The Second Elder's eyes reddened slightly as he patted Tang Lie's shoulder forcefully. "Good! What a Blazing Sun Douluo! If my sixth brother could see your achievements now, he would be immensely gratified!"
The Third Elder nodded, then turned to Tang Lie and asked, "Seventh Brother, what is your Ninth Soul Skill? Does Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring have two skills?"
" Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, with two bonus Soul Skill. The first skill is called ' Explosive Killing Eight Hammers.' It delivers eight rapid, consecutive hammer blows to the target, each inflicting a 0.5-second stun effect. Each hammer blow is twice as fast as the previous one, and the final blow is the combined power of the previous seven, increasing its attack power eightfold."
Tang Lie paused, then continued, "The second skill is called ' Nothingness.' For five seconds, it grants immunity to all physical and energy attacks."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Three full breaths later, the Second Elder gasped in astonishment. "An extreme attack, an absolute defense for survival... This, this is simply a divine skill! Seventh Brother, you've not just advanced to the Titled Douluo, you've directly stepped into the threshold of Super Douluo!"
The other elders echoed this sentiment, their eyes filled with envy and awe.
Tang Lie withdrew his Soul Ring and came to Tang Feng. Looking at his grandson, whom he hadn't seen for five years and who had grown taller than him, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.
In the end, Tang Lie simply opened his arms and hugged Tang Feng tightly, with such force that it seemed he wanted to meld Tang Feng into his very bones.
Tang Feng felt the old man's chest trembling, and his nose tingled, but he forced himself not to let the tears fall.
"I really envy you, Seventh Brother, having such a good grandson!" Second Elder Tang Zhen patted Tang Lie's shoulder sourly, but his eyes were fixed on Tang Feng. "If my sons were even half as good as Feng'er, I'd be laughing in my sleep!"
"That's right!" Third Elder Tang Ming echoed, stroking his beard and sighing, his eyes practically overflowing with envy.
Tang Feng, seeing the elders' teasing expressions, smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Sect Leader, and all you grandfathers, actually... I also brought you gifts."
Tang Xiao was taken aback, his thick eyebrows rising. "Huh? We're involved too?"
"Of course." Tang Feng replied with a smile, his palm lightly brushing against the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, a shimmering light flashing across it.
Three fist-sized, pale blue fruits appeared out of thin air, their surfaces crackling with lightning, like countless tiny silver snakes Entanglement.
A violent and pure surge of lightning energy instantly filled the hall, even the air itself felt tingly from ionization.
Tang Feng first approached the sect leader and the second and third elders, offering them the three fruits in a clear voice:
"Sect Master, Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, this is the ' Thunder Spirit Fruit '."
After a high-level lightning-type Soul Beast falls, its soul merges with the lightning energy of heaven and earth and is absorbed by the Thunder Spirit Vine.
When the Thunder Spirit Vine is exposed to the power of thunder, it will grow into the Thunder Spirit Fruit.
Each Thunder Spirit Vine produces only three Thunder Spirit Fruit in its lifetime, and each Thunder Spirit Fruit takes at least three thousand years to mature.
The fruit's inner thunder spirit merges with thunder energy, perfectly complementing your thunder attribute. It enhances your spiritual power, thereby increasing your understanding of the thunder attribute and strengthening your attack power. It also has the effects of strengthening the foundation, healing injuries, and increasing Soul Power even when uninjured.
Absorbing this fruit will surely solidify your foundation and greatly enhance your spiritual and Soul Power.
The three of them took the Thunder Spirit Fruit, and the moment their fingertips touched it, tiny arcs of electricity coursed through their meridians, instantly invigorating them.
Tang Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he exclaimed, "Just holding it in my hand, I feel my Soul Power become three times more active! Such a wondrous object truly exists in this world!"
Tang Feng continued explaining the method of consumption, "First, absorb the fruit marrow, then swallow the fruit pulp, and then refine it with your Soul Power."
Next, Tang Feng approached the Fourth Elder. He took out a plant that looked and was the same size as the Ganoderma lucidum. The Ganoderma lucidum was thick and heavy like a rock, yellowish-brown in color, with natural mountain and geographical patterns on its surface, and it felt warm to the touch.
"Fourth Grandfather, this is the ' Earth Essence Lingzhi '." Tang Feng presented it with both hands and explained, "It is deeply rooted in the earth's veins and has absorbed the essence of the earth for thousands of years."
The medicinal power is rich and long-lasting, which can greatly increase the total amount of Soul Power of Soul Master. Moreover, because it originates from the earth's veins, the increased Soul Power is extremely pure and substantial, without any sense of superficiality.
Fourth Grandfather possesses a strong earth element, which is perfect for him to advance to the next level. He can simply swallow it whole and then slowly refine it with his Soul Power.
