Tang Hao the Coward! The Blue Silver King in Peril!

After Ye Yang grievously wounded Tang Hao, his elder brother Tang Xiao carried him away in a panicked flight, heading deeper into the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although the mixed zone had quite a few solitary Soul Beasts that were twenty to thirty thousand years old,

as well as pack-dwelling Soul Beasts that were ten to twenty thousand years old and large numbers of Thousand-Year Soul Beasts,

they posed little problem for the two brothers.

A level 80 Soul Douluo was equivalent to a seventy-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

Soul Beasts that powerful were rare in the mixed zone.

And Ye Yang was the only Soul Beast in the entire world as monstrous as he was.

After fleeing for more than an hour, Tang Xiao saw that Ye Yang had not pursued them and breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly set Tang Hao down and called softly, "Little brother! Little brother!"

Tang Xiao had already used his Soul Power to stop Tang Hao's bleeding as he ran.

Tang Hao had a powerful constitution, and his Soul Power and injuries were recovering on their own.

Of course, the severed bone in his right arm could not recover for the time being.

Even with Tang Hao's cultivation, it would take at least ten days to half a month for it to heal completely.

But Tang Hao did not react to his brother's calls.

His eyes were open, staring blankly at the night sky, lifeless as a dead man's.

"Little brother!"

Tang Xiao called again, anxiety rising in his heart.

When Tang Hao still did not respond, Tang Xiao grew anxious and angry. He raised his rough, broad hand and slapped Tang Hao hard across the face twice.

Two loud smacks rang out, but Tang Hao remained unmoved. His lips stirred.

"Big brother, go on. Don't worry about me."

Seeing Tang Hao like this, Tang Xiao pitied his misfortune but was furious at his refusal to fight on.

"So you failed once. What's the big deal?"

"Once we've added our Soul Rings and grown stronger, we can go back and turn the tables on them!"

"You're the future sect master of our Clear Sky Sect!"

"Everyone's watching you, waiting for you. Are you really going to give up on yourself like this?"

History had an uncanny way of repeating itself.

Ye Yang's appearance had changed Douluo's original history.

He had made enemies of the Tang brothers and the Blue Silver Emperor.

Yet Tang Hao's fate remained unchanged.

After suffering a setback, the so-called greatest prodigy on the continent had fallen into the same slump as in the original story, never to recover!

That was also why Ye Yang looked down on him.

What made a person truly strong was not their combat power, but their heart!

With a strong heart, one's combat power would not be too weak either; even a carp could leap over the Dragon Gate.

It could be said that Tang Hao's despair was inevitable!

The so-called greatest prodigy on the continent was nothing but a coward!

Still, after hearing Tang Xiao's words, a little awareness returned to Tang Hao's eyes.

Besides his cultivation, Tang Xiao had a good head on his shoulders, which was how he had become sect master in the original story.

He continued to encourage Tang Hao. "Little brother, you saw it too. That woman underwent Soul Beast Transformation!"

"Her true body's cultivation must have been over a hundred thousand years old. She was incredibly powerful."

"And that ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass was no ordinary specimen either."

"Though its Soul Power was only at the ten-thousand-year level, it had an extraordinary bloodline and powerful Spiritual Power, and it seemed to have a Soul Bone as well."

"Naturally, its combat power can't be judged by its ten-thousand-year Soul Power cultivation alone."

"He caught you off guard, ambushing and targeting you again and again. It doesn't matter that you lost to him this time."

"There's plenty of time ahead of us. We'll soon pay him back!"

As Tang Xiao encouraged Tang Hao, he was also rapidly considering what to do next.

"That's right!"

"I remember Father once said that when he became a Titled Douluo and was looking for a Soul Ring, he found a Blue Silver Grass over eighty thousand years old somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"No, strictly speaking, it was no ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It was a king among them, with an extraordinary bloodline."

Tang Hao's eyes lit up, and he sat up from where he had been slumped.

A cold light flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes, and he gritted his teeth. "Little brother, plant Soul Beasts rarely move, and it's difficult for them to do so."

"This Blue Silver Grass is mine!"

