Boom—!
Thunder rolled above Tian Dou City.
Instantly...
The originally bright and sunny sky above Tian Dou City was covered by dark clouds that blotted out the sun and sky.
Within the dark clouds, flashes of lightning and thunder could be faintly seen, as if they were about to tear the entire sky apart.
A natural phenomenon!
Attracting all the powerful experts in Tian Dou City to look up at the sky.
"Sword Uncle!"
"What exactly is going on?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was grave.
Despite his rich experience, this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying phenomenon.
"I don't know!"
"Judging from the direction, it's the Breaking Clan. Presumably it should be that honored friend."
Chen Xin was naturally talking about Yao Lao!
Since Yao Lao suppressed the five Worships at the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, he had completely become famous.
Now the entire Douluo Continent knew that behind Yang Fan stood a soul old man who couldn't be ignored.
Not only that!
The soul master world was all spreading rumors that Yao Lao was very likely a Limit Douluo-level expert.
Because of Yao Lao's appearance, the various great families and sects on the Douluo Continent no longer dared to ignore the once low-key Breaking Clan. There were even people saying that with Yao Lao's power alone, he could make the Breaking Clan rank among the Upper Three Sects.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go take a look."
Ning Fengzhi, this favored person before Emperor Xue Ye, was not only concerned for Tian Dou City's safety, but also wanted to go broaden his horizons.
Yes!
Broaden his horizons!
Since learning that there was such a figure as Yao Lao on the Douluo Continent, he realized that his previous experience was severely lacking.
For example, his already evolved martial soul, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!
If not for the Beautiful Silk Tulip gifted by Yang Fan, he would have always believed that the legend of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was nothing more than self-comfort.
...
Breaking Clan.
After three days and three nights of closed-door cultivation, Yao Lao finally successfully refined the soul-repairing pill.
At this moment...
A pill with blue patterns floated within the room.
"Master... it's done!"
Although this pill wasn't refined by him, his excited mood at this moment was no less than Yao Lao's.
Done!
The pill to repair Yao Lao's soul was refined.
For this moment, Yang Fan had waited a full five years.
It was so fucking not easy!
"I'm saying..."
"Have you master and disciple finished crying yet?"
"We've caused such a big commotion. It's hard to avoid attracting the attention of other forces in Tian Dou City."
"Hurry up and eat it!"
During these three days, Yang Wudi, this Soul Douluo, had been acting as a bodyguard outside the room.
This was what he should do!
Yao Lao had burned himself for their Breaking Clan. What he did was just a drop in the bucket.
If not for needing to maintain his image as clan leader before his clansmen, he would have kowtowed to Yao Lao no matter what.
"Right!"
"Eat it."
Yao Lao had always warned Yang Fan that when refining pills, one must have a heart as still as water. But at this moment, his hands showed obvious trembling. Even when refining ninth-tier pills before, he had never experienced such violent heart palpitations.
This pill could not only strengthen his soul once again!
Similarly...
It also made him clearly see the hope of reconstructing his physical body.
"Master!"
"Will the pill lightning above our heads strike down?"
This was also the question Yang Wudi wanted to ask.
The pill lightning hanging above their heads was like a guillotine at their necks. Once it really fell, his head wasn't that hard.
"No!"
"The grade of this pill is roughly at the peak of sixth grade, not enough to trigger the pill lightning to fall."
With Yao Lao's words, Yang Fan and Yang Wudi finally felt more at ease.
The Breaking Clan had finally established themselves in Tian Dou City, and their butts weren't even warm yet.
If the pill lightning really came down, they wouldn't even have a place to cry.
While speaking...
Yao Lao had already used his Dou Qi to melt the pill into his soul.
Perhaps because Yao Lao's strength was sufficiently powerful, or perhaps because the pill directly acted on Yao Lao's soul.
The effect was immediate!
Whether by naked eye or soul detection, he could clearly feel that Yao Lao's soul had obviously strengthened.
"Master... how is it?"
Yang Fan was more excited than Yao Lao.
After all!
This pill was something their master and disciple had waited five years for.
"My soul has indeed been greatly strengthened."
"From the current view, it should be between the peak of Dou Huang and the critical point of Dou Zong. Relatively speaking, my strength is already above a Limit Douluo, but hasn't reached that so-called Level 100 godhood you mentioned."
Yao Lao had heard Yang Fan talk about Level 100 godhood before. This kid had even declared that when he became a god, he would take him to roam the great thousand worlds together.
"Demigod?"
