Upon seeing the location Tang San had chosen for the competition, Qi Ling couldn't help but inwardly applaud. As expected of her younger brother, his skill in showing off was truly masterful!
The iron chain contest high in the sky, putting aside everything else, at the very least, is incredibly impressive, no less so than the epic battles of martial arts masters at the Forbidden City. It wins in terms of sheer scale and grandeur.
Tang San's choice to compete here was naturally based on his own considerations. His agility far exceeded others' expectations, so the iron chains actually became his advantage.
Just before Tang San was about to begin his match with the Seventh Elder, Tang Xiao and the Second Elder had a debate about whether or not Tang San should be allowed to return to the sect after the match.
As the conversation reached its climax, Tang Xiao took out two magical treasures he had prepared: one was the two sect Soul Bone that Tang San had brought back, and the other was Qi Ling.
Everyone was already well aware of Qi Ling's power, so when Tang Xiao brought Qi Ling to the forefront, the elders had to consider whether it was better to add such a formidable enemy to the sect or to gain a powerful ally.
After hearing Tang Xiao's words, the Second Elder began to seriously consider this relationship. Tang San's performance was already outstanding enough. The return of such a talented young man to the sect would surely bring glory to the Clear Sky Sect.
Now, with Qi Ling added to the mix, there's basically no room for discussion. Qi Ling is already so terrifying; the Second Elder can't even imagine how far he'll grow. If not handled properly, he could very well bring about the annihilation of the Clear Sky Sect!
After reaching an agreement that satisfied everyone, the Second Elder said, "In that case, the other conditions will be as you wish, Sect Master. However, if Tang San can truly defeat the Seventh Elder, I have three other requests."
"Of course, please rest assured, Sect Master. My three requests are not excessive, and everything they are for the good of the sect!"
At this point, the Second Elder had essentially agreed to Tang San's request. As for the three conditions, they were simply requirements for Tang San, and were quite easy to fulfill.
Thus, the contest between Tang San and the Seventh Elder officially began. Although the Seventh Elder's third ring was sealed, he was still a genuine Titled Douluo, and his strength should not be underestimated. Tang San was also very cautious.
Even though the Seventh Elder used all his skills, he couldn't even use his Martial Soul Avatar this time. How could he be a match for Tang San? Before long, he was already showing signs of defeat. In the end, he was knocked off the cliff by Tang San Tang San, who had to use his flying skills to pull him up.
After that, the Seventh Elder was completely convinced of his defeat. He not only apologized to Tang San in person, but also warmly welcomed Tang San's return.
After announcing his agreement to Tang San's return, the Second Elder said, " Tang San, since things have come to this, we agree to your return, but we require you to do three things for the sect!"
"As long as you do these three things well, not only can you be recognized as a member of your clan, but even your father can return to the sect and join you in paying respects to the former sect leader!"
This condition was undoubtedly extremely important to Tang San, because it was exactly his father's long-held wish, and today he finally had the opportunity to realize it. How could he not be excited?
"Okay, I agree!" Tang San said.
The Second Elder smiled calmly and said, "Since that's the case, the three things I'm about to do are for your own good, and we're giving you a long deadline—you just need to complete them within ten years."
"The first thing we want you to do is break through level 80 in Soul Power and become a Soul Douluo within ten years! Can you do it?"
Tang San thought about it. Although it sounded difficult, it wasn't an impossible task for him, so he decided to agree.
But just as he was about to speak, Qi Ling suddenly interrupted, "A Soul Douluo? Old man, who are you looking down on! In ten years, my brother will definitely be able to upgrade to Titled Douluo!"
Upon hearing this, even Tang San was surprised. Was he really that powerful? How come he didn't know?
"Alright, since that's the case, then let's change it to Titled Douluo!" The Second Elder said with secret delight, "The second matter is that within ten years, I want you to bring back the head of a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall! No matter what method you use, I only care about the result."
Tang San's pupils contracted. Killing a Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall was no easy feat, but it wasn't impossible either.
He was about to speak again, but Qi Ling interrupted him once more, saying, "Only one? Old man, who are you looking down on! Within ten years, you'll see ten Titled Douluo heads from the Spirit Hall!"
Tang San stared at his elder brother, speechless with astonishment. Those were ten Titled Douluo, not ten pigs! They were just killed like that?
"Good, indeed heroes emerge from among the young; I was short-sighted." The Second Elder smiled with satisfaction. "As for the third matter, I require that you obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring when you reach your Eighth Soul Ring!"
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Upon hearing this request, Tang San was taken aback again. The rarity of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was self-evident; even his father only had one. How could such a thing be so easy to obtain?
However, Tang San glanced at Qi Ling beside him, thinking that his older brother had already obtained Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring when he got his Fifth Soul Ring, right?
This time, Tang San was smarter and didn't speak, but waited for his older brother to agree for him.
Sure enough, Qi Ling said, "Only the Eighth Soul Ring? Old man, who are you looking down on! Just you wait and see, by the time my brother gets his Seventh Soul Ring, he'll have his first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" the Second Elder said with a beaming smile. "If Tang San can truly fulfill these conditions, not only can he return to the sect, but these two Soul Bone will also be his!"
"Moreover, that's not all. We can also elect you, Tang San, as the sect leader to help the Clear Sky Sect regain its glory and fulfill your father's wish! Tang San, only by truly sitting in this position can you truly lead the Clear Sky Sect to glory."
Tang San felt helpless at this moment. The conditions that the Second Elder had mentioned were difficult, but as long as he worked hard enough, everything was within his capabilities and he could basically achieve them.
But now that his older brother has stepped up the challenge, things are different. He not only has to work hard, but he has to work very, very hard.
Seemingly sensing Tang San's mood, Qi Ling put her arm around Tang San shoulder and laughed, "Silly boy, what are you worried about? I'm here for you! If I can say these things, I certainly have the ability to help you achieve them."
Tang San laughed and said, "Alright, big brother, since that's the case, I'll go crazy with you."
"Second Elder, I agree to your conditions. Within ten years, I will raise my Soul Power to the Titled Douluo level, obtain Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring when I get my Seventh Soul Ring, and bring back the heads of ten Titled Douluo the Spirit Hall!" Tang San said. "And after ten years, once I have accomplished all of this, I will return and assume the position of clan leader!"
