Chapter 680 - Long Yue Becomes Serious

As strong as Tang Wulin was, he could only use the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique to deliver 38 strikes. His arms were shaking slightly with fatigue. He retrieved the hammers from the ground and put them in his storage ring. If he kept on wielding them, he wouldn’t be able to raise his arms. Not for the rest of the day, at least.

Long Yue inhaled deeply, his dented chest swelling up again. Smiling, he lifted his right hand and gave his opponent a thumbs-up. Tang Wulin gazed at him in awe. What is his body made of?! He looks totally unscathed! But the Dragon King lost the strength battle, whether he cared to admit it or not.

Long Yue’s eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He had never considered any contestant in this tournament worth his attention, until now. “I will fight you seriously now!” he said in his deep voice.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. Five pieces of golden armor appeared from his body with a flash of golden light, enveloping his arms, shoulders, and chest. The breastplate had just been finished by Ye Xinglan the other day. He was getting closer to having a full set of one-word battle armor.

“Why did he put his hammers away?” Dai Tianling asked En Ci, confused. “He landed several pretty effective blows on Long Yue with those hammers.”

“He did,” En Ci replied. “But the heavy hammers and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique were placing enormous strain on his arms. He didn’t have enough strength to swing it anymore. He bettered Long Yue in strength though, which was a feat that only a handful of people had achieved.”

Elder Cai sat there, her face expressionless, as if she had nothing to do with this match.

The atmosphere in the waiting area was getting more and more tense. Dai Yun’er’s heart had leapt up into her mouth in fear when Tang Wulin’s hammer sent Long Yue flying. She was as worried about Long Yue as she was impressed by Tang Wulin’s extraordinary power.

“Mountains!” Long Yue shouted, and then, “Rivers!”

Mountain ranges rose up, and rivers appeared. Together they formed a magnificent view. Although they were not real, their destructive power humbled Tang Wulin, and he could feel pressure coming from every direction. Is this a domain ability? Tang Wulin thought, aghast, as the mighty rivers rushed towards where he was standing, carrying rocks from the mountains. No, it can’t be. He is only a six-ringed Soul Emperor. No way is he able to use a domain ability.

Tang Wulin’s eyes started shining a bright golden, and then a phantom dragon appeared. The tyrant dragon, as tall as 200 feet, exuding a tyrannical aura. Its long tail came lashing savagely down on the phantom river, smashing it into a thousand pieces. Then it opened its cavernous mouth and let out a thunderous roar so loud that it blasted all the mountains and rivers into oblivion. With a flash of light, it vanished, as suddenly as it had appeared.

“Bog!” Long Yue boomed. The ground under Tang Wulin’s feet suddenly became muddy and spongy. It was not phantom this time; it was very real. Tang Wulin hurriedly leapt up, but the mud also flew up into the air, following him hard at his heels.

I can’t let the mud catch me! Tang Wulin thought. Blue vines shot out of his body and lashed wildly at the mud. When he started to fall, a golden vine flew towards the ground where Long Yue’s soul skill hadn’t affected, gave him a good push, and sent him flying towards his opponent.

Long Yue snorted, his fourth soul ring shining. Each and every soul skill of his was very powerful. If not for Tang Wulin’s mind-boggling strength and the energy of the Golden Dragon King, this fight would have been long since over.

When Tang Wulin was only a dozen feet away from Long Yue, his own fourth soul ring lit up, and a swarm of blue vines shot towards the Dragon King. Bluesilver Overlord Transformation!

All the vines became thicker and stronger as a phantom tyrant dragon head appeared atop Tang Wulin.

Surprisingly, Long Yue never even attempted to dodge. He let the vines wrap tightly around his body and watched with calm eyes as Tang Wulin’s golden dragon claws came at him.
