Tang San, whose body was covered in a layer of dark golden light, held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hands, which also turned completely dark gold.
The blow, containing almost all of Tang San's soul power, struck heavily against the layer of dazzling golden light that had gathered around Qian Yuelong.
That dazzling and sacred golden light was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking all contact from the outside world.
The powerful recoil force spread throughout the entire body of the Haotian Hammer.
Tang San gritted his teeth and overcame the recoil, his eyes almost bloodshot. His arms, which were as strong as steel, were covered in a terrifying purplish-red color, swelling into blood sacs at a visible speed due to the rupture of his meridians.
"How is this possible?!"
Tang San's voice was hoarse.
The demons and their companions were pleasantly surprised.
With the unlocking of the third S-grade component, Qian Yuelong discovered that the S-grade component "Traces of Light" that she had initially created could now extend the area that should not be touched without authorization to her entire body.
Tang San's decision to take a desperate gamble and try to find a breakthrough through her was a mistake.
Qian Yuelong looked indifferently at Tang San, who was rejected outside the golden light and looked incredulous. Without saying a word, she raised her right hand and condensed miniature blue-gold floating lotus flowers.
"Buzz—!"
A sharp buzzing sound exploded in his mind. The mini lotus, propelled by the golden soul power, exploded with a bang, like a toppled domino. The chain reaction caused a deafening explosion that stunned Tang San, who had no time to defend himself.
Blood blurred Tang San's vision.
Tang San, whose soul power and mental power were both exhausted, and whose soul power was also greatly depleted due to using the weapon spirit true form at a higher level, became a blood-soaked figure.
The mini lotus, formed from the concentrated soul power of a Soul Emperor, exploded with a self-created soul skill whose power multiplied by two. It directly shattered three of the eight spider spears that were protruding from Tang San's back, and the other spider legs were also missing a segment or cracked, drooping listlessly behind him.
His turquoise team uniform shattered into pieces in the explosion, the chunks of clothing clinging to his charred flesh, inseparable.
Amidst the blood and gore, Tang San's abdomen was slightly leaking.
A hideous, horrifying bloody hole was growing in his abdomen, and the internal organs and tissues of the human body could even be seen.
Blood was everywhere, and the pain was excruciating.
Unfortunately, no one feels sorry for Tang San anymore, or cries out in concern.
Under the meticulous training of the Spirit Hall Academy, Sun Chuantao and his companions, who were used to such bloody scenes, remained unfazed, revealing cold smiles on their faces.
"The outcome is already decided."
A flash of red light appeared, and the demonic spirit dispelled its Martial Soul Fusion Technique, transforming back into Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
"Brother, he's not going to die, is he? If he dies on stage in front of everyone, wouldn't that be bad for Yuelong's reputation?" Hu Liena frowned slightly as she looked at Tang San, who lay on the ground like a piece of trash.
“Yuelong knows what she’s doing.” Xie Yue looked up at the figure slowly descending from the void.
As planned, Tang San was spared a breath, but not much.
At the very least, Tang San cannot be allowed to die on the battle stage.
As excruciating pain swept through his body, before he completely lost consciousness, Tang San stared intently at those frost-colored eyes that shone with indifferent divinity. The rise and fall of his chest became weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, this precarious light of life could be extinguished at any moment.
Covered in a faint halo, Qian Yuelong's face was slightly pale. The moment she landed, her legs seemed to lose strength, and her body lurched forward due to inertia. Fortunately, Sun Chuantao was standing right next to where Qian Yuelong landed. He quickly caught her and looked at her with concern: "Yuelong, are you alright?"
Although the supply of soul power to the fusion soul skills of the other six members of Shrek Academy had been cut off at that time, Tang San still unleashed the final blow of Chaotic Cloak under the true form of the weapon soul.
Sun Chuantao and the others subconsciously assumed that Qian Yuelong had been injured in the attack.
Qian Yuelong suppressed her surging bloodlust, closed her eyes to calm herself down amidst 886's worried calls, exhaled a breath of turbid air with a rusty smell, opened her clear, frosty eyes, and met the worried gazes of her companions who had gathered around her.
