Chapter 157 Tang Hao Appears
With the referee announcing the victory of Team Tiandou II, Team Tiandou II ultimately won the championship of this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Yu Xiaogang quickly walked onto the arena and helped Tang San, who had fallen to the ground. However, Tang San was clearly exhausted of his soul power and could even be said to be seriously injured.
While examining Tang San's body, Yu Xiaogang seemed somewhat puzzled and asked Yang Podi, "Yang Podi, with your strength, you should have no problem even taking the Clear Sky Hammer's weapon spirit true form head-on. Why did you use the tactic you just used?"
Yang Podi simply shook his head: "What power can a weapon spirit without spirit rings possibly have? I used the same tactic just now simply to avoid trouble."
Yang Podi thought to himself: If I were to make a move and cripple one of the seven people, who knows what Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong would say? They might blame me for ignoring the rules and injuring someone, and directly declare me the loser, allowing Tian Dou Team to win. That would be a real mess.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi, who was in the spectator stands, summoned a huge Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The seven-colored light immediately poured into the members of the Heaven Dou Team. In just an instant, everyone's soul power and physical condition were greatly restored. He truly deserved to be called the number one support-type soul master on the continent.
But then something unusual happened. When the massive auxiliary soul power was injected into Xiao Wu, it actually had a rebound effect. A small silver grass flew out from Xiao Wu's body. Yang Podi, who was well-versed in pharmacology, immediately recognized it as the Silver Spirit Grass, a treasure for concealing one's aura. No wonder it could hide Xiao Wu's soul beast aura so well that it wouldn't be detected by a Title Douluo.
However, Yang Podi still found it a bit strange. Whether in the original story or now, when Xiao Wu received support from her teammate, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, why didn't the phenomenon of soul power rebound occur? It was Ning Fengzhi's support that caused this phenomenon.
At this moment, Xiao Wu also woke up after receiving assistance, but seemed to sense something was wrong, so she quickly put the Silver Spirit Grass back into her body.
But at this moment, all the titled Douluos in the entire square seemed to have a drastic change in expression, especially Pope Bibi Dong. The gloom of losing the championship was swept away, and she stared at Xiao Wu on the field, as if she was thinking about something.
Sword Douluo seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and quickly walked over to Ning Fengzhi's side, whispering a few words to him, which made Ning Fengzhi look at Xiao Wu with great curiosity.
Even her grandfather Yang Wudi and maternal grandfather Niu Gao showed a hint of longing for Xiao Wu. You should know that a 100,000-year soul bone is priceless, much more valuable than the three soul bones of the Soul Master Competition champion.
With the seven members of Team Tian Dou recovering, Tang San and his group finally followed Yu Xiaogang off the stage, leaving only Yang Podi on the stage.
A cardinal announced, "Please invite the representative of Team Tiandou II to come up on stage to receive the championship reward."
Yang Podi glanced back at his six teammates, then at his grandfather and maternal grandfather, before resolutely walking toward the podium.
Yang Podi walked slowly, and under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he arrived at the awards stage.
When Yang Podi arrived on the award stage, only Pope Bibi Dong was there. However, Bibi Dong looked even more beautiful and peerless at this moment, and her figure seemed to have become incredibly tall. She seemed to exude an invincible aura, and anyone would appear very small in front of her.
Bibi Dong seemed to have recovered and spoke authoritatively: "Congratulations to Team Two of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for winning the championship of this Soul Master Competition. These three soul bones are your reward, and you deserve them. I hope you will continue to work hard and be able to enter the Douluo Hall in the future."
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she held the wooden box containing the soul bone in both hands and handed it to Yang Podi.
Upon seeing this, Yang Podi quickly extended both hands and solemnly accepted the reward handed over by Bibi Dong.
A wave of greedy gazes seemed to emanate from everyone present as they looked at the wooden box in Yang Podi's hand. If they weren't in the Papal Palace, countless people would probably have come to fight over this wooden box.
