But Tang Yu's shock to the Clear Sky Sect was far from over.
Roar!!
Dragon Wings spread out, shielding Tang Yu from the front.
Tang Long's relentless barrage of heavy strikes was entirely blocked by the Thunder Dragon Wings.
The Thunder Dragon Wings were also continuously absorbing the thunder energy carried within Tang Long's attacks.
"An External Soul Bone! No wonder you dared challenge me with four rings! But even so, I, Tang Long, will not lose!" Tang Long gritted his teeth as two Soul Rings rose beneath his feet. "Second Soul Skill, Clear Sky Thunderous Hammer!"
Bang! Boom!
The lightning shrouded Tang Yu, allowing him to block the attack without injury. Instead, the Thunder Dragon Wings absorbed another wave of energy.
Tang Yu flapped his Dragon Wings and floated in midair, looking down at Tang Long. "Your offensive ends here, doesn't it? Now it's my turn."
"External Soul Bone skill: Thunder Flash!"
Crackle, crackle!
Tang Yu seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, vanishing from where he stood in an instant.
"So fast!" Tang Long could hardly react.
By the time he did, a chill ran down his back. "Behind me!"
"Oh no! It's too late!"
Bang!
"Urgh!"
Tang Long was blasted away by a single hammer strike on the spot.
From then on, Tang Long was practically being toyed with by Tang Yu.
Under the speed of Thunder Flash, he was beaten without any ability to fight back.
Bang bang bang!
"The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul paired with Dragon Wings—an External Soul Bone that grants this kind of speed and flight—is simply seamless! It's a perfect fit for us Clear Sky Hammer Soul Masters!"
"It's over. Tang Long is probably..." Tang Xiao knew that Tang Long was very likely going to lose.
Because he understood just how terrifying a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master with speed comparable to an Agility Attack System Soul Master could be.
Especially against a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master, whose speed was not particularly fast to begin with.
But Tang Yu had no intention of winning through speed.
Since he was going to defeat the strongest chief disciple among the Clear Sky Sect's younger generation, he naturally had to defeat him with strength. Only then would the entire Clear Sky Sect be convinced!
"Brother Tang Long, the Clear Sky Sect reveres strength above all else. Then I will defeat you with strength as well."
"Now, witness my true power!"
"Fourth soul skill, Clear Sky Power!"
Tang Yu's aura and strength surged once more. The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul in his hand directly doubled in size, while its weight also doubled to 1,500 jin.
Before Tang Yu even attacked, Tang Long could already feel how terrifying his Clear Sky Hammer was!
"You won't be able to block this strike without using a Soul Skill."
Tang Yu sent forth a domineering hammer blow.
Tang Long did not dare let down his guard. "Fourth soul skill, Clear Sky Flying Thunder Hammer!"
He directly hurled the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand at Tang Yu.
Bang! Boom boom!
Yet Tang Yu actually blocked Tang Long's fourth soul skill just like that.
"Damn! A single strike without even using a Soul Skill blocked Brother Tang Long's fourth soul skill!"
"?????"
A basic hammer strike had blocked the power of a millennium Soul Skill?
The disciples were already dumbfounded.
While everyone was still staring in disbelief, Tang Yu smashed down with another hammer strike. "Second Soul Skill, Thunderous Frenzy Hammer!!"
With the fourth soul skill doubling its weight, the power of his Second Soul Skill had become incredibly fierce.
"Third soul skill, Clear Sky Bodyguard!" Tang Long unleashed his strongest defensive skill.
Bang! Boom!
Clear Sky Bodyguard was actually shattered by the hammer strike!
Pfft~
"Uwaaaah!" Tang Long spat out fresh blood and screamed as he was blasted away.
"Damn..."
"Is this real? Brother Tang Long's Clear Sky Bodyguard was... was shattered!!"
Everyone was numb with shock.
"The final hammer strike will decide the victor! Brother Tang Long!!" Tang Yu's domineering aura surged, while his Thunder Dragon Wings had absorbed an enormous amount of thunder energy throughout the battle.
Tang Long went all out as his ten-thousand-year Fifth Soul Ring finally rose beneath his feet. "Fifth soul skill, Thunderous Frenzy Kill!!"
The Thunder Dragon Wings once again absorbed the thunder energy from Tang Long's fifth soul skill, weakening Tang Long's attack. At that moment, Tang Yu finally released all the thunder energy he had absorbed.
He named this attack: Thunder Power!
"Thunder Power!!"
Crackle, crackle!
Boom!
All that terrifying thunder energy blasted forth like heavenly lightning capable of destroying the world, shattering Tang Long's power in a single instant.
"Ahhh!"
Tang Long's final scream rang out as his body smashed through the solid stone wall, and he could no longer rise.
That was an absolute crushing advantage in raw power.
The battle was over. Tang Long had lost!
The scene fell utterly silent.
Everyone was so shocked that they no longer knew how to be shocked.
Then two words slipped from the lips of a fourth generation disciple: "Fucking awesome."
The entire crowd instantly erupted, cheering wildly.
"So powerful! Tang Yu is truly incredible!"
"Tian Na! What kind of monster is this? A genius! Our Clear Sky Sect is about to produce an unparalleled genius who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ancestor Tang Chen of old!!"
"Tang Yu! Tang Yu! Tang Yu!"
At that moment.
Tang Tian roared excitedly, "Beautifully done, Yu'er!"
Whether they belonged to Tang Xiao's faction or the Elders' faction, they all cheered with excitement.
Because Tang Yu's strength also signified the future strength of the Clear Sky Sect.
Moreover, the talent and strength Tang Yu had displayed today surpassed even the Clear Sky Twin Stars of old, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
In everyone's eyes, Tang Yu had already become a second Tang Chen!
Perhaps one day in the future, Tang Yu would be able to lead the Clear Sky Sect out of these rugged mountains and return to the Soul Master World.
He would restore the former glory of Clear Sky!
At that moment, Tang Yu had undoubtedly become a god in the hearts of the Third Generation and fourth generation disciples.
The hope in the eyes of the Second Generation and First Generation!
He was also the hope of all four generations for returning to the Soul Master World.
Because regardless of generation, no one truly wanted to remain in seclusion. Everyone wished to return to the Soul Master World and live the life Soul Masters were meant to live, rather than hide forever in this godforsaken place.
Tang Yu had not merely defeated Tang Long, the strongest chief disciple. He had won the hearts of every member of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Yu's status within the Clear Sky Sect had now undergone a world-shaking transformation.
Sigh. Tang Xiao sighed inwardly. He had always wanted to cultivate Tang Long as the next Sect Master, but now there was Tang Yu...
He knew there was a high chance Tang Long no longer had an opportunity.
Tang Xiao rose to his feet. "I announce that Tang Yu, a Third Generation disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, has obtained the qualification to learn the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!"
"The Elders may teach him this ultimate art at any time."
"Everyone, disperse."
"Good kid! You did wonderfully!"
The Five Elders gathered around Tang Yu, their faces brimming with smiles and affection.
"Xiao Yu, go back and rest well. Have a good meal and get some sleep!"
"Tomorrow morning, the five of us Elders will teach you the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes together!"
"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Elders!"
All five Elders teaching him together?
That was perfect!
This way, he would be able to learn faster as well.
I can finally begin learning the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. Tang Yu was filled with anticipation. After returning to eat and sleep,
the second day, at dawn.
He arrived early at the Elders' cultivation grounds.
The Elders had already been waiting for quite some time.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the Elders began their lesson directly. "The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes is the top practical combat art of our Clear Sky Sect. It was precisely because of it that our Clear Sky Sect was once able to maintain its position as the number one sect in the world."
