Childhood Battle, Clear Sky Hammer Fourth Spirit Ring

(TL by Bagelson)

When Tang San saw the shrinking Dark Devilgod Tiger, he still thought it was funny. But when she looked down at herself, it didn't feel funny anymore. Because currently his entire body was shrinking to less than one meter twenty. His body had shrunk, and even his clothes were getting smaller along with it. He looked like when he was six or seven.

What surprised Tang San the most was that not only had his body changed, the golden trident was lying on the ground next to him, and his current spirit power had also diminished when he was six years old and still had not broken through to the first level. Even the two Clear Sky Hammer and the mighty Blue Grass Silver Spirit had yet to awaken. All he had were shallow Mysterious Heaven Skills.

Back to childhood? Tang San swallowed. What kind of spirit ability did the Dark Devilgod Tiger use? Why did he and the two become so small? Can he change back?

His body could not move, as if a strange force was targeting him. No spirit ability could be used, including the spirit bone ability. Currently she was Tang San who was not yet six years old.

A strange voice echoed around.

“Welcome to the arena of life and death. Only the death of one side could end this life and death battle, and leave this space. Countdown, five, four, three, two, one, start. ”

As this sudden voice counted down, Tang San's mind moved like lightning. All he could do in his present condition was think. Although he did not know how the Dark Devilgod Tiger did it, he had returned to the age of six. It's fact. But the Dark Devilgod Tiger had also shrunk, this proved that he was also equally suffering from any restraints he experienced. Then this battle was not entirely in vain.

A simple explanation of the strange voice told Tang San that this was a fight between life and death, a fight between life and death between himself and the Dark Demon King Tiger back in childhood. They still had to return to the real world afterwards. His body will then recover. And dying in battle here naturally also meant dying in reality.

That the Dark Devilgod Tiger brought him to such a place was probably because the baby spirit beast was much stronger than the baby spirit master. This spirit ability was too strange. No wonder Da Ming and Er Ming had never been able to finish this person off in their battle. With such spirit abilities, it was truly difficult to deal with. Luckily Da Ming and Er Ming were also ferocious beasts, they should not have come out worse when returning to childhood like this.

Before Tang San could think any further, his body suddenly loosened, the boundary was already gone. That stagnant feeling had just disappeared when the Dark Devilgod Tiger turned into a dark shadow, instantly lunging towards Tang San. His red eyes showed a cold light, as if he had already regarded Tang San as a corpse.

Of course the Devilgod Tiger shrunk by a meter and a half there was no threat to the adult Tang San, but when he was only six years old, one of the Dark Devilgod Tiger's attacks might seriously injure him. When he was six years old, after all he was still too weak. But if the Dark Devilgod Tiger thought he would be annihilated so easily, it would be extremely disappointed.

Other spirit masters might not even dodge the first attack of the Dark Devilgod Tiger. Before their spirits were awakened at the age of six, they were just ordinary children. The Dark Devilgod Tiger was only unlucky enough to meet Tang San. Born from two worlds, although Tang San could not be described as powerful when he was six years old, he had still cultivated the secret art of the Tang Sect for a while.

Using the Ghost Shadow Steps, Tang San nimbly dodged, immediately letting the Black Devilgod Tiger pass him as he took another strange step, pressing close to his lower back. With a light shoulder handle, the Dark Devilgod Tiger was struck to the side, its balance shattered, rolling around on the ground several times before capturing its balance.

Tang San smiled, he smiled very happily. Because he knew that there was no longer any point in prolonging this battle.

The first attack of The Dark Devilgod Tiger was missed. It quickly shot back, lunging towards Tang San once again. His strength had completely fallen to the teenage stage, even the ten year spirit beast level. But it was endowed with talent, and even with cultivation of less than ten years, its true strength was probably above that of a ten-year-old spirit beast. Dealing with a child in such conditions, in the mind of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, was as easy as possible. But with his first attack, Tang San used action to say that, even when returning to childhood, killing him wasn't easy.

