Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing

Haotian Sect.

On the top of the snow mountain, inside Haotian Castle.

As the thick stone door opened, Tang San slowly approached the Haotian Castle made of black rock.When he took the first step into Haotian Castle, the eyes of more than 200 disciples of Haotian Sect were locked on him like a sharp sword.

"Tang San, son of Tang Hao, meets the sect leader."

He endured the pressure like a turbulent wave, slowly knelt down on one knee, and said loudly.He is Tang Hao's son. Even if he is injured, he must not show his timidity in front of the sect.

There was silence for a long time, and the air seemed to freeze.

Many disciples looked at Tang San, and there were slight discussions.Several elders nodded affirmatively, and the second elder said happily:
"Tang San, please get up. We all knew your sincerity towards the sect during that battle."

Back then the second elder promised that as long as he defeated Dai Yao, not only could he recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, but Tang Hao could too. Thinking of this, Tang San said sadly:

"Second Elder, but I still lost..."

The second elder and Tang Xiao looked at each other with soft eyes. Tang Xiao looked at Tang San and smiled:

"Xiaosan, get up. Since I called you here, I naturally have something important to announce."

Tang San still didn't get up after hearing this, and asked eagerly:

"Sect Master, is it the sect that forgives father and allows us to recognize our ancestors and return to the sect to worship grandpa?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in Haotian Castle immediately became not good, and the seventh elder even looked gloomy and snorted coldly.Obviously, in the recent battle, although everyone saw Tang San's talent, they were still worried about what Tang Hao did in the past, which caused the Haotian Sect to be forced to hide from the world.

The second elder noticed the change in the atmosphere, looked at the second elder again, and said with a helpless smile:

"Do not."

"what is that?"

Tang San asked suspiciously.

"That day I said that if you defeated Dai Yao, we would agree that you and your father would recognize their ancestors and return to the clan and worship the old sect master, but you didn't do it."

Looking at Tang San who looked gloomy, the second elder stroked his beard and smiled happily:

"But we have seen your sincerity towards the sect, so we are willing to give you a chance to recognize your ancestors and return to the sect. As long as you complete three things, not only you, but also your father can return to the sect. "

Tang San was shocked and looked excited.

This roller coaster-like feeling of being in a desperate situation and coming back to life made it difficult for him to calm down.Although his father asked him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, he did not mention himself, but he knew that leaving the clan would be an eternal pain in Tang Hao's heart.

Therefore, no matter what the conditions are, he will work hard to complete it.

"Second Elder, no matter what the conditions are, I agree."

Tang San took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said in a deep voice.

Seeing Tang San's firm promise, the second elder showed a satisfied smile and said:

"Don't rush to agree. It won't be too late to agree after hearing these three things."

"For ordinary people, completing each of these three things is more difficult than reaching the sky. But for you, it is not impossible to accomplish. The first thing, I want you to reach the level of soul power within ten years. Level eighty.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.Tang San's soul power is currently only level 59. In just ten years, it is impossible to increase his soul power level by twenty levels.

You must know that for every soul master, the higher the soul power level, the more difficult it will be to improve it by one level.Even if you waste decades, you can't advance to one level.

Tang San was shocked.

He suddenly had a strange feeling, like a string that had been plucked out of order and was back on track.This strange feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to grasp it and explore the reason for its appearance, but there seemed to be thousands of threads lingering in his heart.

There is absolutely no way to start.

Although Dai Yao's appearance changed the plot, it finally returned to normal.

He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I promise."

Seeing that Tang San agreed, the second elder smiled lightly and continued:
"The second thing is, I want you to get a 10-year soul ring when you reach the eighth soul ring."

Tang San suddenly raised his head and looked at the second elder in disbelief. The 10-year-old soul ring is the top of the pyramid among the soul rings.Not to mention how to kill them, even finding them is extremely difficult.

Currently, there are only two known soul masters with 10-year-old soul rings.Pope Bibi Dong, and his father Tang Hao.Moreover, Tang Hao's 10-year-old soul ring came from his mother.

The only 10-year-old soul beasts he knew about now were Xiao Wu, the legendary Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python.When he was in his eighth spirit ring, it was impossible to kill the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python.

If you want to obtain the eighth soul ring, the only possibility is Xiao Wu's soul ring...

But it was impossible for him to take action against Xiao Wu!

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Tang San lowered his head, staring blankly at the ground, his mouth seemed to be heavier than a thousand pounds and he couldn't open it at all.

"Why, do you dare to agree?"

The second elder smiled.Several elders looked at him more carefully. Tang Xiao sighed softly. Several elders had already opened their eyes and gave Tang San a chance. There was no way he could change their decision.

"I promise."

With no other choice, Tang San had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.As soon as he finished speaking, he felt like he was carrying a huge burden.

