Breakthrough to Level 40! The Young Powerhouses of the Clear Sky Sect

Tang Yu believed that his interactions with Qian Renxue would not end here.

"Okay, I'll help you look for it," Qian Renxue replied. She turned to leave, her expression slightly displeased. "Damn it! I still don't know this kid's strength, and I ended up being... taken advantage of by him!"

In the following days' preliminary team selection matches, Tang Yu defeated his opponents in the second and third rounds with a single blow, knocking them out directly.

He advanced all the way.

A few days later.

The preliminary team selection matches finally reached the final fourth round.

There were 52 participants remaining.

Tang Yu easily won the fourth round as well, successfully advancing to become one of the 26 preliminary team spots.

Dugu Yan also advanced smoothly.

With the conclusion of the fourth round, the remaining 26 participants generally had Soul Power above level 35.

However, there were also one or two who got through by luck.

But there was no doubt that these few lucky ones would be eliminated.

Because eliminated participants with Soul Power above level 35 could directly challenge one of the 26 qualified participants.

And to ensure they became preliminary team members, challengers would usually pick weaker students to fight.

As for Yu Tianheng, who was unconvinced, he ultimately didn't dare to challenge Tang Yu at this time. He chose a weaker opponent and successfully entered the ranks of the preliminary team members.

Thus, the preliminary team selection matches concluded.

The next day.

Tang Yu and the other 26 participants, along with 4 auxiliary members pre-selected by the academy, a total of 30 preliminary team members, gathered on the flat ground at the academy's summit.

A moment later.

Qin Ming walked over. "Everyone, gather around."

The students gathered.

"First, congratulations to all of you. You are now the preliminary team members for Heaven Dou Royal Academy's next Soul Master Competition, representing the academy."

"However, becoming a preliminary team member does not guarantee participation in the competition."

"You should all know that the Pan-Continental High-Level Elite Soul Master Competition typically allows only one team per academy, and a team consists of 11 members."

"Seven main members and four substitute members."

"But our Heaven Dou Royal Academy can have two competing teams. One can be directly sent to the finals, and the other needs to start from the preliminaries."

"Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy is divided into the seeded team Heaven Dou Team One, which is directly sent, and Heaven Dou Team Two."

"So, out of your 30 people, only 22 can represent the academy in the competition."

"The academy will consider your strength, team composition, team synergy, and other aspects to finally select the members of Heaven Dou Team One and Team Two."

"And I, Qin Ming, will be your team leader and lead you in collective special training for the Soul Master Competition."

"Everyone, be mentally prepared. The special training will be very tough."

"Now! Special training begins!"

"Wait! Teacher Qin Ming." Tang Yu spoke up and interrupted.

Qin Ming looked over. "What is it, student Tang Yu?"

"My Soul Power should break through soon. I want to focus on reaching level 40 first. I'll join the special training after I break through," Tang Yu said.

"What! He's going to break through to level 40!"

Everyone was shocked.

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists even tighter. "Damn it! Is he going to step into the Soul Ancestor realm?"

"Alright, student Tang Yu, you may go." Tang Yu was the strongest student in Heaven Dou, and Qin Ming valued him highly.

Anyway, there was still a year and a half before the competition began, so it wouldn't delay team synergy training too much.

Tang Yu left first and returned to the simulated training ground to break through his Soul Power.

More than twenty days later.

Evening, in the dormitory.

Soul Power fluctuations spread from Tang Yu's body.

Bang!

His Soul Power finally broke through to level 40 at this moment.

"Finally level 40," Tang Yu said with a smile.

Just then, Tang Tian's Soul Power transmission came from outside the dormitory. "Yu'er!"

Tang Yu's face lit up. "It's Father. Good, good, good! He's here at the perfect time!"

He immediately got up and opened the door.

"Father, is the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber ready?"

Tang Tian didn't disappoint Tang Yu. After entering the room, he took out a piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and placed it on the table.

"Great, the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber is here!" Tang Yu was a little excited.

Then Tang Tian took out several smaller pieces of whale rubber and threw them all on the table. "My luck was good this time. Besides this Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, I also hunted several thousand-year and hundred-year whale spirit beasts along the way."

"Yu'er, take them all to eat."

Tang Yu smiled helplessly. "Father, eating too much whale rubber is useless. This piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber is enough for me. But I'll take these other pieces too."

Tang Tian asked, "Yu'er, this whale rubber is very hard! How are you going to consume it?"

"First, soften it with high temperature, then remove impurities, and it can be consumed," Tang Yu explained.

He immediately began preparing to consume the whale rubber.

Consuming Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber directly would cause one's inner fire to surge, making it easy to lose control, lose oneself, and only think about lewd things, unable to restrain oneself.

To prevent Tang Yu from losing control and attacking his brother in front of Tang Tian, he quickly prepared a large tub of water and a lot of ice.

Then he used high temperature to soften the whale rubber.

With everything ready, Tang Yu swallowed it mouthful by mouthful without hesitation.

"Is it coming already! Such terrifying medicinal properties!"

Tang Yu immediately felt a burning sensation all over his body.

He immediately jumped into the ice-filled water and then mobilized his Soul Power to aid in absorbing the medicinal properties of the whale rubber.

After a long time, he finally suppressed the surge of inner fire.

Tang Yu also felt that his body and physique had been significantly strengthened again.

"The effect should be good!"

He was overjoyed. "Now I can easily obtain a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"Father, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow morning. After I obtain my Fourth Soul Ring, I'll return directly to the Clear Sky Sect. I plan to challenge the top three powerhouses among the younger generation of the sect."

Tang Tian frowned slightly upon hearing this. "You've just broken through to Soul Ancestor and you want to return to the sect to challenge the top three of the younger generation? Yu'er, you're still a bit too hasty."

"Currently, the sect's top young genius, Tang Long and Tang Hu, are both at the Soul King realm. As Soul Kings, they are both top-tier among the third-generation Soul Kings."

"Tang Long and Tang Hu are already 24 and 23 years old respectively. You can wait another two years until they are both over 25, and then you can easily break into the top three of the younger generation."

Tang Long, Tang Long.

He is currently the most talented disciple of the Clear Sky Sect after Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.

Tang Long, Tang Xiao's adopted son, was being groomed as the future successor of the sect and was the strongest among the third generation.

Tang Hu, also from the direct lineage, was slightly weaker than Tang Long, but they were still considered evenly matched, both qualified to contend for the position of Sect Master.

These two occupied two of the top three spots in the younger generation.

Besides them, the Clear Sky Sect had several other Soul King powerhouses around the age of 25, one of whom was not much weaker than Tang Long and Tang Hu.
