Chapter 516 What a pair of star-crossed lovers!
"Just as I said, as long as you can meet these three conditions, we will unconditionally support you as our sect leader and unconditionally endorse your decision."
The Elder with the long eyebrows spoke with an air of condescension, making Wang Dong feel like he was about to vomit.
This arrogant attitude made it seem as if they were still the invincible Haotian Sect when Tang Chen was around.
Wang Dong'er wasn't imitating Tang San to apologize on behalf of her father, so of course she wouldn't indulge them.
She looked at the Elder with long eyebrows, a half-smile on her face: "So, only by fulfilling the three conditions you mentioned can I gain your support and unconditional backing?"
The Elder with Long Eyebrows nodded and said, "That's natural. If the Haotian Sect wants to regain its former glory, then since you are going to take this position, you must rebuild the sect's splendor."
"Of these three conditions, I don't think the first one will be too difficult for you; with the strength you've shown, you should also have a chance with the second one; the only difficult one is the third condition, the 100,000-year soul ring."
"Back then, Tang Chen's ancestor's ninth spirit ring was a 100,000-year spirit ring, and the next generation of Haotian Douluo after him, Tang Hao, also had a 100,000-year ninth spirit ring."
"Although your sixth spirit ring is already 100,000 years old, if your ninth spirit ring is not a 100,000-year spirit ring, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the name of the Clear Sky Douluo and the prestige of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"I think your first and third conditions are quite simple, but the second condition is very difficult for me to meet," Wang Dong'er said, shaking her head.
The long-browed elder raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What's so difficult about that? You could defeat the Seventh Elder, so it's not that you can't bring back the head of a Title Douluo after reaching the Soul Douluo level? Or are you afraid of the Spirit Hall?"
Wang Dong'er shook her head with amusement.
It was clearly the Haotian Sect that needed a genius like him to lead the new generation, but this long-browed elder spoke of it as if it were an immense favor.
Wang Dong'er believed that this kind of dog training rhetoric was definitely not the first time it had appeared in the Haotian Sect.
Perhaps the Clear Sky Sect was incredibly confident after the emergence of Tang Chen, but after Tang Chen's disappearance and Tang Hao's troubles, this unprecedented confidence was completely suppressed by the Spirit Hall, forcing these people to seek confidence internally and resort to playing games.
This technique works on Tang San, but to Wang Dong'er it's like fly larvae.
Moreover, Tang San knelt down to plead guilty on behalf of his father when he was young, so it's hard to say that Tang Hao was without fault.
After becoming powerful, he transformed into someone whose father was innocent and whose sect, Haotian Sect, was guilty.
At this point, Haotian Sect dared not say anything.
In a sense, Tang Hao, Tang San and his son, and the Haotian Sect were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.
"This one, um—an elder with very long eyebrows." Wang Dong'er looked at the elder with long eyebrows.
"He is the Second Elder," Tang Xiao said with a cough.
"Oh, this Second Elder." Wang Dong'er's voice was steady and powerful, and her words caused several elders, including the sect leader Tang Xiao, to change color.
"I think you've misunderstood something."
"From beginning to end, it was never about me wanting to acknowledge my ancestors or do anything for the Haotian Sect."
"It's not that I need to meet your conditions to become the sect leader."
"But it's you," Wang Dong'er paused slightly, "who need to prove that you are qualified to be led by me."
"Understand?"
If the group could still hold their tongues after what Wang Dong'er said earlier, their arrogant attitude became immediately apparent when she said "I understand" at the end.
Compared to the condescending attitude of the Second Elder with Long Eyebrows towards his disciple, Wang Dong'er's arrogance was more like a god's disdain for human scheming.
In an instant, the mountaintop became so quiet that only the whistling wind could be heard.
The elders' faces flushed red instantly, and the second elder's long eyebrows twitched violently, his eyes blazing with anger.
Tang Xiao was also stunned. He had expected Wang Dong'er to bargain, but he did not expect her to be so arrogant!
"Insolence!" The Seventh Elder, who had already woken up, glared angrily.
He was already harboring resentment from his previous defeat at Wang Dong'er's hands. "You little brat, do you really think that just because you defeated me, you can do whatever you want in the Haotian Sect? Without the sect's support, what are you!"
"Oh?" Wang Dong'er turned her head, a smile playing on her lips. "Even without the Clear Sky Sect, I am still the possessor of twin martial souls and a 100,000-year sixth-level ring, the youngest Soul Emperor in the history of Soul Masters, and even a future Soul Saint, Soul Douluo..."
Titled Douluo.
"But the Haotian Sect doesn't have me—"
She looked around and said softly, "It's just a cowardly turtle that only dares to hide in the deep mountains."
"You—!" Several elders roared in anger at the same time, and a violent surge of soul power erupted instantly, as if the air itself had frozen.
The Fifth Elder, known for his fiery temper, was already radiating the light of his soul rings.
"It seems that the elders are not good at getting angry at the Spirit Hall, but they are better at bullying the weak and showing off their authority."
"That's enough!"
Tang Xiao, his hair standing on end in anger, said, "Wang Dong'er, you came to the Haotian Sect, yet you neither acknowledge your ancestors nor respect your elders. Now you're using your silver tongue to humiliate the sect. What are your true intentions?!"
"What are your intentions?" Wang Dong'er chuckled softly.
There was no mockery in that laughter, but rather a more unsettling calm.
"Didn't I say from the beginning that I'm here to become the sect leader?"
"If I possess the power to be granted a title in a single battle, I can become the sect leader. Surely you haven't forgotten this condition, have you?"
"Or is it that the entire Haotian Sect, from the sect leader to the elders, is a bunch of sore losers?"
"Hmph!" Tang Xiao sneered. "Even if you obtain the position of sect leader, what can you actually do?"
"What can I do? I can make the Spirit Hall submit to me, do you believe it?" Wang Dong'er looked at Tang Xiao.
"If you can really make the Spirit Hall submit to you, what's wrong with giving you the position of sect leader?" Tang Xiao crossed his arms and sneered.
"Alright. Now hand over the position of sect leader to me." Wang Dong'er stretched out her hand as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Give me any sect leader identification or anything like that now."
Tang Xiao was a little stunned for a moment. He never expected that Wang Dong'er would actually take advantage of the situation.
He looked at the Second Elder with long eyebrows, who pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Wang Dong'er's talent is undeniably strong, and she will surely become the next Tang Chen.
If we can truly bring the Haotian Sect back into the world and make it famous, that would be a wonderful thing.
Wang Dongji's attitude is simply unacceptable.
"Becoming the sect leader doesn't mean that the Haotian Sect is your sole domain," the Second Elder said, staring intently at Wang Dong'er.
"There's no need for the Second Elder to trouble himself with that," Wang Dong'er said calmly.
"Tomorrow I will hold the enthronement ceremony for the sect leader," Tang Xiao said, giving Wang Dong'er a deep look.
