102: Chapter 102 A Five-Year Agreement: Will Sect Leader Tang Dare to Accept It?
Although the voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, the plaza was serene and quiet, and since everyone present was a Spirit Master of considerable strength, they could naturally hear it clearly.
The next moment.
At the location where the members of the Clear Sky Sect were positioned, Tang Hao stood up abruptly, looked at the surrounding Spirit Masters, and explained loudly:
"It is not like that. When my grandfather, Tang Chen, fought against the Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu, today, he already had significant injuries."
"My grandfather, Tang Chen, is by no means weaker than the Spirit Hall's Angel Douluo, Qian Daoliu; he is even superior. This battle, the Angel Douluo won dishonorably."
Having just seen Tang Chen defeated, Tang Hao felt as if struck by lightning, but then he thought of his grandfather's injuries from his trip to the sea.
Tang Hao felt that it must have been because of those injuries that Qian Daoliu was able to luckily defeat his grandfather. Otherwise, in his prime state, his grandfather would definitely have been the superior one.
Hearing Tang Hao's words, the crowd also turned their eyes toward Tang Chen in the center of the plaza, wanting to hear his explanation.
Among them was, naturally, Qian Daoliu. Before the battle started, he had felt that Tang Chen's strength was weaker than usual; so it was because he was suffering from serious injuries.
However, even if Tang Chen had been in his peak state, Qian Daoliu would still have had the confidence to defeat him, though it would not have been as easy as it was today.
At the same time, what made Qian Daoliu quite curious was, who had caused Tang Chen such serious injuries?
Tang Chen's combat power was definitely not weak. If he went all out and risked his life, using Ring Explosion and the Great Sumeru Hammer, even he would find it quite troublesome and would not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
A powerhouse who stood on the same level as him had actually been seriously injured; it seemed there were truly many hidden powerhouses in this world.
Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the mysterious powerhouse who seriously injured Tang Chen. Besides these, he wondered if there were other terrifying powerhouses in this world.
Seeing the gazes cast upon him, Tang Chen retracted the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then spoke slowly:
"That is correct. Before fighting Qian Daoliu today, I was indeed suffering from serious injuries."
"These injuries date back to when I went out to sea to hunt Spirit Beasts. At that time, I encountered a terrifying whale-type Spirit Beast in the ocean, and its strength was extremely formidable."
"I engaged it in battle, but I never expected that the Spirit Beast's strength would far exceed my imagination, and I was seriously injured by it as a result."
After Tang Chen finished speaking, Yun Yuan, who was not far away, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
"A whale-type Spirit Beast?"
There was no other Spirit Beast in the ocean capable of seriously injuring Tang Chen besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
What Yun Yuan had not expected was that Tang Chen's luck would be so terrible, encountering this bane on the ocean.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a Spirit Beast approaching a million years in age; in terms of strength, it was the second strongest Spirit Beast on the Douluo Planet.
As for the number one Spirit Beast, in Yun Yuan's view, it was still Di Tian. Although Di Tian only had 800,000 years of cultivation, which could not compare to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's million years, he possessed the Dragon God Claw.
The Dragon God Claw had a strong suppressive effect on Spirit Beasts, equivalent to a higher-level Spirit possessor facing a lower-level Spirit possessor.
Seeing that Tang Chen had finished explaining, the members of the Clear Sky Sect, who had an extremely strong competitive Spirit, hurriedly spoke up in agreement:
"Our Clear Sky Sect Sect Master's strength is heaven-defying; he is absolutely not inferior to the Spirit Hall's Qian Daoliu."
"That's right. The two mountains of the Spirit Master's world—our Sect Master is worthy of this title."
...
Regarding the outside world's evaluation, Qian Daoliu only shook his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on his Face, and he did not pay it any mind.
Within ten years, he believed that his grand-disciple Yun Yuan would be able to stand at the pinnacle of the Spirit Master's world. By then, whether the Spirit Master's world had one mountain or two would have no meaning.
