"Do one thing?"
Yun Chuan frowned at Tang Hao's request. He cautiously asked, "First, tell me what you want me to do? I won't do anything that goes against my principles!"
"What I want you to do is very simple."
Tang Hao looked at his wary expression and didn't hide anything. Anyway, he would have to tell him when he lost later, so it was all the same whether he said it sooner or later. "...Guide my son in cultivating Blue Silver Grass!"
"Cultivating Blue Silver Grass?"
Yun Chuan was stunned, and Flender and Zhao Wuji, who had already hidden far away, were also stunned when they heard this. The amount of information in this sentence was a bit too much.
"Blue Silver Grass… So that's it. The young man who used strange weapons during the day must be your son, right?" Yun Chuan showed a look of sudden realization, then said, "If it's just guiding cultivation, then there's naturally no problem. Alright, I accept your request."
After speaking, Yun Chuan assumed a fighting stance, and a surge of fighting Spirit erupted from him. He said loudly, "It's a good opportunity for me to test how big the gap is between me and a Titled Douluo!"
Tang Hao and Chrysanthemum Douluo were different. Chrysanthemum Douluo was more inclined towards support, and honestly, his offensive power wasn't very strong. Tang Hao, on the other hand, possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, and he was a power-type Spirit Master with extremely strong offensive capabilities. Therefore, even if he didn't use any Spirit Abilities, just his profound spirit power and that indestructible Clear Sky Hammer in his hand were enough to beat Chrysanthemum Douluo black and blue.
There was no other way; there was an absolute gap between Titled Douluos. Tang Hao was like a Spirit Master focused on attack power, while Chrysanthemum Douluo was more inclined towards support. Naturally, they couldn't be lumped together.
Facing a power-type Spirit Master like Tang Hao, a head-on confrontation was not a wise move. The best way to deal with him was to restrain him from a distance, but Yun Chuan simply didn't intend to do that. It was rare to encounter such a power-type Titled Douluo; wouldn't it be a waste not to have a close-quarters battle?
Yun Chuan's Supreme Haotian Hammer possessed four major attributes: strength, lightning, fire, and light. Over the years, he had developed various moves based on the latter three attributes, which, from this World's perspective, were self-created Spirit Abilities.
However, regarding the strength attribute, he hadn't developed any Spirit Abilities over the years. He only knew how to simply apply it to himself, which could greatly increase his strength and destructive power. Now was a good time to test its power against Tang Hao, a power-type Titled Douluo, and also to hone his fighting skills. Anyway, because he was seeking a favor, Tang Hao would inevitably hold back when fighting him. Wasn't this the best sparring partner?
"First Spirit Ability: Source of Strength!"
Yun Chuan stood still, surrounded by seven spirit rings of yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, and black, and his first yellow spirit ring lit up!
Yun Chuan's originally slender figure suddenly swelled, and then his entire body began to grow taller, reaching two meters in the blink of an eye. He transformed from a scholarly young man into a muscular man!
At this moment, his entire body was filled with a sense of power!
In fact, this so-called First Spirit Ability merely applied the strength attribute among the four major attributes to his body, greatly enhancing his physical qualities! As for the so-called spirit ring lighting up, it was just a special technique, a kind of illusion. After all, his seven spirit rings had no Spirit Abilities; they were all used to amplify the four major attribute powers of the Spirit itself.
Tang Hao, on the other side, was astonished. With his eyesight, it wasn't difficult for him to see that after this young man unleashed his First Spirit Ability, in terms of physical prowess alone, he had already reached the level of a Titled Douluo. He was even among the top Titled Douluos!
However, despite his surprise at his powerful physique, Tang Hao's expression remained calm, because for a Spirit Master, the truly powerful aspect lay in various strange Spirit Abilities. So, just because Yun Chuan's physical quality was at the Titled Douluo level didn't mean he could defeat a Titled Douluo. It didn't work that way, unless the Titled Douluo he was fighting didn't use Spirit Abilities. Otherwise, just relying on physical quality to defeat a Titled Douluo? You're dreaming.
"Second Spirit Ability: Thunder Body!"
Yun Chuan, who had transformed into a muscular man, roared again, and then his second spirit ring lit up! Electric arcs began to flash around his body, followed by crackling sounds of electricity. His hair stood on end, and combined with the electric light effects around him, he looked like a Super Saiyan.
Flender and Zhao Wuji, who were watching from afar, were both dumbfounded, looking at Yun Chuan, whose aura was off the charts and who had turned into a demonic muscular man. It felt simply incredible.
"Isn't his Spirit Blue Silver Grass? When could Blue Silver Grass do this? What exactly is going on with this kid?"
It could be said that Yun Chuan's performance at this moment completely overturned the recognized common sense of the Spirit Master's World. It also made them doubt their own teaching methods.
"Come! Let's fight!"
With the strength attribute greatly enhancing his physique and destructive power, plus the lightning stimulating his body to improve his reaction ability and speed, Yun Chuan felt that he could now flatten everything with his muscles!
"Boom!!!"