Bibi Dong looked at Yang Podi, who was holding the wooden box in both hands, and said to him meaningfully, "Congratulations, Yang Podi. I wonder if you would be interested in joining our Spirit Hall? Our Spirit Hall will definitely give you the best training."
Yang Podi narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed directly to Bibi Dong, and then said with a serious expression, "Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope. I appreciate Your Holiness's kindness, but my Po clan is still weak. I plan to take my clan to Mount Almo to develop. I hope Your Holiness the Pope will understand."
Bibi Dong seemed to have known Yang Podi's answer all along, and simply said, "Almo Mountain is a good place. I hope you will lead the Po clan to rise soon."
Yang Podi bowed to Bibi Dong again, then returned to the Tian Dou Second Team with the wooden box. However, before anyone could speak, Yang Podi directly put the three soul bones into his soul tool: "We'll talk about it when we get back. Let's leave now."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi led all his team members to his grandfather Yang Wudi and maternal grandfather Niu Gao. Moreover, Yang Podi intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, which caused Xue Qinghe to smile slightly.
Just then, Bibi Dong's expression turned serious: "The Soul Master Competition is over. Spirit Hall, capture that girl for me."
Following Bibi Dong's gaze, everyone noticed Xiao Wu, especially Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from the Spirit Hall, who seemed eager to attack her.
Yu Xiaogang immediately stepped to the front of the line and angrily rebuked, "Your Holiness, what do you mean by that?"
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, on the other hand, seemed to understand something and seemed inclined to go up and help.
Bibi Dong glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, and coldly said, "Sect Master Ning, please have some self-respect. If you interfere with the important affairs of the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will become the enemy of the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi simply sighed softly and remained where he was, refusing to move.
Yu Xiaogang didn't understand what Bibi Dong and Ning Fengzhi were saying at all, but he managed to say, "I am also an elder of the Spirit Hall, and I have the right to know the truth."
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang's expression and seemed to feel a little reluctant, but in the end she still gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Wu of your Heaven Dou Team is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. The Spirit Hall needs to organize humans to fight against the soul beast race in order to maintain peace in human society. Anyone who dares to favor the soul beast race will be an enemy of the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, especially the Heaven Dou Team, and even Tang San looked at Xiao Wu with a face full of doubt.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, seemed stronger than ever before, and looked at Bibi Dong with a face full of resentment: "It was you who led people to kill my mother back then."
Bibi Dong coldly said, "It's only natural for human soul masters to kill soul beasts. If I'm not mistaken, you should be the one who escaped the net back then. I didn't expect you to dare to walk into the trap."
At this moment, Tang San seemed to understand something and stood directly in front of Xiao Wu: "Anyone who wants to harm Xiao Wu will have to step over my dead body."
The rest of the Heaven Dou Team seemed to look at each other, unsure of what to say. Their emotions didn't seem as strong as those of Shrek Academy in the original story, since none of them had accepted Tang San's immortal herbs.
Tailong and Bai Xiaofei quickly stood on either side of Tang San and said resolutely, "No one is allowed to harm our young master."
At this moment, Flander suddenly spoke up: "You are all our students. We old guys are still alive, how could we let you die?"
After saying this, Flander and Liu Erlong also came to Yu Xiaogang's side, and the three of them stood in front of the team members, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
Looking at the situation before her, especially seeing Yu Xiaogang's resolute face, Bibi Dong finally gritted her teeth and said, "Make your move."
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo's spirit rings flashed, and countless chrysanthemum petals flew towards everyone in the Heaven Dou Team like blades. Ghost Douluo, on the other hand, transformed into a ghostly figure and rushed towards the group of people in the Heaven Dou Team.
Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong exchanged glances, then walked together and simultaneously summoned their martial souls. Their martial souls seemed to be connected in some way, forming a golden triangle, and they roared, "Sun and Moon Shine, Golden Wheel Turns!"
Immediately afterwards, the three people's martial souls merged together, forming a huge golden dragon that looked extremely powerful and should be able to barely reach the level of a Title Douluo.
