20: Chapter 20: Defeating Tang Hao with a Single Shot – What Makes a Peerless Genius?

On the high platform, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen stood up simultaneously at the sight of this scene, gazing at Yun Yuan below with Faces full of astonishment.

"This is... the embryonic form of an intent?! How is this possible?!"

Intent was a Realm superior to momentum, one that only high-level Spirit Masters could reach.

Yet now, they actually witnessed it in a boy who had just awakened his Spirit, and even though it was only an embryonic form, it was enough to shock them.

The next moment, Qian Daoliu burst into hearty laughter, looking smugly at Tang Chen beside him.

"Brother Tang, what do you think of the Genius of my Spirit Hall?"

To comprehend the embryonic form of intent at such a tender age meant that as long as he did not perish along the way, reaching his and Tang Chen's Realm was an absolute certainty!

It might even be possible to take it a step further and reach the God Realm, which both of them could not yet touch.

With such a Prodigy falling into their Spirit Hall, the Luck of their Spirit Hall was truly flourishing. Qian Daoliu dared to guarantee that for the next several centuries, the Spirit Master's world would be suppressed by the boy holding the long spear below.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's smug words, Tang Chen could no longer muster a smile on his Face; it was a world of difference from his booming laughter just moments ago.

He had originally thought that the Clear Sky Sect possessed a super Genius like Tang Hao, who would lead their Clear Sky Sect to even greater heights in the future.

Yet it seemed Spirit Hall possessed an even more prodigious Spirit Master, and one who belonged to the very same era as Tang Hao.

"Hao'er, the future will be fraught with hardships."

After an internal sigh, Tang Chen Reclaim the thoughts in his mind, slowly sat down, and fixed his gaze tightly on the two figures below who were about to collide.

Seeing Tang Chen's expression, Qian Xunji, who was beside Qian Daoliu, curved the corners of his mouth upward and couldn't help revealing a smile.

Yun Yuan was truly his most proud Disciple; after just experiencing an Epiphany, he had actually comprehended the embryonic form of intent.

Then, how far could he be from stepping into the Concept Realm next?

Down below, Tang Hao, feeling the powerful Spear Momentum erupting from Yun Yuan, was shaken to the core, and the Clear Sky Hammer he was wielding paused as a result.

At that very moment.

The Spear Momentum brewed by Yun Yuan reached its peak, and it was time for the long spear to break the enemy.

"First Spirit Skill, Wind and Lightning Flash!"

As Yun Yuan's voice fell, the first yellow spirit ring on his body lit up, and the power of wind and thunder emerged from his spear shaft.

The amplification brought by his First Spirit Skill, Wind and Lightning Flash, had also arrived, increasing his spear speed by 100% and his own speed by 50%.

The might upon the qingtian spear rose to another level, and its inherent armor-piercing and sharpness intent firmly locked onto Tang Hao.

Yet it was not over. With a thought, Yun Yuan activated the Spirit Bone skill of his external Spirit Bone, Wind Thunder Instant Body.

Since he wanted to defeat Tang Hao with a single spear, Yun Yuan had to give it his all. Although this was still not his full strength, Yun Yuan estimated it was already enough.

After obtaining his first spirit ring, his natural talent had doubled, which meant the strength of his qingtian spear Spirit had also doubled. Just how terrifying was that?

Originally, the qingtian spear was a Spirit in the top tier just below the Divine-Grade Spirits. With its Spirit strength doubled once more, its might could be easily imagined.

Tang Hao at this moment had not yet learned the ultimate techniques of the Clear Sky Sect. Relying solely on his Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit fell far short of the evolved qingtian spear Spirit.

After Yun Yuan used Wind Thunder Instant Body, in the span of a single thought, his figure appeared right in front of Tang Hao, catching Tang Hao quite off guard.

At this moment, Tang Hao was still in shock, but the qingtian spear—carrying the might of a spear that could prop up the heavens and seeming capable of defeating any enemy—had already descended.

"So fast! So sharp! So tyrannical!"

