Chương 494: Shrek, Reunion (1)
Tang San said with a wry smile:
"Facing the possible retaliation of a Title Douluo, how couldn't I be nervous?"
The seventh elder angrily said:
"With my status, would I retaliate against you? That, whatever I said to you just now, I take it back. If you agree to a bet you must accept to lose. I shouldn't have cursed at you. I also agree with you about recognizing your ancestors and clan."
Hearing these words, Tang San on the contrary stared blankly. He couldn't help staring into the seventh elder's eyes.
"What are you looking at? If you agree to a bet you must accept to lose, can't you understand what I'm saying!"
Finished saying this, the seventh elder didn't stay longer, turning around and leaving. In a few bounds, he had already disappeared out of sight.
At this moment, Tang San found that this elder didn't seem to be so disagreeable. His 'daring to love and daring to hate' character on the contrary made him even more likable.
His gaze turning to Tang Xiao and the other elders, the second elder nodded to Tang San,
"We'll keep our promises. You won the contest just now. We'll allow you to recognize your ancestors and clan."
Tang San somewhat moved asked:
"Then may I offer sacrifice to grandfather?"
Hearing these words, the several elders' faces all seemed somewhat gloomy. Clearly, they all thought of the old sect master's unwillingness at the time of his death, but the second elder still nodded,
"You may not. Because of your father's errors, you still don't have the qualifications to offer sacrifice to the old sect master. You said before that you would repay the mistakes your father made, rendering service to the sect. That's right."
Tang San's heart tightened, but he still inwardly loosed a breath. After all, this was already considered the first step for him to gain forgiveness on behalf of his father,
"Yes, I said so. Then what must I do to be able to offer sacrifice for grandfather?"
The second elder said:
"Since it's like this, we require you to do three tasks for the sect. As long as you do these three tasks, consider it gaining forgiveness on behalf of your father. Not only will you recognize your ancestors and sect, but we can also let your father return to the sect again, to offer sacrifice for the old sect master together with you."
"What?"
Tang San was shocked, the rims of his eyes immediately somewhat red. Even though his father hadn't mentioned these kinds of expectations, Tang San knew that separating from the sect was an eternal pain in his father's heart. If his father could return to the sect, could offer sacrifice to his grandfather, it would undoubtedly be an enormously happy occasion for his father.
Of course, someone as astute as him naturally understood that with the second elder giving him such generous conditions, those three tasks would definitely be difficult. However, right now he basically didn't have leeway to choose.
For his father, and also for the Clear Sky School, he was duty-bound.
"Very well, I agree."
Tang San drew a deep breath, moderating his mood. He had to analyze even more calmly. Glancing at the expressionless Tang Xiao next to him, Tang Xiao didn't reveal any hint, clearly approving of the second elder's way of handling things.
The second elder gave a calm smile, saying:
"At present, it's impossible for you to complete these three tasks. We'll also give you a very long time limit. The first task, within ten years, your spirit power must break through the eightieth rank."
Gaining twenty ranks in ten years might not be difficult for lower-level Spirit Masters if they did their utmost. But the second elder's requirement was from the sixtieth rank to the eightieth rank. This span was a bit too large.
Very many Spirit Masters would find it difficult to reach this kind of level even by the end of their life. Let alone in a brief ten years. Tang San was now twenty, in ten years he would be thirty. Breaking through the eightieth rank at thirty, in the entire Spirit Master world, would definitely be a terrifying event.
"Fine, I believe it can be done."
Tang San agreed without the slightest hesitation. He had already done far too many impossible things, he didn't care about this one.
The second elder nodded with satisfaction. He rather appreciated the stubborn conviction revealed in Tang San's eyes.
"The second task, within ten years, you must bring back the head of a Spirit Hall Title Douluo. It doesn't matter what method you use, we only want the result."
The pupils of Tang San's eyes contracted. Killing a Title Douluo? Drawing a deep breath, he once again gave a resolute nod.
The second elder's gaze now also grew heavy, speaking in a serious voice,
"The third task. We require your eighth spirit ring to be a hundred thousand-year spirit ring.
"What?"
If the previous two tasks could still be described as possible, then the third task the second elder gave Tang San gave him a feeling of a fairy tale.
How could hundred thousand-year spirit rings be so easily obtained? Among the Title Douluo Tang San knew, only his father and the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong each had a hundred thousand-year spirit ring. Moreover, his father's hundred thousand-year spirit ring still came from his mother.
First never mind mentioning how difficult it was to kill a hundred thousand-year spirit beast, just finding a hundred thousand-year spirit beast was already extremely difficult. Even more when it still was the eighth spirit ability.
