Clear Sky's Decline

"The God-Sealing Formation —Activate!!!"

Ling Yi broke free from Yang Shelly and Ah Yin's grasp, took two steps to the edge of the training ground, and slammed his palm onto a silver metal brick, channeling his Soul Power into it like a surging tide. 😎🐨 ♢🐻

"What is this...?" *4

Seeing Ling Yi's actions, the four girls, who had initially thought that the silver metal bricks surrounding the martial arts arena were just for decoration, were stunned.

Especially Yang Shelly and Ah Yin, who had just been forced to let go by Ling Yi's strength, had witnessed Ling Yi building the City Lord’s Mansion beneath their feet.

The two women knew exactly how many similar metal bricks Ling Yi had laid throughout the entire City Lord’s Mansion!

The two women exchanged a glance instinctively, and tacitly kept this information to themselves.

On the other side, in the vast training ground, silvery-white Soul Power light rapidly lit up, as if electricity was flowing on a circuit board, and in an instant it had spread throughout the entire training ground.

At the same time, Chen Xin had already entered the "Seven Kill Avatar" state. A nearly ten-meter-tall ice-blue phantom appeared behind him, and the "Seven Kill Sword" in front of him suddenly grew to six meters in length.

When the icy blue phantom behind Chen Xin reached out and grasped the gigantic "Seven Kill Sword," a terrifying force erupted instantly, and began to wrestle with "Erlang," whose hands were still clasped together, gripping the tip of the "Seven Kill Sword Erlang."

More than 500 tons, or over a million catties, of force were applied to the giant "Seven Kill Sword Seven Kill Sword," causing it to emit a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if the sword itself was groaning in agony.

However, what made Chen Xin frown was that Erlang's power was still increasing!

Fortunately, just as Chen Xin was about to unleash his Eighth Soul Skill to distract Erlang's power, the training ground beneath his feet was already covered with silver-white light patterns.

In an instant!

Before everyone's eyes shone a bright light. The silvery-white rays emerged from under the Jin Gang on the ground, transforming into silvery-white chains of light that coiled around the nearly three-meter-tall "Erlang" like serpents, binding him tightly.

Influenced by these silvery-white chains of light, Erlang's armor also shone brightly. The gold and black patterns at each joint began to glow, blocking the liquid-like lightning power that was about to form a golden dragon pattern.

As the formation of the "Thunder Dragon Battle Markings" was interrupted, the rampaging thunder power on "Erlang" was momentarily halted.

The next second, a moment of clarity appeared in the eyes that were gradually going mad under the silver-white mask. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Erlang continued to exert force with his left hand, but suddenly pulled back with his right hand. The misaligned force immediately caused the tip of the giant "Seven Kill Sword" to deflect to the right by about a meter away.

On Chen Xin's side, feeling the change in power from the "Seven Kill Sword" in his hand, he hesitated for a moment, then followed the opponent's force and turned the sword, then took the opportunity to sheathe the sword and retreat to a stop more than ten meters away.

Erlang stood still.

Or rather, being bound by dozens or even hundreds of silver-white chains, the movements he just made were the most extreme changes he could manage.

Seeing that "Erlang" was trapped, Chen Xin frowned and turned to look at Ling Yi, who was striding towards the center of the field, as well as his father Chen Jianjun Yang Shelly, who were only half a step behind.

Ling Yi nodded to Chen Xin, then quickly walked to Erlang. He made a sword with his right index and middle fingers and touched the "Return to Origin Seal" between his eyebrows. A golden-green light containing the aura of the Origin of Life shot out and landed on the other's body, repairing the damage to his body caused by the overload of "Thunder Mode".

Only then did everyone realize that, apart from the acrid smell caused by the lightning, there was also a meaty aroma in the training ground!

Their gazes fell upon "Erlang," who was shrouded in silver armor, and the crowd wore a variety of complex expressions.

When Erlang's aura completely subsided and his figure returned to its original state, the silver chains Entanglement around his body broke off one by one under Ling Yi's control.

