Chapter 179: Ye Wen's Human Form vs Snake Spear Douluo
"For me, you, a Soul Saint, are no different from crushing an ant to stabbing a cat." Snake Spear Douluo smiled at the corner of his mouth, still full of arrogance.
"Foolish human!" Ye Wen shook his head, speechless at Snake Spear Douluo's arrogance. Although this was a common mindset and flaw of strong opponents facing weaker ones, underestimating someone without truly knowing their strength would only lead to one's own disadvantage.
"Second Soul Skill, Deep Sea Demon Hammer!"
Boom!
The next second, Ye Wen swung his hammer with full force toward Snake Spear Douluo.
"Heh! A mere Soul Saint dares to face me head-on." Snake Spear Douluo sneered, then released his martial soul, thrusting his spear straight at Ye Wen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two forces collided, and Ye Wen was pushed back several meters.
Snake Spear Douluo laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Deep Sea Demon Whale King, is this all the power your human form has?"
"Although my martial soul is extremely domineering, especially in terms of strength, and with spirit rings far beyond ordinary soul masters, it's still difficult to face a Title Douluo with a weapon martial soul in direct combat," Ye Wen analyzed. This hammer was just an experiment to test his current strength.
"Heh, first Soul Skill, Demon Whale Armor!"
Boom!
Ye Wen activated his enhancement skill and then charged forward aggressively.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two began a fierce battle, hammer against spear, clashing rapidly, battling intensely.
To his surprise, Ye Wen was actually able to fight Snake Spear Douluo in close combat, struggling slightly but not being completely overpowered!
This greatly surprised Snake Spear Douluo—he had not gained a clear advantage in direct close combat!
"Heh, whatever! This kind of battle will only quickly deplete our energy and spirit power. Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you won't last much longer." Snake Spear Douluo sneered, continuing to fight Ye Wen.
After all, the gap in spirit power was too large. Fighting in such intense close combat, even without using soul skills, every strike and attack was depleting both soul power and physical stamina.
And the spirit power of a Title Douluo far surpassed that of a Soul Saint. Ye Wen was willing to fight this way, but Snake Spear Douluo could easily wear him down over time!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Ha!"
"Ha!"
Boom! Boom!
Snake Spear Douluo continued attacking Ye Wen, his face filled with confidence, "Such high-intensity close combat—within three minutes, your condition will quickly deteriorate. At that point, you'll be finished! Heh."
"Snake Spear, you're truly foolish. Haven't you realized yet?" Ye Wen suddenly flashed a wicked smile.
"Realized what?" Snake Spear Douluo was confused.
"Every time I swing my hammer, there's invisible energy left in the air. These energies, combined with my attacks, are weaving into a big net. You should have noticed it if you paid closer attention," Ye Wen said while continuing to attack and defend.
"What!!!"
At Ye Wen's words, Snake Spear Douluo finally noticed—on the dueling platform, there were already twenty or more energy points of lightning attributes. These energy points were extremely hard to detect, but if one focused carefully, they could feel them.
At this moment, these lightning energy points had already formed a large net!
"Not good!" Snake Spear Douluo's face changed drastically as he tried to escape.
"Heh, only now do you notice? It's too late!"
"Take this, Snake Spear!"
"Thunder Hammer Technique!"
Zzzt! Zzzt!
As Ye Wen activated it, the invisible energy around him instantly materialized, forming multiple lightning spheres connected together into a massive net.
In that instant, the net formed a thunder shield and magnified the residual power.
All the power gathered into Ye Wen's body, and seeing the terrified look on Snake Spear Douluo's face, he sneered, "You liked to laugh, didn't you?"
"Now, try laughing again!"
"Fool! Get out of my way!!!"
Boom!
The terrifying force, combined with Ye Wen's hammer strike, shot like lightning, smashing into Snake Spear Douluo's body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Puff!
"Wooahhhh~!"
Snake Spear Douluo spat out blood as he screamed in agony, being slammed into the ground so hard that the hard surface cracked beneath him.
This was one of the three great hammer techniques researched by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King—Thunder Hammer Technique!
In close combat, each attack left invisible energy behind. The enemy could barely detect it, and when they did, it was almost too late.
Once the net was formed, unless one had teleportation or spatial skills, there was no way to avoid it!
If Snake Spear Douluo had not underestimated Ye Wen at the start and fought seriously, he might have noticed earlier and countered. After all, Ye Wen was only a Soul Saint and couldn't yet unleash the full power of the Thunder Hammer Technique!
Now, Snake Spear Douluo was severely injured.
"Elder Snake Spear… he… he's been injured by him."
"My god! How is this possible?!"
The crowd around was stunned, unable to believe it.
"Dammit!" Snake Spear Douluo struggled to get up, his face grim. "I didn't expect his human form to be this strong. I was careless."
"Snake Spear Douluo, where's that confident look you had earlier? How come you're only taking this seriously now?" Ye Wen mocked.
"You!" Snake Spear Douluo gritted his teeth, forcing down his anger, and spoke in a low voice, "I admit, I underestimated you, but do you really think you can defeat me like this?"
Snake Spear Douluo dared not be careless anymore and began fighting seriously.
"Third Soul Skill, Shadow Hunter Nine Strikes!"
"Golden Eagle Wings!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Wen immediately released his external soul bone and flapped his wings, flying into the air, avoiding the attack.
"Second Soul Skill, Rapid Light Movie!"
Zzzt! Zzzt!
Snake Spear Douluo's body moved like lightning, speeding toward the sky, extremely fast, then a spear was thrust forward!
Boom! Boom!
Ye Wen swung his hammer to block, but was knocked down.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Thunderous Explosive Kill!!"
Snake Spear Douluo was now fully serious and attacking ferociously.
"Interesting, now this is interesting!" Ye Wen was excited, his blood boiling. He looked up at the opponent flashing with domineering lightning in the sky. The next second, he released the ultimate hammer technique: "Deep Sea Overlord Hammer!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two forces clashed violently, with powerful energy shockwaves making it hard for the onlookers to stay standing!
"Too strong! This Ye Wen is too strong! What a freak!!!"
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Ye Wen's human form anymore.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Golden Snake Out of the Hole!!"
A massive snake head shot up from the ground, lunging at Ye Wen.
Ye Wen's feet glowed with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring: "Fifth Soul Skill, Deep Sea Demon Whale Shield!!"
The snake's mouth clamped down on the Demon Whale Shield but couldn't break it. In fact, its fangs almost shattered as Ye Wen blocked the attack. In the moment the golden snake and the shield vanished…
Ye Wen activated his third Soul Skill again: "Deep Sea Dragon Fist!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
