Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Tang San accepted Feng Xiaotian's challenge, and the news spread quickly, making the Great Soul Arena, which was about to close, lively again.

Although this was just a private duel between two students, both Shenfeng and Lanba were seeded teams in the Tiandou City competition, so this match naturally attracted a lot of attention.

On the arena, Tang San and Feng Xiaotian locked eyes, both of them tensing up at the same time, and immediately releasing their own martial souls.

"Aww~~~"

Feng Xiaotian let out a sharp wolf howl, and a faint blue light surged out from his body. Two yellow, two purple and one black soul rings appeared with the cracking sound of his bones. His muscles and bones expanded at the same time, and his figure became noticeably taller.

The two wolf heads stared intently at Tang San, a chilling aura constantly pressing down on him. The mutated martial soul, Gale Two-Headed Wolf, had reached the level of a top-tier beast martial soul after Feng Xiaotian's years of hard training and refining of the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Tang San's left hand surged with black light, and an inconspicuous little hammer appeared in his palm. The moment this little hammer appeared, all eyes in the arena involuntarily turned to it.

On the VIP platform, countless gazes froze involuntarily. Every Soul Master above level 60 and over fifty years old felt their hearts tremble. They recognized the small black hammer and understood its significance.

This is a martial soul that has created countless glories in the world of soul masters, a pinnacle among weapon martial souls. It represents a sect, countless powerful individuals, and the most formidable power and attack. That is the Clear Sky Hammer.

"This is the Clear Sky Hammer. Although you have not yet cultivated it, I can feel its power. This almost tangible sense of oppression is truly worthy of being called the number one weapon spirit in the world."

Across from Tang San, Feng Xiaotian spoke with a hint of envy, "Tang San, we are both born with full innate soul power, but you were born with more than many others. What countless people struggle to obtain, you have obtained effortlessly."

The unparalleled Haotian Hammer, and the self-created peak soul skill Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, are truly an enviable legacy.

Did you know that I even neglected my own cultivation in order to create my own soul skill? With innate full soul power, I wasn't even level 40 when I was nineteen, completely wasting my talent.

Therefore, I am very fortunate to have met the Holy Son, and I am grateful for his guidance. He gave me a soul bone and much more knowledge of soul skills. All I need to do is be loyal to the Holy Son and the Spirit Hall, and demonstrate my abilities.

"They've even given you the soul bone. It seems the Spirit Hall went to great lengths to make you their dog."

Tang San couldn't help but mock, as his relationship with the Spirit Hall was already irreconcilable, and he naturally had no good feelings towards Feng Xiaotian.

"I have now broken through to level 50 under the tutelage of the Spirit Hall, but even so, I am not in the top five among my peers in the Spirit Hall. Not only me, but Shui Bing'er is the same. Apart from Thunder Academy, the other four of the Five Elements Academy have all joined the Spirit Hall."

Feng Xiaotian didn't care about Tang San's mockery. Over the years, his temperament had been honed. "Do you think there is any force in the world that can compare to the powerful Spirit Hall? The future belongs to the Spirit Hall. Our choice is correct. Your talent may be above mine, but you have no time left."

"You're talking too much nonsense."

Tang San paused for a moment after hearing this, and then a loud bang suddenly came from beneath his feet. Centered on his legs that were stuck in the ground, the ground exploded and created a large crater.

He half-turned his body, and the small hammer in his left hand had already moved to his right hand. He exerted force with his calves, using his legs to drive his waist, his waist to drive his back, and his back to drive his arms. He half-rotated, and the small black hammer, which was only a foot long, was lifted up from below and then plunged down, smashing towards Feng Xiaotian's position.

"This is the Chaotic Cloak of the Clear Sky Hammer, very good."

Feng Xiaotian was not alarmed by Tang San's sudden attack; instead, he was overjoyed. He swung his arms simultaneously, and a blue light appeared on his shoulders and back, with wind element wings appearing on his back.

Boom!

Tang San's powerful hammer strike sent Feng Xiaotian flying, and cyan wings unfurled from Feng Xiaotian's back, propelling him into the air.

A cyan light and shadow coalesced behind him, taking the form of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf. Under the backdrop of that massive and dazzling light and shadow, Feng Xiaotian's wings flapped once, and countless cyan whirlwinds appeared around him.