Ling Yi patted the other's shoulder without saying anything. "Erlang" immediately clasped his hands in a salute to Chen Xin, and then bowed to Chen Jianjun. Before the two could respond, he turned and strode away, heading towards the stone house outside the martial arts arena.

Watching Erlang's retreating figure, Ling Yi turned to Chen Jianjun and his son Chen Xin with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, Erlang is aloof and not good with words. He just used power beyond his limit and is now in a hurry to go back and recuperate. Please forgive his rudeness, seniors."

"It's alright~" Chen Jianjun waved his hand, glanced at his son who had already withdrawn from the ' Seven Kill Avatar ', then turned his gaze to Erlang's back, saying with admiration in his eyes, "It's clear that this is a seeker of the Dao who is focused on the path of combat; his talent and temperament are both top-notch!"

Although Erlang was always shrouded in silver armor, obscuring his face, at Chen Jianjun's level, sensing aura solely through spiritual power was enough to achieve what ordinary Soul Master could only do by examining bones. It might not be perfectly precise, but it wouldn't be far off.

In his perception, Erlang was not very old, even younger than Ling Yi and Yang Shelly beside him.

At such a young age and with such strength, in terms of talent, he is in no way inferior to that little girl Ah Yin, and in terms of combat power alone, he is even superior to her!

Faced with Chen Jianjun's praise, Ling Yi accepted it without question. Since it wasn't a compliment, there was no need to be modest. With a bright smile, he said, "Erlang is indeed the person with the highest combat talent I've ever met!"

Chen Jianjun nodded, confirming, "A few days ago, I encountered Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect in Fire Maple City, the capital of the North Yue Kingdom. Although I didn't see him make a move, judging from his aura, this Erlang is in no way inferior to that kid!"

To be honest, that's a very high rating!

In terms of age, Erlang is younger than Ling Yi, while Tang Hao is four years older than Ling Yi.

In terms of Soul Power, Erlang was only a Soul King at this time, while Tang Hao was already Soul Saint!

However, in the perception of Chen Jianjun, a Level 96 Super Douluo, "Erlang" is no weaker than Tang Hao!

That makes sense, Chen Xin's combat power is already among the best in the same realm. Even Tang Hao, who is now at the Chen Xin Soul Saint realm, might not be able to force Chen Xin into the situation he just faced, but "Erlang" did it!

That terrifying power of lightning, the unparalleled physical strength, and the domineering battle intent that could shatter the heavens—even a Titled Douluo might not possess just one of these qualities, yet this "Erlang" possesses them all!

Can Tang Hao do it?

[Barak Kingdom], [Suotuo City], Suotuo Great Soul Fighting Arena.

Tang Yuehua held the "Azure Nether Divine Sword" in her hand, surrounded by a pale blue whirlwind. Her long, flowing hair and azure dress fluttered in the wind, making her look like a goddess of the wind.

Although only fifteen years old, she already possesses an extraordinary and unparalleled charm.

Faced with such a stunningly beautiful opponent, the seventeen-year-old Aode was momentarily at a loss.

Perhaps influenced by his subjective consciousness, the "Ghost King Vine" in Aode's hand seemed to lack fighting spirit. The bright purple thorny vines crawled at his feet, piled together with the two Yellow Soul Ring at his feet.

"Young lady, I am a level 29 Two-Ring Grand Soul Master, while you are a level 19 One-Ring Soul Master. The difference in our strength is quite significant. Also, my ' Ghost King Vine ' Martial Soul is incredibly poisonous, several times stronger than ordinary ' Ghost Vine.' Once you are pierced by its thorns, the poison will immediately spread until it turns into pus..."

Aode looked at Tang Yuehua across from him, somewhat at a loss, and earnestly advised her.

Faced with Aode's kindness, Tang Yuehua smiled elegantly, raised her longsword, pointed the blade, and said confidently, "Don't worry, bring it on! Since I dare to challenge Two-Ring Grand Soul Master with only One-Ring Soul Master's strength, I naturally have my own plans!"

