"Boom! Boom!"
"Rumble!!!"
Trees collapsed and shattered, and the ground was riddled with countless deep pits and cracks.
This wilderness not far from Shrek Academy looked as though a monster had just ravaged it, utterly devastated and scarred.
"…Boom!"
Finally, after yet another strike, the continuous booming that had lasted for two straight hours finally stopped.
The scene returned to the battlefield.
At this moment, Yun Chuan—still in his Devil Muscle Man form—was panting heavily. His clothes were torn, revealing his strong, muscular body. It was clear that several areas on him were bruised and swollen—obviously from being smashed by a hammer.
Opposite him, Tang Hao, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, was also breathing somewhat heavily. Two hours of continuous, high-intensity battle was by no means easy even for him. His clothes were likewise torn, and bruises could be seen on his body. Evidently, as Yun Chuan's combat technique improved, he had eventually been able to land some hits.
During this temporary pause, a short intermission between clashes—
Flender and Zhao Wuji, who had watched the entire battle from a distance, both looked as though they had gained quite a lot. After all, high-level Soul Master battles were rare, especially when one of the combatants was none other than the famous Clear Sky Douluo. A battle at that level was bound to be enlightening for them.
"It's over? They're not fighting anymore?" Zhao Wuji asked, still a little unsatisfied.
"Probably not," Flender replied with a touch of hesitation. "After all, the time for one incense stick has long passed."
But unfortunately, they were wrong.
The real battle was just beginning!
"The Clear Sky Douluo truly lives up to his reputation!" Yun Chuan said after resting for a while and regaining some stamina. Looking at Tang Hao not far away, he continued, "This battle, I've lost."
"However, it's rare to fight a Titled Douluo. I still have one last move—if I don't use it, it just feels incomplete."
As he spoke, Yun Chuan's bulging Devil Muscle Man form deflated like a punctured balloon, quickly returning to his original lean physique.
"Oh? Then let's see it," Tang Hao replied, his interest piqued.
"The move I'm about to use is extremely powerful," Yun Chuan said slowly, stretching his limbs. "So you can use any Soul Skill you want—I just want to see, after I use this move, how much weaker I still am compared to a Titled Douluo."
With that—
The seventh soul ring hovering around Yun Chuan suddenly burst into brilliant light!
"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul True Body!"
When a Soul Master reaches Rank 70, regardless of what soul ring they obtain, the seventh Soul Skill is always the same—Martial Soul True Body. For Beast Spirits, the Soul Master transforms entirely into their Martial Soul; for Tool Spirits, the weapon enlarges and is controlled by the Soul Master's will.
Yun Chuan had two Martial Souls—Supreme Clear Sky Hammer and Goddess of Life—but only the Clear Sky Hammer currently had attached rings. The Goddess of Life was still a blank spirit. Therefore, he actually didn't have any Martial Soul True Body to release. At this moment, he was just pretending—deceiving Tang Hao, as well as the distant Flender and Zhao Wuji.
After shouting "Martial Soul True Body," a Blue Silver Grass suddenly appeared in Yun Chuan's hand. The Blue Silver Grass then floated away on its own, its entire body radiating a vibrant emerald-green light full of life!
Tang Hao stood still, watching quietly, but his aura was sharp and ready. The nine soul rings surrounding him glowed faintly, exuding a pressure so immense that he could launch a thunderous attack at any moment.
From a distance, Flender and Zhao Wuji also watched intently, curious to see what kind of move Yun Chuan dared to use in front of a Titled Douluo.
Under everyone's gaze—
The Blue Silver Grass floating away from Yun Chuan's hand shone with blinding brilliance!
The light was dazzling—so dazzling that everyone instinctively squinted.
Finally, as the radiance dimmed—
When everyone could see clearly again, they realized that where the Blue Silver Grass had been, there now stood a figure of ethereal grace.
A beautiful woman in a flowing long dress appeared before them.
She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long azure hair cascading down her back. Her whole body was wrapped in a lush green gown full of vitality. Her noble, elegant bearing highlighted her flawless, otherworldly beauty. Her sapphire eyes were as clear and perfect as blue crystals. It was as if the very essence of nature and spirit gathered in her—she was the center of heaven and earth, breathtakingly beautiful, making everything around her pale in comparison.
"…A Yin!"
Seeing the familiar figure before him—etched deep into his soul—Tang Hao froze completely, muttering the two words in disbelief.
From a distance, Yun Chuan wasn't surprised at all by Tang Hao's reaction. Even though he had never met his biological mother in this life, he could easily guess that the Martial Soul inherited from her must look very similar to her—perhaps even identical.
This was his life-saving trump card—"Mother's Protection."
Before the fight with Tang Hao began, he had already planned that if the situation became dire, he would "accidentally" summon the Goddess of Life Martial Soul to prove his identity.
After all, once Tang Hao saw a Martial Soul identical to his deceased wife, he would naturally begin to suspect that Yun Chuan was the other son taken away by Spirit Hall.
And facing a son lost for twelve years—how could Tang Hao possibly continue to attack?
This was why Yun Chuan had been so confident from the start, never fearing that Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, would suddenly strike him down.
