Finally, No Need to Die

Everyone from the Clear Sky Sect was left speechless.

"All right, you lot can leave now." Tang Wei waved, signaling Tang Zhan and the others to depart.

After Tang Zhan and the others had left, Tang Wei looked at his son. "Hao'er, since you've already broken through to Level Sixty, have Fifth Uncle accompany you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for your Sixth Soul Ring."

Tang Wei was especially satisfied with Tang Hao, his extraordinarily talented son. At only twenty-four, he had already broken through to Soul Emperor, and his talent far surpassed that of his eldest son, Tang Xiao. He was Tang Wei's ideal candidate to succeed him as the next sect master.

He only needed some experience. In the future, he would surely be able to take on the burden of leading the Number One Sect in the World from Tang Wei's hands.

"Father, there's no need for such trouble. I can go alone. A mere Twenty to Thirty Thousand Year Soul Beast is more than manageable for me."

Tang Hao spoke indifferently.

"No."

Hearing this, Tang Wei refused without hesitation.

Although Clear Sky Sect currently had his father, Tang Chen, and no one dared provoke them, there was no guarantee that someone would not strike in secret.

What had happened to Yu Xinglong back then was a warning.

"Then, Father, can I go with Brother Hao and Fifth Uncle too? I'm going to be bored to death staying in the sect every day."

Tang Yuehua pleaded sweetly.

But how could Tang Wei possibly agree? Just as he was about to refuse, a vigorous, powerful voice rang out within the great hall. The voice seemed to come from all directions, making the hall tremble and shake.

"What? Hao'er has already broken through to Level Sixty?"

As the voice sounded, a black-haired, black-eyed middle-aged man with handsome features walked in from outside the great hall. It was none other than Tang Chen, who had already stepped down as sect master and become the Clear Sky Sect's First Elder.

He was one of the Two Peaks of the Soul Master World, alongside Qian Daoliu.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"First Elder!"

Tang Wei and the Six Elders leaped down from the platform. Everyone gathered around Tang Chen and respectfully bowed.

"No need for such formalities. I was simply tired of staying in the sect alone and wanted to go out for some fresh air." Tang Chen rubbed Tang Yuehua's little head and smiled. "Yuehua, haven't you always wanted to go out? Grandfather will take you out this time, and we'll also hunt for Hao'er's Sixth Soul Ring."

"You lot wouldn't object, would you?" He directed those words at Tang Wei and the others.

At those words, Tang Wei and the Six Elders wore bitter smiles. How could they dare? Besides, with Tang Chen present, there was no need to worry about Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua's safety.

"Hao'er, you have already learned the Haotian Nine Skills, our Clear Sky Sect's ultimate art second only to the Great Sumeru Hammer. But there are still deficiencies in your mastery. After obtaining your Sixth Soul Ring, I will personally teach you. Afterward, go to Slaughter City to gain experience. Flowers raised in a greenhouse can never truly grow."

Tang Chen patted Tang Hao's shoulder, his heart filled with expectations for his grandson.

"Yes, Grandfather."

Tang Hao's voice carried barely concealed excitement and exhilaration.

Ever since Yu Xinglong's accident ten years ago, his father had no longer allowed him to leave alone.

Even when he went out, at least one elder would accompany him.

Ten whole years had nearly driven him sick with frustration.

Now that he finally had a chance to go out and train on his own, he could not have wanted it more.

Meanwhile, Lin Hanye had already completed the Third Simulation at an inn in a small town bordering the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Finally, I don't have to die."

During the Third Simulation,

Lin Hanye had lived through ten years.

He had neither gone alone to hunt for a Soul Ring like in the First Simulation, only to die at the jaws of a Soul Beast while absorbing it.

Nor had he brought a deadly calamity upon himself by provoking Bibi Dong, as he had in the Second Simulation.

Instead, he had cultivated honestly and diligently, traveling throughout Douluo Continent with Liu Erlong and Shao Xin.

