The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

“Brother, I can’t report it. He’s like a demon. I used the Great Sumeru Hammer Ring-Exploding Technique, but it didn’t hurt him at all. And he’s just a Soul Saint, but his combat power has reached the level of a Super Douluo. Moreover, he can use two martial souls at the same time and has three 100,000-year soul rings.”

Tang Hao still felt a chill run down his spine and spoke with great fear when he recalled his battle with Duan Yufan.

"Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, I am unwilling to accept this!"

Tang Hao let out a final, hoarse scream, his mouth slowly closed, his eyes wide open, unable to close for a long time, his eyeballs already gray and white, dying with his eyes wide open.

"Brother Hao!" Tang Xiao burst into tears upon seeing this and clung to Tang Hao's already cold body.

The people behind him also bowed their heads in mourning for Tang Hao.

After a long while, the Second Elder of the Haotian Sect stepped forward to help Tang Hao open his eyelids, patted Tang Xiao on the back and said, "Sect Master, please accept my condolences."

"Brother Hao, I never imagined that our next meeting would be the end of our lives. I will do everything you asked, so please rest in peace."

"The Spirit Hall! They forced the Clear Sky Sect to retreat from the world and brutally murdered Brother Hao. One day, the Clear Sky Sect will settle all these blood feuds one by one."

Tang Xiao's veins bulged on his head, he clenched his fist, his fingernails digging deep into the palm of someone's hand, and his veins also bulged on his arm. He roared with fury, and the words "Spirit Hall" echoed throughout the entire Clear Sky Sect. His tragic and desolate voice reached the ears of the Clear Sky Sect.

After Tang Xiao finished shouting, he gradually calmed down. His two braids of hair were turning white, and his face looked haggard and much older.

Tang Xiao then covered Tang Hao's entire body with a white cloth. Several elders carried the body out of the room, with Tang Xiao leading the way, carving Tang Hao's memorial tablet on a long stone slab.

……

Arriving at the open space at the main gate, Tang Hao was gently placed down. Soon, all the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect gathered around. The younger generation knelt down before Tang Hao, even though some of them had never seen him before, they had heard of his reputation for killing the former Pope of the Spirit Hall.

After about an hour of mourning, dark clouds gathered over the Haotian Sect, and a light rain began to fall. Tang Xiao then ignited a fire and set Tang Hao ablaze.

The five elders then also set Tang Hao on fire.

"Brother Hao, go in peace. The entire Haotian Sect will see you off."

Tang Xiao knelt down and watched as flames engulfed Tang Hao's entire body, shouting loudly.

At Shrek Academy, Tang San, who was unconscious, was awakened by a strange, heart-wrenching pain.

The flames burned ever brighter, until slowly only a pile of pale ashes remained, along with five glittering soul bones.

Tang Xiao knelt down in front of the ashes, took out a box to collect Tang Hao's ashes, and also picked up five soul bones, storing them in his spatial soul tool.

Then Tang Xiao carried Tang Hao's urn to the ancestral hall of the Haotian Sect. Among the densely packed memorial tablets, there was one for Tang Chen.

Tang Xiao placed the memorial tablet in an empty spot, with the urn behind it. After doing all this, Tang Xiao quietly knelt on the jade prayer mat.

The five elders behind him also performed a kneeling ceremony and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Tang Xiao was left alone to continue kneeling, and a day and a night passed just like that.

Tang Xiao slowly stood up, walked out of the ancestral hall, and closed the door behind him in a chilly atmosphere.

"Everyone is there."

Tang Xiao calmly walked into the council hall, looked at the five elders and spoke, then sat down on the stone chair above the table.

Tang Xiao took out the five soul bones left by Tang Hao and placed them on the stone table in front of him.

“I know that some of you have some grievances about what my brother did before. Now that he has passed away, you have heard his words. There is also his son outside who inherited his and her martial souls, twin martial souls with innate full soul power.”

"Therefore, I have taken out five soul bones, two of which are the inherited soul bones of the Haotian Sect, and one is my brother's wife's soul bone, which I must give to Haodi's son. As for the remaining two soul bones, you can hold a competition among your descendants to give one to each of the first and second place winners, or even if you want them, you can decide the winner and fight for them. I have no objection."

"As for the inherited soul bone, it will be absorbed when the next sect leader inherits it. Therefore, I hope you will put aside past grievances and accept Brother Hao's son to return to the clan one day."

