Sea God's Descent

Tang Wulin immediately drew the Golden Dragon Spear and stood in front of Huo Yuhao, blocking Tang Wutong's Clear Sky Hammer attack.

Tang Wutong was naturally no match for Tang Wulin in strength. Even using the force-borrowing principles of the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, she could not contend with the ultimate strength of the Golden Dragon King.

Unable to swallow this insult, she was forced to break through the seal within her body. In an instant, her aura rose to the level of a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo.

Yet even so, Tang Wutong discovered in frustration that she still could not defeat Tang Wulin. She immediately realized what was happening and snorted coldly. "So you two were hiding your strength as well."

Tang Wutong finally used her ninth soul skill—Sea God's Descent—summoning her father, Tang San, to descend upon the mortal world. The first thing Tang San did upon arriving was freeze everything around them.

Thus, apart from Huo Yuhao, Tang Wulin, Tang Wutong, Tang San, Gu Yuena, and the Snow Empress, everyone else was frozen in place and had no idea what had truly happened.

Tang San even mercilessly erased everyone else's memories of witnessing Tang Wutong break through her seal.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress merely watched the situation onstage from the resting area below, without taking the initiative to reveal their true identities.

Tang San rebuked him furiously. "Huo Yuhao, you actually dared to hurt my precious daughter! You will pay for this!"

Huo Yuhao sneered. "Which eye of yours saw me hurt her?"

Tang Wulin shielded Huo Yuhao behind him and said with an unwavering gaze, "As long as I am here, you will not hurt Brother Yuhao."

Tang San looked utterly baffled. "Huo Yuhao, what sort of spell did you cast on Wulin to make him this stubbornly devoted to you?"

Huo Yuhao sighed, feeling exhausted. "I already explained it. If you refuse to listen, what can I do?"

Tang Wutong was still furious. "Dad, stop wasting words on him. Just beat him up properly and let him know the consequences of going against us."

What mattered more, a rebellious brat or his precious daughter? He would beat this disobedient son first.

With that thought, Tang San hardened his heart and decided to beat Tang Wulin along with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin knew a battle was unavoidable. They exchanged a tacit glance, clasped hands, and merged their soul power, joining forces to unleash their martial soul fusion skill—

Golden Dragon's Mourning Dance, Heaven and Earth Weep!

The two ultimately transformed into a colossal golden dragon that spread its wings and soared through the sky, releasing a thunderous dragon roar.

Tang San and Tang Wutong were affected by the golden dragon's emotions, involuntarily sinking into sorrowful memories and resonating with overwhelming grief.

Only after Tang San woke from the influence of their martial soul fusion skill did he realize that it contained the power of the Emotion God.

Tang San was immediately astonished. "When did you become the Emotion God? How could I not know?"

The golden dragon dispersed of its own accord, and Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin reappeared before Tang San, still holding hands. Huo Yuhao shrugged and answered calmly:

"I was just lucky. When I helped Wulin change his fate, I happened to inherit the Emotion God's divine position."

Tang San demanded, "Since you have already become the Emotion God, why are you not staying properly in the God Realm and assisting the God Realm's enforcers with their duties? Why remain in the mortal world and waste your time here?"

Tang Wulin explained, "I wanted to help Brother Yuhao change his fate. Besides, several God Kings are handling matters in the God Realm now, so you do not need to worry too much about the future."

Tang Wutong curled her lips. "The major problems in the God Realm may have been resolved, but we still have not settled the matter of you insulting Shrek Academy's honor."

Huo Yuhao sneered. "Does Shrek Academy's so-called honor mean it absolutely has to win the championship?"

Tang San knew his daughter was no match for Huo Yuhao, yet he could not stand seeing her bullied. He said to Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin:

"If the two of you can defeat me, then this match will count as your victory."

Tang Wulin nodded. "Then let us begin."

"Second Form of the Sea God's Trident, Thousand-Year Void!"

Wielding the Sea God's Trident, Tang San stirred up wind and waves. Four storm vortices formed from ocean currents, carrying towering waves and raging gales as they swept toward Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin.

Deathly and icy auras, along with intense spiritual fluctuations, immediately spread around Huo Yuhao. At that moment, he was holding hands with Tang Wulin beside him as they merged their soul power.

