Tang Xiao: Declare War on Spirit Hall! Declare War on the Worship Hall! Declare War on the Star Luo Empire! Declare War on...
"Are you kidding me?!"
As the first to sign up, Tang San was also the first to enter the instance.
He had no combat power at all. He had only a mecha, and could do nothing but watch Ultraman Saga and Legendary Hyper Zetton battle in the distant city.
How was he supposed to fight that?!
He couldn't even ram it with his head! The instance conditions also said he couldn't die.
Tang San could only conclude:
There was no way anyone could clear this instance!
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San's expression, which was as miserable as if he'd eaten shit, and asked Zhu Zhuqing:
"Zhuqing, when did Third Brother get so bold? He actually signed up for an instance that's clearly impossible to clear."
Zhu Zhuqing spread her hands and shook her head with a sigh.
"Who knows? Maybe Third Brother's a masochist."
But just then, Dai Mubai, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly chimed in.
"Zhuqing, that's not fair. The fact that Little San dared to enter means he has confidence. Let's see how he'll win back some pride for us people of Douluo."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing said nothing more.
They simply watched the Sky Screen in silence. They wanted to see how Tang San would clear an instance with hellish difficulty.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect.
When the Clear Sky Sect disciples, the elders, and Tang Xiao saw Tang San sign up, they immediately beamed with delight.
"It's Tang San! He actually entered the instance!"
"He signed up even faster than that Ultraman Ginga. Looks like Tang San is absolutely confident he can clear it this time."
"Today is the day our Clear Sky Sect steps back into the world!"
Tang Xiao gazed at the Sky Screen with satisfaction, too.
"As expected of Hao's son. Not only is his talent extraordinary, his ingenuity is heaven-defying as well. He must have a plan for an instance this desperate."
Tang Hao, recuperating somewhere, also watched Tang San on the Sky Screen with pride.
"As expected of my son!"
Ah Yin smiled and echoed his words from beside him.
At the same time, a group of elders rose to their feet and proposed:
"It's time for our Clear Sky Sect to return to the world! Even if Ultra Warriors guard Spirit Hall, Tang San will surely stand undefeated once he obtains the Shield of Baraji. Spirit Hall won't be able to throw its weight around for much longer."
One particularly hot-tempered elder immediately proposed:
"I suggest that our Clear Sky Sect announce its return now and unite every sect on Douluo Continent to immediately wage war on Spirit Hall!"
More than half the elders raised their hands in agreement.
"Right! We should declare war on Spirit Hall at once!"
Quite a few disciples outside the main hall voiced their support as well.
Seeing that the tide had turned, Tang Xiao had no reason to refuse.
The Clear Sky Sect and the other factions had already planned to do this; the Sky Screen's appearance had merely interrupted them.
Besides, he trusted Tang San. He believed his son must have a sure plan.
There was also a good chance Ultraman Ginga wouldn't interfere in a war among the people of Douluo.
So he nodded and said:
"Then send alliance declarations to every sect and empire. Write..."
Inside the Reception Room.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stared at Tang San on the Sky Screen in confusion.
"Tang San? What did he go in there for? Does he have a way to break the deadlock?"
Bibi Dong asked, puzzled.
Qian Renxue thought it over and decided it was possible.
"Very likely. The Sky Screen has already shown the conditions and the setting. Tang San wouldn't have signed up so quickly if he weren't confident."
Xiao Che was confused, too.
By rights, he should have been the only one to sign up for this instance.
And he'd signed up almost immediately, yet Tang San had still beaten him to it.
Could God King Tang really have some unknown method?
No, that couldn't be right! It hadn't been mentioned in Douluo Continent.
Xiao Che could only keep watching for now. There was no need to rush.
He was certain he could succeed. The question was what method Tang San would use.
Gu Yuena didn't have any particular thoughts about Tang San. She was just struck by how difficult the instance was.
She turned to Xiao Che and asked:
"My lord, is there really a way to clear this instance? No matter how many humans there are, they're nothing but a burden to an Ultra Warrior. They'll only give the opponent openings and opportunities."
Xiao Che calmly took a sip of tea.
"That's hard to say, but there is indeed a way to clear it."
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both looked at Xiao Che.
The instance's story was completely different from what the Sky Screen had shown, yet Xiao Che had managed to come up with a solution in such a short time.
They were genuinely impressed.
Tang San might have signed up for some other reason, but Xiao Che had signed up because he was absolutely certain he could do it.
As expected of someone who could become an Ultra Warrior's Human Host.
His ingenuity truly was heaven-defying!
Just then, a servant knocked on the Reception Room door.
"Your Holiness the Pope, Great Enshrined, the Clear Sky Sect has sent a letter. Please read it."
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue let the servant in and asked him to read the letter from the Clear Sky Sect aloud.
"...Today, the Clear Sky Sect will return to the world and declare war on Spirit Hall, the Worship Hall, and all factions that refuse to cooperate!"
Xiao Che nearly lost it when he heard that.
He almost spat out the tea he'd just sipped.
"Good grief! Is Tang Xiao the reincarnation of Cixi?! Are the other elders her clones or something?"
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, however, spoke with disdain.
"They're trying to force the other factions to join their war against us. Is Tang San the Clear Sky Sect's trump card? Let them come."
"I'd like to see which factions would agree."
Xiao Che glanced at the two of them, then warned them:
"Just so we're clear, I won't interfere in a war between people of Douluo Planet."
The two women nodded together. They'd watched the Sky Screen with Xiao Che for so long; how could they not know what Ultra Warriors were like?
First, they weren't afraid themselves. Second, even if Xiao Che didn't get involved, as long as he remained seated in Spirit Hall and the Worship Hall, which faction would be foolish enough to declare war?
So nearly every reply the Clear Sky Sect received was a refusal.
Only the Heaven Dou Empire and four subordinate sects agreed.
But most likely, Xue Beng had only agreed because Tang San was his teacher.
Tang Xiao hadn't expected so many sects to be cowards. He spoke angrily:
"If that's how it is, don't blame me! Declare war on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Declare war on the Star Luo Empire!"
At the same time, Tang San on the Sky Screen finally made a move.
[Tang San climbed into the mecha and piloted it toward Legendary Hyper Zetton.]
"Tang San's making his move!"
The Clear Sky Sect watched Tang San with eager anticipation.
What method would he use to help Ultraman Saga?
But reality always had a way of defying expectations.
Tang San rammed straight into Legendary Hyper Zetton and died on the spot.
The Sky Screen displayed the result: Tang San had failed the challenge.
"What?!"
The elders and Tang Xiao sprang to their feet in shock.
"What was Tang San thinking?! If he couldn't win, why did he even go in?!"
A disciple nearby looked awkwardly at Tang Xiao, then timidly asked:
"Then, Sect Master, should we still declare war?"
Tang Xiao was so angry he could barely speak.
"Declare what? We're not doing it!"
Inside the Reception Room.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were speechless.
They'd thought Tang San would pull off some dazzling move, but it turned out he'd just gone in for the experience.
Xiao Che shook his head, too. It seemed he'd overestimated God King Tang after all.
But after Tang San failed, he immediately turned into a ball of light and entered the Sky Screen as well.