"Tang San, my Gale Wolf Slash was originally a self-created creation developed in isolation. However, since I joined the Spirit Hall five years ago, and with the guidance of His Highness the Holy Son, it has become quite different from the original. Today, I will use it to break your Clear Sky Hammer."

Feng Xiaotian spread his wings lightly in the air, gazed at Tang San below, and spoke loudly. As he spoke, two sharp azure tornadoes rapidly contracted, spinning continuously until they finally condensed into two azure light swirling blades in Feng Xiaotian's palm.

"bring it on."

Tang San rarely displayed such a domineering aura. As he roared, he held his Clear Sky Hammer in both hands. After his soul power was injected into it, the Clear Sky Hammer actually expanded and became his handy weapon.

"Huh! Huh!"

As Feng Xiaotian landed rapidly, he unleashed a flurry of swirling azure blades, which struck Tang San at incredible speed.

Tang San's body spun almost at the same time as Feng Xiaotian made a move, and the pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer swung out suddenly with a whooshing sound, colliding with the two beams of blue light.

The two cyan circular blades were instantly smashed away by the Haotian Hammer, but in the next instant, they were pulled away by a force and flew away, drawing two regular arcs in the air before returning to Feng Xiaotian's side. While circling around him, they brewed an even stronger attack before being unleashed again.

On the arena, Feng Xiaotian and Tang San spun around simultaneously, exchanging blows from a distance. The azure light and the black hammer collided continuously, one in the sky and the other on the ground. Although they did not use any spirit rings or spirit skills, the surging energy fluctuations were even more terrifying than those of ten-thousand-year spirit skills.

Feng Xiaotian's wings kept slamming down, while Tang San's small hammer kept swinging upwards, creating a deafening roar like raindrops hitting banana leaves.

Both Tang San and Feng Xiaotian spun faster and faster, and the dozen or so collisions were over in the blink of an eye.

Tang San was naturally using the authentic Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique at this moment. This hammer technique allows for eighty-one uninterrupted strikes, with each strike increasing in power compared to the previous one. It is said that when mastered to its peak, the power of all eighty-one strikes can be instantly unified, making even ghosts and gods tremble.

Chapter 381 Leaving Heaven Dou City

"Boom!"

On the arena of the Heaven Dou City Grand Soul Arena, Tang San swung his hammer again. His Clear Sky Hammer had not undergone any spirit ring training, and although it was small and looked ordinary, the black dragon that rose into the air showed everyone what the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was.

The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is hailed as the number one self-created soul skill in the Douluo Continent. It was also the secret technique that the Clear Sky Sect relied on to dominate the world back then. Although the Clear Sky Sect also has the more profound Clear Sky Nine Hammers and Great Sumeru Hammer, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is the most famous in the soul master world.

Tang San is indeed a very talented Soul Master. He has full innate Soul Power and twin Martial Souls. In his hands, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can even fight against top-level Beast Martial Soul owners. His self-created Soul Skills for his second Martial Soul are also quite proficient.

However, he was facing Feng Xiaotian, who was also born with full soul power. Although the latter had delayed his cultivation at the beginning in order to create his own soul skills, he had fully developed his talent after joining the Spirit Hall. Now he has even broken through to the Soul King level, and his cultivation is no less than that of the Golden Generation in the original work.

In this battle with Tang San, although he only used his self-created soul skill and suppressed his cultivation to level 40, his beast martial soul body at the Soul King level could easily suppress Tang San in terms of strength. Moreover, he was a Soul Master with almost no weaknesses in both strength and agility.

Dozens of streaks of azure light flashed in rapid succession, unleashing a whirlwind of slashes from the air—enough to defeat an opponent stronger than himself. However, Tang San was indeed remarkable, managing to hold out for so long without falling.

Of course, there are other reasons as well. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique can be said to be the pinnacle of this type of amplified soul skill. The more perfect self-created soul skill has a very obvious suppression of the same type of soul skill. In addition, Tang San is based on the ground, so it is much easier for him to exert force than Feng Xiaotian.

Each of Feng Xiaotian's strikes was amplified by the force of the attack, unleashing an even stronger series of azure slashes. But Tang San's hammer strikes relied on more than just these amplifications. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had been used by Tang San forging techniques; he had practiced it countless times.

"Tang San, you are indeed remarkable, but with only this level of Haotian Hammer Technique, you will undoubtedly lose today."

