Douluo Continent: Rebuilding the Clear Sky Sect

Chapter 9 Interval

The Diamond Mammoth, with its immense power and strength, is a soul beast of the power type, making it the perfect match for the Clear Sky Hammer.

Although it was a young elephant that had not yet grown up, its cultivation level had reached six hundred years.

With a flash of dark light, a finely crafted Haotian Hammer appeared in Tang Fei's hand. He suddenly turned around and swung the Haotian Hammer, making a whooshing sound in the air.

Several peers were secretly astonished. The Clear Sky Hammer, which had not yet been imbued with spirit rings, could weigh nearly a hundred pounds after being cultivated to level ten. None of them could use it so easily. Was this kid really only six years old?

Before he knew it, Tang Fei had already swung the Haotian Hammer and smashed it onto the mammoth's skull, ending its suffering.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the spirit ring.

In the distance, the tiger's roar and the elephant's bellow had reached a fever pitch. The two soul beasts were fighting for territory, but they wouldn't fight to the death, as this would make it easy for a powerful third-party soul beast to take advantage of the situation.

If the baby elephant hadn't been severely injured and on the verge of death, the mammoth probably wouldn't have been so furious. It was only fighting this far to vent its anger, and it couldn't do anything to its opponent.

"We need to speed things up. The battle between those two soul beasts should be almost over. If that mammoth finds us, it will definitely come after us."

Tang Long urged.

He wasn't afraid of the mammoth; even if he couldn't defeat it, he was capable of protecting himself.

But what about all these fellow clansmen here?

The purpose of this trip is not to act arrogantly, and there is no need to create trouble for myself.

Time passed slowly, and Tang Fei finally absorbed the spirit ring.

With a yellow, century-old soul ring swirling around, it signifies that Tang Fei has truly entered the ranks of Soul Masters.

His Haotian Hammer grew slightly larger, its dark light intensified, and its weight increased instantly.

Both are hundred-year soul rings, but six hundred years and two or three hundred years are not even in the same league. This can be seen from the oppressive feeling emanating from the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang Fei's Clear Sky Hammer is obviously larger and heavier.

"It weighs at least 300 jin." That was Tang Fei's estimate. If his spirit ring hadn't also improved his physique, he might not have been able to lift the Clear Sky Hammer.

In the distance, the battle between the two soul beasts had completely subsided, and the soul beast forest instantly returned to silence.

"Get out of here! That mammoth will definitely follow the tracks here," Tang Long said urgently.

He ordered two Soul Master level disciples to lead the retreat, while he stayed behind to cover the rear. At the same time, he continuously scattered some Chinese herbal medicine powder along the route to conceal the presence of humans.

Soon after, the roar of an angry mammoth echoed through half the forest, and by then, everyone had already retreated a considerable distance.

"For the next few days, we must keep a low profile and not go any closer to the center. If that elephant comes looking for us, I won't be able to protect you."

As Tang Long said this, he mainly looked at Tang Tian and Tang Yu.

This place is a relatively low-level soul beast forest. The soul beasts on the edge are mostly ten years old, and very few are even a hundred years old. Not to mention the ultimate soul ring that the two of them hoped to encounter, which would require at least three hundred and fifty years.

Tang Long said this to give the two a reminder, not because he was deliberately targeting them.

Tang Tian frowned slightly and said, "Brother Tang Long, the closer a soul ring of the same level is to its limit, the greater the amplification effect of the soul skill. Can't you think of a way?"

Tang Yu nodded in agreement, both of them looking somewhat displeased, especially since Tang Fei had absorbed a six-hundred-year soul ring that exceeded the limit, which made them feel even more unbalanced.

Let's not talk about someone as abnormal as Tang Fei, finding someone who's four hundred years old would be fine too.

They even suspected that Tang Long was deliberately targeting them, since he belonged to the sect leader faction while they belonged to the elder faction.

"There is a way? It's not that there isn't."

