["Sect Master, after this display of cultivation, our Qingdi Sect is probably enough to become famous throughout the World!"]
["Exactly! That Old orangutan, serves him right for not joining the Qingdi Sect!"]
["Once this selection grand ceremony for the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects is over, and the Sect Master leads our Qingdi Sect to the top of the Upper Three Sects, I bet that Old orangutan will regret it to his very bones!"]
["Hmph! Just let him go be that Tang Hao's old servant!"]
[...]
[After gathering around, Bai He, Niu Gao, Yang Wudi, and the others all had faces flushed red with excitement, chiming in one after another.]
White World, Heaven Dou Imperial City.
The residence of the Strength Clan.
When he saw Niu Gao and Yang Wudi dissing him in the comparison video, Tai Tan's face instantly stiffened. He couldn't help but clench his fists, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
As a Spirit Master, seeing in the comparison video that Tang Chuan had bestowed opportunities upon his old friends Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi, greatly raising their cultivation and improving their Aptitudes...
Moreover, the Spirits of Bai He and Niu Gao had even evolved.
The cultivation of all three was now close to or had already reached rank eighty-nine, and they clearly had the Opportunity to break through to Titled Douluo.
Who wouldn't be envious of this?
In any case, deep down, Tai Tan was incredibly envious.
However, when he thought about how Tang Chuan was the son of his master, Tang Hao, yet didn't show the slightest gratitude for his master's upbringing...
Well... although his master's upbringing was indeed a bit lacking.
But at least there was the grace of giving birth to him!
As a son, shouldn't he learn to be grateful and show proper filial piety to his parents?
On this point, Tang San of the Black World did very well.
Yet the Tang Chuan of their White World was disobedient and unfilial, even going so far as to attack his master Tang Hao in the comparison video.
This was simply turning heaven and earth upside down!
Because in the Strength Clan, Tai Tan's education for his son, grandson, and the Family was also that they must be united, and must be filial to parents and Elders.
Therefore, Tai Tan was completely unable to accept Tang Chuan's behavior.
Coupled with his loyalty to his master Tang Hao...
This made it completely impossible for Tai Tan to acknowledge Tang Chuan.
That was why Bai He, Niu Gao, and Yang Wudi had previously come to the Strength Clan, wanting to persuade Tai Tan to join the Qingdi Sect together.
But Tai Tan had resolutely refused.
However, seeing the various benefits his three old friends received in the original future of the comparison video after joining the Qingdi Sect, as well as how their families flourished and gained a better future...
Tai Tan still couldn't help but feel some envy in his heart.
But now, he had already refused.
The die was cast!
Tai Tan's self-esteem, pride, and loyalty to Tang Hao prevented him from turning back.
He could only force himself to believe in his heart.
This Tang Chuan is nothing more than a disobedient and unfilial rebel!
If someone can be so disobedient and unfilial even to the father who raised him, he must be a cold and unfeeling person.
Everything seen now is nothing but a facade!
It's just a facade!
I, Tai Tan, am loyally protecting my master. There is absolutely no way I am wrong!
The comparison video continued to play.
[On the other side, the drawing of lots quickly concluded.]
[At this time, Tang Chuan had already led the members of the Qingdi Sect to their respective seats, preparing to watch the upcoming first round of the Sect duels.]
[Although the subsequent matches were for the Lower Four Sects selection and had no Titled Douluo appearing, they were still exceptionally fierce and spectacular.]
[Because the Sects that dared to come and participate in the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects selection were, without exception, renowned and prominent Sects.]
[Within these Sects, there were at least multiple Spirit Masters of the Spirit Saint level.]
[And to compete for those precious points, all the major Sects sent out their elites.]
[Spirit Saints and Spirit Douluos fought fiercely on the stage, revealing all their trump cards.]
[Wind Sword Sect Master Sect Master Feng Bailong's Wind Sword technique was sharp and swift, attacking like a tempest.]
[Furthermore, the wind attribute also granted him the ability to fly.]
[In battle, Sect Master Feng Bailong would either secure victory within a few sword strikes,]
[or, upon encountering a difficult opponent, directly lead the Spirit Saint and Spirit Douluo-level Elders to ride their swords and fly on the wind, using their flight advantage to fight the enemy from a commanding height.]
[Slowly searching for weaknesses during the fight before defeating the enemy!]
[Black Tiger Sect Master Hei Hu possessed the Black-Patterned Demonic Tiger Spirit, which was fierce and overbearing, with astonishing strength and an incredibly violent offensive.]
