"Pfft——"
Tang San spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood! The pattern between Tang Lan's eyebrows lit up, and a layer of blue-purple light shield appeared out of nowhere.
It prevented him from being splattered with blood.
Boundless Sea God's Soul Shield! The divine Boundless Sea God's Eyes already possessed a trace of sentience, and could automatically protect him.
Tang Lan couldn't be more satisfied.
He also didn't forget to care for Tang San, stepping forward to infuse him with Nine Yang Divine Skill's internal energy– the kind that was both abundant and satisfying.
After Tang San recovered.
He was horrified to realize he was "unclean" again!
He hastily pushed Tang Lan away.
"It's nothing, Brother. I just got a little internal injury from the fight earlier."
He was straight-up lying.
The fight against the Royal Fight Team had been a complete rout.
Tang San hadn't even gotten close to anyone, so where was the internal injury coming from? "Internal injury? Then you need to rest and recover even more!" Tang Lan said worriedly. "You know the healing power of the Nine Yang Divine Skill's inner energy. Let me help you, Brother!"
Tang San was so scared that he kept backing away!
"No need, no need!"
"I just need to adjust my breathing!"
"Big brother, you go ahead and take care of your business. I'm going back to rest!"
He dashed off in a flash, not even looking back.
He didn't even bother to ask about the Eight Treasure Ruyi Soft Armor.
Tang Lan sneered.
Even now, this little brat was still hiding things and refusing to be upfront?
Serves you right for suffering!
'Fine.'
If you had been upfront, I wouldn't have been able to manipulate the Celestial Herbs in two days.
Now...
You won't get a single one!
Tang Lan's eyes flickered.
He spun around abruptly, revealing a delicate figure in his embrace.
"Ah—"
Zhu Zhuqing gasped in surprise, startled.
"How did you find me?" she wondered. "Shadow Step is silent. It shouldn't have been possible."
Tang Lan's brow ridge flickered.
"This is a new ability I've gained. It allows me to scan my surroundings in a 360-degree, no-blind-spot view."
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
It's good that it's Tang Lan who's improved, not me who's fallen behind.
Then, she was overjoyed.
My man is getting stronger again!
She leaned against Tang Lan's embrace, gazing at his jawline with infatuation.
"Lan, kiss me~"
How could Tang Lan refuse such a reasonable request?
He lowered his head and kissed her.
His hands naturally found their places, and the enjoyable time began!
The next day.
When Tang Lan woke up, the beautiful woman beside him was already gone.
No surprise, she had gone off to train.
He got out of bed and stretched, his bones cracking and popping.
The External Soul Bone: Extinction Scorpion (Left Foot) had increased his soul ring limit by 4,000 years.
The Boundless Sea God's Eyes, as a divine-grade external soul bone, primarily amplified his soul.
The most intuitive form of mental power had increased nearly tenfold.
As for his physique... It was only 12,000 years old.
This allowed his soul ring limit to officially break through to 70,000 years.
With the rank of a five-ring Soul King, he was comparable to an eight-ring Soul Douluo! But when he thought about it,
Tang Lan had absorbed seven external soul bones and one 100,000-year soul bone.
It was only natural that he possessed this level of physique.
He quickly washed up.
Then he headed to the Tai'an Cafeteria to enjoy a delicious, specially prepared breakfast.
I had intended to go to the training grounds to see how everyone was progressing.
Liu Erlong, her complexion rosy, walked over with a swaying grace.
This caused Tang Lan to raise an eyebrow! The current Liu Erlong was very similar to Zhu Zhuqing's state after each encounter.
But judging by Liu Erlong's footsteps, she was still intact.
So... Did Yu Xiaogang get a little something on the side? Did he hold back, or did he not? As expected of Tang San's teacher, always saying one thing and doing another.
"Sect Master." Liu Erlong bowed slightly, "Tang Yuehua, the Pavilion Master of Moonlight Pavilion from the Heaven Dou Empire Court Etiquette Academy, requests an audience."
Tang Yuehua? Tang Hao's younger sister, Tang Lan's aunt.
There had been no movement before.
Last night, Tang Hao came looking for him.
It was obvious who he was looking for.
"Where is she?"
"The reception hall."
"Alright, you go and take care of things."
Tang Lan soared into the air and flew towards the reception hall.
At first glance, Tang Yuehua looked very young, perhaps only twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
But her eyes seemed to see through everything in the world.
It was definitely not something a woman of twenty-seven or twenty-eight could compare to.
Especially the noble aura she exuded. Even Qian Renxue, who was adept at disguises, was slightly inferior.
That was Tang Yuehua's innate domain – the Noble Circle.
It was also the foundation for her success in establishing herself in Heaven Dou City, despite being a woman with only nine levels of soul power.
She gathered intelligence from the outside world for the Clear Sky Sect.
"Aunt," Tang Lan greeted politely. "Father left again last night and will return at the latest tomorrow evening."
