Inherited Soul Bone

Within the Star Luo Empire, at Haoyang Cliff, the headquarters of the Clear Sky Sect.

At dawn, the winter mist lingered, whether from water vapor or nearly liquefied spiritual energy, it was hard to tell. As the former nesting place of the 70,000-year-old Soul Beast "Heaven-Rending Golden Eagle Emperor," the spiritual energy here was naturally extremely abundant.

Sudden!

A long howl suddenly rose into the sky without warning, echoing throughout the entire Haoyang Cliff.

The collateral disciples and numerous affiliated Soul Master of the Clear Sky Sect below the cliff emerged from their residences and looked up toward the direction from which the sound came from the cliff.

Immediately, there was much discussion.

"That howling sound, piercing through gold and jade, is full of confidence; it must be one of the direct descendants who has broken through in strength, right?"

Early in the morning, Niu Gao, wearing a golden helmet with a single horn and as tall and strong as a city wall, spoke in a deep, booming Niu Gao.

Before the equally burly, muscular Tai Tan beside Niu Gao could speak, two brothers with straight backs, as sturdy as javelins, walked over. The one with the more mature appearance immediately sneered, "Stupid rhinoceros, stop talking nonsense!"

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Niu Gao's face flushed with anger. He glared at the two brothers with his bull-like eyes and roared, "What? Are you two goats itching for a fight? Want to fight?"

"Fight if you want! Are you afraid of me?!" Before Yang Wudi, the leader, could speak, Yang Wushuang, who hadn't said a word, looked at Niu Gao with a fighting spirit.

Although his own strength was a whole realm lower than the big guy opposite him, it was hard to say who would win when the Yang Clan's "Soul Breaking Spear" faced off against the "Armored Giant Rhinoceros" who only knew how to defend!

Besides, even if Yang Wushuang can't win, he still has his older brother Yang Wudi to back him up. In the same realm, neither Niu Gao nor Tai Tan is a match for his older brother!

"Why--"

A soft call rang out, growing louder as it approached. At first, it was still dozens of meters away, and before the echo had faded, a slender figure appeared beside Niu Gao and his companions, spreading his arms and advising them:

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop fooling around. Someone's broken through to a higher level, so let's not make a scene—"

"Tch~" *3

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao and the two brothers, Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, exchanged a glance, spat to themselves, but did not actually start any further argument.

Even so, Niu Gao, feeling increasingly disadvantaged the more he thought about it, was still somewhat displeased. Looking at the Bai He that had just run over, he asked with a barbed tone, "White-feathered bird, tell me, with your status, you should know who's breaking through up there, right?"

Bai He wasn't bothered by being called by a nickname. He rolled his eyes at Bai He Niu Gao but ignored him. Then he looked at Tai Tan, who was standing next to Niu Gao with a happy expression, and tentatively asked, "Gorilla, judging from your expression, you know, right?"

"Hmm~" Tai Tan nodded upon hearing this, and without any pretense, replied, "A couple of days ago, the young master told me that he felt he was close to breaking through, and it could happen in the next couple of days, at any moment—"

"What?!" *3

Before Bai He could react to Tai Tan's words, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and Yang Wushuang exclaimed in unison.

"Young Master Hao... you've broken through?!" Niu Gao's eyes widened in disbelief, almost resembling those of a bull.

"Tang... cough!" Yang Wudi almost blurted out the nickname he used when he was with his younger brother Yang Wushuang, but he quickly realized his mistake and corrected himself, "Young Master Hao, when you sparred with us two months ago, you were probably still at level 49, right?"

"That's right!" Yang Wushuang quickly added, "If he breaks through again, he'll be level 50. After absorbing his Fifth Soul Ring, he'll become Soul King!"

Niu Gao, disregarding his earlier argument with the Yang Clan brothers, chimed in, "The problem is, Young Master Hao only twenty years old, I believe?!"

"Soul King at twenty!" Bai He's face was rosy, and his eyes were filled with pride.

Now that he is nearly forty years old, he is only a high-level Soul King, one level away from Soul Emperor. He has already been caught up to the same level by his nephew Tang Hao, who is more than ten years younger than him. Naturally, he felt a mixture of disappointment and joy, but the joy far outweighed the disappointment.