Feeling the might emanating from the qingtian spear at close range, Tang Hao finally realized just how powerful Yun Yuan's Spirit was; it was simply matchless.

Facing such a close-range attack, Tang Hao twisted his arms fiercely, rapidly changing the direction of the Clear Sky Hammer to parry.

The next moment.

The incomparably sharp qingtian spear, capable of piercing through everything, collided with the Clear Sky Hammer, and the sound generated by the collision resounded directly throughout the entire arena.

The shockwave generated by their collision also kicked up a massive amount of dust across the entire arena.

This scene left the younger generation of both Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect standing beneath the arena unable to see the situation clearly.

"Who won in the end?"

A crowd of geniuses fixed their gazes intently on the arena, desperately wanting to know who had emerged victorious from this clash.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong beside the arena was hopping up and down, trying to get a clear view of the situation on the stage.

Their cultivation was too low to discern the situation, but the two super Douluo on the high platform, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, along with Titled Douluo Qian Xunji, could see the result of the clash at a glance.

Qian Xunji, beside Qian Daoliu, turned to look at Tang Chen, whose expression was poor, cupped his fists, and wore a joyful smile.

"Sect Master Tang, apologies. It seems the Genius of my Spirit Hall is still a notch higher."

After Qian Xunji finished speaking smugly, the dust on the arena below gradually dissipated, revealing Yun Yuan standing tall and upright on the stage, holding the qingtian spear.

As for Tang Hao, he was half-kneeling on the ground, one hand gripping the handle of the Clear Sky Hammer while the other touched his injured shoulder, panting heavily.

"Great, Junior Brother won."

Seeing the true state of affairs, Bibi Dong placed her hands on her hips, turned her head to look at the nearby younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect, and directly mocked them mercilessly.

"You big oafs, I told you so! My Junior Brother is endowed with extraordinary talent—something vulgar mortals like you cannot comprehend. Do you believe it now?"

"Is this what you call a Genius of the Clear Sky Sect? His Soul Power Rank was a whole tier higher, yet he still couldn't beat my Junior Brother. I don't know how you have the Face to boast; I'm truly embarrassed for you."

At these words, the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect were flushed red with anger from Bibi Dong's retorts, unable to come up with a rebuttal.

However, the one dishing out Face-slapping taunts wasn't just Bibi Dong. The younger generation of Spirit Hall chimed in with mockery one after another, leaving the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect too ashamed to lift their heads.

On the arena.

Yun Yuan, holding the qingtian spear, gazed coldly at Tang Hao and said indifferently:

"Just a moment ago, you said the geniuses of my Spirit Hall were nothing much."

"Now, I return those exact words to you. A Rank 20 Spirit Master reverse-slain by me, a Rank 10 Spirit Master—in my eyes, your Clear Sky Sect geniuses are also nothing much."

Hearing Yun Yuan's eerily familiar taunt, the heavily Face-conscious Tang Hao felt a sweetness rise in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood directly, his gaze toward Yun Yuan filled with fury.

This brat went too far! In the future, he, Tang Hao, would definitely return this twofold!

Just as Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, Tang Chen on the high platform vanished in an instant, landing beside Tang Hao to lift up his own grandson.

"Hao'er, are you alright?"

Tang Chen cared deeply for his grandson, terrified that the slightest mishap might befall him.

At the same time, Tang Chen glanced sideways at Yun Yuan, a trace of dissatisfaction lingering deep within his eyes.

Although Tang Chen's glance was not deliberately targeted at Yun Yuan, just how terrifying was a super Douluo? Even a casual glance made Yun Yuan—currently merely a Spirit Master—break out in a cold sweat down his spine, not daring to meet Tang Chen's eyes directly.

"So terrifying! A super Douluo is truly terrifying to the extreme!"

Tang Chen's gaze came quickly and left just as quickly, and soon Yun Yuan escaped that feeling of standing on thin ice.

Yet this only made Yun Yuan's pursuit of power even more fanatical. Sooner or later, he would become stronger than Tang Chen!
