Chapter 117: I, Tang Hao, Want to Challenge Qin Xuan
"If Senior Tang Chen returns one day, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is willing to honor the Clear Sky Clan," Ning Fengzhi declared, his words full of fighting spirit. "Then, we will unite with the Two Great Empires and return a bright and clear world to the Douluo Continent!"
However, Tang Tian knew his own situation. His father had gone seeking godhood and might never return. To agree to Ning Fengzhi's absurd plan would be to ignite a war and bring disaster to his clan.
"Clan Master Ning, you exaggerate," he said, standing and turning his back to issue an order of dismissal. "This matter is not for me alone to decide. Xiao'er, see them out."
"Clan Master Ning, please," Tang Xiao said indifferently.
"Clan Master Tang, Brother Tang Xiao, Brother Tang Hao, Fengzhi bids farewell," Ning Fengzhi said, not angered by the dismissal. His purpose for coming had already been achieved. He would now go and meet with Yu Yuanzhen.
As soon as he left, the room fell silent.
"Father, just now Ning Fengzhi..." Tang Xiao began hesitantly.
"His thoughts are too deep," Tang Tian interrupted. "You should interact with him less in the future." He then turned to his other son. "Hao'er, your killing intent still seems to be uncontrollable. It just so happens that your sister is in Spirit City. Her innate domain can calm your killing intent. Why don't you return to the clan with me first to purify yourself?"
"Father, please spare me," Tang Hao said awkwardly. "Letting me learn etiquette and musical instruments with Yuehua? I really can't handle it. What if I expose myself? Whoever dares to provoke me, I'll hammer him."
Seeing his father's frown, he quickly added, "There are still six years until the training period is over. Why don't I go back to Yuehua after I finish? By then, I might even be inheriting the position of Clan Master."
Tang Tian pondered for a moment. "Alright. Wait until you finish your training. But don't even think about backing out then."
"Definitely, definitely," Tang Hao said, then changed the subject. "Father, tomorrow at the Sect Competition, I plan to publicly challenge Qin Xuan of Spirit Hall."
Tang Tian frowned but did not refuse. "Why?"
"I want to win prestige for the clan," Tang Hao said seriously. "It is a fact that Spirit Hall does not take our Clear Sky Clan seriously. If I were to defeat their famous Second Majesty in a public sparring match, they would have no reason to make trouble for us. Our clan is not as easily bullied as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
After listening, Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction. "I am very pleased that you can think this way. Go ahead boldly. Father fully supports you."
In his son, he saw a reflection of his younger, more vigorous self. It was time to let the world see the Clear Sky Clan's heritage. Besides, he did not believe that Qin Xuan, despite his hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, would be a match for his son. Tang Hao had mastered the "Nine-Nine Return to One" of the Disorderly Wind Splitting Hammer Technique, all of the Clear Sky Nine Strikes, possessed the Slaughter God Domain, and had a nearly complete set of high-level Spirit Bones. He had too many advantages.
"Thank you, Father," Tang Hao bowed excitedly.
"However," Tang Tian added, "you still cannot kill him. Jingni Douluo once said that anyone who dares to harm Qin Xuan, she will hunt them down to the ends of the earth. You are still young; you cannot be foolish."
"I thought that kid was so amazing," Tang Hao grinned. "Turns out he's just a gigolo."
As soon as he spoke, the oppressive atmosphere vanished. The three father and sons burst into laughter in unison.
