Spirit bone skill: Mad Hoof Trample!
By concentrating a large amount of soul power in the legs and then stomping down, it causes massive damage. If enough soul power is accumulated, this skill can completely break through its own limitations and reach the level of a century-year soul skill or even a powerful thousand-year level.
Tang San...
Forget it, having something is better than nothing.
Although this spirit bone seemed to have limited use, at least it gave him one more soul skill. This was a precious spirit bone—how could he be picky?
Although Tang San was arrogant at this time, he didn't dare say he could collect all six spirit bones on his body. After all, as Tang Hao said, many Title Douluo-level powerhouses didn't have spirit bones either.
Not far away, Tang Long and Tang Hu had just watched Tang San absorb the spirit bone with faces full of envy.
Next, Tang San gradually guided the turbulent soul power in his body into the spirit bone to temporarily calm it down.
With the new spirit bone sharing the pressure, the Eight Spider Lances, which had been supporting everything alone, suddenly felt much lighter, and the compressed soul power in Tang San's body was greatly reduced.
Soon, the abnormal purple-red color on Tang San's face greatly diminished.
Although his highly bulging temples still indicated that Tang San's body was still under tremendous pressure, at least it wasn't as severe as before.
As long as Tang San cultivated peacefully and gradually refined the power within his body, it would probably take only a year or two to fully return to normal, and his soul power would advance even further.
Now it was time to fulfill the bet.
After leaving the Star Dou Forest, the Clear Sky Sect group brought Tang San directly to the Clear Sky Sect.
They would complete the bet under the witness of all Clear Sky Sect members: Tang San would fight one against two against the Tang Long and Tang Hu brothers.
Tang Long and Tang Hu were currently the two most outstanding disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. They were much older than Tang San and had both broken through the level sixty threshold. Tang Hu even had a daughter.
If Tang San could defeat Tang Long and Tang Hu's combined forces at his current age, it would be enough to prove Tang San's incomparable talent!
In that case, there would be nothing wrong with giving the sect master position to Tang Hao.
After all, Tang Hao's son had such powerful talent. When Tang San grew up in the future, he would definitely lead the Clear Sky Sect to become even stronger.
Soon, the group returned to the Clear Sky Sect.
The bet began.
Members of the Clear Sky Sect came to observe.
All members clearly divided into two groups.
One group supported Tang Hao, accounting for about one-third, with Scorching Sun Douluo as their representative.
The other group included neutrals and those who supported Tang Xiao. At this time, because of Tang Xiao's position as sect master, they all stood behind Tang Xiao.
Because this was an internal bet, only Clear Sky Sect members were present today.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Meng Bei were clearly aware of this bet, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, they didn't come to cheer for Tang Hao.
This made Tang Hao's side seem rather weak.
Tang San lowered his eyes and walked out step by step onto the field.
On the other side, Tang Long and Tang Hu also walked out together.
Before the battle began, Tang Xiao seriously instructed Tang San, Tang Long, and Tang Hu:
"Xiao San, and Xiao Long and Xiao Hu, remember, regardless of who wins or loses, you are all people of our Clear Sky Sect. Whether my brother Hao or I become sect master, it's all for the prosperity and strength of our Clear Sky Sect. So you can be serious in this battle, but you absolutely cannot cause crippling injuries. Understand?"
Tang Long and Tang Hu looked at Tang Xiao and both agreed.
Tang San looked coldly at Tang Xiao and hummed faintly.
Due to Tang Hao's misleading, Tang San believed his mother's death was because the Clear Sky Sect refused to save her, so naturally Tang San had no good feelings toward Tang Xiao.
As Tang Xiao's adopted son, Tang Long usually respected Tang Xiao the most. Seeing Tang Xiao being treated with such contempt, he was instantly furious.
The Clear Sky Hammer was instantly summoned by him, six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—floating up and down.
"Take the hammer!"
Tang Long roared, launching the offensive first.
One of his purple soul rings lit up. The Clear Sky Hammer suddenly grew larger, lightning wrapped around it, attacking Tang San with tremendous speed.
The Clear Sky Hammer with lightning attributes was even faster, arriving in an instant.
Blue light flashed in Tang San's hand.
"Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Blue Silver Grass with ice thorns quickly entangled out, pressing against Tang Long's incoming Clear Sky Hammer.
Crack! The Blue Silver Grass with ice thorns shattered on impact.
The Clear Sky Hammer's momentum didn't decrease, continuing to strike at Tang San.
Seeing this, Tang San quickly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dodge.
At this time, Tang Hu also attacked.
Tang San dodged again.
"Gravity Pull!"
Tang Hu shouted.
Unlike Tang Long's thunder route, Tang Hu's Clear Sky Hammer developed the hammer's inherent weight route, and the soul skills used all focused on strength or gravity direction.
With this soul skill activated, Tang San immediately felt his body sink, and his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track steps became difficult.
Tang Long seized the opportunity. The Clear Sky Hammer's sixth soul ring instantly lit up, lightning flashing. With one hammer swing, the hammer head actually formed a beast shadow radiating lightning, striking extremely fast toward Tang San's chest.
Tang San couldn't avoid it at this moment. Gritting his teeth, he simply chose to meet it head-on.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass's fourth soul ring lit up. Countless Blue Silver Grass instantly formed a sharp leaf blade carrying cold air.
"Blue Silver Grass Fourth Soul Skill: Cold Leaf Slash!"
Tang San swung the leaf blade, directly slashing at Tang Long's Clear Sky Hammer.
But how could a leaf blade possibly resist the powerful and heavy Clear Sky Hammer?
Without exception, Tang San's leaf blade shattered upon contact with the Clear Sky Hammer, turning into leaves filling the sky.
The subsequent Clear Sky Hammer continued its momentum, smashing toward Tang San's chest.
At the critical moment, Tang Long remembered Tang Xiao's instructions and aimed the hammer head at Tang San's right chest, deviating from the heart's position.
And Tang San wasn't unprepared either. When Tang Long smashed down, he instantly activated the Eight Spider Lances, using eight spider lances to block in front of his chest.
With a boom, a full four spider lances shattered, and Tang San was directly sent flying.
Tang Long was overjoyed and was about to pursue, but suddenly felt his body's strength rapidly disappearing, with a chill spreading across his chest.
Tang Long looked down at his chest and saw several sharp leaf fragments stuck in his chest, freezing half of his left chest along with part of his ribs in a layer of frost.
It turned out Tang San had done it deliberately.
Tang Long instantly lost strength and knelt on the ground.
"Quick, save him!"
Medical personnel quickly carried Tang Long away.
Tang Hu on the side was furious and roared: "Despicable!"
Tang San struggled to get up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Taking Tang Long's strike head-on caused Tang San tremendous injuries.
The power of the Clear Sky Hammer far exceeded Tang San's imagination. Although the Eight Spider Lances had blocked it somewhat, Tang San's right chest still felt like several bones had broken. If Tang Long hadn't changed the attack direction of the hammer head, Tang San might not be able to get up right now.
However, the risk just now was worth it.
Although the method wasn't honorable, Tang San had exchanged Tang Long for a relatively small price. Now he only faced Tang Hu alone, and the pressure was suddenly much less.
At this time, Tang San sneered coldly with blood on his lips:
"Inferior skills—why blame me?"
Hearing this, Tang Hu was furious. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer, and the black fifth soul ring instantly lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Earth-Shattering Strike!"
