As Yang Wudi pointed his Soul-Breaking Spear at him, Dai Chengfeng showed no surprise.
After all, the White Tiger Overlord Spear Technique was the very reason he had crossed paths with Yang Wushuang and also the aspect he cared about most.
Thus, it was only natural that Yang Wushuang would enthusiastically describe the overwhelming dominance of the White Tiger Overlord Spear Technique to Yang Wudi upon returning to the Breaking Clan.
Dai Chengfeng even speculated…
Yang Wudi's decision to come to Wu'an City wasn't solely due to the recent relentless pursuit by the Spirit Hall. It was likely also driven by curiosity about the supposedly unparalleled spear technique Yang Wushuang had described.
Although Yang Wudi prioritized alchemy, his spear skills were never neglected.
Hearing from his younger brother about a spear technique that completely defied the pursuit of ultimate finesse—instead relying purely on sheer, overwhelming force—naturally piqued his interest.
Even before Dugu Bo's appearance, the strength of the White Tiger Overlord Spear Technique might have been one of the conditions Yang Wudi considered when deciding whether to accept Dai Chengfeng's recruitment offer.
Therefore, Dai Chengfeng nodded. "Alright."
"Good!"
Yang Wudi stepped back a few paces, twirling his spear in intricate patterns, eager as he said, "Please, Your Highness!"
"Hold on!"
At this moment, Dugu Bo deliberately pretended not to understand Yang Wudi's intentions and stepped between Dai Chengfeng and Yang Wudi, eyeing Yang Wudi strangely.
"Old Goat."
"You want His Highness to demonstrate his spear technique—I have no objections. Perhaps this is part of your negotiation terms."
"But you said 'please'?"
"How could I forget that you're a Soul Douluo while Chengfeng is merely a Soul Elder?"
"'Please?!'"
Dai Chengfeng marveled at how well Dugu Bo played along to win hearts over.
Indeed, those who became Title Douluos were far from simple.
With this thought, he smiled and stood up. "Senior, I've heard that Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan is proud and upright. Naturally, he wouldn't do something as dishonorable as bullying someone weaker."
"No need to worry."
Seeing Dugu Bo question him, Dai Chengfeng took the initiative to explain himself. Yang Wudi's eyes instantly softened, and he quickly replied:
"Prince Chengfeng is correct. I naturally wouldn't bully someone weaker."
"In a moment, I'll suppress my soul power to Rank 30 and engage in a fair battle with Prince Chengfeng."
"If Prince Chengfeng can withstand ten moves from me, I'll willingly admit defeat!"
"That sounds more reasonable."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly, stepping aside.
His eyes, however, gleamed with amusement…
At the same rank, did he think Chengfeng had no chance of winning? Could he even last ten moves?
Underestimating Chengfeng, Old Goat—you're in for a rude awakening!
Yang Wudi didn't notice Dugu Bo's amused gaze and instead turned back to Dai Chengfeng, giving a slight bow, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Prince Chengfeng, dare you fight me?"
Dai Chengfeng didn't respond but flicked his storage ring, causing a faint glow to emerge.
Buzz~
Instantly, a jet-black halberd adorned with crimson veins appeared in Dai Chengfeng's hand.
Roar—
The White Tiger martial soul emerged as Dai Chengfeng stood tall, his golden-blue heterochromatic eyes burning with a blood-gold killing intent so intense it seemed tangible.
Though he hadn't spoken, Yang Wudi already understood Dai Chengfeng's meaning.
Fight!
"Hahaha…"
Yang Wudi threw his head back in laughter, his face full of admiration. He then bellowed loudly, "Good!"
"Your Highness, be careful!"
With that—
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he thrust his Soul-Breaking Spear forward. The yellow soul ring beneath his feet flared brightly as he shouted:
"Second Soul Skill: Pierce!"
Sss—
At this moment, the Soul-Breaking Spear shot forward like a black bolt of lightning, carrying an overwhelmingly sharp momentum straight toward Dai Chengfeng's throat.
The air, fragile like paper, was pierced effortlessly, emitting a shrill, ear-splitting whistle akin to ghostly wails.
Watching the spear's power, Dai Chengfeng's eyes instantly narrowed.
Yang Wudi truly lived up to his reputation!
If that's the case!
The next second, Dai Chengfeng's fingers twitched slightly, and the halberd in his right hand spun once in his grip.
Then, accompanied by a torrential gale…
White Tiger Overlord Spear—City Destroyer!
Dai Chengfeng unleashed all his soul power without reservation, like water bursting through a broken dam, channeling it ceaselessly into the halberd.
In the next instant, the halberd erupted with a crimson glow as a demonic-eye-like core array on its shaft lit up.
"Slash!"
Dai Chengfeng swung the halberd downward with tremendous force, unleashing a power capable of shaking mountains and rivers, surging toward Yang Wudi.
Overwhelming and inescapable!
Boom—
In a single move, the explosive force radiated outward from the two fighters like a tsunami, spreading chaotically in all directions.
The ground beneath their feet couldn't withstand the pressure, cracking with a "crack, crack." Jagged fissures resembling writhing dragons spread out in all directions.
Dai Chengfeng felt a mountainous force crash into him, sending his body uncontrollably retreating backward.
His feet gouged deep trenches into the ground, each step leaving a deep imprint.
After retreating three steps, he barely managed to steady himself.
On the other hand, Yang Wudi fared much worse.
The overwhelming power of the White Tiger Overlord Spear far exceeded his expectations. He was sent flying backward like a kite cut from its string.
Bam—!
Only after crashing heavily into the wall behind him did he finally stop.
"This… is the White Tiger Overlord Spear Technique?!"
Yang Wudi's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that Dai Chengfeng, a mere Soul Elder, could unleash such terrifying power, forcing him—a fellow Soul Elder—to such a sorry state in just one move.
After a brief silence, Yang Wudi slowly raised his hand to wipe his mouth, his eyes brimming with excitement.
His entire body trembled slightly from the thrill.
Yang Wushuang had only told him…
That Dai Chengfeng's spear technique could shake mountains and rivers, arguably the greatest spear technique under heaven.
Beyond that, Yang Wushuang admitted he himself couldn't fully comprehend it.
But Yang Wudi understood!
This spear strike appeared to lack any formal structure, simply pouring all soul power into a downward slash with the halberd.
But!
The technique behind this strike was a supreme 'skill' beyond compare!
Even though Yang Wudi prided himself on decades of spear mastery, able to mimic others' techniques with near-perfect accuracy after just a glance, he still couldn't fathom how Dai Chengfeng had done it!
"Though it was just a spear technique, I instinctively felt as if I were facing the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Hao Tian Sect…"
"Frightening indeed!"
Despite his shock, Yang Wudi had no intention of conceding.
In fact, the thought of battling a spear master of Dai Chengfeng's caliber filled his eyes with excitement.
And on the other side, Dai Chengfeng felt the same.
He even felt a stinging pain in his chest. "I blocked this spear strike, yet somehow, a force still penetrated everything and struck my chest…"
"If I didn't possess an indestructible body, I'd already be seriously injured."
What a formidable Soul-Breaking Spear, what a technique—Pierce!
If he could integrate this spear technique, possessing attack power akin to an extreme offensive martial soul, into the White Tiger Overlord Spear…
For a moment, a flicker of excitement passed through Dai Chengfeng's eyes.
Though he didn't know if it was possible—after all, the Soul-Breaking Spear's techniques were essentially unique soul skills tied to the spear itself—it wasn't in Dai Chengfeng's nature to dismiss something without trying.
Thus, Dai Chengfeng raised his halberd horizontally, pointing it at Yang Wudi. "Again!"
