Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 189 Tang San Cried

Seeing that he had interrupted Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Huo Wushuang was filled with admiration for Ye Liangchen. The opponent's attack moves were exactly the same as Ye Liangchen had described before.

"Fire Dance Sister, I never imagined the Pavilion Master was so resourceful. As long as Wushuang can deplete most of Tang San's soul power, then you can go into battle and defeat Tang San shouldn't be a problem."

Feng Xiaotian came to Huo Wu's side and congratulated the Blazing Fire Team in advance.

"Feng Xiaotian, it's too early now. I hope my brother won't get hurt."

"Only the Pavilion Master could come up with such a shameless way of fighting, which allows us to deal with the Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master. I bet Tang San is about to explode with anger right now."

"Indeed! Not only is the Pavilion Master incredibly powerful, but his wisdom is also unparalleled."

Huo Wu looked towards the Tianshui team and saw Ye Liangchen give her a thumbs-up, praising her for her excellent tactical arrangements, which made Huo Wu feel very accomplished.

"This kind of underhanded tactic is perfect for Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters."

Bibi Dong, Ye Cailan, and Shui Lanxin came to Ye Liangchen's side and watched as Huo Wushuang dodged and weaved in the Soul Arena, constantly avoiding Tang San's hammer attacks. They felt that this method was very effective.

"The weakness of a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master is actually like this. Tang Dachui would probably be very frustrated if he saw it."

Yesterday evening, when Ye Liangchen was explaining the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian to Feng Xiaotian and the others, Bibi Dong was also present. She had a good understanding of the weaknesses of Haotian Hammer Soul Masters.

"The mistress reacted too slowly and was too pathetic."

At that moment, Tang Dachui was also watching Tang San from a rooftop a few hundred meters away. When he saw Huo Wushuang interrupt Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he was so angry that his nose almost crooked, and he even choked on the mouthful of ale he had just drunk.

"The Clear Sky Hammer spirit is indeed very powerful, but that depends on who wields it. With Tang San's current mediocre skill level, he has only learned half of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky, so it's impossible for him to be that strong."

"The Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master follows the path of cultivating ultimate power. The hammer itself is very heavy, so the movements are very slow when wielding it. Tang San has now added four Soul Rings to his hammer Martial Soul, making it weigh at least a thousand pounds. You see, after dragging the hammer and chasing Huo Wushuang for a few laps, he was already panting heavily."

Ye Liangchen found it somewhat amusing to see Tang San's exasperated state; despite his immense strength, he couldn't seem to ignite Huo Wushuang.

"Xiao Chen, to deal with a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master, you have to use your shameless fighting style to wear them down."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others found it very amusing to watch Tang San in the Soul Arena, his face turning pale as he was being toyed with by Huo Wushuang.

"Remember this: when fighting a Soul Master wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, you should avoid their sharp edge. If you still want to clash head-on with their hammer and compete in strength, then you have something wrong with your brain."

"Soul Masters who use hammers are not very agile because of the weight of the hammer. When Tang San uses the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he turns around to use the momentum to achieve the effect of stacking power. The moment he turns around is his weakness. For example, when Huo Wushuang attacked Tang San's knee, he could directly make the opponent kneel down and thus be unable to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique."

Ye Liangchen reminded Shui Bing'er and the others to be quick-witted during the battle.

In this world, most Soul Masters prefer head-on confrontations, somewhat like medieval knights. While this etiquette has its advantages, it also makes Soul Masters' thinking too rigid and inflexible. Tang San in the original story also used the mindset of a Tang Sect assassin, employing all sorts of schemes and tricks to defeat powerful opponents.

Since participating in the Soul Master Competition, Ye Liangchen has never confronted his opponents head-on unless the opponent's soul skill has the function of locking onto a target and there is no way to avoid it. In that case, he can only confront them head-on, such as Huo Wu's previous move, the Fusion Ring version of Huo Wu Yao Yang.

"Huo Wushuang, what's the point of all this dodging? Are you planning to be a coward?"

On the Soul Fighting Arena, Tang San was incredibly frustrated. His opponent was like a slippery eel, constantly using the Ghost Shadow Step to dodge his hammer attacks and occasionally launching surprise attacks with the Fire Explosion Technique. After about ten minutes of this, Tang San had exhausted most of his soul power but hadn't even managed to hit a hair on his opponent's head.

"Fire Dragon Critical Strike"

Huo Wushuang immediately responded to Tang San with a powerful attack, heading towards the opponent's side.

"Tang San, only a fool would try to fight your hammer head-on!"

Huo Wushuang now really likes this kind of shameless fighting style, as long as it can greatly deplete Tang San's soul power.

"Mighty Bear Critical Strike"

"Roar... Bang bang..."

