Qian Renyu and Qianjun Douluo observed Tang San's martial soul awakening from a distance.
Qianjun Douluo keenly discovered that besides the Blue Silver Grass, Tang San possessed another martial soul, though he could not clearly see what it was.
He then said to Qian Renyu, "This kid is a Twin Martial Souls user; I didn't see what the second martial soul was. But if he could reach Innate Full Soul Power with just that Blue Silver Grass, then both of his martial souls must be top-tier."
"It's just that he just rejected the recruitment of our Martial Soul Hall."
"If such a genius cannot be used by us, and if he is allowed to grow, he will surely become a major threat to our Martial Soul Hall in the future."
Qian Renyu did not expect Qianjun Douluo's judgment to be so sharp, but he had to admit, his assessment of people was truly accurate.
"His second martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer," Qian Renyu said to Qianjun Douluo.
"Clear Sky Hammer? He is from the Clear Sky Sect."
"Correct, his father is Tang Hao."
"Tang Hao... then he is the child of Tang Hao and that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"Exactly."
"So it is that half-breed."
A half-breed—Qianjun Douluo was certainly not wrong about that.
He didn't know why the tastes of the Tang family were so unique, specifically favoring soul beasts.
Tang Hao and the grass.
Tang San and the rabbit.
Tang Wulin and the dragon.
Three generations of ancestors and descendants were all involved with soul beasts.
In the bodies of the Tang family, the human bloodline grew thinner and thinner, while the soul beast bloodline grew stronger and stronger.
"Since that is the case, this child must not be left alive."
"Xiaoyu, I will first send you to find Jin Qiang and Yin Dao, and then I will come back to finish off that Tang San."
"Grandpa Qianjun, that Tang Hao is nearby. Are you sure about this?"
Hearing Qian Renyu's words, Qianjun Douluo laughed heartily and said, "Killing Tang Hao? I wouldn't dare guarantee that, but beating him into a cripple is no problem at all."
"Back then, it was the Grand Elder who was too soft-hearted; otherwise, how could Tang Hao have lived until today?"
"Then, Grandpa Qianjun, what exactly happened between the old master and Tang Chen back then?" Qian Renyu couldn't help but ask.
The Sky-Invincible Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, the Land-Invincible Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, and the Sea-Invincible Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi—what kind of love, hate, and grudges existed between these three ninety-nine-level Limit Douluos?
Hearing Qian Renyu ask this, Qianjun Douluo sighed deeply and then said, "It is better to let the Grand Elder tell you that himself in the future."
"Then, Grandpa Qianjun, let's not worry about Tang Hao for now. I'm afraid someone might not agree."
"Who would dare!!!" Qianjun Douluo said domineeringly.
Qian Renyu did not speak, only pointing a finger toward the sky.
Seeing Qian Renyu's action, Qianjun Douluo immediately thought of the matter regarding Qian Xunji.
"Very well, consider him lucky."
"Grandpa Qianjun, actually, we can take revenge on Tang Hao right now."
"Revenge? How?"
"Take away Tang Hao's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."
"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"
"You mean that hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass from back then."
"Indeed. As the successor of the Clear Sky Sect back then, Tang Hao's soul bone slots were already full. He must have hidden this hundred-thousand-year soul bone somewhere."
"But if he is carrying it with him, wouldn't we still have to fight him?"
"No, I have a premonition that Tang Hao definitely did not carry it with him, but left it right nearby."
"A place not far from him, one he could reach at any time."
To be more precise, it was behind a waterfall, where there was a man-made cave containing the main body of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
As for the exact location, that was something Qian Renyu did not know.
"Good, then let's have a good search."
Saying this, Qianjun Douluo took Qian Renyu and began to set off in search.
Before long, Qianjun Douluo discovered the aura left behind by a Title Douluo behind a waterfall.
After cutting through the waterfall, they saw a man-made cave behind it. The cave was small, and the entrance was covered by a barrier.
