As for the outcome, Tang Xiao, who possessed all the Clear Sky Sect's techniques except for the Exploding Ring, naturally emerged victorious.
Tang Xiao's final move, a self-created technique derived from the Clear Sky Nine Strikes—the "Killing Strike"—allowed him to forcefully defeat Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, even as they unleashed their ninth soul skills!
Even when fighting together, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian couldn't withstand this move!!
However, since this battle was meant to be a test rather than a life-and-death struggle, none of the three went all out. They all held back.
If they had truly fought with their full strength, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian would have been severely injured.
But Tang Xiao would have had no chance of leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family alive.
Although there was a significant gap in their levels, it was only about 20%. With Yu Yuanzhen at the 95th rank and Yu Luomian, who was at the 92nd rank but had strength comparable to a 95th-rank Title Douluo, they could easily close the gap and even surpass it!
After the battle was decided, Tang Xiao left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family with minor injuries.
Watching Tang Xiao's retreating figure, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian's expressions turned extremely grim.
Although they hadn't suffered much loss in this battle—in fact, they had gained quite a bit—since their share of the Moon Pavilion's profits had increased from 10% to 30%, they had made a substantial profit.
Moreover, from the very beginning, Yu Yuanzhen hadn't planned to monopolize the Moon Pavilion's profits.
Thus, getting 30% was the best outcome for the family.
However, Tang Xiao's act of single-handedly defeating the two of them was a loud slap in the face for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
He had come alone, defeated them, and then left unscathed.
This was undoubtedly a humiliating event!
And if all the Title Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had come today, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would have been in real trouble.
After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family currently only had two Title Douluo!
The Nine Crowns of the True Dragon weren't here, and if a real fight broke out, the losses would be devastating!
However, this battle wasn't without its benefits.
Yu Luomian seemed to have gained some insight from the battle and might soon break through to the 93rd rank!
As for Yu Yuanzhen, his anger toward Tang Xiao had also given him some inspiration, and he felt he might be able to break through to the 96th rank in a few years.
This was undoubtedly a good thing.
After leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Tang Xiao didn't return to the sect immediately. Instead, he went to the Blue Tyrant Academy.
The Blue Tyrant Academy also held a 10% share of the Moon Pavilion's profits, so Tang Xiao had no reason not to try and reclaim it.
But when he discovered that the dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy was also a 95th-rank Title Douluo, and that he also saw Dugu Bo, who had also reached the 95th rank, within the academy, Tang Xiao immediately abandoned any thoughts of reclaiming the profits.
He turned around and headed back to the sect without even visiting the Moon Pavilion.
They were all too powerful to provoke. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was one thing—with Ning Fengzhi's support, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were practically equivalent to 96th and 97th-rank Super Douluo.
Without the Exploding Ring technique, Tang Xiao had no confidence in defeating Sword Douluo!
And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Blue Tyrant Academy together had four 95th-rank Super Douluo-level combatants.
Tang Xiao didn't believe that the Blue Tyrant Academy and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had no connection.
Even if they didn't, the massive profits from the Moon Pavilion would surely bring them together!
With such a lineup, neither the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were opponents the Clear Sky Sect could afford to provoke.
Thus, Tang Xiao gave up on the idea of confronting them further.
After seeing the strength of the opposing forces, Tang Xiao's only thought now was to find their ancestor Tang Chen.
If they could find Tang Chen and bring him back to the sect, not only could the Clear Sky Sect make a comeback, but they could also reclaim all the Moon Pavilion profits that had been taken by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!
After returning to the sect, Tang Xiao honestly reported everything he had learned.
When the elders heard the details, they all fell silent and didn't dare to complain further.
They hadn't expected that in just over a decade, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had quietly amassed four 95th-rank Super Douluo-level combatants.
And one of them was Dugu Bo, a powerhouse in large-scale battles!
Unless they could kill Dugu Bo immediately, they would face the devastating effects of his Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.
The poison of a Super Douluo-level Jade Phosphor Serpent might even be too much for the five elders to handle.
If Dugu Bo were allowed to act freely, he could single-handedly destroy the Clear Sky Sect!
And if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's two Title Douluo joined the fight, the combined forces of the two sects would have six 95th-rank Super Douluo-level combatants, easily overwhelming the Clear Sky Sect!
The Clear Sky Sect's so-called six Title Douluo now seemed like a joke.
Even the usually confident and proud Tang Lie silently shut his mouth, not daring to speak.
Although they all wielded the Clear Sky Hammer, not everyone could use the Exploding Ring technique or fight above their level.
The reason Tang Hao and Tang Xiao could fight above their level was largely due to the legacy left by Tang Chen.
Most Clear Sky Sect members were just ordinary Clear Sky Hammer soul masters, not capable of such feats.
In the end, faced with the overwhelming strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the five elders had no choice but to accept the situation.
However, after a long silence, a new argument broke out.
This time, the argument was over the distribution of the 40% share of the Moon Pavilion's profits!
After years of seclusion, the five elders had grown accustomed to a life of luxury. Now that they had to tighten their belts, they were naturally unwilling.
Thus, the five elders immediately began arguing over how to divide the profits among their respective factions.
Watching this scene, Tang Xiao's already troubled eyes filled with despair.
The Clear Sky Sect was surrounded by powerful enemies, yet the sect's higher-ups weren't working together to face the threat. Instead, they were arguing over the Moon Pavilion's profits, on the verge of internal conflict.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao even began to wonder if reclaiming the 40% share of the Moon Pavilion's profits had been the right decision.
"Sigh, Brother Hao, I'm sorry you had to see this. I've let the sect fall into such chaos."
Tang Xiao looked at Tang Hao and smiled bitterly.
