At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yang Xiong was currently training in the back mountains.
Yang Xiong was wearing a set of battle clothes, carrying thousands of pounds of weight, all made from Deep Sea Sinking Silver.
In front of him was a giant iron ball, two and a half meters in diameter and weighing over ten thousand pounds.
Yang Xiong pushed the iron ball, slowly walking up the mountain path. It seemed like every step required him to exhaust all his Strength.
Especially without using his Martial Soul, he had to find every possible way to push the iron ball forward. Every muscle in his body felt like it was under immense pressure.
This was the iron ball pushing training method Yang Xiong had devised. It wasn't just for muscle training, but also for training the body's endurance.
After more than two hours, Yang Xiong finally pushed the giant iron ball to the top of the mountain, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
One had to know that during this process, the mountain path was rugged and had various obstacles. Several times, the iron ball seemed to lose control and almost crushed him.
After exhausting himself to reach the mountaintop, Yang Xiong sat down with Lin Gong and drank large gulps of Water.
Lin Gong said helplessly, "Little Xiong, why do you always come up with such torturous training methods? If you're not careful with this iron ball, it could easily hit others. Aren't you afraid of causing problems?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Teacher Lin, this iron ball pushing is quite good. You can customize iron balls of various sizes later and use them as one of the training methods for everyone in the Body Academy and Body Sect."
Lin Gong also nodded, "After watching your training just now, this is indeed a very good way to train the physique. Unfortunately, normal students don't have your physical quality, so it might be relatively dangerous."
Since absorbing his Seventh Soul Ring, Yang Xiong's Strength had increased significantly again, and his control over Strength had also greatly improved. This ten thousand pound weight was no longer too much trouble.
This was without using his Martial Soul. If he used his Martial Soul and Strength Amplification Soul Skill, Yang Xiong couldn't even imagine how strong he would become.
Lin Gong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Little Xiong, Cloud Mist Mountain seems quite lively right now. Aren't you planning to go take a look?"
Yang Xiong shook his head, "I won't participate in their gathering. I hope they have a good time."
A hint of doubt appeared on Lin Gong's face, "According to the information I received, Titan has already arrived, and he brought a young man with him. That should be your classmate, Tang San."
"I see that kid is ambitious and very talented. Aren't you afraid he'll trick the Three Single Attribute Families away?"
Yang Xiong's lips curled into a sneer, "Everything in this world is related to interests. If they truly want to leave the Body Sect, I can't interfere too much. After all, there's no point in forcing someone to stay if their heart isn't in it."
"However, without the benefits I provide, without the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, can the Three Single Attribute Families be as carefree as they are now? Can they cultivate and improve themselves with peace of mind like they do now?"
Lin Gong was a little confused, "But I see that the Strength Clan seems to be following Tang San's lead. The Strength Clan has a small influence in Heaven Dou City, perhaps they can help Tang San grow."
Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Teacher Lin, stop testing me. You and I both know the situation in Heaven Dou City right now. It's a huge melting pot that could explode at any moment."
"I'm just waiting for it to explode, waiting for the Spirit Hall's next move. Only then can we truly rise with the momentum."
Lin Gong suddenly became a little serious, "Little Xiong, I still need to remind you. You are, after all, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you start your own Sect, you will likely encounter various difficulties, especially since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a mountain you cannot overcome."
Yang Xiong picked up the water bottle and gulped down the entire contents. Only then did he let out a long sigh, "Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Lin. I'll find time to talk to the Sect Leader soon. Some things do need to be explained."
...
On Cloud Mist Mountain, Yang Wudi and the others fell silent after seeing the Black Clothes person appear.
This person was Tang Hao. Even Tang San was very surprised, "Father, why are you here?"
And Titan seemed exceptionally excited, "Master, you've finally appeared. This old servant has missed you terribly."
Tang Hao just nodded slightly at Tang San and Titan, then looked at Yang Wudi and the other two.
At this moment, Yang Wudi and the others' expressions also became extremely serious. In their eyes, there seemed to be resentment, entanglement, and a hint of confusion.
Tang Hao was the designated successor to the next Sect Leader of the Clear Sky Sect back then. His status within the Clear Sky Sect was lofty, especially since Tang Hao himself possessed extraordinary cultivation talent. Many said he would be the next Haotian Douluo, the next Tang Chen.
Unfortunately, after a drastic change, Tang Hao himself disappeared without a trace, and even the sect suffered immense losses.
Therefore, in the eyes of Yang Wudi and the others, Tang Hao was once the person they respected the most, yet also the person who brought them endless disaster, even destroying their former faith.
Tang Hao looked at Yang Wudi and the other two: "Clan Leader Yang, Clan Leader Niu, Uncle, it's been many years."
Yang Wudi couldn't help but sigh: "Tang Hao, since you've been gone for countless years, why appear again?"
A hint of entanglement appeared in Tang Hao's eyes, but it eventually became resolute: "What happened back then was my fault. I was too reckless and caused you such great losses. You can hit or scold me as you please. Even if you take my life, I won't say a word."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Yang Wudi's mouth: "Why bother? What happened back then is in the past. We didn't take it to heart when you killed the Pope back then."
"But what truly disappointed us was that you disappeared without a trace, completely unworthy of your title as Haotian Douluo."
"If you had shown up back then, even if my Breaking Clan had suffered heavy casualties, I would have had nothing to say. Unfortunately, you chose the path we despise the most. Both you and your Clear Sky Sect betrayed the faith of all of us. This is what I cannot tolerate."
