Chapter 255: Tang Yin
Because he was still unable to perfectly control the killing intent within his body, a cold, murderous aura would invisibly radiate from him; if he were to enter a city in his current state, he would inevitably attract the attention of many.
He had not forgotten that he still carried the title of a Fallen Spirit Master.
Therefore, he did not enter any cities along the way, heading straight toward Heaven Dou City.
If he had the help of his aunt, Tang Yuehua, he believed he could control the killing intent within his body in less than a month.
Traveling rapidly, in just six short days, Tang San appeared outside Heaven Dou City.
Although six days had passed, Tang San still had not recovered from the atmosphere of Slaughter City; after carefully disguising himself to look as he had when he studied at Yuexuan years ago, Tang San then mixed into the crowd during a busy time and entered Heaven Dou City.
After entering Heaven Dou City, he remained extremely cautious, taking a detour along the way before finally arriving outside Yuexuan.
In order not to be too conspicuous, Tang San specifically changed into luxurious clothing.
Tang San knew the rule that Yuexuan, as a place of elegance, did not receive those who were sloppily dressed.
Relying on his attire, Tang San easily entered the first floor of Yuexuan.
"Wrong." Tang San frowned; although the change in the young girl's eyes was extremely subtle, Tang San had still noticed it.
He now held a habit of being suspicious of everything; seeing the young girl head toward the stairs to go up, Tang San took a step forward and grabbed her, "What are you planning to do?"
"Tang Yin, you say Xiao Lan has a problem, but what evidence do you have?" General Manager Aode looked at Tang San, and upon feeling the coldness radiating from Tang San's body, he frowned even more tightly.
The young girl was stunned for a moment, and sensing the cold aura on Tang San, she furrowed her delicate brows, "You are..."
"Ah!" When had the young girl ever seen such a scene? After letting out a scream, she collapsed onto the floor, her eyes filled with terror, her body trembling incessantly on the ground, "I... I was preparing to notify the Madam."
General Manager Aode frowned slightly and looked at the young girl, asking, "What is going on with Xiao Lan?"
Tang San stepped forward slowly, trying his best to make his expression gentle, and walked to the desk, saying to a tall young girl at the head, "Please, tell Dean Tang that an old acquaintance has come to visit."
Tang San raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man in purple, "General Manager Aode."
"Tang Yin?" The young girl seemed to think of something, her eyes moved slightly, and she nodded, saying, "Please wait a moment."
"Tang Yin, what are you doing? Have you forgotten the teachings the Madam gave you?" General Manager Aode shouted angrily.
Tang San's gaze swept coldly over Xiao Lan, "Her eyes are not right."
The young girl named Xiao Lan, trembling as she clutched her hand which had already turned purple, hurriedly retreated and said, "General Manager Aode, just now Tang Yin came to the desk and said he wanted to find the Madam. After I asked for his identity, I was just about to go notify the Madam, who knew how, but he suddenly attacked me."
Tang San suppressed the killing intent in his eyes, let go of her hand, and said coldly, "She has a problem."
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Tang San's scarlet eyes.
When the middle-aged man in purple's gaze fell upon Tang San, his brow immediately furrowed, and he said with some uncertainty, "Tang Yin?"
General Manager Aode looked at the others, "Is that so?"
A flash of anger immediately appeared on General Manager Aode's face, "Eyes? Just because of a change in her eyes, you attacked her? Tang Yin! It seems you have completely forgotten the teachings the Madam gave you!"
"What is going on?" Hearing the commotion downstairs, a middle-aged man wearing a purple long robe walked down from upstairs.
"Yes, General Manager, Xiao Lan's reception had no issues." The other young girls also answered in unison.
Tang San clenched his fists; if it were anyone else who had scolded him like this, he feared he would have already attacked. If it weren't for the fact that Yuexuan was his aunt's place and he did not want to stain this place with blood, he would have suppressed his killing intent and said coldly, "I am here to see my aunt, not to listen to your lectures!"
Tang San closed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly, "Just tell Dean Tang that Tang Yin is visiting."
Seeing this, General Manager Aode shook his head even more, and said to Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, you go rest first."
Then he looked at Tang San and said coldly, "Follow me!"
Tang San followed slowly.
The two soon arrived at the third floor.
"You wait here." General Manager Aode glanced at Tang San and continued walking upstairs.
A moment later, Tang Yuehua walked down with General Manager Aode; when she saw Tang San, Tang Yuehua's eyes immediately turned a bit red, "You've returned."
Tang San looked at his relative, and the killing intent in his heart could not help but melt away a little; he walked in front of Tang Yuehua and called out softly, "Aunt."
"Follow me." Tang Yuehua held Tang San's hand tightly and led Tang San toward the top floor.
Returning to a familiar environment, the tight string in Tang San's heart finally relaxed a bit, "Aunt, do you know where Dad has gone?"
Tang Yuehua's figure trembled slightly, her eyes a bit red as she stepped forward to hug Tang San and said, "Perhaps he was delayed by something. It is good that you have come out; you don't know, in the two years you were in Slaughter City, your aunt was so worried."
Tang San keenly sensed that his aunt seemed to be hiding something from him, and asked tentatively, "Aunt, have there been any major events in the continent these past two years?"
