Douluo Continent: Protect Our Spirit Hall

Chapter 766 Following Shrek's Path, Leaving Shrek with No Way Out

"Haotian's true form?!"

Seeing the suddenly appearing giant Haotian Hammer, many spectators were deeply moved, their eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

Even Pope Bibi Dong and Holy Son Ye Qifeng couldn't help but glance at it, but that was all, since the Martial Soul True Body was all too familiar to them.

In Douluo Continent, Martial Soul True Forms can be roughly divided into two types based on the type of Martial Soul: Weapon Soul True Form and Beast Soul True Form.

The True Form of Weapon Soul and the True Form of Beast Soul are similar in that they both transform into a true form based on one's own Martial Soul, but the True Form of Weapon Soul is more powerful.

Because the true form of the weapon spirit has a most terrifying ability.

That is, by consuming soul power, that is, spiritual power, the user's own soul can be fused with the weapon's spirit, greatly enhancing the power of the weapon's true form.

It can also break with convention, allowing Soul Masters to unleash their true form of the weapon spirit before their strength reaches the level of a Soul Saint at level seventy.

It's just that the conditions for performing it are rather demanding.

Tang San was able to successfully unleash the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer's weapon spirit because he possessed the necessary conditions.

Soul power can be borrowed from teammates through the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, as for soul power...

As a reincarnated person who transmigrated from another world, Tang San has lived two lives, so his soul power cannot be viewed in the usual way.

Even though his soul is not yet stable enough with his current strength, it is already sufficient to form the weapon spirit body for wielding the Clear Sky Hammer.

Of course, this is not without its drawbacks.

For example, it cannot be used continuously in a short period of time.

After all, the true form of a weapon spirit consumes soul power. If Tang San were to use such a skill twice in a short period of time, it would almost certainly cause severe damage to his soul.

In mild cases, it can cause memory loss and dullness; in severe cases, it can lead to complete intellectual disability.

Therefore, the true form of the weapon spirit must never be used continuously, and the same applies to the seven-in-one fusion technique.

This is one of the reasons why the Shrek Seven Devils have kept this trump card hidden until now.

Of course, their good luck also played a part. In the finals, they faced weak teams that couldn't bring out their full potential.

…………

Tang San had no idea how the audience was reacting, or rather, he didn't have the energy to care what others thought.

At this moment, the Clear Sky Hammer held in Tang San's hand was still undergoing changes.

The originally black hammer body had completely turned into a brilliant dark gold, but the hammer body was going against the grain and began to shrink rapidly until the handle was about 1.5 meters long and the hammer head was as big as a bucket, at which point the shrinking stopped.

At this moment, Tang San himself was also covered with a layer of dark golden light, and the aura released by him and the Clear Sky Hammer were no longer indistinguishable.

Tang San raised his hammer and pointed, and a dark golden light instantly magnified in front of him, transforming into an infinitely enlarged Haotian Hammer shadow.

Who would have thought that in the loser's bracket final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, a weapon spirit true form, which is rare even in the soul master world, would appear.

Moreover, the weapon spirit that was activated was the Clear Sky Hammer, which is known as the number one weapon spirit on the continent.

Only Tang San himself knew the true extent of his strength.

The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, while not as powerful as a true Martial Soul Fusion Technique, can connect the power of everyone. Therefore, concentrating all the power into one point for a burst is the best choice.

At this moment, Tang San was the focus of this concentrated outburst.

With the amplification from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the support of his companions' soul power, Tang San could clearly feel that his accumulated soul power had reached over level seventy.

Even though Tang San himself only had the strength of a level 44 Soul Master, when his soul power was amplified to level 70 or above by the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, he already possessed the prerequisites to unleash his Martial Soul True Body.

Although it was a bit of a stretch, it was enough.

A tremendous power continuously erupted from Tang San himself, forming a strange cycle with the Clear Sky Hammer, as if that power was about to burst out of his body.

And this is Haotian's true form!

The instant the Clear Sky True Form was fully unleashed, Tang San abruptly raised his head, purple light shooting from his eyes as he stared directly at the seven members of the Spirit Hall's Second Team opposite him:

"Now that Haotian's true form is here, how will you deal with it?"

The terrifying power emanating from Haotian's true form made Tang San feel stronger than ever before, filling him with confidence. He was confident that he would not be at a disadvantage even if he faced a Soul Saint of level 70 or above head-on.

