Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 119 First Battle Against the Clear Sky Hammer

Tang Lie said in a deep voice, "Boy, although you have good talent, don't underestimate our Haotian Sect's number one weapon spirit."

"I'd like to experience your Clear Sky Hammer firsthand."

Tang Lie looked at Yang Wudi and Niu Gao: "Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, is this what you two mean too?"

Both of them said at the same time, "That's what we mean."

Niu Gao spoke for the first time: "Tang Lie, if you lose, our two clans will have no further dealings with you. If you win, our two clans will be at your mercy."

"Fine, you have guts. Since you're placing your hopes on a mere child, I'll grant your request."

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Senior Tang Lie, since we're going to have a competition, why don't we draw up a written agreement to avoid trouble later?"

"We, the members of the Haotian Sect, are true to our word. We would never go back on our word. You underestimate me, kid."

At this moment, Dean Huo Tianchen stepped forward: "Since both parties have an agreement, there's nothing wrong with signing a document. It just so happens that I, along with Clan Chiefs Titan and White Crane, will also serve as witnesses."

After saying that, Dean Huo took out paper and pen and wrote down the agreement between the two of them in four copies, and then personally signed them.

Niu Gao and Yang Wudi signed their names without saying a word.

Tang Lie glanced at Huo Tianchen, then at Xiao Fei, and finally turned to Yang Wudi and Niu Gao: "Very good, you're both very good!"

After speaking, they signed the four agreements. Titan and White Crane exchanged a glance and then signed their names as well.

Then everyone arrived at the large arena in the center of the academy.

Tang Lie and Wang Xiaofei flew onto the arena at the same time.

"Kid, do you want me to give you a few moves? Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll get smashed to death by the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Thank you for your concern, senior. Please make your move."

Tang Lie summoned a giant Clear Sky Hammer, and nine spirit rings instantly appeared on his body: two yellow, two purple, and five black—the optimal spirit ring ratio.

"Tang Lie of the Haotian Sect, Martial Soul: Haotian Hammer, Title: Blazing Sun."

Xiao Fei neither summoned his martial soul nor displayed his soul rings. Instead, he instantly transformed into a phoenix, becoming like a fiery phoenix.

"Wang Xiaofei of the Elemental Academy, Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix, Title: Fire Phoenix."

Tang Lie narrowed his eyes and said, "The dragon transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. I didn't expect you to be able to transform into a beast at such a young age. You're quite capable."

"But you seem to have forgotten that the Clear Sky Sect is the number one sect in the world. What is the mere Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

After Tang Lie finished speaking, he took the Haotian Hammer and flew towards Xiao Fei, striking Xiao Fei with the hammer. Xiao Fei also grabbed at Tang Lie in return.

The hammer and claw collided, and Tang Lie took three steps back, while Xiao Fei remained motionless.

Tang Lie instantly understood that, under Xiao Fei's phoenix transformation, his physical abilities were definitely inferior to Xiao Fei's.

Tang Lie's third spirit ring flashed: "Third spirit skill, Thousand-Pound Strike." Tang Lie ran towards Xiao Fei at lightning speed, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was noticeably heavier and much stronger.

Xiao Fei swiftly dodged, avoiding a direct confrontation with Tang Lie's attack. Instead, he flew to Tang Lie's left and grabbed at him.

Unexpectedly, Tang Lie reacted extremely quickly, and with the Haotian Hammer pointing in the right direction, he directly blocked Xiao Fei's path. Xiao Fei grabbed the Haotian Hammer, and Tang Lie was forced back by the force of the grab.

Xiao Fei couldn't help but admire Tang Lie's incredible control; he could still wield the Haotian Hammer so skillfully in this situation.

Without a word, Xiao Fei leaped forward again. This time, he didn't dodge: "Fourth Soul Skill, Impregnable Fortress." He placed the Clear Sky Hammer in front of him, which directly protected Tang Lie's entire body. Xiao Fei grabbed the Clear Sky Hammer with his claw, and surprisingly, a very strong recoil force appeared. This time, Xiao Fei was directly knocked back, and Tang Lie also took a step back.

Next, Xiao Fei and Tang Lie engaged in a back-and-forth battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.

