So, Qi Ling, Xiao Wu, and the others temporarily stayed at the Clear Sky Sect, because Tang Chen had said that this process would probably last for about three days.
During these three days, Qi Ling stayed in the Clear Sky Sect and enjoyed extraordinary treatment. Although all the elders of the Clear Sky Sect were old enough to be Qi Ling's grandfathers, they were all extremely respectful when they saw Qi Ling.
The reason for this is naturally because Qi Ling's strength has completely won over everyone in the Clear Sky Sect. After all, on that day, Qi Ling easily subdued Tang San, who had fallen into demonic possession, and demonstrated even greater strength than Tang Chen, which completely shocked everyone in the Clear Sky Sect.
With nothing else to do, Qi Ling took the time to instruct the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect members at their training grounds, earning unanimous praise from them.
Qi Ling's first lesson to them was that she would not resist or retaliate in any way, allowing everyone from the Clear Sky Sect to attack with all their might, regardless of what skills they used. As long as they could break through Qi Ling's defenses, they would pass the test.
"Come on, elders, and all the outstanding members of the Clear Sky Sect!" Qi Ling stood before everyone in the Clear Sky Sect and said to them, "You should have heard what I just said, right? Don't hold back, attack as you please!"
"Let me see just how powerful the number one Power Attack System Tool Martial Soul in the world really is! Your Clear Sky Sect is renowned throughout the world for its offensive power; surely you can't even break through my defense alone?"
Although Qi Ling had used a provocation tactic, to be honest, what he said didn't seem wrong at all, especially considering Qi Ling's personality! So what if it's the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world? They might be facing the number one expert in the entire Douluo Continent!
Tang Xiao watched as Qi Ling issued challenges to the Clear Sky Sect members. Apart from him, the sect leader, almost all the Clear Sky Sect members were present. The reason he didn't participate was that he couldn't let Qi Ling wipe out an entire sect, could he? That would be too humiliating.
The Clear Sky Sect members, initially hesitant, began to attack with all their might after realizing that their attacks were completely ineffective against Qi Ling.
Meanwhile, several elders of the Clear Sky Sect each wielded enormous Clear Sky Hammer, several times their own size, and smashed them down fiercely towards Qi Ling!
As the most domineering Tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer's most powerful attack doesn't require any Soul Skill. It only requires pouring all one's Soul Power into the Clear Sky Hammer and then smashing it down to unleash its maximum power.
Under the heavy blows of several people, Qi Ling neither dodged nor evaded, steadily receiving their attacks. However, no matter how they attacked Qi Ling, they could not break through his defenses, and they could not even make Qi Ling dodge slightly.
"The rest of you, don't hold back! I'm not here to watch you cower. Since you're all Power Attack System Soul Master, show some backbone!" Qi Ling shouted. "You don't even dare to lay a hand on an enemy who won't fight back. What else can you possibly do?"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, all the members of the Clear Sky Sect could no longer tolerate it. No matter what, they couldn't let Qi Ling look down on them like that! So, all the members of the Clear Sky Sect with the strength of Soul Saint or above launched their attacks.
Dozens of members of the Clear Sky Sect simultaneously released their Martial Soul Avatar. The scene was truly unique, magnificent, and awe-inspiring. The power they exuded could not be ignored by any force.
However, just because no force can be ignored doesn't mean Qi Ling needs to take them seriously. Looking at so many enormous Clear Sky Hammer, Qi Ling smiled indifferently and said, "Hmm, this is more presentable. At least it has some of the spirit of youthful vigor."
"But with so many of you, it shouldn't be easy for you to hit me, right? There are too many wolves and not enough meat. I think we should do this: to make it easier for you to aim, I'll change my form and let you do it."
Qi Ling then activated his Divine Dragon Emperor Martial Soul, transforming into Divine Dragon. He then lay down on the ground, stretching his body into a straight line, and said, "Alright, I'm ready. Don't hold back, attack!"
The members of the Clear Sky Sect exchanged bewildered glances and tentatively launched a few attacks on Qi Ling. Qi Ling, quite dissatisfied, said, "Hold your strength! You don't even have the power to hit someone, yet you call yourself a member of the Clear Sky Sect?"
So the people of the Clear Sky Sect stopped holding back and launched all sorts of attacks at Qi Ling's dragon body. For a moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and ice and fire clashed, making it quite a lively scene.
As for Qi Ling, despite the fierce blows from dozens of Clear Sky Hammer, he lazily closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Ah, comfortable, this is what I call enjoyment! I haven't had a proper relaxation in a while. This kind of wonderful full-body bone-tapping massage isn't something I can enjoy anytime."
The poor members of the Clear Sky Sect thought their attacks would have some effect, but they only ended up being used as massage tools for Qi Ling! If they knew what Qi Ling was thinking, they would be furious.
After the fierce attack by everyone ended, all the Clear Sky Sect members stopped holding hands, panting heavily, and looked at Qi Ling lying motionless, not knowing what had happened.
Some people thought that Qi Ling had been knocked unconscious by the crowd, so they went to the dragon's head and called out to Qi Ling.
"Hmm? Hmm~ Is it over? Haha~~" Qi Ling opened her eyes and said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, your attacks were really fierce, I was knocked unconscious, haha, haha."
The Clear Sky Sect members were incredibly embarrassed. If you can't lie, then don't lie! Who wakes up yawning after fainting? This is utterly insulting.
"Today's training is over," Qi Ling said to everyone. "Everyone, go back and rest. See you here tomorrow."
After everyone left, Qi Ling sighed helplessly. The Clear Sky Sect was very strong, but now, because they had been secluded for many years, they had lost their fighting spirit and were only relying on the strength of their Martial Soul.
That won't do. Qi Ling still wants to see the Clear Sky Sect emerge from seclusion and shine on the battlefield, so they still need to be given a good talking-to.
The next day, the people of the Clear Sky Sect gathered on time at the training ground, led by several elders, waiting for Qi Ling's arrival.
Every member of the Clear Sky Sect was eager to fight, determined to avenge yesterday's defeat and break through Qi Ling's defenses today.
So when Qi Ling arrived, everyone was eager to try, but Qi Ling suddenly said, "Today's training content is different from yesterday's."
"A qualified Soul Master needs more than just the ability to fight; they also need to know how to take a beating! Only those who stand the longest on the battlefield can become the final victor."
"So today, what you're facing is being beaten!" Qi Ling laughed. "Of course, you can do anything—counterattack, defend, dodge, control. But your only task is: survive!"