Feng Xiaotian suddenly rose to a height of tens of meters in the air, and dozens of beams of azure light suddenly converged into one. As he fell, he accurately seized the opportunity when Tang San switched hammers and swung them around, defeating the enemy in one move and completely shattering the rising black dragon.

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer skills were indeed quite proficient, even comparable to those of direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect of the same age. However, he had not yet officially recognized his ancestor, and Tang Hao had not truly taught him the real fighting style of the Chaotic Cloak. His hammer technique was still a bit rigid, which is why Feng Xiaotian seized the opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop.

“You lost, but not because of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. I can sense that you only barely mastered this hammer technique.”

Feng Xiaotian looked down at Tang San from his high vantage point and said these words as he slowly descended. He didn't exchange many words with Tang San. After defeating this not-so-strong opponent, he left the arena.

"Your Highness, Holy Son."

On the VIP platform outside the arena, Feng Xiaotian, who had defeated Tang San, came before Yan and bowed respectfully. He didn't show much arrogance, knowing that with his achievements, he couldn't be arrogant in front of this Holy Son.

"Feng Xiaotian, your cultivation over the years has been quite impressive."

Yan nodded, acknowledging Feng Xiaotian's strength, indicating that the latter had not let him down over the years. Although defeating Tang San was nothing special, Feng Xiaotian had innovated his Swift Wind Slash technique, showing significant improvement over his previous work, which was what Yan valued.

Having innate full soul power indicates a very high potential, but whether this talent can be realized depends on the soul master's subsequent performance. Among this younger generation, his cultivation level is considered to have barely kept up with Xie Yue's progress, which is quite good.

"Thank you for the praise, Holy Son. I am unworthy of it."

Feng Xiaotian behaved quite respectfully, and after another round of meaningless pleasantries, the genius student from Shenfeng Academy withdrew.

Yan didn't try to stop him or offer any guidance. Feng Xiaotian wasn't one of those beautiful girls from Tianshui, and he couldn't possibly appreciate or give pointers on dance moves.

As for the battle between Feng Xiaotian and Tang San, he understood the meaning behind Feng Xiaotian's actions. On one hand, it was to prove his own skills, and on the other hand, it was to demonstrate his loyalty to the Spirit Hall.

Feng Xiaotian's current achievements stem from the training he received from the Spirit Hall. However, he has never officially joined the Spirit Hall. Instead, his status at Shenfeng Academy has been rising. Although Shenfeng Academy has declared its submission to the Spirit Hall, Feng Xiaotian's actions were granted by Yan.

However, there is a relationship between them, and the Spirit Hall has had its share of complaints over the years. Feng Xiaotian's actions today are a response to those comments, demonstrating his talent, strength, and loyalty to the Spirit Hall.

"Your Majesty, there are still some matters to attend to in Wuhun City. I would appreciate it if you could discuss the subsequent matches with Bishop Salas and Sect Master Ning."

After exchanging words with Feng Xiaotian, Yan also got up to bid farewell to Emperor Xueye. At this moment, the Emperor of Tiandou had a very ugly expression because he found that the royal family's reputation was no longer very effective.

Over the years, the Spirit Hall has continued to rise and grow stronger, and its influence has become increasingly terrifying. As a result, the influence of the royal families of the two great empires and the seven major sects has naturally declined. In particular, the royal families of the two great empires are in a slightly better position. The royal family of the Star Luo Empire is almost completely destroyed.

In previous grand events, including the last Elite Tournament, Emperor Xueye had tried to win over young Soul Masters by offering them titles for outstanding performance. This had attracted many Soul Masters to join the royal family.

The Douluo Continent is still a feudal society, and the privileges of the nobility are something that many people yearn for, especially Soul Masters who have mastered power.

However, with the resurgence of the Spirit Hall and its growing influence, it has not only affected the world of spirit masters, but also gained a huge influence among ordinary people, which has naturally indirectly promoted the improvement of the status of spirit masters.

Nowadays, Soul Masters no longer take pride in becoming nobles. For example, when Emperor Xueye tried to win over the winning teams of the preliminary rounds by bestowing titles upon them, although they were not directly rejected, the top-ranked academies, except for Lanba and Leiting, reacted very indifferently.

