112: Chapter 112 Advancement Tournament

The moment Tang San's voice fell, the fifth spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up: "Fifth Spirit Ability, Armor-Piercing Strike!"

A dark golden luster appeared on the surface of the Clear Sky Hammer.

This was a spirit ring from a twenty-thousand-year-old Diamond Rhinoceros, endowing the Clear Sky Hammer with the purest power to break through defenses.

"Urghhh—!" Tang San gripped the hammer with both hands and smashed it directly down towards Huo Wushuang!

This strike had no bells and whistles; it was the purest, most direct frontal heavy smash!

Huo Wushuang's pupils shrank, and alarm bells rang in his heart; the power of this strike was immense!

He dared not hold back any longer, and his third and fifth spirit rings simultaneously bloomed with light.

As his body expanded, a high-pitched Dragon roar resounded throughout the arena, and the Fire Dragon formed once again, its body coiling to protect him tightly in the center.

Bang—!!

The Clear Sky Hammer and the giant flame Dragon collided with a boom!

The Fire Dragon trembled violently for an instant, yet it still held fast against the Clear Sky Hammer.

A cold light flashed in Tang San's eyes as his first spirit ring lit up again: "First Spirit Ability, Earth Power."

The already immensely heavy Clear Sky Hammer's weight surged once more!

Rumble—!!

The giant Dragon could ultimately not withstand the terrifying force of the Clear Sky Hammer; it exploded with a boom, turning into a sky full of flowing fire.

The Clear Sky Hammer's momentum was only slightly hindered before it continued to smash towards Huo Wushuang!

"Not good!" Huo Wushuang's heart sank as he stomped hard on the ground and hurriedly retreated.

Rumble—!!

The Clear Sky Hammer smashed heavily onto the arena, causing the ground to instantly crack and sending gravel flying into the air.

One could see just how terrifying the force of Tang San's hammer was!

Seeing his hammer miss, Tang San activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, dragging the Clear Sky Hammer with his right hand as he charged towards Huo Wushuang, the hammer's head carving a clear mark into the ground.

Tang San approached Huo Wushuang in an instant, gripped the hammer with both hands again, sank his waist, unleashed the strength of his entire body, and swung the Clear Sky Hammer horizontally!

Huo Wushuang hurriedly crossed his arms to protect his front, fine crimson Dragon scales covering his arms, his Soul Power pushed to the limit!

Bang—!!!

The hammer and his arms collided, erupting with a dull, thunderous sound.

Huo Wushuang groaned, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as his feet slid backward, the flames scorching the arena surface black.

His arms felt an intense pain as if the bones were about to crack, and he almost lost all sensation in them.

Huo Wushuang gritted his teeth hard and managed to force himself to stop, blocking the momentum of this hammer strike.

However, right at this moment, a light flashed on Tang San's right arm.

The Earth Demon Bear Right Arm Bone caused his strength to surge once more!

Crack—!!!

The layer of hard, crimson Dragon scales on Huo Wushuang's arms shattered in response!

"Pfft—!"

Huo Wushuang could no longer hold on; he sprayed a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and fell heavily outside the arena.

Tang San stood in the center of the arena with the Clear Sky Hammer planted heavily on the ground, his chest heaving violently with his breath.

Although he had won this battle, his Soul Power and physical stamina were more than half depleted.

Below the arena, the members of Blazing Academy had already gathered around Huo Wushuang.

Although Huo Wushuang was in a sorry state, he had not sustained any fundamental injuries and would only need two or three days of recuperation to recover.

At this moment, the referee's voice sounded right on cue: "The first match, Shrek Academy wins!"

...

Immediately after, Huo Wu leaped onto the arena, her Spirit, Fire Shadow, was suddenly released, and five spirit rings swirled and rose from beneath her feet.

Her beautiful eyes locked firmly onto Tang San, and her long crimson hair lifted in the scorching heat waves.