However, the three were ultimately weaker, especially Yu Xiaogang, who was only level 29, lacking both soul power and physical strength. Facing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, both true Title Douluos with soul power reaching level 95, the three quickly found themselves in a predicament.
What's even more troublesome is that Bibi Dong also summoned her own martial soul and soul rings. A huge Death Spider King appeared around Bibi Dong, displaying two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red soul rings. The red soul ring, in particular, put immense pressure on everyone present.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang and his two companions were about to be defeated, especially Bibi Dong's unfathomable strength, a voice suddenly came from the sky: "A chrysanthemum and a little devil, they actually dare to hurt my son."
Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared in the sky. The person was dressed in a tattered black robe and looked very decadent, but there seemed to be a strange strength and hatred in his eyes.
This person was none other than Tang Hao. Tang Hao summoned a huge Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and nine spirit rings appeared on his body at the same time. The spirit rings were two yellow, two purple, four black and one red. A shocking aura collided with Bibi Dong.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Hao emitted an extremely strong white light that enveloped the entire world. At the same time, Tang Hao's spirit rings flashed, and the Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew to a gigantic size, which was the true form of the weapon spirit of Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
A huge, blood-red figure formed in the sky, wielding a massive Haotian Hammer, seemingly about to smash it down on Bibi Dong. At the same time, a loud voice rang out: "Little San, watch closely, this is the true form of Haotian." Tang Hao's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, probably a response to what Yang Podi had said to Yu Xiaogang.
Bibi Dong and her group seemed to be making some unusual moves. Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo all used their Martial Soul True Forms, seemingly trying to block Tang Hao's earth-shattering hammer blow. However, Tang Hao's hammer blow seemed to be extremely powerful. With just one strike, the three members of the Spirit Hall seemed to have already fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Just then, four beams of light emanated from inside the Spirit Hall, and four figures flew rapidly toward Tang Hao, seemingly ready to receive his attack at any moment.
Tang Hao seemed to have become fierce as well, gripping his hammer with both hands and attacking again, even turning the entire world blood red.
Yang Podi was also stunned. Judging from Tang Hao's appearance, he was obviously injured, but the shocking blood red color was clearly the Killing God Domain. He did not expect that Tang Hao could use the Killing God Domain and the Haotian True Body of the Haotian Hammer at the same time, which seemed to make the power extremely strong.
Grandpa Yang Wudi and Grandpa Niu Gao, standing to the side, seemed a little reluctant to part, as if they were reminiscing about the scenes of fighting side by side in the past.
Yang Podi quickly grabbed the two of them and simultaneously channeled his soul power into them, reminding them to be mindful of their current stance.
With Tang Hao's all-out attack, and even at the last moment when his two yellow spirit rings exploded, the Clear Sky Hammer grew much larger. Moreover, Tang Hao's final hammer actually bypassed Bibi Dong and the other seven, and directly attacked the Papal Palace, seemingly intending to level the entire Papal Palace.
Upon seeing this, the seven members of the Spirit Hall unleashed their full spirit power to block the massive Clear Sky Hammer.
In that instant, Tang Hao swiftly flew towards the Heaven Dou Team, used his soul power to grab Tang San and Xiao Wu, and quickly left.
Before leaving, Tang Hao seemed to glance at Yang Wudi and Niu Gao intentionally or unintentionally. Yang Podi even felt that Bibi Dong seemed to have glanced at the two of them as well.
In the end, Tang Hao quickly left the Spirit Hall with Tang San and Xiao Wu, while Bibi Dong seemed very unwilling: "Tang Hao is indeed powerful. I didn't expect that after years of hard training, my power is still insufficient."
Immediately afterwards, Bibi Dong disregarded the crowd's turbulent emotions and ignored Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's request to pursue Tang Hao.
Seeing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer inwardly: They're all seasoned actors; the Spirit Hall missed this golden opportunity, and they'll likely suffer greatly in the future. But what did it have to do with him?
On the other hand, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe seemed to grit his teeth, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.
