Chapter 115 Tang Hao Makes the List, A Sudden Change Occurs in the Clear Sky Sect's Main Hall.
Sect Master Tang Xiao stood before the hall's entrance, his hands behind his back, gazing up at the sky.
"Sigh!"
His expression was even more solemn than when he saw the ranking of the Thousand-Jun Douluo.
"Light Feather Douluo, nineteenth place..." he repeated softly.
The image of his unruly yet exceptionally talented younger brother, Tang Hao, involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
"With Hao's talent and opportunities, if he were at his peak, with the Clear Sky Hammer and that 100,000-year soul ring, perhaps he could have squeezed into the top fifteen?"
"Even... the top twelve?"
Tang Xiao silently estimated in his heart, but then gave a bitter laugh.
"Even so, it seems there is still an insurmountable chasm between him and the top ten, or even higher positions." He couldn't help but think of his grandfather, Tang Chen, who was like a pillar supporting the glorious era of the Clear Sky Sect.
"If only my grandfather were still alive!"
Tang Xiao's eyes revealed deep remembrance and reverence.
"With his level 99 Limit Douluo cultivation, his unparalleled control over the Clear Sky Hammer, and the unfathomable mysteries of the 'Nine Absolute Techniques of Clear Sky' and the 'Great Sumeru Hammer'..."
"He will surely secure a place on this list!"
"Grandfather's name will definitely be among the top three!"
Thinking of the generous rewards Tang Chen might receive from the Heavenly Screen, Tang Xiao felt a surge of excitement.
But this was quickly extinguished by reality.
His grandfather had been missing for too long, his fate unknown.
The pillar of the Clear Sky Sect had already tilted.
"Now, we can only rely on ourselves."
Tang Xiao clenched his fist, his gaze becoming resolute again.
"No matter what, my Clear Sky Sect must not remain nameless on this list!"
"Brother Hao, I hope you are well and that one day you can restore the prestige of our Clear Sky Sect!"
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen stood atop the mountain.
Fine blue arcs of electricity occasionally flickered around his body, revealing the turmoil within him.
His originally fiery confidence, like thunder, had been greatly diminished by the successive announcements from the Heavenly Screen.
"Light Feather Douluo, level 96 peak, ranged attack is the ultimate, only ranked nineteenth!"
Yu Yuanzhen frowned, comparing himself to Light Feather Douluo in his mind.
"My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is a top-level beast martial soul, strong in close combat, and after dragon transformation, its defense and attack are both excellent, and its control over lightning is also extraordinary."
"Although my soul power is slightly inferior, in actual combat, I might not lose to him by too much."
His original goal was to break into the top ten, or at least the top fifteen.
But now it seems that this goal was a bit too optimistic.
Yu Yuanzhen pondered, "My advantage lies in frontal attacks, which have strong destructive power."
"But my weaknesses are also obvious: a lack of control, and my speed is not at its peak. I will suffer against some strange or extremely fast opponents…"
The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
"The top fifteen is probably my limit."
"Even, whether I can maintain the top fifteen is still unknown."
This judgment made this usually domineering sect leader feel powerless. The pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan seemed somewhat pale in the face of this absolute strength ranking.
"The waters of the continent are too deep. My Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan needs to forge ahead even more!"
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
His eyes were fixed on the sky.
He wanted to see clearly which monsters were ranked ahead of him!
"Boom boom boom!"
Golden light flowed across the sky.
Ignoring the commotion and speculation below, the power steadily converged upwards.
The new rankings slowly emerged under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
[Soul Master Power Ranking, 18th Place]
[Name: Tang Hao]
[Affiliation: Clear Sky Sect]
[Soul Power Level: 95]
[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer]
[Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Severely injured and with unstable soul power, relying on the world's number one weapon martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, the immense blood and soul skills granted by the 100,000-year soul rings, and the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique 'Nine Absolutes of Clear Sky' and the forbidden secret technique 'Ring Explosion', he can unleash terrifying combat power far exceeding his own level in a short period. Therefore, he is ranked 18th.]
[Rewards: Soul power increased by one level, all soul ring ages increased by 800 years, Clear Sky Hammer martial soul control ability increased by 20%]
"Eighteenth place! It's Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo!"
"He's only ranked eighteenth?"
"A battle beyond his level! And at the Title Douluo level no less! The Clear Sky Hammer, the Ring Explosion...it's terrifying!"
