Tang San revealed a smile, seemingly very satisfied with his gains this time.
"Although forcibly sensing their soul power circulation is not entirely authentic and complete, it has at least allowed me to further perfect my Xuan Tian Sect."
"Tang San, you're despicable, stealing the Academy's internal skills!" One of the bound Soul Emperors spoke up, rebuking him.
Tang San's gaze turned cold.
He hated it the most when others said he stole skills.
"You can come to kill me, and it's only natural for me to deal with you. As for stealing, what's the basis for that? Su Wen stole my Hao Tian Sect's Blast Ring Technique, and I'm just returning the favor."
As he spoke, the purple-black Blue Silver Grass suddenly tightened, and its thorns pierced into the opponent's body, releasing a burst of toxins.
In an instant, the Soul Emperor who had rebuked Tang San turned pale, and his flesh began to rot.
The others also glared at Tang San with anger.
"Since you have malice towards us, Shrek, and are doing things that could take our lives, you should prepare to be tortured when we catch you." Tang San didn't care about their anger and said calmly.
He used his soul power to forcibly enter the bodies of these Soul Masters, sensing the circulation of their soul power, and thus initially piecing together the internal skill route that Su Wen had announced in the Academy.
Although the information he obtained was fragmented, with the combination of so many Soul Masters, he basically got the complete internal skill.
However, he didn't cultivate the internal skill completely; instead, he used the internal skill route to perfect his Xuan Tian Gong.
"Teacher, my Xuan Tian Gong has been perfected, and its effects are even stronger than Su Wen's internal skill."
"Good!" Yu Xiao Gang was excited.
"Teacher, I'll give you the new Xuan Tian Gong circulation route later. According to the Academy's theory, initially integrating soul power circulation can have a significant impact on Soul Masters who are stuck at a certain bottleneck, making it possible for them to break through."
"Previously, Xuan Tian Gong was already very effective, but it was before it was perfected. Now that it's perfected, the possibility of breaking through will be even greater when you cultivate it."
"If you can break through the 30th level and obtain a suitable third soul ring, even if it takes a few years, we can seize the opportunity to obtain the Soul Ascension Technique. Teacher, you can then absorb the third soul ring ahead of time, and who knows, maybe you'll have a chance to break through the 40th level later."
Tang San's words excited Yu Xiao Gang.
He had no choice but to be excited.
Being stuck at the 29th level for his entire life, he finally had a chance to break through!
And Tang San's words about absorbing the soul ring ahead of time and breaking through the 40th level also made him eager.
Especially the idea of absorbing the third soul ring ahead of time, which would allow him to transform his martial soul and give him a chance to reach the 40th level.
As long as he could cultivate fast enough, maybe he could even reach the 40th level and absorb another soul ring ahead of time, and then, becoming a Soul King wouldn't be impossible!
Yu Xiao Gang was so excited that his entire body trembled.
Flender stepped forward and held Yu Xiao Gang's shoulder, helping him calm down.
"Xiao Gang, first cultivate Xuan Tian Gong to completion. As long as Soul Masters continue to attack us, we won't show mercy and will seize the Soul Ascension Technique. What Tang San said is possible!"
"Yes, Xiao Gang, your future limit won't be stuck at the Soul Emperor level!" Liu Er Long also spoke up.
The people around, including Dai Mubai, focused their attention on Tang San, waiting for his next words.
Tang San revealed a calm smile as he looked at his companions and said, "Everyone, you've all joined my Tang Men, and I'll also teach you Xuan Tian Gong. With the help of Xuan Tian Gong, our future won't be surpassed by those Soul Masters who have cultivated the Academy's internal skills. Instead, we'll be even stronger!"
Xuan Tian Gong, stronger than the Academy's internal skill!
This was something Tang San was most proud of, and it was also the foundation of his renewed confidence.
"Thank you, Third Brother!" Ma Hong Jun exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't worry, Tang Men won't let down any of its members!" Tang San said calmly.
He turned around, looking at the many powerful Soul Masters bound by his Blue Silver Grass, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
"These people are no longer useful."
As he spoke, the Blue Silver Grass released a series of toxic thorns, and the toxins spread throughout the bodies of these powerful Soul Masters, causing their bodies to rot quickly.
And, without the knowledge of the others, Tang San took the opportunity to absorb the soul power of these Soul Masters.
The toxins and the purple-black patterns on the Blue Silver Grass concealed everything.
On the third day after Su Wen was attacked, the news of the Hao Tian Sect's destruction spread throughout the continent.
At this moment, the Soul Masters on the continent were shocked, but it didn't lead to chaos or disrupt the order of the continent.
Because the Soul Master Temple had openly and justifiably destroyed the Hao Tian Sect, and the reason for its destruction was very convincing.
In fact, most of the participants in this operation weren't Bi Bi Dong's loyal followers, but rather the collective groups from the various factions of the Soul Master Temple.
This included those who admired the Academy's scholars.
These Soul Masters felt a sense of pride and accomplishment in this battle.
This was the consequence of attacking the Academy's scholars!
Many Soul Masters, especially those in the Academy who were receiving the inheritance, cheered and applauded.
Soul Masters from non-Soul Master families or sects felt a sense of schadenfreude towards the destruction of the Hao Tian Sect, a large sect.
Especially after they had obtained advanced skills and theories, they began to feel a sense of imbalance due to their inferior status.
The notion that "large sects are superior" was no longer valid.
The destruction of the Hao Tian Sect made them feel that it was only natural and justified.
The Soul Masters from various sects and families, on the other hand, began to think about the opportunities this presented.
With one fewer of the Seven Great Sects, they might be able to recruit many talented Soul Masters.
The Academy's promotion of the talent system, where innate soul power was no longer the only standard, had expanded the scope of talent.
As the saying goes, "Build high walls, accumulate talents, and wait for the right moment to become the king."
As long as they could continue to recruit talented Soul Masters and wait for the larger sects to clash, they might gain an opportunity if the larger sects were to suffer a mutual defeat.
The Heavenly Dou Empire.
The Snow Emperor was probably the only one dissatisfied with the Soul Master Temple's actions.
"The Soul Master Temple is too arrogant, directly destroying the Hao Tian Sect!"
The Hao Tian Sect, after all, was within the Heavenly Dou Realm. Even if the Hao Tian Sect's six Title Douluos had broken the balance between the large sects, creating a situation where one sect was superior to the others, the Soul Master Temple still had control over them.
On the other hand, the Hao Tian Sect's six Title Douluos had also restricted the Soul Master Temple's strength.
The two empires had already become unable to counter the Soul Master Temple, and the addition of the Hao Tian Sect would have maintained the balance.
However, the Soul Master Temple had indeed resolved the issue quickly, breaking the balance that had only lasted for less than a year.
