This longsword wasn't his martial soul, but it had also been named the Weeping Blood Sword by him. He had commissioned a Saint Blacksmith to forge the sword for him, and it had been constructed from soul refined alloys. He carried the sword with him at all times, and even though it wasn't his martial soul, he had already forged a spiritual connection with them. Following that clash with Tang Wulin's enormous hammer, he was truly petrified that his precious sword could've been damaged.
What was even more worrisome for him was that he hadn't managed to get very far away from Tang Wulin, and the reason for that was very simple: the Vajra Bracelet was too heavy. Even though the giant hammer had already shrunk down before being sealed away into the Vajra Bracelet, the bracelet wasn't able to completely nullify its weight. 30% of the hammer's weight still manifested itself, and that amounted to around 500 kilograms.
For a Hyper Douluo, 500 kilograms wasn't too unmanageable a weight under normal circumstances, but being forced to carry 500 kilograms of additional weight naturally posed quite a significant impediment in battle.
After being diverted to the side, the hammer in Tang Wulin's right hand slammed onto the ground, and the entire sports stadium tremored violently.
From afar, the spectators could only see how massive the hammer was by comparing it to Tang Wulin, but only after it actually struck the ground did the spectators truly realize exactly what Chu Tiange was currently facing.
The giant hammer slammed into the ground, and a deafening boom rang as a giant crater was smashed into the competition platform. The crater had a diameter of over 10 meters and was around three meters deep. Even the construction material used for the imperial sports stadium was no match for such a devastating blow.
The hammer was repelled into the air upon impact, and Tang Wulin swiveled around in mid-air, adjusting his grip in the process so that he was wielding the hammer with both hands. There was no technique to speak of; he merely rotated on the spot before slamming the hammer down toward Chu Tiange again.
On the rostrum, the smug expression on Dai Tianling's face had been completely replaced by astonishment. En Ci had also been rooted to his chair.
What the hell was that thing? Was it really a weapon that could be used by a human? Wasn't that a mecha weapon? Scratch that, even a mecha wouldn't be able to wield such heavy weapons!
Never did Dai Tianling think that Tang Wulin would bring out a pair of weapons beyond the devouring ability of the Vajra Bracelet.
Meanwhile, the Smiling Douluo was chortling with glee. "Haha, it's our Tang Sect's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique!"
Indeed, Tang Wulin was currently unleashing the Tang Sect's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique. This technique was meant for forging, but it could often be used in battle to great effect as well.
The most fearsome thing about this technique was that the power of each hammer blow would be compounded by borrowing the impact of the previous hammer blow.
With the enormous strength brought to him by his Golden Dragon King bloodline and Body Sect congenital secret method, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique that he was unleashing was truly formidable.
Chu Tiange had practiced swordsmanship all his life and had reached an extremely high degree of mastery in the way of the sword, but in the face of Tang Wulin's hammer blows, he found himself unable to use any of his advantages.
Tang Wulin was too strong and too fast; there was no way for him to use his sword intent to affect Tang Wulin.
If this were a battle without restrictions, he would've already used a soul skill to counter Tang Wulin, but this was a weapons battle, so that was obviously prohibited.
As such, both he and Tang Wulin were forced to resort to many types of battle techniques that they wouldn't normally use.
In the face of Tang Wulin's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique, there was no alternative for him but to evade for now.
"Boom!" Another resounding boom rang out as the giant hammer slammed onto the ground to create another massive crater. Compared to the previous one, this crater was even more gigantic, and cracks were spreading from it in all directions. The entire sports stadium tremored as if it were on the verge of collapse, and many of the spectators let loose cries of alarm.
Of course, Tang Wulin wasn't able to hear these voices. He borrowed the force of the second blow and swung his hammer around for a third strike.
In the spectator stands, A'Ruheng was chortling with glee. "In strength, I concede only to my junior disciple brother! This is by far the best way to do battle! I have to get him to forge a pair of giant hammers for me, then learn this hammer technique for myself, haha!"
It was a pity that Sima Jinchi wasn't by his side to bicker with him. Otherwise, the two of them would be even rowdier.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Each hammer blow was more powerful than the previous one, and soon, the entire competition platform had been riddled with cracks and craters.
Chu Tiange was darting all over the competition platform to evade the attacks, but the fierce winds being swept up by the hammer was already beginning to affect his movement.
Was this level of strength really attainable for a human? Surely even En Ci wouldn't be able to replicate this!
Soon, over 20 hammer blows had been dealt.
Initially, only slight tremors were running through the sports stadium, but as the hammer blows continued to increase in power, the protective barrier over the competition platform was beginning to malfunction, and the entire stadium truly seemed as if it were on the verge of collapse.
No, I can't let him keep going like this! There are over 100,000 people in this stadium; if he keeps this up, the entire stadium is going to collapse!
With that in mind, Chu Tiange finally made the decision to retaliate. No one knew how much longer Tang Wulin could keep this up for, and it certainly wasn't a good idea to find out the answer to that question.
As another hammer blow came crashing down from Tang Wulin, Chu Tiange chose not to evade. Instead, he leaped up directly toward the giant hammer before thrusting his longsword forward.
Tang Wulin's hammer blows were imbued with devastating power that affected a large area, but he was using the tip of his sword to break through that power by attacking a single point.
A sword projection erupted out of the tip of the sword like lightning, and Chu Tiange's body began to spin like a top as he rose diagonally up into the air.
After becoming a Soul Sage, all Soul Masters gained the ability to fly. If he could rise up from the ground, then he wouldn't have to fear Tang Wulin's giant hammer any longer.
He was rotating as he ascended in order to minimize the effect that the power of the giant hammer had on him, and his longsword was releasing a burst of diverting force that caused Tang Wulin's hammer to veer slightly off course.
Chu Tiange was gritting his teeth tightly, and his body was clearly being blown off to the side by the fierce winds swept up by the giant hammer, but he was able to continue his ascent by violently contracting his soul core to release his soul power throughout his body.
"Boom!" The giant hammer fell again, and dust was already beginning to rain down from the roof of the imperial sports stadium.
Countless spectators heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Chu Tiange emerge out of the range of Tang Wulin's hammer blows. At the very least, they didn't have to worry about the sports stadium collapsing on them anymore.
Right at this moment, the image on the big screen transitioned to a close-up shot of Tang Wulin's face.
The giant hammer he was wielding was undoubtedly a double-edged sword; it was capable of unleashing extraordinary power, but had to be extremely taxing to wield as well. Now that Chu Tiange had rushed out of the range of the hammer's attacks, the match was virtually in the bag for him. The battle was all but decided. Tang Wulin had surely expended far too much energy, and his opponent had risen up into the air. In the face of Chu Tiange's signature Weeping Blood Sword Qi, he had no chance.
However, the image of Tang Wulin's face on the big screen wasn't a picture of disappointment and exhaustion as everyone had expected. Instead, there was a smile on his face that seemed to be completely out of place in this current scenario.
What was he smiling about? The same thought occurred to everyone at once.
They were then greeted by the sight of Tang Wulin tossing his giant hammer to the side. Immediately thereafter, he turned toward Chu Tiange, who had already risen to an altitude of over 100 meters, and he raised his right hand high up into the air, upon which a beam of scintillating light suddenly erupted into the heavens.
This was like a giant pillar of light that threatened to pierce through heaven and earth, and when it emerged, all other sources of light in the entire sports stadium paled into insignificance.
The Holy Spirit Douluo was seated in the waiting area in the sports stadium, and tears suddenly began to flow down her face at the sight of this pillar of light.