Currently, it seemed Yao Lao should be at the very peak of the Douluo Continent's plane.
If he wanted to break through further, it wasn't just a matter of strengthening his soul. He also needed to break through the Douluo Continent plane's restrictions.
He guessed that Yao Lao being between the peak of Dou Huang and the critical point of Dou Zong was probably because of the plane's limitations.
"You could say it that way."
Above the peak, not yet a god!
That's pretty much the situation right now.
"..."
Yang Fan was still thinking...
Before his fall, Yao Lao was indeed powerful, but currently he had landed on the Douluo Continent.
Wanting to rely on the Douluo Continent's existing resources to break through the plane wasn't an easy matter. Moreover, for the subsequent reconstruction of his physical body, he would still need to find a body of at least Dou Zong level...
Wait!
Dou... Dou Zong?
If Yao Lao at peak Dou Huang was already a demigod, then does that mean...
He needed to kill a god?!
"Hahaha—"
Yang Fan was in disarray, his smile mixed with complex emotions.
But thinking carefully...
Yao Lao's demigod-level strength was already sufficient on the Douluo Continent. As for the matter of killing a god, he would need to carefully plan for it in the future.
After all, at his current level, he hadn't even dealt with his eighth ring yet. He was too far from contacting god-level experts.
"Stinky boy!"
"What kind of craziness are you acting here? You scared your grandfather."
Amidst the laughter!
Ning Fengzhi brought Chen Xin to the Breaking Clan, and Dugu Bo also came along.
With such a big commotion above the Breaking Clan, he, as the Breaking Clan's honorary elder, couldn't sit idly by.
"Clan Leader Yang, Elder Yao!"
"Did something happen?"
Although the sky had already cleared, anyone with eyes could see that the source of the phenomenon above Tian Dou City was the Breaking Clan.
At this moment…
The expressions of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin looking at Yao Lao simultaneously showed obvious surprise.
Yao Lao's soul...
They clearly detected that Yao Lao's soul was stronger than when he appeared at the Pope's Hall.
Terrifying!
Burning one's soul was originally a behavior with very serious internal consumption. Yet after that internal consumption, Yao Lao's soul had actually received an epic-level enhancement.
"Nothing happened!"
"We were just here researching pills that soul masters normally need."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly.
If it were really pills that ordinary soul masters needed, how could they trigger a natural phenomenon?
The Breaking Clan didn't say, but he had already guessed the clue.
Presumably, it definitely had something to do with the strengthening of Yao Lao's soul.
"Since nothing happened, then we can rest assured."
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School and the Breaking Clan are now allies. If anything happens, we can support each other in the future."
"Everyone!"
"Fengzhi still has matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave for now."
"Elder Yao, Fengzhi has something I hope to come visit and consult about another day. I hope Elder Yao can instruct me."
Ning Fengzhi was now grateful that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School had allied with the Breaking Clan.
Otherwise, wanting to get to know a figure like Yao Lao now really wouldn't be a simple matter.
"I will tell you everything I know!"
After leaving the Breaking Clan, Chen Xin couldn't help but ask: "Fengzhi, is it for Rongrong?"
"Sigh—"
Ning Fengzhi let out a fatherly sigh.
Besides his own daughter, who else in this world could make him worry so much.
They were both around fourteen or fifteen years old!
The gap between Ning Rongrong and Yang Fan was visible to the naked eye.
This father only hoped that within his lifetime, he could let his daughter evolve her martial soul into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda like him.
In his view, the only one who might have a chance to realize his wish was probably Yao Lao.
"Let's hope our little demoness can become more sensible in the future."
Previously, he and that old fellow Gu Rong had competed to dote on the sect's little princess.
At that time, they didn't think anything of it!
But now as they gradually aged, they gradually realized the severity of the situation.
Yang Fan was already running around for the sect, while their little princess was still living a carefree life of willful temper tantrums.
Ning Fengzhi had previously intended to matchmake Rongrong and Yang Fan, but that kid Yang Fan was clearly not very interested when he saw their family's Rongrong.
—
"Yao Chen!"
"We haven't seen each other for just a few days, and your strength has obviously improved quite a bit."
"This old man probably can't even poison you to death now."
Dugu Bo wasn't joking!
Yao Chen's current strength was a level that he, as a Titled Douluo, couldn't hope to match.
This was the first time he had seen such a strong person on the Douluo Continent.
This was a good thing!
The Breaking Clan was now famous on the Douluo Continent, and would definitely become Spirit Hall's target next.
