Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer

Spirit Hall Eternal: "I couldn't agree more. Remember when Tang San's group went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Rings? That part where they deliberately provoked Canghui Academy was downright disgusting to watch."

Wang Zhongwang: "If they'd followed through on that statement, it wouldn't have been a big deal. At worst, they'd have been a little reckless. But when this bunch first faced Dugu Bo, they cowered like quails."

Qian Xixi: "Let's stop talking about that for now. Look at Xuan Zi-do you think he'll lose control and attack? If the match isn't finished, our rewards will be down the drain."

Agile Dog in the Mountains: "I doubt it. If he dares attack a contestant during the Soul Master Tournament, he'll have completely thrown away his dignity."

Spirit Hall Eternal: "Who knows what this lunatic will do when he goes crazy?"

I Am an Angel: "Shrek Academy cares a lot about its reputation. They shouldn't do something that makes them look like hypocrites."

At this moment, Xu Jiawei, the Star Luo Emperor, spoke again.

"Shrek Academy, don't go too far. Do you think my Star Luo Empire has no one to stand up for it?"

Xuan Zi's expression grew even uglier. Not only had they failed to bring the championship back this year, but they might also earn themselves a reputation for being sore losers.

How was he supposed to explain this when he returned to Shrek Academy? He really had considered completely wrecking the Soul Master Tournament.

As long as the tournament couldn't go on, a match without a result naturally wouldn't count as a loss for Shrek Academy.

However, after considering the consequences of doing that, Xuan Zi still didn't dare.

Shrek Academy seemed to hold a lofty position, but the three great empires of the Douluo Continent were all wary of it.

If not for the external threat of the Sun Moon Empire, which required Shrek Academy to keep it in check, Shrek Academy would never have had things so easy.

Xuan Zi finally turned and left, going to find someone to treat Huo Yuhao.

Primordial One: "He's leaving just like that? I thought he'd at least make a few threats."

Wang Zhongwang: "Who would he make threats to? We don't give a damn about him. Threaten the Star Luo Emperor? That would only make things worse. He may be unreliable, but he isn't that stupid."

Qian Xixi: "There's only one person left. Who'll go up?"

Spirit Hall Eternal: "Ma Xiaotao seems the most likely, right? There aren't any other options."

Qian Xixi: "Ma Xiaotao definitely hasn't recovered even twenty percent of her Soul Power. Sending her up would just be throwing the match away again."

I Am an Angel: "From the looks of it, the match is about to end. The championship rewards should be pretty good, right?"

Wang Zhongwang: "I hope we each get a few Soul Bones. We've played this long and still haven't gotten a single piece of equipment. That'd be so embarrassing. When new players arrive, how are us old players from the launch supposed to show off if we don't even have a piece of equipment?"

Agile Dog in the Mountains: "I just remembered-the Soul Master Tournament champion is supposed to get three Soul Bones, right? There's no way the game developers won't give us those three Soul Bones."

I Am an Angel: "They'd better not. We earned them ourselves, through all our hard work."

Qian Xixi: "The developers wouldn't stoop to taking this little bit from us, but three Soul Bones still aren't enough to go around."

Wang Zhongwang: "Let's leave that problem to the developers. Maybe they've already planned it out."

On Shrek Academy's side, Zhou Yi could only turn to Ma Xiaotao.

"Ah, go ahead. Just don't make us look too pathetic."

Ma Xiaotao gritted her teeth, her face full of indignation. Just then, Wang Dong spoke up.

"Teacher Zhou, let me take the last match."

"What? Wang Dong, you... No!"

"Teacher Zhou, I'm not sure if I can beat him, but I can fight."

Wang Dong summoned her Clear Sky Hammer. The others from Shrek Academy were also surprised; they hadn't expected Wang Dong to have a second Martial Soul.

Zhou Yi recognized the Clear Sky Hammer. "That's the Clear Sky Hammer. Wang Dong, so you're a successor of the Clear Sky School."

"That's right. So, Teacher Zhou, let me take the last match."

Zhou Yi thought it over, then looked at Ma Xiaotao and the others. "What do you think?"

"Since we'd definitely lose if any of us went up, we might as well let her try. The Clear Sky Hammer is said to be the strongest tool-type Martial Soul in the world. It must be famous for a reason."

After Dai Yueheng finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao nodded too and looked at Wang Dong. "Then I'm counting on you!"

"Mm. I'll give it everything I've got."

With that, Wang Dong walked onto the arena. Seeing that Wang Dong was the one who had taken the field, Ten-Year Veteran was a little surprised.

Ten-Year Veteran: "You're the one fighting the last match? And you've even revealed the Clear Sky Hammer."

"That's right. This is the Clear Sky Hammer. It's still up in the air who'll win this Soul Master Tournament."

Wang Dong pointed her Clear Sky Hammer at Ten-Year Veteran, looking quite imposing.

Wang Zhongwang: "Does she really think she can win? Seriously? She really has no idea how outmatched she is?"

I Am an Angel: "Actually, if you look at Wang Dong as an individual, she's pretty good."

Spirit Hall Eternal: "Too bad you can't separate her from the rest. And her personality as a girl pretending to be a boy isn't exactly likable either."

Agile Dog in the Mountains: "I can't help wondering if the male and female leads were switched around. Look, if Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's genders were switched, wouldn't it make more sense? Wang Dong's personality is the standard male lead type, while Huo Yuhao's is clearly the standard female lead type."

Primordial One: "That's some imagination you've got there! But now that you mention it, it does make a lot of sense."

Qian Xixi: "Of course it does. Think about who Wang Dong is. She's Tang San's daughter, so she's the real protagonist."

I Am an Angel: "Then how did the later female lead, Tang Wutong, turn into such a mess? She completely lost her agency and became even more of a pretty ornament than a flower vase."

Wang Zhongwang: "Who knows? You'd have to ask the author. Maybe even he couldn't answer you."

Primordial One: "Simply put, he had a brain fart. Even he doesn't know how he ended up writing her that way."

At that moment, the referee on the arena had already announced the start of the match. The tournament had dragged on long enough; it couldn't be delayed any further.

As soon as the match began, Wang Dong gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and launched an attack.

Although Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer had no Soul Rings attached to it, it was still very powerful.

Ten-Year Veteran didn't even try to dodge and went straight for a head-on clash.

Clang! The Clear Sky Hammer collided with the Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear.

Ten-Year Veteran sat motionless on the Flame-Treading Black Steed, while Wang Dong was sent flying backward. She staggered several steps before managing to steady herself.

Seeing this, the hearts of the people from Shrek Academy sank completely.

"Just as expected. Even the Clear Sky Hammer can't make up for the gap in strength."

Wang Dong had no intention of giving up. Once she had steadied herself, she charged forward again.

This time, she used the Chaotic Wind Hammer Method, building up her strength with each blow.

Meanwhile, in the team voice chat, I Am an Angel suddenly raised a question.

I Am an Angel: "Isn't Wang Dong also a Twin Martial Soul user? Why doesn't she summon both Martial Souls at once? The Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Clear Sky Hammer seem like a pretty good combination, don't they?"
