Chapter 152: Tang Hao Wants to Kill the Grandmaster

"Clear Sky Hammer?!" Xue Xing's expression was one of shock, and he turned his head to look at Dugu Bo.

"It is the Clear Sky Hammer." Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

Ning Fengzhi's pupils also contracted violently; he had not expected that Tang San actually possessed Twin Spirits. Because of this change, Tang San's position in the depths of his heart had risen once again.

"I wonder if Tang Hao has a way to solve the problem of Twin Spirits. If he does, then Tang San's future achievements and strength..."

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi looked at Shi Quan, and his gaze became complex once more.

"Clear Sky Hammer? Your second martial soul is actually the Clear Sky Hammer? Are you a member of the Clear Sky Sect?" Shi Quan feigned surprise, raising his sword to point directly at Tang San, "Come, let me see the power of this number one Tool Spirit under heaven."

In the absence of Hidden Weapons, the Clear Sky Hammer was already Tang San's final trump card.

The goal had already been achieved, and it was time to carry out the final crushing.

"As you wish." Tang San's tone also returned to being calm; phantom images appeared beneath his feet, and purple light flickered in his eyes.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track—Tang San's figure turned into a phantom, his hands stained with Jade White, and the light of the Purple Demon Eye flickered as he rushed toward Shi Quan.

This kind of bulky weapon, in front of a nimble weapon like a sword, was nothing more than a human-shaped target as long as it couldn't make contact.

Shi Quan's eyes narrowed slightly; the Clear Sky Hammer had no soul skills, so all Tang San could rely on were the Martial Arts recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Stepping out horizontally, Shi Quan's figure also turned into a residual image and shifted toward Tang San.

This was one benefit of a martial soul: even if thrown away, it could be recalled by dismissing the martial soul and summoning it again.

Under normal circumstances, this method would only be used at the Soul Scholar stage; in a situation like Tang San's where no Soul Ring was attached, one could also utilize this method at will.

Tang San, whose body was being carried by inertia into a spin, suddenly felt a pain in his side; the Clear Sky Hammer was very heavy to him, ten times that of an ordinary forging hammer. It was not difficult for Tang San to wield it by coordinating the force of his legs, arms, and waist, but when his body rotated to one side, the other side was left exposed. At that moment, it was not easy to immediately twist the heavy Clear Sky Hammer in his hand back, not to mention that he was already injured.

"Chaotic Cloak?" There was nothing but disdain in the depths of Shi Quan's eyes. If it were a Clear Sky Hammer after Tang Hao's special training, perhaps Shi Quan would still have some misgivings, but based on Tang San's current Chaotic Cloak, in Shi Quan's eyes, it was full of flaws.

"Damn it!" Tang San endured the intense pain, accelerating the circulation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body to recover from his injuries, stabilizing his figure to swing the Clear Sky Hammer and bombard Shi Quan at an even faster speed.

"Can't go on like this." In the blink of an eye, Tang San had already made a decision. Seeing that Shi Quan was about to dodge again, his hands, which were tightly gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, suddenly let go, and the black Clear Sky Hammer immediately flew out, striking toward Shi Quan.

With a tip of his toes, his figure drifted away to avoid the attack, and the next second, the Blue Silver Devouring Emperor Sword stabbed out from the left side of Tang San's waist.

"Not stupid to that extent, after all." Seeing this, Shi Quan tilted his sword and slashed, executing Universe Shift; following the momentum to divert it, the incoming Clear Sky Hammer flew off diagonally in front of Shi Quan.

However, there was a prerequisite for this, which was not releasing a soul skill, because once the martial soul summoning was dismissed, the amplification effect brought by the soul skill would disappear along with it.

The Blue Silver Grass martial soul and soul power level had already completely crushed Tang San, so now he would crush Tang San in terms of Martial Arts.

"Is this the Clear Sky Hammer?" There was undisguised mockery in the depths of Shi Quan's eyes. He did not intend to end the battle so quickly, so both of his attacks had avoided vital points.

After a simple touch, Shi Quan had already roughly estimated the specific weight of the Clear Sky Hammer: over three hundred jin. This was still without an attached Soul Ring; if a Soul Ring were attached, the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer would be even heavier. With such weight, in a head-on collision, it really was one hammer per child; no wonder it was called the number one Tool Spirit under heaven.

"Damn it!" Tang San's face flushed red. He also discovered a problem: the Clear Sky Hammer was too heavy, while conversely, Shi Quan's long sword was very flexible, and Shi Quan's movements were not slow either. If he kept swinging like this, he feared that before the Chaotic Cloak could accumulate, he would die from his severe injuries.

When Tang San threw the Clear Sky Hammer, Shi Quan had already anticipated Tang San's idea; this move could indeed minimize the impact of the Clear Sky Hammer's weight on him.

The Chaotic Cloak uses force to strike with force; the speed and power will only get faster and faster.

Seeing Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer strike from left to right, Shi Quan shifted horizontally in the opposite direction, moving toward the right as well, and the Blue Silver Devouring Emperor Sword in his hand followed the momentum to slash across Tang San's waist and abdomen. The openings were truly so numerous that Shi Quan could not bear to look.

Tang San's expression remained unchanged. Borrowing the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer and the inertia of his body, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, twisted his waist, and his body immediately brought the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand to swing a sweep, carrying a gale toward Shi Quan—this was the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!

