109: Chapter 109 Haotian Hammer

Ning Fengzhi had long ago listed Ji Xuan as a top-priority target for observation.

Intelligence reports indicated that several years ago, Ji Xuan had stayed in Element City for quite a long time, though it was unclear exactly what he had done there.

However, Blazing Academy, Wind Spirit Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy had all seen their strength advance by leaps and bounds, far exceeding previous years; in particular, the Rank increase of their top students was simply unreasonable.

Now, when facing Shrek, Blazing Academy had revealed two Spirit Kings without reservation, clearly intending to conduct a one-sided, crushing battle.

Was there some kind of connection between these three elemental academies whose strength had skyrocketed and Ji Xuan?

If this conjecture were true...

Ning Fengzhi's heart sank abruptly; he dared not even think any further.

He looked at Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang on the arena, then looked toward Ji Xuan, who was watching from afar.

Just then, Ji Xuan felt Ning Fengzhi's gaze and suddenly turned his head to meet his eyes.

Across the noisy crowd and the great distance, the corners of Ji Xuan's mouth curled into a meaningful smile.

Alarm bells rang in Ning Fengzhi's heart, and he calmly withdrew his gaze.

His guess was likely true...

It seemed that he needed to re-evaluate Ji Xuan, and even the future situation of the continent.

...

Meanwhile, on the arena, the members of Shrek looked at each other, their faces as dark as water.

"What does Blazing Academy mean by this? Are we that strong? Are we worth two Spirit Kings coming out to deal with us?"

This thought arose in everyone's mind.

The pressure brought by Blazing Academy was not just in terms of strength, but also a huge psychological shock and confusion.

"Both teams, prepare for the match!" The referee's voice interrupted all the noise and suspicion.

But the moment the referee finished speaking, the other five members of Blazing Academy turned around and jumped off the arena without hesitation.

"Holy crap, is Blazing Academy trying to take on seven with two?"

"This is naked contempt; they don't put Shrek in their eyes at all."

"Haha, look at the expressions on those Shrek people, it's like they ate flies."

The uproar on the stage exploded again, even more intense than before.

The actions of Blazing Fire Academy completely ignited the audience's excitement for the spectacle.

On the Shrek Team side, everyone's expressions were ugly to the extreme.

Dai Mubai's tiger eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Bastards! How dare you look down on us like this?"

Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually cold and quiet, had her face completely sink at this moment.

This feeling of being slighted made them feel extremely stifled and angry.

Tang San's heart was churning with killing intent, his icy gaze fixed on Huo Wu and the other.

To dare to despise and insult their Shrek Team like this, they were simply courting death!

Just at this moment, the referee announced loudly, "The match begins!"

"First Spirit Ability, Binding!"

Tang San let out a low shout, and several Blue Silver Grass vines, like vipers with life, coiled toward Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

His goal was very clear: to strike first.

However, facing the incoming Blue Silver Grass, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang did not even use a Spirit Ability; they just allowed the flames rising around their bodies to expand slightly.

Having absorbed the Immortal Plant, their flames had already undergone a qualitative change.

The Blue Silver Grass had not even gotten close before it quickly charred under the terrifying high temperature, then turned into ash, failing to cause even a hint of obstruction.

The absolute suppression in attributes, combined with the huge gap in Soul Power Rank, made Tang San's preemptive control appear completely useless.

"Damn it!" Tang San's sense of powerlessness regarding his Blue Silver Grass Spirit grew stronger. "Mubai, Zhuqing!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing completed their Fusion instantly, and the Hell White Tiger pounced toward Huo Wushuang with a ferocious Aura.

Tang San stepped on the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, attempting to get close to Huo Wu like a ghost.

Tai Long and Jing Ling flanked Huo Wu from the left and right.

Ma Hongjun took to the air to harass them.

Ning Rongrong quickly retreated after completing her amplification.

Shrek's combined attack unfolded in an instant.

...

However, the disparity in strength was too great, and Huo Wu and the other were no longer what they used to be.

