Chapter 206: Yuexuan

One year of closed-door cultivation.

Tang Hao naturally investigated the news regarding Shi Quan at the first opportunity, learning that after the tournament ended, Shi Quan had taken Dugu Yan and the others to travel to some unknown location; there had been no news of them for a year, and the group seemed to have vanished.

Even Dugu Bo had rarely sent any news during this year, and no one knew his specific whereabouts.

Hearing that Yu Xiaogang had been crippled, that Dai Mubai and the others were nowhere to be found, and that Flender and the others had all been captured by people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Tang San felt only fury—a heart full of fury—and the killing intent he inadvertently leaked was sensed even by Tang Hao. Tang Hao could not help but frown and coldly warned, "Mind your restraint."

Seeing this, Tang Hao thought to himself: "It seems the decision to let Yuehua teach San for a period of time was correct. With such a temperament, how could he pass through the Road to Hell?"

Hearing this, Tang San finally regained his senses, gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and followed Tang Hao's pace.

After the father and son, Tang Hao and Tang San, walked for another day, they arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang San's soul power had already broken through to level fifty; he prepared to help Tang San obtain his Fifth Soul Ring first before taking him to Heaven Dou City. If they encountered any accidents in Heaven Dou City, having more strength would provide a safeguard.

The Blue Silver King had gone missing; he had secretly investigated once or twice during this year, but since he still could not find any clues, he naturally could not keep dragging it out. Since he could not undergo the second awakening in advance, he would obtain the soul ring as normal.

After asking for Tang San's opinion, Tang San still chose a beast-type Spirit Beast for his Fifth Soul Ring.

With Tang Hao's strength, he was naturally unimpeded in the Star Dou Great Forest. It only took him two days to help Tang San hunt a suitable Spirit Beast, which was a 20,000-year-old Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

"Yes." Tang San immediately retracted the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances, nodded, and walked over quickly to reach out his hand.

A few days later, late at night, at Yuexuan in Heaven Dou City.

Before long, seeing the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider on the ground shrivel up, Tang San pulled out the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances without hesitation.

Tang Hao stood by to observe, only to see a stream of ink-green light rapidly flow along the tips of the lances into the interior of the Eight Spider Lances, and the red light on the surface surged accordingly. Before long, the originally somewhat turbid blood-red began to become pure, even appearing somewhat crystal clear, like a ruby.

Evolved? Tang Hao's gaze showed surprise.

After confirming there were no problems, Tang Hao then felt at ease taking Tang San away.

Tang Yuehua's figure trembled suddenly; looking at the figure before her, mist immediately welled up in her eyes. "Hao, is it really you?"

Tang Hao frowned, but still nodded.

Tang Yuehua's lips trembled, and she threw herself into Tang Hao's arms, bursting into loud sobs.

"My External Spirit Bone comes from the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, and they are of the same origin. If I can absorb the energy within its body, the strength of the spirit bone and my Devour ability might both be able to advance further."

Looking at the beautiful woman, Tang Hao sighed softly, "It is me, Yuehua. You couldn't recognize me, could you?"

Tang San was also surprised; he could clearly feel that the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances' augmentation to his body had strengthened a bit more, and he could not help but feel happy inside.

After waiting for a few hours, Tang San finished absorbing it, and his strength also improved to level fifty-two.

Tang Hao took the opportunity to raise his hand to pinch it, injecting soul power to probe, and was immediately surprised; he actually could not feel any impurities. Was it that fewer impurities were produced, or was it because the spirit bone evolved, or perhaps because the Eight Spider Lances came from the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, sharing the same root and origin?

"Dad, can I absorb the energy of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider?" Tang San looked at the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider with burning eyes and said.

Tang Yuehua sat upright on the windowsill of the top floor, gazing at the Full Moon in the sky, lost in thought for a moment. The next second, two figures fell from the high sky, passed over the eaves, and landed directly on the windowsill, coming into view. "Yuehua, are you well?" A familiar voice also entered her ears at this moment.

Then he heard Tang Hao's voice come over, "Come over and reach out your hand."

"Thank you, Dad." Tang San's face showed joy; he immediately extended the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances and stabbed them into the corpse.

Tang Hao had originally prepared to take Tang San away, but Tang San could not move his feet after looking at the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

Besides increasing physical strength and power, a beast-type soul ring could also, to a certain extent, improve the sustained combat capability of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, so that the trip to Slaughter City later would be safer.

Tang San was also somewhat stunned, because he actually saw his father gently patting the beautiful woman's back, a gentle expression appearing on his face. It was hard to imagine that such an expression would appear on his father's face.

"Why haven't you called her Aunt yet?" Tang Hao turned his head to look at Tang San.

Tang San was startled; Tang Hao had only said he was taking him back to Heaven Dou City, but had never told him that this time was to see an aunt, nor had he ever said he had an aunt. However, suddenly knowing that another one of his relatives was standing right before him, he could not help but feel moved, and immediately bowed slightly.

"Nephew greets Aunt."

