Chapter 1362
Chu Tiange swung his longsword around as he stood in mid-air, and his breathing had just evened out as he recovered from the impacts of the hammer blows he had been forced to endure earlier. However, he quickly discovered that the world around him seemed to have changed.
The sky was falling!
Of course, the sky wasn\'t really falling, but in this instant, he felt as if the sky were falling. All of a sudden, his body was plunged into free fall, and he plummeted straight out of the sky.
Immediately thereafter, a pillar of dazzling golden light erupted up toward the falling Chu Tiange. The golden light struck him with unerring accuracy, and in the next instant, Tang Wulin had already appeared before him. At this moment, he was wielding a snowy white spear, the tip of which was pressing against the blade of Chu Tiange\'s longsword, which he had been forced to use as a shield against Tang Wulin\'s attack.
"Ding!"
The longsword was snapped, and Chu Tiange threw up a mouthful of blood. The white spear stopped just short of his throat, and Tang Wulin could easily take Chu Tiange\'s life is he so pleased.
Everything had happened far too quickly, to the extent that the spectators had been left reeling.
From the moment Tang Wulin had discarded his hammer to the instant that he defeated Chu Tiange, only several seconds had passed. All of the meticulous plans and preparations that Tang Wulin had made during the past few days came into fruition in this instant.
Tang Wulin had secured victory in this fourth weapons battle of the Trial of Five Gods!
Tang Wulin supported Chu Tiange with one hand while holding his spear in the other as he descended onto the ground. He placed the deathly pale Chu Tiange down onto the ground beside him and gave him a nod before taking a few steps backward.
The entire stadium had been stunned into silence. How could they not be stunned? Everything had happened in what seemed to be nothing more than the blink of an eye.
On the rostrum, even the smile on the Smiling Douluo\'s face had faded, and En Ci was sitting bolt upright as he stared intently at the white spear in Tang Wulin\'s hand.
The spear had runes flashing all over its surface, and it was giving off an indescribable aura. It was only a spear, but it was like the tallest, most insurmountable peak on the entire Douluo Star.
The average spectator didn\'t know what the spear was, but all the powerful beings present who were at or above the Titled Douluo level were certainly aware of what it was.
En Ci murmured to himself in a slightly strained voice, "That\'s the Divine Atlas Spear!"
Chu Tiange was also staring blankly at Tang Wulin, as well as at the divine spear that he had just been defeated by. There was no disappointment or pain in his eyes, only a sense of indescribable yearning and inspiration.
"Thank you," he said as he extended a slight bow toward Tang Wulin, then turned to depart.
He was thanking Tang Wulin for giving him the opportunity to see the most powerful divine spear in the world in person. There was no shame in being defeated by such a spear. At his current power level, he wouldn\'t even have the right to challenge the former owner of this divine spear, so this was an honor that he had never thought that he would get to experience.
Tang Wulin slowly raised the spear high above his head, and a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
This victory wasn\'t for the Tang Sect; it was for Shrek Academy!
That\'s right, it was the Divine Atlas Spear that had been bestowed upon him by the Atlas Douluo that had secured the victory.
The Star Luo Empire had the Vajra Bracelet up its sleeve, but as the current Tang Sect Master and Sea God\'s Pavilion Master, Tang Wulin had the unreserved support of both the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so he certainly wouldn\'t be lacking in precious treasures himself.
Tang Wulin had three divine weapons in total in the form of the Golden Dragon Spear, Divine Atlas Spear, and Divine Space Time Shuttle. This was why Tang Wulin had been so confident about this weapons battle!
Even if the Divine Atlas Spear couldn\'t defeat his opponent, he still had more tricks up his sleeve that he could use through the Divine Space Time Shuttle, but this was undoubtedly the best possible outcome.
This was the first time that the Divine Atlas Spear had been displayed to the world again in its full glory following the passing of the Atlas Douluo, and not just Tang Wulin, but all of Shrek\'s Six Monsters also had tears flowing down their faces.
They had all witnessed how the Atlas Douluo had sacrificed his own life to save them. As the most powerful being in the world, even the Godslayer missile wouldn\'t have been able to kill him had he not been so intent on protecting the students of Shrek Academy.
Dai Tianling exhaled as he sank back into his chair. He was suddenly struck by the feeling that there were some aspects of his outlook that had to change. He didn\'t say anything, nor did he express any anger or disappointment; he merely stood up and left the rostrum.
Prior to the commencement of the Trial of Five Gods, who could\'ve anticipated that Tang Wulin would be able to achieve all of this?
Every single match had been quite perilous for him, and he was forced to come back from behind in all of them, but the fact of the matter was that he had won. Without sufficient power to back himself up, even all of the luck in the world wouldn\'t have been able to earn him these victories!
Even more importantly, with each victory that he secured, his momentum and popularity continued to build. For the first time, Dai Tianling\'s confidence in En Ci began to waver.
Was the final battle armor master match really an assured victory for the empire? Just how many trump cards did Tang Wulin have up his sleeve? Was En Ci really guaranteed to be able to secure victory against him?
There were no absolutes in this world, and a wry smile appeared on Dai Tianling\'s face as this notion dawned upon him.
......
The match was currently being replayed on the big screen, and it wasn\'t particularly exciting compared to the previous matches, but it had still most definitely been a spectacle to behold.
The majority of the battle consisted of Tang Wulin smashing the competition platform into pieces, and the giant cracks and craters on the ground were a clear visual reminder of the havoc he had wreaked.
The close-up image of Tang Wulin\'s smiling face appeared on the big screen again, and at this point, all of the spectators were already aware why he had smiled in that seemingly dire scenario; it was because he already had confidence that he was going to win the match!
In reality, the attacks he had unleashed with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique were all setting up that final comeback. Tang Wulin had devised many plans for this battle, and using these soul refined Heavy Silver hammers was one of those plans. As soon as his opponent brought out that Vajra Bracelet and deprived him of his Golden Dragon Spear, he knew that it was impossible to have a fair weapons battle where he could hone his skills.
He had only one objective for unleashing his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique: to force his opponent to rise up into the air.
Tang Wulin naturally wasn\'t powerful enough to unleash the full power of the Divine Atlas Spear, but he was still able to make use of it to a certain extent. Otherwise, Yun Ming wouldn\'t have left it to him in the first place.
The special effect of the Divine Atlas Spear was flight restriction! Following the activation of this special effect, even a Limit Douluo wouldn\'t be able to continue flying within a certain range of the spear.
There was naturally no way that Chu Tiange could\'ve anticipated this, but Tang Wulin was prepared well in advance and immediately followed up with his Path of Regal Domination for an instant victory. Even up until the instant that Chu Tiange was defeated, he still had no idea what had happened.
On top of that, having been wielded by the Atlas Douluo for so many years, the Divine Atlas Spear had attained an aura of invincibility. As such, using the Divine Atlas Spear to unleash Path of Regal Domination imbued the attack with a powerful sense of intimidation that completely crushed the opponent\'s spirit.
Due to the fact that soul skills were prohibited, Chu Tiange was unable to make use of the power of his sword essence, so his loss was essentially sealed from the very beginning.
This match had been a very frustrating one for Chu Tiange, but he was in no place to complain. After all, he was the one who had used the Vajra Bracelet and gained an unfair advantage first.
After making his way down from the competition platform and accepting his Golden Dragon Spear and giant hammer from Chu Tiange, Tang Wulin extended an apology. "My apologies, I really didn\'t want to have to resort to something like this to win the match."
