Tang Feng slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward. In an instant, a dark light flashed, and a Clear Sky Hammer, entirely dark gold in color, appeared.
The surface of the hammer is faintly visible with fiery red patterns and icy blue frost intertwined, with yin and yang converging in the center of the hammer face to form a miniature ice and fire tai chi diagram.
Four Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath Tang Feng's feet: yellow, yellow, purple, and black. The four Soul Ring pulsed rhythmically from bottom to top.
Especially the fourth ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, which was as deep as ink and flowed with a heart-palpitating light, clearly revealing the Soul Power fluctuations of a high-level Soul Ancestor.
Everyone stared intently at the black Soul Ring, their hearts filled with even greater shock. Their lips parted slightly, but they remained speechless for a long time.
At fifteen years old, he Soul Power of level 48 and Fourth Soul Ring after ten thousand years. What kind of monstrous talent is this? It is unheard of even in the thousands of years of history of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Second Elder rushed forward, grabbed Tang Feng's shoulders tightly, and channeled his Soul Power to examine Tang Feng's body.
Seeing Tang Feng's powerful Soul Power and steady aura, his voice trembled with excitement. " Feng'er, this... this... how did you do that?"
Tang Feng felt six burning gazes and respectfully said, "Reporting to Second Grandfather, this is a long story. Back then, I was being hunted down by the Spirit Hall and escaped into a poisonous thicket in Sunset Forest. I survived by a hair's breadth and even had a fortuitous encounter. Not only did my Soul Power and aptitude improve significantly, but... I was also fortunate enough to meet the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."
Tang Feng's tone carried a perfectly measured hint of lingering fear.
" Dugu Bo? That Old Monster is so unpredictable, how could you befriend him?" Fifth Elder Tang Rui gasped.
"Exactly." Tang Feng nodded, then briefly recounted his experience of helping Dugu Bo detoxify, Dugu Bo's return favor, and finally helping him hunt the Lava Berserk Bear and obtain his Third Soul Ring.
Of course, Tang Feng concealed the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After all, that treasure land belonged to the Old Monster, so it was inconvenient to reveal it. He only said that Dugu Bo was protecting him to repay a debt of gratitude.
The Second Elder nodded repeatedly, remarking, "You're quite lucky, lad, to have won the favor of Poison Douluo."
Tang Feng scratched his head and continued, "After that, I went to the Dugu Manor in Heaven Dou City and unexpectedly discovered the secret of Whale Rubber. Then I went to the Moonlight Pavilion and asked Aunt Yuehua to help me report my safety to the sect. Since I hadn't seen my maternal grandfather for many years, His Majesty Dugu sent me to the Breaking Clan, where I found my maternal grandfather, Yang Wudi. My grandfather was naturally overjoyed to see me and let me stay in the clan to cultivate. More than a year later, I broke through the level 40 bottleneck, and my grandfather personally took me to the Star Dou Great Forest to help me hunt down a 12,000-year-old Scarlet Flame Pterosaur."
"During that Soul Hunting, I not only obtained my Fourth Soul Ring, but also unexpectedly acquired an External Soul Bone called ' Flame Dragon Wings '."
Before he finished speaking, a pair of burning dragon wings suddenly unfurled behind Tang Feng. The crimson-gold flames spread out several meters with a "boom," and the temperature of the entire hall instantly soared.
The dragon wings were incredibly lifelike, each feather formed from flames, with dark golden lava patterns flowing along their edges. With a gentle flap, waves of heat swept through, causing everyone's robes to flutter loudly.
Tang Xiao's pupils constricted sharply, and he stood up abruptly, staring intently at the pair of dragon wings, his voice trembling. "Is this really External Soul Bone? A legendary treasure that can grow with its host and is comparable to Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?!"
Second Elder Tang Zhen was so excited that his beard trembled, and he exclaimed, "Good... good... good! Our Clear Sky Sect has finally welcomed another peerless genius. After twelve years of seclusion, we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!"
He then said to Tang Lie, "Seventh Brother, your grandson is the hope for the sect to return to its peak!"
The elders exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with shock, but also with barely concealed elation and envy!
Tang Feng retracted his dragon wings, the flames instantly vanished, and the temperature inside the hall dropped, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion. He then said, "Since then, this disciple has been training alone in the Star Dou Great Forest for over a year before returning to the sect."
After a long while, the shock between Tang Xiao's brows slowly faded, and a smile rarely seen in many years appeared on his face. He said, "Very good, very good... Training in such a dangerous place as the Star Dou Great Forest shows how many life-and-death battles you have experienced and how much blood and sweat you have shed over the years to achieve such results!"