When the Dark Devilgod Tiger turned around and attacked Tang San once more, it saw little Tang San holding a one chi long black box in his hand.

The black box was a bit heavy, but to Tang San who had already cultivated Mysterious Heaven Skill up to the first level, it was nothing. His soft little hand quickly wrapped around the black box, one loud metal horn after another resounded.

Seeing the second attack the Dark Devilgod Tiger was about to land, Tang San turned around, using Ghost Shadow's puzzling Steps to slide three feet to the side, then it rolled around on the ground to once again avoid the Dark Devilgod Tiger's charge.

The Dark Devilgod Tiger was a bit panicked. It could not understand how such a small human possessed such agility, it could actually easily dodge its attacks. With a deep roar, streams of gray fury began to spread from the Dark Devilgod Tiger. The gray stream slowly condensed into a spiral shape in front of him.

The evil energy of the Dark Devilgod Tiger cub was just as small, the spiral formed in front of him was only the core of the Dark Devil Thunder, very different from what he used in his previous battle against Tang San. It had practically instantly sent a vast expanse of Dark Devil Thunder, but now condensing this kernel was still extremely difficult.

But the Dark Devilgod Tiger formally believed that even if this thunder kernel condensed from evil forces did not directly hit Tang San and simply exploded next to him, it was not, it was still strong enough to capture him and end this battle.

At the same time as the Dark Devil Thunder formed in front of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, Tang San's hand also stopped on the mechanism. The black box slowly rose, leading to the Dark Devilgod Tiger.

Whoosh—— The Dark Devil Thunderbolt shot out, but at the same time, a rumbling sound and a powerful buzzing sound exploded. Sixteen streaks of black light shot from the small box in Tang San's hand like a mirage.

Boom—— First blast is Dark Devil Thunderbolt. The power of his explosion was truly astounding, at least six of the black shadow lines were spinning in all directions. But, the twelve remaining black lines also shot towards the Dark Devilgod Tiger at the same time.

Pupupupupupu—— Amidst a series of dull sounds, Dark Devilgod Tiger froze. Large gray clouds burst out from his body, each of the foggy lightning causing him to tremble. His red eyes were filled with disbelief.

Tang San began to open the black box a second time, carefully watching the Dark Devilgod Tiger with a completely calm expression, he said,

“Sorry, I must admit that you are the most cunning and dangerous spirit creature of all that I have seen. Probably the smartest. You not only have great strength, but also very accurate battle planning. No wonder you were able to survive until now as a Dark Demon Tiger. I believe you should even be a king among the entire Dark Devilgod tribe. I admit I lost planning and control. I underestimated your strength even more, and my confidence let me ignore the possibility of danger. Unfortunately, luck is not on your side. I probably won't lose you when I'm six years old, because I'm a disciple of the Tang Sect. Moreover when, even though the restraint of this ability was extremely strong, it could not withstand my spirit tools. The G.o.dly Zhuge Crossbow once again became my victory talisman. When you and I went back to childhood and arrived in this strange space, your loss was already set. But I will admit that you are an enemy worthy of respect. A strong opponent. ”

Saying so, Tang San gave a hint of respect to the Devilgod Tiger, expressing his respect. And the Dark Devilgod Tiger also seemed to understand what Tang San was saying, glaring at him and roaring reluctantly. His red eyes seemed to spew fire.

Suddenly, Tang San felt goosebumps, comprehending something from the Dark Devilgod Tiger's gaze, and his face instantly paled,

“It looks like my luck is very good. Good bye . ”

Clangclang.... Chichichichichi…. . .

Sixteen gray bloodmist clouds once again erupted from the Dark Devilgod Tiger. No matter how powerful his body was, this time, all of his life aura was destroyed before the smooth iron arrow bolts. This difficult battle was finally over.

Everything around became distorted, the space was instantly shattered. The boundless darkness swept out once more. Tang San relaxed, quietly returning the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to the Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse. His heart is still beating.