Niu Gao and Bai He, who were standing by, also nodded. They were not afraid of death either, but they would not allow others to stab them in the back, especially when that person was someone they believed in.
A pained expression appeared on Tang Hao's face, clearly recalling the past events. It was because of him that the once number one sect in the world was instantly annihilated.
A hint of unbearable emotion appeared on Tang San's face: "Senior Yang, you don't know what happened back then. My father also suffered greatly, and his injuries haven't healed yet."
Tang Hao roared: "Little San, that's enough. What happened back then was indeed my fault. As a true man, there are no excuses."
After speaking, Tang Hao bowed slightly to Yang Wudi and the others: "Clan Leader Yang, Clan Leader Niu, Uncle, I was wrong about what happened back then. I apologize to you."
Yang Wudi and the others had various expressions upon hearing this. Although they had hated Tang Hao over the years, they were also filled with helplessness regarding the events of that year. After all, the ones who truly acted were the Spirit Hall, and their enemies were also the Spirit Hall.
Finally, Yang Wudi sighed: "Tang Hao, we don't want to say anything more about what happened back then. This apology is what you owe us. Take your son and leave. From now on, I will have no further connection with your Clear Sky Sect."
Niu Gao, who was standing by, also nodded: "Tang Hao, we watched you grow up. Your talent is unparalleled. Unfortunately, when you encountered a major event, you didn't think about the people around you. Both you and the Clear Sky Sect have disappointed us. Therefore, from now on, my Defense Clan will have no further connection with your Clear Sky Sect. You don't need to say anything more."
After Yang Wudi and Niu Gao finished speaking, a hint of hesitation appeared on Bai He's face. He finally gritted his teeth before speaking: "Tang Hao, our relationship was originally close, but unfortunately, you were wrong about what happened back then, and the Clear Sky Sect was also wrong. Since my Agility Clan has already left the Clear Sky Sect, I don't want to have any further connection with your Tang family."
"From now on, let's not meet again. Whether your Clear Sky Sect is glorious or in decline, my Agility Clan doesn't want to benefit from you."
After the three of them expressed their stances consecutively, Tang Hao's face seemed to relax a lot. This apology was indeed many years late, but it could be considered fulfilling one of his long-held wishes.
"Thank you three. If you ever need me, Tang Hao will not hesitate."
Yang Wudi and the other two remained silent upon hearing this, clearly not wanting to have any further connection with Tang Hao.
Tang Hao glanced at Tang San, finally gritting his teeth before speaking: "Three seniors, I know I was wrong about the principles, but all the mistakes are mine and have nothing to do with Little San. I hope you will listen to Little San's suggestion."
Yang Wudi snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you, Tang Hao, to also consider your son. The once arrogant Haotian Douluo has finally changed."
"However, it's a bit of a pity. No matter what your son says, it has nothing to do with us, and it's impossible for us to have any connection with the Tang Sect he mentioned."
Tang Hao was a little puzzled: "Just because of the mistakes I made back then, you look down on my son so much? My son, Tang San, is countless times stronger than me in both talent and responsibility."
Yang Wudi smiled: "What does that have to do with us? To be honest, as early as five years ago, our Three Single Attribute Families had already merged and established a new sect. Do you think a new sect like ours could possibly join the Tang Sect that Tang San mentioned?"
Both Tang San and Tang Hao, and even Titan, were all startled. They hadn't expected that the Three Single Attribute Families had already established a new sect so early.
Moreover, in terms of the strength of these three families, there were nearly a thousand Soul Masters alone, not to mention that Niu Gao was already a Titled Douluo. This strength had already surpassed the Lower Four Sects.
Titan's face showed a hint of unwillingness. "Old Goat, even if you don't want to join the Tang Sect, you don't have to fool us like this. Why have I never heard any news about you establishing a new sect?"
Yang Wudi's mouth curved into a bitter smile. "Old Gorilla, there's a lot you don't know. Five years ago, our Breaking Clan, Defense Clan, Agility Clan, and the Peerless Dragon Snake Family had already established a new sect. It's just that the situation was special at the time, so it was only established in secret and we secretly cooperated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Now that the world is in chaos, we're not afraid to tell you. Our new sect is about to emerge, and it might cause a drastic change in the Soul Master world, perhaps even replacing the position of the former Upper Three Sects."
"And I'll tell you, Old Gorilla, back then we also wanted to use our friendship to pull you into our new sect, but unfortunately, your relationship with the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Hao was too complicated, which is why we didn't tell you."
Tang Hao and the other two were greatly surprised again upon hearing this. Since the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the Upper Three Sects had existed in name only.
But if the Three Single Attribute Families plus the Peerless Dragon Snake Family were combined, they would indeed be a very powerful force, especially since this sect had two Titled Douluo and Yang Wudi, a master comparable to a Titled Douluo. In terms of overall strength, they were definitely not weaker than the former Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
Both Tang San and Titan understood that the Three Single Attribute Families could not possibly join the Tang Sect. In terms of strength alone, they had already surpassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. The Soul Master world had never seen such a strong sect join another force, not even the Spirit Hall could achieve that.
Tang Hao, having seen much of the world, didn't dwell on it. "Then congratulations to you. However, could you tell us who will be the Sect Leader?"
Yang Wudi showed a strange smile. "You don't need to worry about that. This is confidential for now."
