The old man snorted lightly: "So you do have help, let me see who it is. You have some nerve to even dare mess with the disciples of our Vast Heaven Sect. With me, Tang Tian, here, let's see who can touch my son."
The old man looked behind Ye Yu, and from the darkness, a rugged figure with a black cloak slowly approached, making it impossible to see their face.
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly. Even though he couldn't see the appearance clearly, he felt the person was about his age, and immediately grew more disdainful.
"To mess with us, I originally thought your helper was a Titled Douluo. But since he looks about my age, then my son will win tomorrow without a fight. Among my peers, I only fear two people: Tang Xiao, the current Sect Leader of Vast Heaven Sect, and my most admired idol, the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, Tang Hao. Meeting anyone else my age, they simply couldn't be my match."
Tang Tian's body was surrounded by the rhythm of eight best Soul Rings, and he stated proudly: "Release your Martial Soul, let me see what skill you have."
At this moment, Tang Hao's deep voice echoed: "Tang Tian, are you sure?"
"Hmph, stop with the nonsense, let's fight!" Tang Tian replied impatiently.
"Alright then."
Tang Hao stepped forward, one Soul Ring after another descending upon him.
Tang Tian said: "Looks like it's also the best Soul Ring configuration. Hmm?"
Soon, Tang Tian frowned as the seventh Soul Ring descended without stopping, another black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring fell.
Tang Tian was surprised inside: "Among my peers, very few can reach Soul Douluo Level, and he actually is a Soul Douluo..."
Suddenly, Tang Tian's face changed dramatically!
Because after the eighth Soul Ring descended, it wasn't over. The ninth Soul Ring fell from Tang Hao's head, pulsating around him.
Tang Tian, along with Tang Long and Tang Hu, all widened their eyes in shock, looking at the ninth Soul Ring on Tang Hao, a red Soul Ring!
"Ti... Titled Douluo... Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?!!"
Tang Tian was stunned: "Who... who are you?"
Tang Tian's voice trembled, Tang Long and Tang Hu retreated repeatedly.
"Tang Tian, you can't even recognize my voice now?"
This sentence left Tang Tian startled, then a Giant Hammer appeared in Tang Hao's right hand, Tang Tian's eyes widened: "Vast Heaven Hammer?! You... you are..."
Tang Tian showed excitement and admiration: "Tang Hao, is it really you?!"
Tang Hao lifted his face slightly, took off his hood, and revealed the resolute yet weathered face.
Tang Tian was both happy and excited: "It really is you!"
Tang Tian retracted his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, quickly stepped forward, and inspected Tang Hao.
"Tang Hao, it's been a long time."
Tang Long and Tang Hu also recognized him. Tang Hao was their idol, a god-like figure in the minds of the younger generation of the Vast Heaven Sect. They had all heard of Tang Hao's feats.
Tang Hao looked at Tang Long and Tang Hu, saying: "Your two sons have grown so big already, not bad."
Tang Long and Tang Hu stepped forward excitedly, scratching their heads and said: "We can't compare to Uncle Hao."
Tang Hao spoke straightly: "If you face Ye Yu, I hope you concede."
Tang Long and Tang Hu nodded repeatedly: "We will definitely concede!"
They naturally listened to Tang Hao's words.
Concerned, Tang Tian asked: "Brother Hao, after all these years, where did you go? How's life been?"
"It's alright."
Looking at Tang Hao, Tang Tian felt bittersweet, knowing he chose to leave to avoid implicating the Vast Heaven Sect.
Tang Hao said: "Xiao Yu's strength is above yours, you can fight him now."
Hearing this, Tang Long and Tang Hu were surprised, was Ye Yu's strength stronger than theirs?
Ye Yu looked very young, and they all thought his achievements were a result of some unseen assistance or through some means.
Ye Yu said: "You two can come at me together, give it your all, I'll use my full strength as well."
"Together?"
The two were stunned again.
"No need, I'll do it. If he can defeat me, he'll surely defeat my brother as well."
Tang Long's six Soul Rings pulsed, yellow-yellow-purple-purple-black-black.
Although they conceded out of respect for Tang Hao, they actually wanted to spar with Ye Yu to see how strong he really was.
Ye Yu nodded, and five Soul Rings appeared, instantly shocking the brother duo and Tang Tian, who also widened their eyes in astonishment.
"This... Soul Rings starting from a thousand years, and the third, fourth, and fifth Soul Rings are all Ten-Thousand-Year!" Tang Tian's eyes widened, too stunned.
Even Tang Hao, with his normally steady gaze, showed surprise, noting Ye Yu's fifth Soul Ring with faint red patterns on the black ring.
Tang Hao asked in surprise: "Xiao Yu, your fifth Soul Ring, about eighty thousand years?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Yes, eighty thousand years."
Tang Tian was shocked. As a Soul Douluo, even his eighth Soul Ring was only over fifty thousand years old, yet Ye Yu's fifth Soul Ring was already eighty thousand! How was this possible...
Tang Tian marveled: "It seems truly extraordinary, unbelievable Soul Ring configuration."
Then Ye Yu's left and right arms and Trunk External Soul Bone emerged, further shocking Tang Hao and the four others. When Ye Yu went into Complete Voidification, even Tang Hao was stunned!
In Complete Voidification, Ye Yu's first and second Soul Rings turned black, and the fifth Soul Ring, fully red! Radiating brilliant red light in the dark woods!
"A... Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?!!"
Tang Long and Tang Hu were dumbfounded, vigorously rubbing their eyes, doubting if they were seeing things.
Tang Tian was incredulous: "To actually become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring..."
Tang Hao was also shocked; a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was extremely rare, his own ninth Soul Ring was due to special circumstances, yet Ye Yu's fifth Soul Ring was already a Hundred-Thousand-Year one.
Tang Hao initially thought Ye Yu would surpass him in the future, but now realized he underestimated him, for Ye Yu would far surpass him!
Tang Hao exclaimed: "This Head External Soul Bone has the ability to enhance Soul Ring age, truly the strongest External Soul Bone I've seen."
Ye Yu didn't mention Complete Voidification could enhance Soul Power by two levels; otherwise, they'd be even more astonished.
"Come on, let's begin." Ye Yu's combat spirit soared, eager for a good battle.
Looking at Ye Yu's Soul Ring configuration and four External Soul Bones, Wang Long felt intimidated, even as a Soul King, realizing Ye Yu's combat power was surely beyond the Soul King realm.
Ye Yu released his Martial Soul, enhancing himself with the second, third, and fifth Soul Techniques, further boosting his strength.
Tang Long exclaimed: "This strength aura, giving pressure even to me at sixty-four levels. Yet, it also makes my blood boil, let's go!"
Tang Long's fighting spirit surged, full of vigor.
Although Ye Yu was a Demon, more terrifying than his idol Tang Hao had ever been at this age, Tang Long, being sixty-four levels and of Vast Heaven Sect, with strength comparable to ordinary sixty-seven levels, still had confidence.
The battle began, the rumbling continued incessantly.
However, less than ten minutes later, the rumbling ceased.
Tang Long, with a bruised and swollen face and aching all over, immediately said: "No more, no more, way too terrifying! What kind of body is this, can't hurt it at all. And those punches, even stronger than my Vast Heaven Hammer, too terrifying!"
Tang Long was completely convinced.
