Huo Yuhao's words instantly flushed Tang Zhen with heat.
He knew perfectly well that Yuhao was deliberately humiliating him—humiliating the Haotian Sect—and, above all, mocking the Haotian Hammer, famed as the continent's strongest weapon soul.
For generations, the Haotian Sect had held an indelible, special reverence for the Haotian Hammer.
After all, the powers of the continent rose and fell, yet the Haotian Sect had always remained at the pinnacle.
And with an ancestor like Tang San backing them, they didn't need to hunt for soul rings when hitting a bottleneck—they were blessed by their god-granted weapons, which assigned soul rings perfectly suited to their bodies.
It was no exaggeration: every Haotian Sect member looked down on everyone else in the continent.
So to hear Yuhao claim that the long spear soul device in his hands surpassed the Haotian Hammer—how could Tang Zhen accept it?
Gritting his teeth, his expression twisted into a snarl, chest heaving, he glared at Yuhao, speaking each word deliberately:
"I will show you that before the Haotian Hammer, no soul device can withstand even a single strike!"
Without hesitation, he lifted the Haotian Hammer and slammed it toward Yuhao with full force.
"Dong!"
The hammer hit—and not only did it fail to affect Yuhao in the slightest, Tang Zhen himself was thrown back by the counterforce.
Yet he felt no discouragement.Harnessing Yuhao's own force, he began unleashing the Haotian Sect's ultimate technique—the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
One strike after another, each blow growing stronger than the last.
As the Haotian Sect's pinnacle skill, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique could be stacked up to 81 strikes.
If Tang Zhen completed the 81st strike, the power unleashed would rival that of a Soul Master at the Douluo level.
This technique was essential for Haotian Sect members to fight beyond their grade.
But Yuhao had no interest in playing along endlessly.
These guys had already resorted to cheating, so Yuhao would leave no mercy.
After thrusting his spear into the Haotian Hammer, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion awakened.Ultimate Ice surged along the spearhead toward the Haotian Hammer in Tang Zhen's hands.
In just a few breaths, his arm was encased in a layer of terrifying solid ice.
Feeling the numbness in his arm, Tang Zhen shivered in panic, stumbling backward, unable to continue the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
As he desperately tried to shatter the ice, he noticed a strange smile flicker across Yuhao's face.
His heart skipped a beat—but before he could react, the Ultimate Ice on his arm exploded.
"Bang!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
A horrifying blast ripped through the arena. Ice crystals mixed with flesh and blood, spraying in all directions.
The searing pain forced Tang Zhen to clutch his severed shoulder, writhing on the ground, screaming in anguish.
Screech!Titan, stationed in the Haotian Sect's battle zone, leapt up, eyes blazing at the scene.
To prevent interference, Mirror Hongchen and Ye Yulin readied themselves to stop Titan from entering the fight.
But unexpectedly, Titan only took several deep breaths, glared viciously at Yuhao, then sat back down.
Unlike Xuanzi before, he didn't recklessly charge into the arena.
Mirror Hongchen and Ye Yulin exchanged glances, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.
Apparently, in Titan's mind, the lives of these young Haotian Sect disciples weren't worth much.
He indeed didn't care for Tang Zhen's fate—he just hadn't expected Yuhao to disable him so quickly.
Could this really be the child of fortune hand-picked by Tang San?
If this continued, Haotian Sect would struggle to claim victory.
Now, it all depended on whether their ultimate move—the Ring Explosion—would work.
Titan cast a long look at Yuhao, no longer worried about the match's outcome.
Instead, he anticipated the chaos Xuanzi and Zhongli Wu would cause afterward in Mingdu—an opportunity to finally take Wang Dong'er.
The only worry lingering: would Gu Yue Na still try to stop him, like five years ago?
Meanwhile, the six Haotian Sect members in the arena shouted anxiously at Tang Zhen, writhing on the ground.
"Tang Zhen! Are you okay!?"
"Damn bastard! How dare he do this!"
"How dare he harm our Haotian Sect! Prepare to die here!"
The six immediately unleashed their strongest attacks, engaging their opponents fiercely.
Tang Zhen, watching Yuhao advance with his spear, was filled with dread.
He had come to the Soul Master competition expecting to shine, only to lose an arm instantly.
He knew for certain that without a special intervention, his arm wouldn't recover—and this Haotian Sect prodigy would never reach top-tier strength.
A promising young genius, sent to a Soul Master competition by order of Second Sect Master Titan, now destined for ruin.
Despair filled Tang Zhen, but so did murderous intent toward Yuhao.
At this moment, he completely ignored Titan's warning: punish Yuhao, but do not take his life.
Now, Tang Zhen only had one thought—no matter the cost, Yuhao must die.
With that decision, he ignored the pain of his missing arm, struggled to rise, gripping the Haotian Hammer with his remaining hand, murderous intent blazing in his eyes.
Great Sumeru Hammer!
In an instant, the Haotian Hammer in his grasp began to rapidly swell.
The seven soul rings surrounding it started exploding, beginning with the first.
If the Chaotic Cloak Hammer was a pinnacle technique, the Ring Explosion was even stronger.
Upon detonation, the soul rings' full power erupted, instantly integrating into the attack, far surpassing the user's natural strength.
The higher the quality of the soul rings, the stronger the effect.
The cost was also immense: after using the Great Sumeru Hammer once, all mixed rings vanish for three days, leaving only soul power.It takes three days for the soul rings to gradually restore.
Tang Zhen didn't want to give Yuhao a chance to live—he wanted to unleash his ultimate power and obliterate him in a single strike.