After an incense stick had burned, Tang Lie seemed somewhat annoyed that he had been held up for so long by a child who hadn't even used his soul skill yet.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body; Sixth Soul Skill, Martial Soul Clone." Tang Lie sent out two soul skills in succession, and two huge Clear Sky Hammers instantly appeared in the sky. The Clear Sky Hammers were covered with flames and seemed to be locked onto Xiao Fei's position.

Without a word, five steel claws appeared in Xiao Fei's hands—the Flame Lion King Claws, his external soul bones. After so many years of tempering, both of Xiao Fei's external soul bones had reached 80,000 years of age.

Little Fatty slammed its claw directly onto the Clear Sky Hammer, instantly creating a crack. Little Fei, using the recoil, swiftly moved away from the Clear Sky Hammer's range.

Tang Lie was also shocked. He hadn't expected Xiao Fei to have such a powerful external soul bone, which could even force back his own weapon soul true body.

After exchanging a few more blows, Xiao Fei felt that Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer was getting heavier and stronger.

Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?

Without saying a word, Xiao Fei took advantage of Tang Lie's attack and flashed behind Tang Lie, grabbing at Tang Lie's knee with a claw.

The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique emphasizes accumulating power and requires using the opponent's force against them; the calves are often their most important muscle group.

Tang Lie was startled and swung his hammer to block Xiao Fei's attack, but the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had already been disrupted.

Enraged, Tang Lie swung his hammer at Xiao Fei again, colliding with Xiao Fei's hand. A powerful vibration came from Xiao Fei's hand, and the hand became somewhat unstable after being attacked.

Xiao Fei was extremely surprised. Could this be...?

Before Xiao Fei could think any further, Tang Lie struck again with his hammer. This strike seemed even heavier, and the force actually traveled through the impacting claws, striking Xiao Fei's shoulder.

Xiao Fei instantly understood Tang Lie's attack intention, but he showed no intention of dodging. Instead, he directly met Tang Lie's attack head-on and continued to clash with him.

Time flew by, and almost an hour had passed since the two sides began their battle. Xiao Fei hadn't used any soul skills, instead relying on his phoenix transformation to fight Tang Lie head-on. Tang Lie, on the other hand, was clearly also quite exhausted.

Everyone around felt strange, but only Yang Wudi understood Xiao Fei's thoughts.

Three more hours passed, and both of them showed signs of fatigue, especially Tang Lie, who had clearly exhausted himself.

Xiao Fei asked directly, "Senior Tang Lie, shall we continue?"

Tang Lie said in a deep voice, "Boy, you are one of the strongest Soul Masters I have ever seen. Then take my last move."

"Ninth Soul Skill: Hammer to Settle the World." Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew larger and heavier, attacking Xiao Fei again. Clearly, this move was Tang Lie's strongest strike in terms of both power and destructive force.

Xiao Fei immediately activated his left leg soul bone skill: Demonic Tiger Whale Axe. A white light, unleashed from an ordinary giant axe, shot towards Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer, causing it to slip from Tang Lie's grasp. A large wound appeared on Tang Lie's right hand; this was only because Xiao Fei controlled his power, otherwise Tang Lie's arm would likely have been severed.

"Senior Tang Lie, you've lost!"

Tang Lie was clearly annoyed: "Kid, I lost. I know you held back in your last move. I, Tang Lie, keep my word. From now on, the Breaking Clan and the Imperial Clan will have no further connection with our Haotian Sect."

After saying that, Tang Lie signed the word "defeat" on the agreement again, and then left without looking back. Titan and Bai He quickly followed.

Xiao Fei shook his head: Although the people of Haotian Sect have terrible tempers, they are still courageous and responsible.

Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Dean Huo Tianchen each received a copy of the agreement, while Xiao Fei kept one for himself.

Yang Wudi said gratefully to Xiao Fei, "Kid, thank you very much." Niu Gao also came over and patted Xiao Fei on the shoulder, expressing his gratitude as well.

From this point on, the Po clan and the Yu clan had no further connection with the Haotian Sect.

That evening, both the Po and Yu clans held grand banquets to celebrate their newfound freedom, as no one would ever again call them subordinate clans of the Haotian Sect.

Meanwhile, Xiaofei was in his dormitory, constantly replaying every detail of today's battle in his mind.

The other deans of the Elemental Academy were completely baffled.
