Chapter 129: Ye Wen's Next Target, Destroying Haotian Sect
This was Tang San's external soul bone, the Eight Spider Spears!
In this life, although the trajectory had changed somewhat, Tang San still obtained it.
"Ahhh~!!" After releasing the Eight Spider Spears, Tang San's attributes were enhanced in every way, and he frantically used the Eight Spider Spears to stab at Ye Wen.
Ye Wen continued his relentless use of the Chaotic Wind Hammer, twenty-one strikes, twenty-two strikes!
Twenty-three strikes!
With each strike, one of Tang San's Eight Spider Spears was shattered.
After eight strikes, as the chain of blows reached twenty-eight, all of Tang San's Eight Spider Spears were broken and shattered.
"Ahhh~!" Tang San screamed in immense pain.
The external soul bone was like a part of his own body, merging with it. So when the Eight Spider Spears were broken, the pain was like having his own arm shattered. The agony was excruciating.
But despite the pain, Tang San felt exhilarated because the breaking of the Eight Spider Spears was actually part of his plan.
The Chaotic Wind Hammer was just one of his tactics, but Tang San's real trump card for defeating Ye Wen was Tang Sect's hidden weapons technique, ranked tenth, the Bat Wing Reincarnation!
"Twenty-ninth strike!"
Wham! Boom!
Ye Wen slammed his hammer hard into Tang San's face. Tang San screamed again as his body flew backwards and slammed several times onto the ground before finally stopping.
But the power of this strike wasn't the force of the twenty-ninth strike.
"Hmm? Has it reached the limit?" At that moment, Ye Wen noticed that the power of his hammer strikes was uncontrollably dispersing. This indicated that he had reached his current limit, which was twenty-nine strikes.
But that was more than enough to make Tang San feel the immense power of Ye Wen. In just one battle, Ye Wen had mastered the twenty-nine strikes? If he trained a little longer, would Ye Wen reach eighty-one strikes?
However, Tang San had no time to fear Ye Wen's talent. Taking advantage of this brief moment, he quickly threw out the sixteen shattered pieces of the Eight Spider Spears that he had secretly collected.
"Ye Wen! Die!!"
"Bat Wing Reincarnation!!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Sixteen pieces of the Eight Spider Spears shot toward Ye Wen. Tang San sighed in relief and felt a surge of excitement. He had been planning for this moment for a long time!
"Bat Wing Reincarnation, Tang Sect's hidden weapon technique ranked tenth, can make the thrown weapons travel along unique trajectories. The unpredictability of their launch and the sharpness of their angles make it impossible for normal people to dodge!"
"No one can dodge Bat Wing Reincarnation! No one!!"
"Ye Wen! You're dead!"
"Victory is mine, Tang San's!!" Tang San had never been this confident before. Ye Wen's strength was indeed overwhelming, but his speed wasn't particularly outstanding. Tang San didn't believe Ye Wen could dodge this!
"Bat Wing Reincarnation? Heh, your technique is indeed hard to dodge, but what about defense?" Ye Wen laughed.
At that moment, Ye Wen's hundred-thousand-year soul ring appeared beneath his feet, its blinding light flashing and temporarily blinding Tang San. He froze, panic written across his face: "What... what is he doing?!"
"Fifth soul skill, Deep Sea Demon Whale Shield!"
A massive soul power body of a demon whale appeared, forming a round shield that completely enveloped Ye Wen's body, protecting him.
Clink clink clink!
The incoming Eight Spider Spears' pieces all collided with the shield and fell to the ground, leaving Ye Wen completely unharmed.
"Defense-type soul skill! A defense-type soul skill! Why... why would someone with an attack-based martial soul have a defense-type soul skill? In the end, I miscalculated."
Tang San's legs gave way, and in despair, he collapsed to the ground. His strong sense of pride was crushed again, and his gaze became dull.
"You still don't know? I'm a balanced system Soul Master," Ye Wen's voice rang out as he approached the disheveled Tang San, hammer in hand.
He not only had a defense-type soul skill but also control-type soul skills, though he had yet to reveal them.
"Also, Bat Wing Reincarnation can't harm me, even if your Eight Spider Spears pieces hit me."
Tang San refused to believe it and stubbornly said, "My Eight Spider Spears are made from the venomous Spider-type soul beasts, the Man-faced Demon Spider. The poison on them is a complex mixture of toxins, and only I can cure it! If they hit you, not only will you be harmed!"
"Heh, then think what you will," Ye Wen smiled and shook his head. He didn't bother explaining further. Having absorbed the Eight-pointed Xuan Ice Grass and the Fierce Fire Apricot Blossom, his body was already immune to all poisons. How could such poison threaten him?
Even if Ye Wen took a piece of the Eight Spider Spears and scratched himself with it, he wouldn't be poisoned.
But he didn't say that aloud—Tang San's reliance on poisons and hidden weapons was his last resort. If Ye Wen told him this would have no effect on him, Tang San would probably collapse completely.
At that point, Tang San's despair would be absolute, and he would likely go to Sea God Island, where even the Sea God wouldn't take him seriously. That would be ridiculous.
"Now, come take your beating."
Ye Wen instantly charged, hammering straight into Tang San's leg.
"Ahhh!"
Boom! Boom boom!
The next part was pure beatdown. Ye Wen relentlessly hammered Tang San, and his miserable screams filled the air.
Tang San, terrified, desperately looked toward the referee, shouting, "I surrender! I surrender!!"
"Tang San has conceded, please ask Beast Academy's Ye Wen to stop the fight."
"Alright, I suppose you surrendered quickly enough."
Ye Wen shrugged indifferently, seeing the referee's signal. He retracted his power and stopped the assault. After all, this was a match, and continuing would break the rules.
"Match concluded, Beast Academy wins!!"
"Little San!!"
"Tang San!!"
Yu Xiaogang and the others rushed to the arena and carried the battered Tang San off the stage.
In the distance, hidden from view, Tang Hao watched with a bitter expression, his eyes bloodshot as he gritted his teeth. But he also feared the powerful figures behind Ye Wen and couldn't bring himself to appear, letting out a heavy sigh: "Little San, you shouldn't have provoked him like that!"
After beating Tang San, Ye Wen had gradually lost interest in continuing to assault him. It felt somewhat pointless now.
He suddenly felt that beating Tang San was just... meh.
From now on, after eliminating Haotian Sect and Tang Hao, there would be no more opportunities for Tang San to continue learning the two great techniques of Haotian Sect—the Nine Absolute Shocks and the Great Sumeru Hammer, along with the explosive ring and other profound techniques.
The fate duel would have already been decided.
At that time, Tang San would no longer be a threat, and when he reached the Ninth Trial at Sea God Island, his strength would be inadequate, making it easy to kill him.
So, after the Soul Master Tournament, Ye Wen would consider destroying Haotian Sect.
"Now, please welcome the next pair of academies to the stage."
Ye Wen returned to his seat in Beast Academy. Their battle with Shrek Academy was over, but the tournament continued.
In the following matches, the remaining five major elemental academies remained strong.
Especially this year's Tianshui Academy, which had been particularly fierce.
Because of how badly Shrek Academy and Beast Academy had been defeated by Ye Wen, their performance in the following matches had been poor, with consecutive losses to Thunder, Divine Wind, and Tianshui.