Tang Long paused, looking at the renewed light in Tang Tian and Tang Yu's eyes, and said without any mercy, "The way is to take risks. Go deeper into the forest, and the chances will naturally be much greater. Of course, that mammoth is currently going berserk, so the chances of encountering it are not low. If a fight really breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you. You decide for yourselves."

With that, Tang Long handed the decision over to the two of them.

Tang Tian and Tang Yu exchanged a glance and gritted their teeth.

never mind!

Endure it!

It's just a first spirit ring, right? It's so close, but it's close.

However, next time, Tang Long must not be allowed to lead the team again.

Furthermore, upon returning, I must tell the elders about this matter and ask them to uphold justice for me.

After all, they are only six years old. They can't keep things to themselves, and they can't hide their feelings well.

Tang Long saw this and sighed. Let them do as they please. Things have come to this point, and he has a clear conscience.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to lead the team in hunting souls.

During this time, he even ventured alone into the depths of the forest and hunted down two three-hundred-year-old soul beasts, which were a perfect match for the Clear Sky Hammer. Even though they weren't soul rings that were close to the limit, they were still quite good.

However, Tang Tian and Tang Yu still showed some dissatisfaction, feeling that they had been cheated, and they stopped getting close to Tang Long.

After absorbing the spirit rings, they deliberately walked at the other end of the group, as if intentionally keeping their distance.

Tang Fei silently observed all of this.

He clicked his tongue in surprise. Had the internal strife within the Haotian Sect reached such a level?

The latest novel is first published here!

On the surface, it seems like this is just a competition over the age of the spirit rings, but what's the reality? The difference in the age of the spirit rings has created a rift between them, who believe it's a deliberate act by different factions.

If the Haotian Sect had no factions and lived in harmony, with the elders genuinely supporting the sect leader's decisions, would there still be factions? Would such things still happen?

"The Haotian Sect will never become truly powerful if it is not united," Tang Fei concluded, shaking his head.

Several days later, they returned to the Haotian Sect.

Upon returning to their respective residences, they all immediately went into seclusion to familiarize themselves with their soul skills and the changes to their bodies and martial souls after acquiring soul rings.

In Tang Fei's private courtyard.

With the Haotian Hammer swung, Tang Fei was cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Force.

He wielded the 300-pound Clear Sky Hammer with great force, and now that he has become a Soul Master, his strength has increased dramatically. In addition, with the continuous improvement of his Celestial Phenomenon Force, Tang Fei's strength has reached at least 500 pounds.

Hammer-shaped weapons are inherently powerful and heavy, requiring extraordinary brute force to unleash their full potential. The Celestial Phenomenon Force seems tailor-made for the Haotian Sect, and Tang Fei's progress is clearly visible.

"If a beginner trains like I do, they won't achieve anything in less than six months. They're constantly straining and healing their muscles. I'm so grateful for the ginseng ointment that I managed to get through the most difficult initial stage."

Tang Fei sighed inwardly.

The ginseng paste that Tang Xiao had given him earlier had long been used up. Fortunately, Tang Yuehua gave him another jar, but now a third of it has been used up.

Of course, the cost was worthwhile. The ginseng ointment directly eliminated the side effects of practicing the Heavenly Phenomenon Force, greatly shortening Tang Fei's practice time.

Even now, after only three months of practicing the Celestial Phenomenon Force, he has already successfully broken through the first level.

On this day, Tang Fei practiced the Celestial Phenomenon Force as usual. He discovered that this force had another wonderful use: it could assist in the cultivation of soul power.

When Tang Fei broke through, his soul power was level twelve. Now, a month has passed, and although he hasn't focused too much on improving his soul power, he has already reached level thirteen and a half.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. A gray-clad youth, a few years older than him, said, "The sect leader said that all those who have obtained their first spirit ring but have not yet enrolled in the academy should hurry to the castle to register."

"I understand," Tang Fei replied.

He quickly tidied himself up and headed towards the castle.
