Chapter 191: Tang Hao Appears

Hearing that such a major incident had occurred during the Preliminary Tournament, especially with Tang San being the person involved, how could Tang Hao dare to be careless? He returned to Tiandou City at the first possible moment.

Today, Shrek's opponent was Canghui Academy; since the opponent was penalized, they could rest for the entire day.

That evening, Shrek Academy welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Xiao San, come out." A familiar voice rang out in Tang San's mind.

Tang San widened his eyes, stunned where he stood.

He could not be more familiar with this voice; it was none other than his father, Tang Hao!

After many years of separation, he had finally seen his father again.

Without further thought, Tang San gave a word to Oscar and hurried out of the dormitory.

In the pavilion in front of the dormitory building, that familiar figure stood with his back turned. Tang San could no longer hide the excitement in his heart; he quickened his pace and rushed behind the other person.

"Dad, why did you leave back then? Senior Titan said you are a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. What exactly is going on?"

Tang San poured out all the longing and confusion he had been holding in his heart.

Tang Hao let out a long sigh, turned around, and placed his right hand on his shoulder. "Xiao San, you don't need to know these things for now."

"When your strength is sufficient, I will tell you myself."

He paused, his expression becoming serious. "I heard that you encountered an attack by Shi Nian. What exactly is going on?"

Tang San was not clear about the details of the incident; he knew more from the organizing committee's investigation report afterward.

As for that moment, Tang San had not noticed anything unusual until the scene before his eyes suddenly switched to the world of the Bashu Tang Sect.

Why Dugu Bo would step in to save Tang San, Tang Hao was also unclear.

After all, before this, they had even fought each other.

"This is indeed consistent with Shi Nian's methods. As for Dugu Bo, he has no reason to make a move against a junior like you."

Both sides held leverage over each other; Tang Hao did not feel the other would cross the line.

Perhaps Dugu Bo was worried about his retaliation, which is why he stepped in to save Tang San.

After thinking for such a long time, Tang San did have some guesses. "Dad, is it possible that Shi Nian had something on him that Dugu Bo needed, and he used this opportunity to kill Shi Nian?"

Tang Hao did not deny it. "That is possible, but it also sounds an alarm for us."

He asked anxiously: "Xiao San, have you exposed your Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in front of outsiders?"

In the past, the Clear Sky Sect offended many people, and now that the sect has closed itself off from the world, there must be enemies waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

If Tang San were exposed, it would inevitably attract the attention of these enemies, subsequently leading them to send a killer like Shi Nian.

Tang San shook his head.

Over these years, he had always remembered the teachings of his father and his teacher; he had only accidentally exposed it when Titan came knocking.

At that time, the situation on the scene was complex, and Titan's earthy-yellow soul power had blocked the view of outsiders.

Coupled with his conversation with Titan afterward, he was very certain that no outsiders knew.

Speaking of Titan, a flash of nostalgia crossed Tang Hao's face. "I have indeed not seen Titan for many years, but I can be certain that he is trustworthy."

Bringing up the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, Tang San hurriedly asked: "Dad, I want to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul."

Tang Hao felt slightly surprised. "Xiao San, I remember Master saying that you are an obedient, good child. Why would you have such an idea?"

Upon hearing about the strength of the Seven Treasure team, Tang Hao's brows knitted together.

"A Soul King of your age—that kid is truly a genius, but how did he manage it?"

Even Tang Hao, who was hailed as the youngest Title Douluo on the continent, only broke through to Soul King at the age of eighteen.

Wu Qi was four years earlier than him; he truly had no predecessor and would have no successor.

And it was the Seven Treasure team; it was not hard to guess that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was behind the other party.

In the past, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was just a sect trampled under the feet of the Clear Sky Sect, but now that such a genius has appeared, wouldn't they ride on top of the Clear Sky Sect in the future?

Of course, Tang Hao was not overly nervous.

With Tang San's Twin Martial Souls talent, his future achievements would certainly be above his.

But the future is the future after all; the current Tang San had absolutely no room to resist against a Soul King-level Wu Qi.

Tang Hao did not rush to respond, but said in a deep voice: "For the championship prize of this tournament, the Spirit Hall has brought out three soul bones, one of which is a head soul bone as high as fifty thousand years old."

If there is an opportunity, the soul bone must absolutely not be missed.

If the Shrek Team can win the championship, they can not only slap the Spirit Hall in the face hard but also use the Spirit Hall's reward to turn around and fight against the Spirit Hall.

And for a tournament that the entire continent is paying attention to, he was certain the Spirit Hall would not dare to go back on their word.

Tang San's breathing became rapid.

Yu Xiaogang had often educated him on the importance of soul bones; to this day, he had never obtained a soul bone and was full of anticipation for it.

"Dad, then I should cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul even more. Teacher said that the Clear Sky Hammer is the number one tool martial soul on the continent, and with my current strength, the first soul ring of the Clear Sky Hammer will inevitably be over five thousand years."

"Possessing all purple soul rings, or even higher-year soul rings, the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul will have no problem dealing with Wu Qi."

It was true that Tang Hao was proud of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, but he was not arrogant.

He knew deeply that the power of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul lay in the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, in the Haotian Nine Absolutes, and even more in the Great Sumeru Hammer mysteries.

As for the current Tang San, he had only learned the basics of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique; could cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul really defeat such a monster as Wu Qi?

If he failed to win the championship, wouldn't the first few soul rings of the Clear Sky Hammer be wasted?

One must know that after breaking through to Title Douluo, all of the Clear Sky Hammer's soul rings could start at fifty thousand years, which was far more powerful than starting at five thousand years.

"So, do you still decide to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer?" Tang Hao asked in return.

Tang San hesitated for a moment, then said with a firm gaze: "Dad, I am willing to try, so as not to leave any regrets for this tournament!"

Tang Hao continued: "At your age, you still have a chance to participate in the next tournament. Now that you have exposed the Clear Sky Hammer, you definitely won't be able to participate in the next one. Even so, are you willing to try?"

The confusion in Tang San's heart deepened.

Why would he be unable to compete if he exposed the Clear Sky Hammer?

He vaguely guessed that some major event must have occurred between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, to the extent that both sides were in a state of severe hostility.

But there was only one chance; if they missed this tournament, who could guarantee that the next tournament would have such generous rewards?

Tang Hao interrupted, "I will discuss the cultivation of Twin Martial Souls with your teacher properly. You go back and rest first; finish the Preliminary Tournament before we talk about anything else."

Tang San nodded.

……

Study.

Yu Xiaogang was pondering the Multi-person Integrated Soul Fusion Skill, and when he turned around, he suddenly noticed that there was one more person in the room.

He was nervous at first, but then his brows relaxed, and his smile was undisguised, "Your Excellency Clear Sky, you have come."

Tang Hao nodded.

From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Yu Xiaogang, but since he could not accompany Tang San as he grew, he had no choice but to entrust him to an outsider.

Yu Xiaogang just happened to appear at that time, and he was also the son of Yu Yuanzhen.

Tang Hao had no other choice but to let Yu Xiaogang step in to ensure Tang San's daily survival.
