Now, Tang Hao was at the peak of his strength in over a decade, and with the power of ring explosions, he was confident he could face even a 97th or 98th-ranked Super Douluo without fear!
Whether he could win was another matter, but with the boost from ring explosions, Tang Hao believed he could stand against any 98th-ranked Super Douluo!
Moreover, his elder brother Tang Xiao had also begun to master ring explosions. With this ability, Tang Xiao's combat power had increased by about 30%.
Thus, the Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect now only had slight reservations about facing the Spirit Hall's elders. Against others, they had no fear or concern!
Seeing the tense situation, Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong's expressions grew increasingly grim.
Finally, after exchanging a glance, they made their decision.
They could not stand by and watch Xiao Wu be taken away.
"Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, Tang San, if you want to take Xiao Wu, you'll have to prove it in battle! Ever since I broke through to the 96th rank, I've been curious—how powerful is your so-called number one tool spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the hot-tempered Liu Erlong took the initiative.
Intense and terrifying flames of extreme fire erupted from her body.
As her nine soul rings appeared, and her pitch-black seventh soul ring began to glow, Liu Erlong activated her Extreme Fire Dragon Phoenix True Body and charged toward Tang Xiao.
Dugu Bo, following closely behind, released his Jade Phosphor Serpent Dragon and charged at Tang Hao.
"Arrogant!"
"Insolent!"
Seeing Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo dare to attack first, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao summoned their Clear Sky Hammers with furious expressions.
As Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo approached, the Clear Sky Hammers in Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's hands expanded to over ten meters long after activating their Tool Spirit True Bodies.
They then unleashed their soul skills and the Great Sumeru Hammer, clashing fiercely with Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo.
Before long, the battle between the four Super Douluos erupted within the Blue Tyrant Academy.
Fortunately, all the students and teachers had been temporarily evacuated. Otherwise, the collision alone would have claimed many lives.
The only ones remaining in the academy were Xiao Yu's women and a few loyal teachers, such as the hardworking Teacher Yin Shu.
Yu Luoming did not participate in the battle but used his soul power to protect those present from the aftermath of the fight.
As the battle continued, both sides realized that ordinary soul skills were insufficient to subdue their opponents, so they began to use their ultimate moves.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Dragon's Roar!"
"Ninth Soul Skill: Dragon Phoenix Descent!"
"Clear Sky Nine Techniques, Killing Technique!"
"Ring Explosion!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Tang Xiao's nine techniques merged into a massive, killing intent-filled character, shrouded in a gray aura.
He chose not to use ring explosions because he was not yet proficient, and he believed the Killing Technique alone was enough to defeat Liu Erlong.
Tang Hao, on the other hand, was more straightforward. The two yellow and two purple soul rings on his body exploded, and the immense soul power surged into his body. With his power greatly enhanced, Tang Hao roared and swung his hammer with full force!
In an instant, the massive killing character and the pitch-black war hammer collided with the oncoming dark green dragon's breath and a fire dragon with phoenix wings.
"Boom..."
As their powerful attacks collided, a massive explosion erupted, shaking the Blue Tyrant Academy at the center of Heaven Dou City like a nuclear bomb had been dropped.
The terrifying explosion even affected several streets near the academy.
Fortunately, Xue Qinghe had prepared in advance, or the aftermath would have caused significant civilian casualties.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fengzhi watched the scene with a complex expression.
The sudden resurgence of the Clear Sky Sect had dealt him a heavy blow.
"Fengzhi, are we really not going to intervene?"
The Sword Douluo looked at the earth-shaking explosion, his heart filled with unease.
Such a terrifying display—even he would barely be able to protect himself if caught in it. But if they didn't intervene and Tang Hao and Tang Xiao succeeded in taking Xiao Wu, how would they explain it to Xiao Yu when he returned?
Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with a bitter smile.
"Uncle Sword, how can we intervene? You know as well as I do that Tang Chen easily defeated the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu. The Clear Sky Sect's resurgence is unstoppable.
Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect isn't just Tang Chen alone. It's said that the sect now has five Title Douluo elders, and the Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect have shown strength comparable to yours, Uncle Sword. With such formidable power, I even think the Spirit Hall might be inferior to them.
Now, I even regret not helping Tang San earlier for the sake of his Clear Sky Hammer, to leave some goodwill between us. There were many opportunities back then..."
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, the Sword Douluo's expression also turned grim.
Ning Fengzhi was excellent in many ways, but his indecisiveness was something the Sword Douluo found hard to respect. However, he didn't voice this and instead continued to advise.
"Fengzhi, that's not entirely true. Isn't Xiao Yu still in seclusion? Once he emerges, with his talent, he might not be weaker than Tang Chen in the future!"
"Hehe, Uncle Sword, Xiao Yu's talent is indeed terrifying. But talent is talent, and strength is strength. Only those who can transform talent into strength can be called geniuses. If Xiao Yu doesn't show up, that's one thing. But if he does, I believe the Tang family won't let him off easily."
"Fengzhi, what do you mean..."
The Sword Douluo's heart suddenly filled with a sense of foreboding.
"After Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo are defeated, we'll hand Xiao Wu over to them and mediate. Then, at the sect's grand meeting next month, we'll have a proper discussion with Tang Chen. Xiao Yu is good, but Tang Chen is currently the strongest."
Ning Fengzhi spoke with a tone of helplessness.