"No wonder the Clear Sky Sect is called the number one sect in the world, its foundation..."
Tang Hao's ranking instantly ignited a frenzy of discussion across the entire continent!
Especially the legendary "Ring Explosion" divine skill.
It was truly terrifying.
Most Soul Masters were familiar with it.
After the Title Douluo level, the gap between each level is like an insurmountable chasm.
To fight across levels is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Yet Tang Hao, despite being severely injured, managed to achieve this, his ferocity and power deeply impressing everyone!
Spirit Hall, Pope's Hall.
Upon seeing the name "Tang Hao," Bibi Dong's purple eyes instantly erupted with a chilling killing intent.
Even her Rakshasa Divine Power fluctuated.
"Tang! Hao!"
She practically spat out the name through clenched teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred.
Not only because Tang Hao was an enemy of the Spirit Hall, but also because of his son, Tang San.
That boy with twin martial souls, a boy with limitless potential!
If this father and son were allowed to grow up, they would undoubtedly become a major threat to the Spirit Hall in the future!
"Severely injured, eighteenth!"
Bibi Dong's killing intent intensified.
"We must find him as soon as possible, and while he's still injured, eliminate him completely!"
Hall of Offerings.
Qian Daoliu looked at Tang Hao's name, his golden pupils equally gleaming with cold light.
Although the true cause of his son Qian Xunji's death was Bibi Dong, Tang Hao was undoubtedly the trigger, the culprit who severely injured his son!
He remembered this grudge as well.
"Exploding Rings... Hmph, a desperate tactic."
Qian Daoliu sneered, his tone disdainful.
But deep in his eyes was a hint of seriousness.
He had to admit that, in a desperate state, Tang Hao, who had mastered the Exploding Rings, did indeed possess the ability to threaten opponents of a higher level.
Guangling Douluo and Qianjun Douluo looked even more unpleasant as they saw Tang Hao ranked ahead of them.
The resentment in their hearts almost overwhelmed their reason.
"He's just relying on the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique and his 100,000-year soul ring to act arrogantly!"
Guangling Douluo said coldly.
"If it were one-on-one, the outcome would be uncertain!"
Qianjun Douluo also gritted his teeth.
Qian Daoliu glanced at them but did not say anything more.
He had his own plans: "Once Xiaoxue completes the divine test, I will personally clean house!"
"Tang Hao, your life will be recorded for now."
In a remote corner of the small town, Tang Hao looked at his name and evaluation on the sky, feeling the pure energy of heaven and earth surging into his body.
His soul power, originally at the early stage of level 95, instantly broke through, reaching level 96!
At the same time, he could clearly feel that his soul rings had become more solid.
Especially the red 100,000-year soul ring, its light seemed to have deepened slightly.
His connection with Ah Yin also seemed to be closer, bringing a sense of comfort.
However, there was no joy on his face.
Only deep astonishment and a trace of bitterness.
"Eighteenth place, not even in the top fifteen?"
He muttered to himself.
This ranking was still lower than his expectations.
He thought that with the exploding rings and the 100,000-year soul ring, he could at least squeeze into the top fifteen, or even higher.
"It seems I underestimated the heroes of the world and overestimated my current state."
Tang Hao clenched his fist, feeling the increase in his soul power.
But the old, deep-seated wound remained like a persistent carbuncle, showing little improvement despite the reward.
"I must find a way to heal this old wound as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Just as his thoughts raced, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom boom boom!"
An invisible yet immense pressure surged in from all directions like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the dilapidated city!
The surrounding weeds, blue silver grass, and even the tenacious moss in the cracks of the walls seemed to come alive at that moment.
Embodying submission and fear, they all collapsed in a certain direction!
Space slightly distorted.
A figure silently appeared in the open space not far in front of Tang Hao.
It was a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, dressed in a simple gray robe.
But his eyes possessed an eerie dark green, as if containing endless forests and ancient life.
Wherever he passed, the surrounding plants retreated, as if he were the master of all plants!
He was acting on the orders of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
The Demon King, one of the ten most ferocious beasts to infiltrate the human world and gather intelligence!
The Demon King's true form is the Demon Eye Tree, possessing unparalleled control over plants.
He can use any plant as his eyes and ears to gather information.
He had already used the plants in the city to pinpoint the recently rewarded and renowned Haotian Douluo among human soul masters!
"Tang Hao, a top genius among humans!"
The Demon King's dark green eyes locked onto Tang Hao.
A cruel and cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
