The Haotian Sect actually participated in this competition?
The people from Shrek Academy were also greatly astonished.
"Just as I thought." Xu Zihuang understood.
The Heavenly Armor Sect wasn't in the VIP lounge, but in the outdoor lounge area. Led by their team captain, a total of seven people arrived at the waiting area. They were visibly nervous.
Although the Heavenly Armor Shield, a defensive weapon spirit inherited by their Heavenly Armor Sect, is of quite good quality, it still has an insurmountable gap compared to the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit on the continent.
But when they saw that only one person from the Haotian Sect had entered the waiting area, and that person was a woman, their anger immediately overwhelmed their tension.
Only one person can enter the waiting area, which means that the Haotian Sect can only send this one person to the stage in the individual elimination rounds.
How arrogant is this?
The referee presiding over the match was a thin, white-haired old man. Looking at the pink-blue long-haired girl representing the Haotian Sect on the competition stage, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"According to the rules, team members participating in the individual elimination rounds must first enter the waiting area—"
Before the referee could finish speaking, the girl coldly interrupted him.
"I am enough on my own."
The girl was sparing with her words, and her arrogance could be felt in her voice.
The referee frowned, having said all he could, and said no more. After all, it wasn't their Sun Moon Empire's team participating, so why bother making things difficult for himself?
At this moment, the Tianjia Sect also sent out its first member.
The referee announced loudly: "First round of the individual elimination tournament, both sides announce their names."
"Han Yu of the Heavenly Armor Sect."
"Haotian Sect, Tang Wutong." The girl's clear, cold voice rang out again, and at the same time, to make it easier to use her abilities, she reached out and removed her veil.
She has large, light blue eyes, long, curled eyelashes, a slender and delicate body, and long, wavy light blue hair that flows freely over her shoulders, highlighting her flawless face.
Such a stunningly beautiful face stunned both the referee and Han Yu, who were standing closest to her.
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone from Shrek Academy turned to look at Wang Qiu'er.
Because this girl named Tang Wutong and Wang Qiu'er have the same appearance, exactly the same.
"Why does she look exactly like me?" Wang Qiu'er herself fell into self-doubt, her eyes filled with confusion.
"How could this be?"
Before anyone could ask a question, an incredibly shocking scene in the arena once again drew everyone's attention.
A flash of black light appeared, and Tang Wutong's aura suddenly became more solid. Within the dense black light, a black Haotian Hammer, with a handle about three meters long and a head as large as a bucket, appeared in her left hand, radiating a dense black light.
Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!
Six deep, abyss-like spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, a terrifying combination that shocked the entire audience.
"How is this possible?! Six ten-thousand-year spirit rings?!" Someone exclaimed in surprise, and it came from the contestant area.
Tang Wutong stood proudly, holding the Clear Sky Hammer. The same appearance, the same indifferent expression, but unlike Wang Qiu'er's cold exterior masking a warm heart, Tang Wutong displayed an arrogance that disregarded everything in this world. This arrogance stemmed not only from her strength and talent, but also from her bloodline.
Having inherited the bloodline of the gods, she was born to be above all living beings in this world.
Chapter 381 One Hammer
Overwhelmed by Tang Wutong's imposing aura, Han Yu, who was the first to fight representing the Tianjia Sect, instinctively released his martial soul.
His soul power surged, and countless black hexagonal armor plates shot out from his body, then condensed in front of him, transforming into a shield composed of countless hexagonal armor plates. The shield was also hexagonal, with a regular shape and a heavy aura.
As a defensive-type Soul Master, Han Yu's abilities differ from those of Tang Wutong, a power-attack-type Soul Master, but they share a common trait: both are exceptionally skilled in strength.
Holding the Heavenly Armor Shield in front of him, Han Yu immediately exuded an aura of unwavering stability. Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings circled around him, rhythmically moving up and down. It was clearly the optimal spirit ring combination.
This is one of the advantages of being born into a sect. Whenever a member needs a spirit ring, the elders in the sect will generally do their best to help them attach a spirit ring with suitable attributes and age.
However, this is much more difficult to achieve in academies specializing in Soul Masters or Soul Masters. The imbalance between teacher and student resources means that the teachers simply cannot provide adequate support. It's unrealistic to expect every student to receive the best possible Soul Rings without reservation.
