Qian Xunji Challenges the Worship Hall

Qian Xunji Challenges the Worship Hall

The four of them were naturally Tang Zhen, Yu Yuanzhen, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo, who was protecting Ning Fengzhi.

"Ning Fengzhi, why did you call this old man here?"

Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, his temper exceptionally foul. At this Seven Great Sects Re-selection Conference, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had suffered the greatest losses. They had fallen from second among the Upper Three Sects to last place. Everyone present had earned some title as the best in the world, while he alone had gained nothing.

Ning Fengzhi's gentle voice rang out. "Sect Master Yu, don't be impatient. How are Sect Master Tang's injuries?"

"Many thanks to Sect Master Ning for the Thousand-Year Spirit Mushroom. After taking it, my injuries have improved considerably."

Tang Zhen spoke, though his voice was still somewhat weak, and he occasionally coughed dryly.

"Sect Master Tang, Sect Master Yu, I summoned you both this time to discuss a matter concerning the survival of our Upper Three Sects." Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed deeply. "Sect Master Tang, you know as well that ever since Senior Tang Chen departed, the Soul Master world has once again become dominated by Spirit Hall alone."

While Tang Zhen remained silent, Yu Yuanzhen merely snorted again. "So what? Does Spirit Hall dare make a move against my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile. "Sect Master Yu, do you truly not know what kind of realm Rank 99 is?"

"Uncle Sword, you should explain. You have the most authority to speak on this matter."

Sword Douluo's gaze swept over Tang Zhen and Yu Yuanzhen. "Although I am currently only Rank 94, my father told me about what lies beyond Rank 95."

"Surpassing Rank 95 is considered the dividing line among Titled Douluo. Between Ranks 91 and 95, while the gap in Soul Power is not small, it can still be fully compensated for through superior martial souls, Soul Bones, or soul skills. However, if one of two Titled Douluo engaged in battle exceeds Rank 95, the situation changes. A Rank 96 Titled Douluo has twenty percent more Soul Power than a Rank 95 Titled Douluo."

"The Soul Power of a Rank 96 is twenty percent stronger than that of a Rank 95. That is no longer something that martial soul quality, ordinary soul skills, or Soul Bones can make up for. Unless there is a fundamental difference in their soul skills, a Rank 96 Titled Douluo should be able to completely suppress any Titled Douluo below Rank 95."

"The Soul Power of a Rank 97 Titled Douluo is another twenty percent greater than that of a Rank 96 Titled Douluo. In other words, a Rank 97 can completely suppress a Rank 96 Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned grave as well.

Chen Xin continued, "My father told me that, without considering mutual martial soul counters or the restrictions of soul skills, this is indeed the case when considering Soul Power alone. After Rank 95, the difference of one rank is like the distance between heaven and earth. The gap in Soul Power between Rank 97 and Rank 98 reaches thirty percent, while the gap between Rank 98 and Rank 99 reaches an even more terrifying forty percent. In other words, a Rank 99 Titled Douluo can face at least four Titled Douluo below Rank 95 at the same time."

Tang Zhen sighed. "No wonder that no matter how I broke through, I always felt Father was unfathomable. I never expected him to be this powerful!"

Yu Yuanzhen could no longer act arrogant. If Rank 99 was truly that powerful, then if Qian Daoliu made a move, he alone could destroy the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Ning Fengzhi said, "Sect Master Tang, Sect Master Yu, there is no need to be overly nervous. Qian Daoliu is powerful, but if our Upper Three Sects join forces, with Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone, we likewise have four Titled Douluo. With Fengzhi's support, that makes eight Titled Douluo."

"But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is far from my Clear Sky Sect. Sect Master Ning is the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so how would you provide support?"

Tang Zhen asked. Tang Chen had indeed left the Clear Sky Sect a contingency plan. That mountain range had already been mostly transformed. If Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall attacked, they could hide there. But who would be willing to retreat to such a freezing wasteland? The Clear Sky Sect was far too comfortable now.

