Testing Grandmaster

"Why didn't you just say so from the start?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo withdrew his Martial Soul Avatar. He had never truly expected to get a 100,000-Year Soul Bone. Obtaining a 50,000-Year one was already quite good, especially since it was a Torso Soul Bone, second only to a Head Soul Bone.

"Big Brother!"

The several elders were extremely unwilling to accept this. After all, that was a 50,000-Year Torso Soul Bone, and an exceptionally complete one at that.

"Go and bring it over."

First Elder signaled for someone to retrieve the Soul Bone. The other party had come right to their doorstep this time, clearly intending to make them bleed a little. Without paying some price, that Old Crocodile would never let the matter rest, to say nothing of the fact that Qian Daoliu stood behind him.

Moreover, they were in the wrong. If things really escalated, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

"That old dragon gave birth to a fine son. I truly underestimated you before."

After receiving the Soul Bone, Golden Crocodile Douluo gave Yu Yuanzhen a deep look. After speaking those meaningful words, he turned and left.

His objective had been achieved. It was time to return.

"Yu Yuanzhen, this Old Man is very disappointed in you."

Looking at the surrounding ruins, First Elder forcibly suppressed his anger.

Losing that Soul Bone was a minor matter. The crucial thing was that they had incurred Spirit Hall's hatred. The consequences of that influence were impossible to estimate.

Earlier, that good-for-nothing son of Yu Yuanzhen had published his theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, causing the family to be rejected by numerous forces. Now, he had caused such a huge disaster again.

"You no longer need to concern yourself with the family's affairs. Go back and cultivate in seclusion. Come out again after you become a Super Douluo."

Leaving behind those words, First Elder departed with a dark expression. The other elders' expressions were also extremely unpleasant.

Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been utterly screwed over this time.

"Big Brother."

At this moment, Yu Luomian, who had finally found a chance to speak, stepped forward and looked worriedly and angrily at the surrounding ruins.

Over the past few years, the two brothers had finally managed to obtain some authority from those elders, but now all their efforts had come to nothing. The cause of everything was that wretched son.

"This is Xiao Gang's handwriting. It should be unmistakable."

Looking at the letter in his hand, Yu Yuanzhen was also furious and disappointed.

When will that rebellious son finally grow up and become sensible?

"Pass down the order. Yu Xiaogang has been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Anything he does has nothing to do with our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

After pondering for a moment, Yu Yuanzhen ultimately could not bring himself to capture that son and bring him back.

Otherwise, the son would surely have an even harder time getting along within the Sect. It would be better to let him make his way in the outside world.

Leaving aside Yu Yuanzhen's decision, in Spirit City on the other side, Tian Hao followed the newly released Yu Xiaogang out of the city gates. After confirming his route, he used Ling Yuan's flying Soul Skill to take a detour and wait ahead.

They had kept Yu Xiaogang under house arrest in his dormitory the entire time. Only today had they released him and allowed him to leave.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking the road?"

Seeing a burly figure completely shrouded in a Cloak blocking the way, Yu Xiaogang, who was riding a horse, looked around. When he saw no one nearby, he immediately became vigilant.

Could the other party have come for me?

He had deliberately chosen a remote road, but he had not expected someone to still target him.

"Who I am isn't important. What matters is that you recognize this hammer."

Wearing a black robe, Tian Hao placed one foot on the enormous hammerhead and struck a pose. Even his voice had become low and deep.

This Hollow Clear Sky Hammer had taken him a great deal of effort to make. In the end, he had even mixed pigments to color it.

He had even asked Qian Xunji to have someone obtain some blood from members of the Clear Sky Sect, using it to replicate that heavy and domineering Soul Power characteristic.

"The Clear Sky Hammer? Are you from the Clear Sky Sect?"

Yu Xiaogang understood. That heavy and domineering Soul Power was extremely special, and only members of the Clear Sky Sect possessed it.

"Why have you stopped me?"

Yu Xiaogang was puzzled. He could not understand why this person had blocked his way.

