A Proud, Unyielding Clear Sky Douluo-What Do I Care Whether Spirit Hall Lives or Dies? Tang Hao Begins the Defense Challenge and Detonates His Rings

He looked like he was only hoping to stir up trouble.

His gaze fell on the unconscious Liu Erlong in the arena, and a line of red text appeared in his mind:

[Character: Liu Erlong]

[Spiritual Strength: 144656]

[Rating: C+]

[Reward: Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill]

Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill: The user can obtain a Mutated Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

Note: The Mutated Clear Sky Martial Soul Pill can be given to someone else.

Looking at the system information in his mind, Lin Feng said regretfully:

"Her spiritual strength is only a little over four thousand points short of reaching a B- rating at 150,000. What a pity."

At this moment, challenger Liu Erlong was unconscious.

But the rankings on the "Spiritual" Challenge Gold Stele in the air changed once more.

First place, Liu Erlong.

Second place, Dragon Duke.

Third place, Hu Liena.

Below the arena, tens of thousands of Soul Masters

had no time to pay attention to the Challenge Gold Stele changing overhead.

They were already stunned by the Clear Sky Douluo's imposing presence and strength.

Just as three years ago, when Tang Hao had appeared alone in Spirit City,

fighting Pope Bibi Dong and several Titled Douluos single-handedly to save Tang San.

Today, he had once again won with an invincible bearing,

defeating three offerings from the Worship Hall.

Holy Dragon Douluo, with Soul Power at level 97, and Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo, both at level 96.

The name of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao

had shaken the Soul Master World once again, after three years.

This was the might of Clear Sky, the strength of the continent's former number-one sect.

In the air, Tang Hao's figure appeared.

He wore a tattered gray robe and gripped the Clear Sky Hammer, its red light surging.

His aura was terrifying, bearing down on everything around him.

He was like an undefeated War God, ready to slay the heavens and shake the earth.

However, just then,

Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening.

He hurriedly fought through his injuries and flew toward the arena in the Inner Area.

At the same time, five Titled Douluo elders of Spirit Hall—

Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Ghost Leopard, Demon Bear, and Sea Turtle—were protecting Hu Liena.

They flew in from the distance.

Holy Dragon, Falling Devil, and Thousand Jun weakly rose into the air.

Holy Dragon snarled and shouted:

"Just in time, everyone!"

"The sinner Tang Hao is here!"

"Let's join forces and kill him!"

But the next moment,

Tang Hao's figure leaped onto the arena.

Hu Liena was protected by five Titled Douluos.

The group reached the Outer Area.

They were about to arrive at the Inner Area.

She suddenly noticed the "Spiritual" Challenge Gold Stele in the air.

Her ranking had fallen from second place once again.

Liu Erlong had taken her spot, pushing her down to third.

Hu Liena grew even more anxious and unwilling to accept it.

Last night's B+ rating reward

had given her a divine-level Evil Spirit.

Today was the third day she had been listed on the "Spiritual" Challenge Gold Stele.

She was just about to receive an A+ rating reward.

Who could have guessed that Dragon Duke and Liu Erlong would cut in line?

But, thinking it over,

Dragon Duke and Liu Erlong were both renowned Soul Douluo experts.

No matter how gifted she was,

she was only a level 62 Soul Emperor.

It was only natural for two Soul Douluos to take the rankings from her.

But in the next moment,

a terrifying storm of energy

swept over from the direction of the Inner Area of Star Dou Great Forest.

Their white horses were crushed to death.

Yue Guan hurriedly shielded Hu Liena with his Soul Power.

He flew into the air with her and the other Titled Douluo elders to continue their journey.

But when the six of them reached the Inner Area,

they saw the badly injured and weakened Holy Dragon, Thousand Jun, and Falling Devil.

All three were offerings from the Worship Hall.

Holy Dragon Douluo had Soul Power at level 97, while Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo were both level 96.

What kind of enemy could have injured them so badly?

At that moment, Holy Dragon's furious words

made Hu Liena, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the others turn pale.

They stared fixedly at the gray-robed figure, battered and flying down toward the mysterious arena.

They had never imagined that Spirit Hall's greatest enemy,

Tang Hao, would truly appear here.

Then a dreadful premonition rose in everyone's heart.

Could Tang Hao have come to take on the Star Official Challenge?

At that instant, not only were the five people with Hu Liena stunned,

but Holy Dragon, Falling Devil, and Thousand Jun also looked terrified.

The Star Official Challenge had worked too many miracles over the past few days.

Even while gravely injured, Tang Hao had been astonishingly powerful.

If he completed the Star Official Challenge and received its reward,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yet, while everyone watched in anxious dread,

Tang Hao stepped onto the arena amid their hoarse, furious shouts.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the cushion at the center of the arena.

He watched Tang Hao, who had arrived and was now

spitting blood uncontrollably, using the Clear Sky Hammer to prop himself up as he swayed unsteadily.

Then the Clear Sky Hammer disappeared.

Tang Hao's body collapsed like a mountain crumbling.

He fell heavily to the ground.

The blood-smeared, stubbled face,

the weathered features of this middle-aged man, were full of weariness and pain.

He struggled several times to stand.

It was the pride of a Clear Sky Douluo.

But each time, he fell even harder.

His aura was weak; he was at death's door.

Tang Hao had just used the Clear Sky True Body and Great Sumeru Hammer

to suppress the three offerings, aggravating his already severe injuries.

Now he had reached his limit.

Only his terrifying willpower kept him going.

Lin Feng watched Tang Hao with a calm expression.

He knew the legendary life this man had lived.

If his wife, Ah Yin, had not been hunted down by the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, and his men,

and if killing Qian Xunji had not set off the chain of tragedies that followed,

then with talent no lesser than Tang Chen's,

Tang Hao could have reached the realm of a level 99 Peerless Douluo in time.

He would not have ended up in such a miserable state.

Among the tens of thousands of Soul Masters below the arena,

many regarded Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao

as their lifelong idol, their Faith.

But now they saw him badly wounded and so weak.

They looked at him with pity.

On the arena, Tang Hao struggled for a long time.

He realized that no matter how hard he tried, he could not get back up.
