Chapter 667 Haotian's Ultimate Technique
"No!"
As soon as Tang San finished speaking, Tang Hao, who had just turned his back, suddenly turned around.
His face was solemn, his eyes were sharp, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Tang Hao, of course, did not approve of Tang San's idea of adding a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer.
He looked intently at Tang San, his voice deep, resonant, and stern:
"Do you want to hear what you're saying? Are you sure you were sober when you said that?"
As a powerful Title Douluo, Tang Hao could naturally see that Tang San's mental state was at its lowest point.
If he hadn't injected some soul power into Tang San's body on the way here, it's hard to say whether Tang San would still be able to stand properly right now.
For a Soul Master, Tang San's current state is extremely dangerous. Once his spirit breaks down, he will either go insane or become completely despondent.
Tang Hao didn't know whether Tang San had thought it through carefully or was just out of his mind when he said he wanted to add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer.
But knowing the dangers involved, he immediately voiced his opposition.
Even when Tang San suffers a setback, he loses confidence and begins to doubt his life, his own strength, and his martial soul, which makes him dissatisfied.
For a Soul Master, confidence is extremely important. If one lacks even the most basic confidence and stops believing in oneself, then one can forget about making any further progress.
That's why Tang Hao's tone unconsciously carried a hint of disappointment when he spoke.
Tang San looked at Tang Hao, his eyes reddening slightly. He knew that his condition was very bad.
After all, no one knows that Tang San has lived two lives. He is far more thoughtful than his peers, and it is precisely because of this that he is more prone to getting stuck on trivial matters.
Tang Hao's appearance somewhat alleviated Tang San's emotions, especially giving him a sense of security and support, making him feel like he had found a pillar of strength.
However, when he suggested adding a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao's immediate opposition, rebuttal, and questioning caused Tang San's eyes to dim slightly.
"But Father, without spirit rings, the power of the Clear Sky Hammer cannot be fully unleashed."
A bitter smile appeared on Tang San's face:
"As you saw before, without the support of soul power and attributes from the soul rings, even though I stacked the Chaotic Cloak Dance to its strongest attack, I still lost to Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy."
"Why do you think that you can defeat Shui Bing'er with just a 'Dance of the Chaotic Cloak'?"
Tang Hao looked at Tang San with a strange expression, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Don't you even know your own level? You think you can beat someone else's Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill with just a self-created soul skill?
What were you thinking?
I think you don't lack confidence, but rather you're overconfident.
"Huh? Why? Can't I?"
Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San immediately raised his head and looked at Tang Hao with a look of astonishment.
"No! Even if your Clear Sky Hammer is equipped with a spirit ring, it still won't work."
Meeting Tang San's gaze, Tang Hao gave an affirmative answer, then shook his head as he explained his analysis:
"First of all, he is older than you and started cultivating three or four years earlier. He is already a Soul King, while you are only a Soul Master."
"If I sense it correctly, Shui Bing'er's soul power level should be level 53, which is ten levels higher than yours."
"You should know what a ten-level difference in soul power means. It's a difference of a whole realm, which is definitely not something you can cross at your current level."
As Tang Hao spoke, he glanced down at Tang San.
Although the latter looked surprised, he still showed some dissatisfaction, indicating that Tang San did not quite agree with his statement.
that's the truth.
At this moment, Tang San scoffed at the idea. It was just a difference of ten soul power levels, a difference of one major realm. It wasn't like he couldn't win.
If it weren't for the rules of the Elite Soul Master Tournament restricting the use of hidden weapons, I would have killed not only Soul Kings, but even Soul Emperors.
However, he forgot that Tang Hao was referring to his Chaotic Cloak Dance, and his Soul Master abilities.
Tang Hao, unaware of the source of Tang San's defiant yet conflicted confidence, shook his head slightly and continued speaking:
"Secondly, Shui Bing'er's spirit ring configuration is no worse than yours. You have a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, and she has one too, and she has an extra ten-thousand-year fifth spirit ring."