Upon seeing Huo Wushuang's powerful attack, Tang San immediately used the first soul skill of his hammer spirit to block Huo Wushuang's powerful attack.

"Swish..."!

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's fire dragon critical strike knocked him down, Huo Wushuang quickly used Ghost Shadow Stalking to dodge the opponent's hammer attack.

"The power of a thousand pounds"

"Sky-Splitting Hammer"

"Power of the Earth"

Tang San broke through the opponent's Fire Dragon Strike and immediately swung his hammer, unleashing the remaining three soul skills in succession to attack Huo Wushuang. However, none of his soul skills could lock onto the target, and Huo Wushuang could not withstand these soul skills, so he simply ran away. For a moment, a scene of chasing and chasing each other appeared on the field, which was very funny.

"Bang…"

"hateful"

Tang San swung his hammer here and there, while Huo Wushuang skillfully dodged his hammer attacks using Ghost Shadow Clone Technique. Tang San, dragging his heavy hammer, was far less agile than Huo Wushuang, making him furious.

"Tang San, aren't you tired of dragging such a heavy hammer? You can't even use your Ghost Shadow Step properly."

Huo Wushuang quickly dodged and saw Tang San panting heavily, feeling extremely pleased. He even teased Tang San from time to time.

"This Huo Wushuang is shameless. He attacks once and then immediately disappears, never making contact with Tang San's hammer spirit. Who devised such a shameless tactic?"

The other teams in the stands were very pleased to see Tang San's exasperated expression.

"The mistress can't fully utilize the advantages of the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Isn't that right? A dignified Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master being toyed with like a monkey by his opponent, Third Brother must be really frustrated."

The three members of the Shrek team, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, watched the battle on the arena. Instead of being unhappy, they felt a little schadenfreude.

"Xiao Gang, Tang San is currently powerless. If this continues, he may be worn down to death by the enemy."

Flander glanced at Yu Xiaogang and noticed that the other man's face was ashen, clearly indicating that he was also in a bad mood.

"Tang San is clearly being targeted by the Blazing Fire Team; someone must be giving them instructions from behind."

Yu Xiaogang had thought that Tang San could easily defeat Huo Wushuang, but he didn't expect that the other party would play dirty tricks. Moreover, the one who was guiding the Blazing Fire Team behind the scenes must be that monster Ye Liangchen. Only he knew Tang San's secret. Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's face became even more gloomy.

"Go, Third Young Master!" Tang San's lackey, Tai Long, waved his fist with a determined expression, cheering for his master.

"Huo Wushuang isn't stupid, why would he possibly go head-to-head with Tang San's hammer?"

Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, said in a simple-minded manner, "Although the opponent's tactics are shameless, they are all within the rules and there is nothing wrong with them."

"hateful."

Yu Xiaogang roared inwardly in a fit of impotent rage. Tang San was being targeted and unable to make a name for himself. That meant he couldn't prove his invincible theory and could never shake off the label of "trash" that Bibi Dong had put on him.

"Sky"

"seal up"

"贯"

"through"

At this moment, Tang San mustered his strength again and used the first four forms of the Haotian Nine Absolutes. He couldn't use the last five forms because he hadn't learned them yet.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

With the Haotian Nine Absolute Hammer Technique unleashed, the hammer whistled through the air as Tang San swung it, and its speed increased significantly.

"Swish..."

"Tang San, how come you only have the first four moves of your Haotian Nine Absolute Techniques? What about the last five? Haven't you learned them yet?"

Huo Wushuang once again used the Ghost Shadow Step to jump out of Tang San's hammer spirit attack range, causing the opponent to hit nothing. Although the Haotian Nine Absolute Hammer Technique is very powerful, it also has weaknesses.

"Huo Wushuang, how do you know about the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian?"

Tang San was dumbfounded. Not only had his opponent found the weakness of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, but they also knew the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, skillfully avoiding every hammer attack.

I'm not going to tell you how I know.

Huo Wushuang thought to himself: The Pavilion Master knows all your secrets, and of course we, as his subordinates, know them too.

"Feng Zhi, that Huo Wushuang is really something else. It seems like he can always predict the direction of Tang San's hammer attacks."

"Uncle Jian, Huo Wushuang is too strange, very abnormal."

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi have now been enlightened; they never knew that dealing with a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master could be done in this way.

Seeing that the first four moves of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes couldn't hit Huo Wushuang, and that his soul power had been greatly depleted due to swinging the great hammer, leaving him with only 30% of his soul power, Tang San put away the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul and directly activated the torso soul bone skill, intending to severely injure his opponent.

"Mighty Vajra Roar"

"Roar..."

