Rainbow Pierces the Sun: One Spear Strike Shatters Defense with Ease!

Several young men headed toward the spectator stands of the First Sub-Arena.

The man at the front stood tall, his brows carrying a hint of innate pride.

He was Yu Tianheng, captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team and a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master.

Tonight, Ye Han's opponent was a clansman of the Shi Hao, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo brothers.

That was why they had all come to show their support.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo walked in the middle of the group, speaking in low voices.

"Brother Hao's match tonight should make that Ye Han suffer a little."

"Of course. Our Black Tortoise has top-tier defense and has always had few rivals among those of the same rank. Besides, Brother Hao's soul power is at level forty-nine, at least five or six levels above Ye Han's."

Yu Feng leaned over and chimed in from the side.

"You two are being too conservative, aren't you? I think your Brother Shi Hao might do more than just force him to reveal his Spirit Rings. He might even end his winning streak."

"Let's hope so. Still, that kid won ten matches in a row without revealing his Spirit Rings, so he's no pushover."

Oslo said to Yu Tianheng,

"Boss, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon might be able to end that kid's winning streak."

"I do want to give it a try. But first, let's watch tonight's soul fight and get a sense of his methods."

As the number-one beast Martial Soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon possessed incomparably violent thunder power.

With Yu Tianheng's current strength, if he unleashed it with all his might, his lightning could cover an arena thirty meters in diameter, leaving his opponent nowhere to dodge.

He had the confidence, and he had the assurance.

Accompanied by Snake Spear Douluo, Qian Renxue also arrived at the spectator stands. As usual, she found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

She had watched every one of Ye Han's soul fights.

From the first match to the tenth, she hadn't missed a single one.

Gradually, she too had been won over by Ye Han's strength.

The soul fights began.

The earlier matches proceeded as usual, each with its own victor and loser. Cheers rose and fell from the stands, but the atmosphere never truly heated up.

Everyone was waiting for the final match.

When it was Shrek's turn, Tang San and Xiao Wu were the first to take the stage.

The Three-Five Combination worked together flawlessly.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass bindings and control were precise, while Xiao Wu's soft skills flowed seamlessly from one move to the next.

The pair easily defeated their opponents in less than five minutes.

Blue Silver Grass could actually be this strong, giving the audience a small shock.

Right after that, Ma Hongjun and Oscar faced Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, only to promptly concede and leave the arena.

After the soul fight ended, the Shrek group returned to the rest area to wait for Ye Han's match.

At last, all the earlier soul fights had concluded.

"Esteemed audience! Tonight's most anticipated main event has finally arrived! Please welcome, with your warmest applause, the Black Tortoise Soul Master, forty-ninth-level Battle Soul Ancestor, Shi Hao!"

Heavy footsteps echoed from the competitors' tunnel.

Under the spotlights, Shi Hao stepped onto the arena one step at a time.

He had a solid build, broad shoulders, and a thick back. Veins bulged across his bare forearms, and every step landed with a dull, heavy boom.

A round of applause rose from the stands.

Once the applause eased, the host raised his voice again.

"Next, please welcome the Sky-Piercing Spear God, Ye Han, who has already achieved ten consecutive victories!"

Everyone's gaze immediately fixed on the exit of the competitors' tunnel.

A figure emerged from the shadows, his pace neither hurried nor slow, calm and composed.

Ye Han looked only fifteen or sixteen. His face was cold and stern, while his brows held a calmness rare for someone his age.

He was tall and lean, with straight shoulders and back, dressed in a simple dark long robe.

After stepping onto the arena, Ye Han merely nodded at Shi Hao before taking his position.

"Sky-Piercing Spear God!"

"Sky-Piercing Spear God!"

The spectator stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and many people shouted Ye Han's title.

Ma Hongjun muttered to himself,

"So that's Ye Han? He does look... pretty young."

No one replied. They all watched quietly.

Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eyes and examined Ye Han from head to toe.

This youth truly seemed extraordinary. Merely standing there quietly gave people the feeling that he could not be underestimated.

Dai Mubai also focused his attention.

This was his opponent tomorrow night, so he needed to observe carefully.

They all waited for the match to officially begin, eager to see what the Sky-Piercing Spear truly looked like.

"Prepare for the soul fight! Both sides, release your Martial Souls and Spirit Rings!"

The instant the referee finished speaking, Shi Hao moved.

He abruptly crouched down. A heavy phantom of a tortoise shell emerged behind him and rapidly solidified, while earthen-yellow soul power wrapped around his body in layer after layer, as though he had donned a mobile fortress.

