Call Me Master

He groaned and slid off the wall, excruciating pain spreading from his chest to every part of his body, but the physical pain ironically made his mind clearer than ever before.

This Xiao Wu definitely has the strength of Peak Douluo.

Just as he was about to grit his teeth and stand up, a bare foot stepped on his head, shoving his face back to the ground.

"The future sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Xiao Wu's voice came from above, tinged with a hint of disdainful laughter, "You can't even withstand one of my punches, yet you want to avenge your brother?"

"Your brother was killed by Qian Xunji, but what did you do? You compromised after being persuaded by a few old men in the council hall."

"You're really something as an older brother."

Although Tang Xiao remained silent, his heart was already in turmoil.

Does this mean that this woman Xiao Wu has been watching him all along?

And yet, among so many people, not a single one noticed her whereabouts.

Xiao Wu withdrew her foot, squatted down, reached out and grabbed his hair, turning his face towards her.

"You humans are truly laughable."

"When a loved one dies, you cry a few times, bury them, and then what? Is that all?"

She shoved his head to the ground, stood up, and said, "If you ask me, you're even worse than us."

Tang Xiao's chest heaved violently; every word she spoke felt like a knife piercing through him.

"What... what do you want?"

Xiao Wu walked to the chair in the center of the room, sat down, and crossed her legs.

The black skirt slipped down above her knees, revealing a section of her snow-white thigh.

She leaned back in her chair. "It's very simple."

"Kneel down and submit to me, and I will give you the power to fight against the Spirit Hall."

Why should you help me?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression changed.

A hint of resentment appeared on that delicate face.

"Because I also hate the Spirit Hall."

"We each get what we want; you take revenge, I collect my debts."

"I give you strength, you give me loyalty."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I won't wait for anyone."

He looked at the girl on the chair; the power that could rival Peak Douluo and the Spirit Hall was right in front of him.

The price was kneeling, the price was submitting to a girl of unknown origin who exuded an aura of resentment and malice.

If he misses this opportunity, tomorrow he will have to lead his entire clan to hide in the deep mountains, never to rise again.

But the sons of the Tang Family would rather die standing than live kneeling.

But if I don't kneel, will my second brother's revenge end like this?

Thinking of this, his knees slowly bent down.

One hand braced against the ground, followed by the dull thud of the other knee hitting the ground.

"I... surrender to you, I need power."

Xiao Wu laughed again, stood up, and walked to Tang Hao.

She raised her foot and stepped on Tang Xiao's head again. "Yes, that's it. Submit to me and be my dog."

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"

At this moment, Tang Xiao had lost all dignity.

Where is the power I need?

Xiao Wu withdrew her foot and gently lifted his chin with her toes, forcing him to look up and meet her gaze.

"I'll give it to you."

She opened her palm, and a small black porcelain bottle appeared out of thin air in her fair hand.

She handed the porcelain bottle to Tang Xiao.

"What is this?" Tang Xiao took it, held the porcelain bottle, and could see a dozen round pills rolling inside through the bottle.

"This is Divine Medicine."

"Taking this will rapidly increase your strength; not only will it make you stronger, but it also has no side effects."

Tang Xiao uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill.

"Really?"

"Try it if you don't believe me."

Tang Xiao held the pill and examined it for a long time.

He didn't know how long he hesitated; two voices were fighting in his head.

One person said this stuff is of unknown origin and shouldn't be eaten.

Another person said, "You've already knelt down and acknowledged God, what is there to hesitate about?"

Finally, he put the pill in his mouth.

The moment it was swallowed, a surge of heat exploded from within, spreading wildly along the meridians to every part of the body.

The force was brutal and domineering, like magma flowing into his veins. Tang Xiao's body suddenly straightened, his back arched, and the muscles on his face twitched violently.

His Soul Power surged wildly within him, shattering the bottleneck of level 88 in an instant. Level 89, Level 90, he finally reached the threshold of becoming Titled Douluo.

The whole process took less than five minutes.

Tang Xiao knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the unprecedented power within him.

It's a breakthrough, just like that.

It used to take him a year and a half to cultivate to the first level, but now, he only needed one pill.

He suddenly looked up at the girl sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, his face full of disbelief.

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"You really didn't... you're not lying to me."

"Oh, I still have this medicine."

Xiao Wu walked up to Tang Hao, bent down, and whispered in his ear, "As long as you listen to me, breaking through to the Peak Douluo won't be a problem."

Tang Xiao looked up at her, his eyes burning with passion.

"It's... Little... Xiao Wu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression suddenly turned cold.

She raised her hand and slapped Tang Xiao across the face.

"You are not worthy to call me by my name. Call me master."

Tang Xiao's face was turned to the side by the blow, leaving a faint red handprint on his cheek.

He was silent for two seconds, then turned his head and lowered it again.

"Yes, Master."

This time, he agreed exceptionally quickly.

Xiao Wu smiled with satisfaction, "In these three days, I need you to use the Divine Medicine to break through to Level 98. I will come to find you then."

As she finished speaking, her figure was enveloped in Black Mist and disappeared into the night.

The room returned to silence, with only Tang Xiao looking down at the small black porcelain bottle in his hand.

The humiliation of kneeling on the ground, having my head stepped on, and calling him "master" was still churning in my chest, but that humiliation seemed so insignificant in the face of the power of the breakthrough.

What does dignity matter?

As long as I can become stronger, as long as I can take revenge, as long as I can destroy the Spirit Hall, I don't care how many times I have to kneel.

Reason is gradually eroded by power.

"Just you wait, Spirit Hall."

Three days later.

During these three days, Tang Xiao went to the Star Dou Forest alone.

He didn't bring any disciples with him; he found a 70,000-year-old Earth Demon Bear deep in the Star Dou Forest all by himself, and ended the battle with just one hammer blow.

The process of that black Soul Ring merging into his body was exceptionally smooth, so smooth that even he himself was somewhat surprised.

After taking the Divine Medicine, not only did his Soul Power surge, but his physique also seemed to have been subtly transformed by some kind of power.

After absorbing the ninth Soul Ring, he took five more pills.

With each pill that went down his throat, a molten heat washed over his meridians, pushing his cultivation level up layer by layer.

Until he stood firmly at the height of level Level 98.

He stood on a rock and looked down at his hands.

Several black lines had appeared on the back of his hand at some point, and his skin was paler than it had been a few days ago. His originally resolute and bright facial features were now shrouded in a faint, sinister aura.

But he didn't notice these changes, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

All he cared about was power.
