Chapter 81: Clear Sky Battle Formation is Terrifying? Yun Yuan is Even More Terrifying!
Hearing Tang Xiao's command, the other six members of the Clear Sky Sect team let out angry shouts one after another, releasing sharp and imposing auras from their bodies.
Immediately after, a pitch-black, gleaming giant hammer appeared in each of their hands, and all their soul rings were released.
At the end, Tang Xiao summoned his martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, lifting it onto his shoulder as his intent spread out, domineering and overwhelming.
After summoning his martial soul, Tang Xiao stood at the formation's core, while the other six took their respective positions.
The Clear Sky Hammers began to swing, resonating simultaneously with Tang Xiao at the center of the formation. Their soul power merged into a massive black formation that directly enveloped the entire Angel Arena.
Moments later, as the Clear Sky Battle Formation took shape, black radiance blotted out the sky, darkness covered the earth, and a gigantic phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in the air.
Formation patterns flowed like black magma, each one concealing tiny hammer shadows. They carried a tyrannical pressure capable of suppressing ten thousand souls, and the fluctuations of soul power were like mountains pressing down, enough to shatter the martial souls and soul power of weaker soul masters.
Seeing the Clear Sky Sect team unleash such a terrifying formation, the audience in the arena parted their lips slightly, praying for Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong.
"Your Highness, the Holy Son, you must win. I want to see the moment you and Her Highness the Saintess ascend the champion's throne."
This was the thought in most of the audience's hearts. They fervently wished for Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong to be the victors of this match.
But the preparations of the Clear Sky Sect this time were too thorough. The might of the Clear Sky Battle Formation was far too terrifying. Even the other two sect teams among the Upper Three Sects were far inferior to the current Clear Sky Sect team in terms of group battle strength.
At this moment, inside the Sky Water Academy lounge,
Shui Xue'er leaned against the window, gazing at the Clear Sky Battle Formation centered around Tang Xiao, and could not help but worry for Yun Yuan.
"Yun Yuan, since you defeated our Sky Water Academy team so easily back then, you must have a way to deal with the Clear Sky Battle Formation, right?"
After that battle with Yun Yuan, Shui Xue'er had been completely convinced of his strength and began to admire this high-spirited, peerless youth.
Like most of the audience, she also hoped that the one who would ascend the champion's throne was Yun Yuan. But in the arena, it was strength that determined everything. Only the strongest team could stand at the very peak.
At this moment, in the Angel Arena,
Bibi Dong looked at the Clear Sky Battle Formation being used by the opposing side. Its overwhelming might made her feel worried as well.
"Junior Brother, can you handle it?"
She looked at Yun Yuan in front of her and asked softly.
"Senior Sister, prepare the mist. Leave the rest to me."
Yun Yuan turned his head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips as he showed Bibi Dong a confident expression. The vigor in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong softly responded with an "Mm," her eyes narrowing slightly as her face revealed a look that said, "I believe in you."
Next, Bibi Dong summoned her martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, with three soul rings circling around her body.
"First Soul Skill: Deathly Poison Mist!"
As Bibi Dong's first soul ring lit up, waves of poisonous mist began to drift across the entire Angel Arena.
Facing Bibi Dong's first soul skill, Tang Xiao looked toward his younger brother, Tang Hao, who had the lowest level among the team.
"Second brother, be sure to use your soul power to protect your body. Do not let that poison mist enter your body and disrupt the formation."
Hearing this, Tang Hao's expression became more serious. He withdrew some of the soul power he had been channeling into the Clear Sky Battle Formation and used more to protect his body, preventing the Deathly Poison Mist from invading.
His soul power rank was close to Bibi Dong's. If he were careless, he could indeed fall into her trap, so he had to be extremely cautious.
After the Clear Sky Battle Formation had fully gathered momentum, Yun Yuan could clearly feel an invisible pressure squeezing around him.
"Yun Yuan, today you will be defeated."
"First, taste this hammer of mine, Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Shatter!"
As Tang Xiao's voice fell, the enormous phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer descended from the formation. The Shatter Technique—a mountain-shattering, explosive killing strike.
This was a strike that combined the strength of all seven members of the Clear Sky Sect. Even an ordinary peak Soul Emperor would not dare to take this hammer head-on.
Yet, facing this blow, Yun Yuan's eyes revealed deep confidence. He summoned his martial soul, the Atlas Spear, and for the first time, his soul rings appeared.
Yellow, purple, black, black. Such an extraordinary configuration stunned everyone. A ten-thousand-year third ring left them all wondering how Yun Yuan had achieved it.
In the next moment, Yun Yuan's first soul ring lit up, accompanied by his soft shout.
"First Soul Skill: Wind Thunder Flash!"
On Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear, the power of wind and lightning flowed continuously, boosting both the spear's attack speed and his own movement speed.
"Speed is power. If I'm fast enough, if my spear is fast enough, there's nothing it cannot pierce!"
Holding an incandescent long spear, Yun Yuan's spear intent soared to the heavens as he thrust toward the descending hammer phantom.
At the moment of collision, the shockwave from the clash between the Atlas Spear and the hammer phantom swept across the entire Angel Arena. Cracks spread across the arena floor, and smoke filled the battlefield.
When the smoke cleared, the crowd finally saw the situation within the Angel Arena. Yun Yuan stood proudly with his spear in hand, completely unharmed, with only the corners of his clothes slightly dirtied.
"Tang Xiao, your hammer finally has a bit of force, but it's still not enough. Again!"
At this moment, interest flickered in Yun Yuan's eyes. This week-long Soul Master Tournament had finally become less boring for him today.
The Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Battle Formation had given him a bit of pressure, but only a bit.
At the sound of Yun Yuan's shout, Tang Hao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gradually filling with anger.
"Yun Yuan, not enough force, is it? Then try something stronger and see if you can still be so arrogant."
"Clear Sky Combined Technique, Mountain-Crushing Hammer!"
With Tang Xiao's furious roar, the might of the Clear Sky Battle Formation rose to another level. In midair, an even larger phantom of the Clear Sky Hammer condensed once more.
This hammer was the most powerful attack of the Clear Sky Battle Formation. He refused to believe that Yun Yuan could remain so calm after this.
"Good timing!"
"Second Soul Skill: Endless War Spear!"
Looking at the even more terrifying hammer phantom descending from above, Yun Yuan became even more excited; the drowsiness in his heart was completely gone.
As his second soul ring lit up, the effect of his second soul skill once again acted upon his Atlas Spear. With the stacking of the first and second soul skills, the spear's power became even more terrifying.
And this time, the critical hit rate of his second soul skill was still three hundred percent!
Sensing this critical hit rate, Yun Yuan could not help but feel puzzled. Why was it that every time he fought members of the Clear Sky Sect, the critical hit rate of his second soul skill was always at its maximum?
Could it be that his Atlas Spear had a special affinity for the Clear Sky Hammer?
Shaking his head, casting aside the strange thought in his mind, Yun Yuan began to seriously face the Clear Sky Sect team before him.
"Break!"
Yun Yuan shouted as he stomped on the ground and shot into the air, instantly appearing beneath the massive hammer phantom, using his Atlas Spear to directly clash against it.
