"Where have you been these past two years? We've been searching for your news everywhere, but it's like a stone sinking into the sea."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yu Xiaogang asked the question he was most concerned about: where his disciple had disappeared to for two years.
Tang San pushed Yu Xiaogang to a stone bench and sat down himself, then slowly said:
"I went to a place called Slaughter City."
"Slaughter City!"
Tang San thought he would have to explain it, but he didn't expect his Teacher to know about it.
"Teacher knows about Slaughter City?"
Yu Xiaogang let out a breath, the surprise in his eyes lingering.
"Hoo, how could I not know? Your father once went there too."
"Father? Really?"
Now it was Tang San's turn to exclaim and stand up. This was the first time in nearly ten years that he had heard of his father's specific whereabouts.
Yu Xiaogang understood what his disciple was thinking and shook his head:
"Your father should have gone to Slaughter City before you were born. I've also been looking for Clear Sky Crown these past two years, but unfortunately, I haven't found any news either."
Hearing this, Tang San slumped back onto the stone bench like a deflated ball.
"I see, where did Father go?"
"You don't need to worry. If it doesn't work out, go to the Clear Sky Sect after your strength improves. The people there might know Clear Sky Crown's news."
"Clear Sky Sect ..."
Tang San's eyes were filled with complexity. He didn't know what to do with this Sect that had expelled him and his father, but if he wanted to get news of Tang Hao, he probably couldn't avoid this trip.
Seeing his disciple's expression, Yu Xiaogang quickly changed the subject. It seemed that with the return of his disciple, his emotional intelligence had also quietly returned.
"Slaughter City must be very dangerous. I heard it's a place where Fallen and Evil Soul Masters from all over the continent gather."
"Yes, it's full of slaughter every day, and everyone needs to be careful."
"Then how did you get out of there?"
Yu Xiaogang had only heard of Slaughter City and didn't know the rules there.
"Teacher doesn't know, Slaughter City has a Hell Slaughter Arena. As long as you can win a hundred matches in the Arena, you can leave there through the Hell Road and see the light of day again."
Although Tang San didn't mention the dangers of the Arena and the Hell Road, Yu Xiaogang understood that it must have been countless life-and-death struggles. He looked at his disciple's face, which had lost its childishness, with pride and said:
"You are excellent. Even when faced with such extreme situations, you can adapt and find a way out. I am proud of you."
"Teacher is too kind."
Tang San modestly waved his hand, not feeling happy about Yu Xiaogang's praise. He turned to the matter of the God of Slaughter Domain, wanting to hear if this scholar had any unique insights.
"Teacher, people who come out of Slaughter City seem to gain a domain-type Skill, but this domain seems very difficult to control."
"Oh? Release it and let me see!"
Yu Xiaogang did not hesitate in the slightest. After listening to his disciple's introduction, he immediately asked him to release it for him to observe.
"This..."
Tang San was somewhat hesitant, mainly because his control over the domain was very limited at the moment, and Yu Xiaogang...
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Teacher, after this God of Slaughter Domain is activated, it will affect one's mind. I can't fully control it yet. I'm worried..."
Tang San didn't finish his words, but Yu Xiaogang understood what his disciple was thinking and didn't care about it.
"That's simple. I'll call Flander and Er Long in. You just release it."
As he spoke, he called out to the two outside the small courtyard.
Liu Erlong and the other came to the master and disciple with puzzled expressions, they thought that the master and disciple who had been separated for a long time would chat for a long time.
"Xiao Gang?"
Grandmaster ignored the two and turned to Tang San and said:
"Start, I don't think it will cause much damage to two high-level Soul Sages."
"Yes, Teacher."
Tang San no longer hesitated and came to the center of the small courtyard in the puzzled eyes of Flander and the other.
"God of Slaughter Domain, activate."
As the domain unfolded, all the flowers and plants in the courtyard moved without wind, and a layer of thin ice quietly covered the entire ground. Flander and Liu Erlong only felt that the familiar Tang San in front of them had turned into a flood beast, and a barbaric aura rushed towards them.
The two subconsciously released their Spirits and stood in front of Yu Xiaogang, staring vigilantly at Tang San in the field.
"Tea... Teacher... This is... God of Slaughter Domain."
After a sentence, Tang San hurriedly closed the domain before his consciousness disappeared. He sat on the ground behind him as if soaked in water and gasped frantically.
"Teacher, I can only control it for so long. If I continue, I will lose consciousness and become a killing machine until I run out of strength."
"Phew, what a terrifying domain, I actually felt my strength suppressed by nearly one-fifth."
Everything calmed down, Flander wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao Gang, what's going on?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand to interrupt him and fell into deep thought under the gaze of the three.
After a while, Yu Xiaogang raised his head and looked at his disciple again.
"Xiao San, after this domain is activated, it should stimulate all the killing intent accumulated in your body, thereby deterring the enemy."
"This should also be the reason why Flander just said that his strength was suppressed."
The three nodded, not surprised that Yu Xiaogang could see this, after all, the other party was an expert in Spirit and Soul Skill research, at least in their opinion.
"This domain is very strong, allowing you to exert 120% of your strength in a short period of time, but the disadvantage is that you will be controlled by killing intent."
"That's right, Teacher, how should I control the killing intent next?"
"Yes, this is indeed something you must master next, otherwise, although this domain is strong, it will only be harmful to you."
Having said that, Yu Xiaogang once again fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering how to allow Tang San to control the domain.
The three people beside him didn't dare to interrupt, for fear of breaking his train of thought, and the scene fell silent again for a time.
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang looked up at Liu Erlong beside him.
"Er Long, during the time I left you, how did you appease yourself?"
Liu Erlong was slightly stunned, and then looked at Grandmaster with a strange expression, as if asking, Do you still have the face to mention this? But there were still two big eyes staring beside her, and she was too embarrassed to directly refute him.
"At that time, I was very sad. After being decadent for a while, I could only bury myself in the small courtyard to plant flowers, learn to play the piano, and sing songs to relieve the depression in my heart. What does this have to do with Tang San mastering the domain?"
Tang San was also speechless. What does his control of the God of Slaughter Domain have to do with Teacher Er Long, this resentful woman in her boudoir?
"In the end, these are all methods of controlling emotions. Whether it is depression or loss, or even endless killing intent, these are all emotional problems in the final analysis."
"Then controlling the fluctuations of emotions should allow one to control the Slaughter Domain."
Hearing this, Liu Erlong and Flander suddenly understood, thinking that he was worthy of being Grandmaster, and he saw the mystery so quickly.
