Chapter 79: The Final Battle, Exposing the Trash Yu Xiaogang
Tang San cast a cold glance toward the black-clothed youth in the distance.
He had waited a long time for this— a chance to face him once more.
During the very first match of the Heaven Dou division qualifiers, they underestimated his strength and ended up being completely crushed by him alone.
But this time, Tang San would fight with the combined strength of all seven Shrek members.
He firmly believed he could defeat that mysterious youth and wash away his previous humiliation.
If the opportunity arose, he even planned to take revenge— and deliver a fatal blow during the match.
As everyone watched, Bibi Dong slowly walked out from the gates of the Pope's Palace.
Behind her followed Ghost Leopard Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo.
Once all preparations were complete, the red-robed bishop referee announced:
"The team that wins this match shall be crowned with glory as the Grand Champion of this year's Continental Soul Master Tournament. Both teams, take the stage!"
The Shrek Seven had long been ready. Before the referee even finished speaking, they stepped forward with firm, steady strides, heading toward the center of the plaza.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Second Team remained standing quietly in place—
all except Gui Mei, who walked into the arena at a calm, unhurried pace.
No one was surprised. Even on the grandest stage of the final battle, this black-clothed youth still chose to face seven opponents alone.
On the battlefield, the Shrek Seven stared intensely at the lone figure before them, their eyes burning with fury.
Gui Mei's actions were blatant humiliation— a clear declaration that he did not take them seriously in the slightest.
But this only fueled their fighting spirit even more. They swore to prove their strength.
Outside the arena, Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with Sword Douluo.
"Uncle Sword, if things change unexpectedly, protect Rongrong first."
"Understood."
Ning Fengzhi knew that Yu Xiaogang had painstakingly prepared a top-secret strategy for the Shrek Seven Devils— a trump card technique that had yet to be revealed.
Even so, Ning Fengzhi worried about his daughter.
Gui Mei's strength was unfathomable. No one could predict what would happen once the match began.
As the future heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong could suffer no accidents whatsoever.
"You may begin releasing your martial souls and soul rings."
Before the referee finished speaking, the Shrek Seven moved.
They did not use their previous formation.
Instead, they retreated rapidly, forming a circle.
Oscar and Ning Rongrong took the central position, while Tang San and the remaining four circled them in swift, coordinated movements.
None of them released their martial souls immediately— but powerful waves of soul power poured out of their bodies, converging wildly toward the center of the circle.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's lips curled into a faint smile.
During the qualifiers, the Blue Sunshine Academy had used a similar formation.
However, all seven Blue Sunshine members possessed jewel-type martial souls. The Shrek Seven, on the other hand, had completely different martial souls—each unique and distinct.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who stood composed not far away, admiration welling up in his heart.
'As expected of the Grandmaster! With merely a single glance, he understood the essence behind Blue Sunshine Academy's tactic and fully reconstructed it. If Soul Masters with different martial souls can truly perform a multi-person fusion skill… it will shock the entire Soul Master world!'
Bibi Dong, the two Titled Douluo behind her, and the red-robed bishops all showed expressions of astonishment.
Even with their vast experience, they could not understand the Shrek team's current actions nor discern their true intention.
Bibi Dong lightly furrowed her brows, anticipation flickering in her eyes.
"Xiao Gang… is this the new achievement you've spent so much effort researching?"
On the arena—
Gui Mei's soul power surged within him, though he still did not release any soul rings.
He already knew that Tang San and the others were about to attempt a seven-person fusion skill. Yet he did not intend to interrupt them.
With a flash of light on his left arm, the Pitch Black Sword appeared in his grasp, radiating chilling killing intent.
Suddenly, the Shrek Seven's formation shifted.
The tightly linked circular formation suddenly shifted— transforming into a long, vertical serpent-like line.
Tang San stood firmly at the front, followed in order by Dai Mubai, Tai Long, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar.
As soon as the formation changed, the soul power each person had been gathering instantly merged into a single flow.
Tang San activated his skull bone and right leg bone, maximizing his physical strength.
Oscar pressed both hands on Ning Rongrong's back, pouring his soul power into her.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rose before Ning Rongrong. Its three soul rings shone brilliantly, and their radiance flowed into Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing transferred the gathered power to Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun passed it forward to Tai Long.
Tai Long channeled it to Dai Mubai.
And Dai Mubai gathered the combined soul power of five people— transforming it into a torrent of overwhelming force that surged straight into Tang San.
Tang San's body trembled violently under the impact of such vast power.
But he clenched his teeth and endured with unwavering determination.
This battle was his moment to prove himself— to erase his humiliation.
A fierce storm-like surge of soul power erupted from Tang San's entire body.
The might he now radiated had completely exceeded what a five-ring Soul King could ever possess.
Only now did Bibi Dong fully understand.
She glanced sideways at Yu Xiaogang, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Xiao Gang… you actually researched a seven-person integrated fusion technique. This time, you've finally proven your theories, making the entire world look at you differently…."
Bibi Dong knew this was not a true seven-person martial soul fusion skill.
But for seven completely different martial souls to merge their powers so perfectly—and channel them into one person—was enough to shock anyone.
Then suddenly, a dense black light appeared in Tang San's left palm without warning.
A small black hammer materialized out of thin air.
In the blink of an eye, it swelled in size—
growing until it was as large as a water barrel.
Its surface rippled with frenzied patterns, like black snake-shaped lightning slithering across the hammer's head.
At that moment, Tang San seemed to fuse completely with the Clear Sky Hammer, his aura exploding like a volcanic eruption.
Everyone present was stunned.
This was the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number-one weapon-type martial soul! And it was in Martial Soul True Body form!
Only Soul Saint and above could release their martial soul true body.
And now, empowered by the full strength of seven people, Tang San's soul power had skyrocketed into the Soul Saint rank.
The dominance and oppressive aura of the Clear Sky Hammer true body surged across the arena like an invisible tidal wave, suffocating all who felt it.
Bibi Dong's eyes widened— filled with shock, fury, and disbelief.
She had always known Tang San possessed twin martial souls. But she never knew the second one was the Clear Sky Hammer.
'Xiao Gang… why did you hide this from me?! Why didn't you tell me Tang San was from the Clear Sky Sect?!'
Bibi Dong felt utterly deceived.
She had even planned to draw Yu Xiaogang and Tang San over to Spirit Hall.
Now she realized how laughable that idea was.
On the battlefield—
Tang San gripped the massive Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, glaring at Gui Mei, ready to strike.
Gui Mei stood proudly at the center of the arena, completely fearless.
"You little beggar. You killed Shi Nian and stole his multi-person fusion technique. Did you really think that would allow you to defeat me?
Too bad. Your teacher, Yu Xiaogang, is trash. He only copied the surface and never understood the true essence.
A fake Clear Sky Hammer true body… nothing but pathetic garbage."
The moment Gui Mei finished speaking, he blurred into a streak of shadow— and shot upward into the sky.