Tang Xiao slowly revealed his plan, while simultaneously putting away the inherited soul bone and a blue-gold, 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg soul bone.

"Sect Master is joking. How can we have the face to accept the soul bone left behind by Tang Hao? Apart from the inheritance soul bone, I think we should give it to Tang Hao's son as well. I wonder what the remaining elders think?"

"Enough, enough. The Third Elder is right. What wrong has the child done? We are all old folks. If we keep arguing, when and where will we be able to find the Spirit Hall?"

“That’s right. If I didn’t even have this much magnanimity, how could I have the face to serve as an elder of the Haotian Sect?”

"Yes, that's right. This is Tang Hao's only relic. Although soul bones are very rare and invaluable treasures, we can't bring ourselves to take away our own people's soul bones. Besides, our biggest enemy is the Spirit Hall, not our own people."

"Well, I have no objection either. Since the four elders have agreed, Sect Master, you can hand it over to Tang Hao's son as well. He is also our junior. Isn't it said that with twin martial souls, how can one possess a powerful physique and control the power of twin martial souls without absorbing soul bones?"

"Thank you for your understanding, elders. I have woken up again on behalf of Brother Hao and my nephew."

Tang Xiao's somewhat gloomy mood dissipated considerably, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Sect Master, you flatter us too much. This is what we should do," the Second Elder said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"In that case, I'll trouble the five elders to guard the Haotian Sect. I'm going out to find my nephew and complete the task that Brother Hao entrusted to me."

Tang Xiao stood up and politely bowed to the five elders.

"Yes, remember, it's not advisable to clash with the Spirit Hall right now. You heard Tang Hao's last words before he died." The Second Elder gave this special instruction, fearing that Tang Xiao might act rashly.

"I understand. It's not the right time yet. Rest assured, elders, I have a plan."

After Tang Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the council hall and left the Haotian Sect to complete the task Tang Hao had assigned him.

Meanwhile, Duan Yufan and his group finally obtained Zhu Zhuqing's third soul ring, a thousand-year-old purple soul ring, allowing her to break through to Soul Master level 33.

They then continued deeper into the Star Dou Forest to search for Xie Yue and Yan's sixth soul ring, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

However, when Duan Yufan and his companions arrived at the area where the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts lived, they sensed a powerful aura.

"A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, the Azure Bull Python, also jumped out."

Duan Yufan sneered. He had already anticipated the deaths of the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu, and the Azure Bull Python would surely sense it.

Chapter 116 The Azure Bull Python Appears

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest lies a vast lake, its calm, clear surface rippling slightly in the breeze.

The surroundings were quiet, with a unique scenery. Occasionally, one or two spirit beasts would come to the lake to drink water.

At this moment, a huge and long figure was swimming in the crystal-clear water, and bubbles were rising from the deeper parts of the lake.

Suddenly the water surface was broken, and huge waves rose in the lake, startling several soul beasts that were drinking water by the lake, who then hurriedly ran into the forest.

"Erming, Xiaowu."

A giant bull's head and a long snake's body sprang out of the lake, speaking in human language and shouting in one direction.

The soul beast slowly stood up, its body nearly twenty meters long, a dark blue-green snake. Its head, however, resembled a bull's head, with two blue-green horns and faint lightning in its huge pupils. This was another 100,000-year-old soul beast—the Azure Bull Python—that was the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu's companion.

"What happened? Why have Erming and Xiaowu's auras completely disappeared? Could it be...?"

The Azure Bull Python dared not think any further. This morning, the Titan Giant Ape said to it, "Big Brother, it seems that Sister Xiaowu has returned. I'm going to go and play with her."

The Azure Bull Python agreed with the Titan Giant Ape, "Yes, be careful, don't cause any big commotion."

"Okay, big brother, I'm going."

Upon hearing the Azure Bull Python's agreement, the Titan Giant Ape hurriedly ran towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest. Overjoyed, the Titan Giant Ape completely forgot the Azure Bull Python's instructions, causing earth-shaking noises along the way and crushing many trees.

The Azure Bull Python recalled the scene from that morning, but by noon it could no longer sense the presence of the Titan Ape and Xiao Wu.

The Azure Bull Python looked ahead, then turned to look behind it, a hint of human-like confusion appearing on its massive bull head.

