Chapter 157:Tang Hao Appears
🕑 Added 2025-01-08 18:43:48 +0000 UTCWith the referee announcing that the Heaven Dou Second Team had won, they were crowned champions of this prestigious Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Yu Xiaogang quickly ran up to the stage, supporting Tang San, who was lying on the ground. At this point, Tang San was clearly exhausted, and it could be said that he had suffered significant injuries.
Yu Xiaogang checked Tang San's body, seeming somewhat puzzled as he turned to Yang Podi and asked, "Yang Podi, with your strength, even if you had taken the Clear Sky Hammer's Soul Avatar directly, you should have been able to handle it. Why did you adopt that strategy earlier?"
Yang Podi just shook his head. "An avatar without soul rings is nothing more than a gimmick. What kind of power could it have? I used that strategy simply because I didn't want to make things more complicated."
Yang Podi silently thought to himself: If I had intervened and injured the seven of them, who knows what Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong would have said. If they blamed me for breaking the rules and hurting someone, it might have resulted in a loss for me and a victory for Heaven Dou First Team. That would have been quite troublesome.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi in the stands summoned a giant Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the seven-colored light immediately enveloped all the members of Heaven Dou First Team. In just an instant, everyone's soul power and even their physical condition had significantly recovered. Truly worthy of the title of the continent's number one supporting system soul master.
However, something unusual happened. When the enormous supporting soul power flowed into Xiao Wu's body, there was a backlash. A silver little herb flew out of Xiao Wu's body. With his knowledge of pharmacology, Yang Podi instantly recognized it as the Silver Spirit Grass. It was a treasure that concealed one's aura, no wonder Xiao Wu's soul beast aura had been hidden so well and not detected by the Title Douluo.
Yet Yang Podi still felt a bit puzzled. Whether it was in the original story or now, Xiao Wu never had any soul power backlash when receiving the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. But now, this phenomenon had occurred with Ning Fengzhi's support.
At this moment, after the support, Xiao Wu also regained consciousness but seemed to notice something strange. She quickly tucked the Silver Spirit Grass back into her body.
Suddenly, the faces of all the Title Douluo in the plaza changed. Especially Pope Bibi Dong, who had a dark cloud over her head from losing the championship. However, now her gaze was fixed on Xiao Wu as if she was thinking something.
Sword Douluo also seemed to sense the anomaly and quickly walked over to Ning Fengzhi, whispering something. Ning Fengzhi then gave Xiao Wu a puzzled look.
Even Yang Podi's grandfather, Yang Wudi, and his maternal grandfather, Niu Gao, cast a longing glance at Xiao Wu. After all, a 100,000-year-old soul bone was more valuable than three soul bones from the Soul Master Tournament.
As the Seven from Heaven Dou First Team recovered, Tang San and the others followed Yu Xiaogang off the stage. Yang Podi was left alone on the stage.
A cardinal spoke, "Please, the representative of Heaven Dou Second Team, come up to claim the championship prize."
Yang Podi turned to look at his six teammates, then glanced at his grandfather and maternal grandfather, and with a determined expression, he walked toward the award platform.
Yang Podi walked slowly, all eyes on him, as he reached the award stage.
When Yang Podi arrived, only Pope Bibi Dong was present. But Bibi Dong now appeared more radiant, with an unmatched beauty, and her figure seemed to have grown even taller. She radiated an aura of invincibility, making everyone around her seem small.
Bibi Dong seemed to have regained her composure and spoke with authority, "Congratulations to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Second Team for winning the Soul Master Tournament. These three soul bones are your prize and well-deserved. I hope you will continue to work hard and one day enter the Spirit Hall."
After speaking, Bibi Dong presented the wooden box containing the soul bones to Yang Podi.
Yang Podi quickly stretched out both hands, solemnly accepting the award.
