With one move successfully immobilizing her opponent, Tang Yuehua lightly stepped forward, her figure shifting over ten meters, then unleashed a series of powerful attacks in rapid succession.
"Soul bone skill: Sea God's Thunder!"
With a light shout, Tang Yuehua's soul power surged around her body as she activated one of the two soul bone skills from her 100,000-year Purple Pattern Thunder Eel right leg bone: Sea God's Thunder.
Like a bolt from the blue, a purple divine lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, carrying terrifying destructive energy. It struck directly at the immobilized Hao Tian True Body that couldn't move an inch.
BOOM—
Accompanied by a violent explosion, in an instant, countless purple lights spread everywhere. The black Hao Tian True Body "bathed" in the purple lightning developed fine cracks across its surface, resembling a giant porcelain doll about to shatter.
"Soul bone skill: Furious Sea Demon Pincer!"
Tang Yuehua didn't have many other techniques—she just possessed numerous 100,000-year soul bone skills. At the precise moment the Sea God's Thunder struck, she activated another assault-type soul bone skill from her 100,000-year Furious Sea Demon Crab left arm bone.
Dark light blossomed from her left arm. As surging soul power flowed, a massive dark-colored crab pincer suddenly appeared behind Tang Yuehua. The giant pincer opened wide and shot out at lightning speed with tremendous force.
The dark giant pincer that seemed capable of shearing through space arrived in an instant, directly clamping onto the waist of Tang Bo's Hao Tian True Body.
CRACK—
Under the terrifying force, the already cracked Hao Tian True Body was directly cut in half at the waist by the dark giant pincer.
Immediately after, the massive Hao Tian True Body—now severed into two pieces—disintegrated inch by inch, dissolving into countless soul power fragments that scattered into the air. In its place appeared Second Elder Tang Bo, who had just broken free from the spiritual control but was now suffering from martial soul backlash. Blood spurted from his mouth—he was clearly seriously injured.
But being a Titled Douluo after all, even though his martial soul true body had been shattered and he suffered backlash, Tang Bo didn't fall unconscious immediately.
Three 100,000-year soul bone skills had shattered Tang Bo's martial soul true body. The outcome was already decided. Tang Yuehua didn't attack again. She placed her delicate hand before her abdomen and looked at Tang Bo with a smile in her beautiful eyes.
"Gulp—"
Watching his peerlessly elegant aunt on the battlefield, Tang San standing beside her swallowed hard.
Though his own strength wasn't great, Tang San could tell that the three soul bone skills his aunt had used in this battle—Sea God's Thunder, Dragon Soul Suppression, and Furious Sea Demon Pincer—were no less powerful than the 100,000-year soul bone skill Crystal Radiant Dragon Shrimp Strike she had used against the Seventh Elder. They were likely also 100,000-year soul bone skills.
Tang San, who possessed a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, knew that a 100,000-year soul bone carried two 100,000-year soul bone skills.
But Tang San could see that the four soul bone skills his aunt had successively activated—Crystal Radiant Dragon Shrimp Strike, Dragon Soul Suppression, Sea God's Thunder, and Furious Sea Demon Pincer—didn't come from just two 100,000-year soul bones, but from four different soul bones. There was no direct connection between them.
If these latter three soul bone skills were also 100,000-year soul bone skills, that meant his aunt possessed four 100,000-year soul bones?
Or possibly even more than four 100,000-year soul bones—she just hadn't used them all?
Good heavens, weren't 100,000-year soul bones universally recognized as supreme treasures in the soul master world? How did they seem to be becoming commonplace?
Suddenly, Tang San thought of an important point.
When his aunt activated the Crystal Radiant Dragon Shrimp Strike, Dragon Soul Suppression, and Furious Sea Demon Pincer soul bone skills, the golden dragon-headed shrimp shadow, blue divine dragon phantom, and dark pincer shadow that appeared all seemed related to sea spirit beasts.
And when activating the Sea God's Thunder soul bone skill, though no sea spirit beast phantom or part of one appeared, the name of the skill itself suggested that this soul bone likely also came from a sea spirit beast.
That's right—in the vast mainland with countless soul masters, the Great Star Dou Forest had been visited by powerful experts from the soul master world countless times over the years. Naturally, 100,000-year spirit beasts in the forest were extremely rare.
But the boundless sea was different. The sea soul master community was much smaller compared to land soul masters, and with the ocean being so vast, the number of 100,000-year sea spirit beasts within it must far exceed those on land. With sufficient strength, why worry about not finding 100,000-year sea spirit beasts or obtaining 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones?
'Perhaps... in the future I could go to the sea to hunt sea spirit beasts and obtain 100,000-year soul rings?'
Tang San couldn't help but think to himself.
As for the dangers of the sea and the fact that 100,000-year sea spirit beasts were even stronger than 100,000-year land spirit beasts?
No problem—Tang San had complete confidence in his Father.
Tang Hao: When the Hao Tian appears, who dares challenge its supremacy? Nine rings explode simultaneously, only I stand supreme!
"Ahem, Niece Yuehua, you win."
Looking at Tang Yuehua who seemed like the rising sun, the pale-faced Tang Bo couldn't help but speak with a tone full of desolation.
As a Titled Douluo who had cultivated for over eighty years, being defeated by a super waste who had risen overnight—even though the one who defeated him was his niece within five degrees of kinship—Tang Bo found it difficult to accept for the moment.
He was certain that last time Tang Yuehua returned to the sect, she was still just a nobody with Level 9 soul power.
Otherwise, if Tang Yuehua had already broken through her martial soul's limitations back then, how could he—who was second-in-command of the sect—have received absolutely no news about it?
One must understand, Tang Yuehua was famously known as the Hao Tian Sect's cultivation waste. If she could remove the label of "waste," who would willingly continue wearing it?
Tang Bo, already over eighty years old, could be said to be shrewd from age. His mind wasn't dull.
He understood that his niece Tang Yuehua breaking through her martial soul's limitations was most likely due to Chu Chengzhou's help.
And her soul power level skyrocketing from 9th level soul scholar to eighth-ring Soul Douluo in such a short time was also due to Chu Chengzhou.
Possessing so many 100,000-year soul bones naturally meant she also had corresponding 100,000-year soul rings.
100,000-year soul rings and soul bones contained immense energy. If Tang Yuehua had added 100,000-year soul rings, it wasn't impossible for her to soar from Level Soul Trainee to Soul Douluo in a short time.
After all, besides this method, Tang Bo truly couldn't think of any other means that could cause such a dramatic transformation in Tang Yuehua.
As for how a low-level soul master could add 100,000-year soul rings—
One must know that 100,000-year spirit beasts all possessed the power of sacrifice. As long as a 100,000-year spirit beast was willing to sacrifice itself, even a 10th level soul scholar could theoretically obtain a 100,000-year first soul ring safely and without side effects.
How did Chu Chengzhou accomplish this?
Tang Bo didn't know. But compared to this, Chu Chengzhou becoming a Titled Douluo with a four-black-five-red soul ring configuration at less than twenty years old was even more unbelievable.
An unprecedented freak~ being able to do what ordinary people couldn't was perhaps not surprising.
"Second Elder, you honor me!"
Tang Yuehua nodded slightly, then walked back to Chu Chengzhou's side.
'How was that, good brother? Did your sister lose face?'
Holding Chu Chengzhou's arm, Tang Yuehua asked through transmitted sound.
'Of course not. My Yuehua's peerless elegance crushes all who dare to challenge her!'
Gently pinching his wife's delicate jade hand, Chu Chengzhou praised her without reservation.
