Chapter 212. Tang San's Showdown: My Father is Clear Sky Douluo.
Dai Mubai couldn't help but curl his lips at Tang San's words. In his previous life, before the Spirit Hall was destroyed, Tang San and Dugu Bo had a fairly good relationship, but Tang San later abandoned him.
The spirit bone detoxification method has a problem: the spirit bone has a limit to the amount of poison it can hold. Once that limit is reached, the spirit bone is destroyed, and the accumulated toxins are released, killing the person.
Dugu Bo realized this problem in his later years and sought a solution from the now-godlike Tang San. However, Tang San didn't share the solution with Dugu Bo, resulting in the subsequent deaths of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
This was done to logically transform the Yin-Yang Eyes from a Dugu family asset into a Tang Sect asset.
In other words, Tang San, while seemingly righteous, was actually a sinister person. Dai Mubai was extremely fortunate to have a good relationship with Tang San; otherwise, he would have never known when he was being plotted against.
On the other side, Tang San also fell into deep thought after hearing Dai Mubai and the others' proposal.
Now, he could confront his father. With his father's strength, going to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire would be no problem. But was it really a good idea to confront him so early?
"Third brother, is there any need to think about it? If we had continued to do things according to plan, this immortal product of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire would probably have been taken by someone else long ago." Ma Hongjun said anxiously: "Immortal product, immortal product, immortal product, ah, all this is for the immortal product."
Oscar also said anxiously: "Yes, yes, Xiao San, it's okay to recognize your father now."
Tang San said: "But, I don't even know where my father has gone."
Dai Mubai said: "Xiao San, we can only hope that your father is still by your side to protect you."
Ma Hongjun said: "By the way, Third Brother, you can go find the master, maybe the master knows where your father has gone."
That night, Tang San found the master and asked: "Teacher, do you know where my father has gone?"
The master said: "Why do you ask?"
Tang San said: "You know my father's true identity, Haotian Douluo, right, teacher."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with shocked eyes and said: "How did you know?"
"Teacher, how should I know? It's not important. What's important is that I want to see my father. I have something very important to tell him."
Yu Xiaogang was silent for a moment, then said regretfully, "Your father came to see me that year, but I haven't seen him since. I don't know where he is."
Tang San was immediately disappointed by Yu Xiaogang's response. Just as he was about to leave, a rough and domineering voice rang out from outside.
"Xiao San, what are you doing here?"
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he turned to look outside. A man in tattered clothes, carrying cheap beer, appeared outside .
It was Baba, Tang Hao!
Ever since the accident while Tang San was hunting for his third spirit ring, which left him with his current crooked mouth and squinting eyes, Tang Hao had been by his side.
Now, seeing Tang San go to find his master and reveal his identity, Tang Hao himself was shocked.
"Your Majesty Haotian," Yu Xiaogang said in shock.
"Baba," Tang San, tears streaming down his face, approached Tang Hao, who embraced him.
Tang San breathed in his father's body odor, which permeated the air.
Ah, the scent of fatherly love.
Father and son exchanged glances for a moment, then Tang Hao said to Yu Xiaogang, "Master, wait outside for a moment."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, excitedly exiting the door, closing it behind him.
"Son, how did you know my identity, Baba?"
Tang San unleashed the explanation he had prepared long ago. "Baba, my second spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, which reminds me of the Clear Sky Sect, the world's foremost sect. And you told me not to use it, which made me very puzzled. So I investigated, and it turns out Tang Hao was also the disciple who withdrew from the Clear Sky Sect a few years ago. This gave me some ideas about my identity."
Tang Hao nodded. While the story of leaving the Clear Sky Sect had faded in Douluo Continent's history, it was still known among the spirit master community. It wasn't surprising that Tang San had deduced his identity from this.
"I didn't want to tell you my identity too soon, hoping you could have a wonderful childhood, but... alas." At this, Tang Hao sighed.
"Father, all the humiliation and hatred of our family shouldn't be borne by you alone," Tang San said.
