Over the next few days, Xiao Wu stayed by Star Moon Lake with Da Ming and Er Ming. However, they refused to meet Tang San, and in the end, Tang San could only accept this result helplessly.
On a cliff overlooking the lake, Da Ming and Er Ming accompanied Xiao Wu to watch the sunset while also observing Oscar's "training" of Tang San.
By Star Moon Lake, five spirit rings rose around Tang San , two yellow, two purple, and one black. The Blue Silver Emperor in his right palm shone with a vibrant green light, releasing a powerful spirit energy fluctuation of a level 51 Spirit King, showing that Tang San had already reached that stage.
Oscar did not use a sword. Instead, he ate a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Sausage, transforming into a humanoid Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. His demonic face showed a strange smile as he beckoned Tang San.
"Little San, let me see how much you've improved over the past year!"
Tang San endured Oscar's terrifying pressure with burning battle spirit on his face. Having now broken through to Spirit King and gained the Blue Silver Prison, a powerful group control skill, he had long wanted to spar with Oscar.
He knew he couldn't win, but just by fighting Oscar, he could gain valuable experience.
"I was thinking the same!" Tang San smiled. "First Spirit Skill: Entanglement!"
The first yellow spirit ring lit up, and countless Blue Silver Grasses surged toward Oscar.
Oscar didn't use his Evil God Wings. He simply strode forward with heavy steps toward Tang San.
As the Blue Silver Emperor vines closed in, Oscar swung his massive tiger claws, sending out ten terrifying wind blades that instantly shredded all the incoming vines.
But Tang San immediately activated his third spirit skill, Source of Life. The shredded vines instantly regenerated, attempting to wrap Oscar again.
In the next moment, lightning erupted around Oscar, shredding every vine within five meters of him.
Even with the Source of Life regenerating them, the Blue Silver Emperor vines were turned to ash by the thunder's elemental superiority.
Tang San knew his first spirit skill was ineffective. Seeing Oscar closing in, he used his fourth spirit skill, Leaf Plucking Flying Flower.
Countless Blue Silver Emperors transformed into blades. Tang San's hands turned jade white as he moved them at lightning speed, sending out the sharp blue-silver blades, each coated with a faint purple poison.
However, Oscar's speed did not decrease. The thunder and wind around him grew more violent as he sent wave after wave of thunderstorm blades forward, each one cutting through at least ten blue-silver blades before dissipating.
Tang San's attacks could not pierce Oscar's defense, and his poison had no effect.
When Oscar was within ten meters, Tang San finally activated his Blue Silver Prison. Five layers of prisons formed one after another, trapping Oscar.
Each time Oscar broke one with thunder and wind, another rose to replace it. Even when he shattered the fourth, the first had already regenerated.
Tang San's spirit power was draining rapidly, but thanks to the Source of Life and the abundant Blue Silver Grass near Star Moon Lake, he could absorb vitality to replenish his strength. The more he fought, the more spirit power he regained.
Once Oscar was trapped, Tang San again activated his fourth skill. The vines forming the prison sprouted countless sharp blades, attempting to skewer Oscar.
Oscar smiled. Just as the blades were about to pierce him, dark gray light flashed around his tiger claws , a fusion of thunder, wind, and darkness.
"Dark Demon Thunder Break!"
Oscar's claw strike unleashed terrifying energy that blasted through all five prisons, leaving dark energy that slowed their regeneration.
He walked out unhurriedly, while Tang San's expression grew grim.
As expected, his senior's control over thunder, wind, and other elements still completely overwhelmed his Blue Silver Emperor. Against anyone else of the same rank, Tang San's combo would have ended the fight already.
But Oscar wasn't just unharmed , he even blocked Tang San's second spirit skill, Parasitism. Surrounded by lightning, Oscar made it impossible for Blue Silver Seeds to attach, rendering the skill useless.
Without it, Tang San lost one of his most dangerous abilities.
Even under this pressure, Tang San still wasn't out of tricks.
He withdrew his Blue Silver Emperor and rushed toward Oscar. A black giant hammer appeared in his left hand.
He wasn't just a control-type spirit master , he excelled in close combat too.
From the cliff, Da Ming and Er Ming's eyes lit up when they saw the hammer.
