"Wahahaha, I can finally stop hiding my strength! Auntie Rongrong was about to burst!" Ning Rongrong charged forward noisily. The little demoness had been suppressing her power for so long that she couldn't hold back any longer.
Now was the perfect time to vent!
Ning Rongrong transformed both her hands into dragon claws and rushed toward Yu Tianxin's battlefield.
Yu Tianxin naturally heard Ning Rongrong's loud declaration and smirked, suddenly thinking of something fun.
Without hesitation, Yu Tianxin activated his "Binding Lock" technique, trapping Tai Long in place.
"Rongrong, hammer him!"
Yu Tianxin's actions and words immediately delighted the little demoness.
With fists as large as sandbags and transformed into dragon claws, Ning Rongrong unleashed a barrage of punches on Tai Long like a torrential downpour.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Seeing that the situation was under control, Yu Tianxin released the lock and stepped back.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Strike!"
A small bluish purple dragon suddenly coiled around Ning Rongrong's right arm.
With a single punch, the dragon expanded dramatically, carrying thunderous force as it slammed into Tai Long, sending him flying out of the arena.
The members of the Spirit Hall Academy team suddenly sounded an internal alarm: 'When we face Shrek Academy tomorrow, we must avoid provoking those two auxiliary soul masters at all costs—their attacks are terrifying!'
Even a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Elder could stand up to a Soul King without fear. Their frail bodies wouldn't be able to withstand the Blue Lightning Divine Dragon Strike.
"Aaaaaaah!"
A piercing scream rang out as Tai Long soared through the air, leaving the Tian Dou Imperial Team with one less member.
On the other side, Yang Wu's battle was unfolding.
Yang Wu, wielding the Breaking Spear, entered a subtle state. His entire being became as sharp as a spear.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Soul!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Break!"
The Breaking Spear in Yang Wu's hands was completely engulfed in black energy, amplifying its destructive power.
Then, a circle of black flames erupted around his body, further enhancing the spear's attack power.
At this moment, Yang Wu radiated an overwhelming aura, like a sword drawn from its sheath, waiting for the perfect moment to strike a fatal blow!
This was Yang Wu's peak state—a unique condition he had discovered while sparring with Li Luochen.
Li Luochen had even demonstrated the "Six Battle Forms" to Yang Wu, hoping he could create his own fearless spear technique!
Li Luochen's assessment of the Breaking Clan was clear: Yang Wudi's limit was around level ninety one or ninety two, with combat power equivalent to a level ninety five Title Douluo—but only through a self-destructive fighting style that traded injuries for damage.
Yang Pojun, being younger, was stronger and had the potential to reach Super Douluo levels. However, breaking through to level ninety six would be a significant hurdle unless he acquired high age soul bones.
As for Yang Wu, Li Luochen believed he had the potential to reach the ultimate limit! At just over twenty years old, Yang Wu had already grasped the essence of spear techniques and created the foundation of his own fearless spear style.
Li Luochen was thrilled to nurture such a talent. He even used his God of Slaughter Domain and the Six Battle Forms to spar with Yang Wu, hoping to help him refine his spear techniques!
"Breaking Soul! Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!"
Yang Wu thrust his spear forward, unleashing an overwhelming surge of momentum!
Shi Mo and Shi Mo didn't dare to be careless, their fourth soul rings glowing brightly.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Eternal Defense!"
The twin brothers of the Xuan Wu Turtle unleashed their full defensive capabilities. After all, the Breaking Spear wielded by the Yang family specialized in single-attribute attacks, leaving no room for carelessness.
"Nine Treasures, each with a name! First, Strength! Second, Speed! Third, Soul!"
Three beams of supportive light enveloped Yang Wu. Ning Rongrong exited her Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon form and summoned her Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Tower, beginning to amplify his abilities.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Nine Hearts Soul Boost!"
Ye Lingling also activated her fourth soul skill to enhance Yang Wu. After evolving through the consumption of a nineth rank immortal lotus, her Nine Hearts Begonia had no flaws.
Not only had her original healing capabilities skyrocketed, but she had also gained the ability to boost teammates' soul power, greatly enhancing her supportive prowess.
With Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda Tower and Ye Lingling's support, anyone they assisted could effortlessly defeat opponents of higher ranks!
"Break!"
Yang Wu roared, shattering the twin brothers' defensive spirit weapons. Yu Tianxin and Zhu Zhuqing seized the opportunity to deliver follow up strikes, eliminating the two brothers from the match.