Tang San activated his torso soul bone, and the shadow of a mighty Vajra Bear appeared behind him, letting out a deafening roar, and a powerful shockwave crashed into Huo Wushuang.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone skill, Tang San, you finally couldn't hold back anymore."

"I concede defeat in this match."

Huo Wushuang already knew that Tang San possessed two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Seeing his opponent use a soul bone skill, she jumped off the stage and immediately conceded defeat. In any case, Tang San's soul power was already less than half remaining, and her sister's appearance would surely deplete his soul power.

"Ugh... Damn it."

Tang San was furious when he saw that Huo Wushuang had tricked him and then admitted defeat and refused to fight. He yelled loudly.

"Tang San actually possesses a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone?"

Many Soul Masters in the audience were stunned when they saw Tang San use his Soul Bone skill, and some powerful figures even revealed greedy eyes.

A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is extremely rare and coveted by all soul masters. Once exposed, it could lead to someone being killed and having their bone stolen at any time.

However, Tang San didn't care about that. Anyway, his hammer-wielding Douluo father would protect him, so he dared to use his soul bone skills recklessly.

"Bro, well done, it's my turn to shine."

Seeing that her brother had exhausted most of Tang San's soul power and successfully retreated without being injured, Huo Wu was in high spirits. So she took a long, beautiful step and walked onto the arena.

"Tang San, are you even capable?"

Upon arriving at the arena, Huo Wu looked at Tang San, whose face had turned pale, and laughed inwardly: "Sect Master, Tang San is about to be tormented by us!"

"Fire Dance, how can you be so shameless? If you're so capable, fight me fair and square."

Tang San stared at Huo Wu with a gloomy gaze, circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill and trying his best to recover his soul power.

"How can you call it shameless when it comes to tactics? Do you think we don't know what you're thinking? You just want to cripple us with your hammer spirit, don't you?"

Firethorn

Huo Wu didn't wait for Tang San to recover any soul power before launching an attack; this was called striking while the iron was hot.

Ye Liangchen had previously instructed that Tang San should not be held back, otherwise the opponent might take your life at any time. However, it was impossible to kill him in the Soul Arena.

"Swish..."

"Despicable and shameless."

Tang San dared not be careless in the face of Huo Wu's attack, so he immediately dodged quickly.

"Spiderweb Binding"

Tang San activated his Blue Silver Grass soul skill again, and countless poisonous Blue Silver Grasses transformed into a giant spider web, enveloping Huo Wu.

"Tang San, using a plant-based spirit in front of us fire-attribute spirit masters? Are you out of your mind?"

"Firestorm Technique"

Huo Wu wasn't afraid of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit, so with a wave of her hand, balls of flame flew out, directly setting Tang San's Blue Silver Grass ablaze.

"hateful."

Without the dual immunity to ice and fire, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul would catch fire easily and pose no threat to Huo Wu at all.

"Haotian Hammer, unleash it!"

Left with no other choice, Tang San could only summon his hammer spirit.

"Sky-Splitting Hammer".

"Swish..."

Seeing that the opponent was about to unleash a powerful attack, Huo Wu immediately used the Ghostly Shadow Step to avoid the range of Tang San's soul skill attack.

"Bang... Crack..."

Tang San slammed his hammer into the Soul Arena, creating a crater in the arena, but this single Soul Skill also consumed half of his Soul Power.

"Tang San, are you planning to dismantle the arena?"

Huo Wu quickly dodged away, stood at a distance, looked at Tang San arrogantly, and revealed a mocking smile.

"Fire Dancer, do you dare to take one of my moves? Let's settle this with one strike."

Tang San only had about 10% of his soul power left, enough to unleash one more soul skill. So he challenged Huo Wu to a decisive move.

"Tang San, I'm not crazy, I'm not going to go head-to-head with you."

Firethorn

Huo Wu wasn't foolish enough to fight Tang San head-on, so she also used a shameless fighting style, intending to exhaust his soul power.

Ye Liangchen had previously mentioned that Tang San was a reincarnated assassin from another world, a ruthless and vicious person who would mark others with signs that led to their death at the drop of a hat, so Huo Wu had to be on guard against him at all times.

"Sky-Splitting Strike"

"roar…"

Seeing that his opponent wasn't taking the bait, Tang San used his remaining soul power to activate the Sky-Splitting Tiger Soul Bone skill for a final blow.

"Swish..."

"Tang San, you've used another ten-thousand-year-old soul bone skill so quickly? Aren't you afraid someone will kill you and destroy your soul bone?"

Huo Wu was on guard. When she saw a light appear on Tang San's right leg, which then transformed into a blade of light and slashed towards her, she immediately used the Ghost Shadow Step to avoid the attack.

"Another ten-thousand-year-old soul bone? My god! Tang San actually has two ten-thousand-year-old soul bones."

