Zhu Zhuyun realized with a sudden understanding, "No wonder the Spirit Empire has frequently targeted our mineral and agricultural resources. With their current capabilities, they simply cannot sustain the consumption of prolonged warfare."
Davis also saw the light and, extending the thought, added, "Therefore, the key to defeating the Spirit Empire lies in prolonging the conflict, forcing them to be overwhelmed and run out of supplies!"
Tang San cupped his hands in a bow to the two emperors seated above, "Your Majesties, Tang San proposes that, building on yesterday's victory, we use Xilu City as a base to launch a counter-offensive into the surrounding lost territories. Once our supply lines are established, we can strike directly at the heart of the Spirit Empire!"
Dai Hao and Xue Beng pondered for a moment and had no objections.
Next, the issue of the distribution of material and human support arose.
Tang San clearly stated that his Tang Sect would spare no effort in providing assistance and participating in the war. Ning Rongrong, representing the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile宗, echoed the same sentiment.
However, Tang Sui did not openly deploy the combat power of the Slaughter City, merely tacitly agreeing to stand with Tang San in his capacity as Vice Sect Master of the Tang Sect.
With the major details settled, Dai Mubai stood up and addressed Dai Hao and Xue Beng, "Father, Your Majesty Xue Beng, the Shrek Nine Monsters are willing to contribute our combat strength. However, as the leader of the Nine Monsters, I hope both your Majesties can grant us one request."
He said, lowering his head.
Dai Hao raised his hand in a gesture of reassurance, "Mubai, speak your mind."
Dai Mubai looked up and stated directly, "Yesterday, the Sea God's power that Xiao San displayed shook the heavens and earth, but we all hope he can continue his cultivation and complete the remaining two trials to become the true Sea God."
Tang San froze.
This matter had not been discussed with him beforehand!
Seeing Dai Hao and Xue Beng fall into thought, Tang San stepped forward and said, "Completing the trials is certainly important, but I am more worried about everyone on the front lines. We should make plans at least after the war situation stabilizes."
"Third Brother, this isn't just for you," Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San. "The battlefield is unpredictable, and no one knows what trump cards the Spirit Empire still holds. The sooner you become a god, the greater your help to us will be."
"Yes, Third Brother. Now that Sui Sui has entered the ranks of Titled Douluo, and with Sui Sui accompanying us. We believe in Sui Sui, and we also believe you can definitely complete all the Sea God trials. By then, we nine monsters together will be truly complete." Ning Rongrong walked to Tang Sui's side, and the two exchanged a look filled with trust.
Hearing this, the gazes of most of those present unconsciously fell upon the low-key Tang Sui, with looks of astonishment and joy.
Among them, the shocked gazes of the three deans were the most obvious.
Who would have thought that Tang Sui had actually achieved such a feat!
The joy was naturally on Xue Beng's side.
Although Tang San was temporarily absent, Tang Sui was present!
Furthermore, Tang Sui had already become a strong individual at the Titled Douluo level, so what was there to hesitate about?!
Xue Beng slightly raised his chin and made the decision, "Since that is the case, then we shall eagerly await the Blue Hao King's return after becoming a god!"
No one else had any objections.
The alliance meeting drew to a close. Xue Beng and Dai Hao still needed to discuss the specific contract matters in detail, finalize the agreement, and exchange gifts.
Tang San, Tang Sui, and Xiao Wu temporarily excused themselves, as they still needed to go to Sunset Forest to finalize matters with the Clear Sky School.
The three spent two and a half hours traveling back to Sunset Forest. Tang Hao and A Yin, who had been waiting long before, stood at the valley entrance as soon as they sensed Tang San's group approaching.
Tang Sui set up a demon power anchor point on the spot, directly placing the Sky Blue Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape into her domain and activating the demon power anchor point in the Slaughter City to transport them back to the Slaughter City for safekeeping. Su Dan Novel Network.
Half an hour later, Tang Sui emerged from her dispersed domain and said to the worried Xiao Wu, "Da Ming and Er Ming have been handed over to Snake Uncle for placement."
Xiao Wu felt a slight relief. Tang San looked at his parents, "Dad, Mom, then let's head to the Clear Sky School as well."
"Alright."
Tang Hao and A Yin nodded.
The family of five headed straight for the secluded village of the Clear Sky School.
The Clear Sky School's secluded village was located three hundred li east of Heaven Dou City.
All five of them were at the Soul Saint level or above. With their walking speed, and coupled with Tang Sui's two altered soul skills that provided a total 55% speed amplification, they arrived on the dirt road five hundred meters from the village in less than an hour.
Although Tang Hao had given Tang San and Tang Sui a map of the place, that map was actually provided by his sister, Tang Yuehua. He himself, unable to overcome the hurdle in his heart, felt ashamed to visit the sect and had never set foot there.
As the poor and dilapidated small mountain village came into view, A Yin, standing beside Tang Hao, clearly sensed her husband's dejected mood. She silently took his rough, calloused hand and gave him a gentle smile.
Tang Hao felt a warmth in his heart, but the melancholy and a sense of sorrow over the changes of time still lingered.
Once upon a time, the Clear Sky School was the foremost sect in the land, yet now it had fallen to such a state, even having to use such a dilapidated mountain village as its external gateway.
Tang Hao, who had grown up in the sect, felt an indescribable sadness.
Tang San looked at his parents holding hands, then at Tang Hao's missing hand and leg. His gaze dimmed as he said, "Dad, don't think too much. If Elder Tian refuses to take us in, we'll leave after paying respects to Grandpa."
He had been hesitating all the way here, wondering if his parents would have a difficult time at the Clear Sky School, given the long-standing resentment towards his father within the sect.
Tang Sui looked at her brother, who had finally come to terms with himself, her expression unchanged, but in her heart, she silently gave him a thumbs-up.
As for why she didn't say anything aloud—
"No, Xiao San, no matter what attitude the sect has towards us, we are still a part of the sect, and the martial soul we use is the Clear Sky Hammer passed down from the sect."
Tang Hao's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice.
Tang San, who had been reprimanded, opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but held back.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang Hao, then at Tang San, and like A Yin, silently held Tang San's hand, offering support and encouragement.
Tang Sui lowered her eyes.
Although she also inherited the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, she had not used it much, nor had she attached any spirit rings to it, until now…
If possible, she really didn't want to add 'disciple of the Clear Sky School' to her identity.
What's more, if the attitude of the Clear Sky School was still as hostile this time around…
Tang Sui concealed the coldness in her eyes and followed her family's pace towards the village entrance.
A simple wooden sign overgrown with moss served as the village entrance notice board, planted in the loose soil.
Several villagers carrying hoes or pushing small carts of grain saw the arrival of the family of five, their faces expressionless.
This was not because they recognized Tang San and his group, but precisely the opposite; they did not recognize Tang San and his companions and simply showed their unwelcomeness to outsiders.