Blue Silver Emperor vines grew around Tang Wulin, while his entire body radiated the aura of the God of Destruction. The sharp Dark Gold Dreadclaw and the murderous Golden Dragon Annihilation Claw were both incorporated into their martial soul fusion skill.

Life Extinguished, Death Withers!

Destruction and death intertwined, devouring and annihilating everything around them. The storm vortices of Thousand-Year Void vanished soundlessly within it, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

Seeing the domain attack of their martial soul fusion skill about to reach him, Tang San's sense of danger grew stronger and stronger. He could only use the Sea God's Trident's strongest move—Sea God's Twilight—to barely block their combined strike.

Towering waves collided explosively with the power of destruction. The shockwave forced Tang San, Tang Wutong, Tang Wulin, and Huo Yuhao all back several steps.

"This is the power of the God of Destruction? Wulin, you actually inherited the God of Destruction's divine position."

Feeling the immensely powerful destructive force, Tang San revealed a look of astonishment. Yet what he felt most at that moment was delight, because it proved that the result he had planned for had ultimately come to fruition.

Still holding Huo Yuhao's hand, Tang Wulin's golden radiance grew even brighter. "It is not merely the God of Destruction's power. Our final martial soul fusion skill also possesses the power of the Dragon God. You cannot defeat Brother Yuhao and me."

A massive vertical golden eye appeared behind Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin, instantly releasing an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Dragon God's Gaze, Eye of Destruction!

Even after Tang San switched into his Asura God form and desperately used the Asura Demon Sword to defend himself, he was ultimately no match for the Dragon God's power enhanced by destruction.

In the end, he barely used the Asura Demon Sword to support himself as he rose to his feet. Helplessly, he said, "As expected of the Dragon God's power. I have lost this duel."

Tang Wutong's eyes widened like bells. "Dad actually lost to those two? This is unbelievable."

Seeing that his son could now stand on his own, Tang San looked gratified and did not care about winning or losing this time. He merely said to his daughter in the end:

"Wutong, remember to return to the God Realm early once you have had enough fun in the mortal world. Dad still has a great many matters to handle, so I cannot stay with you for now."

Tang Wutong lowered her head. "Got it, Dad. Go take care of your work."

After Tang San repaired Tang Wutong's seal, he vanished from before the three of them. As a result, Tang Wutong's soul power returned to the level of a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.

There was even less need to mention Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin. Concealed by their simulation soul skill, they also appeared to be merely Four-Ring Soul Ancestors, and no one knew the extent of their true strength.

Everything frozen around them resumed its normal course as Tang San disappeared. Everyone's eyes remained fixed on the fiercely contested match platform.

Tang Wutong used the Clear Sky Hammer to borrow and redirect force, while Tang Wulin wielded the Golden Dragon Spear like a soaring dragon. Hammer and spear collided, throwing off brilliant sparks.

As expected, Tang Wulin, who excelled in strength, ultimately knocked Tang Wutong back several steps. He put away the Golden Dragon Spear and promptly caught her before she could fall.

Tang Wutong said helplessly to the referee, the Nine-Ring Titled Douluo, "I lost."

Seeing this, the Nine-Ring Titled Douluo Huang Jinxu immediately announced, "The winner of this team battle is Spirit Pagoda Academy. After both sides return to the waiting area and rest for twenty minutes, the one-on-one individual elimination matches will begin."

Someone in the audience exclaimed, "That person's weapon is incredible! It can actually contend with the Clear Sky Hammer head-on."

Those nearby repeatedly praised Tang Wulin's tremendous strength. Then someone suddenly realized something and exclaimed in shock:

"Shrek Academy is not going to lose this time, is it? This would be the first time in its history that it has missed the championship."

Xiao Hongchen, who had watched the match, could not help revealing a mocking smile. "The glory of the continent's number one academy is about to fall."

Meng Hongchen covered her mouth and laughed. "Looking at it now, losing to Spirit Pagoda Academy does not seem like such a bad thing. At least we get to see Shrek Academy in such a sorry state."

Twenty minutes later, the final stage of the championship—the individual elimination matches—officially began.