This person is of decent character. Although his charm also plays a part, Tang Yuehua could tell that even if another One-Ring Soul Master were here, he would still offer some advice.

With his level 29 at the age of seventeen, breaking through to level 30 and becoming Three-Ring Soul Elder is just a natural progression. His talent is quite good, and if he receives sufficient resources, he is likely to become Soul Saint in the future. We can consider inviting him to join the Clear Sky Sect.

Although the Clear Sky Sect is currently the number one sect in the world, enjoying a prosperous and thriving scene, Tang Yuehua, as the daughter of Tang Zhen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, is well aware of the Clear Sky Sect's weakness.

The Clear Sky Sect ultimately ascended to the throne of the world's number one sect thanks to the efforts of its grandfather, Tang Chen. Although its foundation was not weak, it was only comparable to the top-tier forces on the continent. When its grandfather, Tang Chen, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, was alive, things were fine. However, now that its grandfather has been away for many years and there has been no news of him, and its father Tang Zhen, has suffered an incurable serious injury, greatly weakening its vitality.

If it weren't for the fact that the First Elder successfully broke through to the Titled Douluo realm a few years ago, and that few people knew about my father's injuries, those affiliated clans that joined because of the title of "Number One Sect in the World" would probably have already been stirring up trouble.

It can be said that once any changes occur within the Clear Sky Sect, apart from a handful of Four Single-Attribute Clans, most of them are unreliable.

The Four Single-Attribute Clans, are closely connected. The Bai Clan Speed Clan and the Clear Sky Sect Tang Family are related by marriage; their clan leader, Bai He, is the maternal uncle of the three siblings. The current clan leader of the Strength Clan Tai Tan, has sworn allegiance to his second Tang Hao. Several elders intend to propose marriage to the Breaking Clan, arranging for a direct descendant of the Tang Family to marry a direct descendant of the Yang Clan, thus strengthening the ties between the two clans...

Without the long-standing heritage of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the current Clear Sky Sect can only learn from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and unite the forces of outsiders through marriage alliances.

Of course, the Clear Sky Sect has the foundation laid by the grandfather Tang Chen, and the Clear Sky Hammer is also Top-Level Martial Soul. With the combination of the two, given enough time, the sect will surely produce more Titled Douluo- level powerhouses, truly allowing the Clear Sky Sect to firmly hold its position as the number one sect in the world!

Not to mention, the eldest Tang Xiao, possesses the potential to become a titled Douluo; within fifteen years at most, he will undoubtedly become Titled Douluo and take over the heavy responsibility from their father's shoulders. The second Tang Hao, even has talent that rivals their grandfather Tang Chen; given time, he might very well become the third Level 99 Peerless Douluo on the Douluo Continent!

What she had to do was to devise strategies for the Clear Sky Sect, recruit talents to enrich the sect's middle and lower levels, and solidify the Clear Sky Sect's foundation as the "Number One in the World," making it no longer superficial.

During her years of residence at the [Heavenly Craft Academy], Tang Yuehua has brought in many outstanding students for the sect, and each of them has demonstrated surprising talents within the sect.

As for the Control System Grand Soul Master named Aode, although his current strength is not great, his talent is decent. After joining the Clear Sky Sect, he can become a good mid-level combatant in the future.

With various thoughts swirling in her mind, Tang Yuehua held the "Azure Nether Divine Sword," her body radiating Sword Intent. Under the influence of the Qingfeng Aura, even Aode felt a slight pressure from his opponent, who immediately stopped hesitating and poured his pale purple Soul Power into the "Ghost King Vine" Martial Soul in his hand.

In the audience, the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao sat together, silently watching their sister Tang Yuehua wielding her sword and fighting on the Soul Fighting stage below.

At one point, Tang Hao suddenly sneezed without warning, causing Tang Xiao, who was beside him, to turn his head and look at him with surprise.

Tang Hao raised his hand and rubbed his nose, saying with some puzzlement, "That's strange—"

"You—"

Tang Xiao smiled and looked at him, about to say something, when suddenly his expression changed and his gaze turned to the Soul Fighting Arena below.

