Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 164: The God Who Rules the Abstract

"Zhongli, Zhongli..."

Paimon witnessed what was happening in the ring.

Her little head was filled with big question marks.

"There's clearly only one member of the Shrek Academy team still in the arena, so why is Tang San still sporting a smirk?"

Paimon turned his head and asked Zhongli.

Logically speaking, Zhongli should know what's going on!

On a snowy night, Salas, Ning Fengzhi, and the others were taken aback. They hadn't expected that Paimon would ask such a tricky question.

Only Tang San himself knows what he is feeling at this moment.

His expression and smile clearly indicate that he still has more cards to play.

"Hmm~"

Zhong Li touched his chin, which had no beard, and fell into deep thought.

If we were to use the terms from his previous life, Tang San at this moment should be considered as the god who governs the abstract realm, Gu Xiyuexi.

His teammates were all gone, yet he was still there sneering, looking like he had victory in his grasp—it was truly absurd.

Even Zhongli couldn't figure out how Tang San should win!

Unable to use hidden weapons, they faced the Royal Fighting Team 2, whose members, except for Dugu Yan, a Soul King, were all Soul Masters and almost at full strength.

Wait, eight spider spears?

Zhongli glanced at the Eight Spider Lances behind Tang San, thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

If that's the case, Tang San's chances of winning might be around 10%.

In the original timeline, during the finals, the Eight Spider Lances shattered, and Tang San used the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques to use the fragments of the Eight Spider Lances as hidden weapons.

None of the Martial Soul Team members could withstand the poison carried by the Eight Spider Lances.

Of course, that Eight Spider Lances had been enhanced by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Earth Cave Demon Spider, and it was incomparable to Tang San's current Eight Spider Lances.

"If he can really do that, he'll be a true hero."

"Truly, the world's talents are as numerous as the carp crossing the river."

Zhongli thought to himself, but his face remained completely expressionless.

In order to win and change the course of the battle, Tang San had no choice but to destroy his own soul bone and suffer severe injuries on the spot, in order to have a sliver of hope for survival.

To go this far requires considerable ruthlessness.

He certainly deserves the title of a ruthless and powerful figure.

"Paimon, I can't understand his smile either."

Zhong Li shook his head and said.

He understood, of course, but Paimon was simple-minded, and there were some things she was better off not knowing.

Being silly like this is fine.

"well?"

"Even Zhongli can't understand?"

Paimon blinked, showing no disappointment, only a sigh.

"Tang San must have some trump card up his sleeve."

Zhong Li said ambiguously.

Even after living for so long, there are many things he may not understand, which is perfectly normal.

If one were omniscient and omnipotent, those regrets from the past would not have occurred.

"Oh, so that's your trump card."

"It's just their hidden strength!"

As Paimon's voice faded, the situation on the arena changed in an instant.

Tang San had a cold smile on his lips, his eyes filled with determination.

Instead of using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, he unusually released the Clear Sky Hammer, which had no spirit rings.

This scene left everyone somewhat puzzled.

Even if the Blue Silver Grass martial soul is weak, it still has four soul rings.

No matter how powerful the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is, it has no soul rings.

What is his intention in using the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul now?

"Twin Martial Souls?"

Not all viewers, nor all contestants, knew that Tang San possessed twin martial souls.

The appearance of twin martial souls still surprised everyone slightly.

Yu Tianheng and the others frowned, waiting for Tang San's unique skill: Blue Silver Entanglement.

However, Tang San did not release the Blue Silver Entanglement, but instead released his second spirit: the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the number one weapon spirit in the world, is indeed terrifying.

But this is the Clear Sky Hammer without any spirit rings...

Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand, but instead of rushing towards Yu Tianheng and the others, he squatted down on the ground.

"???"

This scene stunned everyone, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

"etc!"

"What is Tang San trying to do?"

Tang San gritted his teeth, gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, and raised it high. Two spider legs appeared in front of him from the bottom of his back.

"???"

"No, you big fool...cough cough, Tang San, what's wrong with him, what's wrong with him..."

With a "thud," Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer fell from above onto the Eight Spider Lances.

The Haotian Hammer and the Eight Spider Spears collided, and unsurprisingly, both Eight Spider Spears shattered into fragments.

Despite the pain of his shattered soul bones, Tang San simply gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Doesn't it hurt?

The sweat on his forehead was like large raindrops, showing how much pain he was enduring!

"Xiao Wu, I'll avenge you right now!"

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he calmly picked up the fragments of the Eight Spider Lances.

Just as Zhongli had guessed, Tang San was planning to use the Eight Spider Lances to change the course of the battle.

If this plan succeeds, the overall situation will be reversed.

This plan failed...

"You mistress, why...why are you doing this?!"

Yu Xiaogang sighed, tears streaming down his face.

Tang San can't get into trouble. This is his "work," this is how he proves his "theory."

Over the years, Yu Xiaogang has treated Tang San almost like his own son.

He had no children of his own, so Tang San was his son.

The moment Tang San picked up the fragments of the Eight Spider Lances, Yu Xiaogang understood what Tang San was going to do.

Foreign objects are not allowed on the field.

This effectively banned soul tools and weapons, including Tang San's hidden weapons.

But Tang San's Eight Spider Lances are not external objects; they are his external soul bones!

"That Tang San, sigh..."

Flander sighed. He roughly knew Tang San's situation.

I never expected Tang San to be able to do this!

As expected of a young man who dares to challenge Old Zhao to a duel even at the Great Soul Master stage.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and the others had already broken free from their abnormal state. They were all stunned when they saw Tang San's appearance.

Xiao Wu covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

"Little San, you...you're my good brother, Dai Mubai!"

Dai Mubai thought that Tang San was fighting so hard to help him win that soul bone.

A scholar will die for one who understands him; a woman will adorn herself for one who appreciates her.

Tang San went to such lengths for Mu Bai, their bond is stronger than that of blood brothers!

Yu Tianheng and the others exchanged glances, as if they had suddenly realized something!

Tang San did not use any hidden weapons or techniques during the battle of Soto City.

But he challenged Xiao Feilian!

Despite their best efforts, which proved ineffective, no one believed that Tang San's methods, particularly his "self-created soul skills," were weak.

During the disciple-acceptance ceremony, Yu Tianheng and the others were present. How could they not know Tang San's methods?

"Oh, Xiao Wu, are you hurt?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from not far away, filled with concern.

Xiao Wu: "???"

Dai Mubai and the others: "???"

The group looked toward the source of the sound with confusion.