Tang Yuehua straightened up, turned to Tang San with teary eyes, raised her hand, and reached out to touch Tang San's face. "Are you San? Good, good, good."

"Yuehua, I came here this time to ask for your help," Tang Hao said in a somewhat dull tone.

"No rush, sit down and talk." Tang Yuehua took Tang San's hand and walked toward the sofa in the room.

Tang Hao could only helplessly follow.

"Brother, I have already heard about you and San. I believe it must have been the Spirit Hall deliberately targeting and framing you." Tang Yuehua sat down, her expression still somewhat helpless as she said, "It's just that the current situation outside is very unfavorable to you, and the sect cannot help you either..."

"I understand." Tang Hao's expression dimmed. "It was all my carelessness."

"Dad, don't say that; if anyone is to blame, blame me," Tang San said hurriedly. "And this was a conspiracy between the Spirit Hall and that Xue Qinghe to deliberately frame us."

"The Crown Prince?" Tang Yuehua frowned as she looked at Tang San. "San, why do you say that?"

Tang San then stated his deductions. Of course, besides Xue Qinghe, he also suspected Shi Quan and Dugu Bo even more. After hearing about Yu Xiaogang's situation, he also realized that there must have been something wrong with the Immortal Herb back then, but he just hadn't noticed it.

Therefore, he made a deduction similar to Yu Xiaogang's. He did not think there was any problem with Yu Xiaogang's training; after all, he was the best example, and his training intensity was no weaker than that of Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, or anyone else.

"There are actually so many things involved in this?" Tang Yuehua could not help but sigh.

"It is useless to talk about these things now." Tang Hao shook his head and brought the topic back to the purpose of this trip. "Yuehua, I came this time mainly to ask you to help me teach San for a period of time and help him polish his temperament."

"Polish his temperament?" Tang Yuehua frowned slightly. "Brother, San is so young; which place are you planning to send him to?"

Tang Hao nodded slightly and said, "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. I have my reasons for arranging it this way."

After finishing, Tang Hao stood up straight. "Alright, San is handed over to you. Once his temperament is polished appropriately, you can let him go to that place."

With a flick of his hand, he threw a scroll of a map beside Tang Yuehua and turned to leave.

"Brother." Tang Yuehua's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly stood up. However, Tang Hao had already escaped into the night with a few leaps.

"Aunt, Dad, he..." Tang San glanced at the map that had fallen onto the sofa, his heart full of confusion.

"Your father is still the same as he was back then..." Tang Yuehua stared blankly in the direction Tang Hao had left for a long time before she came to her senses. After opening the map in front of her and looking at it, her expression also became grave. "San, the place your father wants you to go is extremely dangerous. Your father only walked out of there when he was twenty-eight years old. And for him to let you try at such a young age, he must have confidence in you, but before that, you must first meet my requirements."

Tang San nodded earnestly. "Aunt, rest assured, I will definitely achieve all of your requirements."

"Do you know what you are going to learn from me?" Tang Yuehua asked with a faint smile as she looked at Tang San.

Tang San shook his head blankly.

After taking a long breath, Tang Yuehua said, "A true powerhouse must first know how to learn to control everything about themselves. Especially their emotions... What I am teaching you is how to control everything about yourself!"

Tang San's eyes lit up. "Aunt, what should I do?"

Tang Yuehua watched Tang San with burning eyes. "Starting from tomorrow, you will follow by my side to learn various aristocratic etiquette and music."

Hearing this, Tang San was instantly dumbfounded, "Aunt, you aren't joking, are you?"

"What do you think?" Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San with a serious expression.

Tang San stared blankly at his own aunt; he could not understand at all what these etiquette and music lessons had to do with controlling his emotions and everything else.

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San's dazed appearance with some amusement and comforted him, "Very soon, you will understand the benefits these things have for you..."

Dragon Valley World, Dragon Tomb.

The originally desolate Dragon Tomb was now covered in lush green vegetation, and those once-enormous burial mounds looked like giant hills; who could have imagined that this was still the same Dragon Tomb that was once filled with a sorrowful atmosphere.

Scattered across the lawn were dragon eggs of various shapes and sizes; these dragon eggs were all reborn dragon souls, with Shi Quan's Samsara Power as the guide and the Dragon God Power as the foundation.

Although it was unknown how much longer these dragon eggs would need to hatch, the appearance of these eggs gave the nearly extinct dragon race a future and a possibility of continuation.

"Mm..."

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the three goddesses lazily rolled over on the green lawn before they gradually woke up one after another in a daze.

"What is this thing?" Dugu Yan also felt something hard beneath her buttocks, which caused her to wake up.

After feeling around beneath her, Dugu Yan discovered it was a crystal ball with a golden surface; the crystal ball was not large, only about half the size of a palm, and only by observing it closely could one discover that nine-colored light halos were flowing within the center of the crystal ball.

Hearing Dugu Yan's movements, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling also woke up one after another.

The two women looked at the golden crystal ball in Dugu Yan's hand, and they were both surprised to discover that there was a similar crystal ball beside each of them as well.
