Old Servant Titan and His Son Tai Nuo Greet the Young Master!

In the northwest corner of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital stands a majestic mansion, covering a vast area and exuding extreme luxury.

Its main gate towers over ten meters high, imposing and intimidating, with two massive stone statues standing symmetrically before it.

The statues depict a soul beast with knotted muscles, resembling a giant ape, its ferocious appearance seemingly radiating endless brute force.

This is the residence of the Slave Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans that once belonged to the Clear Sky Sect.

That ape-like stone statue is none other than the martial soul passed down through generations of the Strength Clan—the Giant Strength Ape!

In terms of top-tier combat power, the Slave Clan might not be comparable to the behemoths of the Upper Three Sects, which possess Title Douluo.

However, looking across the entire Douluo Continent, these servants are by no means mediocre; even compared to the sects of the Lower Four, the Slave Clan holds its own thanks to the sheer might of their martial souls.

Moreover, the current patriarch of the Slave Clan, Titan, is a genuine high-level Soul Douluo!

Such a status would be incredibly prestigious anywhere else.

It is a pity that he hitched his wagon to the wrong master, leaving him white-haired and unable to take that final step to become a Title Douluo.

Yet today, the Slave Clan welcomes their true master and their supreme sovereign!

When Jiang Li arrived at the gate with Tang San and Sister Xiao Wu, there was no pretense of etiquette whatsoever.

The soul power of a Soul Douluo erupted within him, his voice amplified to echo throughout the surroundings: "Titan, get out here and see me!"

Jiang Li: Do these mere servants expect me to give them a pleasant look?

Tang San: These mere servants actually dare not come out to welcome my great master? Could it be they are courting death?

Sister Xiao Wu: Ugh, a bunch of brutes, Sister Xiao Wu doesn't like them!

Titan, who had been happily forging away inside the mansion, felt his temper flare up as he heard someone shouting so arrogantly outside!

Their Strength Clan might have declined compared to when they followed the Clear Sky Sect, but they were not just any stray dogs that anyone could provoke!

"Arrogant!"

The phantom of a Giant Strength Ape flickered behind him, and eight standard soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—swirled beneath his feet.

At the same time, the disciples of the Strength Clan moved quickly; whoever was spouting nonsense outside their mansion today would pay a heavy price!

Soon, Jiang Li and his group were surrounded by the disciples of the Strength Clan as they poured out. They automatically split into two rows, and a tall, white-haired old man with bloodshot eyes and heavy, panting breaths stepped out from the center.

"Kid, who gave you the guts to bark at the gates of my Strength Clan..."

Titan had been arrogant before he arrived, but once he saw Jiang Li and the others, his reprimand died on his lips, his voice trailing off.

For no other reason than the fact that the two blue-haired men before him brought a sense of familiarity he hadn't felt in years.

Furthermore, the faint, lingering aura emanating from Jiang Li clearly marked him as a Soul Douluo as well!

Years ago, when he followed his master, he had caught a distant glimpse of the mistress. This same life force and similar appearance—could it be...

"Kid, my father is asking you a question, and you still won't speak? You are simply..."

The speaker was Titan's eldest son, Tai Nuo, known in Heaven Dou City as the God of Strength.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Titan elbowed him flying with a single strike.

"Your Excellency, I am truly sorry. It is my failure in teaching my son. May I ask..."

Titan hesitated, wanting to know if the person before him had any connection to his master or mistress, but he dared not ask directly, lest it be a grave disrespect to his master.

After being sent flying, Tai Nuo, who had landed heavily on the ground, was completely bewildered.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What just happened?

A faint, imperceptible smile curled the corners of Jiang Li's mouth. "Titan, are you sure you want to talk here?"

The latter suddenly realized and hurriedly welcomed Jiang Li and his party into the mansion with the utmost respect.

After the three of them had fully entered, Titan followed behind, head bowed and eyes lowered.

The other members of the Strength Clan saw their patriarch acting this way and, though confused, dared not ask.

Had they not just seen their young patriarch inexplicably elbowed away by his own father?

The group arrived at the council hall of the Strength Clan. Tang San respectfully guided his master to the main seat, while he and Sister Xiao Wu stood respectfully on either side of Jiang Li.

Titan entered afterward and stood respectfully below, like a student about to be reprimanded by his teacher.

The other members of the Strength Clan stood honestly behind him.

Though they were even more confused to see Jiang Li sitting in the main seat, they understood that from this moment on, the sky over the Strength Clan might be changing.

"Titan, can all the clansmen here be absolutely trusted?"

Jiang Li asked first, and the latter nodded, signaling that there was no need to worry about that.

However, he also reacted; if things were as he suspected—that the young boy was his young master and had awakened the Clear Sky Hammer—then it certainly could not be known by too many people.

"Tai Nuo, you stay. The rest of the clansmen, withdraw."

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. A servant who knows his master's mind so well is truly lovable.

Tang San's lips curled into an identical smile; with these servants so well-versed in their master's intentions, transforming the Strength Clan into the foundation of the Tang Sect would be twice the result for half the effort.

Soon, only five people remained in the spacious room: Jiang Li, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Titan, and Tai Nuo.

Following a signal from Jiang Li's eyes, Tang San stepped forward and opened his left hand.

A small, pitch-black hammer slowly manifested in his palm.

"This... this is... the Clear Sky Hammer!"

Titan exclaimed in agitation, his entire body trembling from sheer excitement!

"Child, your father is..."

"Tang Hao."

Titan immediately knelt on the ground, his face beaming with exhilaration.

Seeing his foolish son still standing there in a daze, he was thoroughly displeased.

What is this? What is wrong with this boy? Has he forgotten the most basic hierarchy?

Instantly, a surge of soul power erupted from his body, forcing Tai Nuo directly onto his knees.

The room immediately echoed with Titan's excited voice, "Old servant Titan, along with my dog of a son Tai Nuo, pays respects to the Young Master!"

This sudden commotion left Tang San completely bewildered.

Before coming here, Jiang Li had told him that the people of the Strength Clan would be extremely loyal to him, but he never imagined they would be loyal to this extent.
