The Foremost Swordsman of the Current Era

Does Martial Soul Hall lack soul bones?

With tens of thousands of years of accumulation, naturally, they do not.

Or rather, they do not lack conventional soul bones.

The high-ranking members of Martial Soul Hall in this era are all faithful believers of the Angel God; therefore, they do not engage in large-scale hunting of soul beasts to obtain rare soul bones like other factions, solely for the sake of acquiring bones from special bloodlines.

Except for those accidentally obtained during soul hunting, the soul bones in Martial Soul Hall are either accumulated and passed down over many years or purchased from the market.

Most soul bones that circulate on the market are of very average quality.

Even Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are rarely of high quality.

After all, the value of a soul bone depends not only on its age but also on the soul beast it originated from, whether its attributes are compatible, what its soul bone skill is, and how complete the bone is.

The elders of Martial Soul Hall are top-tier existences in both talent and martial soul; unless they encounter a soul bone with a special bloodline or one that perfectly matches their own martial soul, they will not fuse with it. As for the soul bones in the Treasure Pavilion of Martial Soul Hall, it is difficult for them to catch their eyes.

Furthermore, Martial Soul Hall is a massive organization with strict regulations: one can only receive a soul bone as a reward if they have rendered great service.

Due to various reasons, even the elders of Martial Soul Hall do not possess many soul bones.

Even an existence like Golden Crocodile Douluo only has three soul bones. One of them is a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul bone, which he obtained by hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone, while the other two are fifty thousand and thirty thousand years old, respectively.

Given his status, position, and the contributions he has made, he could fully enter the Treasure Pavilion of Martial Soul Hall to select a soul bone that suits him, yet he has never done so.

The reason is simple: he looks down on ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Only a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone possessing a golden bloodline could catch his eye.

"Father, thank you!"

Hearing Qian Daoliu say this, Qian Xunji immediately became happy.

With Yue Guan's contributions, he could indeed be rewarded with a soul bone, but Gui Mei did not have that privilege.

Her father doing this was clearly giving her an opportunity to win people over.

After giving some further instructions, Qian Daoliu left Martial Soul Hall and headed straight for the sea.

He did not conceal his figure or his aura.

This move was naturally intended to intimidate the petty-minded.

Having not appeared in the world for several years, he had heard that some had begun to question the majesty of Martial Soul Hall. Qian Daoliu wanted to tell the world that he, the Angel Douluo, was still alive, and in the future, when facing his daughter, they should not forget that there was a level 99 Peerless Douluo behind her.

As for whether leaving the Worship Hall would invite others to sneak attack Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu was not worried about such things.

With Golden Crocodile there, apart from Tang Chen, no one could invade Martial Soul Hall.

As for Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu felt that, given the friendship between them, the other party would not resort to such despicable tactics.

"Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, he is still alive!"

In Tiandou City, a thin, sharp-edged old man looked at Qian Daoliu in the distant sky. A flash of sharpness appeared in his eyes, and a fierce aura erupted from his body instantly.

His fighting spirit was soaring.

He had been trapped at level 97 for many years, unable to advance further.

Even his practice of the sword dao had fallen into a bottleneck.

He craved an ultimate battle, a battle at the peak of the sword dao, to seek the opportunity to advance further.

Among the strong of this world, there were two he regarded as his targets.

The Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu, titled Angel, a level 99 Limit Douluo.

The Sect Master of Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, titled Clear Sky, a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Compared to the latter, he was more eager to challenge the former to seek a breakthrough.

Because the former was also a practitioner of the sword.

"Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, I will wait for your return at Martial Soul Hall!"

The tall, thin old man stared fixedly at the distant sky. Although they had not fought, as a fellow practitioner of the sword, he could feel the sharp aura emanating from Qian Daoliu.

He was certain that the opportunity for his cultivation and sword dao to advance further lay with Qian Daoliu.

But at the moment, the other party clearly had more important things to do; challenging him now would not be a rational move.

"Chen Xin, let's go, we are going to Martial Soul Hall!"

The tall, thin old man looked at his son, who was also a Title Douluo, and after rising, he headed straight in the direction of Martial Soul Hall.

This tall, thin old man was named Chen Jianjun.

He was the number one person in sword dao on the current Douluo Continent.

Within the Clear Sky Sect, the contemporary Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Chen, also sensed Qian Daoliu's aura.

"What is this old brat doing, making such a big fuss?"

Tang Chen did not understand Qian Daoliu's actions at all.

At first, he thought he was coming to fight him.

But soon he discovered that Qian Daoliu's direction was not aimed at their Clear Sky Sect.

"Grandfather, I want to learn the Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky!"

Just as Tang Chen was preparing to set off to investigate what Qian Daoliu was planning, a burly young man ran up to Tang Hao, his face full of pride and arrogance as he declared his desire to learn the Clear Sky Secret Arts of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Hao'er, since you have such determination and do not fear hardship, today, Grandfather shall impart the Clear Sky Secret Arts to you."

Seeing this gifted grandson, Tang Chen immediately dismissed the thought of going to intercept Qian Daoliu.

He turned his attention to painstakingly teaching his grandson, Tang Hao.

As for Qian Daoliu, there was no need to pay him any mind at all.

No matter how much he stirred up trouble, he would never be a match for him.

"Hao'er, once you have inherited the Clear Sky Sect's secret arts and possess the power to fight beyond your rank, Grandfather will take you to challenge Qian Daoliu to a wager."

"That old fellow cares deeply about his reputation; seeing that your strength is not inferior to his daughter's, he certainly won't refuse the bet."

"Once you win, you shall propose to marry his daughter and lure the Six-Winged Angel martial soul into our Clear Sky Sect."

"Although that old brat's strength is nothing to write home about, the Angel martial soul of their lineage is quite good. Get your hands on his daughter and keep the Six-Winged Angel martial soul in our Clear Sky Sect by any means necessary."

"Once this is accomplished, in the future, our Clear Sky Sect will be dominated by the Clear Sky Hammer, supplemented by the Six-Winged Angel, and we shall truly suppress the entire continent."

Tang Chen guided Tang Hao in cultivating the Clear Sky Secret Arts while simultaneously laying out his mission.

"Qian Xunji? I heard that woman is older than me; I refuse to marry her!"

The young Tang Hao was in the midst of his rebellious phase and rejected the matter without hesitation.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, Tang Hao was sent flying by a hammer blow from Tang Chen.

"I'll marry her, I'll marry her..."

"Grandfather, that's not what I meant. I just think that woman's cultivation speed is too slow, her talent is too poor, and she's older than me; she is completely unworthy of your grandson."

"She could serve as a concubine, but as a primary wife, she lacks the qualifications entirely."

After being struck by the hammer, Tang Hao immediately became sensible and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, though his tone remained filled with arrogance.

"Hahaha, my grandson has spirit!"

Tang Chen did not get angry; instead, he laughed.

The future successor of his Clear Sky Sect ought to possess such a domineering attitude.