After Tang San and Feng Xiaotian's match concluded, Emperor Xue Ye delivered another impassioned and inspiring speech. However, the teams from the Heaven Dou City region weren't particularly concerned with the upcoming qualifying rounds; their focus was now on the grand finals, the true battle that would determine which academy would be the strongest on the continent.

"Things in Heaven Dou City are basically over. Now we should head back to Spirit City."

In the corridor of the VIP lounge, Yan and Bibi Dong, who had concealed her identity, walked one after the other. The Pope no longer wanted to stay in Tiandou City.

This wasn't because Yan provoked him, although Yan often sneaked in at night to stealthily share a bed with his teacher and watch the sunrise. But these things require mutual consent; without it, he couldn't succeed.

What truly irritated His Holiness the Pope was a pair of adulterous lovers at Blue Tyrant Academy. Although he and Yu Xiaogang were a thing of the past, sitting on the VIP platform and watching these cousins ​​grow closer and closer still left him feeling very uncomfortable.

Yan paused, his gaze turning towards the direction of Blue Tyrant Academy. "There's really nothing going on here in Heaven Dou City, but before I leave, I can help you vent your anger."

Bibi Dong subconsciously followed his gaze, her tone slightly urgent, "What do you want to do? Yu Xiaogang and I broke up a long time ago, you don't need to..."

"I was just planning to take back the things from the Spirit Hall. I forgot before that there was something that Yu Xiaogang still had."

As Yan spoke, he had already walked in front of the group from Blue Tyrant Academy, a move that naturally put Blue Tyrant Academy on high alert.

"Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, what are you planning to do now?"

Fred and Liu Erlong discreetly concealed Tang San behind them. Although they couldn't change Tang San's current tragic fate, they hoped that the student could live a peaceful life.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to see Tang San."

Yan casually pointed to Yu Xiaogang's location and said, "Yu Xiaogang, there are some things that don't belong to you that you should hand over. I forgot about them before, otherwise I would have come to find you sooner. Hand over the Martial Soul Token."

Upon hearing Yan's words, everyone immediately turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, and the gazes of Liu Erlong, Fred, and the others also changed slightly.

They are considered high-end combatants in the Soul Master world and have some understanding of certain things. The Martial Soul Token is extraordinary. Whoever holds it is equivalent to an elder of the Martial Soul Hall and can mobilize the resources of the Martial Soul Hall. How did Yu Xiaogang get this thing?

Liu Erlong's gaze held a hint of suspicion. She knew about Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong's past. Could it be that the person she loved was still entangled with that guy and had never broken off contact?

Yu Xiaogang was also a little flustered when he saw Yan, but when Yan kicked the Martial Soul Token, he calmed down a bit. After thinking for a moment, he cleared his throat and said calmly, "I do have a Papal Token. It was given to me by the Martial Soul Hall when it met with the Upper Three Sects. Your Highness should not have the right to take it back."

"What a joke! Apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what other sect among the three upper sects is qualified to wield the Martial Soul Token?"

A mocking smile appeared on Yan's face. He said coldly and decisively, "Furthermore, the Martial Soul Token in your hand comes from Tang Hao. The Clear Sky Sect has been closed for ten years and has lost its qualification to hold the Pope's Token. The Martial Soul Hall has the right to take it back to prevent it from being abused by those with ulterior motives."

"you……"

Yan's words left Yu Xiaogang somewhat at a loss for words. Moreover, since arriving, Yan had been constantly releasing an oppressive aura that made Lan Ba ​​and his group quite uncomfortable. Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, Yu Xiaogang took out the papal decree that Tang Hao had given him from his bosom.

Yan casually took the Martial Soul Token, then said coldly, "Yu Xiaogang, I'm finding you to be quite annoying."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and Yu Xiaogang slipped and fell to the ground in a sorry state. The latter never expected that Yan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, would launch such a sneak attack, and he was furious.

He was now a man of some standing, yet he had been humiliated so badly in public by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. He could only wonder if the other man was insane. They were both people of status; was it really necessary to make such a scene? Yu Xiaogang felt his face burning with embarrassment, and his resentment towards Yan only intensified.

The follow-up arrangements to Chapter 382

In the carriage arranged by the Spirit Temple, Yan and Bibi Dong sat facing each other. The latter did not look happy; in fact, she looked a little sullen.

"Why did you do that to Yu Xiaogang?"
