Chapitre 489: Fifth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Overlord Spear (2)
The first thing to consider when using spirit abilities in a place like this wasn't injuring the enemy, but rather one's own safety. That Tang San chose this kind of battleground to challenge the seventh elder who was familiar with the iron cable bridge was clearly due to complete confidence in himself.
If not for how he previously oppressively prevailed over Tang Hu, perhaps each person would feel he was arrogant. But now the seventh elder had already declared he would only use forty percent of his spirit power to fight him.
In that case, nobody could tell for sure if he really had a chance.
"Seventh elder, if this contest is my loss, I will immediately leave the Clear Sky School and never return. If you lose, I hope you can withdraw your previous slander of my mother, and simultaneously approve my recognizing my ancestors and clan, how about it?"
Tang San squarely faced the seventh elder, the expression in his eyes clear and sincere.
The seventh elder snorted coldly,
"If you lose, not only will you never return to the sect, you must also return the spirit you inherited from the sect."
Tang San's complexion changed slightly. Just when he was about to reply, sect master Tang Xiao spoke up for the first time:
"Seventh elder, he's only a third generation disciple. Withdrawing his spirit isn't something you and he can decide on."
The seventh elder looked coldly at Tang Xiao,
"Then what do you propose, sect master?"
Tang Xiao spoke in a deep voice:
"It would be better like this. If this contest is won by Tang San, all the elders please don't further obstruct him recognizing his ancestors and clan. I think everyone has already seen Tang San's talent. He's twenty this year, his future prospects could be limitless. Him working wholeheartedly for the sake of the sect would inevitably have an energizing effect on the sect's future development. If he loses he will leave the sect. He may never use the Clear Sky Hammer through his life. As for removing the spirit, there's no need for that. After all, an outstanding genius like him is difficult to find in a hundred years. If his talent was broken due to his strength weakening from losing a spirit, don't tell me that's something you elders want to see? No matter what is said, the blood of our Clear Sky School flows in his veins. This is something you elders can't deny."
Tang Xiao hadn't spoken up before, but did now. And it was just right. Even though the elders could prevent him from letting Tang San recognize his ancestors and clan, as the master of the sect, there was no need to doubt Tang Xiao's authority in the sect. The five elders also had to give him some face.
The seventh elder torned his head to look at the second elder, who calmly said:
"We'll comply with the sect master's words. However, if Tang San truly can defeat old seven, I will still add three extra requirements. Please don't worry, sect master. My three demands can be raised after he recognizes his ancestors and clan. It won't be excessive. Everything is for the sect."
With Tang Xiao's character, seeing the calm gaze in the second elder's eyes, he understood that even if the elders opinions differed from his, they would all still consider the sect. He nodded immediately,
"Fine, like that then. Before the contest, I still have something to declare."
As he spoke, Tang Xiao pulled out the black long case Tang San had delivered from his spirit tool, his face flat as water:
"Tang Hao originally separated himself from the sect, and moreover carried away the sect's two great spirit bones. This time he ordered Tang San return to recognize his ancestors and clan, and also had Tang San bring back these two spirit bones. I think that this is enough to prove his contrition. Otherwise he could completely have kept the two spirit bones, or accorded them to Tang San."
As he spoke, Tang Xiao slowly opened the long black box in front of him. Rich spirit power fluctuations welled out, and within the wild and overbearing aura, two spirit bones appeared before the eyes of the elders and the sect disciples.
Seeing these two spirit bones, the elders were all somewhat stunned, the fury originally contained in their eyes gradually fading.
The second elder sighed,
"Even if he separated himself from the sect, he is after all the son of the old sect master. It seems he didn't forget the sect."
Returning the spirit bones could prove a great many things. Under ordinary circumstances, spirit bones leaving the body meant death.
Even with Tang Hao's cultivation, the elders understood that the appearance of these two spirit bones meant that Tang Hao had at least become a cripple, his strength substantially reduced.
Even though the elders were all extremely angry about the trouble Tang Hao originally brought to the sect, Tang Hao striking down and killing the Supreme Pontiff back then still let everyone know about the power of the Clear Sky Sect. There were even a lot of disciples of the young generation that held Tang Hao as their idol. One of the Clear Sky School's twin sect Douluo, he was without a doubt a towering figure of the present age. But now Tang Hao had sacrificed his formidable strength for the sake of the sect. It was just as the slightly red-eyed sect master Tang Xiao said, what Tang Hao did was enough to prove his sincerity.
