Ning Rongrong spent a few days playing on Mount Aermo before reluctantly returning home. However, during those few days, she seemed to have become much more cheerful, especially after playing and having a snowball fight with the four girls, Lingling, Yanyan, and Tianyue, on the snow mountain.
After Ning Fengzhi and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe visited their grandfather Yang Wudi, they failed to reach any consensus and ultimately had to leave disappointed.
However, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo felt somewhat gratified seeing Ning Rongrong's appearance.
Sword Douluo couldn't help but nod. " Fengzhi, Rongrong hasn't been this happy in a long time. The Breaking Clan has certainly chosen a good place, secluded from the world."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a while before speaking, "At first, I didn't quite understand why they chose Mount Aermo, but now it seems they made the right choice. Staying away from the vortex and the strife, they've developed to this extent in just a few years."
Sword Douluo seemed a little conflicted. " Fengzhi, what if Rongrong stayed in Mount Aermo? I think Rongrong would be happier that way."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "It's too late now. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has suffered too many casualties. Rongrong will never be able to let go of this deep-seated hatred. It's her responsibility as the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Besides, even if I wanted to retreat, I couldn't. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no way out, nor does it have the resources to do so."
Sword Douluo asked, somewhat puzzled, " Old Bones and I are Titled Douluo, how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not have the resources?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed, " Uncle Jian, things are different now. Our younger generation doesn't have any outstanding disciples, nor do we have Poison Douluo to intimidate us. Besides, everyone is burdened with deep-seated hatred."
At this moment, Tang San was alone in his room, thinking about his future development and plans. Since arriving in the Douluo Continent, Tang San had always been very confident in his talent. Innate Full Soul Power, plus Twin Martial Souls, especially his Second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, which was the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world. This made him very proud.
However, in recent years, his former confidence and arrogance seem to have vanished. The people at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy are all around his age, especially Yang Podi, who is only five years older than him and is already Titled Douluo. Will he be able to break through to Titled Douluo in another five years?
Tang San went to consult his teacher Yu Xiaogang, but Yu Xiaogang was even more surprised than Tang San. Yu Xiaogang had studied countless historical materials and compiled countless data. The youngest Titled Douluo in history was undoubtedly Tang Hao, but Tang Hao also entered the Titled Douluo level at the age of forty-four.
The person in front of me, Yang Podi, is actually Titled Douluo, and he is only twenty-four years old. That is to say, Yang Podi has improved Tang Hao's record by a full twenty years. Moreover, judging from his age, he is theoretically capable of participating in the Soul Master Tournament. This is simply unimaginable.
The master and apprentice talked for a long time but came to no conclusion and couldn't figure anything out.
Yu Xiaogang, in particular, was very curious about Yang Podi's rapid improvement, but unfortunately Yang Podi completely ignored him, let alone respected him.
Tang San, somewhat dejected, said to Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, since reaching the Soul Emperor, I feel my cultivation speed has slowed down considerably, and I no longer have the same overwhelming power over Soul Master of the same level as before."
As Tang San said, when he was at the Soul Elder and Soul Ancestor stages, he could rely on the Tang Sect Secret Techniques, especially Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, to be invincible among Soul Master of the same level. However, since entering the Soul Emperor, and especially after his Blue Silver Grass did not Second Awakening, he could no longer completely defeat Soul Master of the same level.
Especially within the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is extremely domineering, and the control advantage of the Blue Silver Grass is diminishing. It is likely that the gap will widen further after reaching the Soul Saint. After all, the Clear Sky Hammer can only unleash its full power when using its Tool Soul Avatar, while the Blue Silver Grass is merely Plant-type Martial Soul. No Plant-type Martial Soul, when cultivated to its ultimate form, can rival the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San has been following the cultivation method provided by Yu Xiaogang, Blue Silver Grass has been absorbing Soul Ring through both control and poison attributes. The power is indeed quite good, but unfortunately, the cultivation speed seems to be getting slower and slower.
Tang San is now starting to doubt whether he can actually cultivate to the Titled Douluo level using Blue Silver Grass. There are very few plant-type Titled Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent. However, his father and teacher both oppose him adding Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, and the conflict between his Twin Martial Souls remains unresolved.
