Chapter 171 Tang Xiao vs. Kuang Tie: The Haotian Sect's Mysterious Confidence?
[The Ultimate King of Glory Peak Tournament]
[Seventh Match - Duos: [Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School - Chen Xin & Gu Rong] vs. [Chang'an City - Lan & Cai Wenji]!]
[Winners: Chang'an City·Lan, Cai Wenji!]
[Based on individual matchmaking rewards: Each player's Soul Power increases by one level!]
[Additional Evaluation (Only in Special Cases): Lan's Martial Soul is a dual-form human-shark hybrid, capable of transforming into a shark in battle, possessing extreme speed and attack power, allowing for both offense and defense; its effect can be described as "Ultimate Surprise Attack"! Cai Wenji's Martial Soul possesses ultimate control and healing abilities; wielding a god-level Martial Soul at such a young age is unique in the world; its effect can be described as "Perpetual Endurance"! The two fighting together combine damage and sustain!]
The next second, two golden beams of light descended from the sky.
The gifts were bestowed upon Lan and Cai Wenji respectively.
Lan was promoted to level 97, while Cai Wenji was promoted to level 96.
"Okay~Q~"
Cai Wenji happily approached Lan and took out a small flower.
Here, let me put a little flower on your plate~
"This is my reward for you~ Q~"
She spoke in a childish voice, tucking the flower into Lan's hair.
Lan was taken aback by Cai Wenji's sudden action:
"I've told you so many times, don't just stick a flower on an assassin's head."
Even so, he made no attempt to stop or remove it.
"Big brother, let's go! I want to go to the beach to play~Q~"
Cai Wenji, barefoot, pulled Lan and ran off the stage.
Lan's expression remained unchanged, but a barely perceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes.
He picked up Cai Wenji, and the two figures, one human and one child, slowly walked off the stage.
The sunlight shone on them, making them look especially warm and cozy.
(Lan and Cai Wenji after she grew up!)
(Raise her up, marry her, and raise her like a little princess!)
"shock!"
Sikong Zhen didn't have much emotion; he raised his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning.
"boom--"
A thunderbolt struck the "Match" button on the display, causing the screen to flicker rapidly.
A new round of matching is underway...
Upon seeing this, the various factions present became agitated.
Everyone was wondering which faction's personnel would be next to take the stage.
Based on the deductions made by all the participants who have already competed, the major forces have made a general guess.
All participants who have already entered the competition are from human forces on the Douluo Continent:
The Spirit Hall, the two great empires, the two upper sects, the Min clan...
Therefore, it can be inferred that Chang'an should prioritize sending human forces from the Douluo Continent to participate.
Therefore, it is very likely that these forces will continue to send out their remaining players to compete.
It's very likely the Spirit Hall!
Or, there's another sect called Haotian Sect that hasn't even appeared yet!
With this in mind, everyone's attention focused on the Haotian Sect's spectator seats.
"snort!"
Despite the many gazes upon them, the Haotian Sect members showed no fear.
They all had arrogant expressions, looking down on everyone else.
"A bunch of chickens and dogs!"
Tang Hao scoffed dismissively, deliberately raising his voice as he said:
"It's truly shameful that so many participants from various factions were defeated by opponents of higher levels!"
"If it really doesn't work out, we'll have to give up the competition to save time and prevent it from affecting my chances of winning the top spot in the tournament!"
His words provoked the wrath of various powerful forces.
Those who had lost power, in particular, stared intently at him.
The members of the Spirit Hall were so eager to tear him apart.
The Poseidon Island team was in the spectator stands.
The sea witch couldn't hold back any longer and muttered a curse:
"Is this guy Tang Hao?!"
"Back then, he and Tang Xiao helped Tang Chen deliver a message to our Grand Elder, and they killed several of our Seagod Island believers!"
"So many years have passed, and I can't believe he's still so arrogant and disdainful of everyone. He should have been killed back then!"
Hailong frowned, glared at her, and reminded her:
"Keep your voice down. Tang Chen dotes on Tang Hao. Even the Grand Elder still thinks of Tang Chen."
As they spoke, their gazes fell upon Poseidon.
They discovered that Poseidon had also been keeping a close eye on the Haotian Sect's formation.
Her gaze was fixed on the King of Slaughter's face, her mind filled with confusion:
"Is that man really Tang Chen? Why has his aura and appearance changed so drastically?"
"If it's because he became the high priest of the Asura God, that might also make sense."
"But why...why does he seem not to recognize me? Is he intentionally distancing himself, or is there some other reason?!"
The King of Slaughter also noticed her gaze at this moment, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes:
"That woman seems to be a high priestess of the sea god. Why is she staring at me?!"
"Could it be that Tang Chen, whom I'm inhabiting, is also connected to her? If so, hehe, I can make good use of him!"
Thinking about it, he pretended to subtly probe Tang Xiao, who was standing to the side, for information.
Just as the various forces had different ideas.
The new opponents have been matched, Sikong Zhen announced loudly:
"The eighth match of the King of Glory Peak Tournament!"
"Tang Xiao of Haotian Sect versus Kuang Tie of Chang'an City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky immediately revealed:
[The Eighth Match of the Ultimate King of Glory Peak Tournament!]
[Haotian Sect - Tang Xiao - Battle - Chang'an City - Kuang Tie!]
On the viewing platform of Haotian Sect.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone became instantly excited.
"Good! It's finally our Haotian Sect's turn to make a move!!"
"With Tang Xiao personally taking to the field, he will surely break Chang'an's undefeated record!"
"Those forces lost in disgrace. Today, the sect leader must vindicate the Haotian Sect and let the world see the power of the Haotian Hammer!"
"Tang Xiao, don't hold back when you go on stage later. Beat the sluts sent by Chang'an to death and avenge our dead third brother!"
The elders stared at Tang Xiao and spoke in hushed tones.
"Big brother, don't hold back! Avenge Uncle Three!"
Tang Hao patted Tang Xiao on the shoulder, inwardly urging him on with resentment.
"rest assured!"
Tang Xiao nodded solemnly, his voice booming and echoing across half the arena:
"The reputation of our Haotian Sect has been damaged over the years, and I, the sect master, will use this battle to restore it!"
With that, he stomped his foot on the ground and leaped onto the ring.
The moment it landed, the Clear Sky Hammer was released, accompanied by nine spirit rings:
Purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
An overwhelming aura swept across the entire venue, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.
"Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect, with the top-tier weapon spirit Clear Sky Hammer, a level 97 Power Attack type Title Douluo, titled—Xiaotian!"
"Where is Chang'an Kuangtie? Why aren't you coming out to fight?!"
Upon seeing this, all living beings in the world instantly erupted in excitement once again:
"Tang Xiao! The sect leader of the Haotian Sect, the foremost of the three upper sects!!"
"It inherited the title of the world's number one weapon spirit, though it has been removed from the list, its residual power still remains!"
"That's right, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect killed the former Pope of the Spirit Hall back then, even though he was above his level!"
"And then there's Tang Chen, once the strongest Soul Master on the continent, at the peak of level ninety-nine, known as invincible on the continent!"
"It's said that Tang Xiao has now reached level 97. I wonder if he can end Chang'an's seven-game winning streak?!"
The various factions present reacted with different expressions upon seeing this.
They still vividly remembered the arrogance of the Haotian Sect towards them!
They wanted to see just how arrogant the Haotian Sect really was!
If we win, they'll be convinced! If we lose, let's see how they laugh at us!
