Once Tang Hao's arm is restored, and Tang Hao can further activate the Soul Power he has cultivated over the years by suppressing his hidden injuries and enduring life-or-death struggles, Tang Hao should be able to quickly recover to the Titled Douluo level.
In the original novel, after Tang Hao lost his hands and feet, his cultivation level dropped to the level 75 Soul Saint. Afterwards, he stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and, with the help of Ah Yin, he recuperated. Ah Yin also searched for a lot of medicinal herbs to strengthen his body and restore his vitality. Only then did Tang Hao's cultivation level recover to the level 79 Soul Saint.
Later, with Tang San's help, Tang Hao's severed hands and feet regenerated, and his severed right arm bone and left leg bone returned to his body. He then absorbed the two top-grade Soul Bone that were over 50,000 years old, and his cultivation level recovered to at most level 83 or 84, making him Soul Douluo.
As a result, after training, Tang Hao broke through to the 97th level of Titled Douluo. According to Tang Hao, he was able to return to his peak and even break through two levels because the power he had accumulated over the years was activated.
Why would Tang Hao need to unleash his inner power for no apparent reason? Besides the fact that he was severely injured, with various hidden wounds and displaced internal organs, requiring him to constantly use his Soul Power to suppress and heal these internal injuries to prevent them from erupting and causing his sudden death, what else could it be?
According to Tang San's age in the original novel, Tang Hao's time for cultivating his inner power was reduced by eight years. However, Tang Hao's cultivation level only dropped to level 85 Soul Douluo, not level 79 Soul Saint. In other words, once Tang Hao recovers his severed arm and his inner power is unleashed, restoring him to the Titled Douluo realm should not be a problem, and his chances of passing the top-level assessment are very high.
The Qian Daoliu Sect sent a reply to Ghost Leopard Douluo, informing him that Tang Hao was planning to do something. They instructed Ghost Leopard Douluo to return to the Shrek Academy to keep an eye on Yu Xiaogang, and then to have Qian Xunji properly guard the Spirit Hall before heading towards Sea God Island.
Tang Hao's cultivation level dropped to the Soul Douluo realm, and he lost the ability to fly. He needs to go to Vast Sea City first to take a boat to reach Sea God Island, a journey that will take about a month.
This was naturally no match for Qian Daoliu, who could fly freely and whose Martial Soul was the Six-Winged Angel. With his powerful cultivation of a level 99 single Soul Core, plus the amazing flight speed boost brought by the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu was able to see Sea God Island in the distance in just one day.
Under the complete protection of the Sea God's Light, this small island, situated entirely on the sea, has remained unchanged in appearance. It is covered in lush greenery that stretches as far as the eye can see. Various kinds of plants grow on the island, many of which he cannot name.
The air was filled with the scent of the sea, completely different from the damp and salty air of Vast Sea City. The air on Sea God Island was fresh, mild, and invigorating.
As soon as Qian Daoliu entered the invisible barrier of Sea God's Light covering Sea God Island, he felt a spiritual force locking onto him. This spiritual force was no less powerful than his own, and needless to say, this spiritual fluctuation must have come from Bo Saixi.
In the distance, at the very center of Sea God Island, where the Sea God Hall is located, a red dot appeared. In the blink of an eye, the red dot enlarged before their eyes and arrived in front of Qian Daoliu.
Upon returning to Sea God Island, Bo Saixi once again donned the simple red dress that represented her identity as the High Priestess of the Sea God, and always held in her hand the three-meter-long Sea God Scepter that Qian Daoliu had used as a stick to discipline Xiao Jiji.
"Qian Daoliu." Bo Saixi looked Qian Daoliu up and down a few times and said, "You didn't bring Xiao Feng with you?"
Qian Daoliu noticed the displeasure and unwelcome look in Bo Saixi's eyes and said with a faint smile, "Xiao Feng is currently training with his friends at the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Academy. Why aren't you welcoming me here alone?"
Bo Saixi gave a noncommittal look. This was utter nonsense. How could she possibly welcome Qian Daoliu's Qian Daoliu without considering what he had done to her?
They lacked any martial ethics, summoning all the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall to attack her, then brutally beat her until she was unconscious; and then they made outrageous demands, asking Sea God Island to provide the Spirit Hall with billions in subsidies—this was blatant fraud.
If they don't return it, they'll go to war with Sea God Island. They don't even dare to let the Spirit Hall's Soul Master Legion attack Sea God Island. Instead, they shamelessly try to use her name to lure the Sea God Island Soul Master ashore, wait for them to come to their doom, and then ambush them.
Although she had an ambiguous relationship with Qian Daoliu, and on the surface it was she who took the initiative and shamefully pursued him three times, in reality it was Qian Daoliu who forced her with the threat of Sea God Island and the survival of Sea Soul Master!
Staying on the territory of the Spirit Hall — Qian Daoliu —she could neither defeat Qian Daoliu nor withstand the combined attack of more than twenty Titled Douluo the Spirit Hall and Qian Daoliu. It was one thing for her to lower her proud head.
On Sea God Island, her territory, she could draw upon the power of the sea and the power of the Sea God Hall, which was the Sea God Divine Power. With the support of the power of the land and divine power, she believed she was fully capable of killing Qian Daoliu. Qian Xunfeng was not around, why would she need to give Qian Daoliu a friendly face?
Qian Daoliu was well aware that he had indeed gone too far with Bo Saixi, treating her like a child, so he changed the subject. The Soul Tool in his hand lit up, and a warm, life-filled, translucent blue right leg bone appeared in his hand.
"This is..."
Bo Saixi stared at the right leg bone in shock. The Soul Power fluctuations emanating from the right leg bone were nothing to her, but the intensity of the Soul Power fluctuations was far greater than that caused by any Soul Bone in the Sea God Island's inventory.
A top-grade Soul Bone, the best of the best!
Qian Daoliu said, "This is a 100,000-year-old right leg bone."
Bo Saixi exclaimed in shock, "It's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and said, "What, doesn't your Sea God Island have a stockpile of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone? With the strength of the High Priestess of the Sea God, hunting a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast should be a piece of cake."
Bo Saixi was somewhat embarrassed, because while Sea God Island had quite a few ten-thousand-year-level Soul Bone, it truly lacked a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone inventory. Qian Daoliu casually produced a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. In terms of the number of talented individuals, the level of powerful experts, and resource reserves, Sea God Island was simply outmatched by the Spirit Hall.
"With my strength, hunting down a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast is indeed not difficult, but the vast majority of Sea Soul Beast in the ocean have already been conquered by Lord Sea God and become his followers."
"Completing the top-level assessment grants a reward for increasing the age of my Soul Rings. The final Soul Ring can be upgraded to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. There's no need for me to expend great effort to find and hunt down those 100,000-year Sea Soul Beast that aren't followers of the Lord Sea God, to use them as my ninth Soul Ring."