"Is that... the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Xiao Wu nodded. "Yes, Little San also has twin spirits. His second spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool spirit on the continent."
With that confirmation, Da Ming and Er Ming were amazed. If Tang San had been a mere prodigy before, now he was a true genius.
Given his talent, reaching Title Douluo in the future was almost certain. When he finally attached spirit rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, his strength might rival even Oscar's.
Perhaps he wouldn't surpass Oscar, but he would definitely be second only to him , the strongest under Oscar.
Tang San swung the Clear Sky Hammer at Oscar's tiger claws. The hammer carried a terrifying force that howled through the air.
"Bang!"
The hammer and claws collided. Tang San staggered backward several steps, while Oscar stood unmoved.
"Show me your Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique!" Oscar grinned and sent out five thunder-wind blades toward Tang San's limbs.
Tang San quickly swung his hammer to block them. Just as he caught his breath, Oscar was already upon him again, striking with another powerful claw.
Tang San's attacks became purely defensive. Oscar's strength and precision forced him to block each blow perfectly, leaving no chance to counterattack.
If not for combining Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step with Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, Tang San's technique would've been interrupted long ago.
The longer the fight went on, the more Tang San realized how terrifying Oscar truly was. Since joining Shrek Academy, Oscar had never once used his full power.
No matter how strong Tang San became, he could never sense Oscar's limits.
When Tang San finally finished his eighty-first hammer strike, he poured all his energy into one final blow.
A black dragon seemed to surge from the hammer, powerful enough to crush a Spirit Emperor.
But Oscar calmly raised his tiger claws, forming a six-element light wheel that devoured the attack completely.
The immense power was neutralized with ease. Oscar then leapt up and punched, nearly shattering Tang San's hammer and sending him flying into Star Moon Lake.
On the cliff, Xiao Wu's heart clenched. She knew Oscar wouldn't hurt Tang San seriously, but it was still a brutal beating.
Moments later, Tang San emerged from the water using his Blue Silver Grass to pull himself out.
Landing on the ground, his body glowed green as giant vines rose from the earth, forming a massive barrier.
"Sky Blue Vine Torso Bone Skill: Sky Blue Barrier!"
As it formed, Tang San's entire being merged with the Blue Silver Emperor vines. His spirit power surged wildly.
The third spirit skill, Source of Life, reached its peak effect.
Purple light flashed, and all the vines turned into blades. Even the massive vines of the barrier became enormous azure blades, filling the space with lethal energy.
Tang San's voice echoed from within. "Senior, this is my strongest attack. I hope it can at least give you some pressure."
Countless blades rained down from all directions, completely surrounding Oscar.
This was Tang San's strongest large-scale attack , both control and offense combined. Even a Spirit Emperor might not withstand it.
But Oscar was no ordinary spirit master.
He didn't fly away but instead spread his Evil God Wings. Gray-black light gathered as the wings folded around him, forming a massive dark shield.
This was his strongest defensive skill , Evil God's Protection.
The countless blades clanged uselessly against the shield without leaving a mark.
As Tang San's spirit power ran out, the shield remained intact. Tang San could only sigh in defeat.
When his spirit power was exhausted, Oscar approached, handed him a Super Recovery Sausage, and smiled.
Tang San ate it, smiling bitterly. "As expected of Senior. Even with everything I have, I still can't make you feel pressured."
Oscar patted his shoulder. "You're already excellent. Once your second spirit gains its own rings, your strength will skyrocket. Keep working hard, Tang San. Your future is bright."
Tang San nodded seriously. "I understand, Senior. I'll remember your words and keep training."
…
In the Sword Sect, Oscar was busier than ever. Lists of gifts were being sent out across the continent by the Lingyu Escort Agency.
Tang Hao, drinking tea in the guest room, looked puzzled. He called a disciple over and asked, "What's going on? Why are there so many gifts being prepared?"
The disciple hesitated, then answered, "The Grand Elder is going to propose marriage at Tianshui Academy. The Young Sect Master is preparing the betrothal gifts."
Tang Hao was stunned. He had heard that the Grand Elder once fought evenly with Chen Xin.
Anyone who could fight Chen Xin, a level 96 Super Douluo, to a draw had to be at least eighty or ninety years old.
And he was still getting married?
Tang Hao was speechless. Was this elder really that full of energy?
