When Bai He returned to the supply town once more, Tang Hao and the other two had also come back. The outcome went without saying—they had not found the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Blue Bull Python.
Nor had any powerful experts from the Spirit Hall arrived.
Originally, Tang Hao had held onto a sliver of hope that if Xiao Wu's helpers among the spirit beasts were indeed the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, perhaps they could rely on pressure from the Spirit Hall.
Capturing three 100,000-Year Soul Beasts in one go—what a wonderful thing that would have been.
But now it seemed this path would have to be temporarily abandoned.
However, Tang Hao would not give up. Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Blue Bull Python would definitely become Xiao San's Spirit Rings in the future.
Tang Hao met with Bai He, Yu Xiaogang, Tang Xiao, and the Second Elder again.
Before anyone could speak, Bai He took the lead: "Hao'er, we can't delay any longer this time. 100,000-Year Soul Beasts are rare and hard to come by. We must not waste Xiao San's time!"
Tang Hao said helplessly, "Uncle, I understand. Over these past three days, I've also been keeping an eye out for high-age soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Next, we'll help Xiao San hunt them down!"
Hearing this, Bai He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly been worried that Tang Hao would stubbornly insist on finding a 100,000-Year Soul Beast for Tang San, which would have been a huge waste of time.
"This time, I'll go with you. Once Xiao San steps into the Titled Douluo realm, we can then assess whether the Clear Sky Hammer can still have Spirit Rings attached to it!" Yu Xiaogang said. Tang San was his son, after all, and for this miraculous moment of stepping into the Titled Douluo realm, Yu Xiaogang only wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
Both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao nodded in agreement.
The group exchanged glances and headed out, leaving the supply town and quickly venturing deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for the soul beasts to be hunted, Tang Hao had already found suitable ones.
While racing forward, he shared his plan with the others: "In the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, I encountered three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors, all over ninety thousand years old. They are extremely suitable for Xiao San!"
He and Tang Xiao had come across them while searching for the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python.
After the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python left the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, that territory was quickly taken over by the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor brothers. Now, it had instead become their death warrant.
"Thousand Jun Ant Emperors? And ninety thousand years old at that!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.
"Grandmaster, are they suitable for Xiao San to absorb?" Tang Xiao asked.
Yu Xiaogang said in amazement, "Extremely suitable. For Thousand Jun Ants, cultivating to a thousand years is already difficult. To reach ninety thousand years, not far from being a 100,000-Year Soul Beast—their vitality must be incredibly tenacious.
Their strength is also extraordinarily immense. They would be highly suitable for both Xiao San's first and second Martial Souls!"
These were three suitable Ninety Thousand Year Soul Beasts. To encounter them just like that—their luck was truly remarkable.
Bai He and Qingyang Douluo both felt a surge of joy. Old Titan's Eighth Soul Ring was also from a Thousand Jun Ant, and they knew well how powerful it was.
And now, these were ninety-thousand-year-old Thousand Jun Ant Emperors. How much greater would Tang San's improvement be?
They could hardly wait.
Two hours later, Tang Hao and the others found Tang San and Xiao Wu, then proceeded directly to the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Beside the clear lake, three identical soul beasts lay comfortably in a row, crouched by the water's edge.
They were the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors.
Thousand Jun Ants are not known for their size. These three ninety-thousand-year-old Thousand Jun Ant Emperors are only three meters long. Their bodies are covered in dark golden carapaces, beneath which are six thick and powerful short legs, exuding a sense of immense strength.
"A thirty-thousand-year-old Thousand Jun Ant might exceed one meter in length. At three meters, these are indeed ninety-thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts!
Moreover, these three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors have wings on their backs and sword-like teeth in their mouths, seemingly mutated. Such Spirit Beasts are sure to grant Xiao San powerful Soul Skills!"
Yu Xiaogang said joyfully.
"Hehe!"
Tang Hao grinned, and in perfect sync with Tang Xiao beside him, they activated their Martial Soul Avatars. Besides them, Qingyang Douluo also followed suit, revealing nine Spirit Rings.
Three massive Clear Sky Hammers radiated formidable power as they prepared to strike the three Spirit Beasts.
Three ninety-thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts were beyond Tang San's ability to handle. Moreover, they were in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest. To avoid complications, Tang Hao and the other two decided to secure these three Spirit Beasts for Tang San.
In the original storyline, these three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors were also hunted by Tang San.
Now, they could not escape this fate.
After the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python went into hiding, the three brothers, having not sensed the King of the Forest for some time, grew overconfident.
They immediately came and occupied this prime location.
In their view, with the three brothers working together, who could possibly be their match?
But now, the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors sensed the strength of their enemies.
Strength against strength!
Three Clear Sky Hammers descended from the sky, aiming for their heads.
In their most confident aspect, how could the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors back down?
With their wings buzzing, they charged from three directions in a semi-encircling formation toward Tang Hao and the others.
Their speed was surprisingly fast, seemingly intending to crush Tang Hao and the others from both sides.
This was one of the three brothers' hunting methods—using immense strength to crush their enemies into pulp.
It fully demonstrated their coordination, strength, and defense.
No matter how strong the enemy, the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors were confident they could overpower them with sheer force.
But this time, they had met their match. Aside from Qingyang Douluo, the strength of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, enhanced by their Martial Soul Avatars, was not something the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors could shake.
The Clear Sky Hammers collided with the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors, the powerful impact causing everyone's ears to ring and tremble violently.
The Thousand Jun Ant Emperors failed to shake Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, or Qingyang Douluo as they had hoped.
Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Hammers' attack power landed squarely on the bodies of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors.
Of course, given the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors' defensive capabilities, the injuries were barely noticeable.
But this was only the beginning. The Clear Sky Hammer's fighting style grows stronger with each battle, and the coordination between Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Qingyang Douluo was no less than that of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors.
In terms of combat skill, the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors were far inferior to Tang Hao and the others, appearing incredibly clumsy by comparison.
"Soaring Strike!"
"Twin Hammers of Haotian!"
Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Qingyang Douluo shouted in unison.
The sixth Spirit Rings of all three lit up, and each of their Clear Sky Hammers transformed into two.
Then, they unleashed the Clear Sky Sect's strongest attack skill, the Soaring Strike.
Six Clear Sky Hammers flew from their hands, each targeting one of the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors.
The terrifying force directly disrupted the perfectly coordinated formation of the three Spirit Beasts.
Then, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao exchanged a glance. Tang Xiao charged forward alone, using two Clear Sky Hammers to confront two of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperors.
Tang Hao and Qingyang Douluo joined forces to deal with one.
Twin Hammers of Haotian was a Martial Soul Clone Skill of the Clear Sky Sect, typically manifested at the sixth Soul Skill, which created a Clear Sky Hammer with strength equal to the original Martial Soul.
Now they intended to use this skill to let Tang Xiao handle two Spirit Beasts first, while Tang Hao and Qingyang Douluo seized the chance to eliminate one.
