In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 485 He's still just a child

Victory against Elephant Armor Academy. Against Canghui Academy, thanks to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's information network, they knew early on that Canghui Academy's participating students' martial souls specialized in illusion attacks, allowing them to win with a fast attack. For several consecutive days, the Heavenly Dou Royal Second Team achieved another winning streak.

A day later, Canghui Academy defeated Sad Academy by successfully executing the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique.

After watching the match, Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought.

Two days later, in the afternoon, the final match will be between Tiandou Royal Academy and Tianshui Academy.

Tang San entered the fray and immediately used his first soul skill to harass the enemy, but Shui Bing'er blocked it with her second soul skill, Ice Ring Armor. He was then restrained by Shui Bing'er's first soul skill, Ice Seal. Without the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, his resistance was zero, and he and his teammates were instantly turned into ice sculptures. Ma Hongjun, flying in the air, used fire to dissolve the ice, but due to insufficient firepower, progress was slow. The Tianshui team successfully stalled until their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was complete.

Then, Tang San used his third soul skill to create a cage. It was completely unstoppable; he was swept away by the swirling ice and snow, not even lasting until the Ice Phoenix appeared.

"Without the Ice and Fire Body Tempering and resistance boost, it's really no good." Zhu Wu exclaimed in astonishment.

Looking at their own disciple Huo Wu, a huge fire instantly melted away the ice and snow, and Tianshui Academy didn't even have a chance to release their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"The Chrysanthemum Martial Soul is indeed a useless martial soul!" After the competition, Tang San returned to the hotel and fell into deep self-doubt.

But because the competition was still ongoing, it wasn't shown.

Two days later, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy faced off against Thunder Academy. Thanks to the outstanding performances of the three Soul Masters, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Shi Mo, they won the match with injuries but without any major incidents.

As for Tang San, because his poison attribute was countered by lightning, his performance was mediocre, and he was completely carried by the enemy.

After the match, I felt even worse and felt no joy at winning.

A few days later, in the final preliminary match against Shenfeng Academy, Tang San was completely outmatched due to the lack of aerial advantage. In this match, Tang San's performance was once again mediocre: his poison needles missed, his poison mist was blown away, and his cage was chopped down like firewood by the more powerful Feng Xiaotian.

"Chrysanthemum is not a good martial soul at all; it's really useless." This time, Tang San's frustration was written all over his face.

"Don't be discouraged, Xiao San. Feng Xiaotian is a Soul Sect master after all, and his cultivation is a whole realm higher than yours," Yu Tianheng comforted her.

Tang San nodded slightly, without saying a word.

"Sigh." Yu Xiaogang watched this unfold and sighed inwardly. However, he didn't intend to offer any words of comfort.

Everyone has different inner barriers. In his view, only by figuring things out can one truly become a powerful figure. And he believes in his disciples!

The qualifiers have ended, and the team has successfully qualified for the finals. They now have a month to rest, which should be enough.

"Teacher, I want to go into seclusion for a while." Upon returning to the academy, Tang San immediately applied to Yu Xiaogang.

"Okay." Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement and instructed the other team members not to disturb them and to continue the intensive training as planned.

For a moment, the team was filled with groans of despair.

Then, Tang San went to a forest-mimicking training ground and secluded himself to think.

He sat there blankly, having not cultivated for two consecutive days. His mind was a mess. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, nor did he know what to do next. He even doubted whether he had made a mistake by following the offensive path of his Chrysanthemum Martial Soul.

However, even without a strong offensive, a plant is still a plant, just an ordinary chrysanthemum, an inherently timid chrysanthemum.

In terms of attack power, it is inferior to weapon spirits like swords and knives; in terms of strength, it is inferior to beast spirits like dragons and tigers; and in terms of defense, it can easily smash a roadside chrysanthemum with any stick.

Regardless of the attribute, the chrysanthemum is an extremely low-grade martial soul, and it also has natural defects.

For example, it's afraid of fire, so it was completely ineffective against Huo Wu in the previous battle.

He knew very well that the inherent deficiencies of his martial soul would become increasingly apparent as his cultivation level increased.

"No, this can't be! This isn't what I want. Chrysanthemum is simply not a good martial soul. While I'm still young, it might not be too late to give up!"

Tang San grabbed his head with both hands and shook it in great pain, then remembered his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

He had already guessed his origins from his previous conversation with Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan.

Furthermore, this has been confirmed through conversations with instructors, students, and audience members from various participating academies in the Soul Master Competition over the past few days.

He is the son of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao, and his mother is the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, Golden Chrysanthemum Queen.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast is such a powerful being. Logically speaking, it should be extremely powerful when it becomes a martial soul. Why is what he inherited so weak?

Perhaps the Golden Chrysanthemum King wasn't a plant-type spirit beast that excelled in combat, since its essence was a chrysanthemum.

Therefore, if I want to be stronger in combat, I should have started training the Haotian Hammer from the beginning.

Only in this way can I kill Qian Xunji, destroy the Spirit Hall, avenge my mother, and bring an end to this life of hardship! The Clear Sky Sect, once the number one sect in the world, such a powerful sect. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall, I would definitely have received excellent training.

With his current cultivation level, how could he possibly stop at level 37?

He has definitely reached the Soul Master level, possessing a fourth Soul Ring of ten thousand years. In addition, with the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, dealing with Huo Wu, who is at the Soul King level, might still be a bit difficult, but dealing with the likes of Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er would be a piece of cake.

"It's all the Spirit Hall's fault!" Thinking of this, his eyes turned icy cold, and his face became somewhat ferocious.

"So, should we repair the Clear Sky Hammer now?" He subconsciously reached out and summoned the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.

Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned and finally chose to show himself.

"Dad!" Upon seeing Tang Hao, Tang San immediately stood up, his eyes red and filled with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Two lifetimes, and this is it!?" Zhu Wu curled his lip, feeling like he was watching a melodramatic romance drama.

"You've disappointed me greatly!" Tang Hao frowned, his tone cold.

"Dad, I..." Tang San felt even more aggrieved, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.

"Wow, good mother." Even Zhu Wu, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, got goosebumps all over.

He's still just a child. Tang Hao sighed inwardly upon seeing this, and then began to offer words of comfort.

Cultivating the Chrysanthemum Martial Soul first is a prelude to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer. By cultivating the first Martial Soul to the Title Douluo level first, and then cultivating the second Martial Soul, one can absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring with the first Soul Ring, and possess the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which is the most powerful in the sect's history.

Tang San believed it.

With eighteen spirit rings strengthening his physical body, plus nine spirit rings all being ten-thousand-year-level Clear Sky Hammer martial spirits, how powerful must he be!

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, you all just wait and see.

No longer dwelling on it, she began to intensify her cultivation after Tang Hao left.

Meanwhile, within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang gathered together.
