Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 117 Stealing Tang San's Opportunity

Inside the Qibao Glazed Sect.

Gu Rong felt the soul power within his body breaking through to level ninety-seven, and the bone dragon martial soul's clearer control over spatial perception.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Haha, I actually ranked seventeenth! Not bad, not bad!"

Gu Rong smiled.

Although he said he was satisfied, he knew perfectly well what was going on in his heart.

He knew very well that he deserved this position.

One reason is that my strength has improved since I received the Sky Curtain reward last time.

On the other hand, it's probably because those monsters in front were too monstrous.

On the contrary, his "solid" defense and special spatial abilities stand out.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, holding the Seven Kill Sword, rarely showed a smile and said, "Congratulations, old bones. It seems that your tough bones are still quite favored by the Heavenly Curtain."

Ning Fengzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, a gratified smile appearing on his face: "It is truly an honor for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that Uncle Gu can be on the list!"

"With this ranking, our sect's position will be even more secure in the future."

He was thinking about it.

With Uncle Bone's increased strength, the sect's defensive foundation becomes even stronger.

They were both very clear-headed...

This ranking is already quite good.

Faced with the many worshippers of the Spirit Hall, and the unfathomable Beidou Academy, whose number of powerful figures is yet to be determined.

It is already quite an achievement for Bone Douluo to rank seventeenth.

Wuhun Hall, Worship Hall.

Qianjun Douluo and Guangling Douluo saw that Gu Rong was ranked seventeenth.

His face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

"That old man Gu Rong is just relying on his thick defenses and that little bit of spatial ability!"

"If we're talking about a direct confrontation, how could he possibly be a match for my Panlong Staff!" said Qianjun Douluo indignantly.

Guangling Douluo also snorted coldly: "If it weren't for his luck last time, when he received the Heavenly Curtain reward and his strength improved, and his spatial control became stronger."

"Given his previous strength, how could he possibly rank ahead of us?"

They were extremely resentful!

They believe that the ancient banyan tree benefited from its "special status" and "early rewards".

If relying on attack power and direct combat ability.

They are confident that they are no less capable than the ancient banyan tree, and may even be stronger.

Qian Daoliu saw their dissatisfaction but did not say anything to appease them.

He simply said, "The rankings have their own criteria; defense, spatial awareness, and support are all part of strength."

Instead of complaining, think about how to improve yourself. A true strong person is not limited to one thing.

His words sent a chill down the spines of Qianjun and Guangling.

Although still unconvinced, he could only suppress his anger and turn his gaze back to the sky.

They wanted to see just who were the people at the very front of the line!

Where does Bibi Dong rank?

All eyes on the continent followed the rising golden light.

They cast their votes for the soon-to-be-announced sixteenth place!
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Notting City.

In the hidden cave behind Holy Soul Village.

Tang Hao crashed heavily onto the cold ground like a tattered sack, kicking up a few specks of dust.

He didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Cough cough!"

He could only lean against the rock wall, panting heavily.

Each breath brought excruciating, tearing pain throughout my body, and brought out even more blood and foam.

He struggled to look inward at himself, and his heart sank to the bottom.

The meridians in the body are broken inch by inch.

The soul power within it dissipated and scattered wildly.

It is simply impossible to solidify.

The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which was originally as solid as a mountain, was now dull and lifeless.

The hammer was covered with fine cracks, as if it would shatter completely at the slightest touch.

What's most terrifying is that his very life force is like a flickering candle in the wind, swaying uncertainly.

It was shrouded in a deathly, gray atmosphere.

That was the result of the combined effects of the Demon King's soul power erosion and the backlash from the exploding ring.

His soul power level.

I've barely reached level 96 thanks to the Sky Curtain reward.

His cultivation level plummeted to the Soul Saint realm.

And it is slowly flowing away and falling.

The hidden injuries that had been building up for years erupted completely under this devastating impact, like a dam collapsing and a flood raging.

Tang Hao gasped for breath like a broken bellows, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

He could clearly feel his life slipping away rapidly.

I'm afraid they won't even last a day.

"Buzz!"

Just then, deep inside the cave...

The Blue Silver Emperor, with its deep blue body and soft glow, seemed to sense the impending death of its companion.

