Chapter 115: Tang Hao Makes the List, Sudden Change Occurs
Clear Sky Sect, Sect Main Hall.
Sect Master Tang Xiao stood in front of the hall entrance, his hands clasped behind his back.
Gazing up at the heavenly curtain.
"Alas!"
His expression was even more solemn than when he had previously seen Thousand Jun Douluo's ranking.
"Light Feather Douluo, nineteenth place..."
He repeated it in a low voice.
In his mind, the figure of his unruly yet exceptionally talented younger brother—Brother Hao (Tang Hao)—involuntarily appeared.
"Given Brother Hao's talent and opportunities, if he were in his prime, relying on the Clear Sky Hammer and that hundred thousand year spirit ring, perhaps he could squeeze into the top fifteen?"
"Maybe even... the top twelve?"
Tang Xiao silently calculated in his heart, but then gave a bitter smile.
"But even so, the distance to the top ten, or even higher positions, still seems like an insurmountable chasm."
He couldn't help but recall his grandfather, Tang Chen, who was like a giant pillar supporting the glorious era of the Clear Sky Sect.
"If only Grandfather were still here!"
Tang Xiao's eyes revealed deep reminiscence and reverence.
"With his cultivation as a level 99 Limit Douluo, his masterful control over the Clear Sky Hammer, and the unfathomable Profound Truth of the 'Clear Sky Nine Absolutes' and 'Great Sumeru Hammer'...
"He would definitely secure a spot on this ranking!"
"The top three must include Grandfather's name!"
Thinking of the generous Heavenly Dao rewards Tang Chen might receive.
Tang Xiao felt a surge of heat in his heart.
But he was immediately dampened by reality.
His grandfather had been missing for too long, his fate unknown.
The giant pillar of the Clear Sky Sect had long since tilted.
"Now, we can only rely on ourselves."
Tang Xiao clenched his fist, and his gaze became firm once more.
"No matter what, my Clear Sky Sect must not be unknown on this list!"
"Brother Hao, I hope you are well, and that one day you can restore the prestige of my Clear Sky Sect!"
...Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen stood atop the mountain Peak.
Fine blue electric arcs occasionally jumped around his body, showing the turmoil within him.
His original confidence, which was as fierce as thunder,
Had now been largely diminished by the continuous announcements on the heavenly curtain.
"Light Feather Douluo, Peak level 96, extreme long-range, only ranked nineteenth!"
Yu Yuanzhen frowned deeply, comparing himself to Light Feather Douluo in his mind.
"My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is a top-tier Beast Spirit, formidable in close combat; after Dragon Transformation, both defense and offense are excellent, and my 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 charge into the top ten.
At the very least, the top fifteen.
But now it seemed this goal was overly optimistic.
Yu Yuanzhen pondered, "My advantage lies in frontal assault and powerful destructive force."
"But the weaknesses are also obvious: lack of control, non-extreme speed, and I would suffer losses against opponents who are strange or extremely fast..."
The more he thought, the heavier his heart became.
"The top fifteen is probably my limit."
"Furthermore, whether I can even hold onto the top fifteen is still an unknown."
This realization made this Sect Master, who was always overbearing, feel a wave of powerlessness.
The pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, in the face of this absolute strength ranking,
Seemed somewhat pale.
"The waters of the Continent are too deep. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still needs to strive harder!"
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
His gaze was fixed intently on the heavenly curtain.
He wanted to clearly see which monsters were ranked ahead of him!
"Boom boom boom!"
Golden light flowed across the heavenly curtain.
Ignoring the commotion and speculation below, it steadily converged upwards.
New ranking information slowly appeared under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
[soul master strongest ranking, Eighteenth Place]
[Name: Tang Hao]
[Affiliation: Clear Sky Sect]
[Soul Power Rank: level 95]
[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer]
[Spirit Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red]
[Combat Power Evaluation: Heavily injured and with unstable Soul Power, but relying on the Clear Sky Hammer—the number one Tool Spirit in the World—the immense Vitality and Martial Soul Abilities granted by the hundred thousand year spirit ring, as well as the Clear Sky Sect's Ultimate Technique 'Clear Sky Nine Absolutes' and the Forbidden Secret Technique 'Ring Explosion', he can temporarily unleash terrifying combat power far exceeding his own Rank. Therefore, he is ranked eighteenth.]
[Reward: Soul Power increased by one Rank, the age of all Soul Rings increased by eight hundred years, Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul control ability + 20%.]
"Eighteenth place! It's Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!"
"He's only ranked eighteenth?"
"Fighting above one's rank! And at the Titled Douluo level! Clear Sky Hammer, Ring Explosion... too terrifying!"
