Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 291 Tang San Leads the Clear Sky Sect on an Expedition

Among the three Limit Douluo in the world, Yang Xiong actually likes and admires Qian Daoliu the most.

Given Qian Daoliu's strength, if he truly disregarded his promise to Tang Chen, he could have completely wiped out the Clear Sky Sect. He could even have used his Limit Douluo strength to wipe out all the experts in the world, and the Spirit Empire could have easily unified the world.

Unfortunately, Qian Daoliu was the person Yang Xiong understood the least. If he had no ambition, he wouldn't have supported Bibi Dong to become the emperor of the Spirit Empire, nor would he have been able to cultivate to the Limit Douluo level.

However, to say he is a gentleman is an exaggeration, as he condoned Bibi Dong's attacks on various sects and even became the mastermind behind them.

Now that Yang Xiong was truly facing Qian Daoliu, he seemed to finally understand Tang Chen's words: in Tang Chen's eyes, Qian Daoliu was a coward.

Perhaps Tang Chen had long understood Qian Daoliu's personality, which is why there was that agreement back then, and why it sowed the seeds of the Spirit Hall's destruction.

"Senior, there's something I've never quite understood. Why did you arrange for Qian Renxue to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace back then? Otherwise, given Qian Renxue's talent, her strength today would definitely be much greater."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu fell silent for a while before speaking.

"Xiaoxue is too strong-willed. Everyone in the Spirit Hall spoils her, so she doesn't get any training. Xiaoxue also wants to prove herself, which is why I arranged for her to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."

"It seems that my decision back then was wrong. Xiaoxue has been hiding her true face and personality all these years. As a Soul Master, this is a major taboo."

"Especially after Xiaoxue lost to you back then, her mentality seemed to have changed. She has always wanted to challenge you again, but unexpectedly, she lost even more miserably this time."

Yang Xiong laughed and said, "This loss might be a good thing for Qian Renxue. Only by truly experiencing victory and defeat can one understand the cruelty of battle and stop being so arrogant as before."

Qian Daoliu nodded: "Perhaps. After losing to you back then, Xiaoxue has been working hard to cultivate these past few years, and her strength has improved very quickly. But I also know that she is always full of resentment and wants to truly prove herself."

"This defeat to you again might increase her determination and her belief in becoming stronger."

……

Yang Xiong and Qian Daoliu chatted casually for a while, exchanging their views on the changes in Soul Masters and even discussing the situation on the continent, as if they were two outsiders.

Not only was Yang Xiong very wary of Qian Daoliu, but Qian Daoliu was also clearly wary of Yang Xiong as well.

Yang Xiong's recovery ability seemed a bit exaggerated to Qian Daoliu. After all, he had just gone through a great battle, yet his injuries had healed so quickly, and even his soul power had been restored.

Before Qian Daoliu left, Yang Xiong asked again.

"Senior, I have a question that I don't understand. I wonder if you could help me clear it up?"

Qian Daoliu laughed and said, "Young friend, your strength is outstanding. There should be nothing in this world that can stump you. I am just a few years older than you. Young friend, you may speak frankly."

Yang Xiong's expression was serious: "Senior, with your strength, is it really possible that you will lose to Tang Chen and Poseidon? At least based on your battle with Qian Renxue just now, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul should theoretically be invincible."

Qian Daoliu smiled slightly: "Is winning or losing really that important? Back then, the strength difference between the three Limit Douluos was very small, and each of us had our own strengths. There was no real question of winning or losing."

Yang Xiong then looked thoughtfully at Qian Daoliu's departing figure. Given their strength and realm, unless it was a true life-or-death struggle, it would be difficult to determine a winner.

In Wuhun City, Qian Renxue returned covered in injuries.

Everyone in the Douluo Palace gathered together, and even Bibi Dong came to the Douluo Palace.

Bibi Dong's face was cold and gloomy.

"Xiaoxue, I told you beforehand not to challenge Yang Xiong, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've learned your lesson."

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth: "My affairs are none of your business. Even if I lose, it will be fair and square. Do you think you can defeat Yang Xiong?"

Bibi Dong's expression remained uncertain upon hearing this, and she eventually left the Douluo Palace.

The other six elders were all focused on Qian Renxue's injuries, while only Qian Daoliu sat in the very center of the hall.

Qian Renxue revealed a hint of dejection.

"Grandpa, I've disappointed you. I never thought I'd be defeated by Yang Xiong again. I never imagined I'd lose so badly this time."

As Qian Renxue said, there is no precedent in the world for someone with level 98 soul power to fight against a quasi-titled Douluo. Qian Renxue will probably be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of her life.

Sendou Ryu seemed much more serious than before.

"Xiaoxue, have you ever thought about why you lost? Have you ever thought about why you were so badly defeated when you were much stronger than Yang Xiong in terms of soul power level, martial soul's flight attribute, and even soul bone configuration?" Qian Renxue thought carefully before speaking.