Tang Lan's candidness surprised Tang Yuehua.
But she didn't delve further.
Just sighing with emotion, "Second Brother really has a good son!"
Tang Lan smiled slightly, not saying anything.
Mainly… They weren't really close.
The two of them had no vested interests, and he didn't know what to talk about.
"Xiao Lan, is it alright if I call you that?" Tang Yuehua asked.
Tang Lan nodded, you're an elder, as you wish.
Seeing that Tang Lan didn't want to talk much.
Tang Yuehua also skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"With your talent, you could absolutely gain the recognition of the elders in the sect, and have a chance for your second brother to return to the clan."
"Your aunt can send you back to the Clear Sky Sect. I can't say for sure about other things, but at least you can learn the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes."
"When you become a Title Douluo in the future, there's a high chance you can inherit the Clear Sky title and learn the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique – the Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"The sect master of the Clear Sky Sect is our eldest brother, and he will help you."
So that's how it is. They see Tang Lan doing well, and now they want to recruit him.
Honestly… The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes are already almost irrelevant to Tang Lan.
The Great Sumeru Hammer… The core skill that utilizes the ring explosion technique. Due to the destructive force, he doesn't feel so eager to learn it anymore.
Compared to going to the Clear Sky Sect now and becoming a punching bag…
He'd rather wait until he became a Title Douluo before going to pick a fight the hard way.
— In the end, in this world, the one with the biggest fist has the final say.
"No rush." Tang Lan said tactfully, "My father and I are working on reviving my mother, so we can't leave for the time being."
Tang Yuehua was startled!
She didn't expect someone to refuse the temptation of the Great Sumeru Hammer.
And she certainly didn't expect that Ah Yin could possibly be revived?
She stood up immediately.
"When you want to return to the sect, you can come to Moonlight Pavilion to find your aunt."
"Your aunt has some connections in Heaven Dou City. Let me know if you need anything."
"Don't tell Second Brother I was here. I'll see you both together after Second Sister-in-law is revived."
With that, Tang Yuehua left decisively.
Tang Lan was quite favorably impressed.
She was a smart woman.
She saw that Tang Lan was merely being polite and didn't intend to socialize further.
So, she left tactfully, even making a promise before leaving.
No wonder she could hold her ground in the noble circles.
It was a pity.
Her soul power was only at rank nine, ultimately insignificant.
Although Tang Lan had ways to help her break through, what then?
Tang Yuehua was only a few years younger than Tang Hao, yet he was a Title Douluo, while she was only at rank nine.
Even if she could cultivate, it would only be a waste of time and resources.
Tang Lan stood up.
He used the Evil Eye's reset ability to test the soul ring explosion again.
Although the soul power from the explosion still couldn't be utilized efficiently.
But by borrowing the power of destruction, he could already convert his soul power into attack power.
And because of the existence of the Constant of Destruction, he didn't need to worry about the hammer being too heavy to lift.
My ring-bombing technique can be considered to have been preliminarily developed.
Tang Lan was in a very good mood.
He strolled over to the training ground.
Zhao Wuji was still using his gravity soul skill, but the number of people had doubled.
After their levels increased.
Simple physical training was no longer very effective, so they changed to sparring between the first and second teams.
Ning Rongrong wasn't present; she had probably been called back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Bai Chenxiang from the second team hadn't returned either.
This was a 6v6 match.
Compared to last time, the first team, having absorbed soul bones and undergone enhancements, clearly had a higher level of combat effectiveness.
Oscar's Demon Claw: Split Right Leg Bone's soul bone skill inherited "Double Casting," so he was now producing sausages two at a time.
The consumption was naturally greater.
But the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent (Left Leg Bone) - Soul Bone Skill: Hormone Burst! Could replenish 30% of their status.
He could manage to hold on.
Dai Mubai's Diamond Arm: Solid Left Arm Bone – Soul Bone Skill: Diamond Arm!
It could increase the hardness of his arms and palms.
He could take Shui Yue'er's second soul skill, Azure Wave, with his bare hands, like having a "local invulnerable body."
Meng Yiran's Flying Lian Silver Fox (Right Leg Bone) – Soul Bone Skill: Swiftness!
It could add the speed of a 6,000-year-old wind fox, which was like giving a tiger wings for her, a nimble-attack type.
Jing Ling, who was originally faster than her, was stuck to her like glue.
Using the clumsy Lingbo Weibu, he was barely able to avoid defeat.
Zhu Zhuqing's Demon冥 Transformation Torso Bone – Soul Bone Skill: Demon冥 Body!
This skill could transfer damage to her martial soul until exceeding its limit, after which both the martial soul and soul bone would enter a cooldown period.
The damage absorption limit was determined by the quality of the martial soul.
It just so happened that the Shadow Spirit Cat was of extremely high quality.
It rivaled the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Clear Sky Hammer.
At the same level, trying to break through it in a short amount of time was out of the question.
Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing's first strike with Shadow Step didn't need to worry about anyone "interfering". She could just attack without a second thought.
Under such enhancement.
In just a minute, four members of the second team, led by Shui Bing'er, were eliminated.
Finally, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had no choice but to unleash their martial soul fusion skill—Ice and Snow Falling!
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the falling snowflakes were as sharp as blades. They transformed into an ice and snow vortex, engulfing the entire first team.
"Form the formation!"
Tang San commanded.
Oscar and Dai Mubai descended from above, and Zhu Zhuqing also rushed back.
Their inner forces connected, forming the True Martial Seven Section Formation.
With the power of four, they fought against the ice and snow that filled the sky!
As for Meng Yiran...
She didn't know the True Martial Seven Section Formation.
——Tang Lan didn't say anything, so who would dare to teach?
She could only withdraw from the battlefield dejectedly.
Tang Lan landed beside her at the right moment.
"Sect Master, I..." Meng Yiran hesitated.
Tang Lan knew what she wanted to say.
He waved his hand, signaling her to be quiet.
Meng Yiran lowered her head in disappointment, no longer speaking.
On the field.
The light shield formed by the True Martial Seven Section Formation blocked the sharp, sky-filled snowflakes.
Shui Bing'er made a decisive decision.
The snowflakes swirling through the air reversed course, condensing into a seven-meter-long ice-blue phoenix.
Shui Bing'er stood atop the phoenix's head, gliding towards Zhu Zhuqing and the others.
But just then...
Zhu Zhuqing quietly withdrew from the True Martial Seven Section Formation, disappearing underground and reappearing behind Shui Bing'er.
"Third Soul Skill: Repulsion Ice Ring!"
A ring of repulsive ice energy expanded outwards, pushing Zhu Zhuqing away—the Demon冥 Transformation only mitigated damage, it was ineffective against repelling forces.
This delay...
The giant phoenix also slammed into it.
"Boom—"
White ice fog exploded, enveloping the vast training ground.
Meng Yiran was still paying close attention.
Tang Lan was already shaking his head.
"Shui Bing'er is too impatient."
The ice fog dissipated.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were lying weakly on the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor.
Standing with her Shadow Claws pointed at him, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was sharp.
Although Dai Mubai was also breathing heavily, he could still stand steadily.
Tang Lan stepped forward and waved his hand, interrupting the others' bows.
"The True Martial Seven Section Formation can be used for both offense and defense, but that's only in the context of a real enemy."
"Against an enemy that doesn't exist, the True Martial Seven Section Formation's only function is to link their internal energy."
"Your spirit fusion skill's first move is pure elemental damage, and their defense is consuming a lot of energy."
"Without the advantage of the soul bone's physical enhancement, they likely won't be able to withstand the consumption and will choose to break the True Martial Seven Section Formation."
"That's when it's time for you to use your second move."
Tang Lan's teachings were incisive.
This caused the Shui Bing'er sisters to nod repeatedly, their eyes sparkling as they gazed up at him.
Sect Master is so handsome.
Tang Lan found this amusing.
Shui Yue'er was one thing.
But Shui Bing'er, how could she be so love-struck?
The continent of love, truly deserved!
Sisters!
Besides.
He had something more important to announce today.
He surveyed the room.
Tang Lan called out, "Xiao San, Lao Zhao, Zhuqing, Xiao Ao, Mubai, Binger, Yue'er, Jing Ling."
"Besides these few, the others can go down to the academy to study. You don't need to come for training this week."
The four who weren't called, including Meng Yiran, looked a little awkward.
This is good news, but they aren't including them.
Although they were unwilling, the four didn't dare to say anything more, and obediently turned and left.
Huang Yuan hesitated for a moment before reporting, "Sect Master, the people you asked me to call have already settled in the academy. What do you think?"
Tang Lan nodded, waving his hand to signal him to leave.
Huang Yuan's eyes dimmed, and he left regretfully.
Looking at the remaining eight people, he pulled out a Life Soul Heart and grinned.
"Besides Xiao San and Zhuqing, the other six of you need to make a choice now."
"I can give you an opportunity right now, one that guarantees you can become a Title Douluo. Some of you with higher talent may even be able to become gods."
Everyone was shocked!
Guaranteed Title Douluo?
Become a god if you're talented?
Woah!
Dai Mubai immediately stepped forward...
"But!"
Tang Lan's voice shifted.
"The price for this opportunity is to be completely bound to me from now on, sharing both honor and disgrace, and facing life and death together."
"You have three minutes to consider."
"If you choose to give up, you can leave directly without any penalty, and our relationship will remain as it was before."
As soon as the words fell.
Jing Ling, who was a fast-attack type, immediately expressed his stance:
"Your will, Sect Master, is my pursuit!"
Tsk! This ice-cold man is quite a closet romantic.
Tang Lan walked forward and placed a Life Soul Heart into his heart.
Added to what had already disappeared without a sound...