With the Snow Swan Kiss, he wasn't afraid of a frontal confrontation with Spirit Hall at all.
At worst, they would perish together. Let's see whose people died more.
Previously, he had always worried that Spirit Hall would take advantage of the period when Yao Chen burned his soul to send Titled Douluo to carry out assassinations.
After all, infiltrating a few Super Douluo was still quite simple.
Now it was fine!
With Yao Chen's current strength plus his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison's large-area lethality.
Whoever comes, dies!
"You old fellow aren't bad either."
The moment Dugu Bo entered, Yao Lao discovered something.
"Hahaha—"
"I really can't hide from your old fellow's eyes."
Dugu Bo had leveled up!
He was now a Level 94 Titled Douluo, one step closer to Super Douluo.
Once he truly reached Super Douluo plus the extract of Snow Swan Kiss...
He dared say that on the Douluo Continent, besides a Limit Douluo, no one could withstand his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison.
The three old fellows chatted and laughed...
Yang Fan on the side fell into silence.
Yao Lao's soul being repaired once again resolved a major life event for their master and disciple.
From a remnant soul to a complete soul, it already met the basic conditions for reconstructing a physical body.
However, wanting to reconstruct a physical body wasn't that simple.
Three things were needed in total: seventh-order magical beast essence blood, the Flesh and Bone Fusion Pill, and the remains of a Dou Zong.
According to what Yao Lao said!
The Titan Giant Ape's level was basically equivalent to a sixth-order high-level magical beast, so to solve the seventh-order magical beast essence blood, they would need to set their sights on the ten great ferocious beasts in the spirit beast forest.
The materials needed to refine the Flesh and Bone Fusion Pill were ridiculously numerous!
He had previously glanced at the pill formula, with a total of seventy-seven medicinal ingredients.
Among them, the main materials were divided into four types: Dragon Blood Lingzhi, Bone Spirit Fruit, Profound Heaven Green Vine, and seventh-order or higher level magical beast essence blood...
Yang Fan didn't know whether these three things existed on the Douluo Continent, but according to what Yao Lao said, there were ways to substitute them.
If the first two things could still have a chance to be obtained on the Douluo Continent.
Then the remains of a Dou Zong...
And to refine this physical body, one must simultaneously possess three types of strange flames.
Yang Fan now knew what he should do.
Improve his strength!
If his strength didn't reach the required level, even if these three things were placed before him, he wouldn't have the ability to obtain them.
...
Tang San sat on a not-so-flat rock at the back mountain of the sect, looking at the ropeway leading down the mountain.
He regretted it!
Regretted coming to the Hao Tian Sect.
In comparison, he would rather follow his father to roam the Douluo Continent, even if the final result was dying at Spirit Hall's hands.
At today's sect meeting, the five elders of the Hao Tian Sect gave a unanimous answer regarding his stay or departure.
Let him get lost!
In the end, it was his eldest uncle, the sect master, who guaranteed with the sect master's name to let him temporarily stay at the Hao Tian Sect for one year to see his performance.
Although he had already stayed at the Hao Tian Sect, Tang San never felt from beginning to end that this place belonged to him.
Because everyone here didn't welcome him.
"What?"
"Have something on your mind?"
Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San's head that had been beaten into a pig's head, knowing that this suddenly appeared nephew wasn't having an easy time here.
But she couldn't say anything!
The sect agreeing to keep Tang San was already a guarantee made by her eldest brother with the sect master's name. If even such small matters needed her to step in, Tang San's living space in the sect would only be compressed even smaller in the future.
"You... don't take them seriously."
"Avoid them when you can!"
"If you can't avoid them, try to soften up."
Since he couldn't be a human in the sect, he might as well be a dog.
Living is important!
Hadn't the Hao Tian Sect's soul masters all come through these years this way?
"Aunt has something to ask you."
"Did your father ever mention me in front of you before?"
Tang San shook his head blankly, and a big character emerged from his swollen red eyes: Never!
If not for coming to the Hao Tian Sect this time, he wouldn't have known that he actually had an aunt.
"Alright!"
Tang Yuehua's expression suddenly dimmed.
Very disappointed!
"Aunt is leaving the sect today. You must be careful here by yourself."
"Remember!"
"Don't get into disputes with others again."
Before leaving, Tang Yuehua constantly reminded Tang San.
Be a dog!
Definitely be a dog!
Otherwise, with the current situation, it would be hard to survive in the sect.
The sect master was only responsible for keeping Tang San within the Hao Tian Sect. Small matters between sect disciples were always left for them to resolve themselves.
