Tang San stepped forward, knelt before Elder Qi, and kowtowed three times heavily, his forehead reddened.
Elder Qi snorted lightly, "Do you think this is enough? Far from it. The adverse impact your father had on Vast Heaven Sect cannot be restored by you alone."
At this moment, Ye Yu said, "Does it count if I join?"
"Hmm?" Elder Qi and the other four Elders were momentarily stunned, not understanding.
Ye Yu continued, "Uncle Hao has been kind to me, and I am here to repay that kindness. I've already pledged to the Sect Leader that if Vast Heaven Sect ever faces trouble, I will help once."
Ye Yu's words made them look at each other, naturally feeling moved.
They knew Ye Yu was extremely talented, and Ye Yu's father was even stronger than Tang Hao; such a promise indeed carried significant weight.
Elder Qi's expression slightly improved.
Tang San stood up, his gaze turning sharp.
"I believe it's not entirely my father's fault for that matter, but my father did err, so I've come to pay his dues. However, for insulting my parents earlier, I must seek justice. Elder Qi, I want to challenge you!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Qi laughed, finding it utterly ridiculous.
"You challenge me? Hahaha, laughable! Do you even know my rank? I became a Titled Douluo two years ago! Now at ninety-first level! Even if I don't use full power against you, you are no match."
Tang San remained fearless, "Even if I am defeated, I would die without regret."
Tang San believed that facing Elder Qi not at full strength, he should have confidence. To gain recognition, he must display his power. When he entered Shrek Academy, he passed Zhao Wuji's test single-handedly, with a significant difference in power level at that time.
Now, his strength has grown even further. Certainly, even with Twin Martial Souls and Dual Domains, there was still no assurance, but he still had Hidden Weapons.
Yet, Elder Qi scoffed, "You're not qualified enough."
On the side, Elder Chang Mei knew Elder Qi had the worst temper and once he acted, it would be terribly dangerous, so he calmly reminded, "Youngsters can have bones of pride, but not arrogance. You are merely a Soul King and want to challenge a Titled Douluo? Hmm, is it disdain for our sect? If you can defeat Tang Long, then you can continue to talk."
Tang Long, the Third Generation Chief Disciple, now at level sixty-five.
They believed that if Tang Long gave his all, Tang San could not possibly be his match.
"If defeating him means I can continue, then fine. However, my condition is, if I beat him, I get to challenge Elder Qi!"
Tang San kept the insult from Elder Qi deeply in mind and was determined to seek justice.
Elder Qi casually said, "Hmm, alright."
This clearly showed he did not believe Tang San could defeat Tang Long.
Tang San stepped forward, opposing Tang Long across ten meters.
Elder Qi reminded, "Tang Long, if you lose, I will confine you for a year."
Tang San said, "Don't hold back."
Tang Long nodded, "Alright. I won't hold back, after all, you are Uncle Tang Hao's son."
Tang Long released his Martial Soul, the Vast Heaven Hammer appeared, and he said solemnly, "Tang Long, level sixty-five Strong Attack Type War Soul Emperor."
Tang San's right hand opened, and lush Blue Silver Grass, like serpents, spread and swirled.
"Tang San, level fifty-eight Control Type War Soul King."
Immediately, Elder Qi said sternly, "His Martial Soul isn't the Vast Heaven Hammer, who let him in?"
Tang Xiao beside them said, "Elder Qi, he has Twin Martial Souls."
The five Elders were surprised, Twin Martial Souls? Just like Bibi Dong's Twin Martial Souls?
Twin Martial Souls are extremely rare, currently they only knew Bibi Dong possessing them.
The Great Elder asked, "How old is he now?"
Tang San replied, "Seventeen."
Suddenly, the surroundings went silent, and the five Elders were astonished.
Seventeen years old, level fifty-eight, Twin Martial Souls, Slaying God Domain.
Such a talent had already surpassed Tang Hao in his prime.
The battle began, with Tang Long's Vast Heaven Hammer shining with black light, the handle three meters long, the hammer massive like a water cylinder, and six Soul Rings arranged in order atop the Vast Heaven Hammer - yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black.
Around Tang San were five Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
The direct disciples and Elders were shaken, seeing the fourth Soul Ring start from ten thousand years, unprecedented!