Of all the academies on the entire continent, Shrek Academy is probably the only one with such an ability.
However, even at Shrek Academy, not every student can obtain the optimal combination of spirit rings. This is because the academy teachers are not obligated to provide such a combination. Students largely rely on themselves and their families.
In the arena, Han Yu had just released his martial soul and hadn't even caught his breath when Tang Wutong on the opposite side had already made her move.
Tang Wutong didn't unleash her full speed, but instead took small, quick steps towards Han Yu. With each step, a burst of intense light erupted from the metal floor. A layer of tough white light film could be vaguely seen spreading across the ground.
This is a protective soul tool set up by the Sun Moon Empire to ensure the integrity of the site and to withstand more intense impacts.
Without the barrier of this light membrane, Tang Wutong, wielding the Haotian Hammer, would definitely have been able to leave deep footprints on the ground.
What's special about weapon spirits is that the owner of a weapon spirit is not affected by the weight of their own spirit, but they will exhibit the original weight to everything else.
With Tang Wutong's Soul Emperor level cultivation, plus the amplification of six Soul Rings with a duration of at least 50,000 years, the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer in her hand is not far from 10,000 jin.
As Tang Wutong charged forward, she suddenly spun halfway around. Using her left foot as a pivot, she swung the Haotian Hammer in the air, creating a terrifying gust of wind as she hurtled straight at Han Yu.
The hammerhead is cylindrical with ancient patterns on it, and what's even more frightening is the profound aura it exudes.
Facing Tang Wutong directly, Han Yu felt it even more acutely. He actually felt drawn in by this powerful aura, unable to escape it.
With a low shout, he activated his fifth spirit ring without hesitation.
The deep black soul ring suddenly expanded outwards, as if merging into the shield in Han Yu's hand. A dark, eerie aura emanated from the Heavenly Armor Shield, mixed with intense soul power fluctuations, instantly transforming into a thick, semi-transparent black wall.
Han Yu's soul skill is somewhat similar to Xu Sanshi's second soul skill, Xuanming Shield Formation, but his ten-thousand-year-level soul skill is undoubtedly much more powerful than Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Shield Formation.
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the massive Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily against the black wall. Without the slightest pause, Han Yu's fifth soul skill, Heavenly Armor Shield Formation, unleashed at full power, shattered instantly, dissipating into countless fragments of light in the air.
It wasn't just Han Yu's fifth soul skill that shattered, but also his martial soul. The shattering of his martial soul instantly turned his face deathly pale.
Although Tang Wutong's Clear Sky Hammer didn't strike him directly, the terrifying force of the impact still sent him flying dozens of meters. A mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, and he completely lost consciousness.
There were no fancy tricks, just a single, simple strike. And with just that one strike, the outcome was decided.
After a brief silence, cheers erupted throughout the arena. Although the vast majority of the audience were from the Sun Moon Empire, this did not prevent them from admiring the strong. In the Douluo Continent, strength determines everything. As long as you are strong enough, you will earn respect. Moreover, Tang Wutong possessed such a terrifying combination of spirit rings, which truly opened their eyes.
Moreover, Tang Wutong's stunning appearance has attracted a lot of admirers.
"In the first round of the individual elimination tournament, Haotian Sect won."
The referee stepped between the two and announced the result of the match. His gaze towards Tang Wutong was somewhat complicated.
No wonder Tang Wutong was so arrogant; now it seems she certainly had the right to be.
This also made him realize, to some extent, the gap between their Sun Moon Empire and the three great empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent in terms of Soul Masters.
Six ten-thousand-year spirit rings? Could it be a twin martial spirit?
On the high platform, Xu Tianran, sitting in the main seat, asked the middle-aged man in black beside him with a smile, "Six ten-thousand-year soul rings, Imperial Preceptor, what do you think?"
The Imperial Advisor, dressed in a long robe with gold trim, said firmly in a deep voice, "Although the Clear Sky Hammer is powerful, it is, after all, a weapon spirit, and its enhancement to physical strength is limited. No matter how good her talent is, it is impossible for her first spirit ring to be at the ten-thousand-year level. There is only one possibility: she has twin spirits."
