Chapter 133: Decisive Battle with Clear Sky
"Since that's the case, I won't hold back."
Davis then instructed Chen Xue, "Xiaoxue, boost me. Xiaomo, prepare your spirit skills and follow my lead."
"Got it!"
Chen Xue released her Bright Crystal Martial Spirit. Her five spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and one black—shone brightly in succession, a perfect configuration.
She slowly channeled her spirit power, activating the first three spirit rings in sequence.
"First Spirit Skill: Speed Boost!"
"Second Spirit Skill: Strength Boost!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Defense Boost!"
As she chanted her incantations, three golden rays of light surged into Davis's body.
Speed Boost: +5% movement speed for ten minutes.
Strength Boost: +10% physical strength for ten minutes.
Defense Boost: +15% physical defense for ten minutes.
While this wasn't as potent as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, it was still effective enough for Davis.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Let's see just how strong Tang Hao really is.
With that thought, Davis lunged forward. In the blink of an eye, he crossed over ten meters and launched a punch aimed directly at Tang Hao's face, the force of the blow howling through the air.
It was so fast that ordinary Spirit Masters wouldn't be able to react—but Tang Hao was no ordinary master. He was once the youngest Titled Douluo in the continent's history.
He instantly sensed Davis's intent and raised his hand to block the incoming strike.
Unlike Tang Chen, who focused on balance, Tang Hao focused solely on raw power. Every spirit ring added to his Clear Sky Hammer was for strengthening its force, giving him unmatched physical strength.
Moreover, as a lifelong blacksmith, his hands were hardened with thick calluses, making his palms nearly as tough as metal.
Davis's punch landed squarely on Tang Hao's palm—but Tang Hao didn't even flinch. He nodded instead.
"Not bad speed. As for strength... it's decent for someone your age. But you're still a bit too green to match me!"
"What?!"
Davis was shocked. After bathing in the Ice and Fire Spirit Spring, his physique had been enhanced greatly. With Chen Xue's additional power boost, he had assumed his physical strength was nearing peak Soul Emperor level. And yet—it hadn't even made Tang Hao frown?
As expected of a Titled Douluo—what terrifying power!
Davis attempted to retract his fist and reposition, but Tang Hao had already anticipated his next move and caught his wrist tightly.
In that moment, Davis felt an overwhelming and irresistible force crush his hand. Pain surged through his right arm. His fist was already bruised blue and purple from the pressure.
He could tell—if Tang Hao squeezed just a little more, his right metacarpal would be shattered!
Davis gritted his teeth. So that's it... I broke Tang San's metacarpals, and now Tang Hao wants to do the same to mine!
But do you think I'm that easy to bully?!
His mind spun rapidly, calculating his options. Without hesitation, he summoned the Saintly Sword, pouring soul power into it. Instantly, an overwhelming wave of sword energy surged forth.
With a cold smile, Davis slashed the sword straight toward Tang Hao's face. The gleaming sword light forced Tang Hao to recoil.
Faced with the incoming blade, Tang Hao instinctively let go of Davis's wrist and retreated quickly.
Though his callused hands were sturdy, he was still flesh and blood. If he took that blade head-on, he would definitely be injured.
Seeing Tang Hao retreat, Davis seized the opportunity. Despite the pain in his hand, he quickly pulled out his flintlock rifle and fired.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three sharp bullets shot out at blinding speed, all aimed at Tang Hao's abdomen. While he was incredibly strong, his body was still human—these weren't blunt attacks; they were penetrating, high-velocity rounds. Even a Titled Douluo would be injured if caught off-guard.
As the bullets neared, Davis's eyes lit up.
But just as they were about to land, Tang Hao spun mid-air like a crocodile's death roll, narrowly evading the shots.
The bullets punched clean through a thick tree trunk behind him, leaving three deep holes.
Tang Hao's face darkened. That was close... He hadn't expected Davis to be carrying such a deadly weapon—perhaps even more dangerous than Tang San's Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
At the moment of the gunfire, he had felt a chilling premonition. Although unfamiliar with the flintlock rifle, its design reminded him of the Zhuge Crossbow. That recognition—and his quick instincts—saved him.
"Haha... as expected of the Star Luo Crown Prince. I didn't expect you to possess such a fearsome weapon. Seems I'll need to get serious too."
Tang Hao hovered in mid-air. Power surged into his legs as he kicked off like a bowstring, charging toward Davis like a human arrow. As he flew, his fists clenched, aiming straight for Davis's chest.
He was incredibly fast.
But Davis, with his Ice and Fire Evil Eyes, could still clearly track his movement. At the last moment, his first spirit ring glowed.
What terrifying speed!
Speed equals power. With Tang Hao's strength behind that velocity, even a casual punch could be lethal.
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Body Barrier!"
Golden light erupted, instantly forming a shimmering shield around Davis's body just before Tang Hao struck.
Boom!!
The moment Tang Hao's fist collided with the golden shield, a thunderous explosion echoed across the forest.
Davis glanced down. No cracks.
He let out a breath of relief.
"Your Majesty Haotian, I admit your strength is formidable. But without your spirit or soul skills, this is probably your limit!"
"Hahahaha! You think so?" Tang Hao roared with laughter. Then, like a berserker, he unleashed a flurry of punches on the golden barrier.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"What's he doing?"
Davis frowned, eyes narrowing. Suddenly, it dawned on him.
This... this is the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique!
Tang Hao wasn't using his hammer—but he didn't need to. With his callused fists clenched, they weren't much different from hammers. He was using the famed Clear Sky School's secret technique bare-handed!
