Chapter 412: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [412]
"I was just giving an objective evaluation."
Qian Daoliu's words were sincere because, strictly speaking, Tang Chen's talent was slightly higher than his own. After all, Qian Daoliu's growth was heavily reliant on his god-level martial soul, the Seraphim, and the inheritance of the Spirit Hall.
And Tang Chen? Tang Chen only had a top-tier martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer.
The Clear Sky Clan existed long before Tang Chen, but it was just an ordinary sect on the continent, with overall strength only slightly above average. It wasn't even qualified to be one of the Seven Great Sects. The current Clear Sky Clan was entirely the result of Tang Chen's personal efforts, hammering its way to becoming the number one sect in the world.
The Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky were created by Tang Chen himself. The techniques of Ring Explosion and Great Sumeru Hammer were also his research. Other than providing Tang Chen with the Clear Sky Hammer and some early support, everything else the Clear Sky Clan had today was what Tang Chen had given back to the clan.
As a power-type soul master, Tang Chen not only had no flaws in his skills but also possessed an exceptionally high level of mastery.
Decades ago, when Qian Daoliu fought Tang Chen, his martial soul quality gave him an advantage. However, Tang Chen had the upper hand in terms of skill and realm.
For someone to elevate their techniques and abilities to a level comparable to the millennia-old swordsmanship heritage of the Angel lineage was practically defying the heavens.
Moreover, unlike Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, who reached level 99 by relying on divine trials, Tang Chen reached level 99 entirely through his abilities before seeking out a divine trial. While this was partly due to fortuitous encounters in his youth, it was ultimately a testament to Tang Chen's capabilities.
