Chapter 608: 475, Grandpa, weren't you going to tell us something? Why aren't you speaking 【First Update】_1
That day, he clearly saw that one of the "assailants" wielded the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon as his Martial Soul, which was extremely pure blooded, and whose cultivation level was above that of a Hyper Douluo.
Therefore, he believed the assailant came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, but when he directly confronted Liu Erlong at Shrek Academy, the answer he got was denial.
Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, there was only one Hyper Douluo, and that was the Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen. However, Yu Yuanzhen was of advanced age, whereas the voice Tang Hao heard that night clearly belonged to a young man.
There simply was no young Hyper Douluo within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Later on, while on his way to the Hao Tian Clan, Tang Hao inquired around and heard some rumors.
The young man causing a stir recently in Soul City was said to be capable of bestowing Martial Souls out of thin air.
Initially, Tang Hao did not believe this news, but when he thought about how a young man had seriously injured him with a single punch, and recalled the images "broadcast" across the entire continent that day, he began to believe it.
Surely this "broadcast" capability was not something the two Emperors or their subordinates could achieve, nor was it possible for the Martial Soul Hall, simply because it was a power never before demonstrated on the continent, a power that was terrifying to hear of.
Hence, on the way, Tang Hao even considered changing course to Soul City to investigate, but instead ran into barriers one after another.
First were the soldiers and Soul Masters of the Tiandou Empire establishing checkpoints. After barely bypassing the obstruction of Tiandou's forces by sneaking around, he encountered the checkpoints set up by the Martial Soul Hall, and the Soul Master forces deployed by the Martial Soul Hall were several times greater than Tiandou's, guarded with extreme stringency.
Tang Hao did not dare to force his way through; causing a commotion was never his plan, so with no choice left, he could only continue his journey to the Hao Tian Clan to discuss matters of the Soul Master competition.
It seems that before the advancement matches of the Soul Master competition, both empires and the Martial Soul Hall were deliberately preventing Soul Master forces from secretly approaching the young man inside Soul City.
Bi Bidong, Emperor Xueye, Dai Ben—what exactly was their game?
Were they aiming to monopolize whatever "benefits" the young man brought? Tang Hao couldn't help but think of the matter of bestowing Martial Souls.
To them, that young man was definitely of great benefit, possibly even indirectly allowing them to win the Soul Master competition, or rather, to seize the top three places!
Of course, the blocking of all roads leading to Soul City could also be at the command of that young man, and Bi Bidong and the others were simply complying.
On his way, Tang Hao gathered a lot of information, including which big shots came to Soul City, and he even heard the name of Sea God Island Grand Priest Poseissi.
That was the very Poseissi who was rumored to be on par with his grandfather, Tang Chen—the woman closest to being a god!
Was she also rushing over to join the hustle and bustle?
This made Tang Hao extremely curious about the situation inside Soul City, but unfortunately it had turned into a completely sealed-off "forbidden area," presumably only to be unveiled on the day when the advancement matches of the Soul Master competition started.
And that mysterious young man would only truly appear in everyone's view on the day when the advancement matches began.
…
"Hao brother? What exactly happened to you these days?"
Seeing Tang Hao in a daze, Tang Xiao supported his shoulder, asking with a puzzled expression.
Tang Hao took a deep breath, his expression grave, "Nothing much, big brother. I just feel that we absolutely cannot give up on this Soul Master competition, it might escalate into a contest capable of altering the situation on the continent."
That rumored gold-level reward... Tang Hao remembered that during the broadcast that day, upon hearing the words "gold-level," everyone in the image showed an expression of extreme excitement and longing.
Tang Xiao nodded, "I understand, your current plan is for us seven to participate as special invitees from Shrek, right?"
No sooner had these words fallen than the five elders sitting beside them straightened up, suddenly feeling quite pressured.
"That's right."
As they spoke, the ground suddenly trembled as if on the eve of an earthquake.
Tang Xiao's eyes fixed outside, "What's happening?!"
Soul City.
In Lin Yi's palm, silver and rainbow glows blossomed simultaneously, while in front of Tang Chen, a spatial gateway quickly appeared, leading to the Hao Tian Clan poised atop a ten-thousand-foot cliff.
There, clouds clustered densely, and strange rocks jutted out awkwardly.
At the moment, the gateway's surface was covered with a faint rainbow light, which served to hide the existence of the spatial gateway, facilitating the live streaming of the upcoming scene for everyone to watch and ensuring that Tang Chen's performance was not affected.
"The timer starts the moment you enter the Hao Tian Clan."
Lin Yi's words came from behind, and Tang Chen took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and stepped into the spatial gateway.
He stood in front of the sect, looked back, and saw the spatial gateway had already become invisible mid-air.
Damn, this challenge really gives one a stomachache... Tang Chen shook his head with a sigh and then entered the sect. The recent tremor had already drawn countless disciples who rushed out, quickly surrounding him completely.
Tang Xiao immediately stood up inside the council hall and said in a deep voice, "Let's go outside and take a look!"
The seven Titled Douluo quickly went outside and saw Tang Chen being completely encircled by the sect disciples. At that moment, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao both froze.
Simultaneously, the images inside the Hao Tian Clan were being transmitted in real time to Soul City.
A massive spatial gateway appeared floating in mid-air, with everyone looking up, silently watching. However, even if they spoke, their words wouldn't carry over to the other side, so there was nothing to worry about.
Before Tang Xiao and Tang Chen could speak, an older Elder cried out first, "God, oh my God! The Grand Sect Master! That's the Grand Sect Master!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao exchanged a glance, puzzled, "Grandfather?"
Tang Chen was straightforward; he was silent as he raised his hand, and a blood-colored Hao Tian Hammer was released from his palm, the pressure of an Ultimate Douluo causing everyone to feel a heaviness in their hearts instantly.
"Hao Tian Hammer, Ultimate Douluo, Grandfather, it really is Grandfather!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao exchanged a glance and immediately went up to greet him, hardly daring to believe that their grandfather was still alive!
However, Tang Hao quickly made the connection to Poseissi and eagerly asked, "Grandfather, did you come here from Soul City?!"
Tang Chen: "Yes."
Tang Xiao immediately understood what his brother was asking and showed a surprised and joyful smile. He promptly said to Tang Chen, "Please follow us first, Grandfather!"
The brothers quickly led Tang Chen into the council hall and sent away all the curious onlooking disciples, leaving behind only the five Elders.
Barely sitting down, Tang Hao couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Grandfather, have you come to tell us everything that happened in Soul City?!"
Tang Chen: "Yes."
At the moment Tang Chen confirmed with a "Yes," Thousand Waves began to laugh.
The atmosphere in the council hall fell silent for a full minute, with Tang Xiao and his brother exchanging looks filled with increasing confusion.
Grandfather, weren't you going to tell us? Why aren't you speaking yet?