"No wonder the Clear Sky Sect is called the Number One Sect in the World, this Foundation..."
Tang Hao making the list
Instantly ignited a wave of hot discussion across the entire Continent!
Especially the legendary "Ring Explosion" Divine Skill.
It made people tremble with fear.
Most Soul Masters knew clearly.
After Titled Douluo, the gap between each Rank was like an insurmountable chasm.
Wanting to fight above one's Rank was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Yet Tang Hao could achieve this while heavily injured; his ferocity and strength were deeply imprinted in people's minds!
Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
When Bibi Dong saw the words "Tang Hao," her Purple Eyes instantly erupted with tangible, icy killing intent.
The Rakshasa divine force around her body couldn't help but fluctuate.
"Tang! Hao!"
She practically squeezed the name out from between her teeth, carrying bone-deep hatred.
Not only because Tang Hao was an enemy of Spirit Hall, but also because of his son, Tang San.
That boy who possessed twin spirits and boundless potential!
If this father and son pair were allowed to grow, they would certainly become a Serious Hidden Danger for Spirit Hall in the future!
"Heavily injured state, eighteenth place!"
The killing intent in Bibi Dong's heart grew stronger.
"We must find him quickly, and while he is severely injured, completely eliminate him!"
Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu looked at Tang Hao's name, and cold light similarly flashed in his Golden Pupils.
Although the true cause of death of his son, Qian Xunji, was Bibi Dong.
Tang Hao was undoubtedly the fuse, the Main Culprit who severely injured his son!
He remembered this hatred just the same.
"Ring Explosion... Hmph, a trick of Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst."
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain.
But deep in his eyes, there was a trace of solemnity.
He had to admit that in a desperate state,
Tang Hao, who mastered Ring Explosion, indeed possessed the ability to threaten higher-level opponents.
Light Feather Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo looked at Tang Hao ranked ahead of them, their expressions even uglier.
The Feeling of Indignation in their hearts was almost enough to overwhelm their reason.
"He's just relying on the Clear Sky Sect's Secret Technique and a hundred thousand year spirit ring to act ferociously!"
Light Feather Douluo's tone was icy cold.
"If it were one-on-one, the outcome would still be unknown!"
Thousand Jun Douluo also said through gritted teeth.
Qian Daoliu glanced at them but did not say much.
He had his own plans: "Once Xiao Xue completes her God Trial, I will personally take action and Cleanse the Sect!"
"Tang Hao, your life is noted for now."
In a corner of a remote Small City.
Tang Hao looked at his name and evaluation on the heavenly curtain, feeling the pure Energy of Heaven and Earth surge 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 that red hundred thousand year spirit ring, whose light seemed to deepen slightly.
His connection with Ah Yin also seemed closer, bringing a trace of comfort.
However, there was no trace of joy on his face.
Only deep astonishment and a hint of bitterness.
"Eighteenth place? I can't even get into the top fifteen?"
He muttered to himself.
This ranking was still lower than his internal expectation.
He thought that relying on Ring Explosion and the hundred thousand year spirit ring,
He could at least squeeze into the top fifteen.
Or even higher.
"It seems I still underestimated the heroes of the World and overestimated my current condition."
Tang Hao clenched his fist, feeling that although his Soul Power had increased,
The Old, Chronic Injuries remained like a maggot in the bone, and were not significantly healed by this reward.
"I must find a way to treat these old injuries quickly, otherwise..."
Just as his thoughts were racing,
A sudden change occurred!
"Boom boom boom!"
An invisible yet vast and majestic Pressure surged from all directions like a tide.
Instantly enveloping this dilapidated Urban Area!
The surrounding weeds, Blue Silver Grass, and even the tenacious Moss in the cracks of the wall corners,
All seemed to gain life at this moment.
Emitting thoughts of submission and fear, they all bowed down towards a certain direction!
The space slightly distorted.
A figure silently appeared in an open space not far in front of Tang Hao.
It was a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a simple Gray Robe.
But his eyes showed a strange, Dark Green color.
As if they contained endless forests and ancient life.
Wherever he passed, the surrounding plants all retreated.
As if he were the Lord of Ten Thousand Plants!
He was, precisely, the Myriad Demon King, one of the Ten Great Evil Beasts, acting under the orders of Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, who had infiltrated the human World to investigate intelligence!
The Myriad Demon King's true form is the Demonic Eye Demon Tree, and his control over plants is superb.
He can use any plant as his eyes and ears to gather information.
He had long since used the plants in the city to lock onto this Clear Sky Douluo, who had just received a reward and was renowned among human Soul Masters!
"Tang Hao, the top Genius among humans!"
The Myriad Demon King's Dark Green eyes locked onto Tang Hao.
A cruel and icy curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
