Tang Feng was shocked and quickly declined, "Second Uncle, how can this be? You've just reached the title level and need Soul Bone to further enhance your strength, besides, this was the one you hunted..."
Before Tang Feng could finish speaking, Tang Ming interrupted Tang Feng, saying, "Hey! Little Feng, listen to me. My current achievements are all thanks to the sect."
You brought the Whale Rubber Body Tempering Method to the sect and a tremendous opportunity to us, greatly increasing the sect's strength, yet we have nothing to give back to you.
"I would give my life to the sect, so why would I care about a Soul Bone?"
Tang Ming paused, his gaze fixed intently on Tang Feng: "You are the future of the Clear Sky Sect. Every bit of strength you gain increases the sect's hope."
This Soul Bone is more valuable to you than to this old man! If you refuse again, you're disrespecting this old man!
"Accept it, Feng'er," Tang Xiao said, his voice authoritative yet leaving no room for doubt. "The elder's gesture is also the sect's decision. With this Soul Bone, you will be even more powerful, and it is what you deserve."
Everyone also offered their advice:
"Young Sect Master, please accept it!"
"Yes, the stronger you are, the stronger our Clear Sky Sect will be!"
Tang Feng's eyes welled up, and a warm current struck his heart. Taking a deep breath, Tang Feng stopped being coy and solemnly accepted the Soul Bone with both hands, his voice hoarse but firm:
"Uncle Ming, elders, Feng'er... will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Tang Feng slowly stood up, took the 85,000-year-old Diamond Tiger Right Leg Bone with both hands, and put the Soul Bone into his storage ring.
However, just when everyone thought the matter was over, Tang Feng did something that surprised everyone.
Tang Feng reached into the ring again, and with a flash of light, another crimson Soul Bone, as red as a branding iron and radiating the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, appeared in his palm!
"Sect Master," Tang Feng said, holding the Soul Bone in both hands, his expression solemn, his voice clear as a bell, "This is the Right Leg Bone I obtained when I hunted the Heaven-Burning Demonic Ape, its age is 35,000 years. Since I have accepted the Diamond Tiger Right Leg Bone, this Right Leg Bone will be handed over to the sect for disposal."
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire room was stunned, exchanging bewildered glances, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Tang Xiao stared intently at the crimson Soul Bone, his breath catching in his throat for a moment. Tang Xiao suddenly stood up and exclaimed in shock, "Two pieces... there are actually two Soul Bone?! Truly, the heavens are blessing our Clear Sky Sect!"
Tang Xiao's white beard trembled, and tears streamed down his face with excitement. "Two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone in one Soul Hunting! This is a sign from our ancestors, a blessing from Heaven!"
The way everyone looked at Tang Feng was as if he were a monster; this incredible luck was simply incomprehensible! They secretly sighed and decided that they would take Tang Feng with them when Soul Hunting in the future.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil surging within him.
Tang Xiao looked at Tang Feng with a complex expression, a mixture of relief and pride. He took the Soul Bone, carefully put it away, and said, "We'll decide who owns this Soul Bone after we return to the sect."
The crowd responded with a resounding roar, their morale soaring. Without further delay, they immediately set off back to their sect.
The team's lineup was terrifying: Sect Master Tang Xiao, Super Douluo; Fifth Elder Tang Rui and Seventh Elder Tang Lie; and newly promoted Elders Tang Ming and Tang Kun, a total of five Titled Douluo. In addition, there were two Soul Douluo, Tang Hui and Tang Zhi, as well as Soul Emperor Tang Long, Soul King Tang Feng, three Soul Ancestor disciples, and Tang Jian. Three generations of elites, old, middle-aged, and young, were all incredibly sharp.
There were thirteen people in total, including five Titled Douluo plus Tang Feng. Six of them could fly, so basically each person carried one of them, and they flew directly to the Clear Sky Sect.
With such a lineup, what is there to fear!
Two days later, the group returned to the Clear Sky Sect, and the news spread throughout the entire sect in an instant, causing the once tranquil sect to erupt in excitement!
That night, inside the stone house, Tang Feng sat cross-legged on the stone bed, with his grandfather standing guard beside him.
Tang Feng took out the Diamond Tiger Right Leg Bone from his storage ring. The Soul Bone gleamed with a dark golden luster under the light, and the tiger stripes flowed as if they were alive, faintly emitting a deep tiger roar.
"Eighty-five thousand years... Although it didn't reach my ideal of one hundred thousand years, this is a Soul Bone whose quality and attributes are a perfect match, so there's no need to pursue perfection in everything!"
Tang Feng took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and pressed the Soul Bone against his right leg.
boom!
In an instant, a raging, tsunami-like energy surged into his right leg, instantly engulfing his entire body!
That energy was domineering and pure, filled with the fighting spirit of the Diamond Tiger King, capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart.
Tang Feng felt his Right Leg Bone being crushed inch by inch, and then being reassembled at a visible speed under the infusion of the Soul Bone.
With each remodeling, the bone density solidifies further, and tiger stripes are etched deep into the marrow like inscriptions.
Two hours later, as the last ray of golden light merged into the bones, everything returned to calm.