“Grandpa, I underestimated him this time. If we consider the combat power of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul in the sky, it is definitely enough to defeat Yang Xiong. Even if it cannot win, it will definitely not lose. After all, Yang Xiong is only a qualified Title Douluo and can only fly by flying on a sword.”

Qian Daoliu shook his head: "Xiaoxue, you're thinking too simply. I've studied Yang Xiong's experience carefully. He wasn't that strong at the beginning, and he wasn't even as strong as Hu Liena and the others."

"But only ten years have passed, and he is now countless times stronger than the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall back then. Even I can't do anything to him anymore. His strength can be said to be the strongest among the younger generation."

"Moreover, based on my observation, Yang Xiong's martial spirit has undergone many changes over the years. You should know that if a martial spirit is to evolve, the pain Yang Xiong has endured and the life-and-death situations he has faced over the years are far greater than yours."

Qian Renxue said, "Grandpa, is it because I haven't experienced so many life-and-death trials?"

Qian Daoliu nodded: "That's only one of the reasons. When faced with a life-or-death decision, Yang Xiong is more courageous and more reckless than you. He's always ready to risk his life, and that's something that experience can't make up for."

Qian Renxue carefully reviewed the battle before speaking.

"Grandpa, I understand. I will never lose to Yang Xiong again, and I will never be so hesitant as I was this time."

After leaving the Douluo Palace, Bibi Dong's face appeared extremely sinister, yet also filled with apprehension.

She was well aware of Qian Renxue's strength, and she never expected that Yang Xiong would be able to defeat her. Especially since Yang Xiong's Body Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had begun to join the battle, she would probably have to face Yang Xiong head-on next.

"Yang Xiong, you just wait. I don't believe that you, a mere mortal, can contend with a true god."

……

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang San, under the guidance of Xiao Wu and Tang Chen, has recently acquired several spirit rings.

Especially after accepting the recruitment of the Evil God King, in accordance with the Evil God King's requirements, all of his spirit rings were chosen to be of the evil and dark attributes.

Tang San absorbed five top-tier spirit rings in succession, including a 100,000-year-old Netherworld Python. This not only gave Tang San a 100,000-year-old spirit ring, but also a 100,000-year-old spirit bone.

Tang San's strength has now reached level 96, a full nine levels of soul power increase from level 87 in a short period of time.

Moreover, all five of Tang San's spirit rings were over 50,000 years old. After absorbing the five spirit rings with dark and evil attributes, the Clear Sky Hammer became incredibly heavy, with the spirit itself weighing several thousand kilograms.

Tang San now possesses a total of five soul bones. Apart from the head soul bone initially given to him by Tang Hao, all of his soul bones are biased towards darkness and evil attributes.

This includes the mantis leg external soul bone, the left arm soul bone of a 90,000-year-old black-scaled merman, the left leg soul bone of a 100,000-year-old Netherworld Python, and another piece is the right leg soul bone from the Dark Night Demon Wolf.

The right leg soul bone of the Dark Night Wolf also came from the soul ring absorbed by Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, and its age reached the level of 80,000 years.

In terms of age, there is basically no soul bone with a short age, especially the mantis leg external soul bone, which has an age of over 80,000 years.

Moreover, after absorbing so many evil attribute spirit rings in succession, the originally emerald green mantis leg external spirit bone has now gradually turned dark green, looking extremely eerie.

Tang San's combat power is now extremely strong. Although he is only level 96, he is already comparable to a level 98 Title Douluo.

There aren't many high-level soul beasts left in the Star Dou Great Forest that meet Tang San's requirements, so Tang Chen decided to take Tang San away from the Star Dou Great Forest first and return to the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Chen had great confidence in Tang San's strength. With Tang San around, the Clear Sky Sect was no longer in danger in the short term.

After Tang Chen stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for such a long time, his injuries were getting worse, and it was estimated that he wouldn't have much time left to live.

Tang Chen's original plan was to train Tang San and then fulfill his last wish before his death.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were very confident in Tang San's improvement. Tang San could still absorb the last two spirit rings. If he could find a 100,000-year spirit ring, he might be able to reach level 98 or even level 99.

After Tang Chen finished explaining everything about the Haotian Sect, he prepared to go to Seagod Island alone. Having been away from the City of Slaughter for so long, his longing for Poseidon had deepened, and he didn't want to delay any longer.

The Haotian Sect has recently been in close communication with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Body Sect. After discussions, all three sects have decided to send more experts to the front lines.

Lin Gong of the Body Sect, leading several Title Douluos and a thousand Soul Masters, has already rushed to the front lines.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, led by Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, sent two thousand soul masters to the front lines. In addition, Bone Douluo was also on the front lines, so it was clear that they had revealed all their trump cards.

After a series of decisions, the Clear Sky Sect sent Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Tang San, and two elders, leading half of the Soul Masters to the front line. There was also an elder already on the front line, while two Title Douluos were stationed inside the sect.