"The second round, the match begins!"

The moment the referee's voice fell, Huo Wu did not hesitate in the slightest; the five spirit rings beneath her feet began to fuse.

Following that, "Fire Dance Radiates the Sun!"

Huo Wu held her hands together in front of her chest, her Soul Power rapidly converging. A scorching fireball rose from her palms, continuously expanding until it finally hovered above her head.

The energy contained within that fireball was extremely terrifying, and the surrounding air was scorched until it twisted violently.

Huo Wu knew deep down that facing Tang San, who was not in his prime state, meant she had to seize the initiative, so she unleashed her strongest attack right from the start.

Ever since consuming the Immortal Plant, her control over flames had far surpassed what it used to be, and she could now control such a lethal move with ease.

"Go!"

Huo Wu thrust her arms forward violently, and the fireball flew towards Tang San with a boom.

This attack had an extremely wide range, and Tang San had nowhere to dodge; he could only take it head-on.

"Third Spirit Ability, Whirlwind Frenzy Dance."

A black whirlwind suddenly swirled up with Tang San at its center, protecting him within.

Rumble—!

The instant the fireball collided with the whirlwind, an explosive sound rang out, and flames splattered everywhere.

The stalemate lasted only for a moment before the compressed-to-the-limit Fire Dance Radiates the Sun suddenly exploded.

The terrifying heat wave and impact force swept across the arena, and the whirlwind suddenly collapsed.

Tang San's figure was completely exposed, and he was sent flying by the violent force, smashing heavily onto the edge of the arena.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being eliminated.

Tang San propped himself up with his hands, unable to suppress a cough that brought up a mouthful of blood.

But he gritted his teeth, used the Clear Sky Hammer to support his body, and stood up once again.

At this moment, Tang San looked extremely disheveled, his clothes torn, his mouth stained with blood, his internal Qi and blood churning, and his Soul Power in complete disarray.

He had taken Huo Wu's attack head-on, but he had paid the price of being heavily injured.

On the other side of the arena, Huo Wu's situation was equally precarious.

That move, Fire Dance Radiates the Sun, had nearly drained her Soul Power, and her face was somewhat pale.

She stared fixedly at Tang San, her eyes filled with both shock and unwillingness.

Such an all-out attack still hadn't completely defeated him.

A moment later, Tang San raised his hand to forcefully wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bloodshot.

He had already defeated six in a row, only the last one remained...

The humiliations of the past instantly transformed into strength, supporting him as he charged forward once again.

He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, relying purely on the strength of his Physical Body and willpower as he smashed towards Huo Wu.

This strike had no Soul Power infused into it, but its force was still terrifying.

Huo Wu gritted her teeth and used her last shred of Soul Power: "Third Spirit Ability, Fire Resistance Ring!"

A bright ring of flames suddenly expanded from around her body.

The Clear Sky Hammer smashed onto the fire ring, and Tang San, whose strength was already insufficient, was forced back several meters by the repulsive force.

The two of them stood several meters apart, gasping violently.

It was clear that both of them were at the end of their rope.

At this moment, the referee quickly intervened and asked in a deep voice: "The two of you, do you still have the strength to continue fighting?"

The veins on the back of Tang San's hand gripping the hammer bulged; he stared fixedly at Huo Wu, his teeth clenched tight, his heart full of unwillingness.

Just a little more... to wash away the past shame, it was just missing this last bit! But he had no strength left to fight at this moment.

On the other side, Huo Wu was also barely able to maintain her standing position, let alone gather Soul Power again.

The two of them could only shake their heads in unison.

Seeing this, the referee immediately announced loudly: "The second round, a draw!"

Although Tang San failed to achieve the feat of defeating seven in a row, having fought to a draw with Huo Wu, Blazing Academy was now completely eliminated.

The referee's final voice resounded throughout the arena: "The winner of this promotion tournament match—Shrek Academy!"
