On the same day, June 27th.

Gao Ying Sai, Round 2, Match 6.

On the circular bluestone arena, dust rose slightly, only to be suppressed by an invisible aura.

The captains of Tianshan Academy, Tang Xu and Lankai Academy, Tang Yifei, have reached the final stage of their battle.

The air vibrated and exploded with each collision of the two colossal hammers, the surging air currents whipping up dust and debris from the ground.

Tang Xu moved with lightning speed, tearing through the air with his black, lace-trimmed Haotian Hammer, accompanied by a piercing whistle.

He was surrounded by lightning, and his sharp gaze locked onto his opponent.

"Forty-nine blows of the tangled cloak!"

He roared, unleashing the Haotian lineage's secret technique to its fullest potential.

The hammering technique unfolds, each strike faster than the last!
The forty-first hammer strike suddenly increased in speed, transforming into a streak of dark light that tore through the void;

The forty-third hammer blow resounded like thunder, scorching the air.
The forty-fifth strike, with its unpredictable trajectory, hit Tang Yifei squarely in the side!

The continuous hammer shadows, like nine daggers in a whirlwind, used the recoil from the previous impact and the force of wind and thunder to strike in succession, forming a violent net of ever-flowing power and unpredictable trajectory, frantically strangling Tang Yifei.

Faced with Tang Xu's relentless and fierce attacks, Tang Yifei remained as steady as a rock.

The giant hammer that broke through the mountain in his hand (the Xuanhuang hammer) was not a deep yellow-black color, but rather it embodied the weight and solidity of the earth, gleaming with a calm, earthy yellow luster.

"Nine Gai Mountains Stand Tall!"

He gave a low shout, stomped his feet on the ground, and lowered his waist and hips.

"Nine Gai - Pulse!"

Forty-nine hammer blows were unleashed in quick succession—

"Nine Gai and Forty-Nine Hammers!"

His hammering technique was completely different, without any trickery or borrowing of strength. Every strike was a pure power that resonated with his own boundless blood and soul power and the earth beneath his feet.

The first hammer blow landed heavily, with the force of an iron pillar driven into a stake; the second hammer blow followed, the air emitting a dull rumble, and the bluestone slab beneath them cracked inch by inch.

As the number of hammer blows increased, a heavy, mountain-like pressure began to permeate and condense on the arena—this was the "gravitational force field" formed after crossing the threshold of forty-nine hammer blows.

Tang Xu suddenly felt as if his hands and feet were sinking into mud, and his speed dropped sharply.

Tang Yifei's hammer strikes were ancient and simple, with clear trajectories yet immense power. The force of each strike was deeply compressed, settled, and accumulated within his body, building up layer upon layer. The powerful earth vein energy roared beneath the hammer.

The climax of the duel has finally arrived!
When Tang Xu's forty-ninth hammer strike—the ultimate strike of the Chaotic Cloak—was accompanied by the force of wind and thunder, its speed and unpredictability reaching their peak, forcibly tearing through the gravitational field's restraints and transforming into a blinding bolt of lightning, crashing down on Tang Yifei's head like a tidal wave—Tang Yifei's forty-ninth hammer strike, the hammer of the Nine Realms Peak, its power accumulated to the limit of her own realm, and the gravitational field's power also reaching its peak, was also unleashed at the same time.

Gravity is increased by 2 times!
Without flinching, his gaze as fixed as the earth, he roared, "Nine Gazettes - Rock Collapse!"

"boom--!!!!!"

The two giant hammers clashed violently and without any embellishment.

After a brief, suffocating silence came a terrifying explosion that threatened to collapse the entire arena.

……

Two giant hammers, two opposing traditions, clashing in different dimensions.

Wind and Thunder vs. Mountains
The violent lightning on Tang Xu's hammer slammed into the powerful mountain force gathered on Tang Yifei's hammer.

Lightning crackled and tore apart a small patch of earthy yellow light, but the earthy yellow power, as thick and steady as a mountain, only flickered slightly before bursting forth with an even more magnificent and purer essence of power.

Leveraging existing momentum vs. building momentum
Tang Xu's hammer technique relied on the momentum of the previous strike, but he felt an unprecedented resistance at the moment of impact.

