45 Confront Tai Tan

At first light this morning, Tai Long had prepared to sleep a while before returning back since his grandpa flatly rejected his proposal . But he had been dragged up by his grandfather and directly brought to the Academy. His grandfather hadn't told him what he was up to and even his father Tai Nuo could only keep quiet in front of his overbearing approach.

Tai Nuo understood very clearly that this father of his wasn't someone with a good temper, that nature of shielding one's mistakes was even more difficult to deal with than his own. It was very possible he would do something impulsive. Originally, if it weren't for this, then his clan wouldn't have… Thinking of this, Tai Nuo couldn't help secretly sighing, in his heart praying that Tai Tan wouldn't be too rash. After all, that Hansen was only a teenaged child. Tai Tan shouldn't be too serious with him.

Right then was when Hansen and Zhu Zhuqing came here.

"Who is Hansen?"

Tai Tan asked indifferently. Even though his voice was somewhat aged, it still gave people a kind of sonorous feeling. That wording brimming with force seemed to make even the air in the surroundings vibrate.

"I am."

Hansen unhurriedly stepped forward, at the same time pushing the spirit power within his body to its peak condition, prepared to adapt to any situation. After all, the other party was a soul Douluo anyway, not to mention he is known for being impulsive.

"Yesterday it was you who injured my grandson?"

Tai Tan asked indifferently while secretly examining Hansen.

"Yes."

Hansen nodded once again.

He didn't want to explain more. From his point of view, with Tai Tan's nature , his explanations wouldn't hold any significance.

"Good."

A light suddenly flashed in Tai Tan's eyes, and an incomparably forceful feeling abruptly erupted from his body. Tai Nuo and Tai Long standing at his side couldn't endure and were both simultaneously pushed back four or five steps before they could stand steady. Including Hansen and Zhu Zhuqing all the Academy students collectively recoiled a step. The atmosphere became thick like liquid in this instant.

"You injuring my grandson is all because of his lack of skill. But my One Strength Clan isn't so incompetent. As an elder I wouldn't take advantage of the young , so how about we make a bet?"

Tai Tan said calmly and started his plan.

Hansen looked straight at him and asked calmly.

"What bet?"

Tai Tan casually waved his hand, and a stick of incense flew out from his sleeve, flying ten meters straight like an arrow to nail into a not distant building , the stick of incense simultaneously igniting.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding students couldn't help simultaneously cry out in alarm.

Relying only on strength, throwing a stick of incense more than ten meters to pierce the concrete wall , without any damage to the stick of incense, what kind of strength was this?

Hansen saw even more than others. The reason that stick of incense ignited wasn't because it had been lit in advance, but because it had travelled too fast and ignited from the friction with the air and he was keen enough to catch this minute detail.

"I won't attack, I also won't release my spirit. As long as you can endure the pressure I release until this stick of incense has burnt out, it will be your win. I'll have Tai Long kowtow to you in apology.And your little bet from before is also considered null. If not, I want you to become a member of our One Strength Clan."

"This isn't fair."

Hansen said.

This was the exact moment Hansen was waiting for. As someone who has read the original book, he knew that as long as the conditions are right, Tai Tan would most likely do this. This was also the reason why he allowed Tai Long to tell his grandfather about this matter. And Hansen has also planned the next steps.Everything was within his calculations.

Glaring at Tai Tan he said:

"If you lose, your grandson only have to kowtow in apology. Not to mention that I will loose a good subordinate. Even though you'll lose a bit of face, it's still no great loss . But if I lose, I will have to join your clan, bound for a lifetime. How is this fair? "

He deliberately lowered the pace of his speech so that the stick of incense on the gate could burn a bit more.

Tai Tan calmly said:

"Then how do you think it should be done?"

He asked Hansen.

"Very simple. If you lose, you'll have to join my sect. "

"Oh? You also have a clan?"

Tai Tan looked at Hansen, his eyes revealing a trace of doubt.

"I do, my clan is called The Dark Order ."

? Tai Tan searched his brain for a moment, but didn't have any memory of such a faction , let alone a formidable one. Immediately he believed that this was just a child's talk. He immediately nodded without hesitation, saying:

"Fine. It's agreed. If I lose , I will join your Sect. If you are unable to endure, you need to only withdraw beyond a twenty meter range from me or fall to the ground. I will withdraw my force."

Hansen's eyes displayed a cunning light. In fact, if he used everything he had and coupled with the surprise factor. It wasn't certain who will loose even in a full blown battle. But that way, he couldn't make Tai Tan surrender to him completely. And Imperius curse would be his only way. However this will damage the reputation of his sect even before it started. That's why he chose this round about method.

Tai Tan didn't seem to care a whit about the stick of incense burning a bit during their previous discussion. After once again indicating that Hansen should be careful, the surroundings began to change.

The students standing around watching the fight could all see the air between Hansen and Tai Tan distort, rippling like a water surface, but nothing could be felt. But in that instant Hansen's expression suddenly changed, completely withdrawing a step. At the same time he immediately released his martial soul.

Violently surging berserk oppressive force filled every part of Hansen's body in an instant . He could even hear his bones start to make slight noises under the pressure.

On the other hand, Tai Tan's fierce eyes displayed astonishment. In order to win this bet he had released about sixty percent of his pressure from the start. To him, the other party was just a fourth something ranked Soul master . This alone should already be enough to suppress the enemy.

On the surface Tai Tan appeared extremely bold and powerful, but in fact his mind was extremely meticulous. Since coming here, even in the previous discussion and the proposal of the bet, he hadn't said anything about what level of Spirit Master he was, for he was afraid that Hansen would chicken out. But that would be counterproductive since he came here in the hopes of being able to recruit him as a future power of his clan. His clan had already begun to decline, to Tai Tan this was something that had to be done.