The Clear Sky Hammer flew out, and Tang San's figure first stumbled, then quickly stepped out with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to rapidly dissipate the power of the Chaotic Cloak. Then, he quickly closed the distance; until he was close, Tang San suddenly leaped up, black light flickered on his left hand again, the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand once more, and he slammed it toward Shi Quan, utilizing the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer.

"The weight of this Clear Sky Hammer is truly a bug."

Shi Quan naturally would not waste physical strength and soul power to go head-to-head with Tang San.

He stepped back with a spring.

Boom!

One hammer landed, and a deep pit was instantly smashed into the arena. Failing to hit, Tang San immediately dismissed his martial soul and took the opportunity to grasp several pieces of rubble from the arena to throw, taking the chance to retreat.

With a few sword flowers, Shi Quan shattered the rubble one by one.

"He doesn't dare to go head-to-head with my Clear Sky Hammer." Tang San's gaze looked intentionally or unintentionally toward the broken spear of the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances at the side of the arena.

"Dodged three times, it's time to take the initiative." Shi Quan stepped out with his sword, the aura around his body changed instantly, he stepped and shifted out, and the Blue Silver Devouring Emperor Sword slashed out horizontally.

Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly summoned the Clear Sky Hammer to block. Although Tang San could reduce the impact of the Clear Sky Hammer's weight on him by frequently summoning it, in the face of frequent attacks, this action became ineffective.

The Blue Silver Devouring Emperor Sword was over a meter long, while Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer was only forty or fifty centimeters, not even half the length of Shi Quan's sword.

One inch longer, one inch stronger.

The Broken Whip Style was unleashed.

Tang San's hammer technique, which couldn't even be called a half-baked one, collapsed instantly.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Tang San was kicked flying by Shi Quan. His arms, waist, abdomen, and chest were all covered in several gruesome flesh wounds.

"Wah!" The violent impact caused Tang San to vomit blood again.

"Is this your so-called trump card?" Shi Quan walked slowly toward Tang San, "Your application of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is truly too poor; you can't even block one of my sword strikes."

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, you can't even control your Blue Silver Grass, let alone a top-tier martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer. What is the use of having one more martial soul?"

The voice echoed, and Shi Quan's tall, straight figure arrived in front of Tang San, followed by the blue-gold long sword.

Tang San was pale; he endured the pain and raised the Clear Sky Hammer to block.

"Boom!" Under the violent sound of the collision, Tang San's figure was knocked flying again, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was also knocked down by Shi Quan's sword.

Tang San, who had landed on the ground, spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Your performance has truly disappointed me."

"Let me tell you one more thing. Back when I was at Notting Academy, I could feel that your Blue Silver Grass martial soul had a certain sense of oppression toward my Blue Silver Grass martial soul; it was a sense of bloodline oppression originating from a superior."

"It was also at that time that I knew your Blue Silver Grass was not as ordinary as it looked, and that the Blue Silver Grass was not without room for development."

"So I have been studying the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, looking for a method of martial soul evolution. In the end, I found it. Although my martial soul evolved into the Blue Silver King, when facing you in Soto City, that sense of bloodline oppression still existed, but it was much weaker than before, and I could feel that your bloodline had become mixed."

"When I left Notting Academy, I had already warned you that plant-type martial souls are best off absorbing plant-type Spirit Beasts. Your Blue Silver Grass already had an impact on the Life Attribute after adding the poison attribute. If I'm not mistaken, your Third Soul Ring was still absorbed from a beast-type Spirit Beast, right? On the basis of the poison attribute, you added the Devouring Attribute; these two attributes suppressed the Life Attribute once again."

"And your Blue Silver Grass must have mutated recently for some reason, and this mutation also caused the sense of bloodline oppression your Blue Silver Grass had toward mine to dissipate completely. In other words, because of your reckless addition of Soul Rings, the top-tier bloodline of your original Blue Silver Grass martial soul has already begun to mutate toward a lower-grade Blue Silver Grass martial soul."

"A perfectly good top-tier Blue Silver Grass martial soul, yet it was forcibly ruined by being raised poorly."

The disappointment in his words could not be concealed.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face on the stage instantly turned deathly pale.

"Damn it, could he be talking about Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline?"

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, also had his expression change in shock upon hearing this, and a thick intent to kill emerged in his gaze toward Master.

"To kill a man and condemn his heart; Shi Quan has been with Dugu Bo for too long and has truly inherited his mantle, hasn't he?"

On the VIP platform, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered.

"Mr. Dugu, according to what Shi Quan said, has this Tang San been taught into uselessness by that so-called Master?" Xue Xing asked Dugu Bo without any hesitation.

"Whether he is useless or not, I am not sure." Dugu Bo's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked into the distance, then he said indifferently: "I only know that Xiao Quan's martial soul theory has, up until now, never been wrong."

Sword Douluo's voice reached Ning Fengzhi's ear: "Fengzhi, that fellow Tang Hao should be hiding nearby; he just released a trace of killing intent, and it should have been discovered by Dugu Bo."

"It seems that what Xiao Quan said on the stage just now should be true; this Tang San's martial soul is actually not ordinary Blue Silver Grass? But thinking about it, a martial soul capable of being a twin with the Clear Sky Hammer could hardly be an ordinary one. However, who exactly is Tang San's mother? A powerful female expert with a top-tier Blue Silver Grass martial soul—how have I never heard of her? It seems Tang Hao's affairs back then were not simple; I must investigate this thoroughly."

A flash of brilliance passed through Ning Fengzhi's eyes.