Tang Hao patted Tang San's shoulder and said, "Xiao San, I know you might know something, but for now, just pretend he knows nothing. Practice diligently at Shrek Academy. Think of it as a vacation. Until then, even if the sky falls, I'll carry it for you. It won't be a problem. Once you leave Shrek Academy, once you graduate, I'll make sure you understand and shoulder the responsibilities you deserve."
"I understand, Baba," Tang San said.
"Alright, tell me. What's your purpose in calling me out?" Tang Hao asked.
Tang San said, "I hope you can take me to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in Sunset Forest. I want to obtain some immortal treasures there. The immortal treasures there will have a profound impact on my talent, as well as the talents of the Shrek Academy students."
"Immortal treasures, Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire?" Tang Hao asked in confusion.
Tang San began to tell Tang Hao everything he knew about immortal treasures and the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Tang Hao was immediately shocked. He said, "Too many immortal treasures in this world can change talent! If only I could have obtained one of these treasures back then..."
Tang San saw his father's increasingly depressed look and knew that he was thinking of his mother.
Seeing his father so depressed, Tang San's hatred for the Spirit Hall surged up again.
Spirit Hall, Qianxunji—you are the culprit behind our family's tragedy. In your last life, you died at the hands of Bibi Dong. Even though I harbored a grudge against you, I couldn't do anything about you. But in this life, since you've replaced Bibi Dong and become the Pope, I, Tang San, will settle this score with you sooner or later.
Tang Hao didn't notice Tang San's changes, immersed in the sadness of losing Ah Yin.
"By the way, Xiao San, can the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire really make plants grow exponentially?" Tang Hao asked.
"Yes, father," Tang San said, "the growth time of plants in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire is one-tenth of that outside. In other words, a spiritual medicine that takes a hundred years to grow only takes ten years inside."
"One tenth." A glimmer of hope shone in Tang Hao's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.
Even if there was hope for Yin's resurrection, what good would it do? Damn, Yin had already been taken down by some unknown Gou Zha!
The last time Tang Hao had given Zhao Wuji instructions, he'd gone to investigate Yin's disappearance. He'd thought he'd felt more at ease after handing the matter over to Shrek, but this time, he'd found his precious son, Tang San, beaten to a pulp, his mouth and eyes crooked.
Fearing something might happen to his beloved son, Tang Hao hesitated and stopped looking for Yin's life seed.
Now, he saw a hope for Yin's quick resurrection, but Yin's life seed was gone. Resurrection, by the way!
All his excitement boiled down to a point: his excitement was in vain.
"However, such a precious land, capable of producing immortal artifacts that can modify talent, is so precious that Dugu Bo has taken too much of it. It rightfully belongs to our Haotian Sect. Son, be a tyrant! I'll take you to retrieve the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire," Tang Hao said.
Tang San couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard his father's words. "Giving the Yin-Yang Eye back to the Haotian Sect?" He was overthinking it. He was dreaming. The Yin-Yang Eye was the foundation of his Tang Sect. How could he give it to the Haotian Sect? Tang
San didn't object, though. On the one hand, he knew his father's emphasis on the sect. On the other, the Tang Sect wasn't established yet; they could wait until it was.
Tang Hao led Tang San outside and said to Yu Xiaogang, "Master, tell Flanders and the others I'm taking my son out for a while. I'm asking for leave."
"Okay, Your Majesty," Yu Xiaogang said.
With that, Tang Hao took Tang San's hand and left.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San's broad, powerful figure and couldn't help but feel a surge of longing.
If only he had Tang Hao's strength, then he wouldn't have been humiliated and labeled a waste of the sect. He wouldn't have been separated from his two previous marriages by the thief Qian Xunji, who also abducted his fiancée, Liu Erlong, at their wedding, accusing him of being a cuckold.
However, seeing Tang San's talent, Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of satisfaction. As long as he could train Tang San to become a leader of this era, he wouldn't have to worry about his name becoming known to the world.
The next day, during Shrek Academy's routine stone-carrying running training, Xiao Wu asked, "Teacher, where's San Giegie? Why isn't he here?"