"Perhaps if you start adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer now, you can surpass your opponent in the number of spirit rings, but it will be difficult to guarantee the quality."
"And most importantly, can your body withstand the energy conflict of twin martial souls? If it's not handled properly, your foundation will be destroyed. The worst outcome is that you will explode and die, your body and soul will perish."
At this point, Tang Hao looked at Tang San with a serious expression:
"Until the conflict between the twin martial souls is resolved, I strongly disagree with your decision to add a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer now."
Tang San opened his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't say anything to refute it, and his face turned bitter.
"Finally, let's talk about your Chaotic Cloak Dance."
Tang Hao did not stop talking because of Tang San's change in expression. He also intended to make Tang San realize his own strength, understand his shortcomings, and know the direction he should strive for in the future.
Looking at Tang San's ordinary and youthful face, Tang Hao composed himself slightly before speaking leisurely:
"Little San, I know that the Dance of the Chaotic Cloak is a soul skill you created by combining the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique with your own unique abilities. It is quite powerful, giving you the confidence to fight against all your peers."
"But this is ultimately just an illusion."
"I told you before that the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is just the most basic and weakest move in the Haotian Sect's ultimate techniques. It is very powerful, but its power is limited."
"Even if you improve it, its power is still very limited, which is why you are no match for Shui Bing'er."
At this point, Tang Hao paused slightly, his expression becoming serious and earnest:
"Faced with opponents like Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy and Huo Wu from Chihuo Academy, who possess a three-in-one martial soul fusion skill and a fusion ring secret technique, a mere Chaotic Cloak Dance is not enough to defeat them."
"Of course, it's not impossible to defeat them."
"As long as you can master the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian, you will have the opportunity to do so, not to mention our Haotian Sect's ultimate technique—the Exploding Ring Profound Technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up instantly, a glimmer of hope flashing across them. He was clearly very interested in the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring Technique that Tang Hao had mentioned.
This was the first time he had heard the specific names of the Haotian Sect's strongest techniques from Tang Hao. They were called "Great Sumeru Hammer" and "Exploding Ring Profound Technique".
Tang San was so excited that he couldn't contain himself and really wanted to learn it.
But seeing that Tang Hao only mentioned it briefly and didn't continue, the emotions that had just risen immediately plummeted again.
After a moment of silence, he gave a slightly bitter smile:
"But, Father, the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian are just too difficult to cultivate."
"I've been trying to figure it out for several days, but I still can't get the hang of it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to master in a short time."
"But time waits for no one. The Elite Soul Master Tournament has entered its final stage, and the qualifying rounds and the finals will be coming up soon. I must strengthen my strength as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to compete in the later matches."
However, Tang Hao didn't want to hear any of this, and instead coldly rebuked:
"Since you know that the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian are difficult to cultivate, you should put more time and energy into cultivating the Haotian Hammer, instead of hiding in your room and becoming decadent and withdrawn."
"We shouldn't focus our attention on the unrealistic idea of adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer."
"That's right. If you choose to add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer now, it will indeed allow your strength to rise to another level in a short period of time, making you stronger, even comparable to a spirit master of level 50 or 60."
"But have you thought about it?"
"If you start adding spirit rings at level 90, what quality will they be?"
"At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for you to obtain nine 100,000-year soul rings and apply them to yourself at the same time."
"So, what's the rush?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Tang Hao gently waving his hand.
Tang Hao stared intently into Tang San's eyes, then changed the subject with a serious expression:
"Furthermore, I'm not afraid to tell you that during the time you were depressed and withdrawn, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School sent Sword Douluo to train your Shrek Seven Devils team."
"With Sword Douluo training with you, your teammates are all steadily improving their strength, but you are still standing still."
As Tang Hao spoke, he looked at Tang San with an extremely stern gaze:
"You've wasted two whole days; it's time to get back to normal training."
