Fourth Soul Skill! Does the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul Have a Weight Limit?

As the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring slowly rose and settled onto his body, Tang Yu quickly sensed Thunderclap Dragon's resentment.

It was launching an assault on Tang Yu's consciousness and spirit.

"Roar! (Human, don't even think about obtaining my power!)"

Tang Yu's consciousness appeared within his spiritual sea. Before him, the terrifying phantom formed from Thunderclap Dragon's resentment lunged forward, intending to devour him.

"Thunderclap Dragon, your power will ultimately be mine!"

"Submit to me!!"

Within his spiritual sea, Tang Yu domineeringly brought down his hammer upon Thunderclap Dragon's resentment, annihilating it.

A moment later.

Tang Yu's Soul Power began to surge wildly.

Level 41!

Level 42!

Level 43!

Boom!

His Soul Power broke through three levels in succession!

"As expected of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Its energy really is immense." Tang Yu smiled after finishing the absorption.

"Yu'er, you've truly become more and more outstanding." Tang Tian still felt as if he were in a dream.

It was as though he had only looked away for a moment, and his son had somehow already become a Level 43 Soul Ancestor!

"How was it? Is your Fourth Soul Skill a boosting skill?" Tang Tian hurriedly asked.

Tang Yu looked rather excited. Not only had he obtained a boosting skill, but its effects were exceptionally good.

"I got one, Father." Tang Yu answered, then explained, "My Fourth Soul Skill is called Clear Sky Power. It doubles my strength, speed, and physical toughness. Most importantly, it doubles the weight of my Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul!"

"What! This—!" Tang Tian was stunned, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul grew heavier the more it was cultivated, and the heavier it became, the more tyrannical its power.

Doubling its weight was far more than simply doubling its attack power and Soul Skill might!

Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul already weighed over three thousand jin, and in his Martial Soul Avatar state, it could reach over ten thousand jin.

So while its weight appeared to have merely doubled, the effect it brought was actually far greater than twice as much!

Tang Tian excitedly asked, "Yu'er, how much does your Clear Sky Hammer weigh now?"

Tang Yu said, "It should be over 750 jin."

"Gasp, 750 jin with only Four Rings... and if you use Clear Sky Power to double it, that becomes 1,500 jin!"

"1,500 jin—that already rivals the weight of a Soul Saint's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul!"

The higher the age of the absorbed Soul Ring, the more weight it added. Thus, in the early stages, being short one or two Soul Rings would not create too great a difference in the Clear Sky Hammer's weight. But later on, especially after reaching Soul Saint, even a difference of one Soul Ring could mean a difference of several hundred jin.

What was terrifying was that Tang Yu's current 750 jin could become 1,500 jin when doubled.

Then once his hammer itself reached 1,500 jin, wouldn't doubling it make it as heavy as the Clear Sky Hammers of their Titled Douluo?

That was why Clear Sky Power, this boosting skill, was so absurdly powerful!

Tang Tian had only two words in his heart: heaven-defying!

Tang Yu curiously asked, "Father, is there a limit to the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul?"

"I don't know either." Tang Tian shook his head. "Other than the Sect Master's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul exceeding three thousand jin, the Clear Sky Hammers of us Elders are all close to three thousand jin."

"Throughout the history of our Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the highest weight record was Tang Chen's back then—4,258 jin!" (This was set as Tang Chen's weight before the Asura Nine Trials.)

"Yu'er, in the future, your Clear Sky Hammer may have a chance to surpass Tang Chen's!"

"Is 4,258 jin the current highest weight record for the Clear Sky Hammer?" Tang Yu pondered inwardly as he casually released his External Soul Bone. "Right, Father, take a look at this."

"This! This is! This is an External Soul Bone!!!"

"Tian Na! Yu'er, what kind of luck do you have? You actually got an External Soul Bone as well." Tang Tian was practically going mad with excitement.

"Yu'er, your current strength is enough to break into the top three among the younger generation. Come, come, come—we'll head back to the sect right now!"

"Alright!"

Father and son swiftly made their way back to the sect.

Tang Tian could no longer wait to show the entire sect his incredible son!

Ten days later.

Amid towering mountain ranges.

Tang Yu once again stood before the gates of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Clear Sky Sect! I'm back!"

Rumble—rumble—the stone gates opened.

The two stepped into the sect.

Tang Tian immediately brought Tang Yu to meet the other elders.

At that moment, inside the Elders' Hall.

The Clear Sky Sect's Five Great Elders had gathered.

Tang Yu stood before the elders and cupped his hands. "Third Generation Disciple Tang Yu greets all the elders."

The Clear Sky Sect had originally possessed seven elders.

However, because of the incident involving Tang Hao years ago, the First Elder and Fourth Elder had died in battle.

Now, only the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder remained.

The Elders were led by the Second Elder, who was at the peak of Rank 94.

The other four elders had originally all been below Rank 94, but after Sixth Elder Tang Tian absorbed the Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng, he had also reached Rank 94.

Third Elder, peak Rank 93.

Fifth Elder, peak Rank 93.

Sixth Elder Tang Tian: Rank 94.

Seventh Elder Blazing Sun Douluo: Rank 92.

"Ahem, Xiao Yu! Have a seat."

The Elders were all extremely united.

Thus, they naturally took especially good care of Tang Tian's son, Tang Yu.

Now that they had heard Tang Yu had absorbed the Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng, they regarded him even more highly.

The Second Elder said with a smile, "How has your strength progressed during your cultivation outside these past few years?"

"Yu'er, hurry! Show all the elders everything you can do." Tang Tian wore a broad smile.

"Oh? Sixth Brother is usually a man of few words, yet whenever he speaks of Tang Yu, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise!" The Elders had all noticed that Tang Tian seemed to have become more fond of smiling.

That made them look forward to Tang Yu even more.

Naturally, Tang Yu had no need to hide his strength before the Elders. He nodded, then released his Soul Rings and External Soul Bone.

"Thunder Dragon Wings!"

"Roar!"

Dragon wings crackling with lightning spread open, while yellow, yellow, purple, and black—four rings in all—appeared beneath Tang Yu's feet.

The Elders rose to their feet in shock on the spot!

"What! Xiao Yu is already a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor!"

"His Fourth Soul Ring is at the Ten Thousand Year Level!"

"And... and an External Soul Bone!!"

The four elders began rejoicing. "Good, good, good! Our Clear Sky Sect has finally produced another peerless genius!"

Everyone was utterly delighted.

They exchanged glances, as though they had reached a decision.

The Second Elder rose and said with utmost solemnity, "Xiao Yu, from today onward, the Elders will do everything in our power to help you compete for the position of future Sect Master!"

Blazing Sun Douluo said excitedly, "That's right! If not for that wretch Tang Hao offending Spirit Hall back then, how could our Clear Sky Sect have ended up like this!"

"It is time for the next generation's Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect to come from another branch!"

"Xiao Yu, you must not disappoint us!"

The Clear Sky Sect appeared harmonious, but its circumstances were actually complicated. The sect was broadly divided into two factions.

One faction was led by Sect Master Tang Xiao. They believed that Tang Hao had not been in the wrong back then, and that Spirit Hall had been overbearing and tyrannical.

The other faction was led by the Five Great Elders. They believed that Tang Hao had joined with a soul beast and offended Spirit Hall, bringing disaster upon the Clear Sky Sect. His crime was unforgivable.

If Tang Hao had done it for the sect back then, or even so that he himself could absorb the Soul Ring of that hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, the Elders could still have understood and would not have been so angry or furious.
