Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen Exposed! The Three Peerless Douluo!

Tang Chen stepped into the air.

The giant hammer crashed down.

The Titled Douluo at the front was smashed straight into the mountainside.

The second hammer swept across.

The Martial Soul True Bodies of two Titled Douluo shattered at once.

Before the third hammer could fall, the remaining people had already turned and fled.

Tang Chen did not pursue them.

He slung the Clear Sky Hammer over his shoulder and walked alone through the mountain gate.

The scene changed again.

One sect after another appeared in the sky.

Tang Chen went from door to door with the Clear Sky Hammer, issuing challenges.

Elephant Armor Sect.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Spirit Hall.

At every location, he threw only one hammer strike.

Among Soul Masters of the same rank, no one could withstand it head-on.

Golden words descended.

[Tang Chen defeated powerful figures across the continent one after another after succeeding as the Clear Sky Sect's leader.]

[Under his leadership, the Clear Sky Sect also rapidly grew stronger.]

[One man subdued the sects of the world.]

[One Clear Sky Hammer established the name of the world's number one sect.]

[Tang Chen, the strongest Douluo in Clear Sky Sect history!]

The comments across the sky instantly flooded in.

[Elephant Armor Sect Leader Huyan Zhen: One man led a sect to the position of the world's number one sect. So this was Tang Chen?]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen: The Clear Sky Sect was indeed flourishing back then, and Tang Chen was an insurmountable mountain within it.]

[Star Luo Empire Duke of Netherworld: With his strength alone, he could alter an entire sect's standing.]

[Sword Douluo Chen Xin: Invincible on land was not an empty title.]

[Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder: Do you see? This is the former leader of our Clear Sky Sect!]

[Clear Sky Sect Second Elder: If the former leader had remained in command of the sect, how would Spirit Hall have dared bully the Clear Sky Sect?]

Clear Sky Sect.

Inside the sect's main hall.

Tang Xiao looked up at the black-robed figure on the Heavenly Screen.

Ever since childhood, he had heard his father recount Tang Chen's deeds.

Now that those past events truly appeared before him, he finally understood the weight carried by the name Tang Chen.

Tang Chen had not become famous because of the Clear Sky Sect.

Rather, the Clear Sky Sect had relied on Tang Chen to secure its place as the world's number one sect.

The Seventh Elder straightened his back.

"One man leading a sect to the summit."

"This is the bearing the world's number one tool Martial Soul ought to possess."

The Second Elder nodded.

"Once the former leader returns, the Clear Sky Sect can reemerge."

"We will reclaim everything we lost back then."

Tang Xiao looked toward Spirit City.

"Let's keep watching."

"What happened before Grandfather vanished was never fully recorded in the sect's archives."

Spirit City.

Before Angel God's Temple.

Qian Daoliu stood at the top of the stairs.

He gazed at Tang Chen in his youth, his eyes lingering for a long while.

Tang Chen had been proud by nature.

Qian Daoliu was the same.

When they first fought, they battled for an entire day.

That battle had not determined life or death.

Yet it had left them with a measure of mutual admiration.

Qian Daoliu sighed softly.

"So many years have passed."

"And you still have not let go of your desire to become a god."

Qian Renxue stood beside him.

"Grandfather, were you and Tang Chen once friends?"

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"One could say that."

"Too many things happened afterward."

"He went to Slaughter City, while I remained in Spirit Hall."

"We have not met for decades."

Outside the Hall of Consecrates.

Lion Douluo's expression turned strange upon hearing this.

"The Grand Consecrator had a close relationship with Tang Chen?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at him.

"They traveled the continent together in their youth."

"But their identities were what they were."

"One was the leader of the Clear Sky Sect, while the other was the Angel Clan's successor."

"No matter how close they were, it could not change the conflict between their two factions."

The consecrators turned their attention back to the Heavenly Screen.

The scene had already shifted from the Clear Sky Sect to outside Spirit City.

The young Qian Daoliu stood atop a cliff.

Six golden wings spread behind him.

Tang Chen sat on a huge rock, a wine flask in hand.

Qian Daoliu descended from the sky.

"I have challenged nearly all the powerful figures on the continent."

"Next, I intend to go out to sea."

Tang Chen took a drink.

"What powerful figures could there be at sea?"

"Sea Soul Beasts?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head.

"There is a Sea God's Island in the ocean."

"The Sea God is worshipped there."

"I heard that Sea God's Island has a Sea Soul Master of exceptional talent."

"Her strength may not be weaker than ours."

Tang Chen immediately set down his wine flask.

"What is her name?"

"Bo Saixi."

Qian Daoliu turned around and looked toward the vast sea.

"If you are interested, come with me."

Tang Chen hoisted the Clear Sky Hammer.

"When do we leave?"

"Now."

The two figures departed from the cliff.

A streak of golden light shot across the sky.

The other figure rode the Clear Sky Hammer and followed close behind.

The comments fell silent for a moment.

The next instant, the sky became lively again.

[Independent Soul Emperor: Qian Daoliu personally invited Tang Chen to Sea God's Island?]

[Elephant Armor Sect Leader Huyan Zhen: Weren't these two rivals?]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen: They traveled together in their youth. It seems the relationship between the three Peerless Douluo was not what we knew.]

[Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: The Grand Consecrator went to Sea God's Island with Tang Chen. That was how the three Peerless Douluo later became equally renowned.]

[Sea Horse Douluo: Lady Bo Saixi fought two against one back then and still won!]

[Clear Sky Sect Seventh Elder: Bo Saixi merely borrowed Sea God's Island's power. In a one-on-one fight, she would never have been a match for the former leader.]

Clear Sky Sect.

Watching the two sail out to sea side by side, the Seventh Elder showed not the slightest hint of joy.

"Qian Daoliu certainly knows how to put on an act."

"Back then, he called the former leader his brother."

"Later, when Spirit Hall forced the Clear Sky Sect to seal its gates, did he spare even a shred of thought for their friendship?"

The Second Elder snorted coldly.

"People from Spirit Hall have always cared only about profit."

"The moment the former leader disappeared, they immediately moved against the Clear Sky Sect."

"Now that the Heavenly Screen has revealed this past, does Spirit Hall intend to use that relationship to curry favor with us?"

Tang Xiao did not stop them.

Too much hatred had long accumulated between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall.

A friendship from their youth could not simply erase all of that.

The Seventh Elder looked at Tang Chen's name.

"Once the former leader receives his reward and breaks free of the Nine-Headed Bat King—"

"Then someone else should take Spirit Hall's position as well."

"So what if Qian Daoliu ranks a little higher?"

"In a real fight, he still would not be able to withstand the former leader's Great Sumeru Hammer."

Sea God's Island.

Inside the Sea God Temple.

Bo Saixi looked up at the two figures crossing the sea.

Her red gown spread across the stairs behind her, while her fair fingers rested lightly atop her scepter.

That year.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had ascended Sea God's Island together.

One possessed the Seraphim Martial Soul.

The other possessed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

Both were in the height of their youthful vigor.

Neither believed anyone of their generation could surpass them.

Yet Bo Saixi had borrowed Sea God's Island's power to defeat them both.

After that battle, the relationship among the three underwent many changes.

She had once made an agreement with Tang Chen.

She had also seen the affection Qian Daoliu hid in his heart.

Yet after all these decades, Tang Chen had never returned.