"The Clear Sky Sect's unique skills are not something everyone can learn, and there are no shortcuts. Adding a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer will not accelerate your comprehension. Only through persistent and unremitting training can you have the opportunity to comprehend and master them."
"Starting today, as long as you have any energy left, train like crazy."
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San's bitterness deepened, and he inevitably felt ashamed and guilty.
While his teammates were all training hard to improve their strength, he was confused, withdrawn, and hesitant about whether or not to add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer. This was really wrong of him.
"Yes, Father."
Tang San lowered his head in shame and agreed. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and asked Tang Hao:
"Father, can you tell me if I can master the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and consistently stay ahead of my peers?"
Tang Hao frowned deeply:
"Is this even a question? You little brat, how dare you question the secret techniques of our Clear Sky Sect?"
"You need to know, the reason why the Clear Sky Sect has stood firm in the Douluo Continent, becoming the top of the three upper sects among the seven major sects, and even though it has declined slightly now, it still firmly holds this position. What is it that makes it so successful?"
"It relies on the world's number one weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, and the domineering and extremely powerful Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques."
"With the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit and the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques by my side, how can I not surpass Tongji University?"
After Tang Hao finished speaking, his eyes flashed red as he stared intently at Tang San, his tone clearly rebuking:
"And what happened to your original confidence?"
"You possess twin martial souls with innate full soul power, an unparalleled talent, a genius rarely seen even once in millions of years. With such powerful talent, what are you worried about?"
"Are you worried about not being as good as others?"
"Hehe, if that's the case, then I advise you to give up cultivation, go back to Holy Soul Village and become an ordinary blacksmith, and live out the rest of your life."
"Don't embarrass yourself here, and don't claim to be the son of Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo."
Seeing that Tang Hao seemed a little angry, Tang San quickly apologized:
"I'm sorry, Father. I didn't mean to question the Haotian Sect's secret techniques. As for my confidence, I will regain it."
His father's words made Tang San feel ashamed, but at the same time, they reminded him that he could not be as depressed and withdrawn as he had been the previous two days, and that he had to cheer up.
"That's more like it."
Tang Hao finally nodded in satisfaction, his anger subsiding slightly. He then softened his tone and offered Tang San a little encouragement:
"You are already considered strong among your peers. There is absolutely no need for you to lose confidence or doubt your abilities because of the gains or losses of one or two matches."
"Don't forget, you're not even fifteen years old yet, but you're already a Soul Master of level 40 or higher."
"In the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, apart from a few people like Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er whose soul power levels far exceed yours, almost no one else is your match."
"So don't be discouraged, and don't waste your time on meaningless thoughts. Focus on your cultivation, and take it one step at a time."
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at his father in surprise, his eyes filled with deep emotion, as if he could feel the weight of his father's love.
As far as I can remember, Tang Hao always beat and scolded me at the drop of a hat, never saying anything nice, let alone offering encouragement.
At this moment, Tang Hao's unexpected encouragement was an extremely precious moment for Tang San, who lacked fatherly love and affection. He was deeply moved and almost burst into tears.
Of course, with Tang San's intelligence, he understood what Tang Hao meant by encouraging him at this moment.
Through his words of encouragement, Tang Hao was telling him that he was no less capable than anyone else, he just lacked...
His previously bewildered heart began to burn with renewed passion, and Tang San's pupils finally began to refocus.
Seeing the change in Tang San's eyes, Tang Hao knew that Tang San had come to a lot of understanding after his prompting.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Tang San's shoulder twice heavily:
"Effort will not be in vain. Now, let's focus our time and energy on cultivating the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian."
"I can promise you that as long as you master all of Haotian's Nine Absolute Techniques, I will teach you the strongest ultimate moves among Haotian's techniques—the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Exploding Ring Mystery."
"Then you will know what true power is."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's breathing became rapid.
As a direct descendant of the Haotian Sect and one of its most outstanding experts, his father possessed the sect's most powerful and secret techniques, which naturally made him very envious.