Countless soul masters in the audience went crazy, and some even stood up, wanting to kill Tang San and take his bones. However, they did not dare to do so during the Soul Master Competition.

"Fire Dance in the Sun"

Huo Wu quickly circled around to Tang San's left and immediately activated her fourth soul skill.

"Referee, I concede."

Seeing the blazing ball of light in Huo Wu's hand, Tang San, whose soul power was exhausted, used all his strength to shout at the referee, and then lay on the ground with a look of utter despair, two lines of clear tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"Oh! Blazing Fire Team wins."

"Fire Dance Beauty, put away your skills!"

The referee flew onto the dilapidated fighting arena and announced the result of the match.

"Tang San, you flatter me."

Huo Wu withdrew her skill, said something to Tang San, and then strode proudly out of the arena.

But her words caused Tang San to break down, and tears streamed down his face.

This is outrageous! It's like killing someone by attacking their spirit!

"Xiao San had a level 49 soul power and the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and he also had four soul rings of about 8000 years. He was still dragged to death by Huo Wushuang and his sister."

"It's clear that in a battle of spirits, strength alone isn't enough; you also need brains."

Flander and Zhao Wuji shook their heads helplessly. Although the result was cruel, it was reality.

"No! That's impossible."

Yu Xiaogang collapsed onto a stool, utterly dejected. He couldn't accept that his disciple Tang San had been defeated in such a way.

"Xiaogang, ideals are lofty, but reality is cruel."

Flander patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder to comfort him, and then ordered someone to bring Tang San back.

"Mu Bai, go and carry Tang San back."

"Yes, Dean."

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar shook their heads helplessly, then walked onto the stage, preparing to take that guy back to the stands.

"You mistress, you're actually crying?"

"Third Brother, it's just a match, is it really that big of a deal?"

When the three of them arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena, they saw Tang San lying on the floor, lifeless and with tears streaming down his face, and they were incredulous.

"No, I just got some sand in my eye."

After being helped up by Dai Mubai, Tang San said awkwardly, refusing to admit that he couldn't bear the blow of this defeat.

"Oh! So sand got in."

The three of them didn't expose Tang San, and instead helped him back to the stands, while secretly laughing: You really are a coward for being beaten to tears by Huo Wu!

"Teacher, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Upon returning to the stands, Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang's ashen face and immediately apologized to him.

"Let's talk about it back at camp."

Although Yu Xiaogang was angry, he couldn't vent his anger on his disciple in front of everyone.

After returning to the barracks, Tang San immediately ran to Xiao Wu's room to check on her injuries.

Xiao Wu was chatting and laughing with Ning Rongrong when she saw Tang San's pale face, and knew that the competition result was not good.

"Brother, did you lose too?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I've lost too. I was worn down and killed by Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu."

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"So what if we lost? It's just a game, it's not a big deal."

Xiao Wu didn't really care about the outcome of the competition; as long as she had something to do, that was enough.

"Mistress, come out here for a second."

Just then, Yu Xiaogang's voice rang out from outside.

Tang San knew that his teacher was giving him another pep talk, so he immediately left the room.

"teacher."

"Little San, let's go for a walk in the woods over there."

Yu Xiaogang walked out of the barracks with his hands behind his back and headed towards a grove of trees in the distance. Tang San had no choice but to follow, already prepared to be scolded.

"Little San, your performance today has been extremely disappointing. You're a Soul Master who wields the Clear Sky Hammer, how could you fight so pathetically?...

Upon entering the woods, Yu Xiaogang's suppressed emotions erupted. He launched into a long, rambling monologue at Tang San, sounding like a shrew yelling in the street.

"Teacher, I'm sorry to have disappointed you."

Scolded by Yu Xiaogang, Tang San could only lower his head and admit his mistake like a punching bag, tears of sadness streaming down his face.

No one can understand the pain in my heart!

"Xiao San, Ye Liangchen told Huo Wushuang and his sister about your Clear Sky Hammer skills. This is a serious matter. I suggest you have your father get rid of them."

After scolding Tang San, Yu Xiaogang solemnly recounted the matter.

"Teacher, there's no need for my father to know. I don't think this is a very serious matter."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San was immediately startled. If Ye Liangchen revealed that he was a reincarnated person from another world, Tang Dachui might actually kill him.

"But, the mistress..."

"Teacher, please stop talking. Let's leave it at that. Even if they know, so what? Would others learn the hammer technique? They don't even use hammers."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, Tang San immediately interrupted him, telling him not to mention the matter again.

"Damn it, I'm always making trouble for myself."

At this moment, Tang San even considered using his newly crafted hidden weapon to kill Yu Xiaogang, lest this guy accidentally let slip the secret when he met his father one day, which would cost him his life.
