After arriving at Tang Chen's residence, Tang Xing knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Who is it?"
"Chen, it's your second uncle."
Hearing Tang Xing at the door, Tang Chen hurried out of bed to let him in.
"Second Uncle, what brings you here so late?"
Tang Xing teased, "What? Am I not welcome?"
Tang Chen waved his hands at once. "How could you not be? Come in, come in!"
He quickly ushered Tang Xing inside.
Once Tang Xing had sat down, he got straight to the point. "All right. I came to bring you an opportunity. Consider it a belated sixth-birthday gift from your second uncle."
With that, Tang Xing took an External Soul Bone from his storage space.
Tang Chen stared at it in surprise. "Is that... a Soul Bone? An External Soul Bone?"
Tang Xing looked at him with some surprise. "Chen, you know your stuff."
"That's right. It's an External Soul Bone, dropped by the Three-Headed Golden Lion King that gave me my ninth Soul Ring."
Tang Xing pushed the External Soul Bone toward Tang Chen.
"Take it," he said.
Tang Chen shot to his feet and waved his hands repeatedly. "No, I can't accept it. It's too precious."
"Take it. I discussed it with your father, and he agreed," Tang Xing said.
Tang Chen could hardly believe it. "This... All right. Thank you, Second Uncle."
As he accepted the Soul Bone, Tang Chen silently vowed, One day, I'll repay this kindness.
Seeing that Tang Chen had accepted it, Tang Xing stood. "All right, you have the Soul Bone. Your second uncle will be going now."
Tang Chen rose as well. "Second Uncle, I'll see you out."
Tang Xing merely waved a hand and left.
After Tang Xing was gone, Tang Chen went back inside.
The first thing Tang Chen did was examine the Soul Bone.
Holding it, he sat cross-legged on the bed and prepared to absorb it.
The expected torrent of Soul Power surged through him. His meridians ruptured inch by inch under the violent energy, then repaired themselves under the influence of his Body Martial Soul.
Enduring the agony of his splitting meridians, he calmly circulated his cultivation technique and guided the Soul Power into place.
At six in the morning, the Soul Bone finally fused with him completely.
His Soul Power broke straight through to level sixteen, and his mental power surged tremendously.
He also awakened two special Soul Skills.
Active skill of the ninety-five-thousand-year-old Three-Headed Golden Lion King: Golden Battle Roar.
Activating this Soul Skill consumed a large amount of Soul Power to unleash a roar with a special stunning effect. The lower the opponent's Soul Power Level was than his own, the stronger the stun; the higher it was, the weaker the stun. It lasted at least one second.
Passive skill: Three Heads.
He could summon three heads at once and place part of his consciousness in each, allowing him to do four things at the same time while tripling his mental power.
After absorbing the Soul Bone, Tang Chen was too excited to go back to sleep.
He immediately activated it and summoned three heads.
In an instant, a head grew from each of Tang Chen's shoulders and another from the back of his head.
"Whoa!" all four exclaimed.
The heads looked one another over before Tang Chen's main consciousness finally withdrew the other three.
"Pretty interesting. I just need to learn how to control them."
Fresh from absorbing the Soul Bone, with Soul Power filling his body and his mental power soaring, Tang Chen practiced the Meditation Method to consolidate his cultivation.
He did not slowly wake until ten that morning.
Realizing the time, Tang Chen rushed to the Training Ground.
When he arrived, the other six team members were already there, with three teachers standing before them.
"Second Uncle?" Tang Chen stared at the teacher in the middle in surprise.
Before Tang Chen could finish asking why he was there, Tang Xing answered for him.
"Why am I here as your teacher? Because your father asked me to."
Tang Xing continued, "Of course, there isn't much I can teach you, but your father also found you two other teachers."
He ushered the other two teachers forward.
The one on the left adjusted his glasses and introduced himself. "I'm Zhou Yuan. The sect master invited me to be your Theory Teacher. I'll be teaching you theory from now on."
The teacher on the right introduced himself as well. "I'm Yang Dongsheng of the Breaking Clan, a level seventy-two Battle Soul Saint. I'll handle your Combat Training and prepare Medicinal Baths for you to prevent any lingering injuries."
Finally, Tang Xing stepped forward and introduced himself. "I'm Tang Xing, First Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, a level ninety-one Titled Douluo with the title Golden. I may not have much knowledge to teach you, and I won't be handling your Combat Training, but with me here, your safety is assured."
Seeing how clearly the three had divided their duties, all seven members of the Clear Sky Team nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Ning Zi thought, The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network needs a thorough investigation. I've never heard that the Clear Sky Sect has a second Titled Douluo. They're crafty, all right.
In truth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence network was not to blame. Tang Xing had not yet become a Titled Douluo on the day she arrived at the Clear Sky Sect.
With all seven gathered at the Training Ground, their first training session began.
Zhou Yuan took out a Record Sheet and said to Tang Chen, "Young Sect Master, you're the captain of this team. I need to record your information first."
He asked, "Young Sect Master, what is your Soul Power Level? How strong are you? What types of Soul Skills do you have?"
Zhou Yuan asked each of the seven the same questions in turn.
For those who did not know their own strength, Tang Xing was there to test them.
The final results were as follows.
Captain: Tang Chen. Level sixteen, Power Attack System. Strength: 1,500 jin (raw physical strength without activating his Martial Soul). Soul Skill type: enhancement.
Vice-captain: Tang Xiao. Level twenty-three, Power Attack System. Strength: 700 jin. Soul Skill types: enhancement, attack.
Team member: Ning Zi. Level eleven, Support System. Strength: 80 jin. Soul Skill type: enhancement.
Team member: Yang Wu. Level eight, Power Attack System. Strength: 100 jin.
Team member: Tai Kang. Level thirteen, Power Attack System. Strength: 180 jin. Soul Skill type: attack.
Team member: Bai Kai. Level fifteen, Agility Attack System. Strength: 100 jin. Soul Skill type: support.
Team member: Cowboy. Level seven, Defense System. Strength: 110 jin.
After collecting everyone's detailed information, Zhou Yuan told them, "Train with Yang Dongsheng today. Tomorrow, I'll use your information to devise a suitable daily training routine for each of you."
With that, Zhou Yuan hurried off.
Yang Dongsheng stepped forward, clapped his hands, and said, "Everyone, look at me."
Once he had their attention, he said, "My Combat Training has only one rule: fight."