It was November of the 2607th year of the Douluo Calendar. Tang Hao, the second son of Tang Zhen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, was only twenty years old when he broke through to level 50 in Soul Power and was about to become Soul King.

Of the group, Tai Tan is the oldest, currently forty-two years old, and a level sixty-four Soul Emperor.

Niu Gao is the second oldest, turning forty this year. He broke through to Soul Emperor at the beginning of the year and is not far from reaching level sixty-two.

Yang Wudi is half a year younger than Niu Gao, but his strength is no less than that of Niu Gao, both being level 61 Soul Emperor.

Bai He is one year younger than Niu Gao, currently thirty-nine years old, and a level fifty-nine Soul King.

Yang Wushuang is the youngest, thirty-eight years old, and a level fifty-seven Soul King.

In terms of talent, the five of them are actually quite similar, and they are all expected to become Soul Douluo in the future, enough to support their respective families!

The Bai He raised its head, looking towards the summit of Haoyang Cliff, and murmured to itself, "Sister, do you see? Hao'er is only twenty years old and has already become Soul King. One day, he will surely become a new mountain on the Gaia Douluo Continent, just like the old sect master!"

Thinking of her older sister, who died six years ago after giving birth to her young daughter Tang Yuehua due to a difficult childbirth, Bai He felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.

By the time of Bai He's father, the Bai Clan, known Sharp-Tailed Swift, had dwindled in number. It was only after Bai He's older sister married Tang Zhen, the son of Tang Chen, the "Haotian Clear Sky Douluo," and became the wife of the Clear Sky Sect Sect's leader that the family gradually grew stronger by relying on the Clear Sky Sect.

It can be said that the former [Sharp-Tailed Swift Bai Clan], now the [Speed Clan], was able to join the [Great Strength Gorilla Tai Clan], [Armored Giant Rhinoceros Niu Clan], and [Soul Breaking Spear Yang Clan] in earning the title of "Four Single-Attribute Clans". One of the biggest contributors was Bai He's older sister, who gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the [Clear Sky Sect] sect leader's lineage!

Ten days later, accompanied by a Soul Douluo- level elder from the sect, Tang Hao successfully hunted down a Soul Beast that was over 11,000 years old, easily breaking through to the Soul King Rank with Soul Power of Level 51!

When Tang Hao returned to Haoyang Cliff, where the Clear Sky Sect was located, full of vigor, he found that many of the main and branch lineages of the sect had arrived, as well as the leaders of some affiliated Soul Master families, all waiting for something.

Below Haoyang Cliff, in the sect's main hall.

Tang Zhen sat in the main seat, watching Tang Hao step in. His expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

He announced loudly, "Hao'er, reveal your ' Clear Sky Hammer ' and your Soul Ring!"

"Yes, Father!"

Tang Hao didn't ask why. Apart from nodding to his elder Tang Xiao, who was standing next to Tang Zhen, he only had eyes for his father Tang Zhen in the entire hall. Even though the thirty or forty people on both sides of the hall were the backbone of the Clear Sky Sect, and most of them were stronger than him at this moment.

Tang Hao clenched his right hand forward, and a dark light flashed, instantly transforming into a giant hammer, which Tang Hao held in his hand.

At the same time, five vibrant halos of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black appeared beneath Tang Hao's feet, pulsating upwards.

"Hiss—!" *N

At that moment, a series of gasps echoed through the vast sect hall, and the air seemed to become scorching hot.

Immediately afterwards, whether they had only returned in the last two days after receiving the notice or had known about it long before, they all stared intently at Tang Hao Tang Hao, at the giant hammer in his hand, and at the five halos of light pulsating beneath Tang Hao.

Especially the outermost, largest black Soul Ring!

"Ha ha ha ha--!!!"

Tang Zhen looked at his son Tang Hao's black Fifth Soul Ring and burst into laughter.

After laughing, Tang Zhen surveyed the thirty or forty figures in the hall, his eyes meeting theirs with a commanding gaze, and solemnly announced:

"Today, I entrust one of the three great inherited Soul Bone of my [Clear Sky Sect] to my son, Tang Hao. Do any of you have any objections?!"

Although it was a question, under Tang Zhen's imposing aura, which was almost at the level of Titled Douluo, not a single objection or even a sound was heard in the vast hall.