A greedy gaze emanated from the crowd, all eyes were fixed on the wooden box in Yang Podi's hands. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Pope's Hall, countless people might have tried to snatch it from him.
Bibi Dong looked at Yang Podi holding the box, her gaze carrying a deeper meaning as she spoke to him, "Congratulations, Yang Podi. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining our Spirit Hall? We will provide the best training for you."
Yang Podi slightly squinted his eyes, then bowed respectfully to Bibi Dong, his face serious as he responded, "Thank you, Your Holiness. I deeply appreciate your offer, but my Breaking Clan is still too weak. I plan to take my clan to Almos Mountain to develop. I hope Your Holiness understands."
Bibi Dong seemed to have anticipated his response and merely said faintly, "Almos Mountain is a good place. I hope you lead the Breaking Clan to rise."
Yang Podi once again bowed to Bibi Dong, then returned to his team with the wooden box. Before anyone could speak, Yang Podi immediately stored the three soul bones into his soul tool. "We'll discuss everything when we get back. Let's leave for now."
Then, Yang Podi led his team to join his grandfather Yang Wudi and maternal grandfather Niu Gao. He intentionally moved closer to the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, which caused Xue Qinghe to smile slightly.
At that moment, Bibi Dong's expression became serious. "The Soul Master Tournament is over. Spirit Hall affiliates, capture that girl."
With Bibi Dong's gaze, everyone turned to Xiao Wu, especially the Title Douluo from Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, who seemed ready to attack.
Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Your Holiness, what do you mean by this?"
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, standing to the side, seemed to understand something and appeared to want to assist.
Bibi Dong glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, then coldly spoke, "Sect Master Ning, please respect yourself. If you interfere with the matters of Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will become Spirit Hall's enemy."
Ning Fengzhi sighed softly but remained where he was, refraining from action.
Yu Xiaogang was still confused, but he shouted in anger, "I'm also a Spirit Hall elder! I have the right to know the truth."
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang's expression, a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and spoke, "The girl from Heaven Dou First Team, Xiao Wu, is a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human. Spirit Hall maintains peace in human society and needs to organize humans to fight against the soul beast clan. Anyone who dares to favor the soul beast clan will be our enemy."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the plaza changed their expressions, especially the members of Heaven Dou First Team. Even Tang San looked confused as he gazed at Xiao Wu.
At this point, Xiao Wu appeared more resolute than before, her face filled with resentment as she glared at Bibi Dong. "It was you who killed my mother back then."
Bibi Dong coldly responded, "It's natural for human soul masters to kill soul beasts. If I'm not mistaken, you must be the one who escaped from the massacre. I never expected you to throw yourself into the net."
At this point, Tang San seemed to realize something and stood in front of Xiao Wu. "Anyone who dares to harm Xiao Wu must step over my dead body."
The other members of Heaven Dou First Team exchanged looks, unsure of what to say. Their feelings seemed different from the Shrek Academy of the original story, as they hadn't received Tang San's Immortal Herb.
Talon and Bai Xiaofei quickly stood on either side of Tang San, resolutely speaking, "No one is allowed to harm our young master."
At this moment, Flender spoke up. "You are all our students. How could we old fellows let you die?"
After speaking, Flender and Liu Erlong joined Yu Xiaogang's side. The three of them stood at the front, ready to fight at any moment.
Bibi Dong looked at the scene before her, especially the determined faces of Yu Xiaogang and the others. She finally gritted her teeth and ordered, "Attack!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul rings flashed, and countless petals like blades shot toward the entire Heaven Dou First Team. Ghost Douluo turned into a shadow and quickly attacked the group.
Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong exchanged looks before joining forces. They summoned their martial souls, which seemed to be connected in some way, forming a golden triangle. They shouted together, "Sun and Moon Shine, Golden Turn."
Certainly! Here's the translation you requested with the changes made:
---
Immediately, the three of them merged their martial souls, forming a huge golden dragon that looked extremely powerful, likely reaching the strength of a Title Douluo level.