Furthermore, his personality was naturally indifferent, especially after retreating to the Elder Hall; he had almost reached the point of ignoring worldly affairs and no longer cared much about fame and fortune.
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu wanted to end this farce caused by Tang Chen as soon as possible.
He looked at Tang Chen, and extremely overbearing words were spoken.
"Tang Chen, you have just been defeated by me. Do not pester about the Breaking Clan matter, otherwise, do not blame me for being impolite."
Hearing this, Tang Chen sighed and nodded slightly.
"Qian Daoliu, I have lost. I will naturally not bring up the matter of the Breaking Clan again."
After saying this, he walked back toward the location of the Clear Sky Sect, wanting to take the members of the Clear Sky Sect and leave Spirit City as soon as possible.
Having been miserably defeated by Qian Daoliu today in Spirit City in front of many forces from the continent already made him feel humiliated; why continue to stay here?
Thinking of the improvement in Qian Daoliu's strength, Tang Chen had the thought of handing over the position of Sect Master to Tang Zhen, and then concentrating on his Cultivation to strive to catch up with Qian Daoliu's pace again as soon as possible.
"Wait!"
Just at this moment, Yun Yuan's voice came out slowly, causing everyone's gaze to focus entirely on him.
Tang Chen also turned his head, his eyes staring fixedly at the Hall Master of the Pill Hall who had poached the Breaking Clan, wanting to see what exactly Yun Yuan intended to do.
"Sect Master Tang, you came to Spirit City this time, first causing trouble unreasonably, then challenging my Grandmaster Qian Daoliu, but you were miserably defeated by my Grandmaster. In the end, you just want to wash your hands of it and take your Clear Sky Sect members away safely."
"Where do you place my Spirit Hall? Relying on your cultivation as a super Douluo and your relationship as both friend and foe with my Grandmaster, you have repeatedly offended my Spirit Hall. For these actions, Sect Master Tang must give my Spirit Hall an explanation."
As soon as Yun Yuan's words fell, one could see Tang Chen's Soul Power released from his body, pressing toward Yun Yuan, but the next moment, Qian Daoliu's Angel Soul Power blocked Tang Chen's pressure on Yun Yuan.
"Kid Yun Yuan, what do you want?"
Tang Chen's cold words were spoken. Even Qian Daoliu had no objections, yet a junior was actually repeatedly lecturing him; did he really think Tang Chen had no temper?
On the side, Qian Daoliu also looked toward Yun Yuan, his eyes showing some surprise. His grand-disciple's personality seemed a bit overbearing; even he in his younger days was far inferior to the current Yun Yuan.
However, regarding Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu did not want to pressure him too much. He did not know how Tang Chen viewed him, but he truly regarded Tang Chen as a friend.
Then, he used his own vast Mental Energy to transmit his voice to Yun Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, too much is as bad as too little. Tang Chen and I have some friendship; today he was miserably defeated by me, which has already greatly damaged his Face."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuan sighed, feeling pity for his Grandmaster. What a pity, his heart was misplaced, and he had befriended the wrong person.
Qian Daoliu treated Tang Chen as a friend, but Tang Chen did not treat Qian Daoliu as a true friend; in his heart, he even vaguely looked down on Qian Daoliu, believing that Qian Daoliu's kindness was cowardice.
However, since his Grandmaster had spoken, Yun Yuan naturally would not slight Qian Daoliu's Face. The idea of demanding compensation from the Clear Sky Sect gradually dissipated, but in his heart, he felt even more that it was not worth it for Qian Daoliu.
Secretly nodding toward Qian Daoliu to indicate that he understood, Yun Yuan looked at Tang Chen, his eyes carrying a trace of imperceptible killing intent.
"Sect Master Tang, I can choose not to hold you accountable for offending my Spirit Hall today, but I want to set a five-year agreement with you."
"Five years from now, I, this Saint of Spirit Hall, will battle you, the Clear Sky Douluo."
"In this battle, we will decide not only the victor but also life and death. Do you dare to accept, Sect Master Tang?"