In just a few rounds, the Hell White Tiger collapsed and disintegrated under Huo Wushuang's violent flame impact.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing spat out blood and were blasted out of the arena by a punch from Huo Wushuang.

Immediately after, Huo Wushuang's fifth Spirit Ability, a dark red flame beam, shot out and struck Ma Hongjun, knocking him down from the air.

Ma Hongjun's flame harassment ultimately failed to have any impact on the two from Blazing Fire Academy.

On the other side, Huo Wu also blasted the approaching Tai Long and Jing Ling off the arena.

In the blink of an eye, only Tang San remained on the arena for the Shrek side.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang blocked all his paths of retreat, one in front and one behind.

Watching his companions fall one after another, Tang San's heart was filled with humiliation, anger, and unwillingness.

He absolutely could not lose like this!

A surge of determination welled up in his heart; he retracted his Blue Silver Grass, black light emerged in his hands, and a pitch-black giant hammer appeared out of thin air, its terrifying Aura instantly sweeping across the entire venue.

"What is that?"

"What a terrifying Aura!"

The audience exclaimed repeatedly.

In the VIP seats, Emperor Xue Ye leaned forward, his gaze sharp: "The world's number one Tool Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer? Is Tang San a twin spirits user?"

"That is correct, Your Majesty." Ning Fengzhi's expression was calm; he had already known.

Bishop Salas's expression darkened slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the arena, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang exchanged a glance, with no surprise in their eyes.

"Haaah—!" Tang San roared, swinging the heavy Clear Sky Hammer with both hands, ferociously smashing it toward Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang in the style of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

The two met the hammer head-on.

The hammer and flames collided, a thunderous boom exploded, and shockwaves rolled out.

Tang San's use of the Clear Sky Hammer was still rudimentary, making it difficult to unleash its true power.

Under the violent flames, he was shaken into staggering backward after just a few rounds, his blood surging in reverse, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah—!" Tang San's eyes were splitting, and he swung the hammer again regardless of everything!

However, facing the pincer attack from two high-level Spirit Kings, he was quickly defeated, sent flying backward, covered in char, and unconscious.

The referee immediately announced, "Blazing Academy wins!"

The Golden Triangle, and the rest of Shrek, rushed off the arena.

Yu Xiaogang was the first to rush to Tang San's side, his heart clenching tightly.

Tang San was his most proud Disciple, his hope to prove himself; nothing must happen to him!

"Little San, Little San!" Yu Xiaogang shouted anxiously.

He then suddenly looked up at the referee: "Referee! Blazing Academy is killing someone! I demand they be judged to have lost! And disqualify them from the competition!"

As long as he insisted on it and got Blazing Academy disqualified, Shrek would have one less strong enemy!

Yu Xiaogang's words instantly attracted the attention of the entire venue, and the Soul Fighting Arena suddenly fell silent.

The referee signaled for the arena's healing Spirit Master to step forward and examine him.

A moment later, the healing Spirit Master announced loudly, "The injuries are not heavy, and his Foundation has not been damaged. It will not affect subsequent matches."

Before the match, Ji Xuan had specifically instructed Huo Wu and the others to hold back their strength, so as not to affect their subsequent matches.

Yu Xiaogang was instantly stunned. How was this possible?

The referee said, "Protest invalid."

Yu Xiaogang still wanted to retort: "My Disciple is injured so heavily, how can he be fine?"

The healing Spirit Master frowned and said, "Are you questioning my judgment?"

Sneers immediately came from the stands.

"If you can't afford to lose, don't play!"

"When you fought the Heaven Dou Second Team, your attacks were much harsher than this."

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly flushed red, his chest heaving violently, and he was so angry he couldn't speak.

"Alright, Xiaogang!" Flender hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, lowering his voice, "Saving him is the priority!"

Yu Xiaogang realized he really had no argument to refute, and in the end, he could only leave the Soul Fighting Arena in a hurry with the others, his face livid, taking the injured Shrek members with them.