"That is what Fengzhi wishes to discuss next." Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji, and two Guardian Douluo, but I believe Spirit Hall must also be concealing other Titled Douluo. If Spirit Hall attacks any one of our Upper Three Sects, they certainly cannot mobilize their entire force. They will only dispatch part of their Soul Master legions."

"Fengzhi proposes that, from this day onward, the Upper Three Sects stand united. The Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be as one family. If Spirit Hall makes a move against any of our Upper Three Sects, the other two must immediately provide aid!"

Tang Zhen and Yu Yuanzhen did not hesitate for long before both nodding. They understood that when the lips were gone, the teeth would grow cold. To contend against Spirit Hall, they needed every Titled Douluo of the Upper Three Sects, along with Ning Fengzhi's support. If they remained separated, they could only be defeated one by one.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed. During this time, the Clear Sky Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan truly seemed like one family, frequently visiting one another's sects for gatherings.

Tang Hao spent two years gaining control over Divine Slaughter's Domain and broke through to become a Soul Sage. A thirty-year-old Soul Sage, he was praised by Ning Fengzhi as an insurmountable mountain for the younger generation.

Afterward, Tang Zhen gave Tang Hao the last of the Clear Sky Sect's three Inheritance Soul Bones. His illness had grown increasingly severe, and he did not have many years left to live. Thus, he had Tang Hao and Tang Xiao travel abroad to gain experience, obtain soul rings, broaden their horizons, and improve their cultivation. Once they returned, he would pass down the position of sect master.

Tang Hao was a Soul Sage, while Tang Xiao was a Soul Douluo. With the backing of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, they quickly established themselves in the Soul Master world and were hailed by outsiders as a sect with two Douluo.

Spirit Hall.

After two years of secluded cultivation, Qian Xunji successfully broke through to Rank 94 and arrived at the Worship Hall.

"What exactly have you been messing around with all day? You are now the Pope of Spirit Hall!"

Qian Daoliu reminded him. He truly could not understand what Qian Xunji was thinking. The last time Qian Xunji emerged from seclusion, he had asked for men to hunt soul rings in the Star Dou Great Forest, which was fine. But this time, after emerging from seclusion, he was asking for men to duel.

Qian Xunji said, "Father, you know that after Rank 95, each increase in rank is no longer simply a matter of accumulating Soul Power, but of comprehension. Moreover, because everyone's martial soul is different, what they need to comprehend is different as well. Didn't the previous Sword Douluo constantly seek people to spar with in order to break through, only to ultimately fall to your hands? The uncles of the Worship Hall cannot just bury their heads in training all day. Besides, I also want to cultivate and accumulate combat experience."

Qian Daoliu's hand behind his back slowly clenched into a fist. "Have you always treated this old man's words as nothing but wind? Or do you think the Worship Hall only has this old man?"

"Of course not. With the God Ancestor's power, I could reach Rank 99 even while lying down. But Father, the next generation's Clear Sky Douluo has already appeared in the Clear Sky Sect. In the future, he may cultivate to Rank 99 just like Tang Chen."

"It is one thing for you to lose to Tang Chen, but I cannot possibly lose to Tang Hao, someone from a younger generation than myself."

Qian Xunji tried to persuade him, paying no heed to the veins bulging on Qian Daoliu's forehead.

After this Seven Great Sects Re-selection Conference, Qian Xunji had already thought of no fewer than ten ways to utterly crush the Clear Sky Hammer. But theory was ultimately just theory; it had to be put into practice. Just look at how Kaguya, with her stats maxed out, had been beaten by Naruto and Sasuke until she ran out of chakra.

Was there anyone in the Worship Hall whose fighting style resembled the Clear Sky Hammer? Of course there was: Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo. During the battle at Jialing Pass, he had fought Tang Hao head-on. It was true that he had lost, but had Tang Hao knocked even a single crocodile scale from him?

Even the God-level Netherworld White Tiger could not kill Golden Crocodile. What did Tang Hao's detonation of all nine rings amount to?