Yu Xiaogang was speechless upon hearing Tang San's words. He was merely a Soul Grandmaster and had no clue about the cultivation of Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint.
However, Yu Xiaogang finally spoke up, " Xiao San, do you have any cultivation plans recently?"
Tang San shook his head in unison. "Right now, I'm just following my father's plan step by step in my cultivation. Recently, I've been spending more time practicing with the Clear Sky Hammer."
Yu Xiaogang thought for a long time before speaking, " Xiao San, you're too obsessed with the Clear Sky Hammer and the power of your Martial Soul. Now that you're focusing on Blue Silver Grass Blue Silver Grass, you should put more effort into it. Otherwise, you'll only get slower and slower in the future."
"Just like Flender and Zhao Wuji, although they only have a single Martial Soul, they focus wholeheartedly on cultivating that single Martial Soul. Even after reaching the Soul Douluo level, advancing one level every year is no problem for them."
"Your talent is far superior to Zhao Wuji and Flender's, and your cultivation speed will be much faster. At your current rate of time, it will take you at most fifteen years to break through to the Titled Douluo level. At that time, if you add all the Soul Ring over 50,000 years old to the Clear Sky Hammer, you can reach level 97 or 98 in a short period of time. This is the biggest advantage of Twin Martial Souls."
Tang San seemed somewhat unwilling. "Teacher, besides this, is there no other way to improve quickly?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. " Soul Master usually cultivate step by step. If they want to improve quickly, it is often when they encounter great danger that their bodies can unleash unimaginable potential. Just like when your father wanted you to go to the Slaughter City, he actually wanted you to improve yourself through the dangers of the Slaughter City. Unfortunately, your father's plan failed."
" Xiao San, actually I've always had an idea, a cultivation method that might be more suitable for you, but that would put you in great danger, even fatal danger."
Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled, "Teacher, I'm not afraid of danger, please tell me."
Yu Xiaogang said with a serious expression, "Have you heard of Sea God Island? The Soul Master there are different from those on our continent. Sea God Island is also the only place in the entire Soul Master World that is truly unafraid of the Martial God Temple."
Sea God Island? What kind of place is Sea God Island?
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment before speaking, " Sea God Island is a small island located at the westernmost point of the entire continent, outside of Vast Sea City, and it is still a very long distance from Vast Sea City."
"That place is called Devil Island by the Spirit Hall, and the Soul Master there are called Sea Soul Master. They consider themselves children of the sea and worship the Sea God."
" The Spirit Hall once sent four Titled Douluo and two thousand Soul Master Soul Master to try to recruit them, but they suffered a crushing defeat. Only about one hundred Soul Master actually returned, and they even lost two Titled Douluo. This was the Spirit Hall's biggest defeat in recent years."
Tang San looked on in astonishment. "Is Sea God Island really that powerful? Even two Titled Douluo were killed, and nearly two thousand ordinary Soul Master were lost. Didn't the Spirit Hall ever think of retaliating afterward?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I initially went to Sea God Island with the Spirit Hall out of curiosity, but the Spirit Hall's war was extremely brutal. They were basically crushed. In particular, the combat style of Sea Soul Master is completely different from that of land Soul Master. They can fight flexibly in the sea, and some high-level Soul Master can even use the power of the sea."
"I remember that everyone on Sea God Island is Soul Master, and there are also several Titled Douluo. According to my estimation, there are probably still Level 99 Peerless Douluo there, otherwise the Spirit Hall would not have given up so easily. You know, Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall is also Level 99 Peerless Douluo."
Tang San said with a determined look, "Teacher, I want to go to Sea God Island to train. There might be more suitable opportunities for me there."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I've been reluctant to mention Sea God Island to you because I was afraid you might not return. Any Soul Master can pass the test to join Sea God Island and become a Sea Soul Master, and can even achieve great improvement there. However, Sea God Island has very strict rules, and no Sea Soul Master can leave Sea God Island."
