Douluo Dalu System - Chapter 58
When Tang San, Ma Hongjin and Oscar realized where they were they were shocked, in just a few minutes they had traveled nearly a few days worth of journey for them. When Oscar and Ma Hongjin realized this they started to re-evaluate Tang San’s father, they were already Spirit Ancestor’s yet they weren’t able to even sense how fast they were going.
“Is this the power of a Titled Douluo??”
When they heard Tang San’s question towards his father they nearly shit their pants out!! This man was a Titled Douluo and not a low leveled on at that too, he was stronger than Dugu Bo who’s pressure they had faced half a year back, it wasn’t that they could sense his or Dugu Bo’s power levels, but a sort of instinctual feeling.
Tang Hao didn’t say anything and just went ahead seeing that, Tang San and the rest didn’t wait and followed right behind,
“Father, what are you doing here??”
“You already reached the Spirit King Rank didn’t you??”
Tang Hao asked Tang San in a deep voice, he felt that his voice was conveying a lot of emotions, pride, sadness, regret.
“I recently had a lucky encounter, due to which all the Seven Devils gained a boost in our cultivation, grandmaster advised us that after breaking through the next rank we should stop cultivating and focus on our foundations and combat power, he said since are young we shouldn’t worry about not training too much and lay a stronger foundation to advance even further”
“He is a great man, in terms of knowledge on spirit masters I may even fall short in front of him. I’ve already spoken to him and told him that for the next few days I will be the one to train you, though he may be the grandmaster, in terms of combat power and fighting techniques he can’t compare to what I know. I’ll also be training those friends of yours along with you due to grandmasters request”
“S-Sir,… are you a Titled Douluo??”
Oscar who couldn’t hold it back any longer spoke out what was in his and Ma Hongjin’s mind,
“Since you’re all Tang San’s friends you can call me uncle or Uncle Hao. My full name is Tang Hao, Titled Clear Sky”
When they heard the words Clear Sky they were shocked, though they both didn’t have any profound background and were lucky to have been born with a top-tier spirit and full innate spirit power they still knew of the three great clans in the Douluo Continent especially the top-ranked Clear Sky Clan.
This man in front of them had claimed to be a Titled Douluo with the name Clear Sky could only mean that his spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer. But they both had looked as if not believing what he said, because if he had the Clear Sky Hammer then he wouldn’t look as if he was a drunkard who just woke up from his sleep.
Seeing that Tang Hao released his Clear Sky Hammer and his Spirit Rings – Two Yellow, Two Purple, Four Black and the last one was a deep Red ring.
Nine Rings and a hammer spirit and the last ring was even a hundred thousand year spirit ring!!!
If they had any doubts about his identity before, now all of it had been wiped out completely. This man before them who was Tang San’s father was the Clear Sky Douluo.
After walking for a while they reached an open area where the end of a huge waterfall was present. Tang San knew that this would be the time where he would train with his Clear Sky Hammer, he had only practiced the hammering method his father had taught him for the past few years and had completely mastered it, but that was only the tip of the iceberg of the techniques from the Clear Sky School.
If he wanted to truly compensate his Blue Silver Grass attack power then the Clear Sky Hammer was the best choice, he had the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion too but in comparison to Clear Sky Hammer it was slightly below in pure attack, but if its ice was added then it would be equal to the Clear Sky Hammer.
“Father, I…”
“I know you have more than just two spirits, I’m not a Titled Douluo for nothing, though I’m not sure what that spirit is it should be a powerful spirit if it could co-exist with your Clear Sky Hammer and your Blue Silver Grass Spirit”
“It’s a beast type spirit, it has ice-based attack capabilities and to add spirit rings to that was a headache for me as I needed Ice or Water-type Spirit Beasts which would be compatible to it”
“An ice type beast spirit??”
Tang San took off his shirt and showed him his back while activating his spirit a jade green Phoenix Tattoo started to form on his back, it had its wings open while reaching over to his shoulder and its tail was formed straight onto his vertebra.
The nearby temperature dropped by a few degrees and his spirit rings floated up along with it – Black, Black, Black, Black
Four Ten thousand year spirit rings or so they were disguised as, seeing this Tang Hao was taken aback, he didn’t care about the spirit rings, those rings would be a common sight if one possessed twin spirits and used them properly, what actually surprised him was the spirit his son had, it looked like a phoenix made out of jade and was an ice elemental spirit.
By the feeling, it gave out it was surely a top-tier spirit equal to his clear sky hammer and blue silver emperor spirits.
“Truthfully I’ve never seen such a spirit, it must be from a spirit beast but I’ve never heard of any spirit beast which looks like that either”
“Teacher told me that it was a spirit which was a variation of one of the myths in the extreme north, the hundred thousand year spirit beasts in the north, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion but due to variation it should be the Ice Jade Empress Phoenix instead”
“I see… well, I’ve truly underestimated the knowledge your teacher possesses. It’s a pity he was only able to find a cure to his spirit so late in his life if not I’d dare say there would be many people who would call themselves geniuses in front of him”
Saying that he made a serious expression and looked at them and said,
“For the next six months I will be in charge of all three of your training, forget all thoughts of going back before you can complete my training, it doesn’t matter if you take six months or even an entire year or two to finish. I will only let you go when you satisfy my requirements for each of you, Tang San, I want you to master your Clear Sky Hammer and you’re still not allowed to add any spirit rings onto it, I’ll take you to a special place to get your fifth spirit ring after you finish the task.
Ma Hongjin, I want you to focus on your fire and range training, you’ve just awakened your spirit recently so you wouldn’t know how to use it in combat that proficiently. I want you to release your fire under my complete pressure and you should be able to maintain it for an incense stick of time to pass.
Oscar, I want you to produce food, don’t stop producing it until you’ve completely exhausted your spirit power, I will consider you to pass if you are able to produce seven concentrated sausages in the same time as you take to produce one at your current rank, since you’ve not gotten your spirit ring yet, I’ll help you hunt for one after you pass.
Tang San, your task will be to use this wooden hammer to complete the 81 hammer strikes under the waterfall and if it breaks before you can complete it, you will have to make a new one on your own and continue to train, remember you can’t unseal your cultivation no matter what, even when you’re not training”
Hearing their tasks, the blood on Ma Hongjin and Oscar’s face drain out making them pale, this was even worse than grandmaster’s training each of their tasks was not something that can be done easily it was not exaggerating to say that they were nearly impossible to do so. But they were equally excited, when else can they receive training from a Titled Douluo personally like this, it was almost a once in a lifetime opportunity and they were not going to waste it!!