"I heard that the current Saintess of Spirit Hall possesses Twin Martial Souls and will inevitably become our great enemy in the future. Since our Upper Three Sects stand together, you should be able to guess why I came looking for you."

Tian Hao spoke from beneath his hood. This was also a test for Yu Xiaogang. At the same time, his gaze fell on Yu Xiaogang's Belt.

It was a Belt inlaid with numerous pieces of jade. It should be that Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

In the original story, Yu Xiaogang had said when Tang San was young that he had obtained this Belt thirty years ago. At that time, Qian Renxue was definitely not yet thirty years old. Clearly, she had obtained this Belt long ago, and it had probably been kept in her dormitory all along.

"You want to obtain information about Spirit Hall's Saintess from me?"

Yu Xiaogang understood. His expression immediately changed, and he narrowed his eyes as he said, "What if I refuse to tell you?"

"Kill you, then frame Spirit Hall for it and make Spirit Hall fight your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Tian Hao replied in a low voice, his words cold and domineering.

Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, and he was utterly speechless. However, this truly was the Clear Sky Sect's usual domineering style.

"I can tell you everything about Spirit Hall's Saintess, even some of Spirit Hall's secrets. But how can you guarantee that you'll let me leave afterward?"

Pondering how to escape, Yu Xiaogang naturally would not truly believe that line about the Upper Three Sects standing together.

"I swear in the name of the Clear Sky Sect that after you, Yu Xiaogang, finish speaking, I will let you leave safely and won't harm a single hair on your head. If I break this oath, may every member of the Clear Sky Sect die."

Tian Hao swore without hesitation. After all, he was swearing in the name of the Clear Sky Sect. Even if the oath came true, it would have nothing to do with him, Tian Hao—not even half a Copper Soul Coin's worth.

This oath made Yu Xiaogang believe him. Without any hesitation, he revealed everything he knew.

"Spirit Hall's Saintess is named Bibi Dong. Both of her Martial Souls are top-tier imperial Martial Souls: the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. She is currently focusing on cultivating the Death Spider Emperor. Her Soul Skills include..."

"Besides that, the Angel Clan within Spirit Hall also possesses an entire set of Angel Soul Bones. It is said to have been left behind by the Angel God. At present, they have a 99,999-year age limit. Once someone can refine all six Soul Bones, they can raise them to a ten-year age limit and transform them into a Soul Bone Set. The power of that Soul Bone Set and its Soul Bone Skills can connect with each other..."

"I don't know much about the several enshrined elders of Spirit Hall, but I do know a little..."

Watching Yu Xiaogang rattle things off like fried beans, Tian Hao blinked blankly.

Yu Xiaogang, are you really this decisive?

And Bibi Dong, you idiot. Exactly how many secrets of Spirit Hall did you reveal to this fool?

"That is everything I know. Our Upper Three Sects must become vigilant toward Spirit Hall. Qian Xunji is an extremely ambitious person, and he will certainly make a major move in the future."

At the end, Yu Xiaogang was filled with wariness and hatred toward Qian Xunji. At the same time, he felt indescribably exhilarated.

Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall, my revenge begins today. You will absolutely Regret this in the future.

"I'm very satisfied with your answer. This place is just right to become your burial ground, Yu Xiaogang."

Taking his foot off the enormous Hollow Clear Sky Hammer's head, Tian Hao smiled brilliantly.

That had only been a test just now. The result was obvious: Yu Xiaogang had failed once again.

"Didn't you swear that you would let me leave?"

Yu Xiaogang looked stunned. You clearly swore a vicious oath earlier.

"I swore it in the name of the Clear Sky Sect, but I never said I couldn't break it."

Pulling back his hood, Tian Hao revealed his brilliant smile and returned his voice to normal.

"It's you!"

That familiar face and voice twisted Yu Xiaogang's handsome features. At the same time, he understood that things would probably not end well for him today.

"Giddy-up!"

Without hesitation, Yu Xiaogang immediately swung the whip and lashed the horse. He also condensed his Soul Power, preparing at any moment to summon his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao.

Tian Hao: "Grandmaster, were you surprised to see me? Was it a delightful surprise?"
