Chapter 212 Lin Manshan must die

What do you mean? The crowd of spirit masters in the arena were also stunned.

Listening to his tone, Lin Manshan was aware of what Tang San was doing, and then deliberately waited for Tang San to get ready?

At this time, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand then changed, the originally black hammer body completely turning into a radiant dark gold colour. The hammer body was also rapidly shrinking, the hammer handle shortening to a metre and a half in the blink of an eye, and the hammer head becoming only the size of a bucket. At this exact moment, a faint dark golden light enveloped Tang San, emitting an aura that was completely consistent with the Clear Sky Hammer, and the two seemed to be completely fused into one at this moment.

Raising his eyes towards Lin Manshan, his face was indifferent, "Lin Manshan, could it be that you'll only be resorting to verbal superiority?"

He could now completely feel that the power in his body had reached a whole new level, which was extremely robust.

It was enough to crush Lin Manshan!

Confidence filled his heart, his left hand flicked backwards, and his teammates behind him immediately understood and turned around to retreat.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuyun and the others also retreated back at Lin Manshan's signal, and a bland voice followed.

"Tang San, don't blame me for not reminding you, you better hurry up and strike."

"The prerequisite for the Martial Soul True Body to be unleashed is to fuse one's soul with the Martial Soul, so utilising the Weapon Martial Soul True Body consumes not only one's spirit power but also one's soul. Although you have now raised your spirit power to the Spirit Saint level using the Multi-Person Fusion Skill, your soul strength has not reached an equivalent level, so it is simply impossible to maintain your Martial Soul True Body for a long period of time."

"And once the time limit is exceeded and the soul is consumed too much, the consequences can be very serious."

But I'll be fine because I can use my soul power to substitute for soul consumption. Lin Manshan thought to himself darkly.

The very first time he had used a Multi-Person Fusion Skill to manifest his Martial Soul True Body, he had come to a realisation. The principle of Martial Soul True Body was actually very similar to Natal Weapon entry to the soul, the biggest difference was that performing Martial Soul True Body required a constant consumption of the soul, of course, as long as the realm reached a certain level and the soul strength was sufficient, the process was slow, but the appearance of high-intensity collisions of the martial souls would accelerate the process.

Therefore, Spirit Masters often couldn't maintain their Martial Soul True Bodies for long periods of time during battles.

This was because too much soul consumption would injure the origin.

The way of the Natal weapon into the soul, on the other hand, was to first strip off part of the soul and inject it into the weapon for binding, making the weapon a Natal weapon. Then the soul power gained and accumulated from burning the soul is injected into the Natal weapon to enhance its power and be used in battle. This path being applied to the Martial Soul, with the Martial Soul as the Natal Weapon, it was applicable at the same time. This was equivalent to replacing soul consumption with soul power, with an additional transition process in between.

Only by exhausting soul power first would one further consume one's soul.

In addition, spirit masters only spilt their souls to merge with their martial souls when they manifested their martial soul true body. On the other hand, the Way of Natal Weapon into Soul was to infuse the soul into the selected weapon, allowing the weapon to become one's own Natal Weapon the moment the fusion binding was already completed. Afterwards, you only need to inject the soul power to use it, and the two realms of the Spiritize and Limit Break are the use of the soul power of different degrees of division.

This is the difference between a five-second real man and a pure man who could duel until dawn.

Overall, the martial soul true body is barely a low-cost version of the natal weapon into the soul, the performance of both can increase their own strength, but the former defects are obvious. Firstly, the fusion of the soul with the martial soul is not permanent, and can only be fused briefly when used. Isn't the martial soul a part of the spirit master's body? The fact that it still needs to be fused temporarily is really inferior! In addition, the maintenance time is really short and feeble!

Unlike my... big sword, it's long and hard, long-lasting and durable!

Between his thoughts, on the other side, when Tang San heard the words, he couldn't help but be shocked inwardly, but on his face, he still maintained an indifferent expression, and his tone of voice was also flat, "As you wish."