"Sect Master, I have not suffered hardship. Everything I have done is solely to wash away the shame suffered by the sect, to seek justice for the dead clansmen, and to avenge my parents!"
Tang Feng answered solemnly, his eyes burning with a dark yet intense flame.
Tang Xiao's heart trembled slightly, then he laughed loudly, "Good! I'm pleased that you can use this as motivation. This is not only your hatred, but also the hatred of the entire Clear Sky Sect! Our current forbearance is waiting for the opportunity to wipe away this humiliation!"
" Feng'er, the sect disciples and elders have all made significant progress." The Seventh Elder nodded with satisfaction and began to introduce the sect's strength.
Sect Master Tang Xiao, the sect's greatest pillar, has already broken through Level 96 in Soul Power.
Second Elder Tang Zhen, Level 94
Third Elder Tang Ming, Level 93
Fourth Elder Tang Ran, Level 93
Fifth Elder Tang Rui, Level 92
The Seventh Elder, Tang Lie, had just reached Level 90 and was only one Ninth Soul Ring away from becoming the sixth Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect.
After Tang Lie finished introducing the sect's strength, the Second Elder spoke first, "All of this is thanks to the Whale Rubber you brought back. The Whale Rubber body tempering method not only alleviated our old injuries and hidden ailments, but also increased the strength of our meridians by more than 20%. Originally, I thought I would never make any further progress in this life, but now I see hope of reaching a higher realm."
Tang Xiao continued, "Not only that, your Aunt Yuehua has also secretly purchased a lot of Whale Rubber for the sect these past few years, and most of the disciples have seen significant improvements. Currently, there are six Soul Douluo among the second-generation disciples, two of whom are already at Level 88."
Tang Xiao stared intently at Tang Feng: " Little Feng, all of this is thanks to you!"
Tang Feng remained composed and respectfully replied, "Sect Master, you flatter me. The sect's prosperity today is due to the hard work of the Sect Master and all the elders, and even more so to the diligent cultivation of the clansmen day and night. This disciple has only contributed a small amount of effort and is truly unworthy of such praise."
Tang Feng looked up at the elders and said sincerely, "Moreover, the sect has shown me great kindness in raising me. It is my duty to do something for the sect, and I dare not take credit for it."
The elders laughed heartily, feeling very pleased with Tang Feng's words.
Looking at the harmonious scene inside the hall, Tang Xiao was filled with emotion.
Just as he was about to say a few words of encouragement, Tang Feng suddenly turned his head to look at his grandfather beside him and asked in a relaxed tone, "Grandpa, you've broken through to Level 90, but you haven't hunted for Soul Ring yet, right?"
Tang Lie laughed loudly, "Hahaha, that's right! You've come at the right time. The sect leader and several elders were just discussing and finalizing a plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest in half a month to hunt for your grandpa's Ninth Soul Ring!"
"That's good. Grandfathers, Sect Master, I have another very important matter to report!" Tang Feng said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder eagerly asked, "Oh? What is it that you are so serious about? Tell me quickly!"
"While training in the Star Dou Great Forest, I obtained a priceless treasure. Knowing that my grandfather was about to break through to Level 90, I immediately returned to prepare a great gift for him."
"My dear grandson, what wonderful gift have you prepared for your grandfather?" Grandpa Tang Lie asked in surprise.
Tang Feng took a deep breath, and with a flick of his right hand at his waist, the emerald light of the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse flashed.
A frail figure rolled onto the stone table. The girl was curled up, her breathing steady and long, as if she were just asleep.
It was Xiao Wu, Soul Beast transformed from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
Six streams of spiritual energy at the Titled Douluo level swept over almost simultaneously. The next instant, the pupils of the six people suddenly contracted, as if pricked by invisible needles. They all took a half step back, exclaiming in shock, "This... this... this is... this is Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast!!!"
Tang Xiao's breath caught in his throat. He stared intently at the seemingly harmless girl on the ground, a strange glint in his eyes, as if he were recalling something from the past, but he quickly regained his composure.
The other elders were pale with excitement, their lips trembling as they were unable to speak.
Tang Lie was closest to her, and even though Xiao Wu was unconscious, he could clearly feel the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast within her.
The immense, boundless Soul Power it contained still made this Level 90 Quasi-Titled Douluo feel a chill run down his spine.
Tang Lie suddenly looked up at Tang Feng, his voice trembling, " Feng'er, you... what is this...?"