The second elder spoke in a low voice:
"Your fourth spirit ring is already on the ten thousand-year levels, your fifth spirit ring has at least surpassed thirty thousand years. Once it's time for you to get your eighth spirit ring, with the power of your body, absorbing a hundred thousand-year spirit ring shouldn't be an issue. While obtaining this spirit ring, besides that the sect won't help you, you can draw support from any outside forces. We only want the result. You have ten years. In ten years, we hope we can see you here. Moreover with these three tasks completed. If you can succeed, the two-spirit bones your father returned to the sect will also be yours. Don't you want to help the sect re-found its glory? I can promise you right now that, if you complete these three tasks, you will be the next sect master. Only in this position can you guide the Clear Sky School to recreate its bearing from those days."
Tang San's gaze froze. he knew that he basically didn't have any margins to haggle. First let alone these elders not allowing him to haggle, whatever he said would also let them look down on him.
"Fine, I will do it."
Tang San spoke through practically clenched teeth. He had to complete these three tasks, for his father, for himself, and for the sect.
...
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
Just like five years ago, there was nothing different about the exterior of the Shrek Academy, but the interior facilities were even more perfect. Five years had passed, and this place had already become a revered advanced Spirit Master academy of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Since the Shrek Seven Devils revealed their outstanding brilliance in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament five years ago, defeating numerous powerful enemies one after another, especially after defeating the Spirit Hall Team's Golden Generation in the final moment, Shrek Academy's reputation had grown into a great clamor.
The enthusiasm of public opinion even put it above the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
After the news of their triumph spread back, heavenly emperor Xue Ye immediately honored his promise, conferring titles on the Shrek Seven Devils. Unfortunately, none of the seven devils returned to the Academy, leaving the Heaven Dou imperial household no choice but to give up on their intentions to rope them in. But even so, heavenly emperor Xue Ye still saw the outstanding education capabilities of the Shrek Academy.
Especially as he understood Grandmaster's importance to the Shrek Academy under the reminder of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master Ning Fengzhi.
In order to be able to retain the Grandmaster, emperor Xue Ye personally visited Shrek Academy. He didn't try to tempt him but finally moved Grandmaster with his sincerity.
Grandmaster agreed to temporarily settle in Heaven Dou City, but he wouldn't leave Shrek Academy. Emperor Xue Ye conferred Grandmaster the title of Imperial Spirit Master Minister, awarding him the rank of count. In times of need, the imperial household's affiliated Spirit Masters would enter Shrek Academy to accept Grandmaster's instruction.
At the same time, the imperial household allocated funds to expand Shrek Academy.
Emperor Xue Ye had originally planned to have Shrek Academy merge with Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, with Flender still serving as dean, but he was tactfully refused by Flender and Grandmaster.
They didn't want Shrek Academy's students to be influenced by those nobles.
There were no back doors into Shrek Academy, it relied entirely on strength. On this point, Flender obtained emperor Xue Ye's complete approval. Possessing such a deep background, Shrek Academy naturally wouldn't suffer any inconveniences.
In the past five years, it had developed and flourished. Even though it didn't have any more alarmingly talented little monsters like the Shrek Seven Devils, they could still be considered winning success and recognition, producing a lot of powerful young Spirit Masters, giving the Heaven Dou imperial household a new generation of Spirit Masters.
When Tang San was at the Moon Pavilion, Tang Yue-Hua had forbidden him from going out, and after finishing his studies he had anxiously gone to see his father. That year, he only stealthily left the Moon Pavilion once to see Grandmaster, announcing his safety to his teacher. At that time he also only exchanged a few words with Grandmaster before immediately returning to the Moon Pavilion.
The sunshine illuminated everything, a blue sky without a cloud for ten thousand li.
A gentle breeze enveloped the Shrek Academy in the scorching heat. A lot of students wearing that particular green uniform could be seen moving inside the Academy.
The once derided as snot green uniform had now already become the signature apparel of the Shrek Academy. Young Spirit Masters all wore this uniform with pride.
The sun was right at its zenith when one man and one woman arrived at the front gate of the Shrek Academy.
They both appeared to be around twenty, the young man the older, the young woman somewhat younger. That youth possessed a head of golden long hair, unrestrained and unruly scattering across his back. His eyes had double pupils, his face a somewhat moved expression. Standing there just staring at the particular monster carving inscribed on the board above the Shrek Academy gate.
The young woman's face was ice cold, her extremely fiery and perfect figure forming a clear contrast to the chill in her expression, making her even more intensely attractive. Unlike the youth's black clothing, she wore a long white dress, covering most of her snow-white skin.
The golden-haired youth sighed,
"Time really passes quickly, five years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how they are."