When the words fell, "Boom!" The floor crumbled under his feet, and his body turned into a black shadow that rushed straight at Lin Manshan.

Running like the wind, the dust and crumbs flew behind him, and the huge Clear Sky Hammer trailed out a black tail flame.

"So fast! What a terrifying might," The numerous academy spirit masters were all shocked and sighed inwardly at the same time.

"Tsk, the gap." Lin Manshan's kind reminder contrasted sharply with Tang San's indifferent expression, and the crowd immediately made a comparison within themselves.

"Moreover, Lin Manshan is so calm!"

Raising his eyes, Lin Manshan just stood there quietly, not moving at all.

When Tang San approached, his figure rose in the air, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand rose against the wind, transforming into a dark golden shadow of a huge Clear Sky Hammer nearly twenty metres high.

"Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, Shock!" The huge hammer shadow suddenly fell at the sound of Tang San's low shout.

The huge hammer head obscured the sky, and the shadow on the ground enveloped Lin Manshan's entire figure.

Only then did Lin Manshan drag his sword across before his eyes, raising his head to look upwards, his tone was flat, "Tang San, you're still so naïve, so arrogant. Could it be that you haven't thought about why Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan in my team can rely on themselves to comprehend the ability to fly?"

Could it be. A flash of realisation dawned on Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi, and the others sitting in front of the Pope's Palace when they heard this.

"???" The spirit masters who couldn't understand were the ones who had doubts welling up in their hearts, but their gazes were focused, staring intently at the battle in the arena.

In the next moment, the huge hammer head arrived above Lin Manshan's head.

"Heh," Lin Manshan let out a light chortle, his left hand was behind his back, and his right hand, which was holding the great sword slowly raised up.

"???" The crowd of spirit masters outside the arena were instantly dumbstruck, revealing expressions of disbelief.

"What is Lin Manshan doing, receiving it forcefully using one hand?"

In the next second, the giant hammer fell, covering Lin Manshan's figure completely.

"Spiritize!" The low murmur was masked by the enormous wind pressure, and then, "Clang!" Eye-piercing light mingled with ear-piercing rumbling sounds erupted in the arena. Powerful gusts of wind spread in all directions with the ground cracking inch by inch, centred on the giant hammer that smashed down.

Fortunately, the square in front of the Pope's Palace was often swept by people, so not much dust was raised inside the arena to obscure the field of vision.

The crowd outside the arena lowered their hands that were shielding them from the strong wind and blinding light and looked again.   

"This this." Jaws dropped.

"Really received it with one hand!?"

"Is it a lie? This is a Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, a full-force strike wielded in the state of the Martial Soul True Body! I'm sure Tang San definitely didn't let go of the water, he even used the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, obviously aiming to smash Lin Manshan to death on the spot."

"Look, look, I told you that the Skywalker Battle Team lined up earlier was definitely preparing for a powerful fusion skill!" Someone got emotional, "The great sword is emitting green light, and the forehead mark has turned bright, Teacher Aoi, could this also be a martial soul true body?!"

"It should be."

Sure enough. Ning Fengzhi kept a look of awe on his face, "Lin Manshan has also realised a multi-person fusion skill, and it's even more advanced than the one used by Shrek Academy, and the effect is even more perfect, the teammates channelled their spirit power with almost no leakage at all."

"Lin Manshan's breath is introverted and calm at this point, unlike Tang San's sharpness, it should be because he comprehended it earlier and used it more skillfully. Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan should also have comprehended the flying ability in this way. Perceiving the flight talent that comes with the martial soul in the state of the martial soul true body, thus further comprehending the flight ability, this is indeed a good method."

"However..." Reverting to his gentle expression, he fell into thought, "Lin Manshan was actually able to take Tang San's full strength strike in this state so easily, this kind of strength"

Genius thinking. Bibi Dong also showed appreciation in her eyes, her sight landed on Lin Manshan's forehead imprint, thinking deeply in her heart. There were no other special fluctuations, so it seemed that this mark was indeed an effect brought about by the Martial Soul True Body.