Qianjun Douluo waved his hand and shattered the barrier.
Upon walking closer, they saw a stalk of Blue Silver Grass; its aura was weak, and its leaves were somewhat withered. This was the true body of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor.
Beside it was a box, and upon opening it, they found exactly the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
At this moment, Qianjun Douluo suddenly said to Qian Renyu, "Xiaoyu, put all these things away, stay here and don't go out. Someone is coming."
After saying this, Qianjun Douluo walked out of the cave.
Standing outside the cave was a man, none other than Tang Hao. The moment the cave's barrier was broken by Qianjun Douluo, Tang Hao had sensed it and immediately set off to rush over.
Qianjun Douluo saw Tang Hao standing outside the cave, with nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—circling his body.
Immediately, Qianjun Douluo also released his nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and five black.
The moment Tang Hao saw Qianjun/Xiangmo Douluo, his brows furrowed. Because Qianjun Douluo and Xiangmo Douluo were twins and looked exactly the same, he, Tang Hao, truly could not tell them apart.
However, this did not hinder their strength. The two brothers were the sixth and seventh elders of Martial Soul Hall, both at level 96. Moreover, they were veteran Title Douluo, and their combat experience was far beyond that of ordinary Title Douluo.
For a moment, Tang Hao did not dare to act rashly, and the two of them reached a bit of a stalemate.
Finally, it was Qianjun Douluo who spoke first: "Tang Hao, what is your business here?"
"Senior Qianjun, I have no malice toward you. As long as you return the item to me, I, Tang Hao, will turn around and leave."
"Oh, what item?"
"Senior, why pretend to be ignorant?"
"Could it be that you are talking about that Blue Silver Grass and that soul bone?"
"This item is destined for my Martial Soul Hall; how could I let it go to someone else?"
"Senior, is there really no room for negotiation?"
"No room for negotiation!!"
"Then this junior will have to offend you."
Suddenly, a mountain-like Clear Sky Hammer descended from the sky, smashing toward Qianjun Douluo.
A Coiling Dragon Staff in Qianjun Douluo's hand rose to meet it.
When the two collided, the resulting shockwave snapped the surrounding trees in half, and countless rocks were pulverized into dust.
"Fifth Soul Skill—Clear Sky Throw."
"Fifth Soul Skill—Pillar Supporting the Heavens."
"Sixth Soul Skill—Clear Sky in the Sky."
"Sixth Soul Skill—Dark Clouds Covering the Peak."
"Seventh Soul Skill—Clear Sky True Body."
"Seventh Soul Skill—Tool Soul True Body."
"Senior is truly formidable. I hope you take good care of your health, Senior. I, Tang Hao, will seek your guidance another day."
In this battle, both sides consciously controlled their soul power, ensuring the aftermath of the fight did not endanger the surroundings.
Otherwise, the power of a battle between Title Douluo would be enough to move mountains and drain seas.
Likewise, neither side used their full strength. This was because Qianjun Douluo had to reserve energy to keep an eye on Qian Renyu, while Tang Hao's old injuries had not yet healed, so he dared not use his Self-Created Soul Skill or Ring Detonation.
Qianjun Douluo walked back into the cave, and Qian Renyu asked:
"Was that person Tang Hao?"
"It was Tang Hao."
"Who won and who lost?"
"No one lost, and no one won."
"How so?" Qian Renyu was a bit puzzled.
Qianjun Douluo replied: "Tang Hao and I both had our reservations and only launched probing attacks. Don't be fooled by the fact that we even used our True Bodies; it was all thunder with very little rain."
Then, Qianjun Douluo suddenly changed his tone and said meaningfully: "As long as it is not a life-or-death struggle, it has nothing to do with winning or losing."
"Once a person is dead, they have naturally lost completely."
"But as long as a person is still alive, winning and losing can flip back and forth in the blink of an eye."
"That is why one must cut the weeds and dig up the roots."
