From Douluo Continent onwards, Glory is invincible.

Chapter 5 Divine Stroke Skill, Tang Yiran of the Haotian Sect

Tang Hao's eyes also turned somewhat shocked. He immediately removed the Clear Sky Hammer and found that where the Clear Sky Hammer had collided with the Shadow Battle Axe, there were traces of being cut. However, as Tang Hao injected a trace of soul power, the traces immediately disappeared.

Lin Fan noticed that there was a slight dent on the sharp edge of the Shadow Battle Axe, but it quickly disappeared.

The Dark Night Battle Axe's passive ability of 1,000 armor penetration and cutting, which cut the Clear Sky Hammer, actually caused him to suffer losses as well. Is this the number one weapon spirit in the world? Lin Fan couldn't help but admire it in his heart. The Clear Sky Hammer is indeed powerful.

Tang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Your martial soul is just as tough as my Clear Sky Hammer, and even its attack attributes are not far off. More importantly, your martial soul has a unique cutting ability, which can even leave marks on the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon martial soul in the world. Child, which family were you born into?"

Lin Fan said, "I was born in the Lin family of Jiuyang City in the Heaven Dou Empire. My family's martial soul is actually a common beast martial soul, the Blazing White Tiger."

The martial soul of Lin Fan's family is indeed a white tiger, the Blazing White Tiger. Although it sounds powerful, it is actually much weaker than the Evil Eye White Tiger of Dai Mubai's family, let alone compared to a super beast martial soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus.

"The Fiery White Tiger?"

Tang Hao thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of it. It is indeed a very common beast spirit. So, you have twin spirits?"

"Well, I guess so. I never usually expose myself, but this time, I had no choice."

That was all Lin Fan could say; he couldn't very well say that the Shadow Battle Axe was inherited from the system.

"Twin Martial Souls, you are the third person in hundreds of years to possess twin Martial Souls."

Tang Hao sighed, then put away the Clear Sky Hammer and asked Lin Fan, "You've offended the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and you can no longer stay there. Would you be willing to join the Clear Sky Sect?"

"The Clear Sky Sect?" Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "But I didn't inherit the Clear Sky Hammer, and besides, I don't really want to leave my family."

Tang Hao thought for a moment and said, "That is a bit of a pity. However, no matter how talented a Soul Master is, they should not forget where they were born. But you can join my Clear Sky Sect as a disciple. That way, you will still be a member of your family and a disciple of my Clear Sky Sect. With the protection of my sect, even if the Spirit Hall wants to touch you, it won't be so easy. In today's world, the imperial power is being undermined and conflicts are rampant. If you don't join a powerful sect, it will be difficult for you to survive."

"Alright... Thank you, senior. I am willing to become a disciple of the Haotian Sect."

Lin Fan immediately bowed deeply to Tang Hao, after all, Tang Hao had saved his life; otherwise, facing a Title Douluo with the Angelic Martial Soul Qian Xunji, he would surely have died here today.

More importantly, in today's chaotic world of Soul Masters, Lin Fan was naturally eager to find such a strong safe haven.

The Douluo Continent of more than a decade ago was indeed in chaos. Lin Fan only realized this after reviewing his memories. Within the two empires of today, various forces were constantly vying for power.

The Heaven Dou Empire's imperial power has fallen into disuse, and the Star Luo Empire is still in the stage where various families are vying for imperial power. In the original work, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School once said that when he was young, the soul master world on the continent was in chaos, and battles broke out in various places.

Now, we are living in the chaotic era described in the original work.

In Nine Suns City alone, where Lin Fan's family resides, three major families are engaged in fierce infighting, and the deaths and injuries of several Soul Masters are commonplace. Without the constraints imposed by the Spirit Hall in recent years, the situation would be even more terrifying.

There's no such thing as the "Three Upper Sects and Four Lower Sects" yet; that only came into being after the two great empires stabilized. Currently, the only universally recognized powerful forces in the Heaven Dou Empire are the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Snow Clan, which is the Heaven Dou royal family's family.

These major powers all have titled Douluo in charge. Unfortunately, the Snow Family is currently embroiled in internal strife, and two other families outside are vying for imperial power. The empire does not yet have a true ruler, which has led to many other forces besides these four major powers competing for territory and resources. At this time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not yet entered the first tier.

It can be said that we are now in a chaotic world. Compared to the peaceful and harmonious Tian Dou City when Tang San and Xiao Wu were in school, the Tian Dou Empire is now in much greater danger.

"Alright, get up, child."

Tang Hao pulled Lin Fan up with one hand, and the usually domineering Tang Hao was unusually natural.

Tang Hao said, "I, Tang Hao, have always loved freedom and have never taken on any disciples. However, you have talent, so I can make an exception and consider you half a teacher. But you should come back to the sect with me first. After you have cultivated in the sect for a while, you can go back to your family. During this time, I will negotiate with the Spirit Hall to make sure they will not harm you again."

"Okay, thank you, teacher." After thanking him again, Lin Fan was led back to the Haotian Sect by Tang Hao.

The location of the Haotian Sect is also a place of extremely beautiful scenery, covering a vast area with many courtyards and grand halls. It's similar to the location of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the anime.

The current Haotian Sect has not yet retired; it still has many disciples. As soon as Tang Hao returned, many disciples bowed to him.

After making a rough guess, Lin Fan knew that the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect should be Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's father, but he had forgotten his name. Tang Hao's grandfather, Limit Douluo Tang Chen, had already disappeared.

