Just then, the Second Elder waved his hand to stop the chatter and said, "Alright, since everyone is ready, let us begin this match."
As he spoke, he thought to himself, "Tang Wei is usually such a timid kid. Why is he acting so reckless today? Well, it doesn't matter. Letting him suffer a bit will teach him his place and show him why he should stay quiet."
He glanced at Tang San and continued his internal monologue, "As for that wager about crippling a Spirit? Hmph, this is the Clear Sky Sect. How can a scoundrel like Tang San dictate the terms here? Once Tang Wei loses, I will have a good enough reason to step in. At most, I will just have Tang Hu fight him again to settle things."
Following the Second Elder's signal, Tang San could no longer hold back his anger. His killing intent exploded, and he imdiately released his spirit power.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Black, Black, Black!
Six spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. This was a configuration that far exceeded what was considered normal. The three deep black ten-thousand-year spirit rings were especially shocking. Many of the third-generation disciples of the Clear Sky Sect who were watching started to cry out in surprise. This setup certainly proved he had the talent of soone with twin spirits.
"First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Entanglent!"
His first spirit ring lit up with a bright glow. Tang San slamd his palm onto the ground and shouted a command. He didn't feel like using his stronger spirit abilities yet. In his mind, a simple binding move was more than enough to deal with a Rank 40 Spirit Ancestor.
In an instant, countless dark vines of mutated Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground. They were covered in strange, bloody patterns and looked like poisonous snakes crawling out of a dark abyss. They swept frantically toward Tang Wei, who just stood there without moving. It looked like he was paralyzed by fear. Wherever the vines grew, the air around them beca cold and heavy.
Gazing at the dark vines rushing toward him, Tang Chen, who was disguised as Tang Wei, released his own rings. Three spirit rings appeared: two yellow and one purple. This was the standard look for a Spirit Elder. He calmly clenched his hand, and a Clear Sky Hamr appeared. It looked ancient and was entirely black. He was using a simulation ability to hide his true strength and make his hamr and rings look ordinary.
Then, while everyone watched in shock, he didn't use a flashy spirit ability. He simply swung the hamr toward the incoming Blue Silver Grass. It was a simple, plain motion, but it followed a very specific and powerful path.
There was a loud boom!
There were no bright lights or big explosions. Instead, there was just a massive, pure force that felt like it could shake a mountain. This force erupted from the Clear Sky Hamr and hit the air so hard that visible ripples appeared. The tough Blue Silver Grass, which was usually strong enough to trap a Spirit King, snapped into tiny pieces instantly. Black grass clippings flew everywhere as the vines were destroyed.
"What just happened?" soone in the crowd yelled.
"One blow? He defeated the Blue Silver Grass with just one hit?"
"This is impossible! Since when did Tang Wei have this kind of power?"
The audience went wild with noise. The disciples were all confused and could not believe what they were seeing. How could a Spirit Elder use pure strength to shatter the ability of a Spirit Emperor? It went against everything they knew about spirit ranks.
Tang San's eyes went wide, and his face was full of shock. He couldn't help but shout, "How is this possible? Your rank is so much lower than mine! How could you break my Blue Silver Grass with a single hamr strike?"
He could feel that the power in the opponent's strike was very solid and heavy. It felt much stronger than his own spirit power, which was a bit shaky because he had increased his level too fast by stealing energy from others.
In the middle of the arena, the fake Tang Wei stood tall with his hamr. He heard Tang San's cries and let out a an laugh. His voice was full of mockery as he spoke to Tang San.
"Your spirit abilities are just for show, and your power is weak. You can't even handle one hit from . Is this really the genius with twin spirits everyone talks about? Tang San, you are much worse than I thought. You are truly disappointing."
These words felt like a cold knife stabbing into Tang San's heart. His face turned bright red from sha and anger. He gasped for air, feeling completely humiliated. However, sothing even more shocking was about to happen.
As soon as the fake Tang Wei finished speaking, his movent changed. He started moving as fast as the wind. The black Clear Sky Hamr in his hand began to swing in a strange, rhythmic way that matched his footsteps.
One strike, two strikes, three strikes! The shadows of the hamr flew through the air. The power of each swing added to the next, making his aura grow stronger and fiercer, like a snowball rolling down a hill.
"Is that...?"
"Disorder Splitting Wind! It's the Disorder Splitting Wind Hamr thod!"
"How can he be so good at it?"
People all around were shouting in surprise. Even Tang Xiao, who was sitting on the high platform, lost his calm. He stood up quickly, his eyes wide with shock. This technique was a secret of the Clear Sky Sect. Only the best disciples were taught how to use it. He wondered when Tang Wei, who usually seed so average, had learned to use it with such perfect skill.
As for how Tang Chen knew the move, he had simply watched Tang Hao teach it to Tang San back in the village years ago.
Looking at the growing storm of hamr swings, Tang San's anger turned into fear. He thought to himself, "Sothing is definitely wrong with this guy! His real power has to be higher than Rank 40. Also, why does he feel so familiar? I feel like I have seen him sowhere before."
