As Tang Sui had said, everyone present was family, so there was no need to conceal anything. The siblings answered truthfully, one after the other.
Tang Sui: "I'm level 74 now."
Tang San: "I'm a bit behind, only level 67."
"Oh, 74 and 67, you two are cultivating quite fast!"
Titan nodded, with a "no matter your level, I'll support you" attitude. He didn't pay much mind to the siblings' levels, merely offering a casual compliment.
However, his son and grandson, Tenuo and Talung, to his left, stared at the siblings with wide eyes, their jaws dropping.
Titan, recalling the numbers he had just heard, paused. The next second, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the siblings. "Wait, you just said, what levels are you at?!"
Tang Sui blinked. "I'm level 74 in soul power, and my brother is level 67."
The three of them collectively gasped, and Titan's hands trembled with excitement. "This! This! Even the Master, at your age, never had your current strength!"
The siblings, born minutes apart and not by days, were young, yet one had grown to be a Soul Emperor and the other a Soul Saint! What terrifying talent!
He stared intently at the siblings, murmuring, "This is great... truly great! It seems my Clan of Strength finally has a chance to rise!" He had waited for this day for so long.
Tenuo and Talung, having recovered, exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"So, don't be angry with my brother and me. Because of the three conditions, two-thirds have now been met," Tang Sui said dismissively. "Aside from my brother lacking a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and his soul power being a bit lower, I have achieved everything except the soul power. But I believe we will surely complete the remaining conditions in the future."
The grandfather and grandsons were again in disbelief. This time, even Talung, who was accustomed to the siblings' outrageous actions, was stunned. He even gestured with his hands and stammered, "Killing a Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, you... you also accomplished those?!"
Tang Sui smiled. "Otherwise, my soul power wouldn't be this high."
Speaking of which, Tang San sighed and looked at his palm with faint lines. "Thanks to my martial soul's second awakening and that Titled Douluo's soul bone, absorbing it allowed my soul power to break through like this."
"Although the proof of killing that Titled Douluo was absorbed by my brother, as long as my brother uses that soul bone's skill, I believe those sect elders should recognize it. Moreover, with the demise of a level 96 Titled Douluo, if they send people to investigate, they will confirm the intelligence." The siblings spoke in perfect harmony, their coordination remarkable.
The grandfather and grandsons looked at each other. Finally, Titan, as the spokesperson, inquired about Tang San's plans to establish the Tang Sect.
Although they were indifferent to the Clear Sky School, to counter the Spirit Hall and possess enough strength to not depend on others, Tang San and Tang Sui had discussed it in detail the previous night. Tang San had confessed his intention to establish a sect. Just as Tang Sui would undoubtedly lead the City of Slaughter in the future, he, regardless of whether the soul masters in the City of Slaughter would obey, believed it was imperative to establish a force entirely his own, both for his sister to have another reliance and for him to have the confidence to protect his companions.
After discussing some foundational matters for the Tang Sect, such as its location and defensive weapons for disciples, Tang San produced the Flying Dragon Crossbow and enthusiastically exchanged ideas with Titan. Tang Sui leisurely ate snacks on the side, engaging in casual conversation with Tenuo and Talung while waiting for the two weapon enthusiasts to finish their discussion. The consequence was, naturally, an unending debate. It was only when Tang Sui, having finished a plate of snacks, cleared her throat with a semi-clenched fist and coughed twice that the still engrossed Tang San and Titan finally reined themselves in.
"Then how about this, Elder. I will accompany you to Gengxin City then. I also wish to experience the splendor of this city of metal."
Titan nodded. "Very well, Young Master. You've arrived at just the right time. If you had come tomorrow, you likely wouldn't have seen me."
"Oh? Elder, are you embarking on a long journey?" Tang San asked in confusion.
Titan sighed. "Among the affiliated sects of the Clear Sky School, the single-attribute sects like the Clan of Control, Clan of Agility, Clan of Breaking, and our Clan of Strength are the most numerous. After the Clear Sky School went into seclusion, we each made our own living and agreed to gather once every two years."
Tang San understood and then pondered. "Our disruption of the Spirit Hall's actions this time has been effective, but the Spirit Hall remains active, likely with further schemes. The Clear Sky School has been in seclusion for too long, and many new sects have emerged. If we cannot bring down the Upper Three Sects from the shadows, the Spirit Hall may orchestrate a re-selection of the Seven Great Sects, directly displacing the Upper Three Sects from their positions."
Titan nodded. "It is precisely for this reason, and out of a shared sense of being fellow fallen sects, that we rotate our gatherings at different residences every two years."
Tang San looked up. "I see... Elder Titan, if I wish to accompany you, would it be convenient?"
Titan naturally understood Tang San's intention to connect with the other three clans, but... He gave a wry smile. "Accompanying is no issue. However, the other three clans have suffered greatly in recent years due to the Spirit Hall's retaliation and harbor deep resentment towards the Clear Sky School. If you hope to gain their support, it will likely be in vain."
Tang San pondered for a moment and looked at Tang Sui. "Sui Sui, I still want to try and do something for them. After all, I was somewhat the catalyst for Father, which led to all these subsequent entanglements. Would you be able to stay at Shrek Academy for now?"
Tang Sui shook her head. "I'll go with you. Relying solely on your words, I don't think you can 'persuade' them." Her 'persuade' encompassed both verbal and physical means. In this world, the understanding of everything was rather uniform, with most opting for duels and settling grievances directly, unlike the schemes of the previous life, because this world was one where strength reigned supreme.
The worry on Titan's face dissipated, and he smiled at Tang Sui. "Of course, that's not a problem. Sect Master, it seems the young lady is quite familiar with such matters. While your approach is comprehensive, you can also exchange opinions with the young lady occasionally to learn from each other." As the elder patriarch of the Clan of Strength, he had held his position for many years and possessed a keen eye, discerning that Tang Sui also had considerable experience in handling such affairs. Su Dan Novel Network. Tang San paused, a helpless curve forming at the corner of his lips, and agreed. He knew Elder Titan was worried he was too soft-hearted, but he didn't realize that his and Sui Sui's methods were fundamentally similar. When decisiveness was needed, he would not falter.
