Chapter 284
Wang Feng's full strength was unleashed with the first-tier strength. Even soul masters at the sixtieth level would be overpowered in pure head on clash.
However, Yan was part of the Golden Generation of the Soul Hall Palace, with both his martial soul and soul power being the best among his peers.
The hammer struck, covering all of his sight, and the turbulent airflow exploded from the hammer's surface, producing a series of violent shockwave in the air. Yan was shocked and didn't dare to be careless. His soul power surged to its maximum, and his fourth soul ability was activated to its limit. The golden-red color of his body shone brightly, making him look like a burning bronze figure.
The second yellow soul ring on his body lit up, as a red fire coloured shield enveloped him.
"Soul Skill: Flame Cover!"
This defensive soul ability was used to resist enemy attacks, similar to Dai Mubai's second soul skill. In addition to providing defense, it also increased his strength by an additional 30%.
The combination of the two defensive soul abilities barely allowed Yan to breathe a sigh of relief. But when the giant hammer fell, his expression changed again!
He saw that the surface –of the giant hammer was suddenly covered with dense sharp spikes. Under these spikes, his Flame Cover shattered instantly, lasting less than half a second!
A bright realization flashed in Yan's mind: "Is this the changing form ability of his soul bone? He also used this technique last time, and the four hammer strike easily broke the martial soul fusion technique of the Godwind Academy!"
Before he could fully process this thought, the spikes disappeared, and the blunt hammer struck his chest directly!
Boom!
As if two iron stones collided, a muffled sound echoed. Yan's chest visibly sank slightly, as he was blasted backward!
Because the hammer struck Yan's chest diagonally, he flew in a slightly curved parabola.
Wang Feng didn't stop. The giant hammer in his hand transformed into two spears, and Wang Feng, shaking his arm, launched them at Yan. The two spears broke through the air as a boom was heard indicating its supersonic speed!
Wang Feng still didn't stop. Black particles condensed in his hand, forming a pitch-black bow.
Shoo!
Three long arrows took the shape as they immediately shot towards the flying–Yan!
This was Wang Feng's combo using the Armored Black Thorn! He had thought of this technique over the past few days, using the giant hammer formed by the Armored Black Thorns to knock the enemy into the air and then quickly form other weapons to cause continuous damage to the opponent in the mid-air. This required extremely strong reactions and intense practice.
With Wang Feng's current physical fitness, he could perform these combos seamlessly. The two black spears with blunt tips each hit Yan's hands. Two of the three long arrows hit Yan's feet, and the last one struck his lower abdomen!
Boom!
Yan was smashed into the ground, his limbs convulsing repeatedly, his whole body bent like a cooked shrimp. No matter how strong his fourth soul ability was, it couldn't keep him intact after a series of consecutive supersonic hits. Especially after being struck by a thousand kilogram hammer, his whole body's soul power had concentrated on his chest to resist the hammer's attack. When he flew out, he had no energy left to defend against the remaining attacks.
This was the damage caused by the Armored Black Thorn combo! After a series of moves, Yan felt as if his limbs were about to break, with intense pain everywhere in his body!
Wang Feng started with an iron hammer because of its power, focus, and the ability to fully utilize his strength, making it difficult for the enemy to defend against subsequent attacks. In simple terms, it was to create a stiff or paralyzing effect. It specialized in breaking the defensive type of soul ability, similar to the opponent's Flame Lord Raging Body.
This type of soul ability made it difficult to shake him while greatly increasing his defense.
The advantage of the Armored Black Thorn's was fully utilized when hitting Yan with the hammer. No other weapons, like spear, swords, knives, or bows, were as effective as a single giant hammer hitting someone.
However, at this time, Wang Feng did not pursue the victory but waited. Everyone's eyes focused.
"Is he waiting for the other party to release his ten-thousand-year soul ability?" Ning Fengzhi whispered, Sword Douluo nodded slightly. With the eyes of their Title Douluo, they couldn't miss any detail in the battle.
On the other side, Bibi Dong and the other two Titled Douluo's faces remained calm. They were fully aware of every competition in the finals and had already analyzed the strength of Jiu Yikai and his potential. Although the current situation was somewhat unexpected, it wasn't beyond their imagination.
However, Yan had lost too quickly. Jiu Yikai did not had a complete insight into Yan's soul abilities but he still lost too early!