In Haotian Castle, many disciples immediately remembered the whispers and looked at Tang San with a bit of sympathy.

Several elders looked at each other and smiled helplessly.To Tang San, this was a bit harsh, but how could their Haotian Sect be the same?Surviving in the cracks of Wuhun Palace to reach this day has been extremely difficult for the entire Haotian Sect.

At the same time, the meaner they were to Tang San, the higher their expectations for Tang San were.

Thinking of the third thing, the second elder couldn't help but take a long breath and his eyes became solemn.The discussion in Haotian Castle gradually stopped. Everyone seemed to have noticed something and looked at the second elder sternly.

Under everyone's gaze, the second elder stared closely at Tang San and said solemnly:

"The last thing is for you to kill Dai Yao within your lifetime! As long as you complete this task, you will not only be able to bring Tang Hao to recognize your ancestor and return to the sect, but you will also become the leader of the Haotian Sect!"

"Do you dare to promise?"

In an instant, a pin drop could be heard in Haotian Castle.

The name Dai Yao is a nightmare that everyone does not want to mention.One person defeated them all and shattered their pride as Haotian Sect disciples.

If Tang San wants to return to the sect, he must kill Dai Yao. Is this... possible?

Hearing Dai Yao's name, Tang San's eyes suddenly froze, and the blood in his body gradually began to boil.

If he were to meet the two conditions just now, he would still find it difficult and would consider agreeing. But when he heard Dai Yao, he only had two simple words in his heart - revenge!
His own hatred, Xiao Wu's hatred, and now the sect's humiliation was also Dai Yao's fault.

Caught together with old and new grudges, he raised his head, his eyes ablaze with bright red, and looked at the second elder. Like the angry flames in purgatory, he slowly spit out from his throat:
"I promise!"

Seeing the dazzling anger in Tang San's eyes, several elders were shocked.They were originally worried that Tang San would not dare to accept the conditions of killing Dai Yao because of his failure, but they did not expect that Tang San would accept it so firmly.

The second elder was very relieved and said "good" three times. Even many Haotian Sect disciples couldn't help but show admiration. If Tang San could really kill Dai Yao, they would be willing to recognize Tang San as his metropolitan!
······
The next day, early in the morning, by the chain bridge.Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua came to the iron cable bridge together. Looking at Tang San who looked a little pale, Tang Yuehua frowned and said worriedly:

"Xiao San, your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you leaving in such a hurry. Your body is weak now, and if the cold air enters your body on the road, it may cause the root cause of the disease. It's not too late to leave after your injury is healed."

Tang San coughed twice, a blush appeared on his face, and said with a smile:

"Aunt, my injuries are indeed not thorough, but with my mother's soul bone, this injury is nothing. This is also Dai Yao's arrogance. Although they are all fatal injuries, under the influence of the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone, , it’s no big deal.”

"I will definitely pay him back for these injuries."

Tang San's pride in repaying his debt with blood made Tang Xiao smile heartily and patted Tang San's shoulder, causing Tang San to feel a burst of pain.Tang Xiao was stunned and said with a smile:

"Okay, you are ambitious. He is indeed a descendant of our Haotian Sect! He is exactly the same as your father."

But when he said this, he was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, and said with a wry smile:
"Your love is the same as your father's. You fell in love with someone you shouldn't love. I just hope that you don't take the same path as your father..."

Mentioning Xiao Wu, Tang San's expression became serious.Tang Xiao also loved his mother deeply at the beginning. At this moment, he also felt regret and regret for his mother's death. He nodded and said:

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her. I am in a hurry to go down the mountain this time, not only to see my friends, but also to see her."

Tang Yuehua laughed and scolded: "No wonder you are in a hurry to go down the mountain. It turns out you want to see your little girlfriend!"

Tang Xiao smiled happily and said seriously:

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. However, you must remember that you must never take action against your girlfriend in order to complete the mission of the elders."

Tang San was surprised, feeling that his personality had been insulted, but he was his uncle after all, so he couldn't tear his face apart, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, uncle, I won't do it."

Tang Yuehua frowned and said, "Brother, is the mistress like that? Why are you saying this?"

Being scolded by his sister, Tang Xiao was embarrassed and said too much.Then he looked at Tang San solemnly and said seriously:
"Xiaosan, do you know what these conditions of the elders mean?"

Tang San's heart moved and he asked:

"what?"

Tang Xiao put his hands behind his back and looked down at the vast snow-covered mountains. There seemed to be a gleam of light surging in his majestic eyes:
"Xiao San, these are three conditions and three tests. When you complete the first two tests, it means that you have extraordinary potential and will definitely become a peerless strongman."

"And when you complete the third test, it means that you have enough reputation to become the next leader of Haotian Sect!"

"Dai Yao defeated all the disciples of Haotian Sect, but it also made everyone angry. As long as you kill Dai Yao, all the disciples will obey you."

