Leaving the Sect for Training [Bonus Chapter for Chennian de Hanshuang]

Tang Yuehua glided forward with graceful steps, pursing her lips at Tang Hao and Tang Xiao in displeasure. "Why are you two fighting again? Doesn't it hurt when you get injured?"

The two men scratched their heads awkwardly and hurriedly promised they would never do it again. Only then did Tang Yuehua let it go. In truth, this was simply her way of showing concern for them. The three siblings had always been very close since childhood. Her two older brothers had protected and spoiled her since they were young, leaving Tang Yuehua especially grateful to Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

"Xiao'er, Hao'er, come with me," Tang Xian said. He and the Elders had heard the sounds of their sparring and come out to investigate.

"Yes," the two replied respectfully.

"Little sister, we'll be going now," Tang Hao said.

"Mm. Go on, Eldest Brother, Second Brother," Tang Yuehua said obediently.

Inside Clear Sky Fort.

When Tang Hao and Tang Xiao entered the Council Chamber with steady strides, Tang Xian, the Clear Sky Sect Master, and the seven great Elders were already seated in their respective places.

Ordinarily, the seven great Elders of the Clear Sky Sect would not gather together unless some major matter within the sect required an Elder Council Meeting.

Yet all seven Elders were present now, clearly indicating that something had happened within the sect. Suddenly, Tang Xian, the Clear Sky Sect Master seated at the head of the hall, spoke.

"I have convened this sect meeting to decide on a matter. You have all seen Xiao'er and Hao'er's outstanding abilities, but they still lack experience. I intend to send them out to travel the continent and witness the strength of the continent's Soul Masters. I wish to give each of the two brothers one Inherited Soul Bone from the sect. What do you all think?" Tang Xian's expression was utterly calm, as though he were discussing something ordinary.

However, the Elders below erupted into an uproar. The Clear Sky Sect's Inherited Soul Bones were all exquisite Soul Bones over fifty thousand years old, capable of greatly increasing a Soul Master's strength. Traditionally, only the Clear Sky Sect Master could possess them. How could people not be jealous when these two were receiving Soul Bones at such a young age?

Seventh Elder was the first to lose his composure. Rising to his feet, he said, "Sect Master, I believe Tang Xiao and Tang Hao are still not strong enough to protect these Soul Bones. I think it would be better to wait until they have trained for a few more years." Seventh Elder's name was Tang Lie, and his temperament was as fierce as fire—impulsive and quick to anger.

The other Elders nodded in agreement. Seeing that every Elder opposed the proposal and that his father wore a troubled expression, the hot-blooded Tang Hao immediately shouted, "You oppose this only because you think we aren't strong enough. But what if we are?"

Tang Xiao stepped forward. "Hao Di, don't be presumptuous. However, Hao Di is right. If we are strong enough, does that mean we can receive the Soul Bones?"

Seeing the unwilling expressions on the Elders' faces, Tang Xian could not help but feel somewhat displeased. Look at how stingy you all are. Won't those Soul Bones belong to our Hao'er and Xiao'er sooner or later anyway? I'm only giving them out early to provide a little extra protection while they travel the continent.

"Then how about this, Elders? You may test Xiao'er and Hao'er's strength yourselves. If they meet the required standard, they will receive the sect's Inherited Soul Bones. What do you think?" Tang Xian decided.

Second Elder said, "Let it be so. Let us see whether these two possess the qualifications to inherit the sect's Soul Bones."

The other Elders echoed their agreement. They knew that if they did not cooperate, the Sect Master would become angry.

Thus, Seventh Elder took on the task of testing them. The brothers worked together with remarkable coordination, wielding Chaotic Wind with such fierce momentum that they reached a stalemate with Seventh Elder. In the end, Tang Hao unleashed the ultimate technique Exploding Ring, releasing incomparably powerful energy and knocking Seventh Elder back a step with a single hammer blow. Seventh Elder had to use the Tremor Character Art from the Clear Sky Nine Ultimates to dissipate the force. Given his status as Seventh Elder, he had originally disdained to use the Clear Sky Nine Ultimates, but if he had not, he would have been even more embarrassed.

The result of the match was clearly a victory for the Tang Xiao brothers. Though Seventh Elder was unwilling to accept it, he was fully convinced. He knew that at their age, he could never have achieved what they had. Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had earned the recognition of every Elder through their strength.

After the Elder Council Meeting ended, Tang Xian led Tang Xiao and Tang Hao into the Sect Inheritance Hall. The hall housed the Clear Sky Sect's collections accumulated over thousands of years and was the sect's true treasury. Secret techniques such as the Clear Sky Nine Ultimates were also recorded within.

Tang Xian took out two Soul Bones, handed one to Tang Hao and one to Tang Xiao, and instructed them to absorb them as soon as possible.

By the time the two had finished absorbing the Soul Bones, Tang Xian was already waiting for them outside the hall.

"Xiao'er, Hao'er, you two are the hope of the sect's rise. Your grandfather personally elevated the Clear Sky Sect to the position of the Number One Sect Under Heaven, only to disappear without a trace afterward. The burden of the sect suddenly fell upon my shoulders, and it has left me unable to catch my breath. Fortunately, I still have you two. Once you have grown up, I will be able to rest a little. I place great hopes in you. Do not disappoint my expectations." Tang Xian said.

"Don't worry, Father. Hao Di and I will definitely protect the sect."

"Father, I will definitely not disappoint Grandfather's expectations. I will protect the Clear Sky Sect," Tang Xiao and Tang Hao said.

"Enough. You may go." Tang Xian waved his hand.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao descended the mountain. What upheavals the continent would face next remained unknown.