"Once I absorb its Soul Ring and truly become a Soul Douluo, my strength is sure to increase considerably."

In truth, a Blue Silver Grass plant Soul Beast was not well suited to the Clear Sky Hammer.

However, its Soul Power of over eighty thousand years was strong enough.

Animal Soul Beasts over eighty thousand years old had formidable combat power, and in the brothers' current condition, they would be difficult to hunt.

What was more, both brothers hated Blue Silver Grass.

Thus, they instantly agreed to hunt down this Blue Silver King.

Tang Xiao continued, "Once your injuries have healed, we'll go back and kill those two Soul Beasts!"

"That woman's Soul Ring is yours!"

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Ring will surely make you the true strongest expert on the continent!"

"Where you failed against Blue Silver Grass, you'll win it back from Blue Silver Grass!"

Tang Hao instantly grew excited. "Big brother! You..."

Tang Xiao shook his head with a smile, cutting Tang Hao off.

"Little brother, I know what you want to say."

"But you also know that I'm not as talented as you, and my future achievements won't match yours."

"My body couldn't withstand a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as my Eighth Soul Ring."

"So you're the only suitable one to absorb it!"

Tang Hao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "All right!"

"Then it's settled. I'll absorb the Soul Ring, and the Soul Bone goes to you."

"We brothers will split the benefits equally!"

Tang Xiao smiled too and reached out his broad hand, clasping Tang Hao's tightly.

"All right!"

"Little brother, united as one, we'll surely stand at the pinnacle of Soul Masters and restore Grandpa's glory!"

At those words, Tang Hao's vigor and spirit returned completely.

He remembered his vanished grandfather, Tang Chen, who had once been a level 99 Peak Douluo!

That was the limit for a Soul Master, a powerful existence who had held the world in awe.

But he had disappeared years ago while seeking the path to godhood, and no one knew whether he was still alive.

Since childhood, the brothers' father had impressed upon them how powerful their grandfather had been and how glorious the Clear Sky Sect had once been.

Although the Clear Sky Sect was still the continent's number one sect, it had made no progress for many years.

On the contrary, its strength had continued to decline.

The Spirit Hall, by contrast, was rising ever faster, posing an ever greater threat to the Clear Sky Sect.

Becoming a Peak Douluo and leading the Clear Sky Sect to greater heights had always been Tang Hao's goal.

Now, hearing his brother's words, Tang Hao seemed to see a glorious future in which he hunted a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, transformed at a breathtaking pace, and became the strongest expert on the continent!

When Ye Yang and Ah Yin awoke at noon the next day from their special dual cultivation in each other's arms, Tang Hao had also recovered for the most part.

Aside from scabs over the bones in both hands and the tip of his left foot, and his inability to exert strength with his right arm, he was almost entirely well.

His Soul Power and Spiritual Power had fully recovered.

The rest of his injuries would need time to heal.

"Big brother, let's go!"

"First hunt down that Blue Silver King and increase your strength. Then come back and help me recover."

Tang Xiao nodded.

The eighty-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King was comparable to an ordinary newly advanced Soul Douluo.

With his strength, he could handle it.

And even if his little brother was not at his best, he could still provide support. Together, they would have little difficulty taking down the Blue Silver King.

"I remember Father saying it was to the southeast. Let's go!"

The Star Dou Great Forest was vast. Even with their strength and a general idea of where to look, it took the two brothers three full days to find the Blue Silver King.

This Blue Silver King was the very one who had helped Tang San awaken his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline in the original story.

It was the oldest in the entire Star Dou Great Forest, even older than Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Its cultivation was slow only because its talent held it back.

With eighty-five thousand years of cultivation, it had indeed lived for nearly that many years!

"Let's go. It's time to move somewhere else."

At the same time, Ye Yang smiled and spoke to Ah Yin.

He had fully recovered, and his strength had risen to another level.

However, because of the great battle here four nights ago, no Soul Beast had dared approach the place even now.

On top of that, they had stayed here long enough, and prey had grown scarce.

Ye Yang was ready to find a new home.

Ah Yin nodded and had just lifted Ye Yang's true body when her expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no!"

"Senior Blue Silver King is badly injured and in mortal danger!"
