"The second thing," Tang Xiao's voice suddenly rose, "Is that Tang Feng, the third-generation disciple, who is only fifteen years old but has already broken through to the Soul King level. He is exceptionally talented, calm, and resilient, and has made great contributions to the sect."
By unanimous deliberation of the sect master and all elders, Tang Feng is hereby appointed as the young sect master of our Clear Sky Sect! Once he breaks through Level 90 and officially becomes Titled Douluo, he will assume the position of sect master and lead the Clear Sky Sect!
As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur of discussion arose.
All eyes turned to the fifteen-year-old boy.
Under the watchful eyes of his clansmen, Tang Feng walked step by step up to the high platform, knelt on one knee, and accepted the young sect leader's token handed to him by the sect leader. It was a small, dark gold hammer about the size of a palm, with the words " Clear Sky " engraved on its surface.
Tang Feng stood up straight, turned to face the entire clan, raised the token high, and shouted in a deep, resonant voice:
"I, Tang Feng, hereby swear that I will restore the name of the Clear Sky Sect to the pinnacle of the continent! The blood debt of the Spirit Hall will be repaid a hundredfold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall.
Suotuo City, Shrek Academy, night is deep.
The office lights were still on, and Yu Xiaogang was hunched over his desk with several student files spread out in front of him.
Since Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar participated in Zhao Wuji's gravity training, their progress has been exceptionally obvious, and the gap between them and their previous "running with stones on their backs" routine is obvious.
The harsh reality lashed at his pride as the self-proclaimed "number one theorist in the Soul Master World."
"Sigh..." Yu Xiaogang pinched the bridge of his nose, looking out the window. The swaying shadows of the trees resembled Zhao Wuji's big, simple-minded face, as if mocking his "armchair strategist" approach.
Just then, the lights inside the room flickered slightly, and a tall, dark figure appeared. There was no fluctuation of Soul Power, yet the air in the entire room instantly became heavy.
"Your Majesty... Your His Excellency Haotian!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in surprise, jumping up from his chair.
Tang Hao, Tang Hao in a tattered black robe and with disheveled hair and beard, couldn't conceal his domineering aura. He casually waved his hand, " Grandmaster, no need for formalities. I've only come to inquire about Little San's recent situation."
"Yes... yes!" Yu Xiaogang quickly bowed, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up; this was his chance to "shine."
" Little San broke through level 30, obtained his Third Soul Ring, and officially became a Soul Elder. Moreover... he was also fortunate enough to obtain External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances!"
" External Soul Bone?" Tang Hao raised an eyebrow. External Soul Bone was a treasure of Soul Master; he had never seen one in his decades of adventures. A rare look of joy appeared in his eyes as he exclaimed, "My son is indeed a genius!"
Yu Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang a surge of pride, as if he had helped obtain the Soul Bone. He coughed lightly, then feigned concern. "But..."
"Just what?"
Two months ago, Zhao Wuji led a team to Soul Hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest. Unfortunately, they encountered the Titan Giant Ape and failed to protect the students. Xiao Wu, the girl who was like a brother to Little San, was... kidnapped by the Titan Giant Ape and has not been heard from since. Little San was greatly affected by this and has been absent-minded all day long.
Yu Xiaogang spoke faster and faster, glancing at Tang Hao's expression out of the corner of his eye, trying to add fuel to the fire, "As his mentor, I naturally questioned Zhao Wuji, but who knew he wouldn't repent and would even argue with me..."
"Enough." Tang Hao raised his hand, interrupting Yu Xiaogang's incessant chatter.
A dark glint flashed in Tang Hao's eyes, but he sneered inwardly: Others may not know, but I do know Xiao Wu's true identity. Titan Giant Ape? Kidnapping? Heh, that rabbit probably staged it all himself to escape!
Thinking of this, Tang Hao felt a surge of regret: He hadn't expected this rabbit to be so cunning, deliberately feigning brotherly affection with Tang San, just to wait for an opportunity. If he had known this, he should have imprisoned her immediately; that was Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!
Tang Hao glanced at Yu Xiaogang, too lazy to say anything more, and with a flicker of his figure, he disappeared from the room like Gui Mei.
A night wind swept by, causing the office lights to flicker violently. Yu Xiaogang was thrown back by the gust of wind, grabbing the corner of the table for support, his face pale and uncertain. Just a moment ago, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have sensed the killing intent emanating from Tang Hao.
On the roof of Tang San's dormitory, Tang Hao hid in the shadows of the roof ridge, his spiritual power quietly seeping in.
The room was brightly lit, and the chopping board was covered with mechanical parts. Tang San was adjusting a crossbow with a tight-fitting back.
