Tang San Beaten Again, the Clear Sky Hammer Exposed
When Tang San learned that Xiao Wu's Charm had failed, he immediately sensed trouble. He had already seen that Yang Xingchen's physical abilities far surpassed those of everyone in their group.
Tang San had thought Xiao Wu's Charm Soul Skill was the key to restraining Yang Xingchen. But now, never mind trapping Yang Xingchen so he could vent his anger-even escaping another brutal beating from him would count as good luck.
Zhu Zhuqing, whom Yang Xingchen had kicked flying, struggled to her feet and used a Soul Skill again, attacking Yang Xingchen from behind.
Ma Hongjun ate a sausage Oscar had made, got back to his feet, and used Phoenix Fire Line against Yang Xingchen, trying to cut off his retreat.
Heavenly Tendril Wave · Meteor Fishing! Fishing Line · Thousand Threads Lure!
In an instant, hundreds upon thousands of fishhooks shot out in every direction from Yang Xingchen, hooking every member of the Shrek Seven Devils.
"Pull!"
Yang Xingchen gave a gentle tug, pulling more than a dozen energy clusters out of each member of the Shrek Seven Devils.
The instant the energy clusters left their bodies, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line sputtered out, and Zhu Zhuqing fell to the ground without her Soul Skill to support her.
The Soul Fighting Arena, which had been filled with curses moments before, fell so silent a sparrow could be heard. Some spectators in the stands could hardly believe their eyes.
"Oscar, can you still make a Recovery Big Sausage?"
Tang San, who still had some strength left, knelt on one knee and supported the helpless Xiao Wu as he turned to look at Oscar, who was already sprawled on the ground.
Hearing him, Oscar spent the last of his Soul Power to make a Recovery Big Sausage and tried to hand it to Tang San.
But Oscar had no strength to spare. The sausage had barely appeared before it fell to the ground, and he had no time to hand it over.
Tang San no longer cared whether the Recovery Big Sausage had gotten dirty. He used Blue Silver Grass to pull it over and swallowed it in one bite.
"Tang San, long time no see! I really didn't expect you to be in such a sorry state when we met again."
Yang Xingchen deliberately crouched in front of Tang San, smiling as he watched him kneel on the ground and finish the Recovery Big Sausage.
"Yang Xingchen! You still dare show your face before me? You already have a path to death!"
As soon as the Recovery Big Sausage restored a little of his strength and Soul Power, Tang San abruptly raised his hand and unleashed his second Soul Skill.
Hundreds of Blue Silver Grass seeds shot from Tang San's hand. The moment they touched an object, they would burst open and grow countless roots, from which countless dark green, bamboo-jointed vines would sprout.
"Oh, now that's a sight to brighten the eyes!"
Seeing the places beside him that the seeds had touched become covered in Blue Silver Grass within a few breaths, Yang Xingchen couldn't help offering Tang San a word of praise.
Tang San, however, didn't seem to appreciate it. His face was blacker than the bottom of a pot.
According to Tang San's plan, Yang Xingchen should already have been bound by his second Soul Skill, Bamboo Joint Parasite.
Then he could have used his third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Thousand Needle Thrust, to grow countless hard spikes on the Blue Silver Grass trapping Yang Xingchen.
"What, wondering why the seeds didn't burst open on me? Come on, you're weak!"
Yang Xingchen reached out and patted Tang San's face, his words full of mockery.
"But I'll give you a chance anyway. Fight me at your peak."
Yang Xingchen took Tang San's energy clusters from Cangyuan's mouth and returned every last one to him.
Then Yang Xingchen casually swung the Space-Time Fishing Rod and swept Dai Mubai and the others, who were still lying on the ground, off the arena.
Humiliated by Yang Xingchen in front of so many people, Tang San completely abandoned his usual composure.
Tang San rose to his feet and glared at Yang Xingchen, his eyes wide with fury. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his Soul Skill.
"Bamboo Joint Parasite!"
With his Soul Power restored, Tang San instantly released enough Blue Silver Grass seeds to cover nearly half the arena. As soon as they landed, they rapidly grew and intertwined.