Tang Xiao stepped forward with large strides, handing over the long case to the second elder with both hands,
"These two spirit bones are the sect's most valuable assets, I'll leave them to the elders' care. Once the successor to next sect master has been decided, or perhaps when a disciple has rendered outstanding contributions for the sect, use these two spirit bones as rewards."
The second elder nodded slowly. He understood that this was Tang Xiao giving the elders face.
Otherwise, with his seniority as sect master, he could have taken these two spirit bones without question, even to the extent that he could have immediately fused them into his own body to increase his strength.
Two peoples' gazes met, the second elder sighed inwardly, then slowly nodded to Tang Xiao.
On the surface it seemed that Tang Xiao was accepting an almost impossible mission on behalf of Tang San, challenging the seventh elder using forty percent of his spirit power. But immediately after he did so, he used Tang Hao returning these two spirit bones to build influence for Tang San. That was in order to have the several elders approve of Tang San recognizing his ancestors and clan.
He had given the elders face, and the elders would naturally return a plum in exchange for a peach.
Handing the two spirit bones to the second elder, was also equivalent to giving them the authority to decide on who they would belong to, imperceptibly raising the elders' status within the sect.
Even more, the shocking strength Tang San displayed in his previous fight with Tang Hu was also enough to win over these elders.
At least among the present third generation sect disciples, there was absolutely nobody more outstanding than Tang San.
Tang San had inwardly already swiftly analyzed the results of everything that happened in front of him.
But he of course wouldn't believe that the seventh elder would start of leniently in the later fight against him. He was after all a sect elder. He absolutely wasn't willing to lose to a little junior like him.
Therefore he would still make an all out effort in the later battle. If he let the elders feel that his strength was only so-so, there might still be changes.
The second elder's lips buzzed in front of Tang Xiao, using a technique to compress sound into a string to say something to the seventh elder. The seventh elder frowned, but he still nodded stealthily.
"Elders, please."
Tang Xiao made an inviting gesture, then took the lead to walk out of the sect. The master of the sect always had the highest position in the sect.
A hundred or more sect disciples were led out of the sect by Tang Xiao and his sister with the five elders, reaching the side of the precipice.
Looking at the sect elders around him, then again looking at the abyss between mountains filled with clouds and mist in front of him, Tang San couldn't help being somewhat stupid. In his last life, his final memories were of just this kind of scene.
It was equally a precipice, equally coerced by Tang clan elders. The difference was that in his last life he could only die to clear his name, and in this life he could rely on his strength to win everything. At least, in this world he wouldn't already die again.
Raising his head to look at the seventh elder, Tang San drew a deep breath, circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body at high speed. The eight extraordinary meridians being unclogged made his inner strength recovery speed several times faster than before. Even though his previous consumption wasn't small, he had already recovered a lot in this short time.
The seventh elder also just looked at him, also without speaking. Raising his hand to swing a wide sleeve, a powerful wind spread out, immediately scattering the clouds and mist in front of him. The seventh elder kicked off with one foot, and he seemed to float out moving close to fifty meters before landing on the iron cable bridge.
The iron cable bridge still swayed in the wind as he landed, the seventh elder quietly standing there as if weightless.
Both hands behind his back, the clouds and mist swirling beneath his feet, he looked just like an immortal.
Watching the seventh elder's movements, Tang San couldn't keep his heart from trembling. He understood that this seventh elder's strength might be more dreadful than he had imagined.
Without procrastinating, Tang San equally leapt up. Without showing off, he calmly landed on the iron cable bridge. Feet sliding, he pulled closer to the seventh elder, stopping once the distance between them was thirty meters. The cold ice on the iron cable bridge beneath his feet seemed to have become a helping hand for him.
"Seventh elder, leaving the space between the mountains is a loss, how about it?"
Tang San said.
The seventh elder gave a nod, also without speaking further. With a wave of his right hand a Clear Sky Hammer practically the same size as the one Tang Hu summoned appeared out of nothing in his right hand. The difference was that his Clear Sky Hammer didn't have any pattern.
The pupils of Tang San's eyes contracted almost instantly. The appearance of the spirit was accompanied by the appearance of spirit rings. Unless one only used the spirit body itself like in his time in Slaughter City, without using any abilities, the spirit rings would certainly appear.
The seventh elder clearly didn't intend not to use spirit abilities, therefore, at the same time as the Clear Sky Hammer appeared, his spirit rings also simultaneously appeared.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.
Nine spirit rings quietly stood still over his Clear Sky Hammer.
Strangely, the spirit rings didn't have any interest in moving rhythmically, only quietly standing still on the Clear Sky Hammer. The faint radiance they released even washed the surrounding clouds and mist in a different color.
