Chapter 175: Shocking Ning Fengzhi
Tang Yuehua seemed to see through Tang San's thoughts, gently patting his shoulder and comforting him: "Xiao San, I know you carry a lot, but don't be too hasty. You are only sixteen or seventeen, yet you have already become a five-ring Battle Soul King, and you possess both the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer Twin Martial Souls. Your potential is limitless, not one bit worse than Long Chen of the same generation."
"Aunt, I will definitely work hard to catch up, and even surpass him!"
Tang Yuehua nodded with satisfaction and reminded him: "You have fused with the Soul Bone left behind by your mother; make sure you never let too many people know about this. That is a 100,000-year Soul Bone, containing immeasurable power and temptation. Once leaked, it will bring endless trouble."
"Yes, I understand. Besides you, I have only told Teacher and Xiao Wu."
"Then I can rest easy."
Tang Yuehua's gaze shifted to the window, as if recalling the past, and her voice carried a hint of imperceptible sorrow: "Seeing you and Xiao Wu, I cannot help but think of your father back then. He also fell in love with a Soul Beast that had taken human form. That path was even more rugged and treacherous than one could imagine. Xiao San, you must be mentally prepared; the road ahead may be even more difficult."
Tang San's gaze did not waver in the slightest, and he replied firmly: "Aunt, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will not give up on Xiao Wu. I will walk hand in hand with her."
Tang Yuehua sighed softly. "You are just like your father, both possessing an unyielding nature. I only hope that you can overcome all difficulties and welcome the happiness that belongs to you."
Tang San thought of the Soul Bone and asked: "Aunt, my father once said that he had two Soul Bones inherited from the Clear Sky Sect. Besides those, he had four other Soul Bones he obtained by chance. If he could not withstand the energy shock from the Soul Ring explosion, those Soul Bones would likely..."
Tang San did not continue. Although he felt that his father was already dead, he knew his aunt would still find it hard to accept this fact.
Tang Yuehua's expression suddenly became sharp. "Although your father was expelled from the Sect, that was not truly your grandfather's wish; your grandfather always had him in his heart. After your grandfather passed away, your uncle and I had always hoped your father could return. We were willing to offer him forgiveness and acceptance. But the self-reproach and guilt in your father's heart became a chasm he could not cross. If the Soul Bones on his body really fall into the hands of others, the Clear Sky Sect will never sit idly by. We will seek justice for him and protect the honor of our Clan!"
Tang Yuehua's tone revealed an unquestionable determination.
Then, she changed the subject, her tone becoming gentle: "Xiao San, you have the blood of the Tang Family flowing in your veins; you are the hope of the new generation of our Clan. After you return from the Star Dou Forest, I will take you back to the Sect to see your uncle. He will surely be very happy to see you."
"Okay. I also want to see my uncle."
Tang Yuehua smiled with satisfaction.
At this age, Tang San was even more outstanding than his father Tang Hao was back then. Because of the mistakes Tang Hao made, the Clear Sky Sect was besieged and hunted by the Spirit Hall, and the number one Sect in the world could only hide in the deep mountains, living in seclusion. But the Clear Sky Sect always had the ambition to return to its former glory. Tang Yuehua saw the hope for the revival of the Clear Sky Sect in Tang San. Among the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls and had reached the Battle Soul King level at sixteen or seventeen, was undoubtedly the most outstanding and promising one. Tang Yuehua believed that the future of the Clear Sky Sect would be even more glorious because of Tang San's existence.
Tang San chatted with Tang Yuehua for a while longer, then bid her farewell and left the Yuexuan.
The next day, Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin arrived at Shrek Academy.
Seeing Tang San again after two years, Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Third Brother, you are finally back!"
Seeing his old friend again, a warm current also surged in Tang San's heart. "Rongrong, haven't seen you in two years, you've become even more beautiful and have more temperament."
Ning Fengzhi stood to the side with a gentle smile on his face, unable to hide his joy at Tang San's return. As the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he knew the importance of Tang San. The Hidden Weapon designed and crafted by Tang San could greatly enhance the overall combat power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After the Strength Clan was wiped out, the supply of Zhuge Divine Crossbows was completely cut off. Ning Fengzhi had been hoping for Tang San's early return to solve this problem.
"Xiao San, it's great that you returned safely."
Tang San nodded slightly and said softly to Ning Rongrong beside him: "Rongrong, I have good news for you; Xiao Wu is also at Shrek Academy."
"Really? Where is she?"
"She's in the small wooden house in the back garden, waiting for you. Go quickly."
"Okay."
Learning that Xiao Wu had also returned, Ning Rongrong was very excited and ran quickly towards the back garden.
Tang San said to Ning Fengzhi: "Uncle Ning, I asked you to come because I have a favor to ask."
"Xiao San, feel free to speak your mind. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely do my best." Ning Fengzhi looked calm. Yu Xiaogang had sent someone to invite him and Sword Douluo, only saying that Tang San had returned, without telling him more.
"Uncle Ning, I would like to ask you and Grandpa Sword to accompany me to the forest center of the Star Dou Forest. Besides the teachers at Shrek Academy, you are the only people I can trust."
Subsequently, Tang San told Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo about his and Tang Hao's encounter in the forest center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After hearing this, both of them were shocked. They never imagined that the arrogant Clear Sky Douluo might have died in the forest center of the Star Dou Forest.
Ning Fengzhi could not help but widen his eyes: "Xiao San, are you overthinking? How could Clear Sky Douluo..."
"I also hope my feeling is wrong. That is why I want you and Grandpa Sword to accompany me."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "I really didn't expect that Long Chen had already reached the Spirit Douluo level and possessed two 100,000-year Soul Rings."
"Yes. Not only that, he can also join forces with that healer Ye Lingling to perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, whose power is not inferior to the Spirit Ability of a Titled Douluo."
After hearing Tang San's words, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo looked at each other. Ning Fengzhi originally wanted to eliminate Long Chen and Ye Lingling after her Martial Soul evolution, and now they could not be left alone. Long Chen had two 100,000-year Soul Rings, which meant he had two 100,000-year Soul Bones on his body. And he had also fused with the skull Soul Bone that was the reward for the Soul Master Competition champion. If they could kill Long Chen, they could take the Soul Bones from him; any one of them would be a priceless treasure.
"Xiao San, Long Chen's Spirit Ability is very sinister, possessing a powerful devouring ability, and has already devoured many Soul Masters. Such an evil person deserves to be killed by everyone, and our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will certainly not sit idly by. Uncle Sword and I will accompany you to the forest center."
"With your words, I can rest easy."
"However, before going to the Star Dou Forest, I should take you to the palace first; Your Majesty also wants to see you."
"Okay, I will follow your arrangements."