The light flashed, his entire body light. When he once again placed his feet firmly on the ground, Tang San was already back in the Great Forest of the Dou Star, his lost strength was back, all his strength was back. The Seagod Trident also lay quietly near his feet. And not far in front of him, above the gigantic corpse of the Devilgod Tiger, floated a strange pearl. The pearl looked completely dark, but it emitted a cyan and blue colored luster.

Whatisthis? Before Tang San could react, the black hole that released him inhaled, and the strange pearl flew straight inside. Tang San immediately used the Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, but right at the moment he mastered the pearl, the black hole was covered with explosions, the space that was torn back to normal. The strange pearl from the corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger thus disappeared.

Tang San looked distracted, frowning. He could not help but hit her in the face. He knew that normally he would react fast enough to catch the pearl, but since his mood was affected, he was unsuccessful. This is really not a good sign.

Looking towards the corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, Tang San could not hold his breath for himself. This powerful ferocious beast was simply too shocking to him. It had unexpectedly made what he originally thought was a very simple battle into a fight for his survival, and even had to rely on luck to win in the end. This spirit beast was truly too powerful. Fortunately no one could possess the spirit of the Dark Devilgod Tiger. He hoped that his spirit ring would provide him with more benefits.

Thinking about it, Tang San couldn't help but feel the lingering fear. The Dark Devilgod Tiger's gaze before his death told him that his final ability was not that simple. The true effect of the ability should have Tang San himself go back to childhood, while the Dark Devilgod Tiger was not affected at all after being put in. Just because his final Purple God Light broke his defenses, it was also not exempt from the effects of ability. Just like him, it had returned to childhood, and then died to the G.o.dly Zhuge Crossbow. Imagine, if he did not use the Purple God Light or if the Purple God Light had no effect, then the conclusion to the six years he faced sixty thousand years of the Dark Devilgod Tiger was obvious. It was not a proportional battle. This fight was truly a familiar call. Strong self-confidence is not a bad thing, but if it grows too strong it will become arrogance.

While pondering, Tang San slowly sat down cross-legged, focused. Blue Silver Domain spread out, the Seagod Trident stuck to the ground next to it, using overlapping domains to set up defensive and confusing areas. At the same time the Blue Silver Domain All Rivers Run Into The Sea main capability was launched. He would not allow himself to face danger due to carelessness. Before he absorbed the Dark Devilgod Tiger spirit ring, he had to first restore his lost spirit power.

The blue light motif appeared in Tang San's Blue Silver Domain. The Great Forest of a Dou Star was vast, although Tang San relied on his territory to absorb the energy of the blue silver grass, absorbing just a little bit from each blade of countless grass gave him enough energy without injuring them, helping him to quickly recover his spirit power.

After his spirit power was restored to its peak, Tang San's gaze returned to the corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger on the ground. The Blue Silver Emperor slowly retreated, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his palm out of nowhere. Blue Silver Domain also instantly switched to Deathgod Domain, a powerful killing intent emanated. Tang San's mental strength also spread as far as possible. After making sure there was no threat within a few dozen li, he then began absorbing the fourth spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer.

With the black Clear Sky Hammer in front of him, one ring of red and two black light was very different. Attentively watching the giant corpse in front of him, Tang San swung the hammer once. Instantly, streams of gray floated from the corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, immediately condensing into a ring shape in the air. And at the same time a not-so-great but extremely ice-cold energy pierced into Tang San's body, frantically attacking the heavy defenses laid down by his Mysterious Heaven Skill's internal strength.

Those icy-cold energy streams were filled with evil hatred and intense aversion. As soon as it pierced into Tang San's body, Tang San spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Tang San's preparations were not in vain, the present circumstances were enough to prove that first restored his spirit power to that peak beyond the right. Moments after that ice-cold evil energy attacked, the internal energy of Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill had been fully adjusted. A gentle stream of energy condensed together with Seagod's Light, forming a huge net that enveloped the ice-cold energy. The absorption of the spirit ring begins.