[The Dragon Snake Sect was led by the Unrivaled Dragon and Snake couple. Their Spirit Fusion Ability, Dragon Snake Joint Attack, now already possessed the combat power of a Titled Douluo. Although it had some shortcomings, its power was still formidable.]
[Forces like the Fire Leopard Sect, Rock Gazelle Sect, and Sparrow Hornet Sect also showed their respective divine abilities, displaying the profound heritage of established powerful Sects.]
[Match after match played out on five massive arenas. The light of colliding Spirit Abilities and the rumbling sounds echoed through the canyon, drawing continuous gasps and cheers from the spectator stands.]
[In the blink of an eye, half a month quietly slipped away.]
[After multiple rounds of brutal round-robin matches,]
[finally, the top four Sects in points were decided, earning the qualification of 'Lower Four Sects Candidates'.]
[They were: the Elephant Armored Academy, whose defense could be described as abnormal; the Wind Sword Sect, whose swordplay was as swift as the wind; the Black Tiger Sect, with its fierce and violent offensive; and the Dragon Snake Sect, which shone brilliantly relying on its Spirit Fusion Ability: Dragon Snake Joint Attack.]
[According to the rules, there should have been a round where the 'Lower Four Sects Candidates' challenge the 'Upper Three Sects Candidates'.]
[These four Sects had the right to choose to challenge any one of the Clear Sky Sect, Sacred Dragon Sect, or Qingdi Sect.]
[If the challenge succeeded, they could replace them and enter the Upper Three Sects selection sequence.]
[However, when Chrysanthemum Douluo announced the start of the challenge segment and asked if the four Sects wished to initiate a challenge, the scene fell into a brief, awkward silence.]
[Hu Yan Zhen, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Academy who was tall, burly, and built like a small mountain of flesh, glanced at the lineup of the Upper Three Sects Candidates. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and he scratched his head with an awkward smile.]
["On behalf of the Elephant Armored Academy, I forfeit the challenge."]
[Hei Hu, the Sect Master of the Black Tiger Sect, was also not someone to invite humiliation upon himself. He had a clear understanding of himself and his own Sect. Grinning to reveal his forest-white teeth, his voice was coarse.]
["Our Black Tiger Sect also forfeits."]
[Wind Sword Sect Master Sect Master Feng Bailong was expressionless, his words equally concise and to the point.]
["My Wind Sword Sect also forfeits."]
[Finally, Dragon Duke Meng Shu of the Dragon Snake Sect and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang looked at each other, both shaking their heads with bitter smiles.]
["My Dragon Snake Sect also forfeits the challenge."]
[What a joke!]
[Challenge a Sect that possesses a Titled Douluo?]
[In the Spirit Master system, the two adjacent Realms with the greatest disparity in strength are from Spirit Emperor to Spirit Saint, and from Spirit Douluo to Titled Douluo!]
[That is not just a simple difference of one Realm, but a difference as vast as the clouds and the mud, like an insurmountable chasm!]
[Of course, it is not that there are no Heaven-Defying monsters in this World who can cross Realms, slaying Spirit Saints while below the Spirit Saint level, or slaying Titled Douluos while below the Titled Douluo level!]
[For example, Tang Chuan of the Qingdi Sect is one!]
[But among their four major Sects, there was absolutely no such monster!]
[Daring to challenge would only invite humiliation.]
[As for the four Lower Four Sects Candidates coincidentally choosing to forfeit,]
[neither the other Sects nor the spectators on the public viewing platform felt surprised.]
[After all, those were Titled Douluos!]
[With regard to this, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not surprised by this either, announcing loudly,]
["Since the four candidate Sects have all forfeited the challenge!"]
["Then, the qualifications for the Upper Three Sects Candidates remain unchanged."]
["Next, we will directly enter—the Upper Three Sects Ranking Battle!"]
["The three Sects, Clear Sky Sect, Sacred Dragon Sect, and Qingdi Sect, will determine the final Upper Three Sects ranking through battles, according to their points!"]
[And afterward, Chrysanthemum Douluo also brought out a tall wooden box again, letting the three Upper Three Sects Candidates send representatives to draw lots,]
[thereby deciding who would go on stage first!]
[For this, the Sacred Dragon Sect naturally sent Tuoba Xi, the Clear Sky Sect sent Tang Xiao, and the Qingdi Sect sent Tang Chuan.]
[After the drawing of lots,]
[it was seen that Tang Chuan drew the number one lot, Tang Xiao drew the number two lot, and Tuoba Xi drew the number three lot.]
[According to the rules, next would be Tang Chuan fighting Tang Xiao first, and then fighting Tuoba Xi!]
[Immediately following that, Tang Xiao would fight Tuoba Xi!]