"Although these three things are difficult, it also means that the elders have higher expectations for you."

These few words made Tang San's heart light up, and for the first time, he felt the warmth of the Haotian Sect's family.He said excitedly:
"I understand, uncle, I will definitely complete these three things."

At the same time, he swore in his heart that he would treat Haotian Sect well, just like he treated Tang Hao, and be filial to his uncle and the elders.

Of course, except the Seventh Elder.

After hearing Tang San's answer, Tang Xiao smiled happily, looked down at the vast mountains, and said with a complicated expression:
"Soon, the Haotian Sect will come out of the mountain and return to the mainland. The sect that was once the best in the world will return to everyone's eyes."

Turning the rudder of the giant ship of Haotian Sect and letting Haotian Sect come out of the mountain is the most difficult decision he has made as the leader of the sect.Even he felt the uneasiness of being capsized on the vast sea.

The safety of the Haotian Sect depends entirely on his thoughts.

Hearing this, Tang San was startled, and then said excitedly: "Uncle, is the Haotian Sect coming out of the mountain?"

Everyone knows what the emergence of the world's number one sect means. This is a reshuffle of the mainland's strength.

Tang Xiao looked at Tang San and said helplessly:
"Yes, now Wuhun Palace is pressing harder and harder, and has even sent six titled Douluo to our Haotian Sect. There is no way to retreat, we must come out."

"Don't wait for me!"

"How wonderful it would be if we could give us a few more decades to wait for you to fully grow up. I am already old. I have stayed on this dry snow mountain for too long, and my sharpness has almost worn out. It’s all blunted.”

"But you are different. You are still young, full of vigor and enterprising. If you are appointed to lead the Haotian Sect, you will definitely be able to bring the Haotian Sect to a new peak."

"It's a pity that Wuhun Palace doesn't want to give us such time."

Speaking of this, a strong feeling of disharmony arose in Tang San's heart.He always felt that something had changed, just like when the second elder proposed the conditions, he wanted to find it, but he could never find the reason.

Seeing Tang San's sad expression, Tang Xiao smiled and said:

"There is no need to feel sorry, Xiaosan. Since things have reached this point, then go on boldly and don't dwell on the past. Let's go and leave Haotian Sect!"

Tang San nodded solemnly, stepped onto the chain bridge, and slowly disappeared under the snow-capped mountains...
······
Tiandou City, Auckland College.

Dai Yao, wearing a black robe and a black hood, slowly walked into the former campus.

Ever since the Auckland team won the last continent-wide soul master competition, the reputation of Auckland College has spread throughout the continent.Although Dai Yao and Zhu Zhuqing chose to join Wuhun Palace in the end, it had no impact.

Today, Auckland College has received funding from the Tiandou Royal Family and has been expanded several times. It has become the highest-level soul master college in Tiandou City, second only to the Tiandou Royal Academy.

It was so prosperous and majestic that Dai Yao didn't even recognize it.

Countless students come here to join Auckland College. The quality of Auckland College’s teaching staff and students has improved unprecedentedly.There is a vague intention to suppress Tiandou Royal Academy.

Although the students around him were a little confused about Dai Yao's dress, they didn't say much.After all, there are too many people who come to Auckland because of its reputation.

It’s not surprising that there are a few people dressed in strange costumes.

As Dai Yao walked, he observed his surroundings and recalled the stories that had happened here.Scenes from the past appeared clearly before my eyes.

His time at Oakland College was the most carefree years he had ever lived.

Nowadays, such days are hard to come by.

I sighed in my heart, looking at the large number of students, I couldn't help feeling that today's Auckland College is no longer what it used to be.Passing by several students and listening to their discussion, Dai Yao stopped and let out a light sigh.

"Hurry, hurry! The selection of the academy team is about to begin. Let's go and have a look. If we go back later, there will definitely be no spots!"

"It is said that the leader of this team is the captain who won the final championship five years ago! Feng Qianli!"

A boy said excitedly, as if the team from five years ago was the one he admired most.

Another woman said with some pity:
"It's just a pity that the most powerful offensive soul master back then, Dai Yao, joined the Wuhun Hall and can't come back to see us. According to the senior students, he is extremely handsome."

The woman looked very beautiful. Several boys surrounded her with admiration. One boy comforted her:

"Having said that, as long as our team advances, we can see him in Wuhun City! And Zhu Zhuqing, Feng Wutong and the others!"

······
Listening to the lively discussion among several students, Dai Yao couldn't help but smile.Time always reminds people in various details of the passage of time.

Before you know it, five years have passed, and the continent-wide soul master competition will begin again.

Dai Yao lowered his hood and walked towards what they called the Oakland Spirit Fighting Arena.We haven’t seen each other for five years. How are our former teammates doing? (End of chapter)