And along with the spirit ring that left it, the gigantic corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger also began to transform into a stream of gray energy, slowly disappearing.

And along with the spirit ring that left it, the gigantic corpse of the Dark Devilgod Tiger also began to transform into a stream of gray energy, slowly disappearing.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill plus Seagod's Light was like a gigantic millstone, dissipating the evil energy from the Dark Devilgod Tigers spirit ring drop by drop. The Dark Devilgod Tiger was truly special. The previously condensed pearl shot into the black hole by taking advantage of the momentary attention of Tang San, who instantly traveled to another space. As for where he went, the Dark Devilgod Tiger also could not control, but did not want to fall into Tang San's hands.

The absorption process continues for a full four hours. When Tang San exhaled a long breath and woke up from his cultivation, he felt his mind and energy clear. What surprised him was that just by absorbing this spirit ring, his spirit power had already risen from peak ninety-three, halfway past rank ninety-four. This proved just how astonishing the nature of the Dark Devilgod Tiger was.

The dark spirit ring was secretly arranged in the fourth position of the Clear Sky Hammer. When a trace of spirit power was inserted into it, he immediately felt an evil energy shot soaring into the sky. That feeling of strength made the Clear Sky Hammer turn into a faint gray. Surprisingly, when this gray spread to Deathgod Domain, the two clashed with each other before actually showing signs of mixing together. The aura of The Deathgod Domain also instantly grew stronger. In fact, the Deathgod Domain was already a peak domain. After being enhanced once again by the influence of this fourth spirit ring, how could Tang San not be happy?

Not only did his spirit power rise. Tang San also discovered that the effects of the Dark Tiger Demon spirit ring had also substantially increased some of its attributes. It shows most clearly in strength and mental strength. There was no need to mention his strength, on the surface the Dark Devilgod Tiger was originally a spirit type power beast. But that increase in mental strength seemed to once again have an evolved effect on the head spirit bone that had fused with the Light Seagod, making Tang San's formidable mental strength increase by about five percent.

Not at all underestimating that five percent. Tang San's mental strength level was already terrifying. Increasing it further is very difficult. Raising it five percent in one go, Tang San might be able to fully suppress a power like Auntie Dong with Purple Demonic Eyes!

His hard work was not in vain. The dangerous battle with the Dark Devilgod Tiger was traded for another step in strength. The effects of this one Dark Devilgod Tiger spirit ring were comparable to the effects of two fifty thousand year old spirit beast rings. Other than lacking one spirit ability compared to a hundred thousand year spirit ring, it was not inferior to any other means in any other respect.

Merely, what made Tang San unhappy was that after he had absorbed the Dark Devilgod Tiger spirit ring, he had also just seen the last gray dust from the corpse of the Dark Sacred Tiger.

There are no spirit bones. This was the reason Tang San was unhappy. With the characteristics of the Dark Devilgod Tiger, plus the cultivation of over sixty thousand years, Tang San was almost certain that it should have produced spirit bones. But still not. Recalling the pearl from before, Tang San understood that it might be the crystallization of the Dark Devilgod Tiger's abilities, also including the three attributes. Very unfortunate. This extremely intelligent spirit beast was ultimately unwilling to let him gain all the benefits.

Nevermind, a man who is never satisfied is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. That he could obtain the fourth spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer of such quality was already an incredible fortune. No need to be greedy for more. Since the pearl had already entered the black hole, no one knew if it was swallowed or pulled into another dimension.

Thinking of this, Tang San also slowly calmed down, only analyzing his gains and losses. Sensing his strength increasing comprehensively, his mood turned calm again. After a short break, he spread out the Blue Silver Domain again, searching for his second target.

Experiencing this battle had made Tang San understand that he was still lacking in many ways, and the most important among them was that he still had not fully unified many of his abilities.