"What major events could there be?" Tang Yuehua shook her head, looked at Tang San and said, "San, you have just come out of Slaughter City, and your killing intent cannot yet be perfectly controlled. During this time, stay by my side first and do not go out and walk around at will, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. With your previous foundation, within two months, you should be able to internalize it. You have stayed in a place like Slaughter City for so long, you should also have a good rest for a while."
Tang San nodded and said, "By the way, Aunt, I suspect that Xiao Lan, who is responsible for reception in the first-floor lobby, has a problem."
"What is wrong with her? General Manager Aode just told me about this matter too."
"I cannot say for sure what the specific problem is, it is just that when I mentioned the name Tang Yin, the way Xiao Lan looked at me was not normal."
Tang Yuehua comforted him, "It might be because you have just come out of Slaughter City and are too sensitive. Don't worry. Xiao Lan has been an old hand at Yuexuan for several years; perhaps it is because she had heard your name before?"
"Perhaps."
Tang San nodded; if it were before, he might have thought it was his own illusion, but now he was certain that his aunt was definitely hiding something from him.
Crown Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, the spy at Yuexuan has sent word that Tang Yin has returned to Yuexuan."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe slowly raised his eyes and looked at the reporting spy, "Was anything unusual discovered?"
"That Tang Yin has a faint killing intent radiating from his body; my subordinates and I did not dare to approach rashly. After he entered Yuexuan, he gave a maid a hard time in the lobby, and then went up to the top floor of Yuexuan."
"Killing intent?" Xue Qinghe nodded, "I know, you may go."
Previously, Xue Qinghe had suspected that Tang Yin was Tang San, but Tang San entering Yuexuan with such fanfare, not to mention causing these incidents, and having killing intent permeating his body, actually made Xue Qinghe somewhat suspicious.
Tang San was undoubtedly smart; this action did not match his understanding of Tang San.
"Find an opportunity to test him."
At the same time.
Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
"Begin," came Gu Yuena's cold, clear voice.
Standing to the side, Shi Quan nodded, his figure splitting into three.
The Zhuang Zhou avatar, the Houtu avatar, and the Shi Quan main body appeared simultaneously.
Before the four of them lay a massive Iron-Armored Wild Boar.
The Shi Quan main body moved first; the seven Soul Rings beneath his feet rose slowly, and a soft, jade-gold light unfolded from Shi Quan's hands, slowly enveloping the Iron-Armored Wild Boar.
The Iron-Armored Wild Boar's body trembled once, then it lay prostrate there.
With Gu Yuena by his side, this Iron-Armored Wild Boar dared not resist at all, cooperating obediently.
"Life Origin control successful!"
Shi Quan, Zhuang Zhou, and Houtu, a trinity with interconnected thoughts, saw a phantom image emerge behind Zhuang Zhou, and seven identical Soul Rings appeared; a soft, brilliant silver light emerged from behind the Zhuang Zhou avatar, and a powerful Mental Power transformed into a silver beam that shot into the forehead of the Iron-Armored Wild Boar.
Zhuang Zhou said slowly: "Soul Soul imprint and Spirit Origin confirmed."
Zhuang Zhou and Shi Quan exchanged a glance and moved at the same time; Zhuang Zhou was responsible for guiding the Iron-Armored Wild Boar to control its own Mental Power, while Shi Quan controlled the Life Origin within the Iron-Armored Wild Boar to fuse toward the Spirit Origin and Soul Soul imprint.
Houtu also made a move at this time, the stability of Earth becoming an additive for the two to condense.
Gu Yuena, standing to the side, watched Shi Quan's movements intently.
After a full quarter of an hour, the jade-gold light and brilliant silver light on the Iron-Armored Wild Boar's body grew intense, and the two began to interweave.
At the same time, the interweaving light began to surge forward from the tail of the Iron-Armored Wild Boar; wherever the light passed, its body became withered and dim, while the light moving forward grew increasingly bright.
Finally, the interweaving light condensed completely at the head of the Iron-Armored Wild Boar, the golden light so intense that the appearance of the Iron-Armored Wild Boar could no longer be seen.
The auras on Shi Quan, Zhuang Zhou, and Houtu erupted suddenly, and the Seventh Soul Ring on all three of them flashed brightly.
The Blue Silver Emperor Tree in Shi Quan's hand suddenly enlarged, its powerful life aura causing all the plants in the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to prostrate themselves.
The phantom image behind Zhuang Zhou also shone with great light, instantly devouring Zhuang Zhou's entire person and transforming into the Reincarnation Spirit.
Black and white interweaving light shot into the sky; though it was broad daylight, within a radius of several hundred meters it was as if day and night were alternating, and the intense mental fluctuations caused everyone in the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to change their expressions, especially the Three Great Education Committees, who shot out from the direction of the Education Committee building.
"Again?" Bai Baoshan looked toward the location of the laboratory with a speechless expression.
Meng Shenji also had a helpless look on his face, "This time the fluctuation is greater than every previous one; just in case, we should go take a look."
The reason the three were like this was mainly because in the past half year, Shi Quan would cause quite a commotion every so often; at the beginning, they thought someone was attacking Shi Quan again, and if it weren't for Dugu Bo coming out personally to explain that he was conducting experiments, they definitely would have charged straight in.
Later, this situation kept happening one after another, and gradually the people in the academy got used to it...