"With your talent, I'm not worried about whether you can reach Sea God Island or pass Sea God Island trials. However, once you become Sea Soul Master, you can't leave Sea God Island. Without a special opportunity, you probably won't have a chance to come back. Besides, Sea Soul Master generally use Sea Soul Beast as their Martial Soul, such as seagulls, seahorses, or Sea Horse. They may not be that strong individually, but they are extremely fast and very suitable for survival in the ocean. With your speed, you simply can't keep up with them in the ocean."
Tang San thought for a long time before speaking, "Teacher, I must go to Sea God Island. The gap in my strength is too great right now, and that place should be able to help me improve quickly. As for how to return, I will leave a secret signal. If all else fails, I will ask Elder Bai He to bring me back."
Yu Xiaogang nodded helplessly. "That's one way. Elder Bai He's speed Wushuang; he's indeed much faster than those Sea Soul Master. If you're going, you'd better prepare in advance."
Now that the Speed Clan and Strength Clan have returned to the Clear Sky Sect, Bai He and Tai Tan have both become outer sect elders of the Clear Sky Sect. Bai He is the first outer sect elder, and Tai Tan is the second outer sect elder, so they can be considered to have some status.
After Tang San finished communicating with Yu Xiaogang, he went directly to his father Tang Hao and Tang Xiao and told them about his desire to go to Sea God Island for training.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were immediately taken aback, their faces changing completely.
Tang San seemed a little puzzled. "Dad, Uncle, is there something wrong with this Sea God Island?"
Tang Xiao shook his head. " Xiao San, do you know why my Clear Sky Sect is the number one sect in the world?"
Tang San asked with some confusion, "Isn't it because our Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world?"
Tang Xiao shook his head. " The Clear Sky Hammer is indeed the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world, but its true power comes from your Tang Chen. Your grandfather Tang Chen's strength reached Level 99 back then, and he was even slightly stronger than Qian Daoliu, the Qian Daoliu Great Enshrined the Spirit Hall. That's why our Clear Sky Sect was known as the number one sect in the world. It's a pity that your great-grandfather has been missing for fifty years, otherwise our Clear Sky Sect would not have been forced to close its mountain, and would not have ended up in such a state."
Tang San seemed a little puzzled. "Uncle, what does this have to do with Sea God Island? Have you been to Sea God Island too?"
Tang Xiao's expression turned serious. "I went to Sea God Island with your father once to deliver a message for your great-grandfather. Sea God Island is not a place to joke around, especially with Sea God Island Great Enshrined Bo Saixi, who is Level 99 Peerless Douluo."
"Back then, my grandfather and Qian Daoliu went to Sea God Island together. The two of them fought Bo Saixi for three days and three nights. It was a battle that shook the heavens and the earth. Do you know how it ended?"
Tang San asked in surprise, "Did both my great-grandfather and Qian Daoliu lose?"
Tang Xiao's face was solemn. "Back then, your grandfather and Qian Daoliu each fought against Bo Saixi, the Great Enshrined of Sea God Island, and both of them lost without any suspense."
"Your great- Tang Chen was known as Invincible on Land, and Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi Great Enshrined Elder of the Spirit Hall, possessed the Sea God of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was known as Invincible in the Sky. However, neither of them could defeat Sea God Douluo on Sea God Island. Bo Saixi's Martial Soul is Seagod, and her title is Seagod Douluo. On Sea God Island, she can command the power of the sea. Unless you are a level 100 expert, no one can defeat the Sea God Douluo."
Tang San was shocked, but finally spoke with a firm look in his eyes, "Uncle, my teacher said that as long as you pass the test, you can join Sea God Island Sea God Island, but you can't leave there."
Tang Xiao nodded. " Sea God Island does indeed have such a rule, and as long as you pass the test, your strength can be greatly improved. However, the rules of Sea God Island are extremely strict, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to return."
However, Tang San ultimately decided to go to Sea God Island for training. After listening to Tang San's decision, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao explained the precautions for Sea God Island in detail and made relevant arrangements.
These past few days I've focused on writing about Tang San, which also serves as an introduction to Tang San later actions. It's also a kind of division...