However, the three of them were relatively weaker, especially since Yu Xiaogang was only at the 29th rank. Regardless of their soul power or physical strength, they were far behind. Facing the Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were true Title Douluo and had reached the 95th rank in soul power, the three of them quickly fell into a difficult situation.
Even more troublesome, Bibi Dong also summoned her own martial soul and soul rings. A giant Death Spider Emperor appeared around Bibi Dong, showing two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul ring. Especially that red soul ring, which put immense pressure on everyone present.
As it seemed that Yu Xiaogang and the others were about to lose, especially considering Bibi Dong's unfathomable strength, suddenly a voice came from the sky: "A chrysanthemum, a little ghost, and you think you can hurt my son?"
A huge shadow appeared in the sky. The person was dressed in a tattered black robe, looking very worn, but his eyes carried an inexplicable strength and hatred.
This person was Tang Hao. Tang Hao summoned a massive Clear Sky Hammer and appeared with nine soul rings. His soul rings also had two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red, releasing an overwhelming aura that collided with Bibi Dong's.
Then, Tang Hao released an incredibly strong white light, enveloping the entire world. At the same time, Tang Hao's soul rings flashed, and the Clear Sky Hammer immediately became enormous, transforming into the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
In the sky, a giant blood-red figure formed, holding a massive Clear Sky Hammer, seemingly smashing toward Bibi Dong. At the same time, a huge voice echoed: "Little San, watch carefully. This is the true Clear Sky True Body." Tang Hao's words seemed to respond to Yang Podi's earlier comments about Yu Xiaogang.
Bibi Dong and the others seemed to react. Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo all summoned their martial soul true bodies, seemingly wanting to block Tang Hao's earth-shattering strike. However, Tang Hao's strike seemed to be incredibly powerful. With just one swing, it seemed like the three from Spirit Hall were already falling into a disadvantage.
At that moment, four rays of light shot from Spirit Hall, and four figures quickly flew toward Tang Hao, seemingly ready to face Tang Hao's attack.
Tang Hao seemed to go all out, gripping the hammer with both hands and striking again. The entire world turned blood-red.
At this moment, Yang Podi was stunned. From Tang Hao's appearance, it was clear he had injuries, but that astonishing blood-red light was obviously the Killing God Domain. Unexpectedly, Tang Hao was able to use both the Killing God Domain and the Clear Sky True Body together, seemingly making the power grow immensely.
Meanwhile, Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, who were standing to the side, seemed reluctant, as though they were reminiscing about the times they fought side by side.
Yang Podi quickly grabbed the two of them and infused them with soul power, reminding them to be aware of their current position.
With Tang Hao's full-force strike, even at the last moment, the two yellow soul rings on his body exploded, making the Clear Sky Hammer grow considerably. Tang Hao's final blow actually bypassed Bibi Dong's seven and directly attacked the Pope's Hall, seemingly aiming to level the entire hall.
The seven from Spirit Hall, seeing this, gathered all their soul power to block the enormous Clear Sky Hammer.
At that moment, Tang Hao quickly flew toward the Heaven Dou First Team, using his soul power to lift Tang San and Xiao Wu before swiftly leaving.
Before leaving, Tang Hao seemed to glance at Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, and even Yang Podi felt that Bibi Dong also briefly glanced at the two.
In the end, Tang Hao quickly took Tang San and Xiao Wu out of Spirit Hall, while Bibi Dong's face showed deep unwillingness: "Tang Hao is indeed formidable. I didn't expect that after training for so many years, I still lacked in power."
Then, unexpectedly, Bibi Dong disregarded the emotions of the crowd and ignored Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's request to pursue Tang Hao.
Seeing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer internally: They are all old actors. Spirit Hall missed this golden opportunity, and they will likely suffer a lot in the future. But what does this have to do with me?
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe seemed to grit his teeth, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.
