Green Light Douluo

Chapter 221: Power Belongs to Oneself

BANG!

The moment Tang Yin's fist landed on Huo Wushuang's face, a tremendous shockwave erupted. Before Huo Wushuang could react, his body was blasted away like a bullet, trailing a long streak of flame before crashing violently against the protective barrier outside the arena.

One moment, he'd been fiercely charging at Tang Yin, swearing to defeat him. The next, he was hurled out of bounds.

The abrupt shift left everyone inside and outside the arena stunned.

"How… how… Brother… my brother… was sent flying?" Huo Wu stared incredulously at Tang Yin, then numbly turned to see her brother slumped against the distant wall, her face etched with shock.

As Huo Wushuang's sister, she knew his strength better than anyone. Yet now…

Swish! Swish!

Huo Yun, Huo Yu, and the others who'd been attacking skidded to a halt, gaping at Tang Yin before turning disbelieving eyes toward Huo Wushuang's fallen form outside the arena.

"What… just happened? Am I hallucinating?"

"I didn't even see it! How did Blazing Fire Academy's Huo Wushuang get thrown out?"

Spectators with poorer vision finally registered the scene, staring blankly at Huo Wushuang groaning in pain beyond the boundary.

Students from Divine Wind Academy, Thunder Academy, and others wore equally dumbfounded expressions. As rivals, they knew Huo Wushuang's capabilities well. Yet Tang Yin had one-shot him. It was unthinkable.

"That guy… his strength is still terrifying." Shui Bing'er watched Tang Yin casually retract his fist, his demeanor utterly unruffled. Remembering their time together at Moon Pavilion, a soft, sweet smile touched her lips.

Among all the opponents here, no one understood Tang Yin's power better than she did.

"Sister, you're smiling! Do you know that Tang Yin?" Shui Yue'er, beside her, noticed the smile and asked curiously.

Shui Bing'er nodded. "I do. We spent some time together. I'm quite familiar with his strength. Blazing Fire Academy has already lost."

Her words drew the collective gaze of the entire Shui (Water) Academy team, their faces brimming with curiosity. Their eldest sister seemed… interested in this Tang Yin.

"This… this… Heavens! What an astonishing scene! The match has barely begun, yet Tang Yin of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team has sent Blazing Fire Academy's Huo Wushuang flying with a single punch!"

"Even more incredibly, he didn't even release his martial soul! And rumors say no one has ever seen his spirit rings! What level is he? What terrifying power will he display next? Let us watch with anticipation!"

The commentator, finally recovering, launched into an impassioned spiel.

"Incredible!"

"Amazing! Truly amazing!"

"Yeah! Who'd have thought Blazing Fire's captain wasn't even a match for one punch? I can't wait to see him unleash even more power!"

The initially stunned audience, spurred by the commentary, quickly masked their confusion with enthusiastic cheers, pretending they'd seen it all along.

......

VIP Seats.

Emperor Xue Ye stroked his beard contentedly at the sight of Tang Yin.

He recalled his Empress had been wanting to invite Tang Yin to the palace. Yes, it seemed he should arrange that soon. Whether for himself or for his Empress.

Beside him, Ning Fengzhi watched Tang Yin, thinking of his daughter Ning Rongrong's affection for the youth. He regarded Tang Yin like a prospective son-in-law, his satisfaction growing.

'So this is the Tang Yin Her Holiness the Pope has been searching for…'

On the other side, Spirit Hall's Platinum Bishop Salas recalled a confidential order issued by the Pope. He scrutinized Tang Yin – the resemblance was uncanny.

Previously, for unknown reasons, the Pope had temporarily rescinded the order. Otherwise, capturing Tang Yin would have been a monumental achievement.

'I'll keep an eye on him and report back to Spirit Hall. Let Her Holiness decide.'

Salas began scheming.

'Tang Yin… you truly remain an enigma.'

Disguised as Prince Xue Qinghe amidst the crowd, Qian Renxue stared intently at Tang Yin. Recalling Bibi Dong's secret order and her own intelligence on Tang Yin, she found his power increasingly incomprehensible.

Yet her interest in him only deepened.

Whether because of Bibi Dong's order or Tang Yin's monstrous talent, she was determined to bring him under her wing.

......

"So strong!"

"He defeated the captain instantly!"

"Damn it! What level is he?!"

The Blazing Fire Academy team finally snapped out of their shock. A suffocating pressure bore down on them as they looked at Tang Yin.

If their strongest member, Captain Huo Wushuang, was taken down in one punch, what chance did they have?

"Don't lose heart! Give it everything!"

"Take him down together!"

"Third Spirit Skill: Rain of Fire Sparks!"

"Fourth Spirit Skill: Blazing Sun!"

Huo Wu held absolute authority within the team. At her command, one member instantly unleashed his third spirit skill. Huo Wu immediately followed with her fourth.

The two skills fused seamlessly, amplifying the power of Huo Wu's Blazing Sun. A massive fireball, its energy tightly condensed, shot from her hands toward Tang Yin.

She knew Tang Yin was strong, but she refused to believe he could emerge unscathed from her strongest attack. Beating him was their only chance.

"Not bad! Decent power!"

Tang Yin praised lightly. Huo Wu's Blazing Sun was impressive, pushing the limits of what a Spirit Ancestor could achieve!

However, as the colossal fireball hurtled toward him, Tang Yin didn't move. He simply raised a single hand. An equally massive sphere of fire materialized before his palm. He compressed and refined its energy to a level instantly lethal to Huo Wu and her team, then casually pushed it forward to meet her attack.

After his secluded training, Tang Yin's control over his own abilities and the power of the fire-attribute immortal herb spirit had become effortless. He could manifest and manipulate it at will.

This, to Tang Yin, was the truer path to wielding power: Power Belongs to Oneself. Mastery meant absolute, unconstrained command over one's own energies.

The next step was simply refining that control – greater precision, efficiency, and artistry.

BOOM!

Tang Yin's attack collided with Huo Wu's fireball mid-air, erupting into a blinding inferno.

"Argh!"

"Aaah!!"

Amidst cries of pain, the entire Blazing Fire Academy team was blasted out of the arena by the explosive shockwave.
