Soon, a minute passed.
In this brief minute, Tang San had already consumed Oscar's full-strength recovery sausage. Combined with the operation of his Mysterious Heaven Technique, his soul power had mostly recovered.
The spectators were quite disdainful of Tang San's actions; even Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, feeling displeased.
However, since the Blazing Academy had no objections to this, they didn't say anything.
Huo Wushuang said with a hint of helplessness, "Sister, why did you agree to the Thunder Academy's request just now? Even if you agreed, you shouldn't have let them restore their soul power by eating food-type soul master sausages in that one-minute period."
Huo Wushuang genuinely couldn't understand why his sister would make such a decision; it seemed like a thankless move.
But Huo Wu responded, "Brother, don't worry about it. I have my reasons for doing this. Soon, Tang San will probably go all out. Your task is to hold off the rest of the Thunder Academy with the other team members."
"I'll handle Tang San. If necessary, Huo Chun and Huo Jun can boost me!"
The other team members were also a bit puzzled, but Huo Wu's authority was unchallenged; whatever she said, they would follow.
Inwardly, Huo Wu was thinking that Tang San might use his second martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, soon, as his soul power had mostly recovered.
Since she had promised Su Ming to properly teach Tang San a lesson, she intended to execute it perfectly.
By defeating him after he used his Clear Sky Hammer, she believed it would break Tang San down even more!
At that moment, the announcer, Dou Dou, saw that both sides were ready and said, "The one-minute timer is up. The match resumes!"
As soon as the announcer finished, a massive blue hammer appeared in Tang San's left hand!
In the audience, Su Ming and Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed, not expecting Tang San to reveal his second martial spirit so quickly. Wasn't he worried about being targeted by the Spirit Hall?
Some less-informed spectators immediately raised questions: "Hey, isn't it against the rules to use weapons in this match? Isn't Tang San breaking the rules?"
"Yeah, yeah! Announcer, Tang San is blatantly breaking the rules; shouldn't you declare the Blazing Academy the winner?"
Since the Thunder Academy had already violated the rules once, and the Blazing Academy hadn't objected, people saw the appearance of a hammer as Tang San relying on external help.
The announcer, Dou Dou, found herself in a dilemma, casting her gaze towards Emperor Xue Ye and the others on the stage.
What should she do?
As she was close enough to Tang San, she could tell that the hammer was unusual, not just a simple weapon. However, due to the Clear Sky Clan's long isolation, it had been years since a soul master with the Clear Sky Hammer had appeared, so it was natural for some to forget.
Compared to the restless crowd, Emperor Xue Ye uncertainly asked Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Leader Ning, is this… the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, the hammer in Tang San's hand should indeed be the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit."
Emperor Xue Ye murmured in shock, "Then that means Tang San is a twin martial spirit user?"
Meanwhile, the Spirit Hall Bishop Salas, sitting on the other side of Emperor Xue Ye, was struck by a thought upon seeing the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Clan had been in seclusion for years, and only that person, exiled from the sect, had it.
He remembered hearing about a child back then. If his calculations were correct, the age matched perfectly!
This needed to be reported to the Pope.
Salas subtly gestured with his left hand, summoning a heavily armored Spirit Hall guard. He whispered something to him quietly.
This interaction was naturally noticed by Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi.
However, they chose not to intervene. They were well aware of the old grievances between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Clan.
Salas held a considerable position within the Spirit Hall; otherwise, Bibi Dong would not have assigned him to oversee the Heaven Dou City branch.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, thinking the Spirit Hall likely intended to target Tang San. But that was not his concern.
Though their three sects shared a common bond, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Clan were technically rivals.
One supported the Heaven Dou Empire, and the other, the Star Luo Empire.
Tang San alone couldn't represent the Clear Sky Clan. Whether he lived or died didn't matter; he had already formed a grudge when he decided to help Su Ming.
Then, Emperor Xue Ye's authoritative voice resounded, "The match continues. This is the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, not an external weapon, so Tang San has not violated any rules."
The announcer, Dou Dou, sighed in relief.
And the audience members who had just raised doubts fell silent.
The Clear Sky Hammer?
Whoa, was this the long-lost legacy martial spirit of the Clear Sky Clan?
But why was it appearing here?
Some observant spectators remained silent, sensing that the reappearance of a Clear Sky Hammer user might foreshadow future events.
On the stage…
Huo Wu smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you to possess twin martial spirits, and the other one is even the Clear Sky Hammer. But, your second martial spirit doesn't have any spirit rings. Do you think you can defeat me like this?"
Tang San expected this question. Although his Clear Sky Hammer lacked spirit rings, his months of training with his father were not in vain!
From the Clear Sky Clan's martial skills, he not only mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique but had also learned a few of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
Ordinarily, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes were forbidden for Tang San to practice without the approval of the clan's leaders. His absorption of the Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone hadn't boosted his power as anticipated.
After much consideration, Tang Hao decided to teach Tang San the nine attack techniques of the Clear Sky Hammer, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
Tang Hao planned to bring Tang San back to the Clear Sky Clan to reclaim his heritage after winning the soul master competition. He believed Tang San's talent and power would earn him recognition from the clan master and elders.
Now, he was simply teaching Tang San ahead of time, not technically breaking any rules, as Tang Hao continuously reassured himself.
In response to Huo Wu's remarks, Tang San looked at the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, realizing that his only chance to win was through the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique!