It began to shake violently. Countless blue-gold specks of light, like the gentlest raindrops.

It drifted out from the blades of grass.

It carries a powerful and pure life force.

It flowed continuously into Tang Hao's body.

This is Ah Yin's instinct.

It was her remaining consciousness that was desperately trying to save her lover.

Wherever the blue-gold light passed, Tang Hao's wounds began to heal slowly at a visible speed, and the intense pain was also relieved slightly.

But this is ultimately just a temporary solution, not a cure.

Ah Yin is currently only in her nascent form, possessing basic intelligence.

Her life energy was crucial to Tang Hao's near-collapsed origin and the damage to his martial soul.

It's like a drop in the ocean.

As Tang Hao felt the faint yet unwavering healing power within his body, a trace of tenderness and even deeper pain flashed in his cloudy eyes.

He stretched out his trembling hand, as if caressing Ah Yin's leaves in the void, his voice hoarse and low.

"Ah Yin, I'm sorry for making you worry again."

He can't die!

At least, I can't die now!
The mistress hasn't truly matured yet.

The revenge for the Haotian Sect has not yet been taken!
The Spirit Hall still stands...

He still has so many unfinished business!
A strong will to survive sustained Tang Hao, and a ruthless and resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

He struggled, using his last bit of strength, to crawl towards a very hidden earthen cave in the corner of the cave.

With trembling hands, he dug out a sealed box made of special jade.

The moment the box is opened.

A life force far more powerful and purer than that emanating from Ah Yin's true form instantly filled the entire cave!

Inside the box.

A crystal-clear soul bone, with a perfect leg shape and radiating blue-gold light, lay there quietly.

It is the right leg bone of a Blue Silver Emperor, which is at least 100,000 years old!

This soul bone is the most precious legacy left behind by Ah Yin when she sacrificed herself, and it is also Tang Hao's deepest pain and last thought.

He originally planned to give the soul bone to Xiao San when Xiao San reached the corresponding level.

Let him inherit his mother's strength.

But now... he can't wait any longer.

Looking at this soul bone, Tang Hao's eyes were filled with endless guilt and pain. He spoke to Ah Yin's true form, his voice choked with emotion.

"Ah Yin, I can't just collapse like this. Xiao San still needs me. I'm sorry..."

He knew that absorbing this soul bone might allow him to harness the immense life essence and energy it contained.

Forcibly stabilizing his collapsing body and martial spirit, and possibly even repairing some of his injuries.

But this is undoubtedly a "desecration" of his deceased wife.

She used the opportunity that should have belonged to her son on herself, a "useless person".

However, he had no choice.

"For the sake of the mistress, and for revenge, I must live!"

The last trace of hesitation in Tang Hao's eyes transformed into utter madness and unwavering determination.

He no longer hesitated.

He held the warm, smooth blue silver right leg bone in his hands.

Enduring the pain, he took out his original soul bone and, following the method of a soul master absorbing soul bones, attached it to his right leg!
"Buzz!"

The blue-gold light instantly engulfed Tang Hao completely!
The boundless life energy surged into his riddled body like a burst dam.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away...

Shrek Academy's new temporary location.

Tang San was gathered with Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun and others.

They shared their experiences and insights from this period of time.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Tang San's heart skipped a beat as he was speaking.

An indescribable sense of emptiness and loss came over me without warning.

It was as if some crucial opportunity was slipping away from him.

Or rather... it has been changed.

He instinctively clutched his chest, his brow furrowed.

"Xiaosan, what's wrong with you?"

The observant Dai Mubai immediately noticed his unusual behavior and asked with concern.

Tang San shook his head.

That feeling came quickly and went quickly.

He lowered his hand somewhat blankly: "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel... like I've lost something very important."

He couldn't describe the feeling in detail.

This can only be attributed to the pressure from the recent tensions.

"Maybe you're overthinking it, Third Brother."

Oscar patted him on the shoulder, "The most important thing for us now is to cultivate diligently, so that we can settle accounts with the Spirit Hall in the future!"

Mentioning the Spirit Hall.

Ma Hongjun was immediately filled with righteous indignation.

His fat face was full of anger: "That's right! The damned Spirit Hall stole my Phoenix Sunflower!"