Tang Feng slowly opened his eyes, a dark golden tiger shadow flashing in them.
Tang Feng stood up and gently moved his right leg. He heard a crisp sound like metal clashing between bones and felt a terrifying power surging through his right leg.
At this moment, Tang Feng's Right Leg Bone strength was comparable to that of a 90,000-year-old Soul Beast! Every time he bent his knee or lifted his leg, it was as if the power of a tiger king was roaring.
Moreover, the energy from the Soul Bone nourished his entire body, Tang Feng clearly sensed it:
My Soul Power has increased by two levels, reaching level fifty-six. My base strength, movement speed, and attack speed have all increased by at least 30%!
He summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, which increased in weight by nearly a thousand jin, reaching over ten thousand jin. Every move he made contained terrifying energy.
Right Leg Bone Soul Bone Skill " Tiger-Guarding Diamond Body ":
A golden shield forms around the entire body, lasting for sixty seconds.
When attacked, immediately reflect 50% of the melee physical damage, and remove and become immune to all negative control effects such as stun and freeze.
All defense attributes are increased by 200%. If the shield is broken, all damage is reduced by 60%.
If the shield is not broken within the time limit, it will transform into energy and be absorbed into the body, increasing the body's strength by 100%.
This is a perfect defensive counterattack skill, but it consumes a lot of Soul Power, requiring 30% of Tang Feng's current Soul Power. However, as his Soul Power Level increases, the percentage will decrease.
Tang Feng's mind stirred, and he uttered a low shout, " Tiger-Guarding Diamond Body!"
With a "whoosh," a dazzling golden shield instantly enveloped his entire body.
The moment Grandpa Tang Lie saw the protective shield, his pupils contracted sharply. "This is... a defensive shield?"
Tang Feng nodded. "Grandpa, let's try a full-force attack!"
Tang Lie didn't hold back either, gathering the power of Titled Douluo into his fist and smashing it down!
"Boom!"
The protective shield flashed with golden light, yet remained completely still, like a rock! The terrifying recoil forced Tang Lie back three steps, his hands going numb!
Tang Lie was overjoyed, "Great! This protective shield can probably withstand even a full-force attack from a normal Eighth Soul Skill without harming you!"
Tang Feng was equally delighted and extremely satisfied with the " Tiger-Guarding Diamond Body " Soul Bone Skill.
Looking back at his own combat capabilities, Tang Feng clearly realized that in terms of attack, he currently had more than enough means.
The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, with eighty-one strikes stacked upon each other, possesses the power to shatter mountains.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes are a fusion of nine different power-generating techniques, making one virtually invincible in close combat among those of the same level, and capable of fighting opponents of higher levels as well.
The Third Soul Skill, " Lava Purgatory Hammer," is a domain-enhancing skill that deals continuous damage and provides crowd control.
The Fourth Soul Skill, " Flame Dragon Soul-Chasing Break," is a guaranteed hit that locks onto targets and is as fast as lightning, completely compensating for the speed deficiency and preventing the user from being kited.
The Fifth Soul Skill, " Heaven-Burning Meteor Strike," unleashes four hammers from the sky in a powerful frontal attack, causing widespread destruction—it's simply devastating and incomparably domineering.
There are also three self-created moves called " Sea-Calming Hammer Technique," which, although not as exquisite as Clear Sky's ultimate skills, are more than enough to deal with ordinary opponents.
Five major combat methods, encompassing both single-target and area-of-effect attacks, suitable for both close and long-range engagements, have formed a perfect combat system!
However, his defense is somewhat lacking, which is Tang Feng's only weakness.
The Soul Bone Soul Skill " Invincible Golden Body " provides absolute defense for three seconds, but due to the limitations of its cooldown time and number of uses, it can only be used as a last resort for survival.
The self-created " Sea-Calming Hammer Technique " third move, " Protect Mountains and Rivers," can resist physical attacks of the same level, but it is powerless against energy attacks.
Apart from that, one can only rely on Teleportation skills or the speed advantage of the Flame Dragon Wings to dodge and maneuver; otherwise, one can only use the hammer to take the hit head-on.
Although Tang Feng's physical body had been Ice and Fire Body Refining, making him strong enough that attacks from opponents of the same level would hardly harm him, Tang Feng's enemy was the Spirit Hall, a place teeming with experts.
Once the " Invincible Golden Body " cools down, it provides an additional means of survival when facing powerful enemies' energy attacks or mental control, or when locked in by Soul Skill and unable to escape.
"As expected of a top-grade Soul Bone with 85,000 years of history, it provides absolute defense, immunity to control, damage reflection, and power amplification."
"With it, the defensive weakness has been addressed, and our combat strength has soared!" Tang Feng muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming.
After much thought, I've realized that only one piece of the puzzle is missing: psychological warfare.
Although Tang Feng had already reached a level of spiritual power comparable to that of Soul Saint at the Soul King realm, he possessed immense spiritual power but lacked genuine spiritual attack methods.
Tang Feng murmured, "If I could acquire another mental attack technique, I would truly be invincible! The road to the peak is still long, keep striving, young man."
