Tang San Wants to Add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer

Seven or eight hours later...

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, and a purple Soul Ring rose beneath his feet.

After adjusting his condition and reining in his soul power, he finally stood up.

Second soul skill—Thunder-Piercing Charge.

He charged forward at high speed wrapped in lightning, unleashing a thunderous impact. Lightning power gathered at the spear tip, greatly enhancing its piercing and armor-breaking capabilities.

Overall, it was fairly good.

It enhanced the Sky-Propelling Spear's piercing power and attack power.

Dugu Bo said with a sigh, "I never would have imagined that you truly absorbed a four-thousand-year Soul Ring!"

In the past, if someone had told him that a level-twenty soul master could absorb a four-thousand-year Soul Ring, he might have slapped them outright and cursed them for talking nonsense.

Yet this unreasonable thing was right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

He had been considered a genius in his youth, but compared to his master before him, they were simply not on the same level.

Lu Yuan said, "All right, enough sighing. Let's leave this place."

"Understood."

Suppressing the countless emotions in his heart, Dugu Bo answered.

The three of them followed the path they had come by and began their return journey.

Along the way, Lu Yuan looked at Dugu Bo. "Do you know Liu Erlong?"

"Liu Erlong?"

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment before saying, "The Killing Horn, Liu Erlong, from the Golden Iron Triangle?"

"Yes, her." Lu Yuan nodded.

Dugu Bo said, "Since we are both in Heaven Dou City, I have met her a few times. But we have had little interaction, so I do not know her well."

He paused and looked at Lu Yuan in confusion. "May I ask why you are looking for Liu Erlong, my lord?"

Lu Yuan smiled softly. "Me? I merely want to send her away so she can see her beloved Xiaogang."

"Xiaogang..." Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly. He asked curiously, "Are you referring to the Wisdom Horn, Yu Xiaogang?"

Lu Yuan merely smiled without answering.

Dugu Bo did not quite understand what he meant and pressed on, "My lord, what do you mean by sending Liu Erlong away?"

Lu Yuan replied with a smile, "Good question. Sending her away means exactly what it sounds like."

"Send her away from Blue Tyrant Academy to find her Xiaogang, and make sure she does not come back."

Would she agree to that?

Dugu Bo raised a brow, but then he considered the strength on their side.

Even if she was unwilling, the choice would not be hers. Thus, he said nothing further.

It was just past noon. The blazing sun hung overhead as three figures entered Soto City through its western gate.

The three looked travel-worn and exhausted, like refugees fleeing disaster.

Among them—

One was a sexy buzz-cut man with a full beard.

One was a plainly dressed young boy.

The last was a burly beggar hopping on one leg.

It was an exceedingly strange combination.

The three were Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang, who had escaped from Notting City.

When they had fled Notting City, it had been far too rushed, and Tang Hao's injuries had been extremely severe.

Along the way, Tang San had used the medicinal knowledge he learned from the Mysterious Heaven Treasured Record to stabilize Tang Hao's injuries.

Unfortunately, after losing two Soul Bones, Tang Hao's soul power had dropped by twenty levels, reducing him to a Soul Saint.

After dragging things out for a week, the two of them finally followed Yu Xiaogang to Soto City.

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, Shrek Academy lies south of Soto City. It was founded by my old friend Flender. We are almost there."

Yu Xiaogang raised a hand and pointed south, speaking excitedly.

"Oh." Tang Hao answered indifferently, clearly in low spirits.

After all, losing an arm and a leg in a single day would make it hard for anyone to stay in a good mood.

Tang San said solemnly, "Dad, we are about to reach our destination. It is time you told me who exactly did this to you."

"Do not try to brush me off with that excuse about your arm and leg being bitten by snakes and amputated to stop the poison from spreading. I am not a child anymore!"

Tang Hao shook his head and sighed. "Xiao San, before you possess enough strength, I did not want you to know too much. Knowing too much would only crush you."

"Dad, do you not believe in me?" Tang San looked up at Tang Hao angrily.

Tang Hao fell silent. Looking into Tang San's eyes, he saw that stubbornness, and it was as though he had seen his younger self.

If he did not tell the child today, perhaps Tang San would do something even more impulsive...

