She was Yi Chen, and her Fire Element Martial Soul was incredibly powerful. She was also one of the two control-type soul masters on the Star Luo Battle Team.
The other control-type soul master, Wang Shi Ying, also possessed an elemental Martial Soul. However, hers was not fire, but Wind Element.
The two of them were currently advancing. Wang Shi Ying pushed her palms forward, and a ring of azure light landed in front of them. The moment it touched the ground, it expanded rapidly, first transforming into a small whirlwind, then quickly growing taller and wider, eventually reaching a height of over ten meters, becoming a miniature tornado.
At the same time, a streak of fire shot towards the tornado, or rather, was sucked into it. The fire wasn't concentrated; it dispersed and merged into the tornado the instant it was pulled in.
That streak of fire was Yi Chen's doing. After accomplishing this, neither of them stopped; they continued to channel wind and fire energy into the tornado.
Fire borrowed the wind's power, and the wind aided the fire's momentum. With this cooperation, the power increased significantly.
After a few breaths, a giant fire tornado, nearly twenty meters tall and about five meters in diameter, appeared in the arena. The scorching heat emanating from it and the occasional bursts of wind blades made it impossible to ignore.
Especially the members of the Sun Moon Battle Team; they could clearly feel the intense danger the tornado brought.
But they had no time to worry about that. Let's rewind to the moment Ma Ru Long was trapped.
"Attack!"
With Xu Jiu Jiu's order, as if they had planned it, everyone unleashed their ultimate moves simultaneously.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Nether Spring Fall!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Demon Tiger Assault!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Lightning Flash Flying Spirit!"
In the sky, black spikes plummeted downwards. Blue and purple avian spirit bodies circled in the air before also pursuing their targets. On the ground, pure black phantom tigers charged forward.
Their only target was the Sun Moon Battle Team.
Tang Ling's giant Clear Sky Hammer, which had been in front of him, quickly shrunk back to its original form. Next, Tang Ling turned his body halfway, gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly with both hands, and used his legs to drive his waist, his waist to drive his back, and his back to drive his arms. He spun around, swinging the hammer in his hands.
As Tang Ling turned around, a beam of orange light shot towards him. Tang Ling ignored it, only slightly adjusting his stance to smash the Clear Sky Hammer towards the beam.
At the same time, the soul power on his body surged violently. Then, in the eyes of others, Tang Ling's first yellow soul ring shattered on the spot.
The shattered soul ring turned into a mass of pure soul power and surged into Tang Ling's body. Thanks to this, Tang Ling's momentum immediately rose a bit. The approaching orange beam was also smashed by Tang Ling with a single hammer strike.
Tang Ling did not stop, but swung the Clear Sky Hammer again as before, turning his body again and again, just like he was performing a dance.
"This, this, could this be the legendary Raging Storm Hammer Technique?" At this moment, the knowledgeable Xiang Wu Qing couldn't help but blurt out after seeing Tang Ling's hammer technique, his tone as exaggerated as could be, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Huo Yu Hao rolled his eyes. What's the big deal? He was about to speak and tell Xiang Wu Qing to calm down, but someone else spoke before him.
"Big brother, what is the Raging Storm Hammer Technique? Is it powerful?" Xiang Yu Qing asked with a curious expression.
"It's very powerful, of course it's very powerful." Xiang Wu Qing nodded solemnly. Then, he continued, "The Raging Storm Hammer Technique was originally created by Tang Chen, the ancestor of the Clear Sky School. It's a forging technique that uses a series of continuous strikes. By leveraging force, it can unleash the full power. It is the strongest forging technique for removing impurities from metal, but it can also be used in combat. When mastered, it can unleash eighty-one consecutive hammer strikes without interruption, with each strike's power increasing compared to the previous one. Each strike affects the Domain, and the attack power is cumulative. After eighty-one strikes, it will definitely break the opponent's Domain."
Pfft!
Just as Xiang Wu Qing was explaining solemnly, with everyone listening with admiration, a discordant sound broke the atmosphere. Xiang Wu Qing and the others looked at Huo Yu Hao in confusion. The snicker came from Huo Yu Hao. They didn't understand why Huo Yu Hao was laughing, especially Xiang Wu Qing. He didn't seem to have said anything wrong. He could hear the disdain in Huo Yu Hao's laughter. If it were someone else, he would have lost his temper long ago, but it was Huo Yu Hao, this monster.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Huo Yu Hao composed himself and coughed, "Ahem, you continue, you continue."
But after being interrupted by him, how could Xiang Wu Qing continue? Xiang Wu Qing also wanted to know where he had gone wrong, so he put on a posture of humbly seeking advice, and said respectfully, "I don't know if I said something wrong? I hope the Young Master will not hesitate to give me some advice."
Huo Yu Hao waved his hand and said casually, "It's not advice, but I want to correct you. Domains aren't as weak as you think, otherwise, people who awaken Domains wouldn't be so rare."
Xiang Wu Qing didn't react much, but he didn't think Huo Yu Hao was just saying something casually. So, he continued to humbly seek advice, eager for knowledge: "Can the Young Master elaborate?"
