At this moment, Tang Xiao stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the golden list in the sky, and murmured something to himself.
"Three women who can help you level up..."
"A drug that can regenerate severed limbs..."
He slowly turned around, looking at the elders behind him who also had solemn expressions, his voice somewhat low.
"Gentlemen, three! Three stunningly beautiful women, all from the same faction!"
"Could it be that our Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for too long?"
"A storm is brewing, and this never-before-seen dark arena holds such resources..."
At this point, a hint of anxiety about the future of the sect flashed in Tang Xiao's eyes.
"If we continue to cower here and ignore this issue..."
"Once the Spirit Hall or other forces obtain these opportunities, their strength will increase dramatically, and then..."
"Our Haotian Sect will be left far behind, or even... destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances, each seeing the urgency in the other's eyes.
Tang Xiao took a deep breath and no longer hesitated: "Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder!"
"Sect Master." The two elders nodded.
"You two, leave the sect immediately!" Tang Xiao said sternly.
"Go to Yuexuan Pavilion in Tiandou City to find Yuehua."
"Yuehua has been mingling in the Tiandou aristocratic circle for many years, so she should be quite well-informed."
"Go ask her if she knows anything about this Dark Night Duel Arena, and who the arena owner is."
"If we find out..."
Tang Xiao paused for a moment, a decisive glint in his eyes, and waved his hand: "Negotiations with that venue owner."
"Tell him that if he is willing to part with one of the most beautiful women on the list, he can give one of them to our Haotian Sect."
"Even if it means emptying most of the sect's savings, even if it means suffering huge losses, we must buy it!"
In this world where strength reigns supreme, the opportunity to advance to the rank of Title Douluo is ten thousand times more precious than any gold or silver treasure!
The Fourth Elder frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Sect Master, what if the owner of the arena refuses to sell?"
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment: "If you refuse... then you should act accordingly."
This statement is quite profound.
"clear!"
The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder exchanged a glance, then transformed into two streaks of light and disappeared into the vast snow-covered mountains.
Tang Xiao turned around again, looking at the boundless sea of clouds, a deep melancholy appearing on his face.
"Grandpa...where did you go?"
"After all these years, are you still alive?"
As Tang Xiao thought of this, the image of his bold and ambitious younger brother resurfaced in his mind.
"And Brother Hao...where are you?"
"I bet if you saw such a miraculous medicine, you'd want to take a chance."
The Star Luo Empire, the Zhu Family Mansion.
The Zhu family's courtyard was exceptionally quiet.
A beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent purple gown stood beside a flowerbed in the courtyard.
She is very well-preserved; although she is a woman, time seems to have been exceptionally kind to her.
Not only did it not leave any marks on her face, but it also gave her a dignified and mature charm.
She is Zhu Yuming, the current head of the Zhu family.
At this moment, she was tilting her long neck back, quietly looking at the information on the sky, her beautiful eyes filled with countless thoughts.
At this moment, an elderly woman with gray hair hurried over: "Master."
The old nanny lowered her voice and leaned close to Zhu Yuming: "Someone from the palace has come."
"He was sent by His Majesty, specifically to inquire about our Zhu family."
"Are there any young women in the clan who have awakened a form similar to the catwoman on the list?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuming rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it, her dignified face revealing a wide grin.
She waved her hand dismissively, her tone cold: "Tell the person who came that there isn't one!"
The old nanny nodded silently: "That's the same way I refused, and I've already sent them away."
After the old nanny left, a hint of worry gradually appeared on Zhu Yuming's face.
She turned her head and looked at an elderly man who had been standing not far away.
"Elder, what do you think of this list of beauties?"
The First Elder looked up at the sky, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Patriarch, this time... I'm afraid it will be a disaster!"
"The women of our Zhu family are all top-notch in both looks and figure."
"I think... Zhu Zhuyun is very likely to be on the list."
Upon hearing the name Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Yuming frowned slightly.
The elder sighed and continued, "If she really makes the list, the consequences..."
"I'm just afraid that His Majesty..."
The elder stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, but his meaning was already crystal clear.
Zhu Yuming naturally understood as well.
In the Star Luo Empire, where imperial power reigns supreme and strength is paramount.
Family ties and ethics are utterly worthless in the face of absolute power.
Although Zhu Zhuyun is nominally the fiancée of the eldest prince, Davis, she may also be the future crown princess.
But if that guy Dai Yutian wants to use the effects of dual cultivation to break through his own bottleneck and strive to become a Title Douluo...
He would absolutely not hesitate to make a move on his future daughter-in-law!
At that time, who could stop them? And who dared to stop them?
"I had no choice..."
Looking at the list of stunning women shimmering in the sky, Zhu Yuming felt that it was not a matter of chance.
Rather, it is a material for the strong to enhance their strength.
The wind blew through the courtyard, petals fell, and she sighed helplessly, her voice filled with a sense of powerlessness.
"If that time really comes... what can our Zhu family.
Dark Night Duel Arena - Top Floor Room
Upon returning, Qin Chen looked at the comments on the list of beauties and couldn't help but smile.
That long-forgotten memory resurfaced.
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
Liu Erlong, who had been lazily leaning against the window, couldn't help but ask curiously after seeing his change.
"Perhaps she was reminiscing about the wonderful times she spent with Sister Jiangzhu?"
Before Qin Chen could even speak, Dou Dou had already jumped barefoot behind him.
She wrapped her arms around Qin Chen's neck affectionately, like a koala.
Her little face was still rubbing against Qin Chen's cheek.
She and Jiangzhu are both 19 years old now, but Jiangzhu is a few months older than her, so she calls her "older sister".
"Sister Jiangzhu is so gentle, she has many suitors in the dueling arena!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, saw this scene and her cheeks puffed out.
She kept her head down, her index fingers tapping together incessantly, muttering to herself.
"I...I want to cuddle too...I can be very gentle too..."
Qin Chen reached out and rubbed her little head, then patted the pocket hanging on his body.
"Her..."
Qin Chen softened his voice and his eyes became gentler.
"Clumsy."
According to the original trajectory of her destiny, Jiangzhu would have been chosen by Liu Erlong because of her kindness and talent.
He joined Blue Tyrant Academy and became one of the most outstanding students, serving as a substitute for Shrek Academy in the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament.
But since Liu Erlong followed him, there would naturally be no Blue Tyrant Academy.
Therefore, her fate underwent a tremendous change.
Duel Arena - Outside the Treatment Room.
The fierce-looking contestants who had been waiting in long lines now quietly left the corridor.
"Let's go, let Miss Jiangzhu rest for a bit, and take a look at the list."
"Exactly, your little scratch is nothing."
Gradually, the treatment room became exceptionally quiet.
Jiangzhu put away the healing scepter and slowly walked to the windowsill.
She looked up, staring blankly at the dazzling names on the list of beauties.
"Can...I make the list too?"
She remembered how she used to look, with her face full of wrinkles, and how she was disliked by others.
She recalled that he showed no disgust whatsoever, but instead gently extended his hand and said, "Come home with me."
The next moment.
A single, glistening tear slid down her fair and delicate cheek.
"Clatter".
Tears dripped onto the floor, splashing up a tiny water droplet.
"Buzz—!"
Just then, the sky above shone with golden light once more, followed by that familiar scene.
