Looking at Yang Wudi standing ramrod straight in front of her, Qian Renxue felt a mix of complex emotions.
She hadn't forgotten that when Yang Wudi followed Tang San into the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, her true form sent the Snake Lance Douluo to stop him, but the dignified Titled Douluo was actually defeated by this Soul Douluo.
"Such a ruthless person must not be left to Tang San!" Qian Renxue secretly made up her mind. If she couldn't have him, she had to destroy him!
"Clan Chief Yang Wudi, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and chat," Luo Can said, pointing to the courtyard behind him.
Yang Wudi remained silent for a moment, his eyes filled with wariness. Perhaps considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, he finally nodded. "Alright."
At this moment, Qian Renxue also put away her martial spirit and Spirit Ring, and the two followed Yang Wudi into the courtyard one after the other.
They hadn't walked far when Yang Wudi led them into a spacious lobby.
The three took their seats, and as soon as they were settled, Luo Can went straight to the point, stating his purpose. "I've come here for only one thing: to invite you and the entire Breaking Clan to join our Fate Defying Pavilion."
Yang Wudi's brows furrowed instantly, his fist clenched and unclenched on his knees, and after a long while, he Bingbing replied, "Your Majesty, I cannot agree. My Breaking Clan will no longer join any other faction."
The betrayal of the Clear Sky Sect was like a scar etched into his bones. Back then, the four affiliated sects risked their lives for the Clear Sky Sect, but the Clear Sky Sect abandoned them like trash with a single word about closing the mountain. Most of the disciples in the clan died in battle, and his younger brother Yang Wushuang was captured. The near extinction of the clan made Yang Wudi no longer dare to trust any power.
Especially now, with the Breaking Clan having just settled down in Longyin City, he was absolutely unwilling to let his clansmen fall into danger again.
"You're worried that we'll abandon you like the Clear Sky Sect did at a crucial moment, right?" Luo Can saw through his concerns at a glance.
"Yes." Yang Wudi didn't hide anything and nodded directly.
" Yang Wudi." Luo Can slowly stood up, took two steps toward Yang Wudi, and released his aura. "Those that Tang Hao can't protect, I dare to protect; those responsibilities that the Clear Sky Sect can't bear, I dare to shoulder; if your Breaking Clan joins the Fate Defying Pavilion, even if the Spirit Hall comes out in full force, I dare to protect everyone in your Yang Clan!"
With each word he spoke, a Spirit Ring would rise beneath his feet. When the last crimson light shone, the nine Spirit Ring —six black and three red—were fully revealed before Yang Wudi's eyes.
Yang Wudi's pupils shrank dramatically upon seeing this outrageously absurd Soul Ring Configuration.
"By joining our Fate Defying Pavilion, I can not only protect your entire clan, but also make you stronger." Luo Can stared intently at Yang Wudi and said, "I can even help you break through to the Titled Douluo."
These words shattered Yang Wudi's last line of defense like a heavy hammer blow.
The more powerful the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul is, the greater its limitations are. Across the entire continent, in terms of single-target attack power, only the Seven Kill Sword can slightly surpass it.
The fatal flaw of the Breaking Clan lies in their innate Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, which grants them an extra skill and attribute bonus at the Soul Douluo level, giving them the strength to challenge Titled Douluo. However, it is precisely this Spirit Ring that completely locks off their possibility of breaking through Level 90, limiting them to the peak of the Soul Douluo for their entire lives.
"You... you really can help me break through to the Titled Douluo?" Yang Wudi's voice became hoarse.
"Why not?" Luo Can asked with a smile.
Looking at Luo Can's completely unconventional Soul Ring Configuration, Yang Wudi took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Alright! I will bring the Breaking Clan to join the Fate Defying Pavilion!"
"Very good, you'll be glad you made this choice today." Luo Can smiled, put away his Spirit Ring, took out a jet-black pill from his Storage Soul Tool at his waist, and casually tossed it to Yang Wudi. "Your soul power has been stuck at Rank 79 for a long time, hasn't it? This pill is enough to help you break through to level eighty."