Tang Hao took Lin Fan without going to see the sect leader. Instead, he settled him in a palace where sect disciples cultivated. He instructed a woman, "His name is Lin Fan. I brought him back from outside. He is allowed to join my Haotian Sect as a disciple. You will be responsible for teaching him for the next period of time. He has twin martial souls."

"What? Twin Martial Souls?" Upon hearing this, the woman in red was also shocked.

After all, twin martial souls aren't like radishes, which are everywhere.

In the past few centuries, only two people have possessed twin martial souls. The first died from self-destruction due to incompatibility between the two martial souls and their spirit rings. The second was Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. And this third one is actually a seemingly ordinary boy.

Tang Hao said, "Remember, don't let outsiders know about this. Just secretly train his second martial soul."

The woman in red said smugly, "Don't worry, Brother Tang Hao."

Tang Hao looked at Lin Fan and said, "Alright, you can stay here for now. Don't leave the sect during this time. This is Instructor Yiran. She will teach you during this period. You can leave when she tells you that you can leave Haotian Sect."

Lin Fan quickly replied, "I understand, thank you, teacher."

Tang Hao nodded and left. At this moment, Lin Fan also heard the system Ling'er's voice in his mind, "Master, 24 hours have passed, and the Counter-Stab Armor has been retrieved by the system. Master, would you like to start the next lottery draw?"

The Thornmail is gone?

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, hoping he could get permanent equipment or skills this time. So, Lin Fan thought to himself, "Draw a lottery."

"Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have acquired the skill Divine Stroke (Enhanced Version). Duration: Permanent."

Holy crap, that's a stroke of genius! Li Bai's second skill?

The description of the skill immediately came to mind.

Skill: Divine Stroke (Enhanced Version)

From Honor of Kings, once cast, it releases a Azure Lotus Sword Formation centered on the caster, dealing massive damage to those within range and inflicting a paralysis effect. While paralyzed, the caster cannot move or use skills.

Anyone who touches the sword circle will suffer two instances of damage, and will also suffer a piercing effect, reducing the opponent's defense by 600 points for eight seconds.

Cooldown: 5 minutes. Using this skill consumes Soul Power.

During the skill's activation, the user enters an invisible and untargetable state for three seconds, during which they will not take any damage.

This skill can be upgraded, becoming even more powerful after upgrading.

"How do I advance this skill, Ling'er?" Lin Fan couldn't help but ask in his mind.

The system manager, Ling'er, replied, "The method for skill advancement is to kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and absorb its soul ring. Afterward, the skill can be attached to the soul ring. The stronger and older the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the more powerful the advanced skill will be. Soul beasts under ten thousand years old cannot be attached. Any skill can be advanced three times, and a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring once. A second advancement requires a soul ring over one hundred thousand years old, and a third advancement requires a soul ring over one million years old. Skills before advancement can be used regardless of the martial soul and soul ring."

"I see……"

As Lin Fan was pondering, the woman in red, Tang Yiran, suddenly patted his head and said, "What are you thinking about, kid? Don't you want to talk to me?"

Lin Fan then realized what was happening and quickly said, "No, Teacher Yiran. Please take good care of me in the future."

"That's more like it." Tang Yiran smiled and then stretched out her slender hand, revealing a black hammer in her hand, with six spirit rings of various colors flashing around her.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tang Yiran, I am 27 years old, and I am a level 63 Soul Emperor."

"A level 63 Soul Emperor?" Lin Fan was shocked. Reaching the Soul Emperor level at the age of 27 was definitely a rare genius on the continent. Her martial soul was also the Clear Sky Hammer.

A Soul Emperor wielding the Clear Sky Hammer can easily defeat a Soul Saint of level 70 or so, and might even be able to defeat two.

The Clear Sky Hammer can be considered the nemesis of all offensive martial souls. The Clear Sky Hammer has the strongest attack power in Douluo Continent. According to what Tang Hao just said, even the terrifying Shadow Battle Axe in Lin Fan's hand is still somewhat inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer in terms of attack power.

However, Lin Fan's Shadow Battle Axe hasn't been upgraded yet; it should be close after that. The Shadow Battle Axe's cutting ability is also something the Clear Sky Hammer lacks.

Tang Yiran smiled and said, "How about it, kid? I'm qualified to teach you now, aren't I? I don't know what trouble you've gotten into outside, but don't worry, with our Haotian Sect protecting you, you don't need to be afraid. By the way, what's your martial soul? Let me see it."

"Okay, teacher..." Lin Fan activated his soul power, and a four-clawed white tiger appeared behind him, roaring.

"White Tiger Martial Soul?" Tang Yiran said thoughtfully. "Although it's a White Tiger Martial Soul, it doesn't look like a top-tier beast Martial Soul. Kid, let me see your second Martial Soul too."

"Okay, Teacher Yiran." Lin Fan opened his right hand, and instantly, a black and sharp axe condensed in his palm.

"This is my second martial soul, which can be considered a mutated martial soul. It has never appeared before, and I call it the Shadow Battle Axe."

"Shadow Battle Axe?" Tang Yiran's relaxed expression suddenly vanished. She walked up to Lin Fan, looked at the Shadow Battle Axe martial soul in his hand, and then released a wisp of soul power, causing the Shadow Battle Axe to tremble slightly.

"Your martial spirit, even in terms of attack power, is second only to our Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer. It's hard to believe that such a martial spirit could be a mutation. Child, has your family truly never produced a martial spirit like this before?"

Tang Yiran asked, a hint of shock in her eyes.

This book features multiple female protagonists, with Bibi Dong as the harem leader. The early part of the story focuses on the romance between Bibi Dong and the female protagonist, while later on, Ah Yin appears.

Qian Renxue is a daughter, and Tang San Niang transformed into Tang Yin.