Tang Hao, who was standing next to him, also looked over with a solemn expression, ignoring the sneeze he had just had.

As Aode's "Ghost King Vine" pressed closer and closer, and under the threat of the parasitic spores that filled the entire Soul Fighting Arena, Tang Yuehua activated the "Azure Nether Divine Sword" in her hand at maximum power. The Sword Intent almost materialized, and the whirlwind brought by the Breeze Sword Intent resisted the light and ethereal poisonous spores. Sharp sword qi wind blades strangled the bright purple poisonous vines.

However, even the best-laid plans can have flaws. Tang Yuehua's strength was ultimately only that of a level 19, One-Ring Soul Master. Even though she wielded the "Azure Nether Divine Sword," which could injure Soul King, she still did not fare as well as she had against Control System Power Attack System Soul Master, who was also a power-attack type, when facing a control-type Haote who was a counter to Power Attack System.

As Tang Yuehua fell into danger, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao in the audience were ready to intervene at any time. After all, none of the three siblings were Healing System Soul Master. If Tang Yuehua was injured, ordinary injuries would be fine, but the nerve toxin of the "Ghost King Vine" was too potent, just as Aode had said before. Tang Yuehua's level 19 Soul Power could not withstand it for long.

As for relying on the physicians and Healing System Soul Master at the Suotuo Great Soul Fighting Arena for timely treatment, the brothers were unwilling to take that risk.

Fortunately, whether it was due to Tang Yuehua's own good fortune or Aode held back, Tang Yuehua, despite being in danger, did not suffer any further injuries. On the contrary, under the immense pressure, her mind became more focused than ever before, and she perceived the "Breeze Sword Intent" carried by the "Azure Nether Divine Sword" in her hand more and more clearly.

At a certain moment, with a sword strike, a visible cyan Sword Radiance flew out. Under its incomparably sharp aura, dozens or even hundreds of venomous snake-like "Ghost King Vine" vines in front of Tang Yuehua were swept away, and a brief gap appeared in the battle on the Soul Fighting Arena.

Aode hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Tang Yuehua's aura seemed to have changed slightly and she was breathing softly, he ultimately did not continue to attack.

"This kid's not bad~"

From the audience, Tang Hao glanced disdainfully at Aode, who had stopped fighting, and said condescendingly.

On the other side, after catching her breath, Tang Yuehua smiled gently at Aode, flipped her hand to hold the "Azure Nether Divine Sword" upside down, turned to look at the host below the Soul Fighting, and said, "I concede~"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yuehua glanced once more at the somewhat bewildered Aode, then turned and walked off the Soul Fighting Arena.

As for recruiting Aode, let's talk about that later. Her priority now is to go back and cultivate, and retain the insights she gained from that sword strike.

Tang Yuehua had a premonition that as long as she truly comprehended and mastered the "Breeze Sword Intent," the barrier between level nineteen and level twenty would be easily broken!

Thinking of this, Tang Yuehua became so excited that she could hardly contain herself.

No one would crave improvement in strength more than her. As the eldest daughter of the number one sect in the world, the Clear Sky Sect, and the daughter of Tang Zhen, the "Heaven-Shaking Douluo," she was actually a useless person who couldn't cultivate?!

Tang Yuehua believed that no one on the Douluo Continent could resonate with this feeling!

Whenever she thought of this, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but think of that man, that man who always seemed so calm and collected.

"Ling Yi ~"

As she softly uttered those two words, a hint of confusion flashed in Tang Yuehua's eyes.

He was a man who amazed her, but unfortunately, he was unwilling to join the Clear Sky Sect.

Although Tang Yuehua hadn't asked yet, she knew the other party wouldn't agree.

If Ling Yi was willing, Tang Yuehua had even considered marrying Yang Shelly, even if it meant going through a marriage alliance!

Unfortunately, thinking of Yang Shelly, who was willing to withdraw from the [Breaking Clan] for Ling Yi's sake, Tang Yuehua shook her head slightly in her heart.

She can't do it.

To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