As the battle started, Tang San planned a swift victory, giving it his all.
The Blue Silver Cage instantly activated, trapping Tang Long, who swung the Vast Heaven Hammer yet couldn't break the Blue Silver Cage, feeling surprised. His Vast Heaven Hammer weighed a thousand jin, along with his Soul Power, this strike had eight thousand jin, yet unable to shatter this Blue Silver Grass, truly resilient.
The Blue Silver Grass had awakened as the Blue Silver Emperor, naturally possessing greater power.
Tang San did not use his earlier Soul Techniques, knowing the Blue Silver Grass thorns couldn't harm Tang Long, for he was the Chief Disciple, his Soul Power seven levels higher than his own.
Thick Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Tang San's arm, the fifth Soul Ring on his body shining with black light. Simultaneously, the Blue Silver Domain activated, blue waves radiating all over Tang San's body, with everyone feeling filled with vibrant vitality.
Elder Chang Mei II was surprised, "Talent Domain."
Five Elders were shocked, possessing two Domains.
The fifth Soul Skill, thousands of Blue Silver Grass converged, while also triggering the Blue Silver Emperor's true potential, and in conjunction with the Blue Silver Domain, the power stronger than any ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.
Tang San's arm turned golden, countless Blue Silver Grass spiraling around, extending in a helical form, getting narrower toward the tip, resembling an electric drill or a spear.
Inside the Blue Silver Cage, Tang Long felt immense pressure, facing such Blue Silver Grass, felt the sharpness, seemingly able to pierce anything.
Tang Long's sixth Soul Ring flashed, preparing his strongest blow.
Whoosh!
Tang San moved, the Blue Silver Grass fiercely pierced upward, spinning rapidly, low shout: "Fifth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
Boom!!
The collision, gold and black light burst dazzling.
Tang Long's fifth Soul Skill couldn't dissipate all the power of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, he retreated a step, quickly swinging the Vast Heaven Hammer like lightning, executing the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
Boom boom boom...
The Blue Silver Cage had shattered, the Vast Heaven Hammer continuously striking the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
As the attack dwindled, Tang San used the Second Soul Skill, Parasite.
As the battle went on, Tang Long kept suffering setbacks, the neurotoxin invaded, causing full-body pain, paralysis, and spasms.
Tang Long gritted his teeth to endure, the battle was intense, but unable to resolve in a short time, as time passed, it grew increasingly unfavorable, after ten minutes, he was defeated.
The direct disciples were shocked, five Elders were astounded, the surroundings silent.
Tang San looked at Elder Qi, "Can I challenge you now?"
Elder Qi said flatly, "You may, but I won't bully you, I'll only use thirty percent of my Soul Power."
At this moment, Ye Yu said, "Once we're done, I want to challenge you too. Then, you'll use your full strength."
Elder Qi was suddenly caught off guard, was it a joke?
Elder Qi didn't say much more, "If one of you can defeat me, I will allow you to recognize your ancestry and return to the sect. But to fully atone, you'll need to agree to three conditions. Either of you can fulfill one."
Ye Yu nodded, "Go ahead."
Tang San took a deep breath, wanting to know what would be asked, surely it would be difficult.
Elder Qi calmly said, "The first task, impossible to complete in a short time, I'll give you a deadline. The first task is, in terms of Tang San, within ten years, your Soul Power must break through eighty-level. For you, within ten years, your Soul Power must surpass eighty-five-level!"
Instantly, the other Elders frowned slightly, direct disciples felt it was impossible.
Both were seventeen, ten years would make them twenty-seven, twenty-seven achieving eighty-five level, this was impossible, even for the youngest Titled Douluo Tang Hao, reaching eighty-five level he was forty.
The direct disciples thought Elder Qi deliberately made it difficult, posing such an unattainable task.
They looked at Ye Yu and Tang San, as expected, Ye Yu was extremely angry.
Ye Yu was indeed furious, frowning deeply, a face full of rage.
Elder Qi faintly smiled, "Hmm, what, do you think it's hard and can't be done? Then, you can give up now."
Ye Yu shouted angrily, "You want me to surpass eighty-five level in ten years? Who the heck do you think you're underestimating!"
"What?"
Hearing Ye Yu's words, all direct disciples, including five Elders, were collectively stunned...
