Chapter 103: Foolishly Ignorant Yun Yuan? Yu Xiaogang's Fantasy
After Yun Yuan finished speaking, the entire venue fell into silence. Everyone stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe that Yun Yuan would make such a request.
Although Yun Yuan had just displayed a move severing Tai Tian's arm, a Soul Douluo, with a single claw, Tang Chen was a rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo, a mountain-like existence in the soul master world.
A life-and-death battle five years later meant that Yun Yuan was confident he could defeat Tang Chen and ascend to the peak of soul masters. Just thinking about it felt unbelievable.
Especially for those soul masters who had already reached the Titled Douluo level, only after reaching this realm did they understand just how difficult it was for a Titled Douluo to advance even further.
Not far away, after learning this news, Qian Xunji frowned slightly and walked to Yun Yuan's side.
"Xiao Yuan, you must not act so rashly. At the very least, you should set a ten-year agreement. Isn't five years a bit too short?"
At this moment, although Qian Xunji was Yun Yuan's teacher, after Yun Yuan obtained his fifth soul ring, Qian Xunji could no longer teach him anything. He also had little understanding of Yun Yuan's current strength.
Only Qian Daoliu, who truly knew Yun Yuan's strength, had a glint of light flash in his eyes.
He was very clear about Yun Yuan's strength. After obtaining his sixth soul ring, his strength might have already reached the threshold of becoming a Worship—that is, a rank ninety-six Super Douluo.
Five years later, would his strength reach his own level?
Since Yun Yuan had confidence, Qian Daoliu naturally chose to believe in his grand-disciple.
Then, Qian Daoliu used his spiritual power to transmit his voice to Qian Xunji. "Ji'er, since Xiao Yuan dares to make this agreement, he naturally has his confidence."
"Moreover, Xiao Yuan's current strength is far beyond your imagination. To be honest, Ji'er, you might not even be able to defeat your own disciple now."
Hearing his father's voice transmission, the words Qian Xunji wanted to say instantly got stuck in his throat, and his pupils shrank sharply.
What did his father just say? Xiao Yuan's strength had already surpassed his? He had only stopped teaching Xiao Yuan for a little over a year, and Xiao Yuan's strength had already reached such a level?
Since Qian Daoliu had confidence in Yun Yuan, the heavy stone in Qian Xunji's heart fell. He turned his gaze toward Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Douluo, on the opposite side, wanting to see his reaction.
At the same time, Qian Daoliu also looked toward Tang Chen, a trace of relief and regret in his eyes.
If Tang Chen agreed to this arrangement, five years later, he would undoubtedly die.
"Youngster, are you certain you want to make a five-year agreement with me? If you take back your words now, I, Tang Chen, can pretend nothing happened."
"But if you insist on this five-year agreement, when the time comes, my Clear Sky Hammer will not show mercy just because you are a junior."
Tang Chen spoke to Yun Yuan. If Yun Yuan continued to remain obstinate, he did not mind letting this unparalleled genius of Spirit Hall fall prematurely.
As for Yun Yuan defeating him in five years, Tang Chen believed it was absolutely impossible.
Not only did he possess the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, but he also had the Great Sumeru Hammer, a technique comparable to a divine skill. If he fought with his life on the line, unless it was a powerhouse like that whale-type sea beast, he would never be killed.
As for Yun Yuan, although he had just severed Tai Tian's arm with a single claw and his combat power might have reached the Titled Douluo level, each level within the Titled Douluo realm was like a separate heaven. Reaching the combat power of a Limit Douluo was easier said than done.
"Sect Master Tang, I naturally insist on it. The question is, do you dare?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen burst into loud laughter, his voice echoing throughout the entire plaza.
"Good, Yun Yuan boy, it's a deal!"
"Five years later, I will see what level you've reached. It is good for a genius to have confidence, but excessive confidence becomes arrogance. You will ultimately pay the price for your actions!"
With that, Tang Chen turned around and led the members of the Clear Sky Sect out of Spirit City.
Five years later, he would personally crush the pride of this Spirit Hall genius with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, letting him know that the strong must not be insulted.
As Tang Chen left, the various forces also withdrew their gazes, already anticipating the earth-shaking battle five years later.
Five years later, would Yun Yuan pay the price for his arrogance, or would he ascend to the peak of soul masters?
All of this would be revealed in five years.
If it were the latter, the soul master world would gain a legendary tale passed down through the ages, one that would still be talked about for countless years.
At the position of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang looked at Yun Yuan, who was so arrogant as to make an agreement with a mountain-like figure in the soul master world, and could not help but sneer inwardly.
"Yun Yuan, Yun Yuan, you are courting death. I once thought you were a smart man, someone who could become my future rival in the path of theory."
"But now it seems you are truly foolish beyond belief. In the future, the title of theoretical grandmaster will belong to me, Yu Xiaogang, alone."
Yu Xiaogang fantasized beautifully. Once Yun Yuan died, when he published his theories in the future, no one would share the fame of 'grandmaster' with him. He would also become a soul master admired by everyone on the continent.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth could not help but curl upward slightly, as if he had already seen the scene of himself becoming a grandmaster in the future.
Seeing the members of the Clear Sky Sect leave, Yun Yuan's gaze swept across the soul masters present, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Now that the Clear Sky Sect has left, it is time for my Pill Hall's first sale of pills."
"This time, the pills our Pill Hall is offering are mainly first- to sixth-grade pills. The types of pills just described are all available. As for the price…"
After a moment, when Yun Yuan finished speaking, the members of all forces revealed bitter smiles without exception.
The price of these pills was somewhat too high, yet their effects made everyone extremely tempted.
After the younger generation consumed them, they could at least save several years of cultivation time. If soul masters used them after battle, those recovery pills could even save lives. Their effects were tremendous.
Even if they were being treated like leeks by the Pill Hall, they could only rush forward willingly.
Because these pills could only be refined by the Pill Hall, in the future, they would still need to rely on it and could not afford to offend this branch hall of the Spirit Hall.
If the Pill Hall refused to sell them pills, over time, they would fall behind other forces. Just thinking about it was unbearable.
However, what disappointed the various forces was that the Pill Hall did not seem to have any intention of selling seventh-grade or higher pills. Otherwise, no matter how expensive they were, they would still scramble to buy them.
What determines the upper limit of a force is always its strongest expert.
While pills were being sold on a large scale in Spirit City, Tang Chen had already left with the members of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Zhen'er, after we return to the Clear Sky Sect this time, you will take over as the sect master."
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Tang Zhen stopped in his tracks, stunned for a moment. A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, while Tang Hao and Tang Xiao beside him also looked at Tang Chen in puzzlement.
"Grandfather, why is that?"
Tang Chen stopped, sighed, and began to speak of the insights he had gained from his battle with Qian Daoliu just now.
"In the past, I thought I had already reached the ultimate limit of this world. But that whale-type sea beast and Qian Daoliu's performance have shown me that on the path of a Limit Douluo, I have not yet reached the end."
