Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings

As he continued to defend, Gu Ziyi suddenly realized that his understanding of his own Tai Chi was constantly improving, so he stopped rushing to use underhanded tactics.

"Perhaps I can use Tang Hao's attack to break through to the second level of the Tai Chi Domain!"

With this in mind, Gu Ziyi became even less in a hurry to make a move and began to focus all his energy on defense.

While defending, Gu Ziyi was also seriously comprehending his own talent domain.

At first, Gu Ziyi could only deflect 60-70% of Tang Hao's attacks, but gradually it became 80-90%.

Therefore, despite the increasing power of Tang Hao's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Gu Ziyi was still able to block it.

However, the resistance became increasingly difficult, and they gradually became somewhat disheveled.

However, Gu Ziyi's eyes became even brighter.

"Damn it, it actually managed to block it!"

Seeing that Gu Ziyi could still persevere, Tang Hao was even more shocked.

"Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Fifty-fifth Hammer!"

boom--

boom--

boom--

Tang Hao's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique kept stacking up, while Gu Ziyi kept defending, shattering one Golden Light Talisman after another.

When Tang Hao had unleashed his thirtieth strike, Gu Ziyi had to use two Golden Light Talismans simultaneously to block Tang Hao's attack.

"So strong, both of them are so strong!"

"Is this the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Clear Sky Sect? It's incredibly powerful!"

"Gu Ziyi is probably about to give up!"

"That's already very strong, and you have to remember he's only a level 40 Soul Master!"

"Yes, Gu Ziyi is already very capable!"

"However, it seems his only strength is in defense; his offensive capabilities are lacking. Tang Hao can completely ignore his attacks..."

"That's already pretty impressive. If you went up there, you probably wouldn't even be able to withstand one of Tang Hao's hammer blows..."

"..."

The audience could see that Gu Ziyi was at his limit and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

However, no one dares to underestimate Gu Ziyi anymore.

Gu Ziyi's demonstrated strength had far exceeded their expectations.

"Even if Tang Hao wins, this match will greatly deplete his soul power. What will he have left to fight Bibi Dong with?"

"Yup!"

"It looks like the Spirit Hall team will win the individual battle and directly qualify for the finals!"

"It's definitely the Spirit Hall team. After this battle, Tang Hao will definitely be no match for Bibi Dong!"

"Moreover, in the final competition, the Spirit Hall team has Bibi Dong and Gu Ziyi, so it is very possible for them to win the championship."

"No wonder the Pope of the Spirit Hall was so generous this time, taking out two spirit bones!"

"Haha, this is simply a gift that someone prepared for their disciple!"

"..."

Although everyone thought Gu Ziyi was about to lose, most people believed that the Spirit Hall team would win both the individual title defense battle and the final competition.

Regardless of their opinions, the battle on the arena continued, and Tang Hao's chaotic cloak hammer technique continued to bombard the arena.

"The eightieth strike!"

boom--

By this time, Tang Hao had already struck his eightieth blow.

The power was so terrifying that the entire space seemed to tremble when the hammer struck.

boom!

However, Gu Ziyi still managed to catch this powerful blow.

Ding, ding, ding...

After this attack, Gu Ziyi was forced to retreat four or five meters before regaining his footing, looking quite disheveled.

hum-

However, after receiving that attack, Gu Ziyi's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He clearly felt that his understanding of Tai Chi had broken through.

The Tai Chi diagram that was originally rotating slowly under Gu Ziyi's feet started to rotate a little faster.

He has broken through from the first level to the second level.

The first level of Tai Chi is using minimal force to deflect a great weight, which is a powerful ability to control force.

The second level of Tai Chi is using the opponent's force against them.

This not only allows you to defend against enemy attacks, but also to turn enemy attacks into your own.

"Haha, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, is that all?"

"Come again!"

After comprehending the second level of the Tai Chi realm, Gu Ziyi immediately raised his head and smiled mockingly at Tang Hao.

"Insanity!"

"The eighty-first strike, all nine return to one!"

boom--

Tang Hao could not bear Gu Ziyi's taunts any longer. He unleashed the final strike of his Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, slamming his Haotian Hammer heavily towards Gu Ziyi.

"Golden Light Shield!"

Faced with Tang Hao's most powerful attack, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Gu Ziyi, though mocking him, dared not be careless and immediately condensed ten golden talismans in the void in front of him.

Then the ten golden light talismans came together and condensed into a golden light shield as tall as a person, blocking Gu Ziyi's way.

boom--

The moment Gu Ziyi set up his defense, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily into the golden shield in front of Gu Ziyi.

Click~

Seeing that the golden shield was about to shatter, Gu Ziyi quickly used his hands to support it, channeling his soul power into the shield so that it could continue to hold up.

At the same time, Gu Ziyi's first and second levels of Tai Chi Domain also began to operate simultaneously.

Gu Ziyi realized that he still needed to deflect some of Tang Hao's attacks, otherwise they would be too strong.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Gu Ziyi managed to withstand Tang Hao's strongest attack for the time being.

"How can this be……"

The imagined shattering of the golden light did not occur, leaving Tang Hao utterly horrified.

This was my strongest attack!

Moreover, it was an attack that consisted of ninety-nine eighty-one hammer blows.

"Crush it for me!"

Tang Hao, unwilling to accept this, naturally continued to exert his efforts.

hum-

However, at that very moment, after deflecting half of Tang Hao's attack, the remaining force was absorbed by Gu Ziyi, transmitted from Gu Ziyi to the Tai Chi diagram beneath his feet, and then, through the rotation of the Tai Chi diagram, to Gu Ziyi's hands.

boom--

At the same time, the golden shield in front of Gu Ziyi shattered first.

Just as Tang Hao was filled with joy and preparing to break through and continue smashing towards Gu Ziyi behind the golden shield, he suddenly discovered that his Clear Sky Hammer could not be moved.

When he looked again, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He had once again caught the Haotian Hammer with one hand.

"This is impossible……"

Tang Hao couldn't understand how Gu Ziyi had managed to do it.

Gu Ziyi wouldn't tell him that he had actually absorbed most of Tang Hao's attack power, and that the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand had long lost its power.

boom--

Gu Ziyi didn't have time to tell him at this moment, because all the transformed power was gathered in his hands. If he didn't release the power now, his hands would not be able to withstand it.

"I've taken your attack, now it's my turn to retaliate!"

Gu Ziyi didn't have time to speak, but he let his actions speak for themselves.

boom--
