Tuo Xiqi Was Furious, Tang Chen Was Dumbfounded

A Yin instantly felt that the cake in her hand no longer smelled appealing.

Carefully searching for the source of the scent, A Yin locked onto Tuoba Xi, who had already been roasted by the high temperature in the plaza.

"He actually got cooked. Could it be... that meat from people with dragon martial souls smells even better when roasted?" A Yin began fantasizing, drool streaming from her mouth.

If Tuoba Xi knew that A Yin regarded him as food akin to draconic meat, he would probably die of rage.

Seeing that it was about time, Jiang Qingyu lifted his leg and kicked Tuoba Xi flying.

Tuoba Xi flew backward and rolled several times before coming to a stop. He was in such a sorry state that it was unbearable to look at.

"No, impossible!"

"How can your martial soul have such a temperature?!"

Tuoba Xi could not believe it. His Dao heart was on the verge of shattering.

Jiang Qingyu remained as calm as still water and said coldly, "Nothing is impossible. If you admit defeat, leave now."

"No, I will never admit defeat. Even if I lose, I will lose gloriously!"

Tuoba Xi gritted his teeth.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body!"

The next moment, a massive wingless earth dragon crouched upon the ground. Its thick, snow-white scales resembled solid rock armor. A single horn rose from its forehead, its limbs were powerful, its dragon tail sinewy, and its dark golden vertical pupils gleamed fiercely.

"Take this—Holy Dragon Roar!"

It opened its huge maw as golden-white dragon breath gathered, then instantly spewed forth.

"The Holy Son should use his Martial Soul True Body too, shouldn't he?"

The representatives of the Upper Three Sects all eagerly anticipated the appearance of Jiang Qingyu's Martial Soul True Body.

Tang Hao and Yu Luomian, both of whom had lost to him, were also expectant, but Jiang Qingyu had no intention of satisfying them. If he could win easily, why make such a grand spectacle of it?

Gathering the Dragon God's power, his arm transformed into a golden dragon claw. He raised it above his head. "Dragon God's Claw!"

A colossal dragon claw condensed in the sky, its pressure blanketing the entire venue as though it could blot out the heavens and cover the earth.

The dragon claw swiftly descended. Before Tuoba Xi's dragon breath could even make contact, it instantly deflated.

Tuoba Xi tried to resist, but the pressure was overwhelmingly powerful.

White-armored Earth Dragon: Who exactly are you attacking? I don't want to die!

Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong were both shocked, having been cowed by that pressure as well.

"This is an external soul bone!"

Tang Chen's eyes widened. Then he slapped his thigh in anger. "What a pity! A chance for the Clear Sky Sect to rise!"

While everyone was still shocked and sighing, Tuoba Xi's Martial Soul True Body had already vanished, and his entire body had been embedded in the ground.

"Pfft!" Tuoba Xi spat out a mouthful of blood.

"What the hell? My martial soul went soft?"

Jiang Qingyu walked over to Tuoba Xi.

"Your Highness, Holy Son." Tuoba Xi looked at Jiang Qingyu. His expression remained cold and distant, making him difficult to approach. "You are very strong."

"Are you interested in working for me?" Jiang Qingyu extended an olive branch.

Tuoba Xi froze. "What? Your Highness, Holy Son, you want me to work for you?"

"That's right. If you are willing, come find me at the Consecration Hall after this ends."

Jiang Qingyu spoke indifferently, then turned and left for his seat of honor.

Tuoba Xi was still standing there in a daze when his own father arrived. Without saying a word, he came up and gave him a fatherly slap.

It did not hurt Tuoba Xi at all, but he was still dumbfounded. "Father, why did you hit me?"

"Why didn't you agree when the Holy Son asked you just now? Are you a f****** idiot?"

Tuo Xiqi began cursing furiously.

Agreeing to the Holy Son's request and working for him was the supreme glory of the Holy Dragon Sect. At his age, Tuo Xiqi saw things far ahead. The Holy Son was so young, and his future was bound to be limitless. So long as the Holy Dragon Sect clung tightly to the Holy Son's thigh, its future would be immeasurable.