The Fourth Elder was so excited that his beard trembled. He held the Ganoderma lucidum in both hands as if it were a mountain, his eyes reddening. "Good child... I'm so lucky to have you today, my old life is going to be strong again!"
Finally, Tang Feng walked up to the Fifth Elder. The Fifth Elder was already impatient, staring at Tang Feng with eager eyes, just like a child waiting for candy.
Tang Feng suppressed a smile and took out a strange herb shaped like a mushroom: the cap was round and covered with concentric rings of gold, green, blue, red, and brown, making it extremely beautiful.
"Fifth Grandfather, this is called the ' Five Elements Spirit-Nurturing Mushroom '." Tang Feng handed over the Immortal Herb and continued, "It grows in a blessed land where the five elements are balanced, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth day and night. The spiritual energy of the five elements forms a self-circulating cycle, and the five concentric rings on it correspond to the power of the five elements respectively."
Its medicinal properties are moderate and mild, and it can nourish the five internal organs, broaden the meridians, enhance the affinity between Soul Power and the body, and make the circulation of Soul Power smoother and more free.
"Perfectly suited to the domineering Soul Power of Fifth Grandfather's Clear Sky Hammer, helping you break through to a higher realm."
The Fifth Elder, holding the colorful mushrooms, grinned from ear to ear. "Excellent! Excellent! With this treasure, Grandpa will definitely not let you down!"
After distributing the flowers, Tang Feng returned to his grandfather, Tang Lie. He took out a large chrysanthemum with golden petals, Sisi petal distinct and fluffy, making it exceptionally cute. The fragrance wasn't strong, but it was refreshing and invigorating, as if it could cleanse the body of impurities.
"Grandpa, this is the ' Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum,' the Martial Soul of Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall is this kind of chrysanthemum."
Tang Feng spoke softly, "This herb has a neutral and mild effect. When consumed, it can circulate qi in the limbs and blood through the eight meridians. It is most effective in tempering qi and blood and strengthening the body."
Grandpa's first, third, and fourth Soul Skill all require burning his life force to explode. With this, his blood and qi are abundant, allowing him to forge Vajra Indestructibility body, so he can be fearless of damage and unleash even greater burst damage.
When consuming it, first eat the flower petals, then the stamens, and finally refine it with your Soul Power.
Tang Lie accepted the chrysanthemum with both hands, tears streaming down his face. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word, only nodding repeatedly.
The hall fell silent. The six Titled Douluo held their respective Immortal Herb, each with a different shape, yet all exuding a life force that was breathtaking.
They were like clusters of dancing flames, illuminating the darkness of the Clear Sky Sect's twelve years of silence, and rekindling the long-lost passion and hope in the hearts of these elders.
The Second Elder Tang Zhen, trembling, held the Thunder Spirit Fruit, tears streaming down his face. " Feng'er... I'm afraid I can never repay the debt of gratitude I owe you in this lifetime!"
"Yes, yes!" the Third Elder choked up, "We old bones thought we could only slowly decay, but we never expected to see a glimmer of hope for further progress!"
Tang Feng quickly reassured them gently, "Grandpas, we're all family, there's no need for this. I'm doing this so that the sect can regain its prestige as soon as possible."
Then, turning to Tang Xiao, he continued, "Sect Master, I have a few lesser-grade immortal Immortal Herb here that can enhance cultivation. Although they are not as precious as the elders', they can still help my uncles at the Soul Douluo level advance further. Should I... invite a few of my uncles over?"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes. He exchanged a glance with the Second Elder Tang Zhen, both of them looking on with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Apart from Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, none of the second-generation disciples of the sect have broken through to the Titled Douluo, which has always been a source of worry for them.
If the power of the Immortal Herb could be used to cultivate several Titled Douluo, the foundation of the Clear Sky Sect would instantly become several times stronger!
Without saying a word, the Second Elder flashed out of the secret chamber.
In a short while, five figures swept into the secret chamber like a whirlwind. The two leading figures had a deep and imposing aura, and they were Tang Ming and Tang Kun, the two second-generation disciples with the highest cultivation levels.
Although the two were over sixty years old and had some gray hair, they looked like they were in their prime.
One is as steady as iron, the other as fiery as fire; both are currently stuck at Level 88, just one step away from becoming Titled Douluo, yet it feels like an insurmountable chasm. Without a stroke of luck, they fear...
The man in the middle had a face as red as fire; he was Tang Yu, Level 85.
The last two were Tang Hui and Tang Zhi, both in their fifties, considered "young" in the Soul Douluo. They had only recently broken through to level eighty-one, their auras were still somewhat unsteady, and their faces showed both excitement and trepidation.