Tang Hao sighed. "It was Lu Yuan."

"Lu Yuan?!"

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were both stunned.

"Dad, Lu Yuan reduced you to this state. He has brought death upon himself!"

Tang San's eyes turned red, and he panted like a bull.

If Lu Yuan were standing before him now, he would avenge his father even at the cost of his life!

"Xiao San, calm down."

Tang Hao sighed and patted his head with one hand.

Yu Xiaogang frowned.

He knew that Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo. Six years ago, Tang Hao had slain the Pope of Spirit Hall in battle, his might shaking the world.

He had never expected a student from a tiny place like Notting City to leave him in such a state.

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, with your strength, how could you have suffered at Lu Yuan's hands?"

Tang Hao explained, "Lu Yuan is no ordinary person."

"A female Titled Douluo stands by his side. She possesses an ethereal beauty and terrifying combat power. By my judgment, she should be a level-ninety-eight Super Douluo!"

"Level ninety-eight?! How is that possible?!"

Yu Xiaogang said in disbelief, "Your Excellency Clear Sky, there are only a handful of Super Douluo on this continent. How could such a powerful expert suddenly appear?"

Even his father did not possess such cultivation. What gave Lu Yuan, a mere child, the right?

Tang Hao pondered for a moment. "She may not have appeared suddenly."

"I heard that deep within Spirit Hall, there is an Enshrinement Hall filled with powerful experts."

"Qian Daoliu, who was as famous as my grandfather back then, is the Grand Enshrined of the Enshrinement Hall. He pursued me six years ago, though I was fortunate enough to escape."

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "You mean that the female Titled Douluo of unknown origin came from the Enshrinement Hall?"

Tang Hao shook his head. "That cannot be confirmed. I have never heard of a female Super Douluo in the Enshrinement Hall."

"However." He paused, his voice turning cold. "She is very likely from the Enshrinement Hall."

"Otherwise, she would not have appeared in Notting City for no reason. She was most likely there for me!"

Because of his past persecution by Spirit Hall, whenever Tang Hao encountered unforeseen trouble, he instinctively associated it with Spirit Hall!

So what if that female Super Douluo possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?

There were countless strange martial souls in this world.

Perhaps the Clear Sky Hammer in that woman's hands was merely a disguise!

Tang Hao did not believe that anyone from the Clear Sky Sect would come out to kill him.

More importantly, in all his years, he had never seen that woman in the Clear Sky Sect!

"Dad, what are you talking about? And why does Teacher call you Your Excellency Clear Sky?"

Tang San frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked toward Tang Hao. Only after receiving Tang Hao's silent approval did he confess to Tang San, "Xiao San, 'Your Excellency' is an exclusive honorific for Titled Douluo."

"Could it be?" Tang San's pupils contracted.

Yu Xiaogang said, "That is right. Your father is a Titled Douluo, bearing the title Clear Sky."

"Your second martial soul is called the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool martial soul in the world!"

"So... that is how it is?"

Tang San's eyes went blank as he struggled to process this enormous revelation.

Tang Hao patted his son on the shoulder and said calmly, "All right, let us not discuss this any further. We should hurry to Shrek Academy."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tang San asked, "Teacher, since my hammer is the number one tool martial soul in the world..."

"If I use this hammer, would I be able to defeat Lu Yuan?"

"Of course!" Yu Xiaogang looked supremely confident as he launched into an explanation.

"That spear may be of decent quality, but it absolutely cannot compare to your Clear Sky Hammer!"

"Your teacher is right!"

Tang Hao nodded slightly and cautioned, "But you must never add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. Doing so will damage your potential, understand?"

"Can I really not add Soul Rings to it?!"

Tang San recalled the weakness of Blue Silver Grass, his brows furrowing. "But Blue Silver Grass has not helped me at all."

"That bamboo pole transformed from Blue Silver Grass was even shattered by a single thrust of that spear."

Slap—

A crisp slap rang out as Tang Hao viciously struck Tang San across the face, knocking his face crooked and sending several teeth flying!

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted heavily. His palm remained raised in the position of the slap.

"Xiao San, if I say you cannot add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, then you cannot!"

"Could your teacher and I possibly be trying to harm you?!"