In the blink of an eye, Blue Silver Grass covered half the arena. Seeing this, Yang Xingchen didn't linger and immediately retreated to defend the other half.
"Blue Silver Entanglement! Blue Silver Thousand Needle Thrust!"
Tang San mistakenly thought Yang Xingchen feared his Blue Silver Grass, and excitement surged through him. He pressed both hands to the ground and unleashed his first and third Soul Skills.
In an instant, the Blue Silver Grass surged forward, successfully coiling around Yang Xingchen's ankles before wrapping him up like a zongzi.
Bang!
Hard spikes as thick as middle fingers sprang from the Blue Silver Grass like springs, turning the zongzi in the arena into a hedgehog.
"Hahaha, Yang Xingchen, I already told you, you have a path to death!"
Tang San stared fixedly at the Blue Silver Grass "hedgehog" before him, laughing wildly like a madman. Sure enough, taking Blue Silver Grass down the life-element path was useful!
"Tsk, tsk, aren't you going to check? Tang San, can't you pay a little more attention?"
Suddenly, Yang Xingchen's careless voice appeared behind Tang San like a ghost.
"Shut up!"
The words "pay attention" immediately triggered Tang San. Whenever Yu Xiaogang criticized him, his favorite reason was that Tang San wasn't attentive enough.
Especially after they came to Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang often used his position as Tang San's teacher to ask him tricky questions in class.
Whenever Tang San hesitated or couldn't answer, Yu Xiaogang, who had been smiling a moment earlier, would fly into a rage and loudly berate him for not paying attention.
"What, did I strike a sore spot?"
Yang Xingchen stepped back, and the head of the Clear Sky Hammer swept past the tip of his nose by less than a finger's width.
"I told you to shut up! Can't you understand what I'm saying?!"
Now face-to-face with Tang San, Yang Xingchen could clearly see the dark red glow in his eyes.
Seeing Tang San in this state, Yang Xingchen couldn't help thinking, Tang San might have gone a little into Qi deviation!
Tang San regained a little of his reason and immediately realized his mistake. He quickly recalled the Clear Sky Hammer.
But it was already too late. Dugu Bo, Flender, and the other powerful figures watching the match had all noticed the Clear Sky Hammer Tang San had summoned.
"Interesting. The child of Tang Hao and that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast actually has Twin Martial Souls. If the people from Spirit Hall find out, that'll be quite something!"
"And it's one thing for Tang San's father to find a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but how did his son find one too?"
"At this rate, it looks like the record for the continent's youngest Titled Douluo is going to be broken by another Tang!"
Dugu Bo sipped his tea and gave Tang San, whom Yang Xingchen had just sent flying with a kick, a meaningful look. Then he glanced at Xiao Wu as she got to her feet.
On Shrek Academy's side, things were nothing like the calm on the Heaven Dou Royal Team's side.
The instant Flender saw that Tang San's other Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, he pulled Yu Xiaogang out of the lounge.
"Xiaogang, why didn't you tell us Little San had Twin Martial Souls, and that the other one was the Clear Sky Hammer, no less?!"
Because of Yang Xingchen, Tang San had not fought Zhao Wuji one-on-one during the entrance test, and Tang Hao had not intervened either.
As a result, Flender and the others still didn't know that Tang San was the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo.
Faced with the truth his old friend had concealed from him, Flender felt betrayed and angry.
Although Zhao Wuji and the others had been wanted by Spirit Hall, so much time had passed that it was unlikely Spirit Hall would continue to pursue the matter.
But Tang Hao's case was different. Tang Hao had killed the former Pope of Spirit Hall outright. Spirit Hall would surely pursue him to the death!
Of course, none of that was what Flender cared about. What mattered to him was that his old friend still hadn't said a word to him about it.
They had even brought Tang San swaggering into the Soul Fighting Arena in Suotuo City.
"Didn't you tell Tang San that he couldn't just bring that hammer out whenever he pleased?!"
His old friend still said nothing, and Flender, usually so good-tempered, finally exploded and roared at Yu Xiaogang.