Four Spirit Rings—two yellow and two purple—rose one after another from beneath his feet and circled his body.

Ye Han moved as well.

He loosely clenched his left hand, gathering soul power in his palm. The Sky-Piercing Spear instantly appeared.

The moment they saw the Sky-Piercing Spear, everyone who had never seen this Martial Soul before widened their eyes.

It looked different from an ordinary long spear.

The spear shaft was slender and jade-like, its entire body glowing with a gentle silver-white luster, with faint streams of light moving within it.

The spear blade was exceptionally long, taking up nearly a third of the entire weapon. Its surface was smooth as a mirror, its sharpness restrained.

Others might not have been able to see it clearly, but through his Purple Demon Eyes, Tang San clearly saw the two characters "Sky-Piercing" engraved near the center of the shaft, seamlessly fused with the spear itself.

"Sky-Piercing Spear! Is that where its name comes from?"

Tang San couldn't help blurting it out.

The people beside him were all startled.

"Third Brother, what's wrong?"

"You're too far away to see it clearly. The words 'Sky-Piercing' are engraved right in the center of that spear, as if they were born with it."

"?! That's that bizarre?"

They all widened their eyes, trying to make it out clearly.

But they didn't possess Tang San's eyesight and couldn't see it.

In the spectator stands, Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong all widened their eyes as well, their gazes fixed straight on the Sky-Piercing Spear in Ye Han's hand.

"Xiaogang, something's off. Why is he releasing his Martial Soul with his left hand? Aren't Martial Souls usually in the right hand?"

"Perhaps he's left-handed. That Sky-Piercing Spear is indeed unusual. It seems to be some kind of mutated spear-type Martial Soul."

The right hand was ordinary; the left concealed something unusual.

Yu Xiaogang merely found it strange, but he never considered that the Sky-Piercing Spear might be Ye Han's second Martial Soul.

After all, Twin Martial Souls were far too rare. Only three had ever appeared in recorded history on Douluo Continent.

Two of them were connected to him: one was his former lover, Bibi Dong, and the other was his beloved disciple, Tang San.

On the arena, Shi Hao looked at Ye Han and said,

"Little brother, I know you're strong, but I have to remind you. My Black Tortoise is a top-tier defensive beast Martial Soul. At my level, even a five-ring Soul King would find it difficult to break my defense. My tortoise shell not only has tremendous defensive power, but equally powerful rebound force. Are you still not going to reveal your Spirit Rings?"

"Thank you for the reminder. I want to challenge myself."

"Very good. I also want to test the attack power of the Sky-Piercing Spear. I'll defend, and you'll break my defense. If you can break through, you win. How about it?"

"Fine, then it's settled. But I should remind you as well: make sure you bring out your strongest defense from the very beginning."

Shi Hao nodded and said nothing more.

The two men retreated, opening up some distance between them.

"Soul fight—begin!"

The instant the host finished speaking, the two purple Spirit Rings on Shi Hao's body lit up at the same time.

His third soul skill possessed a blood-burning trait, granting him a hundred percent boost to both defense and strength.

His fourth soul skill was his strongest defensive skill so far.

With both soul skills activated at once, he directly pushed his defense to the limit.

The Black Tortoise's aura surged again, and its heavy shell became even more solid.

Ye Han moved.

Soul power surged through his body, gathering in his left arm and the Sky-Piercing Spear.

His right foot exerted force and slammed into the ground.

The next instant, his entire body vanished from where he stood.

A streak of silver-white light shot straight out from Ye Han's original position, piercing through the space above the arena.

Rainbow Pierces the Sun!

This was the third form of the Nine Qingtian Forms, its essence being Unity of Man and Spear.

It compressed all of one's strength and soul power into a single point, using a point to break through a surface.

With the force of Unity of Man and Spear, it advanced to the utmost extreme, piercing through every obstacle ahead.

The silver-white streak descended from above and slammed into the very center of the tortoise shell like lightning!

In an instant, silver light blazed brilliantly!

Boom!

A dull, thunderous explosion burst forth!

A visible shockwave violently spread outward from the point of impact!

Shi Hao's feet sank, and the stone slabs across the arena's surface cracked apart inch by inch!

The tortoise shell shook violently as cracks spread outward from the impact point in an instant, dense as a spiderweb.

Crack!

A sharp, piercing sound of shattering echoed through the entire arena!

The heavy Black Tortoise shell, condensed from pure soul power, instantly exploded into fragments that scattered in every direction!
