Feeling the immense force transmitted from the hammer handle, Tang Hao immediately realized that Quan Li's soul power level was at least level ninety-four or higher.
It should be known that Yue Guan and Gui Mei were also at the same level of strength.
Due to a hasty defense, Tang Hao didn't swing the hammer handle to unleash the true power of the Clear Sky Hammer. However, even so, Quan Li's punch caused a noticeable bend in the hammer handle.
Even though he hadn't fully unleashed its power, there were very few Title Douluo in the soul master world who could reach this level of strength.
This alone showed that Quan Li's strength was, in some ways, even greater than Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
But with this, a problem arose.
This meant that Quan Li had been hiding his strength all along, even during the Spirit Hall's attacks.
Tang Hao didn't have time to think deeply about the implications behind this.
Because Quan Li's next punch was about to arrive.
The punch that struck the hammer's surface instantly converted the impact force into pressing force. The unexpected force and conversion made it impossible for Tang Hao to effectively swing the Clear Sky Hammer.
Taking advantage of this brief stagnation, Quan Li's left fist, carrying a sharp edge, went straight for Tang Hao's ribs.
Faced with this strike, Tang Hao's pupils constricted, and his body involuntarily chose to retreat.
With this step back, Tang Hao retreated directly from the center of the field to the edge.
Quan Li didn't choose to pursue at this moment, but instead lowered his head to look at his right fist.
Having personally experienced the Clear Sky Hammer, Quan Li felt an unprecedented hardness and power from the collision.
His first punch looked powerful, but it didn't cause any damage to Tang Hao.
Quan Li clenched his right fist, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and raised his eyebrows at Tang Hao, saying, "How about it? Is this old man's iron fist worthy of your attention?"
Tang Hao, who had retreated, recalled the sharp, spear-like punch, and imagined his body being pierced through.
Tang Hao hadn't felt this kind of concrete threat for a long time.
Quan Li's punch had completely ignited Tang Hao's long-dormant warrior blood.
Tang Hao completely put away his contempt and respectfully said to Quan Li, "Senior's strength is not to be underestimated by Hao. May I ask for Senior's title?"
The proud Tang Hao, under the strength displayed by Quan Li, finally showed respect.
"'Whale Fist,' remember it well, you are the first outsider to know my title."
Tang Hao lowered his body, held the hammer handle with both hands, and hung the hammer head sideways by his side, appearing to be fully prepared.
In response to Quan Li's answer, Tang Hao replied, "I am honored. I am Haotian, please enlighten me!"
Tang Hao's body shot out like a cannonball. Although he was a strong assault-type soul master, his powerful explosive force gave him unparalleled speed.
On the way to Quan Li, he swung the hammer handle from bottom to top in a large arc, using inertia and centrifugal force to maximize the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.
The dark black iron hammer, even without using soul skills, would emit a domineering aura that suppressed everything.
This time, Tang Hao condensed all of his power onto the Clear Sky Hammer. Its power was such that an ordinary Title Douluo would have their internal organs shattered if they took a hit.
The pure collision of force against force completely stirred Quan Yi's heart at this moment.
This simple attack made Quan Yi feel the essence of the Great Dao.
When the two attacks collided, the entire world lost its color. For a short time, the entire surrounding space lost its sound.
Black energy fluctuations erupted from the point of collision between the fist and the hammer, instantly crushing the surrounding ground into powder.
The violent vibration, along with the shockwave, continued to spread to Quan Yi's location.
Faced with such an impact, even two Soul Douluo dared not be careless. They immediately released their martial souls to withstand the impact for the students behind them.
In the face of the conflict between Title Douluo, those with weak strength didn't even have the qualification to watch.
To prevent the harm from spreading to everyone, Quan Yi's feet rose with majestic fire element energy, enveloping everyone, and then lifted them into the air, turning into a transparent giant dragon that quickly flew into the air, away from the center of the explosion.
And when everyone looked down at the forest through the transparent body of the Red Dragon, they all took a deep breath of cold air.
Because the previous explosion was only a prelude, the real explosion was yet to come.
The departure of the crowd seemed to completely remove the restrictions on the two. Quan Li and Tang Hao, after completing one collision, seemed unaffected, and seamlessly linked to the next step of action.
The fist and hammer struck together again in the next second.
This time, the explosion caused by the two triggered the roar of the entire forest.
Faced with the Clear Sky Hammer's fierce attack, Quan Li not only didn't retreat in the slightest, but also didn't fall behind in the frontal bombardment.
Even more, because the flexibility and attack frequency of the fists were far superior to the long-handled iron hammer, Quan Li was able to withstand the first blow head-on, and then preemptively swing the second blow, preventing Tang Hao from fully swinging the second blow.
"What strong power, how can a human fist compare to an iron hammer?
Also, the hardness of this hand armor is too hard. How can my Clear Sky Hammer have a feeling that it can't be knocked?"
Tang Hao now deeply realized how amazing the thin layer of iron covering Quan Li's hands was.
Tang Hao, who was also a blacksmith and had the title of Divine Craftsman, could also understand the material of the martial soul itself through the Clear Sky Hammer, especially for metal weapon martial souls.
But after his test, Quan Li's hand armor not only didn't receive any martial soul suppression from the Clear Sky Hammer, but he even felt a certain martial soul fluctuation from it that could be compared with the Clear Sky Hammer.
He had never felt this kind of feeling in all his years of traveling.
Inside the Red Dragon in mid-air, Quan Yi looked at this evenly matched duel, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, unlike Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, which had not yet been cultivated, Tang Hao's hammer, which had been fully upgraded and developed, was vastly different in power.
Even Quan Li, who had absorbed the hundred-thousand-year Evil Demon Tiger Whale King soul ring, should have been completely crushed when facing Tang Hao, who also had a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and even had six complete soul bones in his body, and whose level had reached ninety-six.
However, Quan Li showed such a mighty performance, and there was certainly a reason for it.
If you look closely at the changes produced when Quan Li's hand armor collided with Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, you can find that a faint golden glow is being released from the black iron hand armor, which is as black as ink.
And this glow had never appeared before.