Beside her, Meng Yiran half-squatted down and handed him a fine file. Occasionally, she would raise her hand to wipe the sweat from Tang San's forehead, her fingertips lightly touching his. The two would look at each other and smile, the atmosphere tender and ambiguous. Their intimate behavior made them look like a couple.
"Uh...!" Tang Hao was stunned and bewildered at the sight, but then his tense brows slowly relaxed. His son was able to talk and laugh with others, which meant that his inner knot had been untied, and the departure of Xiao Wu's rabbit had not truly shaken his mind.
Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. With a flash of black shadow, Tang Hao had already blended into the night and disappeared from Shrek, continuing to "keep company with the grass." He just thought to himself, "Next time I encounter that rabbit, I'll definitely catch her first. What a pity."
Five days later, in the Quiet Contemplation Hall of the Clear Sky Sect, the atmosphere was unusually relaxed and lively, and even the sandalwood incense floating in the air seemed to have taken on a sweeter scent.
Recently, the sect has been celebrating a series of good news. Two new Titled Douluo elders have been appointed, and the foundations of three second-generation Soul Douluo have been solidified. The younger generation is also full of outstanding talents.
The disciples walked back and forth with smiles they couldn't hide, as if even the mountain breeze had become lighter.
Inside the hall, Sect Master Tang Xiao sat upright in the central seat. His black outfit and cloak made his figure appear even more majestic and imposing, and his every move exuded the power of thunder.
The stone chair to Tang Xiao's right was the exclusive seat for the sect leader's successor. Tang Feng sat upright in it, his face calm and serene, his back ramrod straight.
The seven elders stood on both sides, with the newly promoted Tang Ming and Tang Kun sitting in the fifth and sixth positions on the left. Although their Soul Power was restrained, the Daoist aura of those who had just entered the title realm was like an undercurrent surging.
At the very end are the other three Soul Douluo Uncles: Tang Yu, Tang Hui, and Tang Zhi.
After absorbing the immortal Immortal Herb, the three of them increased their Soul Power by two levels, to Level 87 and two Level 83 respectively, and their foundation became very solid.
With all three of them under sixty years old, and with the enhancement from Whale Rubber and Immortal Herb, breaking through to the title level was only a matter of time. Their eyes were filled with deep gratitude as they looked at Tang Feng.
This was Tang Feng's first time participating in a major sect discussion as the young sect leader. Tang Feng appeared calm, smiling as he gestured to the elders, but his heart was surging with excitement.
Everyone was buzzing with discussion, waiting for the meeting to begin.
Seeing that all the elders had arrived, Tang Xiao said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business. Today we'll mainly discuss the matter of hunting down Soul Ring for our newly promoted clansmen."
Tang Xiao's gaze swept over everyone present, and he continued:
"Since the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall discovered the Soul Hunting Operation five years ago, they haven't taken action against us because we haven't left any evidence."
However, they have intensified their surveillance on us. If our whereabouts are exposed, the Spirit Hall will definitely gather experts to surround and kill us. With our current strength, we are naturally not afraid of the Spirit Hall, but we also have several young disciples on this trip. The Spirit Hall has a large number of people, and I am worried that they will launch a surprise attack while we are absorbing Soul Ring. If we do not have enough manpower, we may not be able to protect them in time, and too many people will make us too conspicuous. Furthermore, our sect is currently in a period of rapid growth, and it is not advisable to start a war with the Spirit Hall immediately.
Do any of you elders have any suggestions?
After that, everyone started exchanging words. Tang Feng, as the youngest junior here, and with everyone else being seasoned veterans who were very familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, rarely Tang Feng.
Fifteen minutes later, the plan was finalized, Tang Xiao gave the decisive final order:
"Alright, then the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder will go to the Star Dou Great Forest first to search for suitable traces of Soul Beast and mark them on the map."
Both elders are Titled Douluo, and can retreat unscathed even when facing powerful enemies.
Two months later, regardless of whether the two found a suitable Soul Beast, the large group set off on time, and we would meet on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
At that time, the first wave will be led by me and the Fifth Elder, who will swiftly and decisively eliminate the chaos and hunt down the Ninth Soul Ring for the two newly promoted elders.
The second wave was led by the Seventh Elder, accompanied by two Soul Douluo, to hunt for Soul Ring for Little Feng and the other younger generation. Their target age was lower, so their speed would only be faster.
The entire process should ideally take no more than a month; prolonged delays will increase the risk of exposure. Therefore, it is imperative to act swiftly, accurately, and decisively, leaving the Spirit Hall no time to react!
The other three elders guarded the ancestral land.
Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