In contrast, the Spirit Hall's second team, despite their individual strength, are ultimately just a few minor level 50 Soul Kings and high-level Soul Masters. How could they possibly contend with his level 70 Soul Saint, Haotian True Body?

In this battle, the Shrek Seven Devils team will surely win!

Thinking of this, Tang San became even more smug, feeling a sense of exhilaration that his great revenge was about to be fulfilled. Even his gaze toward the Spirit Hall's Second Team began to show some contempt.

But he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

The Spirit Hall's Second Team is capable of easily defeating the Star Luo Royal Academy Team and the Fire-Water-Wind Team, two strong teams. How could they possibly lack the ability to deal with them?

Facing Tang San's aggressive gaze and feeling the terrifying power emanating from the dark golden Haotian True Body phantom, the Spirit Hall's Second Team, led by Raven, remained calm and fearless.

"How dare you speak so arrogantly, merely a mere manifestation of Haotian?"

Riven chuckled, casually waving her hand, and the massive runic greatsword appeared in her grasp. She then slammed it into the ground, shouting spiritedly to her teammates:

"Sisters, let them experience our true strength."

"It's just a seven-in-one fusion technique, as if anyone can't do it."

The Spirit Hall's second team naturally also possesses the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique.

With Ye Qifeng's help, who is practically a cheat code, they can perform not only the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, but also the true Martial Soul Fusion Technique, whether they need to or not.

At this moment, the other six girls of the Spirit Hall's second team—Feng Xian, Ye Lan, Jin Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, and Xiao Mingyue—all wore faint smiles.

"clear!"

Upon hearing the eldest sister's command, the six girls responded in unison.

As soon as the words were spoken, the formation of the Spirit Hall's second team immediately changed, transforming from a randomly positioned horizontal row into a strict vertical column.

Standing at the very front was none other than Raven, the team's undisputed leader.

Following closely behind Raven was her second sister, Feng Xian, whose strength was second only to hers. Next were her third sister, Ye Lan, her fourth sister, Jin Yue'er, and her seventh sister, Xiao Mingyue.

Standing at the very back were the fifth sister, Zhu Zhuqing, and the sixth sister, Bai Chenxiang.

Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang have not yet advanced to the Soul King realm, so their soul power endurance is weaker than that of their five sisters.

Therefore, they were placed at the very end of the line, with Xiao Mingyue, the support-type Soul Master with the strongest fusion ability, taking on the task of fusing the soul power of the two.

Of course, this is also for safety reasons.

Unlike the Shrek Seven Devils, who needed to spin around to gather their soul power in advance, the Spirit Hall's Second Team did not need this prior preparation when performing the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique.

This step was completed during the formation change.

As if they were of one mind, the seven girls, through a strange connection, instantly condensed their released soul power into a single rope.

Amidst the flashing of soul light, Bai Chenxiang, located at the very end of the column, took the lead in making her move.

Accompanied by a unique bird's cry, a golden Peng bird martial spirit emerged from behind Bai Chenxiang.

Suddenly, she hugged Zhu Zhuqing from behind, releasing her golden soul power with a hint of purple light, which surged wildly into Zhu Zhuqing's body.

Stimulated by this immense soul power, Zhu Zhuqing naturally raised her arms and placed them on Xiao Mingyue in front of her, using her body as a bridge or passage to transfer the soul power transmitted from Bai Chenxiang to Xiao Mingyue.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing's purplish-black soul power surged out and poured into Xiao Mingyue's body.

Xiao Mingyue's face was full of seriousness, but she accepted all of their soul power without hesitation. Then, all five soul rings on her body lit up at the same time.

Fusion Ring Secret Technique, activated!

The five spirit rings merged into one almost instantly, transforming into a larger spirit ring.

A dazzling and solid colored halo burst forth from the teddy bear that Xiao Mingyue was holding, shooting directly into Jin Yue'er's body in front of her.

Then, it was transmitted through Jin Yue'er's body into Ye Lan's body, and then from Ye Lan to Feng Xian in front, and finally landed on Rui Wen, who was at the very front of the column.

Each time it is passed on, the colorful halo gains another color and becomes more dazzling and solid.