Even when facing the ever-present threat that Qian Xunji might come for them at any moment, he had decisively separated from Shao Xin and Liu Erlong for the time being. Using Thousand Faces, he hid away with Bibi Dong, whose appearance had been changed.

The two of them lived peaceful lives, keeping out of sight for several consecutive years.

Of course, Lin Hanye had not been idle while hiding. He collected Whale Rubber while researching cultivation techniques.

Because Bibi Dong had achieved "Qi flowing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians" after refining the Narcissus Jade Bone,

Lin Hanye had spent five years researching a true cultivation technique based on her condition.

He named it the Ice Heart Skill.

Although this cultivation technique still had certain limitations, requiring Soul Power within the body to cultivate and being unable to create it from nothing like the Mysterious Heaven Skill, it could open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. It doubled both a Soul Master's cultivation speed and cultivation potential.

During this process, Lin Hanye opened his Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Without undergoing a God Test like that of Sea God Island, he broke through to Level 70 Soul Power at the age of twenty-four. Bibi Dong, who had consumed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, had reached Level 80 Soul Power.

Considering that the two had consumed large amounts of Whale Rubber and could withstand Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings for their seventh and eighth rings, Lin Hanye went with Liu Erlong and Shao Xin to cultivate on Sea God Island. Unexpectedly, just as the two obtained God Bestowed Soul Rings from Bo Saixi, the simulation ended.

Simulation End--

Please select reward items: Nine Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty-Two Year Ghost Leopard Left Leg Bone, Fifty Thousand Year Mirror Beast Soul Ring, Seventy Thousand Year Swift Ice Bird External Soul Bone, Seventy Thousand Year Swift Ice Bird Soul Ring, God Bestowed Soul Ring

Please choose two!

Lin Hanye: "..."

Of the five rewards,

the Nine Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty-Two Year Ghost Leopard Left Leg Bone came from Shao Xin's Fourth Soul Ring.

The Fifty Thousand Year Mirror Beast Soul Ring came from the Mirror Beast Lin Hanye had hunted for his Fifth Soul Ring. It granted a Fifth Soul Skill called Mirage, which could create a number of phantoms equal to his Soul Power Level. Each phantom could unleash one attack equivalent to eighty percent of the original body's strength.

The Seventy Thousand Year Swift Ice Bird had been hunted for his Sixth Soul Ring. Unable to find a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and unable to withstand the Soul Impact of one, he had settled for the next best option and asked Ling Yuan, who had already been promoted to Titled Douluo, to accompany him to the Extreme North to hunt it.

After absorbing it, he obtained the Swift Ice Bird's External Soul Bone, Ice Wings.

As for the God Bestowed Soul Ring, there was even less need to explain. It had come from Sea God Island.

He knew all of this.

But unlike the rewards from the first two simulations, the number of reward items had increased from three to five, while the number of selectable items had increased from one to two. That caught him somewhat off guard.

"Looks like it's because I didn't die during this simulation."

Lin Hanye guessed inwardly.

Then, without any hesitation, he selected what he currently needed most.

"I choose the Seventy Thousand Year Swift Ice Bird External Soul Bone and the God Bestowed Soul Ring."

As soon as his words fell, a black hole suddenly opened before Lin Hanye. A pair of connected, fan-sized ice-carved wings and a golden bead that looked as though it had been carved from crystal dropped before him.

This Lin is finally about to soar. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Clear Sky Sect, just wait and give This Lin an explanation.

Lin Hanye sneered inwardly, put away the golden bead, and turned to inspect the Swift Ice Bird External Soul Bone.

He was all too familiar with this thing.

Although it could not boost all attributes by fifty percent like Tang San's Eight Spider Lances,

it could grant him flight while increasing his speed, strength, and attack power by one hundred percent, as well as increasing the attack power of his Ice Attribute skills by fifty percent.

It could also use the Ice Wings to fire Ice Blades at enemies.

For Lin Hanye, who possessed the Extreme Ice Martial Soul, it could not have been more suitable.
