To be honest, up until now, Li Chang’an had always been wary of Tang Hao — this unpredictable variable. That’s why he had deliberately hidden his strength from the very beginning.
But he knew deep down: if a Title Douluo had his eyes on Shrek Academy, then it was only a matter of ti before he himself was noticed. Exposure was inevitable!
So he had already considered the worst-case scenario — What if Tang Hao found out about ? What should I do then?
After thinking it over countless tis, he had co to one conclusion: kill Tang Hao.
Not even Flender knew that a Title Douluo had been keeping a constant eye on Shrek Academy. As for Tang San, he didn’t even know his father’s whereabouts.
In other words, if Tang Hao disappeared, no one would know for a while.
Whether for the sake of Spirit Hall’s future or for his own current situation, Tang Hao had to die. Otherwise, everything he had done so far would have been for nothing.
But the biggest question remained: could Li Chang’an actually kill Tang Hao? That was a huge unknown!
Even though he wasn’t more than fifty percent confident... the situation had co to this. He would give it everything he had. And once Tang Hao died, he was confident he could at least keep himself safe for a while afterward.
---
The purple glow of the Pangu Axe clashed head-on with the enormous Clear Sky Hamr, the shockwaves of their collision even distorting the surrounding space. However, Li Chang’an’s martial soul was the Pangu Axe — a force that could suppress even the Clear Sky Hamr. So in this fierce confrontation, neither side gained the upper hand.
Still, Tang Hao’s overwhelming, ferocious strikes forced Li Chang’an back several steps. Yet at the sa ti, his Clear Sky Hamr was also forced to retreat.
Suspended in midair, Tang Hao’s expression turned grave as he stared at Li Chang’an. He had beco fully alert. This was the first ti his martial soul had ever been suppressed, and to such a degree no less. He had made up his mind: he would go all out to eliminate Li Chang’an. A youth with talent like this could not be allowed to grow.
anwhile, Li Chang’an simply shook his head in silence. Even with his terrifying soul rings and the advantage of martial soul suppression, Tang Hao was still... Tang Hao. The gap between them remained enormous.
But was Li Chang’an just so ordinary person?
Suddenly, he began madly consuming high-grade Soul Power Fruits — the kind of resources he had earned while showing off in front of the gods at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He had been saving up all those points, and now it was ti to spend them.
With all the points combined, breaking through to Level 70 was entirely within reach!
Though just barely.
After reaching Spirit Sage, he’d only have three points left — proof that the soul power needed to go beyond Spirit Sage wasn’t sothing that could be satisfied with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of points.
But this was enough. Even without a seventh soul ring, reaching Level 70 ant he could activate his Martial Soul Avatar, which would increase his odds of victory by 20%!
As he devoured fruit after fruit, Tang Hao didn’t stand idle either — hamrs rained down upon him. But with the Donghuang Bell protecting his body, Li Chang’an had nothing to fear in the short term.
"Y-You... You’ve reached Spirit Sage? That’s impossible! You were just a Spirit King! What the hell are those fruits?!" Tang Hao’s voice trembled with disbelief. He had never even heard of such miraculous items. But the results were undeniable — their benefits massive.
Li Chang’an didn’t even respond. This was his deepest secret — why would he reveal it?
But it was true: his aura had beco frightening. After breaking through to Spirit Sage, a Spirit master’s strength and soul power would undergo a qualitative leap. Whether his foundation was stable or not was no longer a concern. He was now a Spirit Sage — albeit one without a seventh soul ring.
"Tang Hao, take this!"
As his words fell, Li Chang’an was bathed in blinding purple light. The Pangu Axe in his hand swelled a hundredfold, and his figure completely vanished from sight!
The Pangu Axe now looked like a divine weapon with its own soul, capable of cleaving heaven and earth. This... was his Martial Soul Avatar!
Not to be outdone, the Clear Sky Hamr expanded as well, growing to match the Pangu Axe in size. Tang Hao’s aura surged higher and higher — terrifying as ever. He was going all-out, but he had never feared Li Chang’an.
As the Clear Sky Hamr swept through the air, its strength reached an unfathomable peak. It even forced back the Pangu Axe several tis!
But it wasn’t that the Pangu Axe was weaker — it was Li Chang’an’s soul power that was insufficient, unable to fully unleash the axe’s might.
And Li Chang’an recognized the technique Tang Hao was using — the fad Great Suru Hamr of the Clear Sky School!
The Great Suru Hamr condensed all soul rings into one unified force, channeling it into the hamr to unleash the purest form of power and destruction — exponentially increasing one’s strength and forcibly shattering any limitations. It allowed the user to surpass the boundaries of their own soul power and exert a strength far beyond their level.
This was the epito of the "strength-over-everything" philosophy. No matter how many soul skills or techniques one had, none could withstand the raw might of the Great Suru Hamr. In theory, its power was infinite.
But Li Chang’an rembered one detail.
In that ancient text he’d found, it was recorded that the origin of this technique — the Great Suru Hamr — actually ca from an even older battle art: Critical Triple Axe Strike.
"In that case, let show you my Critical Triple Axe Strike!"
Li Chang’an gave up brute-force clashing and unleashed his trump card — Critical Triple Axe Strike!
With three successive swings, the Pangu Axe’s power grew to an absolutely terrifying degree. A faint white glow began to erge from the hundred-ter-long axe blade, and even the surrounding space beca sluggish.
Boom!
Boom!
BOOM!
This ti, Li Chang’an’s Pangu Axe didn’t just block the Clear Sky Hamr — it overpowered it. With each strike stacking on the last, the Pangu Axe shattered Tang Hao’s montum and even forced him backward in terms of raw strength!
The continent’s number one strength-type Spirit master, the legendary prodigy Clear Sky Douluo, was being crushed in a head-on power clash by a Spirit Sage!
In the repeated collisions, faint marks even began appearing on the Clear Sky Hamr — evidence of the Pangu Axe’s devastating impact.
And their clash had already transford the landscape for 5 kilotres around them into a high-pressure zone. Wild beasts fled in panic, unable to withstand the pressure.
Just as Tang Hao prepared to pour everything into the next Great Suru swing, Li Chang’an’s eyes suddenly sparkled with mischief.
[Whoever You Stare at Will Shit Themselves skill, activated]
"Grrrgghhh..."
Tang Hao’s gut churned uncomfortably, and although he was a Title Douluo, even he had to divert so soul power to suppress the sudden, urgent discomfort. But he continued stacking the Great Suru Hamr, determined to slay Li Chang’an no matter the cost!
However — when thirty seconds had passed...
Li Chang’an’s attack power doubled again, and the Critical Triple Axe Strike went into overdrive!
As for Tang Hao...
He cracked.
"PFFT!!"
Li Chang’an smirked.
"That was my second trump card!"
