Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Tiandou City.

After acquiring the nine spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San's strength had reached the peak of level 97, and he was just one step away from breaking through to level 98.

For Soul Masters, after breaking through level 95, the accumulation of Soul Power alone is no longer sufficient to support further breakthroughs.

While accumulating soul power is important, the most crucial thing is to gain insights into one's martial soul. Only by deepening one's understanding of one's martial soul can one avoid encountering bottlenecks.

Of course, the situation is relatively simpler for Soul Masters with twin Martial Souls.

Ordinary Soul Masters only have one Martial Soul, and to break through, they must relentlessly pursue that one path. Tang San, however, can choose between the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer.

As long as one of the two martial souls achieves a breakthrough in comprehension, the user can successfully advance. After the breakthrough, comprehension will also increase accordingly, making it much easier to improve comprehension of the other martial soul.

Therefore, for Tang San, unless there is a stagnation in his understanding of both martial souls, breaking through to level 99 will be much smoother.

It's a pity that he didn't manage to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast this time. Originally, Tang Xiao and Sea Dragon Douluo planned to leave his ninth soul ring on the Clear Sky Hammer vacant, so that after his strength broke through level 98, he could try to absorb a soul ring and advance to level 99 in one go.

Furthermore, once Tang San's strength is sufficient, he will have the opportunity to go to the sea to hunt down sea spirit beasts of the 100,000-year level, ensuring that his Clear Sky Hammer spirit will have a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Unfortunately, Tang San did not accept their advice, but instead directly absorbed an 80,000-year spirit ring as the ninth spirit ring for the Clear Sky Hammer.

You must understand that he is no longer the naive young man he once was. As he has gained a deeper understanding of the assessment, he is now also aware of the situation after breaking through to the god level.

Gods don't rely on spirit rings to fight; the quality of a spirit ring only affects the foundation for a breakthrough. Therefore, even if it's not a 100,000-year spirit ring, its impact on Tang San would be minimal.

Furthermore, Tang San's ninth spirit ring of Blue Silver Grass has already reached the 100,000-year level. He already possesses a 100,000-year spirit ring, so naturally he doesn't need to pursue it further.

After all, one or two 100,000-year spirit rings don't have a significant impact on one's foundation. The real difference lies in comparing one to five or ten 100,000-year spirit rings.

The Sea God didn't increase the age of his spirit rings, making it unrealistic to pursue five 100,000-year spirit rings. Coupled with Tang San's eagerness to avenge his father, the sooner he broke through, the better, so he acquired all the spirit rings for the Clear Sky Hammer in one go.

Now, thanks to Tang Xiao's guidance, he has gained a deep understanding of the Clear Sky Hammer. Although he has not broken through to level 98, it is only because his soul power accumulation is insufficient.

Besides, he's young, and his comprehension is far superior to that of older people like Tang Xiao. Even if he had to rely entirely on his own understanding to overcome the ninety-ninth level barrier, it wouldn't be a problem for Tang San.

This time, he came to Tiandou City with Hailong Douluo in order to find the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Tang Xiao, needing to remain at the sect to oversee operations, could not stay away for long and had already returned. However, he would secretly provide Tang San with intelligence support.

For Tang San, he and Hailong Douluo were both at the peak of level 97 and 95 respectively. With such strength, they would basically not encounter any trouble in Tiandou City.

Dugu Bo is level 95, but his martial soul is a snake, which is naturally countered by high-level dragon martial souls. Even if he is not at sea, the strength of the Sea Dragon Douluo is somewhat reduced, and Dugu Bo may not be his match.

As for Bone Douluo, although his strength has reached level 96, he is a defensive-type Title Douluo. If they were to fight, Sea Dragon Douluo's strength would be enough to keep him at bay.

As for the swordsman Chen Xin
Tang San couldn't help but smile inwardly. Back then, Tang Chen, who hadn't even reached level ninety-nine, was able to severely injure and kill Chen Xin's grandfather with the Clear Sky Hammer, which was enough to show the power of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul itself and its restraining relationship with the Seven Kill Sword.

Even if the two sides were to fight to the death, Tang San was confident he could defeat Chen Xin. However, judging from recent news, it seems that Ning Fengzhi has encountered some changes.

In the past, Ning Fengzhi, at the peak of level 79, might have been able to assist Jian Dao Chenxin (level 96) and Gu Rong (level 95) in fighting simultaneously. However, the boost provided by being two major realms above him could not last long. If the battle became too intense, Ning Fengzhi's soul power might be drained within a minute.

The news that Ning Fengzhi had broken through the Soul Douluo barrier was a top secret in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and few people knew about it except for Sword Bone Douluo.

But as time goes on, some clues will inevitably emerge.

Ning Fengzhi can no longer be as carefree as before; he needs to break through to the peak Soul Douluo realm as soon as possible.

Therefore, he has rarely appeared in public recently.

"Tang San, I've heard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. The amplification of this Martial Soul is incredibly powerful, but God is fair, making it impossible for the owner of this Martial Soul to break through the shackles of level 79 for their entire life."

"Judging from your tone, has Ning Fengzhi truly broken through this barrier?"

Faced with the question from Sea Dragon Douluo, Tang San hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know either, but there are always some unsubstantiated rumors in the city. My uncle has only found out about the rumors, and as for whether they are true or false, we have no way of judging for the time being."

"However, Ning Fengzhi's daughter is about the same age as me, but her martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. According to the teacher, she will be able to easily break through the shackles of level 79 in the future, and even cultivate to the title of Douluo!"

Hailong Douluo's expression darkened slightly. "Since her martial soul can evolve, it's possible that Ning Fengzhi's martial soul has also evolved."

Leaving aside Ning Rongrong, who may break through to the Title Douluo level in the future, if Ning Fengzhi is truly a Soul Douluo, then he can easily assist Sword Bone Douluo in battle.

With a 90% increase, Jian Dao Chen Xin, at level 97, will be close to level 99. In a real fight, Tang San, without the Exploding Ring Secret Technique, might not be able to defeat him.

Therefore, their plans need to be changed.

Previously, they planned to force their way into the Heavenly Dou Royal Family's treasure vault after obtaining definite information about the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

It now appears that they need to add some details to the original plan.

A forced entry is certain. Given the relationship between the Haotian Sect and the Tiandou Royal Family, it is absolutely impossible for the latter to hand over the national treasure.

Therefore, it might be worthwhile to find a way to at least get Jian Daochenxin away. Even if Tang San faces Ning Fengzhi, who has reached the Soul Douluo level, as well as the amplified Dugu Bo and Gu Rong, he will still have a chance to escape unscathed.

As for whether a major war will break out between the two sides in the future?
Tang San didn't care at all. As long as he obtained the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, his future cultivation speed would definitely accelerate. After becoming the Sea God, with his strength, destroying the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be a trivial matter.

"Senior Hailong, you're a new face. Lower your aura to the Soul Douluo stage and try to contact the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Gathering Righteousness School to see if you can extract any information." (End of Chapter)