"Never mind, I must find out what happened to Erming and Xiaowu, otherwise I won't be at peace."

In the end, Xiao Wu's friendship with the Titan Ape prevailed over her own, and her enormous body followed the trail left by the Titan Ape.

……

After Zhu Zhuqing absorbed her third spirit ring, Duan Yufan and the others continued their journey deeper into the world. However, perhaps due to the commotion caused by the Titan Giant Ape rushing along,

After searching for nearly two hours, they didn't find a single ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Of course, they did see one or two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but they were all very unsuitable for Xie Yue and Yan.

"Sigh! It's time to embark on another journey to find a soul beast," Yan complained.

"But what's going on? How can we not find any ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the largest forest on the continent? This shouldn't be the case," Xie Yue said strangely as he searched for soul beasts.

"Don't be impatient. It's probably because of the Titan Ape. The noise it made while running disturbed these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, so they've temporarily hidden themselves," Duan Yufan suggested.

"Why don't we find a relatively flat place and rest for the night? I think it's getting late, and we won't see any ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts today anyway," Hu Liena suggested, glancing at the sky.

"Xie Yue and Yan, do you want to continue searching? It's up to you." Duan Yufan turned to Xie Yue and Yan after hearing Hu Liena's words.

"That's the only way. Hopefully, after tonight, the hidden soul beasts will all appear tomorrow." Xie Yue agreed to Hu Liena's suggestion.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo did not walk with Duan Yufan and the others, but followed quietly from a distance. They let Duan Yufan and the others make all the decisions and did not interfere or say anything.

“Alright then, let’s look for spirit beasts and open spaces at the same time.” Duan Yufan and Hu Liena walked side by side, leading the way.

However, before the group had gone far, an extremely powerful aura emanated from the depths of the Star Dou Forest.

"There's movement. A very powerful soul beast aura is coming, similar to that of the Titan Giant Ape." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo instantly arrived to escort Duan Yufan and the others.

Duan Yufan naturally sensed it as well, and had already guessed that it might be the Azure Bull Python, a soul beast. After all, the Titan Giant Ape could sense Xiao Wu, who had just entered the Star Dou Forest, so there was no reason why the Azure Bull Python couldn't.

Everyone summoned their martial souls and soul rings. When Hu Liena's 100,000-year soul ring appeared, it temporarily overwhelmed the aura of Xie Yue and Yan.

"Human, Xiao Wu's aura."

A moment later, a blue bull-headed, snake-bodied soul beast appeared before Duan Yufan and the others. The bull's head was at least four meters in diameter, and the snake's body was more than one meter thick. It stared intently at Hu Liena, recognizing her from the aura emanating from her 100,000-year soul ring.

"What a huge bull's head."

"What a huge soul beast."

Xie Yue and Yan exclaimed in surprise. The Azure Bull Python in front of them was several times larger than the Titan Giant Ape. However, it was still a 100,000-year-old soul beast and its cultivation level was not much higher than that of the Titan Giant Ape. It could only be said that the soul beasts were different species.

"Everyone be careful, this is a 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python Soul Beast," Chrysanthemum Douluo introduced to the people behind him.

"Title Douluo, human, you deserve to die! How dare you kill Sister Xiao Wu to take her soul ring! And what about Er Ming?" The Azure Bull Python glared at the crowd, speaking in human language.

"Elders, please don't rush to make a move. Let Nana, Xie Yue, and Yan hone their skills. Zhu Zhuqing, please step back a bit; your strength is still a bit too low," Duan Yufan said calmly to the Azure Bull Python.

"Holy Son, you're not joking, this is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, equivalent to a Title Douluo level." Xie Yue exclaimed.

"Of course, I will assist you. This is a rare opportunity for you to hone your skills. Do you dare?" Duan Yufan said calmly.

"Come on! Martial Soul Possession!" Hu Liena and Yan said at the same time, somewhat provoked by Duan Yufan, and began to possess their Martial Souls without giving up.

"Very good! Seventh Soul Skill, Seraphic True Form, Seraphic Domain, Second Soul Skill, Third Soul Skill, Sixth Soul Skill."

Duan Yufan did his best to buff Hu Liena and the other two with the highest possible status, while also releasing the Seraph Domain.

"Fourth Soul Skill, powerful."
