Seeing that Tang San was still unharmed, and that the fifth soul ring had undergone changes, Sea Demon Douluo stopped.
"Too tired, I'm not blowing anymore."
The ninth soul skill halted, and Sea Demon Douluo felt weak and took deep breaths.
Tang San opened his eyes, excitement in his gaze.
Oscar asked in surprise, "Xiao San, what's going on?"
Tang San said excitedly, "Because the ninth soul skill of Sea Demon Douluo stimulated it, my fifth soul ring evolved. My fifth soul ring willingly became my soul ring. It was the Blue Silver King, who calls me master, because my martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor. And now the Blue Silver King has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, so the fifth soul ring has become one hundred thousand years."
Sea Demon Douluo suddenly understood, "Because of my flute sound, your fifth soul ring evolved and broke through its limits?"
"Yes, thank you, senior." Tang San bowed.
"No problem, but you still have to challenge one more person, and the difficulty will be greater, after all, Sea Dragon Douluo is the strongest among us seven."
Tang San soon arrived before the Sea Dragon Pillar, the highest sacred pillar around which a blue giant dragon spiraled.
Atop the sacred pillar stood an elder, two meters tall, with a broad build, blue curls of hair, and a blue dragon tattooed on his back, like the one spiraling around the sacred pillar.
Sea Dragon Douluo said, "You came quicker than I expected. You defeated the previous six people in just two days. Although you used tactics, it was reasonable."
Tang San's gaze sharpened; this was the final battle, also the most difficult one.
Sea Dragon Douluo's best configuration of nine soul rings appeared around him, his body covered with blue dragon scales, and a giant blue dragon phantom appeared behind him.
Sea Dragon Douluo, a Strong Attack Type War Soul Master, and his martial soul is as top-tier as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaur, except one is thunder attribute, and the other is water attribute.
Sea Dragon Douluo reminded, "Tang San, don't use your Slaying God Domain and Blue Silver Domain, because among the Seven Douluo, only I possess a domain. My domain has the ability to nullify any domain ability, it's called the Demon-breaking Domain."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was shaken. The vast Douluo Continent has all kinds of wonders, and there was such a domain that rendered all other domains ineffective.
Without the two major domains, unable to weaken the target and amplify himself, unable to absorb, his strength was greatly reduced. But it did not matter, he still had one trump card that hadn't been used in previous battles, which was the Vast Heaven Hammer.
Sea Dragon Douluo charged forth, the dragon claw roaring out. Tang San stepped with Ghostly Shadows Trace and charged up, slapping the dragon claw side-on with his right hand.
Tang San's right hand turned jade-white, it wasn't a soul skill, but a secret technique of the Tang Sect.
Tang San borrowed force to disperse force, making Sea Dragon Douluo's power disappear like mud cows entering the sea, diverted away, a skill so intricate that even Sea Dragon Doulo praised it.
Tang San was using a Tang Sect secret technique, Controlling Cranes and Capturing Dragons.
Tang San said, "Senior, can we fight in a special way?"
"What way?"
"I have three hundred-thousand-year soul rings, three soul bones, among which two are hundred-thousand-year. In terms of soul skills, I'm not at a disadvantage. But I hope to fight with senior without using any soul rings or soul bone skills, just martial soul combat, how about it?"
Sea Dragon Douluo was taken aback, "Your martial soul is plant type, and you want to fight me? I'm a dragon."
"Actually, I have Twin Martial Souls."
Saying this, Tang San lifted his left hand, and the Vast Heaven Hammer appeared.
Looking at the one and a half meters long giant hammer in Tang San's hand, Sea Dragon Douluo was astonished, "It's actually the Vast Heaven Hammer, alright, let's see how strong it is, the martial soul said to have the top explosive power."
Sea Dragon Douluo charged, dragon claw shooting again, this time Tang San's Vast Heaven Hammer clashed directly.
At the moment of collision, Sea Dragon Douluo's dragon claw went numb, a terrifying power of vibration transmitting from the hammer.
Tang San used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, each hammer strike stronger than the last, Sea Dragon Doulo surprised, "Self-created soul skill."
Self-created soul skills, they do not belong to soul ring or soul skills.
"I also have self-created soul skills."
Sea Dragon Douluo got serious, dragon claw clenched into a fist, his whole body spinning in the air like a top, crashing out.
Boom!!
Tang San had swung the sixteenth hammer, the two clashing, detonating a deafening boom, both forced back.
The power was terrifying, Tang San's clothes shattered, bones creaking, blood spewing from his mouth.
Sea Dragon Douluo's dragon arm scales blasted off, blood splattering, and he was thrown back.
The two collided, both suffering wounds.
Tang San's body ached painfully inside, without these three-plus years of body refining, he would already be dead.
The battle continued with increased ferocity, no soul skills or soul bones, purely hand-to-hand.
Boom boom boom...
The rumbling was incessant, both sustaining increasing severe injuries, as the fight went on, Sea Dragon Doulo was astounded, not only by the Vast Heaven Hammer, but also by some devices shooting towards him, techniques even more intricate, hard to dodge.
Clearly, Tang San used hidden weapons, and with poison, instantly, Sea Dragon Doulo's injuries worsened greatly.
Half a day passed, Sea Dragon Doulo's body was paralyzed by the toxin, he sighed lightly, "You win."
Tang San smiled, "Thank you, senior, for granting me victory."
Sea Dragon Doulo shook his head, "Even with soul skills, your three hundred-thousand-year soul rings and hundred-thousand-year soul bone can threaten me, your self-created technique countered me, and your hidden weapons were practically impossible to guard against."
At this moment, a vast voice sounded.
"Fifth trial of the Nine Trial of the Sea God passed. Sea God Affinity increased by fifteen percent."
The fifth trial ended, Oscar and the others were very happy, the other six Doulo also came forth.
"Congratulations."
"You really passed, although tactics were used, it must be said, it was impressive."
The Seven Doulo were respectful, after all, Tang San was very likely to become the Sea God.
Looking at the Seven Doulo, either weak or injured, all in very bad condition, Tang San smiled, "Seniors don't think we took shortcuts."