Xu Tianran nodded in deep agreement, his smile undiminished.
"The foundation of the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent should not be underestimated. There are quite a few reclusive sects with a long history like the Haotian Sect. Let's hope they won't become an obstacle for us."
The middle-aged national teacher was not the only one who deduced that Tang Wutong possessed twin martial souls. Shrek Academy, as well as many other participating teams present, also made this judgment.
"Tianhuang, do you think she looks like Wang Dong?" Ning Tianrao looked at Xu Zihuang meaningfully.
Before Xu Zihuang could speak, Dai Huabin, Xie Huanyue, Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao, and others who had seen Wang Dong use the Haotian Hammer during the core disciple selection competition suddenly realized what was happening.
Tang Wutong's distinctive eye and hair colors, coupled with her Clear Sky Hammer spirit with six ten-thousand-year spirit rings, made her stand out.
What are the odds of such a coincidence in the world?
Once they subconsciously accept Wang Dong's gender change, they discover that the Wang Dong of yesteryear and the Tang Wutong before them do indeed look remarkably alike.
"Wang Dong?" Upon hearing this name, Wang Qiu'er frowned. She had read Xu Zihuang's memories and naturally knew of his existence.
Ye Guyi is the same in this respect.
Zhang Lexuan seemed to have thought of something, and her gaze fell on Wang Qiu'er with an inscrutable expression.
"Wang Qiu'er, you really don't know her?"
"I don't know her." Wang Qiu'er shook her head firmly, her brows furrowed.
The crowd looked at Wang Qiu'er with some strange expressions, but no one pressed for answers. Given Wang Qiu'er's personality, she shouldn't stoop to lying, and the doubt in her eyes didn't seem feigned.
What's going on? Are there really two unrelated people in the world who look exactly alike?
At the same time, a wave of cheers erupted from the audience.
The second round of the individual elimination tournament between Haotian Sect and Tianjia Sect has also concluded.
The second member of the Tianjia Sect to appear was Han Jian, the strongest member of the team and also the captain of the Tianjia Battle Team. However, his strength was only slightly greater than Han Yu's, and he was no match for Tang Wutong's Haotian Hammer.
He was also blasted away by a single blow. But unlike Han Yu, he didn't lose consciousness on the spot.
Han Jian struggled to his feet with a grim expression and said to the referee on the competition stage, "Our Tianjia Sect concedes defeat in today's competition."
Upon hearing this, the audience was somewhat surprised, but understandable. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Tang Wutong hadn't even used her soul skills, yet she had defeated the two strongest members of the Heavenly Armor Sect team, and in such an absolutely crushing way.
Continuing down this path will only lead to the same result.
The referee realized what was happening, nodded, and announced loudly, "Tianjia Sect concedes defeat. Haotian Sect wins this match."
Both were complete victories, but Tang Wutong's fighting style was more entertaining than Meng Hongchen's, as could be seen from the cheers of the audience.
This is even with Meng Hongchen having the home advantage.
Tang Wutong withdrew her martial soul and returned to the Clear Sky Sect's rest area with an indifferent expression. As she passed the Shrek Academy's rest area, her gaze swept over Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er. Her pinkish-blue eyes revealed absolutely no emotional fluctuation.
There was no surprise, nor did his gaze linger for long. It was a condescending scrutiny.
Chapter 382 Preliminary Round Two – Shrek Academy vs. Sword Sect
In the Shrek team's rest area, Xu Zihuang also ignored Tang Wutong.
Regardless of the purpose of this selfless god-king's decision to have Tang Wutong participate in this year's Continental Youth Soul Master Competition, he did not want to have too much interaction with Tang Wutong, lest he be schemed against.
Furthermore, while it's astonishing that Tang Wutong has added six ten-thousand-year soul rings to her second martial soul, and her soul power cultivation is far more than just having just broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, to him, if Tang Wutong were only this much, she still wouldn't qualify as an opponent.
Moreover, as his cultivation level approached level seventy, he gradually gained a sense of enlightenment.
Perhaps once he possesses the ability of a Martial Soul True Body, he will be able to face Tang San's schemes without fear.
