Cut

Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, wore cold smiles on their faces despite their anger.

What angered them was that Tang San had disobeyed them and revealed his second martial soul in front of everyone.

Revealing the second martial soul at this moment was of no benefit to Tang San. On the contrary, it could attract the pursuit of major powers!

The Clear Sky Hammer, universally acknowledged as the number one tool martial soul in the world!

Even without a spirit ring added to it, its hardness and weight were not things to be trifled with.

Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword is powerful, right? Yet even he wouldn't dare to clash with the Clear Sky Hammer head-on.

An ancient soul tool... artifact???

At that moment, the two of them looked stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Their expressions changed so quickly; it was shocking.

"How is this possible?!"

Yu Xiaogang shouted, standing up from his chair.

This scene was something he found hard to accept.

Unlike Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao didn't shout out loud, but he was equally shocked in his heart.

He could understand how this sword could cut through Tang San's external spirit bone.

After all, that external spirit bone was currently only a thousand-year spirit bone; any slightly stronger spirit master could break it.

But now, it was facing the number one tool martial soul in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Fake, it must be fake!"

When the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand collided with the sword in Chi Yu's hand, there was no "clang..." sound of metal striking.

The Clear Sky Hammer, like tofu, was cut in half by Chi Yu's sword!

At this moment, not to mention Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang, who here wasn't shocked?

Even the three education committee members felt chills down their spines, cold sweat pouring down, followed by a wave of ecstasy.

Chi Yu was their disciple; of course, the stronger he was, the better!

"Hiss—"

The crowd gasped, feeling their scalps go numb, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.

Too terrifying!

This was the Clear Sky Hammer! Such a martial soul, just by colliding with this sword, was instantly shattered.

If even the Clear Sky Hammer was like this, what about other martial souls?

Of course, they understood one thing.

Both tool martial souls and beast martial souls would grow along with the spirit master.

A Clear Sky Hammer at the Spirit Elder level, even without spirit rings, wasn't something so fragile!

"Could this sword truly be a legendary divine weapon?"

A bewildered, confused, and perplexed expression appeared on Tang San's face, vividly displayed in just a second.

Tang San didn't know the name of his second martial soul, but he knew that it was extremely powerful.

Its weight and hardness were not something an ordinary tool martial soul could compare with.

Yet such a powerful martial soul was just cut in two by the sword in Chi Yu's hand?

After the Clear Sky Hammer was split into two, it shattered into countless fragments and returned to Tang San's body.

"Urgh..."

The damage and pain caused by the shattering of the spirit bone and martial soul were too much for Tang San to bear, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Xiao San!"

Yu Xiaogang was the first to rush toward the arena, his face full of anxiety, his eyes filled with concern and anger.

Tang San must not have any accidents. If something happened to him, who would prove Yu Xiaogang's theories?

As Tang San's teacher, apart from lacking strength, Yu Xiaogang was quite responsible.

He had meticulously planned out Tang San's path.

Except for Zhu Zhuqing, all the members of the Shrek team rushed to the arena.

Their eyes were red as they looked at Chi Yu.

If looks could kill, Chi Yu would have died a hundred times over!

"Flender, what are you planning to do?!"

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin appeared almost simultaneously beside Chi Yu, with Meng Shenji at the front, shouting angrily at Flender.

"You lack the skill, yet you intend to bully the young? Do you really think the three of us old fellows are easy to push around?"

Chief Meng Shenji's face was stern as he confronted Flender.

"Chief Meng, we demand an explanation!" Flender responded angrily.

"A mere sparring match, yet you destroyed a spirit bone and damaged a martial soul! Is this still considered a sparring match?"

Flender's words sounded righteous, as if they were the victims.

With so many people present, as long as Shrek Academy didn't make the first move, Meng Shenji and the others had to give them an explanation. As the hosts, would they really make the first move?

Hearing this, Meng Shenji and the others nearly laughed in anger.

Did they really think Meng Shenji and the others didn't understand the match?

As experienced elders of the Douluo Continent, and especially as representatives of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, they had seen countless matches.

Tang San had struck directly at his opponent's vital points with a series of sinister moves — was this a sparring match?

Wasn't it Tang San himself who asked if weapons could be used, and then only allowed himself to use them?

The weapon Chi Yu used was just a tiny bit stronger than average, and yet Tang San's side couldn't handle that?

"An explanation?" Meng Shenji's face darkened. "Anyone with eyes can see that my disciple Chi Yu was holding back, which is why Tang San even had a chance to show off! If she hadn't held back, the first thing to turn to dust wouldn't have been just the Blue Silver Grass!"

"All the weapons Tang San used — were those normal weapons? Every single one aimed at Chi Yu's vital points! If it weren't for my disciple's skills, the one lying down now..."

"And you dare demand an explanation from me?"

Meng Shenji was truly enraged; his voice was filled with anger, and it seemed like he could make a move at any moment.

Hearing this, the older spectators nodded in agreement. They could see that Chi Yu had indeed held back. If she had treated Tang San the same way she treated Dai Mubai, Tang San wouldn't have lasted this long on the stage.

Flender was taken aback and found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and he came up with an idea.

"Hmph, this is just a case of bullying the weak!"

"Chi Yu is so many levels higher than Tang San and is using an ancient soul tool. Isn't that bullying?"

No matter what, Flender intended to pin the blame for bullying on the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

The big academy bullying the small one!

"Mr. Glasses, isn't what you're saying a bit off?" Paimon interjected, placing her hands on her hips. She rarely had moments of such clarity. "Tang San went up there himself; no one forced him. A loss is a loss. How is it considered bullying when Little Chi Yu is stronger?"

"And besides, wasn't it you guys who asked if weapons could be used?"

Upon hearing this, Flender trembled all over, a bit frightened. In his anger, he had nearly forgotten Chi Yu's status.

"Flender, stop talking. Let's go!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with resentment. After picking up Tang San, he called out to Flender.

Now was not the time for revenge; they needed to endure.

"Xiaogang…"

"Let's go!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang leaving with Tang San in his arms, the Shrek team members exchanged glances, nodded, and followed suit.

They weren't foolish; they knew that behind their opponent stood a power they could not afford to offend!
