Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 170: Hold on for a Stick of Incense
When Tang San walked into the trading point, the originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

"He is Tang San."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't let him hear you. Don't look him in the eye. I heard he doesn't allow people to mention his name. It's unspeakable and unseen."

"Hurry, hurry, girls, get out of the way! Tang San is very lustful. I heard he has to fight his maids all night long to quench his thirst. I heard he's already set his sights on Hu Liena, and he's not going to refuse anyone who comes his way."

Tang San's face was filled with black lines. Who on earth is spreading rumors?

Qian Renxue said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"Hey! You know this is fake."

"It doesn't look fake."

"???"

Having found the challenge point, Tang San and his companions were not in a hurry. They had been sleeping in the open air for the past few days and had been eating prepared dried meat and wild fruits. Naturally, when they came to the trading point, they had to eat something delicious and buy some food to replenish their energy.

"Even elixirs and soul guides are traded here." Tang San looked at the dazzling array of things. Some soul guides were releasing special soul power fluctuations. These things all had an ancient flavor and were obviously dug out from some ancient ruins in the Lost Grand Canyon.

Qian Renxue looked at these ancient soul guides and said, "Brother Tang San, are you interested in soul guides?"

Tang San did not hide it and nodded: "I think the future development of soul masters cannot be without soul guides. Maybe in the future soul guides can take soul masters out of Douluo Continent."

Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully.

The challenge point is in a dome-shaped building at the back of the trading point. Unlike the bustling trading point, the challenge point is deserted. Not to mention queuing, there is not even a single person to be seen.

Seeing no one around, Tai Long asked, "Why isn't anyone challenging me? Didn't they say there were extra credits?"

"A level 69 Soul Emperor can hold out for the duration of an incense stick. For most Soul Masters with three or four rings, it is not an easy task even for a team of seven." Tang San explained.

Qian Renxue looked at Tang San with a deep look in her eyes and said, "Brother Tang San, you are planning to go alone, right?"

Tang San smiled and said, "As expected of you, Little Freckles. You're really good at judging people."

Qian Renxue had naturally guessed it. After all, Xie Yue, the leader of the Golden Generation, had single-handedly defeated a Soul Emperor teacher at the academy, earning him fame and recognition throughout the academy. Tang San was inherently proud, so he naturally didn't want to fall behind Xie Yue.

The soul guide in his hand beeped towards the door, and then after the door opened, Tang San walked in alone to accept the challenge.

As Tang San entered the dome building, the scene inside appeared before his eyes. The entire challenge field was not very large and had no extra decorations. The entire space was a battlefield.

"Tang San, Young Master of the Clear Sky Sect, just as I expected, you came in alone to challenge me."

A male voice came from the corner. Tang San looked in the direction of the voice. At the source of the voice, a man wearing glasses was sitting on a chair and reading quietly. This man, who looked to be in his early thirties, was wearing the badge of the Spirit Hall. There was no doubt that he was Teacher Mu from the Spirit Academy.

With a snap, Teacher Mu closed the book, looked Tang San over, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, you have your own pride and chose to challenge someone. For that alone, I should give you extra points." Tang San naturally responded politely, saying, "Student Tang San is here to challenge."

Teacher Mu stood up, walked to the opposite side of Tang San, and said with a gentle smile: "Tang San, you should know the rules of the challenge. You just need to hold out for one incense stick of time."

With a humming sound, the martial soul light emerged. The man called Teacher Mu was as his name suggests. His martial soul was the treeman martial soul. Six soul rings of yellow, purple and black emerged. There was no doubt that he was indeed a powerful Soul Emperor.

Tang San nodded, with a look of certainty on his face, and said, "I know. Teacher, as long as you can hold on for one incense stick, I will be considered a failure in the challenge, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. As long as you can hold out for a...? I can hold out for an incense stick?!" Teacher Mu was stunned and even suspected he had misheard. He quickly corrected her, "No, no, no, it's you who can hold out for an incense stick. You only need to hold out for an incense stick in my hand to succeed in the challenge."

Tang San waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, teacher, you are mistaken. If I cannot defeat you within one incense stick, then I will be defeated. You just need to hold on for one incense stick."

?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
Teacher Mu's eyes widened, he blinked, rubbed his temples, and he felt like he had entered a fantasy world.

Is this right?!
Are you the Soul Emperor or am I the Soul Emperor!

I'll hold on for a stick of incense! Turn the tables on you, Tian Gang!

However, the next second, Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer. Ever since he obtained the ten thousand year level human-faced demon spider spirit ring, the Clear Sky Hammer has been emitting a darker glow, appearing heavier and darker, as if all light would be swallowed by it.

This time, Tang San not only used his martial spirit, but also his spirit rings appeared, yellow, purple, and black! The fourth spirit ring was surprisingly a black ten thousand year spirit ring!
"Black?! Am I seeing right? The fourth soul ring is black!" Teacher Mu rubbed his eyes. What happened to him today? Is there something wrong with his ears and eyes?!
Tang San snapped his fingers and lit a stick of incense and stuck it into the ground.

"Teacher, please hold on for one stick of incense."

"No, you're serious!"

Tang San was of course serious!

With a loud thud, the ground actually began to tremble as Tang San clenched the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. With a sharp shout, Tang San took a lightning step forward, unleashing his first spirit skill, and smashed the hammer down with unparalleled speed. There was no change in the technique, but the roar of such a heavy hammer swung down at such an unparalleled speed was unstoppable.

"Martial spirit possession, wooden shield!" Seeing Tang San attacking, Teacher Mu didn't care who would hold up the incense stick Tang San mentioned, and just fought first and talked about it later.

Teacher Mu's skin became dry and rough, just like tree bark. When his second spirit ring was activated, a wooden shield grew out of his hands. Facing Tang San's attack, he, who was a level 69 Spirit Emperor, clasped his hands together to block the attack.

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer arrived as expected, with a loud bang, the powerful Clear Sky Hammer slammed heavily on the shield. Teacher Mu, who was a little unhappy because of Tang San's nonsense, suddenly changed his expression. He felt as if he was holding up a mountain with his hands, which was extremely heavy and brought with it a strong shock wave.

"Nine Jue of Haotian!"

Tang San's first spirit skill was just a spirit skill that strengthened ordinary attacks. It was just a small skill used to connect to high-level spirit skills. As the hammer fell, Tang San changed his technique, moved to the side of Teacher Mu and started with the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes!
