!"
Lin Fan spun in midair, gathering all his accumulated strength into his right fist before bringing it down with a vicious smash!
Boom!
An energy storm rapidly spread outward from Lin Fan's fist, the clash as violent as a volcano crashing into the earth!
Crack!
The crowd then saw the enormous Clear Sky Hammer split with a series of cracks that rapidly spread across its surface!
The Furious Mother Dragon!
In just two breaths, Lin Fan completely shattered the attack formed from all the Soul Power within the seven members of Blue Tyrant Academy!
As the Clear Sky Hammer broke apart, the faces of all seven, with Tang San at their head, turned deathly pale. Blood gushed from their mouths as though it cost nothing!
They collapsed to the ground like beaten dogs, their strength utterly spent. They couldn't even muster the strength to get back up!
"Heh heh, Tang San, I have to say, you really know how to surprise me!"
Lin Fan strolled over to Tang San, crouched in front of him, and spoke with a beaming smile!
The seven-man fusion skill had indeed caused Lin Fan a little trouble. If he hadn't captured three women in a row and greatly increased his strength, he really might not have been able to withstand it!
This battle had also shown Lin Fan just how powerful the S-rank technique, Lightning Five-Chain Whip, was!
It truly lived up to its reputation as a peerless technique created in ancient times by the great master, Master Ma!
"So, is that all your useless father and useless teacher have taught you lately? Hm?!"
Lin Fan planted a foot on Tang San's face. Every word was like a thorn piercing Tang San's heart!
The Great Sumeru Hammer was indeed the hammer technique Tang Hao had taught Tang San. Though it required him to detonate his Soul Rings later on to unleash its full power, Tang San's use of it just now, combined with the seven-man fusion skill, had been powerful enough to rival a Soul Douluo's attack!
Yet they still hadn't been able to fight back against Lin Fan at all. The seven of them together had been defeated by a single punch!
It was a complete and utter crushing defeat. The moment Lin Fan shattered the Clear Sky Hammer, he also shattered Tang San's hopes and convictions, along with his pride!
"Hurry up and admit defeat, you useless piece of trash. You should understand that if I hadn't held back, a hundred lives wouldn't have been enough to save you!"
"Be grateful for the handout I've given you. Keep that miserable life of yours and drag yourself through what's left of it. Understand?!"
When Lin Fan finished speaking, Tang San's already pale face turned ashen. He couldn't help spitting out another mouthful of blood!
"Useless trash! Because of your incompetence, your friends and family—everyone close to you—will suffer!"
Lin Fan lifted his foot, leaving a deep shoe print on Tang San's face. In the next instant, Lin Fan's figure abruptly vanished!
His afterimages flickered through the arena. One by one, the six injured Blue Tyrant Academy team members were tossed in front of Tang San like dead dogs, piled into a heap of flesh!
Thud!
Lin Fan kicked them. With the sound of bones breaking, all six went flying off the Soul Fighting Arena like balls, their anguished screams echoing behind them!
"Lin Fan, I'll kill you!"
Tang San gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. Bright-red blood dripped from his lips. He struggled to get up and attack Lin Fan, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move!
"Pointless struggle!"
Lin Fan sneered and raised his foot, intending to kick Tang San off the platform too!
"Stop!"
A furious shout came from the spectator stands. Lin Fan looked up and saw a beautiful woman in her thirties!
"So, that's Liu Erlong?"
Lin Fan had already confirmed her identity through Yu Xiaogang, who was standing beside her!
Liu Erlong was slightly less beautiful than Xiao Wu and the others, but she had shed every trace of youthful innocence. She possessed the alluring beauty unique to a mature woman!
And as for her curvaceous figure, there was no need to say more. After only a few glances, Lin Fan felt Evil Fire rising in his lower abdomen!
"According to the rules, unless a contestant personally admits defeat, I can keep attacking!"
Even after Liu Erlong called out to stop him, Lin Fan had no intention of holding back. He kicked Tang San in the stomach anyway!
Tang San flew off like a dead dog, landing in a heap below the Soul Fighting Arena, where he passed out!
"What an arrogant brat!"
In the stands, Liu Erlong clenched her delicate hand so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her voluptuous body trembled slightly, and her pretty face was as murderous as ice and snow that had lasted ten thousand years!
"Er Long, don't be impulsive. That boy isn't as simple as he looks!"
Noticing the fierce killing intent surging from Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly warned her.
"Stay out of it!"
Liu Erlong snorted. With a trace of annoyance, she shot Yu Xiaogang a glance, then headed out of the Soul Fighting Arena!
A thought suddenly sprang into her mind: if the man beside her weren't so useless, perhaps things wouldn't have gotten this bad!
"How could I think that about Yu Xiaogang..."
Liu Erlong shook her head, desperately trying to suppress the thought.
"Heh heh, what a haul today!"
After all that, Lin Fan had gained nearly 30,000 Villain Points from Tang San!
There was no denying it: combining physical attacks with vicious verbal attacks was highly effective!