Two spirits, Seagod Trident, six spirit bones. Currently Tang San's spirit abilities were in the tens. Moreover, each of them had their own noteworthy features, each capable of dominating battles. But because the origins of spirit abilities were so different, and using them had different requirements, Tang San could not help being delayed when switching between them, and was unable to merge them, either, or suffer from unnecessary fatigue while using it in succession, also as suffering the consequences after using it.

In the end, it was all because he had yet to find a method to combine his abilities. But combining dozens of spirit abilities was easier said than done. Tang San was most familiar with the first five spirit abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor plus the secret skills of the Tang Sect plus his first spirit bone Eight Spider Lance. Among the later abilities, Tang San was most familiar with the four that Xiao Wu had assigned him, but they had already fully returned to Xiao Wu. In the past five years he had gained many abilities, and his strength had also increased substantially. In terms of ability control and exchange, he was far from familiar with his first five spirit abilities. But as he grew stronger, the enemies he faced would become stronger as well. Even if the first five spirit abilities had been upgraded to the fifty thousand year level, they were still not enough to meet Tang San's needs. Therefore, he would have to use his spirit ability later on.

When his enemies were not strong enough, or perhaps because they were suppressed by Tang San, his inadequate combination still did not show clearly. Including Auntie Dong. Auntie Dong was suppressed by the Seagod Trident because of her own abilities, and also knew nothing about Tang San's abilities. That was why he had lost their last few battles. If Auntie Dong now recovered to her peak condition and fought Tang San again, the situation would be different.

Although Tang San was intelligent, combining so many abilities in such a short time was definitely impossible. He himself also knew about the matter, but his repeated victories had made his confidence soar, and he ignored it. After the battle with this Dark Devilgod Tiger, the alarm bells in his mind all rang. He also clarified his cultivation path later on. Even if he became a Seagod, this combination of abilities was still indispensable. God does not represent everything. There is no absolute power in this world.

Releasing the Blue Silver Domain, Tang San continued to move deeper into the Great Forest of the Dou Star as he searched. This time his luck was not that good, with no results after searching for an hour. The Blue Silver Domain was spread out within an enormous range, but the previous battle with the Dark Devilgod Tiger had made the Star Forest Great Forest. Sensing those enormous energy fluctuations, the spirit beasts with cultivation over fifty thousand years escaped or did their best to hide their presence. As Tang San investigated the Blue Silver Domain, the search deepened even closer. Once it passed a certain range, if the spirit beasts had sufficient cultivation and hiding abilities that were effective enough, it would be very difficult for him to find them as well.

Once it passed a certain range, if the spirit beasts had sufficient cultivation and hiding abilities that were effective enough, it would be very difficult for him to find them as well.

After being in the Great Star Dou Forest for almost a day, plus the difficult battle from before, Tang San decided to rest for a while as he watched the sky grow darker.

Finding a very tall tree to lean on, Tang San stabbed the Seagod Trident on the ground next to him. The gentle energy allowed him to enter a cultivation state. His mental strength was reserved within a distance of fifty meters. With his current cultivation, there was basically no need to worry about a sneak attack, unless there were a few evil beasts that were tired of living.

Upon reaching the level of a Title Douluo, the spirit masters would emit some sort of quality, like a hundred thousand year old ferocious beast would also emit a powerful aura. Such a quality was extremely frightening for a clever spirit beast, especially when Tang San also had the more shocking Seagod Trident next to him. Perhaps only a fully confident super spirit beast like the Dark Devilgod Tiger would dare to fight him head-on.

Closing his eyes, circulating his breath according to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, a faint white light emerged from his body, turning into protective astral energy that revolved around him. With Tang San's current cultivation, although this protective energy could not compare to the Devilgod Tiger Demon Protection, it was not much different. It was enough to protect him while cultivating.

After discovering his flaws, even if Tang San knew time was precious, he couldn't help but reflect during this period of rest. Reflect on what he has to do. His first thought was the similarity between him and Auntie Dong.