A giant pit, over ten meters deep, exploded where he stood.
Yun Chuan stomped his feet, transforming into a flash of lightning, and directly swung his fist, as big as a sandbag, towards Tang Hao!
Feeling the fierce gust of wind rushing towards him, Tang Hao did not dare to be careless. He directly swung his massive hammer and smashed it over.
Although he couldn't use Spirit Abilities, just relying on his physical quality, the amplification of his spirit power, and the inherent heaviness of his Spirit… Tang Hao didn't believe he would lose to a mere Spirit Saint in a contest of strength.
Finally.
The massive fist collided with the large iron hammer.
"Rumble!!!"
It sounded like muffled thunder exploding.
A terrifying gust of wind raged outwards.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!!!!"
The tall trees around them were snapped by the strong wind, and some were even uprooted.
Flender and Zhao Wuji, who were watching from afar, were blown back by the rushing wind, retreating repeatedly until they activated their Spirits and even used Spirit Abilities to stabilize themselves.
At this moment, the shock in their hearts was simply indescribable.
To be able to go head-to-head with a Titled Douluo with the strength of a Spirit Saint and not fall behind completely overturned their worldview and understanding.
Is this even human?
This kid is the real monster!
Leaving aside the two of them being shocked, let's talk about the battlefield.
First round of head-on collision.
When Tang Hao swung his large iron hammer down, as the hammer touched Yun Chuan's massive fist, he felt a tremendous force. Then the hammerhead was shaken open, and he involuntarily took a step back.
Clearly, in terms of pure strength, Yun Chuan was currently gaining the upper hand.
However, this didn't mean that Yun Chuan could now defeat Tang Hao. One must know that Tang Hao hadn't used any Spirit Abilities, only relying on his Spirit, his own physical quality, and the spirit power amplification of his strength. If he were to use Spirit Abilities, his current strength would definitely increase many more times. It was likely that Yun Chuan would be the one forced back a step, or even directly sent flying.
"What great strength!" Tang Hao, who was forced back a step, had a hint of surprise in his eyes. He never expected to lose in a pure strength contest.
"Again!"
Seeing that his punch had gained the upper hand, Yun Chuan, who had transformed into a muscular demon, was greatly invigorated. He flashed again, carrying crackling electric light, and a whip kick swept towards Tang Hao's waist.
Tang Hao reacted quickly. Although he was surprised that he had lost in the strength contest, he didn't think he couldn't beat him. Because in addition to inherent strength, the application of strength and the grasp of opportunities were also key factors affecting the outcome of a battle. Combat was never about you punching me and me kicking you, and whoever had greater strength won.
Many factors were key to affecting the outcome.
Facing Yun Chuan's incoming whip kick, Tang Hao, holding the Clear Sky Hammer, simply rotated the hammer and raised its handle, instantly using the handle to push away the incoming foot, avoiding being kicked in the kidney.
In terms of pure physical strength, although Yun Chuan was stronger than Tang Hao, he wasn't much stronger. It wasn't an insurmountable gap that couldn't be compensated for with certain techniques.
With one kick failing, Yun Chuan wasn't discouraged. He then swung his fist again towards Tang Hao! Tang Hao, naturally, was not to be outdone and fought him with his hammer.
"Boom! Bang! Bang bang! Boom…"
In the battle between the two, with their fists and feet colliding, the scattered force was astonishingly destructive. The aftershocks continuously destroyed the surrounding environment. The ground cracked, and then one deep pit after another appeared. Occasionally, roadside boulders were also kicked apart with a casual blow.
Although Yun Chuan's strength was greater than Tang Hao's at this moment, his fighting skills were far inferior. His punches and kicks were easily neutralized every time, and then he would get hit by a hammer or a hammer handle in return. However, he relied on his strong physique and thick skin. He endured it.
And in this continuous close-quarters combat, Yun Chuan's fighting skills were also constantly improving, from originally just swinging his fists wildly relying on great strength and speed, to gradually gaining some method… Tang Hao also intentionally fed him moves, helping him hone his fighting skills. After all, his son would have to rely on this person for guidance later, so he had to give him some benefits.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble rumble!!!"
In the dense jungle, trees could be seen continuously falling. It was as if two monsters were engaged in a life-and-death struggle in the jungle.
By this time, more than an incense stick's worth of time had long passed.
However, neither Tang Hao nor Yun Chuan, who were in battle, paid attention to this. They continued their close-quarters combat, exchanging punches and kicks!
Yun Chuan's close-quarters combat skills also made great progress in this short period. This kind of skill couldn't be trained by just finding anyone. After all, could a Titled Douluo be the same as an ordinary person?
Tang Hao was undoubtedly an excellent sparring partner; he wielded a hammer with incredible skill. In the process of fighting him, Yun Chuan was greatly inspired, making significant progress in the application of strength and other aspects.
Previously, when facing opponents, he would always rely on his higher cultivation level and self-created Spirit Abilities to crush them. He had never had such a satisfying, close-quarters battle before.
Today's gains were incomparable to anything in the past.
