Douluo Dalu: The World Suppressing Douluo

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Victory and a Rematch, Hidden Weapons and the Sword!



Looking at Lin Ye standing so close in front of him, Tang San summoned all his strength, fully activating his Mysterious Heaven Skill, pushing his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Purple Demon Eye to their limits. He channeled all his power into his Profound Jade Hand for one final strike against Lin Ye.

"One last move."

As Tang San shouted and rushed in, Lin Ye frowned slightly, though his expression remained calm.

But this time, Lin Ye had no intention of dragging the fight out any longer.

If you want to decide the outcome with a single blow, then I'll accompany you.

With Tang San pushing his strength to the maximum, his Profound Jade Hand gleamed with a white jade-like brilliance. His right fist tore through the air, creating a sharp whistle as it hurtled toward Lin Ye.

At this point, Tang San's power could rival Lin Ye's base strength, but unfortunately for him, Lin Ye had yet to use his Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Boom!

As Tang San charged in, Lin Ye suddenly stomped hard on the ground, vanishing from sight in an instant, leaving only a faint shadow behind.

In the next second, they clashed mid-air.

Tang San's eyes remained unwavering, and with a roar, he swung his Profound Jade Hand, aiming straight at Lin Ye.

But instead of dodging, Lin Ye met the attack head-on, throwing his own punch to counter.

Even though Tang San's punch carried the same force as Lin Ye's raw physical strength, Lin Ye still had the Nine Yang Divine Skill at his disposal.

As he threw his right fist, Lin Ye unleashed his full strength, simultaneously activating the Nine Yang Divine Skill. A golden glow enveloped his entire body, the Nine Yang True Qi surging within him.

With the added power of the Nine Yang True Qi, Lin Ye's punch now packed a force of nearly two thousand pounds!

This wasn't just strength Tang San could handle— even a top-tier Beast Martial Soul Master with a fully-activated Martial Soul would struggle against Lin Ye's current power without enhancement techniques. Tang San stood no chance.

With a deafening bang, the two fists collided.

Boom!

A resounding crash echoed through the air.

Tang San's face paled as he felt a tremendous force surge through his arm, leaving his fist numb. The overwhelming power sent him flying backward.

After landing, he staggered back several steps before finally managing to regain his balance.

"What immense strength."

After the impact, the effect of his Profound Jade Hand wore off, and Tang San tightly clenched his still-numb right hand. He looked up at Lin Ye, shock filling his heart.

Thanks to his training in the Mysterious Heaven Skill and years of blacksmithing, Tang San had always believed his strength was considerable. He could easily lift a 300 to 400-pound forging hammer, and his strength exceeded 500 pounds. With his Mysterious Heaven Skill fully activated, he estimated that his peak punch could exert nearly a thousand pounds of force!

But even so, he had been no match for Lin Ye. Not only had their fists collided head-on, but the impact had sent him flying, forcing him to stumble back more than ten paces to stabilize himself.

This immense disparity meant Lin Ye's strength far surpassed his own.

Could Lin Ye's punch have exceeded a thousand pounds of force?

A turbulent storm of disbelief raged within Tang San's heart, leaving him stunned.

In contrast to Tang San's shock, Lin Ye calmly retracted his fist, his expression serene.

Though he had sent Tang San flying, Lin Ye hadn't even used his full power.

Initially, Lin Ye had intended to fully unleash his Nine Yang Divine Skill, but the moment their fists met, he realized Tang San's strength was not as overwhelming as he had anticipated.

If he had fully activated his Nine Yang True Qi, Lin Ye's punch could have exerted nearly two thousand pounds of force. If that had happened, Tang San's arm might have been broken from the impact.

Thus, right before their fists collided, Lin Ye hastily restrained the Nine Yang True Qi, using only the protective aspects of the Nine Yang Divine Skill without fully tapping into its offensive potential.

Even so, the protective force of the Nine Yang True Qi had been enough to knock Tang San back.

"I lost."

After a moment of shock, Tang San let out a long sigh, acknowledging his defeat.

He had been impressed before, seeing how easily Lin Ye wielded the heavy forging hammer, but because of his own Mysterious Heaven Skill, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, and Profound Jade Hand, Tang San hadn't felt he was far behind. He had thought that while Lin Ye might possess greater raw strength, strength alone didn't determine combat prowess.

However, after this exchange, where he was utterly overpowered, Tang San no longer held that belief.

He had hidden his abilities, but evidently, Lin Ye had done the same…

Tang San couldn't help but feel a tinge of self-mockery.

"You're not using your full strength, are you?"

As Tang San stood there, feeling conflicted, Lin Ye's calm voice broke through his thoughts.

Tang San's head snapped up in surprise.

How does he know?

"I noticed you've been working on that piece of iron in your forge for a while. Every time I visited your place, you seemed to be crafting something. And today, I saw that wrist guard on your arm. I'm guessing that's what you've been working on."

"It's a weapon, right? If you spent all that time crafting it, I assume it's your trump card."

"Throughout our fight, your gaze kept drifting toward that wrist guard. It's clear that's your most powerful tool," Lin Ye explained, answering the question on Tang San's mind.

"You may have admitted defeat, but it's too early to give up. Let's have a real fight— you with your wrist guard, and I'll use my sword. How about it?"

Lin Ye fixed his gaze on Tang San, his tone confident.

"My sleeve arrow, huh…"

Tang San muttered under his breath, his hand brushing over the hidden weapon on his wrist.

Then, taking a deep breath, he raised his head to meet Lin Ye's gaze, his eyes brimming with determination.

"Fine, I accept! You'll use your sword, and I'll use my hidden weapons. This time, we'll truly decide the winner!"

"Hidden weapons, is it?" Lin Ye's eyes flickered with curiosity.

"Alright! Show me what your sleeve arrow can do!" Lin Ye said with a calm yet eager expression, gripping the hilt of his sword. In one smooth motion, he drew the blade from the scabbard on his back, his eyes locked onto Tang San.