"What a special Martial Soul True Body!" Flender exclaimed, snapping out of the shock caused by the Goddess of Life's stunning beauty.
"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen such a unique Martial Soul True Body," Zhao Wuji agreed instinctively.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield—
Tang Hao finally came back to his senses from the shock of seeing a Martial Soul True Body identical to his wife's. Thoughts began to connect in his mind.
A Martial Soul True Body that looks exactly like A Yin?No—there's no such coincidence in the world.
Just from this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul True Body alone, there was no way Tang Hao could believe this young man had no connection to A Yin. There could be only one truth.
Twelve years ago—the child who had been taken by Spirit Hall!
Right now, Tang Hao was almost certain that the young man before him was the child taken from him all those years ago.
Still, he needed one final confirmation.
The nine soul rings around Tang Hao suddenly flared with intense light. In the next instant, his figure blurred like a phantom, and he appeared right in front of Yun Chuan, grabbing his wrist—Bone Touching to Test Age.
In this world, judging someone's true age by appearance was difficult. He had even overheard others saying Yun Chuan was twenty-five years old. But with a touch, he would know the truth.
A brief touch—and he let go.
In an instant, Tang Hao returned to his original position.
But now, his gaze toward Yun Chuan had grown incredibly complex.
Twelve years old.
That was the answer from the bones.
The Martial Soul, the age—everything matched.
"You… are from Spirit Hall," Tang Hao said, his eyes full of mixed emotions—guilt and relief.
Guilt for failing to protect his child back then; relief that the child seemed unharmed and had grown up well—clearly trained with great care. To have reached the rank of Soul Sage at such a young age!
Wait—
Soul Sage?!
How could that be possible?!
A twelve-year-old Soul Sage?!
Tang Hao's eyes flashed sharply cold. Something was wrong. For someone so young to reach the Soul Sage level—it defied all reason. Even if he were a Soul Ancestor or Soul King, that would be acceptable, but a Soul Sage? That was far too exaggerated. Normal cultivation could never achieve that.
There was only one explanation—Spirit Hall must have given this child some kind of forbidden medicine that traded life and potential for rapid power growth!
At that thought, Tang Hao's heart twisted with pain!
Guilt, regret, hatred—all surged within him.
"Spirit! Hall!!!"
Knowing that his own son had been "nurtured" in such a cruel way, Tang Hao's hatred for Spirit Hall reached an unprecedented peak!
If not for Spirit Hall's schemes back then, he would never have been separated from his son for twelve years—and now, they might even stand on opposing sides, forced to fight to the death!
Spirit Hall's schemes ran deep.
So venomous!
And worse yet—they had treated his own son like this!
Tang Hao's rage soared sky-high!
"…How did you know?" Yun Chuan asked at the perfect moment, feigning confusion, before waving his hand and saying, "Forget it—take my final move!"
With that, Yun Chuan began forming hand seals. After all, the move he was about to use was inspired by an anime—without hand seals, it just lacked a bit of ritual flair.
"Self-created Soul Skill…"
As Yun Chuan shouted, the ground around them began to churn and surge. Vines burst out from the soil, intertwining and fusing—until they formed a colossal humanoid figure, thirty meters tall.
Once the figure was formed, the Goddess of Life Martial Soul turned into a beam of light and fused into it. Instantly, the crude giant form became delicate, developing facial features—eventually taking on the exact appearance of the Goddess of Life!
"…Thousand-Hand Guanyin!" Yun Chuan declared.
Before them now stood a magnificent, awe-inspiring giant—a Guanyin statue, dignified and solemn. Hands clasped before her chest, but behind her extended hundreds of arms, forming a halo-like wheel akin to that of a Buddha.
Looking upon this Guanyin with his wife's face, and feeling the immense pressure emanating from it, Tang Hao's fury eased slightly. He couldn't help but feel a trace of pride. After all, this was a Soul Skill his son had created himself. For a father, that was something to be proud of.
But then, realizing that this towering Guanyin was about to attack him, that fleeting pride instantly vanished.
"Take this!"
With a loud shout, Yun Chuan's body turned into light and merged into the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. Instantly, the Guanyin opened her eyes, blue light glowing from within—clearly under Yun Chuan's control.
"Boom!"
The countless arms behind the Guanyin moved simultaneously, stretching and extending with terrifying force, striking and chopping toward Tang Hao from all directions!
Faced with hundreds of massive arms attacking in waves, Tang Hao couldn't dodge. He could only swing his hammer to fight back. With one swing, a terrifying storm erupted, shattering several of the giant arms with ease.
But immediately, the broken arms regenerated, returning to their original state, while even more arms came from all directions—unceasingly!
Tang Hao swung his hammer again and again, easily dispersing the fierce attacks. Yet, though he fought with ease, his heart held no will to battle. After suddenly discovering that this young man was his long-lost son, how could he continue fighting him?
Finally, after exerting a bit more force to destroy the arms surrounding him, Tang Hao withdrew his Martial Soul—then turned and fled. He clearly no longer wished to fight.
At this moment, Tang Hao's mind was in utter chaos—he had completely lost the will to battle.