The power he borrowed collided with Tang Yifei's ultimate attack, which was derived from the superposition of her own soul power, blood energy, and the pulse of the earth. It was like a torrent crashing into a towering mountain, and the violent backlash instantly surged back.

His cyclical power, which he relied on to operate and grew faster with each strike, was forcibly interrupted and shattered by this pure and profound "heaviness" and "weight".

Break through defense vs. backlash
The gravitational field formed by the nine gravitational peaks exerted its stagnation effect to the fullest extent at this moment!

Tang Xu felt as if his hammer blow had struck solidified mud and rocks, making the transmission of power extremely difficult.

What's even more terrifying is that the rebound is not just the force of the impact, but also the profound earthquake power contained in the Nine Heavens Hammer Technique.

This shockwave ignored his technique of deflecting and borrowing force, directly blasting into the tendons and veins of his arms and rushing upwards.

Crisp sound VS muffled groan
The illusory image of Tang Xu's Haotian Hammer, which had been condensed to its extreme, flashed wildly, and the hammer spirit itself let out a crisp sound as if it could not bear the burden.

His arrogance froze instantly, turning into horror. His tiger's mouth burst open, blood staining the hammer handle. He could no longer suppress a mouthful of blood, which sprayed onto the cracked bluestone slab with a "pfft".

Tang Yifei's body also trembled violently, and the solid bluestone slab beneath his feet shattered, creating a deeper crater and sending fragments of stone flying.

But its foundation is as firm as if it were rooted in the ground, and its earthy yellow aura, though fluctuating violently, remains tenacious.

That mountain-breaking giant hammer was like a giant pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, shaking the storms and thunder, yet it remained as steady as a mountain!

The heavy Haotian Hammer could no longer be held and flew out of Tang Xu's hand, tumbling and crashing onto the distant arena with a heavy thud.

Tang Xu himself was blasted off the ground by the overwhelming force and the shockwave of the Nine Heavens, and crashed heavily to the ground.

She rolled a few times on the dusty bluestone slab, struggled a few times, but ultimately couldn't stand up immediately. She could only barely prop herself up with trembling arms, panting heavily. Tang Yifei, ranked 55th on the Prodigy Ranking.

He slowly straightened up, the heavy Mountain-Breaking Hammer remaining motionless in his hands.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood and qi.

He looked at his fallen opponent, his eyes devoid of mockery, only displaying the composure and fortitude characteristic of the Xuanhuang lineage; this silence itself spoke volumes.

The earth is silent, yet its profound virtue suppresses the mighty winds and thunder!

In this battle, the Nine Gai Hammer Technique triumphs over the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!
……

The defeat of Tianshan Academy caught the eye of Tang Chen of the Tiandou Team, and his brows furrowed instantly.

Tianshan is not only an academy supported by Haotian Sect, but its leader, Tang Xu, is also his cousin.

The Lankai Academy defeated them with the Xuanhuang Tang Clan as its core, a result that made Tang Chen, the eldest grandson of the main branch, turn ashen-faced.

On the other side, inside the private room of Team Tiandou 2, which had just finished a fierce battle, the atmosphere was even more somber.

Tang Xiao felt as if he had entered some kind of historical drift, leaning against the corner of the wall, his body covered in multiple lacerations, sweat and dust mixed together.

Yu Zhengjun, who was also exhausted today, avoided his injuries and gently patted his shoulder.

With the combined efforts of Liu Dieyun (Three-Eyed Demon Fox) and Yun Luo (Lightning Falcon), two agile attackers and controllers, and four top-tier beast spirit warriors—Hu Yanzan (Diamond Mammoth), Mu Xingyun (Dark Demon Tiger), Ge Tianhao (Blazing Gold Yazi), and Yu Zhengjun (Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus)—along with Tang Xiao, who wielded the Clear Sky Hammer as his absolute core strength, they launched a massive group charge at the start of the battle, like a raging tide.

On the Chang'an Academy side, under the leadership of Chen Mu and Zhu Wuneng, Gu Wuyan's precise and powerful group support, along with the team of Su Ningxia, Dugu Fu, Ma Liang, and Ma Wencai, managed to withstand the opponent's fierce initial offensive. Although the team's formation loosened, it never broke apart.

The real turning point came with Ma Wencai, who was originally responsible for engaging in illusionary battles and high-speed combat with Liu Dieyun.

