A Unique Clear Sky Bodyguard, Tang Yu's Soul Power Surges!

Soul skills could actually be chosen!

When two identical Martial Souls absorbed the same type of soul beast, there was a high probability they would produce the same soul skill.

This was very common on the Douluo Continent.

For example, in the Six-winged Angel Clan, both Qian Renxue and Qian Xunjie had the Sacred Sword among their soul skills.

Another example was the Hell Spirit Cat family—Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun both knew Hell Stab and Hell Hundred Claws.

And then there was the Star Luo Imperial Family's Dai Family—Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi both had White Tiger Bodyguard and White Tiger Blazing Light Wave.

The same Martial Soul possessing the same soul skills was especially common among large families, major sects, and those clans with long-standing Martial Soul traditions.

This was because these conclusions were drawn from the practices of ancestors, who believed these soul skills were the most suitable and necessary for that Martial Soul.

So as long as one found the designated soul beast, there was a high chance of obtaining the same soul skill.

Of course, it was only a high probability—there were exceptions.

The Clear Sky Sect naturally had such inherited soul skill templates, allowing later generations to obtain skills that their ancestors had deemed fitting.

Clear Sky Bodyguard and Soaring Strike were, respectively, a defensive soul skill and a single-target offensive soul skill.

Clear Sky Bodyguard covered the entire body with energy, as if the Clear Sky Hammer had merged with the body. All attacks were essentially striking the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul itself, making the defense extremely powerful with no weaknesses.

The stronger the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was cultivated, the tougher the defense became. This meant that even as a Third Soul Skill, its defensive power would be formidable later on.

For a Clear Sky Hammer soul master who focused on strength and offense, having an extra defensive skill was actually perfect—balanced in both attack and defense.

As for Soaring Strike, it was extremely domineering. This skill could not be dodged—it had to be taken head-on. Even if the opponent possessed a teleportation skill, it would be completely locked on.

For the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which relied on overwhelming power, this was practically cheating!

The experience left behind by countless ancestors naturally had its reasoning.

Tang Yu himself also wanted to keep one defensive soul skill among his nine. He nodded. "Alright, then Clear Sky Bodyguard it is!"

"Clear Sky Bodyguard comes from a soul beast called the Golden Shield Beast. This kind of soul beast is quite rare, so we'll need to spend some time looking for it."

"Yu'er, let's go!"

The two quickly delved deeper and began their search.

After a full three days and three nights, they finally found a Golden Shield Beast with a cultivation of 4,000 years.

"Die!"

Tang Tian struck decisively, a single overbearing hammer blow leaving the Golden Shield Beast barely alive.

Boom!

"Yu'er, go ahead."

"Alright." Tang Yu stepped forward quickly and ended its life.

Then he sat cross-legged and began absorbing his third Soul Ring.

A circle of purple Soul Ring slowly rose and settled onto Tang Yu.

After a long while.

Tang Yu's Soul Power surged fiercely, breaking through to Level 31.

Then Level 32!

In the end, he had broken through two levels of Soul Power consecutively.

Tang Tian quickly asked, "Yu'er, how is it? Is your Third Soul Skill Clear Sky Bodyguard!?"

Tang Yu smiled. "Yes, Father."

"Good, good, good! Release it and let me see."

"Mm!"

"Third Soul Skill, Clear Sky Bodyguard!"

The Clear Sky Hammer flew out.

A strong blue light suddenly flared up, covering Tang Yu's entire body, and crackling with intense thunder.

"This! What's going on? Yu'er's Clear Sky Bodyguard actually has thunder protecting him!" Tang Tian was shocked at the sight.

This was clearly different from the ordinary Clear Sky Bodyguard!

"Yu'er, don't move. Let me try attacking you to see."

With that, Tang Tian swung his hammer straight at him.

Boom!

The crackling thunder seemed to absorb Tang Tian's power. In that instant, it became incredibly violent, and the next second, it rebounded a lightning strike back!

Zzzz! Crack!

Boom!

Tang Tian dodged just in time, startled. "Yu'er, your Clear Sky Bodyguard is extraordinary! It can actually absorb the energy of an opponent's attack and turn it into Thunder Power to rebound back at them!"

Tang Yu was also pleasantly surprised—this was an unexpected gain. "So that means my Third Soul Skill can turn defense into offense."

Both father and son were very satisfied.

"Alright, Yu'er, since you've already absorbed your third Soul Ring, now it's time to absorb that Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng."

Tang Yu's heart raced with excitement as he took out this Immortal Herb.

"After absorbing it, how many more levels will my Soul Power skyrocket by?" Tang Yu was thrilled.

He immediately began absorbing the Mad Strength Purple Gold Ginseng.

Soul Power surged at an astonishing rate!

Level 33!

Level 34!

Level 35!

Level 36!

Level 37!

"Tian Na! Yu'er actually broke through five consecutive Soul Power levels!" Tang Tian was overjoyed.

"Wait! It's not over yet?"

Level 38!

"Another breakthrough! Six levels! Six consecutive levels!"

"My son! He surely has the makings of a Titled Douluo!!"

Tang Tian was ecstatic, grinning from ear to ear.

But it finally stopped at Level 38.

Tang Yu opened his eyes, his emotions running high. "I've broken through to Level 38 just like that... That means I've jumped eight Soul Power levels in a single day..."

"This feeling is really amazing!"

Not only had his talent and aptitude improved, but Tang Yu also felt a noticeable strengthening in his Spiritual Power.

"Yu'er, you're now the most talented disciple of our Clear Sky Sect's third generation. Keep up the hard work." Tang Tian patted Tang Yu on the shoulder, his eyes filled with high expectations.

Those expectations included Tang Yu one day taking the position of Sect Master.

"I'll do my best." Tang Yu smiled.

"Let's go. I'll take you to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Father, before going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I want to try Shrek Academy first."

Tang Tian looked puzzled. "Shrek Academy? What kind of trash academy is that? I've never even heard of it! Yu'er, if you join some no-name school, it'll only hold back your cultivation."

Shrek Academy was indeed no-name—dirt poor, without even a single Martial Soul Simulation Training Ground.

The teachers' teaching standards and philosophies were also hard to judge.

That whole "a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master" nonsense—glorifying troublemaking as if it were noble, telling a bunch of students with only two or three rings to dare to stir up trouble. Wasn't that just harming them, seeking death?

The world of Soul Masters respected strength above all, and public safety in Douluo Continent was truly terrible.

Letting a group of weak Soul Master students run around picking fights—they wouldn't even know who killed them if they ran into the wrong person.

Sure, they dared to mess with the weak, but if they met someone who could slaughter them with ease, let them try causing trouble then?

In short, it was bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Tang Yu naturally had no intention of actually joining Shrek Academy. He was going there only to complete his first mission.

It was time to give Tang San a beating.

At the same time, Tang Yu needed to weaken Tang San, laying the groundwork for subsequent missions.

That's right!

He was going to stop Tang San from obtaining one of his biggest cheats—the External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances!

After completing these two tasks, Tang Yu would leave Shrek Academy without hesitation.

Tang Yu came up with a reasonable excuse to explain: "I heard Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. I think it sounds interesting and want to check it out. If it's no good, I'll switch to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Alright then, let's head to Shrek Academy."

"Mm."

The father and son immediately set off.