In this world, only Auntie Dong was similar to her among all the spirit teachers she knew. Both have twin spirits. He had also fought with Auntie Dong more than once. He should not have more spirit abilities than he did, or even less. He also failed in the number of spirit rings a hundred thousand years old. Carefully recalling the spirit ability used when Auntie Dong fought with her, at the same time contemplating her own flaws, Tang San gradually entered a trance.

His cultivation continued for four hours. Although Tang San wanted to increase his strength, and deal with the current matter, he knew that he still had to become a Seagod as soon as possible. Time is precious! Especially with the strange aura he felt from Spirit City when he entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Only, these four hours did not go to waste. Through careful consideration, she discovered that Auntie Dong was also facing a similar problem to hers, only that she would handle it a little better. His ability to easily switch spirits while in the form of a spirit avatar was mainly made for the amount of ability and coordination of his spirit. If not for his Trident Seagod heavily suppressing him, and Purple Demon Eye exploiting his recklessness to build victory, he would have been impossible to defeat him. And in terms of using other abilities, Auntie Dong did not seem to use her full strength when facing him, thus causing her defeat.

But in these four hours, Tang San only really understood one word, a combination. He didn't know if he could also use Auntie Dong's quick spirit turnover after his Clear Sky Hammer had seven spirit rings, but one thing was certain, though, the way to truly deal with the current matter was a combination of spirit abilities.

With his current cultivation, even though his spirit ability consumed a large amount of spirit power, he still had enough to endure through using spirit abilities in series. The direction he needed to progress towards now was to perfectly combine all sorts of spirit abilities without showing any flaws, as well as to attack the enemy hard enough or to control it. This of course could not be resolved with a single combination method, but when he could perfectly combine all of his spirit abilities, he would be truly powerful.

Continuing on moving to the Great Forest of a Dou Star, he released the Blue Silver Domain to continue scanning while he pondered over the matter of combining his spirit abilities. By the time he fought against the Dark Devilgod Tiger, the forest also became calm again. Those powerful spirit beasts were extremely clever, they naturally also knew that human spirit masters had to push their spirit power into a bottleneck before they needed spirit rings, he said, and it only takes one at a time. There had only been a short time since he had obtained the Dark Devilgod Tiger spirit ring, and it was probably assumed they should not be so afraid.

The Blue Silver Domain merged together with the blue silver grass in the forest as far as possible, scanning carefully without revealing the slightest fluctuation of spirit power, searching for the fifth Clear Sky Hammer spirit ring.

The result was as Tang San had expected, and within an hour of searching, he finally found another spirit beast that was a match for him. And this time he once again received a pleasant surprise. Because it was actually the only spirit beast he was most familiar with, the Man Faced Demon Spider. Just through scanning the Blue Silver Domain, that cold and ferocious presence told him what a spirit beast was like.

To Tang San, the Devil-Faced Spider Man was associated with joy and misfortune. The First Human Facing Demon Spider he had encountered had given him the most valuable external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances. Like Tang San experienced all kinds of battles. The Eight Spear Spiders were often able to catch the enemy off guard and bring victory. But, the Man Faced Demon Spider also gave him tremendous anger and pain. That time in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, if not for the sudden appearance of the Demonic-faced Spider Man, blocking his escape and Xiao Wu, how those Spirit Hall experts were chasing, was it, which caused Xiao Wu to sacrifice himself to save his life ?

It was undeniable that the Man Faced Demon Spider was a kind of extremely powerful spirit beast. Whether in strength, poison, or all of his various abilities, it was a nightmare for most spirit beasts. Its quality might not be as good as the Dark Devilgod Tiger, but to other spirit beasts, it was no less dangerous. Once again finding this beast spirit, how could Tang San release it? Let alone the others, just the food from the high-level Demon-Faced Spider Man to his Eight Smooth Spiders was something he could not let go of.