When it finally reached Raven, it transformed into a seven-colored beam of light, almost completely coloring her and instantly making her the center of attention on the field.

But what was even more surprising was the immense pressure emanating from Raven, and the enormous cyan sword phantom that enveloped her, seemingly capable of piercing the sky.

This was actually a true form of a weapon spirit.

The massive cyan sword phantom was adorned with countless mysterious patterns, runes drawn by the power of rules, exactly the same as the rune-inscribed greatsword that Riven held in her hands.

Yes, this is indeed her true martial spirit form, the true form of the Exile Blade.

The aura and pressure emanating from the cyan giant sword phantom, exceeding the level of a Soul Saint of level 70, already explained everything.

When they saw that the Spirit Hall's second team also possessed the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and displayed the same Spirit Soul True Form as the Shrek Seven Devils team, they were shocked.

The audience members present couldn't help but express their awe and excitement.

But some people are different.

For example, the Shrek Seven Devils were all dumbfounded at this moment.

Tang San's emotions fluctuated the most, and the confidence and pride he had just shown were now frozen on his face.

He seemed to be questioning the meaning of life, and with an incredulous expression, he began to roar at the Spirit Hall's second team opposite him:

"A seven-in-one fusion technique? And a weapon spirit true form?"

"No, impossible. The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique is clearly an exclusive skill of our Shrek Seven Devils, personally researched and crafted by the Grandmaster. The True Form of the Weapon Spirit can only be condensed in advance by a top-tier weapon spirit like the Clear Sky Hammer."

"How come you guys know how to do that too?"

However, faced with Tang San's seemingly irrational questioning, Raven simply rolled her eyes in response:

"Nothing is impossible. Just because you can do it doesn't mean we can't. And also..."

As she spoke, Raven paused deliberately, giving Tang San a look as if he were a clown, before smiling contemptuously and continuing:

"The Seven-in-One Fusion Technique is not a skill exclusive to your Shrek Seven Devils, nor was it invented by that so-called Master Yu you mentioned."

"To be honest, Canghui Academy is the true creator. You've only made some minor improvements on their foundation. How can that be considered your exclusive creation?"

"As for what you said, it is true that only top-tier weapon spirits like the Clear Sky Hammer can condense their true forms in advance."

"However, the Clear Sky Hammer isn't the only top-tier martial soul in this world. My own martial soul, the Exile Blade, happens to be a top-tier martial soul as well."

After Raven finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face.

They want to follow the path of the Shrek Seven Devils and leave them with nowhere to go.

Using a seven-in-one fusion technique against a seven-in-one fusion technique, or a weapon spirit true form against a weapon spirit true form, isn't that quite interesting?

Raven's smile was faint, but full of mockery. In Tang San's eyes, it caused his pupils to contract sharply, and he felt a deep sense of apprehension.

Of course, this sense of apprehension stemmed more from Raven's words and the cyan giant sword phantom that could rival him and even subtly suppress Haotian's true form.

However, what Tang San didn't know was...

Raven's Exile Blade martial soul is not just a top-tier martial soul as she claims, but a super existence that surpasses even the top-tier, truly a super martial soul.

The weapon spirit true form released by such a martial spirit will be much stronger than his Haotian true form, even under the same conditions.

Moreover, the seven girls in the Spirit Hall's second team were all far more powerful than the Shrek Seven Devils.

Both involve the combined soul power of seven people and are enhanced by the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique.

In comparison, Raven's weapon spirit true form is naturally far stronger than Tang San's Haotian true form.

The moment the true form of the Exile Blade appeared, it immediately exerted tremendous pressure on Tang San, causing him to feel his breathing become sluggish and his mind to become disordered.

However, when releasing one's Martial Soul True Form ahead of time beyond one's own cultivation level, the most taboo thing is to lose one's composure.

An unstable mind can lead to a disordered soul, affecting its fusion with the Martial Soul True Body and the control over the Martial Soul True Body.

This is the situation Tang San is currently facing.

With his mind in disarray, the Haotian True Body, which had only recently taken shape, began to tremble violently, revealing countless tiny cracks, showing a tendency to collapse and disintegrate, which greatly alarmed Tang San.

If this situation is not controlled, Haotian's true form will collapse on its own in no time.

Tang San himself will suffer a severe backlash, and his fate will likely be extremely tragic. (End of Chapter)
