The giant staff was upon Tang Wulin in an instant.

This was the third Unyielding Staff Technique, Supporting Heaven and Earth!

Tang Wulin stopped in mid-air as a loud dragon's roar erupted from his body, and his right arm instantly turned a bluish-purple color before being whipped through the air. Lightning God Whip!

It wasn't that he didn't want to withstand the attack to absorb the power of laws; the attack was simply too powerful for him to take.

"Boom!"

The Lightning God Whip struck the Coiling Dragon Staff, and Qiangu Zhangting's body suddenly began to glow as if it were made of light. All of the shattered laws were reciprocated to him by the Coiling Dragon Staff, and he descended from above before stomping a foot down onto the staff.

Even though the Lightning God Whip had stopped the Coiling Dragon Staff's descent, Tang Wulin felt as if his body were about to shatter, and the laws around him were constantly in a loop of breaking and mending. His body began to absorb these shattered laws, but the powerful suction force of the Coiling Dragon Staff was also reciprocating these laws toward Qiangu Zhangting.

All of a sudden, Qiangu Zhangting suddenly faltered in mid-air, and the time around him seemed to have also paused for an instant.

This wasn't Time Reversal; it was Time Stop!

Tang Wulin had used Time Reversal in the Trial of Five Gods, so he couldn't use it now as doing so would blow his cover. However, due to the improvements he had made in his spiritual power, he was able to control his own spiritual domain with a greater level of precision.

As the split-second pause took place, Tang Wulin let loose a loud cry, and a string of dull thunderclaps rang out around him.

The lightning erupted forth as Rainbow Law to force back the Coiling Dragon Staff, and Tang Wulin flew out of the area encompassed by the staff's suction force. 

Only then did Qiangu Zhangting's foot stomp down onto the Coiling Dragon Staff, which came crashing down, causing the earth to tremor violently. Qiangu Zhangting's entire body had turned a scorching white light, and right at this moment, specks of light also began to appear all over Tang Wulin's body.

Those were a series of bluish-purple specks of light, which transformed into a suit of sapphire-like battle armor that quickly encapsulated his entire body.

This was none other than Tang Wulin's Dragon Moon Song battle armor. With Tang Wulin's understanding of metal and disguise abilities, it was naturally a simple task to turn his battle armor a bluish-purple color.

As soon as he donned the suit of battle armor, Tang Wulin's aura took an abrupt turn, and his dragon's repulse became several times more powerful than before, allowing it forcibly keep the suction force of Supporting Heaven and Earth at bay.

At the same time, countless bolts of lighting erupted from Tang Wulin's body to form a forest of lightning.

This was the first time that Tang Wulin had retaliated!

A hint of disdain appeared in Qiangu Zhangting's eyes as scorching white light flashed over his entire body. As expected, in the face of his Unyielding Staff Techniques, his opponent had been forced to use his battle armor first.

However, in the next instant, he was suddenly struck by a sense of great peril, and he reflexively took a step backward, upon which his body seemed to have been sucked into the Coiling Dragon Staff.

A bluish-purple fist then appeared out of thin air before striking the spot where he had been standing before. Under the illumination of the forest of lightning, the Coiling Dragon Staff was made to look even more imposing.

"Qiangu Zhangting has gained an advantage by forcing his opponent to don his suit of three-word battle armor first. Having said that, Yu Longyue's three-word battle armor is truly a sight to behold. Are those complex patterns all core circuits? Can a suit of three-word battle armor handle so many core circuits? What kind of materials have to be used to facilitate that? This is the first time we've seen Yu Longyue's battle armor, and I'm sure the battle will only become more exciting from here onward."

As Ai Fei had expected, Yu Longyue wasn't going to lose that easily, but the fact that he had been forced to summon his battle armor first was already a concession.

At this point, Tang Wulin had already arrived at the spot where Qiangu Zhangting had been standing before, and he stomped his foot straight down toward the Coiling Dragon Staff.

"Roar!" The giant white dragon immediately unleashed a white breath up toward Tang Wulin.

The breath was infused with the power of laws, and the giant white dragon was somehow completely fearless even in the face of Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King aura.

A hint of a smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. He had released his battle armor first not because he had actually been forced to; it was just that with his battle armor to protect him, he would be able to take more of a beating!

Tang Wulin crossed his arms before him to withstand the dragon's breath, as if he had been caught off guard. His battle armor began to glow with scintillating light, but the dragon's repulse on its surface was quickly melting away.

The Coiling Dragon Staff suddenly vanished, and Qiangu Zhangting appeared behind Tang Wulin before sweeping his staff viciously into Tang Wulin's back.

As a result, Tang Wulin was sent flying like a cannonball before crashing heavily into the protective barrier into the distance, much to the shock of all of the spectators.

However, before he fell onto the ground, a pair of wings spread open on his back, and he performed an agile somersault before flying up toward Qiangu Zhangting.

Qiangu Zhangting's eyes widened with incredulity upon seeing this. How did his battle armor possess such insane defensive prowess? It seemed that it hadn't been impacted much at all by his staff strike!

Unbeknownst to him, his opponent was none other than one of only two Divine Blacksmiths on the entire continent.

Tang Wulin's Dragon Moon Song battle armor was constructed from soul refined alloys comprised of a staggering number of metals, so its defensive prowess definitely stood at the pinnacle of all suits of three-word battle armor.

The reason why it was so difficult to forge a suit of four-word battle armor for himself was precisely because his suit of three-word battle armor was too powerful.

In the spectator stands, Xie Xie was watching the match in a perplexed manner. "Why is Boss being so passive? This doesn't make sense! Isn't he really pissed off at that Qiangu Zhangting guy?"

He was very well-versed with Tang Wulin's style of battle, which was extremely aggressive and overflowing with explosive power, and this was the first time he had ever seen Tang Wulin being beaten so comprehensively by someone who didn't even seem to be more powerful than him.

Even the matches in the Trial of Five Gods hadn't been this one-sided!

"Hehe, you're not very bright, are you? Take a good look; it's not that simple. I'm guessing that Wulin has struck some gold; those staff techniques are quite interesting," Er Ming said with a smile as he tossed jerky into his own mouth.

Yuanen Yehui nodded in agreement. "Captain is always making breakthroughs during battle, and this is very much out of character for him, so he must be plotting something."

Er Ming said, "I can sense a will to contend with the power of laws from that kid's staff techniques. I can sense the fury of the plane, but it's unable to do anything to him; that's the special nature of his martial soul. It's able to resist the will of the plane, and it derives its power from destroying planar laws. You two probably can't sense it through the protective barrier, but in a one-on-one battle, you'd have very little chance against him, given your current level of understanding of the laws of heaven and earth."

Yuanen Yehui turned to him with a surprised expression. "Is he that powerful?"
