Chapter 119: First Battle Against the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang Lie said in a deep voice, "Boy, although you have great talent, don't underestimate our Clear Sky Clan's number one weapon spirit."
"I'm just looking forward to seeing how Senior wields the Clear Sky Hammer."
Tang Lie looked at Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, "Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, is that what you two mean?"
They both said at the same time, "That's what we mean."
Niu Gao spoke for the first time, "Tang Lie, if you lose, our two clans will have nothing to do with you anymore. If you win, we will leave you to your own devices."
"Okay, you're so brave! Since you're pinning your hopes on a little kid, I'll grant you my promise."
Xiao Fei smiled, "Senior Tang Lie, since we're going to compete, why don't we sign a written agreement to save you some trouble later."
"We Haotian Sect members are committed to our word. How could we go back on our word? You underestimate me!"
At this moment, Dean Huo Tianchen stepped forward. "Since we have an agreement, there's nothing wrong with signing it. It's a good opportunity for me, along with the two clan leaders, Tai Tan and Bai He, to act as witnesses."
Dean Huo then took out a pen and paper and wrote four copies of their agreement, signing them personally.
Niu Gao and Yang Wudi signed their names without a word.
Tang Lie glanced at Huo Tianchen, then at Xiao Fei, then back at Yang Wudi and Niu Gao. "Very good, you're excellent!"
He signed all four copies. Tai Tan and Bai He exchanged a glance and signed their names as well.
Then, everyone descended upon the large arena in the center of the academy.
Tang Lie and Wang Xiaofei flew onto the stage simultaneously.
"Kid, would you like me to teach you a few moves? Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be crushed to death by the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Thank you for your concern, senior. Please make your move."
Tang Lie summoned a massive Clear Sky Hammer, and nine spirit rings instantly appeared on his body: two yellow, two purple, and five black, the perfect combination.
"Tang Lie of the Clear Sky Sect, martial soul: Clear Sky Hammer, title: Fiery Sun."
Xiao Fei didn't summon his martial soul or display his spirit rings. Instead, his entire body instantly transformed into a phoenix, transforming into a fiery phoenix.
"Wang Xiaofei of the Elemental Academy, martial soul: Fire Phoenix, title: Fire Phoenix."
Tang Lie narrowed his eyes and said, "Dragon transformation from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family! I can't believe you're so young and capable of achieving full-body beast transformation. You're quite capable."
"But you seem to have forgotten that the Clear Sky Sect is the world's foremost sect. A mere Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is nothing."
Tang Lie finished, then flew towards Xiao Fei with the Clear Sky Hammer and struck him. Xiao Fei responded with a claw.
The hammer and claw collided, sending Tang Lie back three steps, while Xiao Fei remained motionless.
Tang Lie instantly realized that, even with Xiao Fei's phoenix transformation, his physical prowess was no match for Xiao Fei's.
Tang Lie's third spirit ring flashed: "Third spirit skill, a critical strike." Tang Lie sprinted towards Xiao Fei, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand noticeably heavier and more powerful.
Xiao Fei dodged quickly, avoiding a direct confrontation. Instead, he flew to Tang Lie's left and grabbed him.
Unexpectedly, Tang Lie's reaction speed was incredibly fast, and his Clear Sky Hammer's directional control was superb, blocking Xiao Fei directly. Xiao Fei's grip tangled directly with the Clear Sky Hammer, forcing Tang Lie back.
Xiao Fei couldn't help but admire Tang Lie's incredible control: he could still wield the Clear Sky Hammer so flexibly in such a situation.
Without a word, Xiao Fei leaped forward again. This time, Dan Li didn't dodge: "Fourth spirit skill, impenetrable." He brought the Clear Sky Hammer directly in front of him, shielding Tang Lie's entire body. Xiao Fei grabbed the Clear Sky Hammer with one claw, and surprisingly, a very strong recoil force appeared. This time, Xiao Fei was directly knocked back, and Tang Lie also took a step back.
Then, Xiao Fei and Tang Lie attacked and defended each other, and neither side could do anything to the other.
An incense stick later, Tang Lie seemed a little annoyed. He'd been held back for so long by a child who hadn't even unleashed a single soul skill.
"Seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Avatar. Sixth soul skill, Martial Soul Clone." Tang Lie unleashed two soul skills in quick succession, and two massive Clear Sky Hammers instantly appeared in the sky, blazing with flames. They seemed to lock onto Xiao Fei's position.
Without a word, Xiao Fei's hands immediately sprouted five steel claws. These were his external soul bones, the Flame Lion King Claws. After years of refinement, Xiao Fei's two external soul bones were now 80,000 years old.
Xiao Fei grabbed the Clear Sky Hammer with one claw, instantly cracking it. Xiao Fei, using the recoil, flew away from the Clear Sky Hammer's range.
Tang Lie was also shocked. He hadn't expected Xiao Fei to possess such a powerful external soul bone, capable of even forcing back his own weapon soul true avatar.
The two exchanged a few more moves, and Xiao Fei felt Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammers growing heavier and more powerful.
Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?
Without a word, Xiao Fei, taking advantage of Tang Lie's attack, dodged behind him and clawed directly at his knee.
The Chaos Cloak Hammer technique relies on accumulated power, leveraging the opponent's force to strike back, and the calf is often the most crucial area for this technique.
Tang Lie, startled, swung his hammer to block Xiao Fei's attack, but his Chaos Cloak Hammer technique had already been broken.
Filled with rage, Tang Lie swung his hammer again at Xiao Fei, colliding with Xiao Fei's claws. A powerful vibration ripped through his claws, and they seemed to be slightly unstable after being struck.
Xiao Fei was deeply surprised. Could this be...?
Before Xiao Fei could even think, Tang Lie struck again. This one seemed even heavier, and the force actually penetrated the colliding claws and struck Xiao Fei's shoulder.
Xiao Fei instantly understood Tang Lie's intention, but he made no move to evade. Instead, he met Tang Lie's attack head-on, continuing his confrontation.
Time flew by, and the battle had already lasted nearly an hour. Xiao Fei hadn't employed any spirit abilities, instead relying on his phoenix transformation to engage Tang Lie head-on. Tang Lie, however, was clearly exhausted.
Everyone around him was puzzled, but Yang Wudi understood Xiao Fei's thoughts.
Three more hours had passed, and both men were showing signs of fatigue, Tang Lie especially so, clearly exhausted.
Xiao Fei bluntly asked, "Senior Tang Lie, would you like to continue?"
Tang Lie replied gravely, "Boy, you are one of the most physically powerful spirit masters I have ever met. Take my final blow."
"Ninth Spirit Ability: Hammer to Decide the Universe." Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew larger and heavier, striking Xiao Fei once again. Clearly, this attack was Tang Lie's most powerful and destructive yet.
Xiao Fei immediately activated his left leg spirit bone ability: Demonic Killer Whale Axe. A burst of white light, emanating from an ordinary axe, darted towards Tang Lie's Clear Sky Hammer, sending it careening out of his grasp. A massive wound appeared on Tang Lie's right hand. Xiao Fei was able to control his strength, otherwise Tang Lie's arm would have been severed.
"Senior Tang Lie, you lose!"
Tang Lie was clearly annoyed. "Boy, I lose. I know you held back in that last move. I, Tang Lie, keep my word. From now on, the Po Yi clan and the Yu Yi clan will have nothing to do with our Haotian Sect."
With that, Tang Lie signed the agreement again and left without looking back. Tai Tan and Bai He quickly followed.
Xiao Fei shook his head. "Though the Haotian Sect's people may have bad tempers, they're still brave enough to take responsibility for their actions. "
Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Dean Huo Tianchen each accepted a copy of the agreement, while Xiao Fei kept one for himself.
Yang Wudi thanked Xiao Fei, "Boy, thank you very much." Niu Gao also came over and patted Xiao Fei on the shoulder, expressing his gratitude.
Thus, the Po Yi clan and the Yu Yi clan no longer had any connection with the Haotian Sect.
That evening, both the Po and Yu clans held grand banquets to celebrate their members' future freedom, ensuring that no one would ever again claim that the two clans were affiliated with the Haotian Sect.
In his dorm, Xiao Fei recounted every detail of the day's battle.
The other deans of the Elemental Academy were completely bewildered.