Now, only Tang San remained on the field.
Tang San had just endured a combined heavy punch from Oscar and Ma Hongjun, leaving his head spinning. When he struggled to his feet, shaking his head and observing his surroundings, he realized that all his teammates had already been eliminated.
Tang San's heart sank. If he could have directly used the seven person fusion technique, would the outcome have been different?
Was it his own tactical error? His unfamiliarity with the opponent's abilities? His ignorance of the explosive combat potential of the opposing auxiliary soul masters?
These mistakes led to his entire team's collapse. His Blue Silver Grass's control abilities were utterly useless against an opponent equipped with top-tier spirit weapons. Could his supposedly inferior Blue Silver Grass really lead him to victory?
At this moment, Tang San summoned the Hao Tian Hammer with his left hand. He gazed at the jet black hammer, which exuded a powerful aura.
If he had focused on cultivating the Hao Tian Hammer first, perhaps things would have turned out differently. As the world's number one weapon type spirit, it gave him the means to compete with his opponents.
Tang San had now fallen into deep self-doubt. He attributed all his failures to the Blue Silver Grass spirit. If he had relied on the Hao Tian Hammer instead, he wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat!
"The Hao Tian Hammer? What use is your ringless Hao Tian Hammer? Tang San, reveal all your remaining trump cards!"
Ma Hongjun crossed his arms, looking down on Tang San with the imposing aura of a king of birds!
"No, no, no! I won't lose!"
Tang San's inner demons surged, and he abandoned all restraint. He pulled out the Zhuge Crossbow and the Mother and Child Soul-Chasing Ball, launching them toward the Shrek Academy team.
Due to the loss of three fingers, Tang San fired the Zhuge Crossbow using his left middle finger, while the Mother and Child Soul-Chasing Ball was simply thrown—a technique that didn't require precise handling.
At this moment, Li Luochen, seated comfortably on his throne, was enraged by Tang San's reckless actions.
"How dare you!"
A massive surge of soul power crushed Tang San, shattering every bone in his body!
But it was too late—the hidden weapons had already been launched.
"Brother Ao! Rongrong! Sister Lingling!"
"Mm! Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun quickly reached a consensus. Oscar unleashed the Phoenix Meteor Shower to block the hidden weapons, while Ma Hongjun began charging his power.
Upon hearing Ma Hongjun call their names, Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling instinctively amplified his abilities.
"Nine Treasures, each with a name! First, Strength! Second, Speed! Third, Soul! Fourth, Defense!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Nine Hearts Soul Boost!"
"Sixth Soul Skill! Phoenix Cloud-Piercing Strike! Flame Burning Explosive Left Arm Bone Skill, Phoenix Explosion Strike! Earth King Left Leg Bone Skill, Magma Ground Splitting Charge!"
With the full support of the two auxiliary soul masters, Ma Hongjun's attack power surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Sage. The blazing flames of the phoenix melted Tang San's hidden weapons and neutralized their toxins.
In the face of pure phoenix flames, all poisons were rendered meaningless!
After Ma Hongjun finished dealing with the threat, Oscar also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Tang San's most troublesome aspect was his insidious and ruthless hidden weapons.
They had always been wary of this.
*Boom!*
Li Luochen descended from the sky! His eyes turned blood red as he lifted Tang San off the ground by the neck, choking him.
"Your Eminence, I protest this unauthorized..."
"Get lost!"
Li Luochen roared, sending a shockwave that caused Yu Xiaogang to bleed from all seven orifices and collapse unconscious.
Li Luochen glared at Tang San, releasing a pure and overwhelming killing intent. Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed—her usually humble son-in-law was now exploding with fury?
It seemed Tang San had crossed his red line.
"Tang San, to use weapons outside the rules during a match? It seems Lord Batian's lesson wasn't enough for you.
But you dared to harm my people! Today, I'll cripple your meridians and destroy your spirit weapon. Let's see how you'll cultivate after this!"
Li Luochen gathered soul power in his hand, choking Tang San by the neck while applying pressure. Blue Silver Grass emerged from Tang San's right hand, but with a flick of Li Luochen's finger, it began to shatter.
Tang San was in excruciating pain, unable to speak, his eyes fixed on Li Luochen.
"Stop!"
A massive Hao Tian Hammer crashed into the arena!
*Boom!*
Li Luochen pointed at the Blue Silver Grass.
