Chapter 215: "Father, Xiao San Is My Son—Your Grandson!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were only a hundred meters from Tang San.
But the attack from beneath the ground came from even closer—faster than they could reach.
In that instant, there was only one option left—to hurl the Clear Sky Hammer with their full strength, hoping to intercept the sudden strike.
The power difference between Tang San and the new enemy was too immense.
Even brushing against an enemy's spirit skill could have reduced him to dust.
A great crater suddenly erupted beside the enormous tree where Tang San sat, and from it leapt two massive dragons.
The shockwave hurled the Shrek Seven Devils away in all directions.
A Soul Douluo clad in the robes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan swiftly caught Ning Rongrong midair, shielding the others just enough for them to land safely.
That was the bodyguard Ning Fengzhi had secretly assigned to protect his daughter—arriving right on cue.
The attackers, however, ignored the group entirely.
Their goal was clear.
The blue dragon—a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—charged straight for Tang San, while the ash-gray Earth Dragon swung its enormous tail toward Flender.
Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; naturally, Yu Yuanzhen and the Mad Dragon Douluo would not attack them.
But they also couldn't risk letting them unleash their Martial Spirit Fusion Technique.
Thus, Flender became their target instead.
Poor Flender never stood a chance against a Titled Douluo's might.
With one mighty strike, he was smashed aside, tumbling through the air and vomiting blood as he was flung hundreds of meters away.
"Die, Tang San!
When you killed my grandson, did you ever imagine this day would come?
Tang Hao, watch closely—I'll tear your son to pieces before your eyes!"
Yu Yuanzhen roared, his martial spirit fully unleashed, transforming his entire body into a massive dragon wreathed in lightning.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's unique feature was that every soul ring coiled around its right arm.
Now in full dragon form, all nine rings gleamed upon his right foreclaw, each one amplifying his strength as that razor talon reached for Tang San to shred him apart.
The attack came so suddenly that everyone froze in shock.
Flender had been swatted away; Liu Erlong, recognizing Yu Yuanzhen, hesitated.
She made no move to help—torn between her clan and the student before her.
When forced to choose between Tang San and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, there was no doubt which side she would take.
But one man couldn't stand idly by.
Yu Xiaogang.
"No!"
Moments ago, he had been overcome with pride and tears for his brilliant disciple.
Now he couldn't bear to watch him die—even if the attacker was his own father.
Yu Xiaogang threw himself forward, shielding Tang San with his body, clutching him tightly.
"Father! Xiao San is my son—your grandson!" he screamed, voice cracking with desperate emotion.
"...???"
Yu Yuanzhen, still in dragon form, froze midair.
Even his scaled face darkened with disbelief.
When did I ever have a grandson—let alone one born of rebellion like this?
Though Yu Xiaogang was his son, he had long regarded him more as a pawn than kin.
But killing his own child—he could not bring himself to do it.
That heartbeat of hesitation was all it took.
From the distance, a crimson hammer roared through the sky.
"Courting death!" Yu Yuanzhen bellowed, his right claw lashing out to strike the oncoming Clear Sky Hammer.
He turned to face it fully—Tang Hao's hammer was massive, its weight exceeding ten thousand jin.
Thrown with all of Tang Hao's might, the weapon hurtled like a meteor, shattering the air.
Even Yu Yuanzhen dared not take it lightly. His nine rings flared brightly as he struck to block it head-on.
Nearby, the Mad Dragon Douluo faced another hammer—Tang Xiao's.
Tang Xiao had reacted in the same instant, casting his own Clear Sky Hammer.
"Who are you," he shouted furiously, "to dare strike at the Clear Sky Sect's prodigy?"
"I am the one who'll kill you!" the Mad Dragon Douluo sneered coldly.
Though the hammer's force thundered toward him, he did not flinch.
To cross weapons with the famous Clear Sky brothers—this was an honor, a chance to make his name known throughout the Spirit Master world.
His enormous dragon body whipped its tail sideways, clashing directly with the descending hammer.
Boom!
The heavens themselves seemed to quake.
The towering tree where Tang San had been cultivating exploded into splinters, scattering debris across the clearing.
Crashing sounds echoed as figures hit the ground.
Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang San tumbled violently from the air, struck by the shockwaves of four Titled Douluo colliding.
Liu Erlong threw herself in front of Yu Xiaogang, absorbing part of the impact; otherwise, with his meager cultivation, he would have been killed instantly.
"Aah!"
Tang San spat blood again and again.
The force of the clash was overwhelming.
Even freshly advanced to Soul Sect, supported by his external soul bone, his body trembled as though torn apart.
Pain aside, his eyes locked on the Mad Dragon Douluo—filled with burning hatred.
"He knows earth-burrowing arts… could it have been him last time?"
Images flashed through Tang San's mind of his stolen external soul bone, the agony of that loss seared deep into his soul.
His fury boiled over.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao shared the same realization.
Last time, their enemy had taken his son's soul bone… and now had come again?
Anger ignited within Tang Xiao like wildfire.
Did these fools truly think the Clear Sky Sect could be toyed with?
With a low roar, his hammer crashed into the opponent's tail again and again—earth-shaking, echoing like thunder.
Yet the Mad Dragon Douluo only laughed.
Defense was his pride.
His massive dragon body glittered with crystal-like scales of stone-gray light; each strike slid off his hide as sparks rained down.
The dragon's claws gleamed with metallic silver-gray luster, his body turning fully crystalline as he countered Tang Xiao blow for blow.
"Marvelous! Again!" the Mad Dragon Douluo exulted, intoxicated by battle.
He wanted to make this his debut—a Titled Douluo rising to eminence with his first fight!
"Shameless beast! Today, I'll smash you to dust!" Tang Xiao's face darkened, channeling all his rage into his blows.
The Clear Sky Hammer pulsed with black light as its immense weight built the unstoppable momentum of mountains collapsing.
This Earth Dragon's toughness exceeded expectations, but Tang Xiao refused to yield.
For in sheer attack power, the Clear Sky Hammer—number one among tool spirits—reigned supreme.
No beast, not even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, could match it.
And this Earth Dragon was no exception.
"One force shatters all laws," Tang Xiao muttered coldly. "I'll bury you with my hammer."
Meanwhile, white ripples expanded outward—Tang Hao had unleashed his Slaughter God Domain, its aura amplifying both brothers' strength.
Against Yu Yuanzhen, Tang Hao had little true advantage; his old injuries still limited him, even after two years of recovery.
His endurance was poor, but his mastery of the Slaughter Domain gave him one edge left.
With that, he invoked the technique Slaughter Assault, drastically boosting his destructive power.
Against ordinary Titled Douluo, his overwhelming burst and killing intent would have decided the fight already.
But Yu Yuanzhen, armed with multiple soul bones and hardened by countless battles, was no ordinary foe.
Even Tang Hao's might could not easily wound him.
And Yu Yuanzhen's lightning was terrifying—arcs of blinding blue erupting like divine wrath across the battlefield.
