One of the favors he was showing was that, in front of Tang Xiao, his lips moved, and he said a few words to the Seventh Elder using the sound transmission technique.
Upon receiving the transmission, the Seventh Elder frowned but still nodded subtly, indicating he understood.
"Esteemed Elders, please."
Tang Xiao made a gesture of invitation before leading the way out of the sect.
Over a hundred disciples of the sect, led by the Tang Xiao siblings and five elders, exited the sect and arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Tang San looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar cliff shrouded in mist and the thick iron chain bridge. His vision flickered, as if he remembered his previous life.
"Brother."
Noticing Tang San's daze, Tang Sui called out softly. Tang San came back to his senses, took a deep breath, the reminiscence in his eyes faded, and finally solidified into determination.
Although the location was similar, and he was also being tested and forced by elders with the surname Tang, this time, at least, he could fight for survival with his strength, rather than only being able to prove his innocence through death!
The Seventh Elder looked at the siblings, said nothing, and with a wave of his wide sleeve, a strong gust of wind erupted, scattering the mist before him.
He tapped the ground with one foot and floated out, landing on the iron chain bridge fifty meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Clang, clang."
The iron chain bridge, swaying in the wind, made dangerous clanging noises. Yet, he stood on the bridge as if walking on flat ground, not swaying with its movement, nor did the entire chain show any unusual undulations under his weight.
He stood with his hands behind his back, with misty clouds beneath him. If one disregarded his face, which looked as if you owed him a million spirit coins, the scene could be described as an immortal descending to earth.
Tang San, who took in the scene, his gaze sharpened slightly. He looked at Tang Sui with concern and said in a low voice, "Sui Sui, you must be careful."
"It is we who must be careful." Tang Sui stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with her brother. Her clear blue eyes reflected the Seventh Elder's tall and ethereal figure. "He is a Titled Douluo."
Upon hearing this, Tang San was stunned. Even though they were two or three meters apart, the Second Elder and Tang Xiao, whose hearing was excellent, were also startled and wore expressions of astonishment.
Before the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, the world only knew of the Clear Sky's Twin Stars: Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, two Douluos from the same sect. The Seventh Elder and others only broke through to become Titled Douluos after the Clear Sky Sect went into hiding. How could Tang Sui possibly know this?
Tang Xiao looked at Tang Yuehua, only to see Tang Yuehua also looking surprised. Clearly, she had not told Tang Sui that the Clear Sky Sect had more than just Tang Hao and Tang Xiao as Twin Douluos.
The Second Elder's evaluation of Tang Sui couldn't help but rise again.
Although this little girl claimed to be a support-type spirit master, she didn't seem like a purely support-type.
The Seventh Elder, whose strength was revealed by Tang Sui, raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and no longer feigned profundity. With a wave of his right hand, a black Clear Sky Hammer materialized in his right hand.
Unlike Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, his had no patterns and was entirely black.
"Buzz—"
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
Nine spirit rings quietly hovered above his Clear Sky Hammer, proclaiming his undisputed Titled Douluo strength.
"I am ranked seventh, and my title is Blazing Sun. Little girl, since you already know my strength, do you still want me to use forty percent of my power?" the Seventh Elder asked, tilting his chin slightly.
Tang Sui and Tang San exchanged a glance. The latter then leaped up. Without any ostentatious movements, he landed nimbly on the iron chain bridge. Using the ice and the momentum of his sprint, he slid to stop about thirty meters from the Seventh Elder and cupped his fists towards him:
"No, on the contrary, my sister and I are honored to challenge you, Blazing Sun Douluo. Please use forty percent of your strength as originally planned. How about we determine the winner by who leaves the distance between the two mountains, with the loser being the one who falls behind?"
The Seventh Elder snorted through his nose, which was considered agreement. He then looked at Tang Sui, who was leisurely stepping onto the head of the iron chain and had moved about half a meter, showing no intention of moving further. His eye twitched slightly.
She truly stood at a distance befitting a support spirit master.
However, it was merely her own cleverness!
Seeing Tang Sui's tentative steps, which were the opposite of her previous aggressive demeanor and could be considered cowardly in a way, many people's mouths twitched, and they felt speechless.
So, this girl was actually just a paper tiger?
Tang San seemed to disregard the dangerous distance, from which he could easily be knocked off the "battle platform" with a sudden attack. Black light surged in his left hand, and the Clear Sky Hammer, entwined with strange patterns and crackling with lightning, appeared in his hand.
But that wasn't all.
After Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, purplish-black mist materialized and coiled around him. The sharp tips of his Eight Spider spirit bone pierced the air, emitting a faint, sweet scent that distorted the very air.
Two yellow, one purple, two black.
The proportion of a fourth ring from a ten-thousand-year spirit, impossible for ordinary people, became evident, and the crowd, numb from shock, watched again.
"Tang San, level fifty-nine Control System Battle Spirit King, requesting guidance!"
Level fifty-nine! External spirit bone!
The Second Elder's eyes twinkled. He stroked his white beard. "Did the Sect Master know long ago that Tang San had an external spirit bone?"
Tang Xiao, standing at the front with his back to the Second Elder, curved his lips slightly before quickly regaining his composed sect leader demeanor, as if he had seen it all before. "This is one of his three spirit bones."
"Three?!" The Second Elder's pupils contracted again.
The conversation between the two was not loud, but everyone present had a considerable level of strength. Even the Seventh Elder, facing Tang San, was taken aback. He hadn't expected Tang San's spirit power level to have reached the peak of Spirit King, bordering on Spirit Emperor, and even possessing an incredibly advantageous external spirit bone!
And two of them...
Even though his spirit power was seven levels lower than his sister's, with the capital he now possessed, he indeed had the qualifications to boast.
The Seventh Elder's face darkened, and he thought with a touch of envy.
If Tang San was like this, then what about Tang Sui, who claimed to be a support-type?
Some gazes quietly shifted to Tang Sui.
Tang Sui smiled but did not hasten to release her spirit rings. She stood there, unguarded, quietly watching this brilliant moment belonging to her brother.
"A bit strange."
A subtle feeling flashed through the Seventh Elder's mind. He calmly said, "Begin."
"Then, Seventh Elder, please be careful!"
Tang San didn't stand on ceremony. As the last syllable fell, a dense white light erupted from him. Without hesitation, he activated his Slaughter Domain, his footwork incredibly swift. He swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and together with the dense killing intent that rushed to the Seventh Elder's face in an instant, he attacked!
The Seventh Elder smiled calmly, raised his Clear Sky Hammer, and black light flashed, enveloping his body. Tang San's solidified, ferocious killing intent was completely blocked outside the black light, unable to penetrate even half a step further! Sudangxiao.com
Tang San was startled, and his understanding of the power gap between himself and the Seventh Elder became even more profound.
"Kid, are you tickling me?"
The Seventh Elder sneered, swung his Clear Sky Hammer, easily blocked Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer, and along with Tang San himself, was pushed back several meters by the imposing aura of the Clear Sky Hammer.