He seized an extremely opportune moment, breaking free from his entanglement with Liu Dieyun and forming a lightning-fast alliance with Dugu Fu—the combination technique "Poison Cloud Double Sun Explosion" erupted with a ferocious force that seemed to tear through space.

This torrent of energy, combining the power of extreme corrosion and destruction, shook and disintegrated Huyan Zan's diamond barrier, which was known as "absolute defense."

The moment the defense was breached, Huyan Zan, the team's strongest shield, was severely injured and eliminated.

The tide turned from there.

……

111 private rooms.

Zhu Wuneng counted on his fingers and said, "This second round has six matches: Black Tiger, Mountain and Sea, Auckland, Xuanhuang, Northern Medicine King Academy, and the Tiandou Second Team that we just played."

"Apart from the Black Tigers and Shan Hai teams, who are in the mid-tier and had to put in some effort, the other matches were relatively easier."

Chen Shurui continued, "That Northern Medicine King Academy suffered a loss in the arena because they can't take drugs. They are a backbone academy of Tianshui Province."

Dugu Fuzheng was grimacing as he used his soul power to cover several bruises. He grimaced, then hissed as he pulled at his wounds and gasped, "Hiss... Bajie, you make it sound so easy. Today, I'm going to have a tough time against that Jade Lord."

"After not seeing him for several years, his and Tang Xiao's skills are truly impressive. No wonder they were able to squeeze into the top seventy-second and seventy-fifth places on the list of geniuses."

He said, half complaining and half sighing, "Fifth Young Master was able to keep Tang Xiao in check, but I was shocked by Yu Zhengjun's blue lightning and my internal organs were trembling. I need to rest for a few days."

Chen Shurui glanced at Dugu Fu and teased, "You're already good enough, aren't you? After you activated that 'Poison Cloud Double Sun Explosion,' the slight gap in your soul power connection was immediately seized by Yu Zhengjun, who beat you until your blood and qi surged."

"But what happened in the end? You still stood your ground and fought back head-on, defeating Yu Zhengjun. The snake triumphed over the dragon. That was a comeback victory, something you can brag about for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Fu straightened his back a bit, his smugness almost overflowing: "Of course!"

"Don't you even know who I am? I'm a snake cultivator with all five elements!"

"Young Master has already concluded that a snake that can't even beat a dragon and has weak legs is hardly a mythical beast among snakes."

Chen Mu's gaze, however, was directed to the other end of the courtyard, where Su Ningxia was meditating with her eyes closed, her pale face not yet fully recovered.

His voice was calm, revealing little emotion: "Ningxia alone withstood the attacks of Huyan Zan's Diamond Mammoth and Mu Xingyun's Dark Demon Tiger, two powerful eighth-grade martial soul attackers, and endured the entire process. The shock to her internal organs is probably no less than yours."

"Although Wu Neng was also at the front line facing Ge Tianhao, it was Ning Xia who truly prevented them from breaking through our lines."

Dugu Fu's smugness faded somewhat, replaced by a hint of resentment: "Ningxia... she has a strong personality."

"She didn't play many matches in the semi-finals, and she was really eager to prove herself, which is why she took on those two matches by herself..."

His voice trailed off. He and Su Ningxia were playing the control position together, but in the end, Su Ningxia, a girl, was doing the work of two people. It didn't make sense.

Chen Mu's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then he didn't reply, too lazy to pay him any attention.

He Qiang cleared his throat at the opportune moment and stepped in with a smile to smooth things over: "They both did a great job! Each has its own merits!"

"I think this battle is more like a preemptive clash between the future pillars of Chang'an Academy and Tiandou Academy."

"Next time, standing in the center of the field leading the way will be you guys, and today's Tiandou Team Two."

His unintentional remark caused Shi Feiang and Lian Shouzhong, who were sitting quietly in the corner listening, to exchange a glance, a hint of trepidation and seriousness flashing in their eyes.

If Chen Mu, Dugu Fu, Su Ningxia and their group grow up together, given their demonstrated strength, talent, and the resources accumulated by the Chen family, it will be difficult to produce a lineup that can directly compete with them in the next batch of academies in Fasno Province.

In the silence, Ji Boda looked up: "This is also... an echo of that temporary challenge four years ago."