Huo Yu Hao smiled, and seeing everyone's interested gazes, he didn't hide anything and slowly began to speak, "I suppose you all understand that a Domain enhances one's own attributes and suppresses the opponent's strength, right?"
Everyone nodded slightly, curious as to why Huo Yuhao said that. Wasn't that how it worked? They continued listening to what he had to say.
"You're not wrong, but that's just the most superficial and brainless way to use it. The true ability of a Domain is to allow one to communicate with and harness the ambient energy within its range, and even make it their own. Most people don't know the correct way to use it, and just rely on their own soul power to sustain it. The result is that their soul power is heavily depleted after releasing their Domain, making it difficult to maintain and ultimately, a waste of effort."
"A Domain that can communicate with the energy of the world is a qualitative change. Its power is far beyond the former, and it will even be amplified in specific environments. The most typical examples are the innate Domains of the two god-level Martial Souls: the Angel Domain and the Sea God Domain. Their power when used in the sky and the ocean is beyond imagination."
"And the reason the Clear Sky Hammer can break a Domain is because of a concentrated, all-out burst. In simple terms, it's the essence of breaking a surface with a single point. But have you considered what would happen if the opponent shrinks their Domain? Could it still be broken then?"
Xiang Wu Qing and the others were shocked, never expecting that a Domain could have such a profound effect. They were filled with envy.
Du Bu Si remained expressionless, but he was secretly astonished. With his knowledge, he naturally knew these things, but he hadn't expected his young disciple to understand Domains to such a profound degree.
"Young Master, is what you used on stage before also like this?" Thinking of Huo Yuhao's battle with Wang Qiu Er and Ma Xiao Tao, Xiang Wu Qing instinctively inquired, also using respectful language.
Although he was asking a question, Xiang Wu Qing already knew the answer.
"Well, my Domain is related to the spirit. Its main function is to influence an opponent's mind and emotions." Huo Yuhao admitted openly. He'd used it so many times that he figured most people had figured it out. But he only offered a brief explanation; he wouldn't reveal the specifics of his abilities to others.
Seeing Huo Yuhao stop, the others understood he didn't want to elaborate, so they didn't press him for more details.
But thinking about Huo Yuhao's words regarding the use of his Domain, this might very well be one of the reasons for his strength. At this moment, everyone was filled with admiration for Huo Yuhao. After all, many people understood the theory, but very few could actually put it into practice.
"Also, I want to tell you all that whether it's the Raging Storm Hammer Technique or a Domain, they're just forms of expressing and utilizing power. Strong is strong, but there's always someone stronger. Nothing is absolute or invincible," Huo Yuhao concluded, also giving these people some pointers. Compared to Shrek Academy's hypocrisy, the Body Sect had quite a few genuine people, which he appreciated.
Xiang Wu Qing stood up at this point and respectfully bowed to Huo Yuhao. "Thank you, Young Sect Master, for your guidance." He felt his face burn with shame. Right, there's no such thing as absolute and invincible. I'm still too short-sighted.
Xiang Yu Qing, Lin Kong, and the others also wanted to stand up and bow. Huo Yuhao, however, casually waved his hand, sending out his soul power to settle on them, pressing them back into their seats.
"Sit down, let's just chat casually. No need for so many formalities." As he spoke, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but roll his eyes. If others saw this, they'd think they were in school.
Sometimes, Huo Yuhao really felt the Body Sect had too many rules. They were always bowing, and disciples had to kneel when they saw the Sect Master, which was quite awkward.
Being a Soul Master, he needed to save face, you know?
He wasn't pretending or trying to show off; he was simply amused. Could anyone seriously think that Domains were common?
"Hey, look! Tang Ling's soul rings are gone!" Xiang Yu Qing suddenly exclaimed, her gaze fixed on the arena.
Everyone turned to look at Tang Ling. They saw that only his fourth and fifth soul rings remained.
"That's Soul Ring Explosion, a famous technique of the Clear Sky Clan. After the soul rings explode, they turn into soul power to nourish the user, allowing them to unleash power far beyond their original cultivation," Wei Na explained at this moment.
"Soul Ring Explosion? That's so amazing!" Long Ao Tian, the little nobody,'s eyes lit up after hearing Wei Na's words.
Wei Na saw through his thoughts and immediately shook her head. "Although it's powerful, the consequences are also extremely serious. It takes at least three days to recover after a soul ring explosion, and each explosion damages the soul rings. There have been cases of Clear Sky Clan disciples whose soul rings completely disappeared after repeated explosions. That's why, despite its power, Soul Ring Explosion has gradually faded away in the Soul Master world."
Everyone felt a sense of disappointment upon hearing this. But they realized it made sense. There's no such thing as power that comes out of nowhere. Even if there is, there's always a price to pay.

But after his interruption, how could Xiang Wuqing continue? He also wanted to know where he went wrong, so he put on a humble posture and respectfully said, "I don't know if I said anything wrong? I hope the young master can give some guidance."