Jiu Yikai didn't continue to attack, he was clearly just waiting. Confident and powerful, he waited.
The other two members of the Golden Generation looked very uneasy. Although Yan's soul power level was only one level behind Xie Ye, his overall strength was comparable, maybe somewhat even stronger in defensive capabilities. Because Xie Yue possessed a weapon martial soul, it couldn't be compared with the beast type martial soul in bodily strength and defense.
Seeing Yan being crushed like this, with no power to fight back, it seemed as if Jiu Yikai was waiting for him to release his fifth soul ability, they naturally couldn't accept it.
At this moment, Yan, lying on the ground, finally revealed his dark ten thousand year soul ring. The ten-thousand-year soul ability was a turning point for the soul master. With this soul ring shining, Yan's whole body suddenly appeared to crack, with countless fissures like magma cracks becoming wider.
Scarlet blood, like magma, spilled from the surface, and then fierce flames ignited on him. From a distance, he looked like a Burning War God!
"Soul Skill: Burning Soul Blood!"
Yan shouted angrily, and under the blessing of the ten-thousand-year soul ability, he seemed to have turned into a true Flame Lord. But this wasn't the true form of the martial soul. It was a special ten-thousand-year soul ability that required specific conditions to activate. The first condition was extreme anger, and the second was a fatal attack on the body!
This ability, gained after the Flame Lord martial soul possessed him, allowed him to absorb the opponent's power and, upon reaching a certain point, used this power to drive the fifty-thousand-year soul skill.
The fifth soul ability, Burning Soul Blood, could increase his strength and defense by 100%, also giving resistance to physical attacks greatly, and lastly makes his body immune to pain!
It also had a certain long-range attack capability! Because it required energy to be activated, it was very powerful.
In simple terms, it needed to be activated by being beaten to a certain extent. It was a soul ability that could truly turn the tide of a battle!
However, after using this ability, it required at least a day's rest for the body to recover. Wang Feng was extremely surprised. This golden generation was indeed formidable, and this soul ability truly looked like a ten-thousand-year old soul ability.
Although he didn't know the specific effect, he could feel that Yan had become powerful again at this moment. This kind of reversal, once used, could certainly cause a spike-like effect on the enemy! Typically, after violently beating the opponent, a normal soul master would be in a state of exertion. At this time, using this soul ability to make a comeback is simply too powerful.
"Roar!"
Yan roared hoarsely, pacing back and forth.
Boom! A hot magma explosion suddenly spurted out from under Wang Feng's feet! Wang Feng frowned slightly and leaped. The black light under his feet condensed into a small shield, as the magma exploded directly on the shield. Wang Feng used the force to –attack Yan again.
A long range attack? It was indeed a very effective ten thousand-year ring soul ability.
Boom boom boom!
Several more magma explosions erupted from the ground, but Wang Feng accurately predicted and dodged each one. He stepped on the shield, and with the momentum from the magma impact explosion, he directly hammered Yan again!
This time, Yan didn't fly out but only retreated more than ten steps, even though his chest was sunken.
"Roar~" Yan seemed unfazed and looked to be in some kind of berserk state, attacking Wang Feng again and again. Every step he took caused a magma column to rise and explode from the ground.
"He seems like he can't feel pain?" Wang Feng was surprised, "Moreover, the body automatically mitigates most of the power from the giant hammer. Is this some kind of immunity to physical attacks? This soul ability is indeed quite strong."
Testing Yan's soul ability, Wang Feng's eyes turned cold.
Without hesitation, he used the Soul Killing Spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear sliced easily through Yan's arm, emitting bursts of flames. Clearly, Yan's current state could not withstand the sharp spear attack, the wound opened, and the pain reached his soul.
Although he lost his sense of pain, it was only physical, not spiritual. Yan suddenly covered the wound on his arm, and grunted in pain, the skin all over his body quickly returned to its original state. The pain he felt after the spear was toon sudden and too immense. It was excruciating!
After returning to his original state, Yan saw his whole body was scarred. He looked at Wang Feng with a bit of fear in his eyes. Step by step, Yan abruptly backed away, then sat down on the ground, resisting the pain caused by the spear wound, but did not cry out.
"I concede defeat," Yan trembled, squeezing out a few words.
Seeing this, the audience was in an uproar. Xie Ye and Hu Liena hurried forward and held Yan, while several healing soul masters came over.