After the Soul Fighting match, Lin Fan didn't linger. He left the Soul Fighting Arena immediately.
But he hadn't gone far when he sensed a powerful presence quietly locking onto him!
"Heh heh, you want to attack me? Then I'll give you what you want!"
Lin Fan chuckled to himself. Instead of heading toward his lodgings, he made for a small grove in the outskirts.
When he reached a broad, deserted area, Lin Fan stopped and spoke calmly.
"Come out!"
At his words, Liu Erlong appeared beside a large tree. She stared at Lin Fan, her face full of surprise.
"You knew I was following you, so you deliberately lured me here?!"
"Haha, clever!"
Lin Fan didn't deny it. He openly admitted the truth.
"Young man, I have to say, you've got guts. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!"
Liu Erlong stared coldly at Lin Fan. Her frenzied Soul Power surged together with her chilling killing intent, crashing toward him like a sea of waves!
Lin Fan stood motionless, his hands behind his back, wearing the same warm smile as a spring breeze!
"Liu Erlong, I don't know whether to call you naive or stupid! I'm the one who can rescue you from your misery, yet instead of thanking me, you want to kill me?!"
Lin Fan spread his hands, his voice tinged with helplessness.
"What do you mean?!"
Liu Erlong furrowed her brows. She had no idea what Lin Fan was talking about.
"You wasted the most precious decade of your youth for that useless Yu Xiaogang. Are you going to keep making the same mistake?!"
Lin Fan's expression grew more serious as he spoke.
"Shut up! I don't care where you heard those rumors, but I won't let you talk about Yu Xiaogang like that!"
The Soul Power radiating from Liu Erlong suddenly fluctuated wildly. She interrupted Lin Fan with an angry shout!
"Heh heh, foolish woman. You're always trying to deceive yourself!"
"Yu Xiaogang was the scum who abandoned Bibi Dong. When his heart had turned to ashes, he met you. You were nothing but Bibi Dong's replacement!"
"Even more laughable, when Yu Xiaogang found out you were his younger sister, he didn't act like a man with any sense of responsibility. Instead, he hid like a turtle in its shell for over a decade, leaving you to bear everything alone!"
"Do you really think a useless scumbag like that deserves you?!"
Every word Lin Fan spoke struck Liu Erlong's heart and soul like a heavy hammer!
She had no idea how Lin Fan had learned these most closely guarded secrets!
Emotionally, she couldn't bear to hear anyone slander and insult Yu Xiaogang like that. But reason was telling her that Lin Fan was right about everything!
"Brat, you dare drive a wedge between me and Yu Xiaogang? I'll kill you first!"
Liu Erlong was furious. It also seemed as if she feared that if Lin Fan continued, the faith in her heart would truly start to waver!
Terrifying, searing energy burst from Liu Erlong and surged straight toward Lin Fan!
Lin Fan didn't show the slightest fear. His arms transformed into dragon claws, and he clashed with Liu Erlong!
Both of them fought with the utmost brutality, meeting force with force. The trees around them toppled one after another under the impact of their violent Soul Power!
The longer they fought, the more alarmed Liu Erlong became. Lin Fan's performance in the Soul Fighting Arena had seemed like child's play to her!
Now that she was fighting him herself, she realized that couldn't have been further from the truth. Even with her strength, she couldn't gain the upper hand against Lin Fan!
"Seventh Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon Avatar!"
With a roar, Liu Erlong released her Martial Soul and Soul Rings. Her seventh black Soul Ring blazed fiercely, and her body suddenly swelled!
Roar!
With a dragon's cry, a giant nearly twenty meters long appeared in midair. Red scales covered its entire body, and its terrifying heat distorted the surrounding air!
Arcs of electricity also flashed and danced across its dragon claws!
Liu Erlong had once belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but her Martial Soul had undergone a mutation. Not only did she wield the power of lightning, she had also gained the terrifying, violent Soul Power of fire!
After activating her Martial Soul Avatar, Liu Erlong didn't waste a word. Her massive dragon tail swept toward Lin Fan, felling more than ten towering trees along the way as easily as a scythe cutting through wheat.
"What a crazy woman!"
Lin Fan swore. People said tigresses were frightening, but an enraged mother dragon was even worse!
Lin Fan dodged Liu Erlong's attack with a sidestep, while simultaneously releasing his Martial Soul and Soul Rings!
He had never backed down from an opponent stronger than himself. Especially when it came to women, he had to keep them on the back foot!
"Sixth Soul Skill, Nine Domains Heavenly Dragon Claw!"
The phantom of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon behind him seemed to take physical form. As Lin Fan changed his hand seal, a pale-gold dragon claw two meters across shot out with a trail of flowing light and slammed toward the Crimson Dragon!
The instant Lin Fan released his Martial Soul, Liu Erlong felt an instinctive fear stir in her heart. When she saw the terrifying configuration of his Soul Rings, she was even more shocked!
As the pale-gold dragon claw drew closer, a sense of death washed over her. Liu Erlong hurriedly circulated all the Soul Power within her body, and her eighth black Soul Ring began to flash wildly!
