Clear Sky Secret Arts

"Aside from the challenge, state any other demands you have all at once!"

Qian Xunji cast a cold gaze toward Tang Hao.

Things had reached this point; if she still couldn't see that the other party had ulterior motives, she would truly be a fool.

Although she did not know what the true objective of the Clear Sky Sect was.

But the current Qian Xunji was extremely confident; she possessed absolute, supreme confidence that she could crush him.

"Miss Qian Xunji, greetings."

"My name is Tang Hao, the future heir of the Clear Sky Sect."

"You might not remember, but we have met before. It's just that back then, you were already peerless and magnificent, while I was merely a child who knew nothing."

"But that encounter was etched deeply into my mind, and I developed feelings of admiration for you."

"The reason I have worked so hard to cultivate is precisely so that one day I could stand before you. Now, I have succeeded."

"Today's challenge is not only to witness your grace, but also to propose to you."

"I hope you can agree; if I win, give me a chance to pursue you."

"..."

Tang Hao spoke these words with great awkwardness; these lines were naturally thought up by his elder brother, Tang Xiao.

To say such things in front of so many people was deeply humiliating for Tang Hao.

But for the sake of his grandfather's goal, and to lure this woman back to the Clear Sky Sect, he had no choice but to do so.

"So, this is the scheme you were plotting?"

"Are you going to take it a step further next and make a wager with me, saying that if you defeat me with strength inferior to mine, I must enter into a marriage contract with you?"

The look in Qian Xunji's eyes as she stared at Tang Hao was filled with chill.

She loathed this fellow from the bottom of her heart.

The main reason was simply that he was too ugly.

From the very first glance, she had disliked him.

In truth, Tang Hao was not ugly.

On the contrary, he possessed a rugged, masculine air.

However, in Qian Xunji's eyes, this was ugliness.

She preferred the refined, not the coarse.

As for why she had exposed Tang Hao's objective in one sentence, it was naturally because Golden Crocodile Douluo had just informed her via voice transmission.

Over these past few days, Martial Soul Hall had naturally been investigating the intentions of the Clear Sky Sect. Although they didn't know the specific details, they had still uncovered quite a lot.

Combined with Tang Hao's recent remarks, Golden Crocodile Douluo had formed a hypothesis and used this opportunity to bluff the other party.

"This..."

Tang Hao had not expected that Qian Xunji would actually know their objective.

With things having reached this point, he truly didn't know how to continue the performance.

At this moment, Tang Chen was also stunned.

He hadn't even employed his methods yet, and this daughter of Qian Daoliu had directly laid bare everything. It seemed there was no point in continuing.

"I can give you this chance!"

"If you win by defeating the strong with the weak, I can become your wife, and it is not impossible for me to marry into your Clear Sky Sect. But what if you lose?"

"For this, what kind of wager has your Clear Sky Sect prepared?"

"Or is it that your Clear Sky Sect hasn't prepared any wager at all?"

"In that case, what do you take me, the Pope, for?"

Between her words, the chill radiating from Qian Xunji grew even more intense.

Her eyes were filled with endless killing intent and sharpness.

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy.

The many elders of Martial Soul Hall stepped forward one after another, demonstrating their stance.

Even Qian Daoliu displayed his displeasure at this moment.

If Tang Chen's grandson wanted to marry his daughter, he could come openly and honestly; as long as his daughter liked him, he would have no objections.

The only things that would need to be discussed were the issues of matrilocality versus marriage.

But at this moment, the other party was using such underhanded tactics to scheme; what kind of logic was that?

He had always regarded Tang Chen as a brother.

All along, he had also believed that Tang Chen regarded him as a brother.

But through today's events, Qian Daoliu saw the general picture.

Perhaps, it was more of his own wishful thinking.

"I wonder what the Pope desires?"

Having reached this point, Tang Hao could only brace himself and push forward.

Moreover, his grandfather had just sent him a voice transmission, giving him a bit more confidence.

"As the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, the Clear Sky Sect cannot produce anything of equal value to me."

"Since that is the case, I shall take a slight loss and trade for your Clear Sky Sect's inherited ultimate arts."

"If you defeat me, let alone becoming your wife, I would even be willing to be your concubine."

"If you lose, leave the Clear Sky Sect's inherited ultimate arts here."

Qian Xunji spoke in a cold voice.

Her father cared about his reputation, but she did not.

Besides, she was merely a woman; even if word of today's events spread, who would say anything?

At most, they would call her petty and arrogant.

What did that matter?

The benefits obtained were the only things that truly mattered.

"Impossible!"

Hearing Qian Xunji mention the Clear Sky Sect's inherited ultimate arts, Tang Hao refused immediately.

Not only that, but the others from the Clear Sky Sect also glared fiercely at Qian Xunji.

They looked ready to strike at the slightest disagreement.

The achievements and prestige their Clear Sky Sect possessed today were all due to the ultimate arts created by Tang Chen.

This was the root of their heritage, and it could absolutely not be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders.

"Agreed!"

Just at this moment, Tang Chen spoke up.

However, his gaze was fixed on Bibi Dong, who stood beside Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Although he did not have absolute certainty, he could roughly deduce that the heritage Qian Xunji was demanding likely had something to do with that little one called Bibi Dong.

After all, the other party's previous attitude clearly indicated they wanted them to voluntarily offer a corresponding wager.

The sudden clarification of direction and goals had only been decided after that little one approached Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Knowing full well that they coveted the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate arts, Tang Chen still chose to use them as a wager for a reason.

On one hand, these Clear Sky Sect ultimate arts were derived from his own Clear Sky Hammer martial soul; if an outsider obtained them but did not possess a Clear Sky Hammer, they would be unable to cultivate them at all.

Even if they obtained them, they would be unable to use this secret technique to find a corresponding method of breaking it.

If it truly came to it, he could simply modify the crucial parts later.

Of course, there was another key reason for this, which was to display them for Qian Daoliu to see.

Once that little girl Qian Xunji had exposed their intentions, the Clear Sky Sect had fallen into a passive position.

They had already incurred the displeasure of that old man Qian Daoliu; although he did not care about Qian Daoliu, he was still aware of the situation.

The current Clear Sky Sect's foundation was completely inferior to that of Martial Soul Hall.

A falling out would bring them no benefits and might instead cause turmoil within the Clear Sky Sect.

Beyond that, there was Tang Chen's own self-confidence.

Although he could vaguely sense that Qian Xunji had reached a certain realm—presumably with Qian Daoliu's help in concealing it—he could be certain that no matter how strong Qian Xunji was now, she was at most a Soul Douluo.
