Clear Sky Sect Breaks Down, Second Elder Makes the Ranking

[Power Ranking Twenty-Sixth Place, Clear Sky Sect, Blazing Sun Douluo—Tang Ming!]

[Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Level Ninety-Four Power Attack System Titled Douluo!]

Spirit Hall,

"The Clear Sky Sect actually has a hidden Titled Douluo besides Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. Their wolfish ambitions are plain for all to see!"

The moment Bibi Dong heard the Golden Ranking announce the Clear Sky Sect, she immediately sat up straight.

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo were Bibi Dong's right and left arms. Naturally, they knew that the existence of the Clear Sky Sect was a massive obstacle to Her Holiness the Pope's ambitions.

"Your Holiness, when Ghost Douluo and I sealed off the Clear Sky Sect back then, we investigated it thoroughly. This Tang Ming should be the Second Elder, the Clear Sky Sect's most senior and oldest member. Twelve years ago, he was a Level Eighty-Nine Soul Douluo. I never expected him to break through to Level Ninety-Four now, and his ranking even surpasses Ghost Douluo and me in battle strength."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice was soft and feminine, but his tone was filled with a chilling menace.

The Clear Sky Hammer was simply far too powerful a martial soul. Despite possessing the Soul Power of a Level Ninety-Four Titled Douluo, Tang Ming's battle strength had surpassed that of three Level Ninety-Five Super Douluo.

There could be no greater threat.

"The Clear Sky Sect should have several more elders. They may have broken through to the Titled Douluo realm as well. I am willing to go and investigate the situation for Your Holiness, removing this obstacle!"

Ghost Douluo spoke up. The strongest fighters Bibi Dong could directly command were the two of them. This trust had to be repaid with their lives.

"No. Tang Xiao and Tang Hao are even more terrifying. Let us wait until the Golden Ranking has finished announcing its results before making a decision."

Bibi Dong sighed softly. Her grand plan regarding the Heaven Dou Empire had not yet succeeded. She was crazy, but she was not stupid.

"As Your Holiness commands."

Clear Sky Sect,

Unlike the oppressive atmosphere at Spirit Hall, where a storm seemed to be brewing, the Clear Sky Sect, which Spirit Hall regarded as its greatest enemy, was cursing angrily at the heavens.

"How dare they rank my second brother twenty-sixth? What the hell does this damn Golden Ranking want?"

The Fifth Elder cursed furiously, and Tang Ming's expression was also extremely ugly.

"Boom—!"

The aura around him exploded, and a small black-gold hammer appeared in his hand.

It rapidly expanded against the wind, transforming in an instant into a giant hammer more than a dozen meters long.

"The name of the Clear Sky Hammer cannot be insulted. A mere Heavenly Dao—One Strength Breaks Heaven!"

"Wait, Second Uncle!"

Tang Xiao opened his mouth to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Clear Sky True Body!"

"Ninth Spirit Skill—One Strength Breaks Heaven!"

Tang Ming leaped onto the mountaintop and hurled the Clear Sky Hammer, which had grown to over a hundred meters after activating Weapon Soul True Body, straight toward the Golden Ranking in the sky.

"Clang—!"

Golden light surged. The Clear Sky Hammer, which had flown into midair, was stopped directly. After letting out a thunderous crash, it rebounded.

"Pffft—!"

Tang Ming had failed to land a blow and was about to withdraw his martial soul, but he saw that the several-hundred-meter Clear Sky Hammer was no longer under his control.

"No, no, no, no!!!"

"Ahhhhhh—!!!"

The returning Clear Sky Hammer smashed directly into the mountaintop, taking Tang Ming with it.

"Boom—!"

Broken rocks rolled down the mountain, and the other elders of the Clear Sky Sect immediately rushed forward to rescue him.

Tang Ming's legs had been crushed outright. His body tumbled to the ground like a kite with a severed string, and he was powerless to rise.

[Clear Sky Sect's Tang Ming possesses brute force but does not understand that his ancestors valued technique and strength equally. He is truly a mindless brute, a withered skeleton in a grave.]

[Reward: Increase the year limits of all Soul Rings by nine hundred years and receive one Hundred Thousand Year Right Arm Soul Bone.]

[However, he has shown contempt for the Heavenly Dao and attacked the Golden Ranking. Therefore, the reward is revoked.]

Tang Ming had already been enraged by the Golden Ranking's evaluation of him. His injuries caused him to vomit blood nonstop, but his expression softened slightly when he heard the reward.

After all, only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could produce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Even against an opponent of the same level—or even one two or more levels higher—the power of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone could allow its wielder to fight.

However, the Golden Ranking's final words made Tang Ming vomit blood toward the sky in fury before passing out.

Tang Xiao stood before the fallen Tang Ming, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Unlike the other elders, who still believed their strength surpassed that of Second Elder Tang Ming, he now understood. There was no such thing as the Clear Sky Hammer's divine strength. How many martial souls capable of making the ranking could possibly be simple?

Judging from the current situation, perhaps only Second Elder and he himself could make the ranking in the present Clear Sky Sect.

Second Elder had even recklessly caused himself to lose his reward. That had been a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!

There were no more than three known Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones on the entire continent, yet Tang Ming had caused them to disappear.

Tang Xiao was in a foul mood. Ignoring the elders who were still cursing the Golden Ranking, he returned directly to his main hall.

A smile touched the corners of Bibi Dong's eyes. After all, this was simply too hilarious.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone came with two Soul Skills. Its power and rarity went without saying.

"What a bunch of brainless brutes from the Clear Sky Sect."

"Your Holiness is wise!"

Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo also struggled to conceal their delight. Their greatest opponent was a brainless fool. It was simply too amusing.

"Make finding Great Wall Academy our top priority. That Shao Siyuan should not be the strongest person there. As for the Clear Sky Sect, there is no need to worry about it."

"Yes, Your Holiness is wise!"

Su Han looked at Shao Siyuan, whose aura had risen directly to Level Ninety-Four, and was astonished.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red martial soul and the Immortal Herb identical to it complemented each other perfectly.

At the Titled Douluo realm, where increasing one's level was as difficult as ascending to heaven, a three-level increase was truly terrifying.

As for Tang Ming of the Clear Sky Sect, whom the Golden Ranking had announced, Su Han guessed that he might be one of the elders. However, he estimated that Tang Ming was probably a relatively senior elder. After all, he truly did not take the Clear Sky Hammer seriously.

He had originally thought that only Tang Xiao could make the ranking, but who would have expected another Tang Ming to appear?

However, the subsequent development made him chuckle. It was not because Tang Ming had foolishly attacked the Golden Ranking, but because Su Han had noticed the dramatic change in the reward.

Ghost Douluo's reward had been only two Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bones. How could the reward change into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone after rising just two places in the ranking?

This was not a simple matter of addition. The value of one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was absolutely far greater than that of two Fifty-Thousand-Year Soul Bones.

The Golden Ranking had clearly exaggerated the reward deliberately to anger Tang Ming. This showed that it was not merely a tool entirely devoid of self-awareness.

Su Han judged that someone was probably controlling the Golden Ranking. If Tang Ming had not attacked it, the Golden Ranking's reward should have been only one Eighty-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.

"Dean, I've broken through to Level Ninety-Four."

"I sensed it. Very impressive."

Hearing Su Han's praise, Shao Siyuan immediately smiled, but then she suddenly seemed to remember something. Her face flushed red as she said angrily,

"How can you sense a girl's condition just like that?"

Su Han was helpless, but then he saw a woman dressed in a dark teal, court-style long gown and formal dress walk in from outside the small garden.
