"However, it could play a crucial role in times of life or death, especially the ultimate mystery of Exploding Rings, the Great Sumeru Hammer. It's said that after using the Great Sumeru Hammer, fighting beyond one's level is a piece of cake," Vina said, changing the subject.
"Young master, how much do you know about Exploding Rings?" Xiang Wuqing was like a curious child at this moment.
The others also looked at Huo Yuhao with anticipation. Although Exploding Rings had risks, who would care so much when faced with life or death?
Huo Yuhao glanced at him lightly and said calmly, "Exploding Rings isn't a secret. There are records related to it within the sect. The power of the soul skill after using Exploding Rings will increase a lot, but you must pay attention not to explode all your soul rings. Unless you master a self-created soul skill, you'll only have a vast amount of soul power."
"These were all left behind by the Clear Sky Sect's ancestor, Tang Chen. Although they're good, they are outdated moves. I didn't expect that after ten thousand years, it would still be like this. Times are progressing, but the Clear Sky Sect is sticking to its old ways and will eventually fall behind, unable to maintain its former glory." Huo Yuhao spoke with a tone of emotion.
Xiang Wuqing and the others were speechless. They wanted to say that Huo Yuhao's tone was too arrogant, but thinking about this guy's freakish strength, they could only shut their mouths.
Moreover, their young master's self-created soul skills were one after another, and the descendants of the Clear Sky Sect were indeed not worthy of comparison.
Du Busi's mouth twitched. He felt like Huo Yuhao was belittling the Clear Sky Sect, but he had no proof.
While the people from the Body Sect were talking, the match entered its climax. Tang Ling had already swung his hammer thirty-one times in a row, and two members of the Sun Moon team had already been eliminated.
Seeing Tang Ling's incredible display of power, all of Xiao Hongchen's soul tools crumbled and fell, the soul tools themselves turning into metal powder and dissipating. "Meng." Xiao Hongchen's voice was soft, but it was filled with resolution.
The unspoken understanding between siblings was beyond words. You could say that if Xiao Hongchen twitched his butt, Meng Hongchen would know what he was about to do.
The next moment, the sword-shaped soul tool in Meng Hongchen's hand also disappeared, and she quickly approached Xiao Hongchen, then threw herself into his embrace.
As they embraced, a beam of light, a mixture of gold and ice blue, shot into the sky, instantly engulfing their forms.
The beam of light condensed in the air, transforming into a giant toad. The toad formed by the beam of light was not the golden color of Xiao Hongchen's Three-legged Golden Toad, nor the ice blue of Meng Hongchen's Crimson Ice Toad, but a red color that emitted a metallic luster.
The toad's body was five meters tall, and the crimson-gold luster rendered it incredibly beautiful, with only its eyes being as black as an abyss.
"Not good, everyone be careful, it's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Xu Jiujiu shouted, a look of horror on her delicate face.
All along, she had felt a sense of superiority, as if she had the situation under control. But now, the trump card of Xiao Hongchen and his sister was the biggest surprise. The power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill from two Soul Kings... just how powerful would it be?
Xu Jiujiu's gaze turned to Tang Ling. Perhaps only he could contend with Xiao Hongchen and his sister now.
Tang Ling, still wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, felt his heart tighten. How could he not know how powerful a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was?
Faster, faster! Tang Ling thought anxiously. The Raging Storm Hammer, when cultivated to its peak, allowed for eighty-one consecutive swings. But normally, achieving the Great Perfection of the Raging Storm Hammer required at least a Soul Douluo's cultivation.
Unfortunately, Tang Ling's best record so far was only a meager forty-eight consecutive swings.
Xiao Hongchen and his sister's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was also about to be completed. The crimson toad opened its large mouth, and inside, a crimson-golden vortex spun violently, as if ready to spew forth at any moment.
"I have to say, you've really given me a big surprise. The Clear Sky Hammer, Exploding Rings, hehe, but it ends here. Let me show you what a truly powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill is. Worldly Yearning."
Xiao Hongchen's voice echoed throughout the arena, his tone both pleased and instructive – but really, he was just showing off.
As Xiao Hongchen's words fell, the golden halo in the sky expanded. Worldly Yearning had finally finished charging. The vortex-shaped crimson-gold light transformed into a torrent, cascading downwards towards the tiny figure on the ground.
Raging Storm Hammer had reached the forty-sixth strike. Only two more strikes remained until Tang Ling's limit, but he didn't have the time.
A Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Worldly Yearning, versus a Clear Sky Hammer Raging Storm Hammer plus a Wind-Fire Tornado.
In the end, the scene became a clash of ultimate moves. Both sides had tried to interrupt the other, but at this crucial moment, who dared to be careless?
To this end, the Sun Moon team didn't hesitate to use four Grade 4 invincibility shields. Their extravagance was simply inhumane!
"Hah!" Tang Ling screamed, his voice cracking. The high-pitched sound was enough to give anyone goosebumps. Wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, he fiercely smashed it towards the falling crimson-gold light. The forty-sixth strike. Tang Ling could only manage forty-six strikes in the end.
But just as Tang Ling unleashed this ultimate attack, his only remaining fifth spirit ring exploded. Thanks to this, the frenzied aura on Tang Ling's body surged again.
"Tang Ling, you continue. We'll hold him back."
It was the control-type spirit master, Yi Chen, who spoke. At this moment, besides Tang Ling, only she and Wang Shiying's combined Wind-Fire Tornado had a chance of stopping Worldly Yearning.
The two women pushed forward with their palms, sending a massive Wind-Fire Tornado to collide with Worldly Yearning. Flames danced wildly, and wind blades shot out in all directions.
Screech!
A sound like tearing thin cloth rang out. There was no scene of them being evenly matched. The Wind-Fire Tornado only paused for a moment after coming into contact with the scarlet-gold light before it was pierced.
The scarlet-gold light flowed downwards like a giant sword, tearing the huge Wind-Fire Tornado apart.
With a single blow, the massive flame tornado collapsed. Flames danced wildly, and wind blades raged. The smooth arena was now a mess again, riddled with pits and holes. Some were melted by the flames, and others were cut by the wind blades.
Someone from the Sun Moon team stood in front of the Xiao Hongchen siblings, opening a defensive shield. Although the flame wasn't very hot, it would still take off a layer of skin at the very least if it landed on someone.
The main reason was that Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen couldn't move while using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
With the obstacle cleared, the scarlet-red toad in the sky moved its mouth slightly, adjusting its direction to continue attacking Tang Ling.
"Clear Sky Hammer, Raging Storm Hammer." Tang Ling yelled hysterically, as if shouting louder would scare away the falling crimson-gold light.
Boom!
After exploding five rings in a row, the Clear Sky Hammer's aura was terrifying. The hammer's head spewed black light, and at last, the Clear Sky Hammer, emitting billowing black qi, collided with Worldly Yearning.
The stage trembled slightly at the collision of the two attacks. The ground beneath Tang Ling's feet cracked into a spiderweb pattern. At the same time, Tang Ling's body was shaking violently, especially his arms. His sleeves instantly shattered, and his arms were covered in blood and flesh.