Yet this unfilial son of his had not agreed. He was furious enough to die.

That was all he could say.

Tuoba Xi was utterly bewildered by the scolding. Before he could explain, Tuo Xiqi grabbed him by the foot and dragged him away.

"You unfilial brat, you're coming with me to see the Holy Son later."

Ning Tianya's feelings were complicated. Jiang Qingyu intended to cultivate people who could work for him. If the Holy Dragon Sect rose to prominence, the status of the Lower Four Sects would begin to change.

The Holy Son's ceremony had reached its conclusion. Yue Guan shouted, "Everyone, please follow me into the banquet hall..."

"Wait!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Chen interrupted.

Everyone turned their eyes toward Tang Chen.

"May I ask what else Sect Master Tang requires?" Yue Guan asked.

"Where is Qian Daoliu? Why have I not seen him? Since the juniors have competed, let them also witness the fighting prowess of the older generation!" Tang Chen said. "Could it be that Qian Daoliu is afraid?"

"That really is a provocation," Ning Fengzhi said.

"There are only two Peerless Douluo on the continent. If your father had that kind of strength, I'd be even more arrogant than him," Ning Tianya said.

"What do you mean by this, Sect Master Tang?"

Qian Xunji questioned him.

Daring to provoke Spirit Hall here was seeking death.

"Your Holiness the Pope, if I am mistaken, then why won't Qian Daoliu come out?"

Tang Chen burst into laughter.

The instant his laughter faded, five terrifying auras erupted from the Consecration Hall.

"Tang Chen, who did you say does not dare to come out?!"

Qian Daoliu's voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Tang Chen sensed the different auras, and his brows furrowed slightly. He immediately leaped into the center of the plaza and said in a deep voice, "Qian Daoliu, stop hiding. If you have the guts, come out and fight!"

"Tang Chen, I do not need Big Brother to deal with you. I alone am enough!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice rang out. Immediately afterward, a golden figure appeared in an instant. It was Golden Crocodile Douluo, with a massive crocodile claw pointed directly at Tang Chen.

The Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Tang Chen's hand as he directly met Golden Crocodile Douluo's attack.

Claw and hammer collided with a deafening boom.

Tang Chen's heart skipped a beat. "You've reached that realm!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo said excitedly, "Naturally. Tang Chen, take this!"

"Third Soul Skill, Berserk Power!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo roared. Golden light radiated from his entire body as his muscles swelled.

He launched another strike. Tang Chen was caught off guard by the blow and staggered several steps backward.

Once Tang Chen steadied himself, everyone sprang up in shock.

What was going on?

Golden Crocodile Douluo had actually forced Peerless Douluo Tang Chen back.

Immediately afterward, the other six consecrates arrived one after another.

Qian Daoliu was smiling broadly. "Tang Chen, where did that arrogant attitude of yours go?"

This felt incredible. A single small immortal herb had improved him so much.

Although he was already a Peerless Douluo, he could feel that he was about to take another step forward.

Moreover, Golden Crocodile Douluo had also reached the pinnacle of the mortal world.

Tang Chen's gaze was icy as he swept it across the seven present, discovering that all seven of them had advanced by one rank.

"Qingyu, is the Second Consecrate reaching Peerless Douluo related to you?"

Bibi Dong immediately grabbed Jiang Qingyu, who was standing below the stage, and questioned him.

"Yes. Otherwise, how do you think you broke through?" Jiang Qingyu replied indifferently.

"Qingyu, I have to say, I truly admire you more and more."

Bibi Dong happily and boldly wrapped her arm around Jiang Qingyu's, tightly trapping his arm between her breasts. Just as Jiang Qingyu was about to pull free, Qian Xunji walked over and patted the shoulder that was being squeezed.

"Qingyu, I truly appreciate you more and more."

"Spirit Hall has gained another supreme expert!"