Flanders explained, "Tang San has taken some time off. You still have to attend classes during this time."
Ye Yang looked puzzled at Flanders' words, because in the original novels he'd read, there was no mention of Tang San taking time off.
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar glanced at each other when they heard the word "take leave," and joy flashed in their eyes.
Dai Mubai: I'm about to get my Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Hahahaha, the thirty-year period has arrived, and I, the God of War Dai Mubai, am here to participate.
Ma Hongjun: Oh, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is finally here! My evil fire is finally coming out. Unfortunately, my broken egg injury can only be repaired after I become a god. Hey, Sister Bai Chenxiang, wait for me.
Oscar: The Eight-petaled Immortal Orchid is finally here. Tang San will definitely not give this gullible immortal item to Ye Yang. The gap between Ye Yang and me will widen. By then, only Oscar will be able to win Ning Rongrong's heart. Ye Yang, you're just a third party.
The Shrek Three have their own ideas. Flanders coughed twice and said, "Alright, stand at attention, look right, look forward, run—"
Shrek began another day of running training.
On the way from Soto City to Tiandou City, Tang San heard his father talking about the Tiandou Empire, and a serious thought suddenly occurred to him.
"Baba, I want to ask you a question. How many princes does the Heaven Dou Empire currently have?"
Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this and said, "Why are you asking this question? What does the number of princes in the Heaven Dou Empire have to do with us?"
Related? A lot.
With his past life's experience, Tang San was of course aware that Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire had been replaced by Qian Renxue. He wasn't afraid of Qian Renxue replacing Xue Qinghe and lurking within the Heaven Dou Palace, plotting schemes and maneuvers. Qian Renxue's every attempt at concealment was transparent to Tang San. Instead, Tang San could use Qian Renxue to expose the Spirit Hall's ambitions to the various factions on Douluo Continent, thereby uniting them.
But what he feared most was that Qian Renxue would cease lurking due to the Spirit Hall Pope's change of heart. That would be a serious problem.
In his previous life, Tang San saw Qian Renxue's lurking as a pure waste of her potential. If she hadn't, Tang San would have faced the Angel God who had once cornered him years, even decades, earlier. In that situation, Tang San had no hope of success.
Initially, Tang San didn't understand why Qian Renxue wasted so much of her training time lurking. Later, he discovered it was due to a conflict between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Bibi Dong didn't want Qian Renxue to achieve Angel Godhood too early, while Qian Renxue, desperate to prove her strength to her mother, accepted the mission and wasted a significant portion of her life in the Heaven Dou Empire.
As the saying goes, while the enemy wastes time, one can better develop.
But with the Spirit Hall's Pope replaced by Qian Xunji, why would Qian Xunji waste his daughter's talent on this?
With Qian Renxue's terrifying innate talent at level 20, she could definitely achieve Angel Godhood years, even decades earlier. The thought of this made Tang San shudder.
"Ba Ba, just tell me the truth. How many princes are there in Tian Dou? This matter is of great importance," Tang San asked.
"Two," Tang Hao replied. "One is Xue Qinghe, and the other is Prince Xue Beng."
"Is Prince Xue Beng a dandy prince who enjoys hawking and running around, and lingers in the brothels?" Tang San asked.
"Your assessment is quite apt," Tang Hao said.
"Then is Xue Qinghe highly regarded by the Tian Dou Emperor, and the prince most likely to compete for the future emperor?" Tang San continued.
Tang Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, the future Tian Dou Emperor is most likely Xue Qinghe."
"Then the other two sons of Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Luochuan and Xue Haizang, both died in tragic circumstances, but the real culprit who poisoned them has never been found, right?"
Tang Hao smiled. "It seems you're quite interested in the secrets of the Tian Dou Empire, but what's the point?"
Tang San's mouth twitched rapidly, almost reaching his ears, forming a tick symbol.
The calm confidence, the self-confidence that everything is under control, reappeared in Tang San.
"Baba, that really means a lot."
