Chapter 251: Why aren't you surprised
Purple, purple...
Alright, Tang San really did add spirit rings to his second martial soul at the Spirit Ancestor level!
His spirit rings didn't even seem as impressive as Xiao Feilian's single martial soul!
You should know, Xiao Feilian only has one martial soul, but her first spirit ring is already a thousand-year one!
Her third spirit ring is even at the ten-thousand-year level!
But Tang San's second martial soul has purple thousand-year spirit rings for the first few rings...
Tang San: There's something I want to say, but I don't know if I should!
At this moment, even someone as "steady" as Tang San couldn't help but feel a bit angry.
Shouldn't his spirit rings shock the world?
Not a single person was shocked, and they even had the nerve to say he wasn't as good as Xiao Feilian!
If he were stronger than Xiao Feilian, would he even need to add spirit rings to his second martial soul?
Is everyone Xiao Feilian now?
Damn it!
Why don't you go compare yourselves to Xiao Feilian instead of picking on me...
"So what if my spirit rings aren't as good? I'll crush them all!"
Tang San thought with unwavering determination.
Purple, purple, purple, purple, black!
Four purple and one black—five spirit rings quickly rose from under Tang San's feet, and the terrifying aura of a Spirit King erupted at that moment!
The arena could withstand the terrifying pressure of a Spirit King, which just shows how fearsome a Spirit King truly is!
"Somehow, I'm not the least bit surprised."
Huyan Li shrugged and spoke bluntly.
Everyone nodded in agreement. What Huyan Li said was absolutely right. They really weren't surprised; they just thought Tang San was a bit foolish.
Breaking through to the Spirit King level in this way meant half of his future potential was ruined. He might still become strong, but he would never reach the level of being truly terrifying.
Hearing this, Tang San's eye twitched, and the hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer trembled slightly.
Why weren't these people shocked!
"With my current strength, I can easily defeat you all. Why aren't you shocked?"
Tang San said with an expressionless face, his anger steadily building.
"Tang San, oh Tang San..."
Huyan Li shook his head and said, "Facing you, at most we might not be a match, but you can't give us despair."
"You're just relying on your higher spirit power level and stronger spirit rings."
"You have no idea what it feels like to face Du Siji."
"When he was a Spirit Ancestor, he didn't even release a single spirit skill..."
"Ah~"
Huyan Li sighed, then changed the subject, "Why am I even telling you all this?"
"With your current strength, you might have a chance to fight him. I just hope you don't fall into despair when the time comes!"
"Come on, let's fight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the VIP seats twitched their eyes and instinctively glanced at Huyan Zhen.
This grandfather and grandson duo really...
Are they just here to tarnish the Body Sect's reputation?
The most ridiculous part is, they're not even from the Body Sect.
"Since none of you acknowledge me!"
Tang San's spirit power erupted, causing his hair to fly in all directions.
"Then I'll beat you until you submit!"
"I'll climb step by step and become the strongest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San, facing Huyan Li and the others' battle formation, showed no fear. He dragged the Clear Sky Hammer and charged forward.
Even against the combined attack of seven people, Tang San showed no hesitation.
"Clear Sky Hammer!"
"Chaos Wind Hammer!"
Using his right foot as the pivot, Tang San exerted force from his calf, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer with his right hand in a full rotation before smashing it toward Huyan Li and the others.
The others, however, remained unfazed. Instead of retreating, they advanced, their spirit rings glowing as diamond-like light shimmered around them.
With a loud "boom," the combined strike of the seven directly repelled the Clear Sky Hammer.
The terrifying force nearly knocked the Clear Sky Hammer out of Tang San's hand!
You should know, while the Diamond Mammoth martial soul's defense might not match that of the Armored Rhinoceros, and its strength might not surpass that of the Giant Ape, its overall attributes far exceed those of the single-focused Armored Rhinoceros and Giant Ape.
Both in terms of strength and defense, the Diamond Mammoth martial soul stands at a very high level.
Although the Clear Sky Hammer is the number one tool martial soul, renowned for its strength, this depends on who wields it.
The Clear Sky Hammer became the number one martial soul because Tang Chen elevated it to that status.
Not everyone who wields the Clear Sky Hammer can reach such heights.
Of course, this isn't to say Tang San's strength is lacking. It's just that his first strike, without using any spirit skills, was against seven opponents. Being repelled is entirely normal.
The Chaos Wind Hammer Technique is a method of utilizing strength, allowing the user to continuously stack power with each strike.
Failing to land the first hit, Tang San spun around once more and swung the hammer at Huyan Li and the others.
At this moment, outside the arena, a towering middle-aged man stared intently at Tang San, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"I'm too late. Otherwise..."
This person was none other than Tang Hao's elder brother, Tang Xiao!
The current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, the Howling Heaven Douluo.
After Tang Hao's battle with Du Bafang, his old injuries flared up, forcing him to sever his arm and leg prematurely to extract his spirit bones and expel the stagnant blood from his wounds, allowing him to survive.
But with his current strength, he could no longer protect Tang San.
Reluctantly, he had to ask Tang Xiao to come down from the mountain.
Tang Xiao never expected that just by visiting Tang Hao, Tang San would have already added spirit rings to his second martial soul!
What's done is done, and there's no point in regretting it now.
"Ah~"
After a long while, Tang Xiao finally sighed.
The spirit rings had already been absorbed, and there was no way to remedy the situation.
Tang San's future might be slightly weaker than they had hoped, but he would still be far stronger than an average Title Douluo.
Thinking about it this way, it didn't matter much.
"Brother Hao, it's all fate..."
"If Ah Yin had chosen me back then, I would have made the same choice as you."
"Little San takes after you more. He doesn't resemble Ah Yin at all..."
"After the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament ends, I'll follow your plan and take him to undergo a second martial soul awakening, to awaken A Yin's bloodline..."
As he watched, Tang Xiao fell into deep thought.
Compared to Tang Hao, he had actually loved Ah Yin more. However, Ah Yin had chosen Tang Hao, not him.
He and Tang Hao were blood brothers. In matters like this, even if he wanted to compete, there was no way to do so. Could he really kill Tang Hao?
For Ah Yin's sake, Tang Xiao never married, much like Flender.
"Brother Hao, rest assured. He is Ah Yin's son, and I will treat him as my own."
Even without this connection, Tang Xiao was still Tang San's uncle. How could he not care for him?
In the VIP seats, Tang Yuehua, watching Tang San shine, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
She had long suspected something. From the moment Tang San revealed his martial soul, she had wondered about one thing.
Tang San could only be the son of her second brother, Tang Hao!
The recent battles had confirmed this speculation.
"I've been in Heaven Dou City all this time. You came and went in such a hurry. Why didn't you come to see me?"
Tang Yuehua sighed, feeling somewhat disheartened.
She had been managing things in Heaven Dou City for many years, always cautious, afraid that the Spirit Hall would discover her identity.
All she wanted was to ensure that those on the mountain had enough to eat.
