"Elephant Armor Sect!"
At this moment, the Elephant Armor Sect was already buzzing with excitement, their heads spinning with joy at the sight of their sect master breaking through to Title Douluo.
"We of the Elephant Armor Sect will not participate in the remaining matches."
Having successfully been selected as one of the top three sects, even if just at the bottom, Hu Yanzhen was already content. After all, he truly couldn't beat the other two.
As Hu Yanzhen stepped down from the stage, forfeiting the chance to compete for ranking, only the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect remained.
"Tang Zhen, do you dare to fight? The title of the number one sect in the world should belong to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Bone Douluo suddenly took off from the stage and slowly landed on the platform.
To compete for the title of the number one sect in the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been striving for generations, and today they had to give it their all.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was no longer able to contend, Gu Rong could use all his strength without any worries, exhausting Tang Zhen, the only remaining seed of the Clear Sky Sect, would be a victory in itself.
He didn't believe Tang Zhen could fight against two Title Douluo, especially two like him and Sword Douluo, who were not weak.
"Gu Rong, the position of my Clear Sky Sect is not something you, a support sect, can occupy!"
Being pointed at and challenged by Gu Rong felt like an insult to Tang Zhen. If his father were still alive, how could these people dare to provoke the dignity of the Clear Sky Sect?
"Hmph, today, the position of the number one sect in the world should indeed be held by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Hearing Tang Zhen look down on their support sect, Gu Rong also became angry.
At this moment, watching the two Title Douluo clash, Qian Xunfeng didn't stop them, because he wanted to see just how much the Clear Sky Sect looked down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Would Ning Fengzhi still have the gall to try and ally with the top three sects?
"Bone Dragon Attachment."
Gu Rong roared, his form beginning to swell. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings surrounded him.
"Martial Soul True Body."
To be on the safe side, Gu Rong immediately released his Martial Soul True Body.
As Gu Rong's body grew, his limbs transformed into sharp bone dragon claws. His flesh turned into snow-white bones, and his entire body exuded a gray aura of death. A bone dragon over ten meters long coiled on the stage.
Seeing Gu Rong release his Martial Soul True Body, Tang Zhen could see his intentions. He was simply going all out to exhaust himself, so that Sword Douluo could follow up.
After all, among the original top three sects, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Title Douluos.
"Even if it's one against two, the Clear Sky Sect isn't at all inferior."
With those words, Tang Zhen summoned his Clear Sky Hammer. Nine spirit rings appeared, and the aura emanating from him was even stronger than the Bone Dragon that Gu Rong had transformed into.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Bone Dragon's Breath."
"Eighth Soul Skill: Clear Sky Shattering Heaven."
As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. Gu Rong flapped his bone wings, and with a flash of his eighth spirit ring, a jet of dark blue dragon breath erupted.
The collision of the two attacks created a deafening roar, making the audience on the stage feel their ears buzzing.
"Clear Sky True Body."
"Clear Sky Bodyguard!"
Clear Sky Nine Absolutes - Collapse Word Absolute!
As if worried about being worn down, Tang Zhen no longer held back. He continuously slammed his massive Clear Sky Hammer towards the bone dragon in the sky.
He was confident he could defeat Gu Rong, but he wasn't so sure about the Sword Douluo. Therefore, he had to make this a quick fight.
"Bone Spikes!"
After using his Clear Sky True Body and Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Tang Zhen's aura multiplied several times. He relentlessly hammered at the bone dragon in the sky, which was constantly manipulating its Bone Spikes.
Qian Xunfeng couldn't help but be surprised by their fight. Both fighters were undeniably stubborn.
They were just going head-to-head. Gu Rong was even more audacious. Flying in the sky, he didn't dodge the incoming hammer. Instead, he directly used the bone dragon's powerful body to endure the blows.
At this moment, on the Spirit Arena, Gu Rong had fallen into a disadvantage due to withstanding several strikes. Cracks had begun to appear on his bones.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Clear Sky Myriad Pound Hammer."
BOOM!
With a thunderous crash, the enormous hammer slammed down, sending the entire bone dragon plummeting. Even the specially reinforced ground of the arena shattered into pieces.
"Congratulations, Tang Zhen of the Clear Sky Sect, on your victory."
With Tang Zhen's victory, the Clear Sky Sect disciples watching breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally won.
Having reverted to his original form, Gu Rong limped back to Ning Fengzhi's side, his face flushed with shame.
"Sigh, I didn't expect the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes to be so powerful. I couldn't even withstand five moves."
How could you have resisted?
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly. He hadn't expected Gu Rong to defeat Tang Zhen in the first place. After all, the Clear Sky Hammer's power was plain for all to see.
"Old sword, whether or not we become the number one sect in the world depends on you."
Although he was injured, he quickly recovered after treatment from several healing Soul Masters.
"Rest assured, I'm not as useless as you are, you old bag of bones."
Sword Douluo patted his good friend's shoulder and said lightly.
"Hmph, don't get ahead of yourself."
Bone Douluo snorted coldly and returned to his seat, fuming.
The rest time was fleeting. At this moment, Tang Zhen had only recovered seventy to eighty percent of his soul power. Facing Sword Douluo at his peak, his chances of winning were even more slim.
As soon as they took the stage, Tang Zhen used his Clear Sky True Body, his fighting style very aggressive.
"Raging Storm Hammer Technique!"
Dong dong dong!
The sound of hammers and the clashing of metal rang out, each strike aimed at Sword Douluo becoming more powerful than the last.
With each hammer blow, Tang Zhen's aura strengthened.
He was building up power, and it was a very long wind-up.
Seeing this, Qian Xunfeng couldn't help but feel speechless. This hammer attack has such a long wind-up, how did my old man lose?
Just interrupt it or dodge it, wouldn't that be enough?
On the field, as Tang Zhen completed the eighty-first hammer strike, the surrounding air surged, and the world changed color. The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Zhen's hand seemed to be accompanied by rumbling thunder.
"Raging Storm Hammer Technique, eighty-first strike!"
One hammer blow descended, and Sword Douluo, who had been handling the situation with ease, felt the breath of death, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
It was just a ranking match, and this old dog, Tang Zhen, actually wanted his life!
"Human Sword Unity, second soul skill: Spirit Sword Guard, ninth soul skill: God and Demon Two Slashes."
The collision of the two auras caused a soul power surge that made the soul masters near the stage gasp for breath.
"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Nine Nines Return to One."
Looking at the sword energy that was slashing towards him, Tang Zhen, who had long been blinded by the desire to uphold the Clear Sky Sect's reputation, didn't dodge. He was directly struck by the sword energy, but he also released his final decisive blow.
"Ring Explosion, nine rings explode together!"
As the nine soul rings on Tang Zhen's body exploded, his aura multiplied dozens of times. The Clear Sky Hammer, mixed with rolling thunder, instantly fell.
"Not good, he's actually trying to kill him!"
Sword Douluo's forehead was beaded with sweat. He couldn't understand why Tang Zhen would disregard his own safety and insist on taking his strongest attack head-on.
"If I'm hit, I'm definitely dead."
What was originally just an ordinary ranking match had turned into a life-or-death duel.
Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to fall, Sword Douluo chickened out. He didn't dare to take the hit, and instead accelerated with all his might, dodging the blow.
For a moment, the expressions of everyone on the stage changed. The referee even exclaimed:
"What! Sword Douluo actually dodged Clear Sky Douluo's strongest attack!"
