As Tang San unleashed his Clear Sky True Body, a gigantic hammer-shaped phantom appeared above him, seemingly containing boundless power, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, while Tang San was experiencing this extraordinary enlightenment, he also clearly felt that both his soul and body were almost beyond their limits, and he could only unleash one attack at a time!
The outcome will be decided in the next strike.
Even though Qi Ling had been strengthened by Hua Yimeng and Hua Yidie and was in her best condition in history, she still felt powerless against the immense power of Clear Sky True Body.
The sheer power and overwhelming sense of oppression shocked Qi Ling. This truly lived up to its reputation as the Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world.
Admittedly, Qi Ling could easily dodge Tang San's attack. Because the power of the Clear Sky Hammer is so astonishing, Tang San is using it right in front of her, without the same ease as Shui Bing'er and the others. It's likely that one strike is already his limit.
But would Qi Ling do that? How could he? If he shirked such a challenge, what right would he have to be called the strongest, what right would he have to claim to be invincible?
" Dugu Yan, Tuoliya, Luna, Ye Lingling," Qi Ling said at this moment, "Excuse me, could you lend me your power for now?"
This battle was not just Qi Ling's battle, but the battle of the entire Qilin Team. Facing Tang San, who was unleashing his strongest attack, Qi Ling naturally had to counter with his own strongest attack as well, so as not to be disrespectful.
Upon hearing Qi Ling's call, the four nodded and raised their hands. Immediately, streams of Soul Power emanated from their hands and flowed into the enormous energy sphere, making its light even more brilliant.
"Hey, take this! Xiao San Qi... ah, no, Gaia Energy Cannon!" Holding up the massive energy cannon, Qi Ling charged towards the illusory figure of Haotian in the air.
Faced with Qi Ling's attack, Tang San slightly raised his hand, and the infinitely enlarged phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer met Qi Ling's attack. The huge hammer collided with the Gaia Energy Cannon, unleashing a fierce impact.
This energy clash was the most intense one in the competition so far. It was a clash between the entire Qilin Team and the world-renowned Clear Sky True Body, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
"It's truly unbelievable that I, an old man, would have the honor of witnessing the Clear Sky True Body here," Sword Douluo Chen Xin exclaimed. "What's even more unbelievable is that there actually is someone who can withstand the attack of the Clear Sky True Body at the Soul Ancestor realm."
Those around Chen Xin naturally understood what he meant. The power of Clear Sky True Body lay not only in his energy but also in his realm of cultivation!
That's a suppression of power that only Soul Saint, or even a suppression of the laws themselves!
Under such a level of suppression, even if both sides were of equal strength, there would be absolutely no chance of victory. Yet Qi Ling clearly blocked the attack of Clear Sky True Body. What does this signify?
The boy's talent was beyond imagination, because just when people thought they had thought he was exceptionally talented, he always managed to shatter their expectations once again.
Perhaps, only someone like this deserves to be called a born king.
The contest on the field, under the watchful eyes of everyone, quickly came to an end. After everything calmed down, only Tang San remained standing among the Shrek Seven Devils.
On the other hand, although all seven members of the Qilin Team were pale, none of them had fallen, making the outcome quite clear.
"Sorry, Xiao San," Qi Ling said with a smile, tapping Tang San's forehead with her finger, "You should rest for a bit."
Having endured the baptism of the Clear Sky True Body, Tang San now needs to rest and recover his energy. Moreover, this experience will be of great benefit to him, and he will likely gain some insights.
However, this power was clearly beyond his current capacity to withstand. Forcing a Soul Ancestor to possess the power of a Soul Saint was like giving a child a mountain-splitting axe; it would only hurt him.
So Qi Ling used a little trick to put Tang San into a deep sleep. Although he couldn't participate in the final ceremony, it was better than letting him suffer more serious injuries.
As for the other Shrek members, they all stood up and, with Oscar's sausages, began to recover their Soul Power.
"Oh dear, for a moment just now, I thought we could beat Boss Qi," Ma Hongjun said regretfully. "So, it really is just an unattainable dream?"
Dai Mubai shook his head and said, "You fatso, think about something practical!"
Just then, Pope Bibi Dong stood up, and at her signal, the cardinal beside her announced, " The Qilin Team has won the final victory in this Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy! Representatives of the Qilin Team, please come to the stage to receive your award!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qi Ling walked towards Bibi Dong in the Pope's Palace and took the brocade plate containing three Soul Bone from her hands.
"Hurry up." Just as Qi Ling received the brocade tray, a faint voice suddenly came to her ear. Although it was not very clear, it was incredibly real.
He immediately realized that this was clearly a method of transmitting sound into the ear, the purpose of which was to prevent others from knowing the content of the words. The reason for using this technique at such close range was simply to avoid being discovered by those around them.
Qi Ling then raised her head and looked at Bibi Dong in front of her, because the voice she had just heard had come from her.
In Bibi Dong's eyes, Qi Ling clearly saw a strong warning. He immediately understood that Bibi Dong was risking being discovered to convey a message to him.
What kind of danger could possibly elicit such a reaction from Bibi Dong? Even as the Pope, she couldn't openly expose this danger—could it originate from within the Spirit Hall itself?
Qi Ling didn't hear a word of blessing from the cardinal behind him. He was carrying the three Soul Bone and walking back while quickly thinking of a solution in his mind.
Since Bibi Dong issued a warning to them, it meant that the danger ahead was something they couldn't stop. All it would take was someone equal to Bibi Dong to easily annihilate them all.
Logically speaking, since Xiao Wu's identity hadn't been exposed, she shouldn't be in danger. However, Qi Ling intuitively felt that Bibi Dong wasn't lying to her.
So, despite having many questions in her heart, Qi Ling suppressed all her curiosity and finally made a decision in her heart: to immediately lead everyone, including the people from the Shrek Academy, to retreat as quickly as possible.