"fine."
I received a warning from the rules.
[I told you not to try it! Trust your instincts. Waaah, what a waste of an A-grade item!]
886 looked at his faith points, which had shrunk to just over two thousand, with a heavy heart.
Just a second before Qian Yuelong attacked Tang San, she crafted an A-grade damage transfer set piece.
886 sensed something was wrong and wanted Qian Yuelong to just symbolically hit the Chosen One, without actually killing him. However, Qian Yuelong calmly and ruthlessly struck.
This confirmed her previous idea: before Tang San became a god, the rules and the Heavenly Dao of this world would protect Tang San, the chosen one.
Qian Yuelong suffered a slight backlash for resisting the warning of the law, but the injury was not serious, after all, her soul strength was at the level of her previous life.
Moreover, that Grade A item also helped Qian Yuelong absorb most of the backlash from the rules.
Although it's gone, it can be made again.
"It's good that he's alright. While this kid still has a breath left, let's dispel the domain and announce the result of the match," Xie Yue reminded him.
He was afraid that Tang San would die before the results of the competition were announced.
Qian Yuelong nodded. Just like with one-click equipment, removing parts was also done in the blink of an eye.
The pale divine realm that enveloped the battle platform vanished in an instant like smoke.
The true nature of the battle arena that everyone else has been eagerly anticipating has finally come to light.
On the battle stage, Ning Rongrong and Oscar from the Shrek Academy team lay side by side, both with wounds on their shoulders from being stabbed by sharp, long weapons.
Tailong collapsed next to Dai Mubai, his face contorted in pain even in his unconscious state.
Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun also fell on the outer circle, half of their bodies covered in blood, with warm blood still oozing from their wounds.
If left untreated, there is a risk of excessive blood loss.
Not fatal, but all were unconscious.
Many people guessed that the weapons that injured them must have had special effects attached to them.
The Elite Tournament prohibits the use of non-soul skills, martial souls, soul bones, and other types of hidden weapons and poisons. It can only be speculated that Qian Yuelong, who possesses a plant-based martial soul, may have one or two soul skills among her six soul skills that contain paralyzing toxins.
No one guessed that it was related to the divine realm.
Tang San's body was almost completely battered, with a trail of crimson blood spreading beneath him, his abdomen, blasted open with a hideous bloody hole, exposed to several gazes.
The subtle rise and fall of the chest was detected by the powerful Soul Masters, but they could not find any evidence to hold the Spirit Hall Academy team accountable for the murder.
Because Tang San and the other six team members are still alive and have not truly died.
The sheer brutality of the battle was something many people hadn't anticipated.
The entire room was completely silent; not a single person could laugh.
On the Shrek Academy's side of the stands, Yu Xiaogang, still recovering from his injuries, was so heartbroken by what he saw that he could hardly breathe. He staggered and almost lost his balance.
Even his external soul bone is damaged to this extent! You should know that the external soul bone that is completely integrated with Xiao San is equivalent to his spine.
This is like forcibly pulling out and breaking the mistress's spine!
Wu! soul! temple!
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared hatefully at Qian Yuelong and the others on the battle platform, his breathing becoming rapid.
Flander looked at the students lying on the stage, still alive but in a terrible state, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Perhaps... they really were wrong; they shouldn't have confronted the Spirit Hall head-on this time...
Standing in front of the railing in the VIP stands below Bibi Dong and the others, Ning Fengzhi's arm trembled slightly as he gripped the tip of his cane tightly. He took a deep breath in restraint.
Rongrong...
Behind him, the aura emanating from Chen Xin and Gu Rong was so intense it seemed to drip water.
On the battle platform, Qian Yuelong, whose complexion had improved somewhat, took in the expressions of everyone in the high stands and lowered her eyes slightly.
—A side note—
Huang Daoyi is really effective; my muscle strain healed almost completely in about two days. I'll resume double updates tomorrow.
