Seeing the chaotic state of the battlefield, Tang San immediately called out,
"Fatty, can you still hold on?"
"No problem. Right now, I feel better than ever. Shui Bing'er's spirit skills can't seem to stop my evil fire!"
Under the raging blaze, Ma Hongjun's entire body burned uncontrollably. Holes began appearing in his clothes, spreading rapidly.
The sight made the young women of Skywater Academy, along with many female spectators, wrinkle their noses in disgust.
"This… this is revolting."
"If he were handsome, maybe I could tolerate his clothes burning off. But that Fire Phoenix spirit master is both ugly and fat. Watching his outfit disintegrate…"
Some couldn't even finish their sentence before gagging and vomiting.
Even Shui Bing'er and her teammates wore looks of deep disdain.
"Sis, let's finish this quickly before that flaming fatty strips completely and disgusts us all."
"Agreed."
But before Shui Bing'er could move, the entire frozen stage suddenly collapsed. From the cracks of the ruined arena, black-purple flames erupted, spreading everywhere. In moments, the entire platform was engulfed in evil fire, forcing both Shrek and Skywater to tighten their formations and fend off stray waves of flame.
"Oscar! Quickly, give Fatty a detox sausage. We need to suppress his evil fire. Otherwise, we can't keep Skywater in check!"
Tang San was frustrated. Their well-planned strategy had been completely disrupted by Ma Hongjun's outburst. If the fire had been controllable, it could've turned the tide in their favor. But the problem was, Fatty couldn't control it at all—the fire spread wildly, harming allies as much as enemies. If not for Tang San's first spirit skill constantly dousing stray flames, Shrek would have already been burned off the stage.
Yet Ma Hongjun himself was unaffected, his face twisted with frenzy, laughter echoing with a sinister edge.
"Skywater beauties! Your young master will take *good* care of you today!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Phoenix Wing Ascension!"
Black-red wings burst from his back, lifting him into the air.
"First Spirit Skill: Phoenix Fireline!"
But before his scorching fireline could land, Shui Bing'er's first spirit skill had already raised an ice wall around her team. She then unleashed her second spirit skill, wings of ice unfurling as armor formed across her body.
Taking flight, she countered instantly with her third skill.
"Third Spirit Skill: Repelling Ice Ring!"
An explosion of freezing white energy radiated outward. The collision of ice and fire triggered a massive shockwave. But Ma Hongjun, only rank 35 despite his flames being boosted by evil fire, was no match for Shui Bing'er's ultimate ice.
The icy blast crushed him from the sky, slamming him into the ground. He hit hard, unconscious. His last scraps of clothing burned away in the flames, leaving him stark naked before the entire arena. Gasps and retching sounds filled the stands.
"Fatty—!"
Shrek's six remaining fighters roared in rage as they watched Ma Hongjun fall. Fury burned in their eyes as they turned on Skywater Academy.
"Second Spirit Skill: Parasite!"
"Third Spirit Skill: Teleport!"
"Third Spirit Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
With Tang San coordinating, Shrek's fighters launched their counterattack, trying to use the lingering evil fire to their advantage.
But Shui Bing'er gave them no chance.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Icefeather Barrage!"
This was the ultimate move she'd gained from a 9,500-year Extreme Ice Falcon. Her martial spirit's evolution added piercing freeze effects to all her techniques.
The wings of the Mystic Frost Ice Phoenix released wave after wave of crystalline arrows. The frozen barrage rained down, blanketing half the arena.
Tang San's eyes narrowed. There was no way to dodge.
"Fourth Spirit Skill: Blue Silver Prison!"
Dark red Blue Silver Grass erupted from beneath their feet, forming six protective cages. Tang San's own barrier was even thicker thanks to the split-focus control technique he'd trained under Ning Rongrong's guidance.
But even his thousand-year Blue Silver Prison couldn't fully withstand Shui Bing'er's ice storm. One after another, the cages shattered.
Oscar and Jiang Zhu were the first to be blown off the stage. Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Tai Long endured the onslaught but were clearly at their limits. As the ice barrage ended, Shui Yue'er and Qiu Ruoshui pressed in, finishing them off with ruthless strikes. Xiao Wu, hit in the stomach, collapsed unconscious.
Tang San's eyes widened in fury as he watched his teammates fall, especially Xiao Wu, gravely injured. Surrounded by Skywater's seven, his gaze turned sharp, filled with killing intent.
"If Blue Silver Grass won't work against you… then I'll use my other spirit."
In his left palm, a hammer appeared—wreathed in violent blue lightning arcs. It expanded instantly into a massive weapon gripped tightly in his hand.
"What!? The Clear Sky Hammer!"
In the VIP stands, Emperor Xue Ye and Salas jolted to their feet in shock.
"Your Majesty, that is indeed the Clear Sky Hammer. And that boy, Tang San… he's the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo!"
Ning Fengzhi's calm words confirmed it all.
"With Blue Silver Grass as his first spirit and now the Clear Sky Hammer revealed… Tang San is a twin-spirit master. He's someone our Heaven Dou Empire cannot afford to ignore."
For Emperor Xue Ye, this was like witnessing a new dawn for his empire. A twin-spirit genius, inheritor of the Clear Sky Clan's might—if they could win his allegiance, Tang San's future achievements would also become Heaven Dou's glory.
