Chapter 221: Thunder Sound

Sizzle—

Boom—

Black Thunder surged from the red mist like a black behemoth tearing at the red mist madly, until it was completely devoured.

In the center of the arena, Tie Li's figure collided with Yao Mei once again.

From the current situation, Yao Mei is suppressing Tie Li.

After breaking through the red mist, Tie Li deactivated the Fifth Soul Technique; the Ultimate Attribute's consumption was too great.

"It's over. Let me show you my self‑created soul technique, Round Moon!"

The uncanny figure spun like a whirlwind; the moon blade and body vanished in an instant, replaced by a massive white disc.

It was an almost flawless self‑created soul technique, making him the foremost of the Spirit Hall's younger generation.

He even, relying on his self‑created soul technique, personally defeated his own teacher, a Level‑68 Soul Emperor.

"Overpursuing perfection and abandoning the most important part, your self‑created soul technique can only be called mediocre."

Tie Li saw the problem at a glance; having no flaw can sometimes be the greatest weakness.

That is why he described Round Moon as mediocre rather than ordinary.

The Black Thunder surrounding Tie Li grew ferocious; even without the Ultimate Attribute's boost, he felt confident enough.

Under the unique thunder‑electric frequency of the Thunder Dragon Hammer, dozens of Black Thunder strands coiled around Tie Li like Poison Snakes, each snake bearing a different frequency.

Three Thunder Sounds manifested on Tie Li simultaneously, each augmenting his physique.

The only time the Shock Sound was used in the Soul Master Competition, it ignored all control effects, and each attack carried a tremor effect.

Tie Li's deepest insight was the Shock Sound, followed by the Collapse Sound and Penetrating Sound!

Casting three Thunder Sounds together not only stacks their effects, but the synergy among the three greatly amplifies the Thunder Sound effect.

If one could wield six Thunder Sounds at once, the bodily enhancement would reach an extreme.

Yet in a thousand years of the Fenglei Sect, no one has managed it.

If one day Tie Li could cast six Thunder Sounds simultaneously, granting his body ultimate amplification, then his mastered Thunder Dragon Six Sounds could no longer be called Thunder Dragon Six Sounds, but … the Thunder God Body!

Collapse Sound amplifies attack power and soul skills, adding a collapse effect to attacks that greatly weakens the opponent's healing.

Penetrating Sound ignores all defenses; each attack may inflict extra damage.

Any single Thunder Sound is amplified by the other two; stacking three Thunder Sounds yields an enhancement exceeding one hundred percent.

Tie Li employed the First Soul Technique and the Third Soul Technique to augment his body, yet even so, casting three Thunder Sounds placed a terrifying burden on his body.

But it also meant Tie Li's attacks reached a staggering level.

"Hm?"

Bibi Dong, upon seeing Tie Li unleash three Thunder Sounds, showed such heavy murderous intent for the first time.

The Kiku Ghost Douluo below trembled; as titled Douluo, they unexpectedly felt inner fear at that moment.

Boom—

A deafening crash rang out; this flawless self‑created soul technique, after receiving just one hammer strike from Tie Li, completely shattered.

Even the Soul Fusion Technique was forcibly interrupted, and Xie Yue and Hu Liena were flung backward.

Pfft—

Both spat a mouthful of fresh blood, their expressions listless.

Tie Li's condition was equally grim, but he was not wounded by Yao Mei; the powerful amplification of the three Thunder Sounds injured him.

A streak of blood leaked from his mouth corner, his body trembled unnaturally, and his Soul Ring dimmed.

Yet without any soul‑skill amplification, Tie Li still swung the Thunder Dragon Hammer toward Xie Yue and Hu Liena.

"Wait, we concede!"

The Team‑leading Teacher of the martial soul Dian Team below, fearing an accident for the two, immediately forfeited the match.

The two are the Spirit Hall's most outstanding prodigies; of course they could not be allowed to suffer mishaps.

But the Team‑leading Teacher's action also thwarted Hu Liena's scheme.

"Who told you to concede."

A resentful Hu Liena shouted angrily at the Team‑leading Teacher below.

She aims to defeat Tie Li, to surpass the Fenglei Sect's inheritor disciple; the Elders have paved that path for her, and she must win this match.

Defeating Tie Li is more than just a victory.

Yet under everyone's gaze, having already conceded, even if the referee is a Soul Master of the Spirit Hall, they dare not act rashly in such a situation and can only announce the result.

"Round One, Tiandou Royal Team, win!"

Back beneath the arena, Tie Li felt every part of his body endure tearing agony.

He let out no wail, forced himself to sit upright, cold sweat covering his forehead and back, indicating his condition was off.

Zhao Tianhe immediately summoned a healing Soul Master; under the healing soul skill, the pain eased considerably.

The second round featured Gu Qi and Ning Ning, who faced Yan and a Spirit Hall Soul Ancestor member.

The result was obvious; within a few rounds they suffered a crushing defeat and were eliminated.

The third round's showdown was even worse.

Three Soul Elders versus three Soul Ancestors—a massive level gap that doomed the outcome.

The martial soul Dian Team advanced to the next round, while the Tiandou Royal Team was eliminated.

This result was unsurprising; overall, the Tiandou Royal Team's secondary squad had never been strong, and their only reliance was Tie Li, the Soul King.

But when the competition rules changed, the overall weakness was magnified infinitely.

Today's second semifinal featured the Tiandou Royal Team Main Team against the Shilake Team.

The 2‑2‑3 format gave the Tiandou Royal Team Main Team a higher chance of victory.

Yu Tianheng and Du Gu Yan, the Shi brothers and Ye Lingling, they are the chance to win.

The team's Team-leading Teacher tried to guess Tang San's order of appearance, hoping to exchange our inferior horse for their superior horse.

His approach had no problem, but it needed a bit of luck's support.

But his luck seemed not good, Yu Tianheng and Du Gu Yan faced off against Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Master, indeed just as you predicted." Dai Mubai said.

"Only in this way do they have a chance to win; with Tang San and Xiao Wu's strength, taking down Yu Tianheng and Du Gu Yan should be no problem." Yu Xiaogang said lightly.

"I don't think so." Bone Douluo suddenly said.

"Grandpa Bone, San Ge is a Soul King, and he also added a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to the Haotian Hammer Weapon Soul; dealing with Yu Tianheng and Du Gu Yan, he should surely win." Ning Rongrong said, somewhat puzzled.

Bone Douluo rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, didn't speak, but his gaze lingered on Du Gu Yan, his brows occasionally furrowing.

For now, we cannot yet confirm what we think; we can only wait for the match to start, and then judge the true situation from the soul power fluctuations released by both sides.

The match on the stage has already begun; the overwhelming advantage everyone imagined did not appear, instead giving a feeling of evenly matched forces.
