Why Are You More Enduring Than Me? A Man Can't Lack Endurance!
Wherever it passed, the force of the shockwave cracked the bluestone slabs in the square.
Qian Daoliu remained expressionless. With a sudden flap of his six wings, he glided through the air, skimming close to the ground.
He maintained his three-meter height, his fifth Soul Ring shining brightly, showing no sign of backing down.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword!"
An ' Angel's Holy Sword ' formed entirely of sacred flames instantly appeared in Qian Daoliu's hand.
With a single swing of his sword, a dazzling golden sword aura cleaved the black shockwave in two, neutralizing the attack.
"Take this!" Tang Chen shouted as he saw his Fifth Soul Skill easily neutralized, and his Sixth Soul Ring lit up immediately.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Sky-Breaking Hammer!"
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Chen's hand swelled in the wind, transforming into a colossal hammer tens of meters long, which crashed down with a force capable of tearing everything apart.
This hammer blow was not only incredibly powerful, but it even sucked away the surrounding air, creating a small gravitational vacuum that firmly locked Qian Daoliu in place.
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed; he knew he absolutely could not withstand this attack head-on.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angel Avatar!"
Immediately afterwards, Qian Daoliu transformed into Six-Winged Angel, and all his attributes instantly surged to their maximum.
Then, with just a swing of the Angel's Holy Sword in his hand, the sword energy collided with Tang Chen's giant hammer.
In just a moment, he was blasted away.
"Qian Daoliu, you have no martial ethics! Why did you use your Angel Avatar to attack my sixth Soul Skill?!"
Tang Chen said something, and the giant hammer, which had been blasted several meters away, spun around under his Soul Power and flew back into his hand.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Tool Soul Avatar!"
Although it was supposed to be a friendly spar, Tang Chen was a competitive person and didn't want to lose to Qian Daoliu.
Using his Tool Soul Avatar, he transformed into a giant Clear Sky Hammer, clashing with the Angel's Holy Sword in Qian Daoliu's hand.
Qian Daoliu chuckled, "Who says that I have to use the same Soul Skill Soul Skill counter your attack, no matter which one you use?"
"Eighth Soul Skill, Angel's Judgment!"
Immediately afterwards, Qian Daoliu pointed the Holy Sword in his hand straight at the sky, and his eighth Soul Ring emerged from the sword!
This method of using Soul Skill allows the energy within the Soul Ring to be output to its maximum, a hallmark of a powerful Titled Douluo.
For most Soul Master, Soul Ring appear on their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, a golden cross-shaped sword beam filled with Destruction aura, carrying the majestic might of heaven, locked onto Tang Chen and slashed down!
"Hmph, well done!" Tang Chen snorted coldly, and the eighth Soul Ring on his Clear Sky Hammer also appeared. "Eighth Soul Skill, Thousand Jun Annihilation!"
Once this Soul Skill was unleashed, the already enormous Clear Sky Hammer more than doubled in size once again.
The overall weight of the Clear Sky Hammer instantly tripled!
"Boom!"
The two forces, representing the ultimate power of the Douluo Continent, collided most fiercely in mid-air.
Golden holy light and black Thunder Entanglement and clashed wildly in the sky above the square, neither giving way to the other.
The terrifying aftershocks of the Soul Power even pulverized several statues Worship Hall.
In the past, if such a high-intensity, continuous barrage of Soul Skill were to occur, Qian Daoliu's Soul Power would have been mostly depleted long ago.
Tang Chen thought so too, believing that Qian Daoliu's current Soul Power was about the same as his own.
His remaining Soul Power was only enough to unleash a few high-level Soul Skill.
But Tang Chen soon noticed something was wrong.
After unleashing several high-consumption Soul Skill in succession, Qian Daoliu's aura did not decrease significantly.
The sacred golden light emanating from him did not diminish; on the contrary, it grew even brighter.
"How can this old guy have such abundant Soul Power today? How is this possible!" Tang Chen was secretly astonished and couldn't figure it out.
Little did he know that the Holy Soul Core within the Qian Daoliu was continuously restoring his Soul Power.
In this war of attrition where the use of Soul Skill like Ring Detonation is prohibited, Qian Daoliu, possessing Soul Core, had already secured an invincible position!
However, Tang Chen didn't plan to think too much about it. Since he couldn't figure out the opponent's strength by fighting a war of attrition, he would use his strongest attack to decide the outcome!
"Qian Daoliu, take another blow from my hammer!"
Tang Chen's final and most dazzling ninth 100,000-year red Soul Ring finally lit up.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Hammer Shakes Heaven and Earth!"
This attack was the most powerful and destructive single-target attack skill that Tang Chen could currently unleash.
The Clear Sky Hammer in mid-air grew several times larger, blotting out the sky.
The smooth, massive hammerhead alone was enough to completely envelop Qian Daoliu's enormous Angel Avatar.
However, facing this terrifying hammer blow that seemed capable of Destruction everything, Qian Daoliu remained calm, merely chuckling nonchalantly.
"A trivial skill."
"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel's Breath!"
The next moment, Qian Daoliu's ninth Soul Ring shone with dazzling light, and his entire body received an unprecedented and enormous boost.
The Angel Divine Power within his body surged wildly, eventually converging entirely on his left hand.
Qian Daoliu clenched his left fist, and a huge fist shadow, formed entirely from golden divine light, surged upwards against the current, directly slamming into the descending Clear Sky Hammer.
Boom!
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, neither willing to back down even a step.
The massive Clear Sky Hammer and the golden giant fist were locked in a fierce battle, their Soul Power being rapidly depleted at an alarming rate.
Tang Chen had a bad feeling: Oh no, why does Qian Daoliu seem different this time? If this continues, it seems like I'll be the one who runs out of Soul Power first.
A moment later.
Both of them simultaneously concealed their auras and dispelled their Martial Soul Avatar.
Tang Chen landed on the ground, his steps slightly unsteady, his face as pale as paper, clearly due to the excessive consumption of his Soul Power.
On the other hand, Qian Daoliu, though showing Sisi of fatigue, maintained a steady aura and possessed ample Soul Power.
"I lost." Tang Chen said, quite unconvinced, "How... how come you lasted so much longer than me?"
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: This is the Soul Core that Changge researched, how could I possibly tell you?
In Qian Daoliu's view, the secret of condensing Soul Core will likely be known to all the Titled Douluo on the continent in the future.
But it must have been spread by Yu Changge, the "inventor".
As the beneficiary, he could only show off a little in front of Tang Chen; he had no right to reveal the secret of the Soul Core.
This is unethical, and it might even put Changge in danger.
"A man can't lack stamina." Qian Daoliu chuckled, then added, "Just consider it as me making a slight breakthrough in my Peerless Douluo realm."