"How is this possible?!" In the distance, Yu Xiaogang had an incredulous expression on his face, his entire body frozen in place.

Originally, he thought that this Multi-Person Fusion Skill was uniquely created by him, but now it seemed that it wasn't.

Moreover, Lin Manshan seemed to have comprehended it earlier and more perfectly than him.

"How is this possible?!" Tang San revealed the same incredulous expression as Yu Xiaogang's, but in just a moment, it was replaced by anger, unwillingness, and humiliation within his heart.

Lin Manshan had managed to receive his attack with just one hand, and it was still in full view of everyone, and it looked so easy. If this was placed in the eyes of the people around him, wouldn't it mean that he really wasn't as good as Lin Manshan?

Gritting his teeth, he twisted around and wanted to lift the Clear Sky Hammer to swing again.

"Nothing is impossible." Lin Manshan's voice suddenly came out, "Tang San, you're still too young, and your eyesight is too narrow, that's why you can't see the scenery from higher up." As the words fell, "Boom!" A blazing blade light suddenly burst out from the blade.

"Damn it!" Although it seemed to be just a random blade light condensed and launched by Lin Manshan, it seemed to contain monstrous wave-like power, and at this moment, Tang San only felt a powerful force continuously impacting the Clear Sky Hammer surface one wave after another.

"Ah!" Gritting his teeth, he pressed strongly, however, he still couldn't resist.

With a poof, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand tilted up uncontrollably, and his body fell backwards.

"Tang San once again losing and full of hate."

"We admit defeat!" Seeing Lin Manshan swinging his sword again, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly shouted in a hurry, however, it was too late.

The light of the blade was fast as lightning, and the swinging of the blade was done in just an instant.

"Ominous Moon Light. Chop!" A huge blade light nearly twenty metres long cut through the sky, charging straight at Tang San in the air.

"Ah ah ah ah," Tang San's hissing sound full of unwillingness echoed, his figure twisted strongly in the air, swinging the Clear Sky hammer martial soul to block, "Puh!" The blade light arrived in a flash, and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit Hammer head clashed, then, "Ah!" A miserable scream was heard, and blood was splattered.

The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul dissipated, and a figure fell suddenly, as the blade light continued onwards and disappeared into the sky.

In the distance, Tang Hao, who was about to take a step forward, suddenly stopped, but his eyes were already crimson.

"Lin Manshan, you must die!"

Although this blade light wielded by Lin Manshan disrupted the martial soul true body of his son, it prevented Tang San, whose soul had already been consumed to the edge of danger, from being heavily injured by the backlash. However, at the same time, it also slashed at his son Tang San's chest, causing him to be seriously injured.

The heaviness of this slash, in his opinion, was entirely deliberate on Lin Manshan's part.

In addition, the potential Lin Manshan had shown in this battle was definitely a huge threat to the Clear Sky Sect.

Whether it was for Xiao San or for the sake of the clan, Lin Manshan had to die.

After the tournament is over, let's have the Agility Clan do a proper reconnaissance first, and then find an opportunity to intercept and kill him after he returns from training Xiao San. Well as if thinking of something, a sudden light shone in his eyes, 'Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain can transform life force into cultivation; if we can capture Lin Manshan and use him as Ah Yin's nourishment. For example, let Xiao San devour and then infuse life energy into her, maybe'

Between his thoughts, Tang San fell to the ground and fainted, Yu Xiaogang who wanted to get up and rush into the venue had already been held down by Liu Erlong, and Flender was running towards the venue.

As for Lin Manshan, he retrieved his martial soul and stood in place, in the air, and Tang San's blood spilled down.

A drop fell on Lin Manshan's face.

He reached out and lightly wiped it, then froze, and then.

"Hahaha, ironic, truly ironic."

He laughed unrestrainedly.
