Not buddies, what do you mean the one who got the Sea God's inheritance is the Angel Martial Soul?
Traveling day and night, they arrived covered in dust.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao did not dare to stop along the way, finally stepping into the territory of the Clear Sky Sect after several days.
All around, mountains stood in embrace, shrouded in swirling clouds and mist.
As the number one sect in the world, the Clear Sky Sect was hidden deep within these natural fortifications.
Though it remained ancient, imposing, and majestic, it also exuded an inescapable sense of desolation.
Within the mountain gates, disciples moved about with solemnity, yet the sect lacked the world-dominating aura it possessed when Tang Chen presided over it.
In the main hall, seated upon the central throne was the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Zhen.
Dressed in grey robes with a dignified countenance and restrained soul power, he was a veteran Title Douluo.
Seeing his two sons return in such a rush with their auras in disarray, Tang Zhen furrowed his brows tightly and spoke first: "Didn't the two of you go out to temper yourselves on the continent? Why have you returned so hastily?"
Tang Hao laughed, his face filled with irrepressible ecstasy, not a trace of the fatigue from their journey remaining: "Tempering? To hell with tempering!"
"Father, you have no idea how heaven-defying our luck was! We actually encountered something from the legends!"
He was truly excited to his very core.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast taking human form—that was a legend that only existed in ancient records!
For a soul beast to cultivate for a hundred thousand years was already a life-or-death struggle; for one to willingly abandon its cultivation to take human form was one in a billion.
Throughout the vast history of the continent, very few had ever seen it with their own eyes.
As for why Ah Yin would choose this path, Tang Hao did not care in the slightest, even secretly thinking to himself that she must have been out of her mind.
Had someone else not exposed her identity, the two brothers would likely never have known that such a walking treasure had been hiding right beside them.
Tang Zhen felt a surge of suspicion, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two as he asked: "Something from the legends? What exactly is it?"
Tang Hao did not answer directly, instead stepping aside to gently place the still-unconscious Ah Yin, whom he had been carrying on his shoulder, onto the ground.
Ah Yin lay there quietly, her long azure hair spread out, her beauty peerless; even in unconsciousness, she exuded a pure and gentle aura.
"Father, look at her."
Tang Zhen's gaze sharpened, his Title Douluo soul power quietly extending to touch upon Ah Yin.
In just an instant, Tang Zhen's pupils contracted violently, and he stood up from his seat, his face filled with shock!
Life essence, soul beast aura, the mark of transformation...
There could be no mistake!
This woman was actually a soul beast in human form!
And for a soul beast to achieve human form, its cultivation must be at least a hundred thousand years!
Though he had never seen one with his own eyes, that did not mean he had never heard of them.
Tang Zhen took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions, and his gaze toward his two sons shifted: "You... you actually encountered such an existence?"
"Yes!"
Tang Hao nodded excitedly, admitting: "Father, we've struck it rich!"
Tang Zhen steadied himself and asked in a deep voice: "Since that is the case, how do you intend to deal with her?"
Tang Hao had already planned it out and spoke immediately: "On the way back, my brother and I already discussed it. I want her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and my brother wants her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone!"
"I am already a Soul Douluo, not far from becoming a Title Douluo. Once I break through to level ninety, I will immediately absorb her soul ring! But before that, we must seal her soul power and lock her in the dungeon under strict guard. We cannot let her commit suicide, nor can we let her escape!"
Tang Zhen nodded slightly; this arrangement was indeed most beneficial to the Clear Sky Sect.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone were enough to instantly grant the Clear Sky Sect two top-tier combatants.
In this way, even if Tang Chen did not return, the sect could rise to a new level.
However, his expression darkened as he asked the most critical question: "Besides you two brothers, who else knows about this?"
Regarding this, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao did not hide anything, recounting the entire sequence of events.
Upon discovering that it had nothing to do with the Martial Soul Hall, his originally tense and worried expression instantly relaxed.
Nowadays, with Tang Chen, the level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, absent, the Clear Sky Sect no longer possessed the same deterrent power it once had.
If they were to antagonize the Martial Soul Hall over this, life would likely become even more difficult in the future.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the reception hall of the Pope Palace.
The moment the question Qian Daoliu wanted to know was asked, the room fell into immediate silence.
After Sea Dragon Douluo and Ye Qing exchanged glances, they had no idea how to answer.
How could they say it?
Should they say that the successor of the Sea God had awakened an Angel martial soul?
Seeing the two remain silent, Qian Daoliu and the others became even more curious.
It was just a question about a martial soul; was it really that difficult to answer?
Especially the expression on Sea Dragon Douluo's face, caught between wanting to laugh and struggling to hold it back, made everyone's hearts itch with curiosity.
"What, is it inconvenient to say?" Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow.
Ye Qing gave a light cough, a look of unnaturalness on his face: "I can say it, but... you seniors must steady yourselves, don't let your blood pressure spike."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Qian Xunji couldn't help but laugh: "You child, you underestimate us far too much."
The other Elders nodded in succession.
They were all peak Douluo, having seen countless rare treasures and top-tier Martial Souls.
How could they be thrown off balance by a child's Martial Soul?
Seeing this, Ye Qing hesitated no longer.
He let out a soft sigh, and then the soul power within his body began to surge.
In an instant, a brilliant golden light erupted from his body, like a second sun, illuminating the entire reception hall as if it were broad daylight.
A pure and sacred aura of light permeated the air, carrying an inviolable majesty amidst its scorching heat.
"This aura..."
Qian Xunji frowned slightly, subconsciously looking toward Qian Daoliu, and asked in a low voice: "Father, is this my imagination? Why do I feel... it's somewhat similar to our own aura?"
Not just him, even Qian Daoliu was stunned, shaking his head as he said: "It must be an illusion. How could the Sea God's inheritance have anything to do with light?"
Before his words had even faded, the light behind Ye Qing suddenly condensed.
Immediately following, six massive golden wings slowly unfurled, every feather appearing as if crafted from the purest gold, flowing with a holy luster.
In the center of the wings, the phantom of a small, golden longsword flickered in and out of existence, reflecting the wings and radiating an aura that looked down upon the world.
Seraphim!
It was the Seraphim Martial Soul, even purer and more powerful than the Six-Winged Angel!
Seeing this scene, the smile on Qian Xunji's face froze.
His mouth hung slightly open, but he couldn't utter a single word.
The several Elders widened their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, staring fixedly at the wings of light behind Ye Qing, their blood seemingly frozen in their veins.
Qian Daoliu stood up abruptly from his seat, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he exclaimed in shock: "Hea—Heavenly Angel?!"
Are you kidding me!
Is there some kind of mistake?!
What do you mean the one who received the Sea God's inheritance is a possessor of the Angel Martial Soul?
This is even more heaven-defying than Tang Chen converting to Martial Soul Hall!
One must know, while the Sea God and the Angel God are not mortal enemies, they are, at the very least, two distinct and clearly separated deities.
Since that is the case, the question arises: how could the inheritor of an oceanic deity awaken a light-attribute Angel Martial Soul?
Is this truly the will of the Sea God, or... is there some hidden secret behind it?