Yang Wudi reached out and caught the pill. Just smelling the fragrance emanating from it, he felt his soul power stirring within him, and he immediately knew that this pill was definitely not ordinary.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Yang Wudi cupped his hands to Luo Can and swallowed the pill without hesitation.
The moment the pill entered his stomach, a surge of powerful soul energy exploded within him. In just a few breaths, his aura surged dramatically, breaking through the bottleneck of Rank 79 and settling firmly at level 80!
Feeling the surge of soul power within his body, Yang Wudi's eyes shone brightly, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "A divine pill! A divine pill!"
"This is called Soul Power Pill, one of our most prized treasures in the Fate Defying Pavilion," Luo Can said slowly. "Besides this, the pavilion also has pills that can improve Spirit Master's aptitude and strengthen their body. If you work hard, I might even let you research these Pill Recipe in the future."
"Really?!" Yang Wudi suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise.
The Breaking Clan relied on alchemy for their survival, so he had absolutely no resistance to such a top-tier Pill Recipe.
"Not a single word is false." Luo Can nodded.
At this point, Yang Wudi had no more reservations about joining the Fate Defying Pavilion. With its overwhelming strength to protect the entire clan, the opportunity to break through to the Titled Douluo, and various miraculous pills, only a fool would refuse.
He acted swiftly and decisively, summoning all the elders and core members of the Breaking Clan to the main hall that very day, and publicly announcing his decision to lead the entire clan to join the Fate Defying Pavilion.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in chaos.
"Clan leader! Have you forgotten the harm that the Clear Sky Sect caused us back then?"
"Mountains crumble, people run away! We can only rely on ourselves, clan chief!"
"We barely managed to escape the Spirit Hall's pursuit and finally settled down here. How can we just join another faction again?"
Several elders immediately stepped forward and earnestly advised him.
The Breaking Clan now like a frightened bird, extremely wary of any unfamiliar force. Upon hearing that they were to join a new sect, they immediately recalled the tragic situation when the Clear Sky Sect closed its mountain and abandoned their four affiliated sects.
Yang Wudi looked at the clansmen and elders arguing below, but he wasn't angry. He simply asked in a deep voice, "Rely on ourselves? Can we break through to the Titled Douluo by ourselves?"
One sentence silenced the noisy lobby instantly, and everyone stood there stunned.
" The Fate Defying Pavilion has a way to break the limitations of our Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul. The Pavilion Master has already promised to help me break through to the Titled Douluo in the future," Yang Wudi continued. "Moreover, the Pavilion Master has already shown his sincerity."
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his level 80 Soul Douluo aura without reservation, and his immense soul power instantly swept across the entire hall.
"Soul... Soul Douluo!"
"Chief! You've broken through to level 80!"
The clansmen and elders below were overjoyed, their faces filled with shock.
At this moment, the eldest elder stepped forward. He sized up Yang Wudi for a long time before speaking, "Clan leader, if he can truly help you break through to the Titled Douluo, then we can indeed join the Fate Defying Pavilion. But don't forget the lesson of the Clear Sky Sect!"
Yang Wudi nodded. "I've already discussed it with the Pavilion Master. From now on, we only need to focus on refining medicine and cultivating, and we don't need to get involved in the struggles between the major forces. He protects the safety of our entire clan, and we will contribute to the Fate Defying Pavilion. It's a fair trade."
The elder pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily. "Very well! Since the clan leader has made up his mind, I agree to join the Fate Defying Pavilion!"
"I agree! As long as our Breaking Clan can survive, and our clan leader can break through to the Titled Douluo, I have no objections!"
"I agree!"
"Agree!"
In just a few breaths, all the members of the Breaking Clan in the hall raised their hands to vote and agreed to join the Fate Defying Pavilion.
