Douluo: A Yin, the weapon spirit, master of both bow and sword

"Tang San, you were born to bear sins. Because of your teacher Yu Xiaogang, our Haotian Sect has lost two titled Douluo elders in succession. This is an irreparable loss."

The Second Elder's deep, solemn voice echoed throughout the hall, booming like thunder.

Tang San remained expressionless, his head bowed as if he were obediently accepting instruction, but in reality, he was seething with anger.

Before I came, my uncle had already said that the Ye Clan had grown strong, and the Haotian Sect wanted to survive the upcoming turmoil on the continent and find an opportunity to take revenge on the Spirit Hall.

Tang San's rapid growth is key to the Clear Sky Sect, and his strength determines whether the Clear Sky Sect will seek revenge against the Spirit Hall.

Tang San followed his uncle's advice, first bowing his head and admitting his father's mistakes, so that when he became powerful in the future, whatever he said would be right.

"Tang San understands, Second Elder. I want to do more for the Clear Sky Sect. Is there anything I can do?"

Tang San lowered his posture, knelt on both knees, and spoke sincerely to the three elders sitting above him, as well as Sect Master Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao nodded secretly, but the Second Elder was slightly taken aback. He originally thought that Tang San would be more assertive and say something like "My father is innocent", but Tang San's reaction greatly shocked him.

Being able to adapt to changing circumstances and assess situations, if Tang San can be like that in the future, he might be able to lead the Haotian Sect even further than Sect Master Tang Chen.

The Third Elder didn't mince words. He pointed angrily at Tang San and said coldly, "Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother died tragically because of Yu Xiaogang. Tang San, the third condition that Second Brother proposed is for you to personally cut off Yu Xiaogang's head. Can you do it?"

"Tang San can do it!"

Tang San said firmly, his eyes showing determination.

Yu Xiaogang destroyed his twin martial souls, and unexpectedly gave his Blue Silver Grass martial soul the ability to absorb blood and increase its soul power.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's actions have become widely known and have even been written into history textbooks, becoming a must-read and must-test knowledge point for every Soul Master. This is an attempt to completely nail Yu Xiaogang to the pillar of shame.

As Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San suffered greatly under Yu Xiaogang's influence, and his reputation on the mainland is often negative.

Tang San clenched his fists. As long as he killed Yu Xiaogang, he could clear his father's name and gain the support of the Haotian Sect.

Such tempting conditions were exactly what Tang San wanted.

"Tang San will do his utmost."

After listening to Tang San's words, the Second Elder nodded slightly: "Yu Xiaogang was your former teacher. Although you have long since severed your master-disciple relationship with him, a disciple killing his master is absolutely intolerable on the continent."

Tang San frowned. If that's the case, then why did you make such a condition?

The Second Elder continued, "But Yu Xiaogang is different. He has already incurred the wrath of the masses. Even if you kill Yu Xiaogang, the world will only say, 'Good!'"

"As for reputation, once you are powerful enough to change everything, will you still care about a mere reputation?"

"Tang San, I humbly accept your instruction."

The Second Elder nodded, stood up, looked at Tang San, and said, "Tang San, come with me."

Tang San, filled with doubt, followed the Second Elder to the backyard.

Tang San arrived at a place of incense offerings. The place was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. At the front of the altar, instead of ancestors, there was a thin book.

"Tang San, kneel down!"

The Second Elder spoke in a low voice.

Tang San knelt down instinctively, then took three incense sticks from the Second Elder, kowtowed three times, and personally placed the incense sticks in the incense burner. The Second Elder, with a look of longing and remembrance, said, "The reason why our Clear Sky Sect became the number one sect in the world back then was because my uncle Tang Chen became a level ninety-nine peerless Douluo in a very short time."

Upon hearing this secret, Tang San was greatly shocked and subconsciously asked, "Where is Sect Master Tang Chen now?"

The Second Elder shook his head and sighed, "We don't know where Second Uncle is right now. If he were still alive, would the Spirit Hall be so arrogant?"

Tang Chen certainly has the ability to do so.

"The second is this secret manual, the Great Sumeru Hammer."

The Second Elder respectfully took down the Great Sumeru Hammer, sighed deeply, and said, "When people get old, they can't help but think of certain things. This Great Sumeru Hammer is a secret technique of the Haotian Sect. It is passed down to only one person per generation. The previous generation was your father, Tang Hao. Even the sect leader was not qualified to learn it."

Tang San looked at the Great Sumeru Hammer with longing and burning eyes. Was this the secret to defeating Ye Ping'an?
"There are no outstanding figures among this generation of disciples, but you, Tang San, possess twin martial souls. Based on this alone, it is only right that you should inherit the Great Sumeru Hammer."

The Second Elder changed the subject, "However, you are not a direct disciple of the Haotian Sect, and your father, Tang Hao, bears the sins of the sect. If I were to pass on the Great Sumeru Hammer to you, your eldest uncle would not say anything, but your third and fourth brothers would definitely be the first to stand up and oppose it. Other Haotian Sect disciples who have reservations about Tang Hao would not let the matter rest either."

"so……"

Tang San held his breath and heard the Second Elder say, "I am betting on you on behalf of the Haotian Sect."

Tang San was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

"Destroy the Spirit Hall?"

Tang San tentatively asked.

The second elder nodded, his eyes burning with hatred.

"Destroying the Spirit Hall is only one aspect; there is another crucial point."

"Taking over the banner of resisting the Spirit Hall from Ye Men."

Tang San's eyes lit up: "Are you planning to make a move against Ye Ping'an?"

The Second Elder shook his head, then nodded: "After the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament ended, I think you also felt the turbulent situation on the continent. After the last incident where the Spirit Hall destroyed seventeen small sects and stood up, the Ye Clan has become a vanguard capable of resisting the Spirit Hall."

There is no friendship or harmony between sects; there is only the exchange of interests.

"As the former number one sect in the world, our Haotian Sect has the strength and the qualifications. We will never forget the grudge that Ye Ping'an killed Tang Hao."

"But now, we cannot turn against the Ye Clan. Putting aside Dugu Bo's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison, the three major components of the Ye Clan were once one of the affiliated sects of my Haotian Sect."

"We thought they would be in a sorry state after leaving the Haotian Sect, but unexpectedly they have come together and formed a force that none of us dare to underestimate."

"In the future struggle against the Spirit Hall, we and the Ye Clan will be both competitors and allies."

Tang San understood the Second Elder's meaning, and he respectfully accepted the manual for the Great Sumeru Hammer from the Second Elder's hands.

"I understand. We should join forces to destroy the Spirit Hall first, so that there will only be one person on the continent who can replace him in his original position."

"Either it's my Haotian Sect, or it's the Ye Clan."