The Elders on the high platform watched with approval as they saw the perfect form of the technique. The Second Elder nodded and thought, "I didn't expect this kid to work so hard in secret. His hamr technique is already very impressive."
Another Elder whispered, "He has a solid foundation and great skill. Even if his rank is low, his understanding and hard work are much better than those who think too highly of themselves."
But in the arena, Tang San was panicking. He felt the power building up in the hamr and realized it was strong enough to kill him.
"I won't lose to a Spirit Ancestor!" Tang San roared. His pride pushed him into a frenzy. He pushed his spirit to the limit, and his rings began to flash one after another.
"Second Spirit Ability, Parasite!"
"Third Spirit Ability, Spider Web Restraint!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Prison!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Thorns Array!"
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Blood Spider Sting!"
Suddenly, the whole area was covered in Tang San's dark vines and webs. A creepy, evil feeling filled the air, making the scene look very scary. But Tang Chen didn't flinch. His feet stayed steady, and he swung the hamr even faster. The power he had saved up was now terrifying.
"Break!"
With a loud shout, Tang Chen smashed the hamr forward. In an instant, the seeds on his body were turned to dust. The thick spider webs were torn apart. The cages were smashed to pieces, and the thorns were ground into powder. All of Tang San's flashy moves looked weak against that pure strength.
Finally, Tang Chen rushed forward. His hamr, which carried the force of dozens of previous swings, slamd directly into Tang San's arms.
There was a dull roar and the sound of bones breaking. Tang San flew backward like a broken kite. He coughed up blood and crashed onto the ground far away. He tried to move, but he couldn't get up.
The whole hall went silent. Everyone was frozen. A Rank 40 Spirit Ancestor had just used a hamr and a basic technique to crush a Rank 66 Spirit Emperor. It was a total defeat. After a few seconds, the room exploded with noise again.
"He's trash! Total trash!"
"A six-ring Spirit Emperor lost to a four-ring Spirit Ancestor? And he has twin spirits?"
"He has embarrassed the whole sect!"
"He calls himself a genius? I could do better than that!"
People started shouting insults and laughing at Tang San. He lay on the ground, feeling more humiliated than ever. On the high platform, the Seventh Elder stood up in a rage. He didn't even look at Tang San. Instead, he turned to Tang Xiao and yelled.
"Sect Master! Is this the genius you keep talking about? Is this the person who is supposed to save the sect? He is weak and can't even beat a Spirit Ancestor! Why should we trust him with our future?"
The other Elders didn't say anything, but their cold looks toward Tang Xiao said enough. Tang Xiao just stood there, unable to find any words to defend his nephew.
But then, sothing changed. Tang San managed to stand up despite the pain. His eyes were now glowing bright red. A cold, bloody mist started to spread from him, covering half the training ground. It slled like blood and felt violent.
He raised his left hand, and another black Clear Sky Hamr appeared. But this one was horrifying. The hamr was covered in white, crawling maggots. They were wriggling all over the handle and the head, and they slled like rotting at. Even worse, there was a single white spirit ring around it, which was the weakest kind of ring.
"I haven't lost! I'll fight you to the death!" Tang San scread like a wild animal. He used his fast footwork to blur into an image and charged at Tang Chen. He swung the disgusting, maggot-covered hamr with everything he had.
"Good timing!" Tang Chen narrowed his eyes and raised his own hamr to block.
The two hamrs collided with a huge crash!
But there was no clean hit. When the hamrs touched, the maggots on Tang San's hamr were blasted outward by the force of the impact. The slimy white bugs flew everywhere. Tang Chen felt a wave of nausea just touching the weapon through his own hamr. He used the force of the hit to jump back and get away from the insects.
He looked at Tang San with total disgust and pointed at him. "You! If you have any guts, stop using that gross hamr! It doesn't do much damage, but it sure is disgusting!"
The training ground was now a ss. Many disciples were hit by the flying maggots. They were on their clothes, their hair, and even their faces.
"Ugh! What is this?"
"This is so gross! Get it off !"
"It's maggots from Tang San's hamr!"
"Tang San, you jerk! Put that thing away!"
"Get out of here! You're disgusting!"
The air was filled with people cursing and trying to clean themselves. Anyone who felt sorry for Tang San before now only felt pure disgust. They wanted nothing to do with him.
The Elders looked just as angry. The Seventh Elder was shaking. He pointed at the crazy Tang San and yelled at Tang Xiao again.
"Look at this! Is this the genius you are protecting? Not only is he weak, but he is a freak who ruins the image of our sect! I'm going to finish this today!"
Just then, Tang San let out one last scream of madness. "I cannot lose! I am a genius with twin spirits!"
As he roared, the weak white spirit ring around his hamr suddenly exploded. It didn't make a loud noise, but it released a wave of chaotic energy that flowed into Tang San's body. His skin started to rip, and blood ca out of his face. He looked like a monster.
"What is he doing?"
On the high platform, all the Elders stood up at the sa ti, their faces full of shock.
