Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 188 Shi Nian Takes Action
Tang San hurriedly asked, "Where is Dad?"

Titan shook his head: "This old servant does not know where the master is, but he must be secretly observing the young master's behavior."

"Perhaps the master will appear soon; perhaps after the qualifiers are over; or perhaps even later."

"Young Master, you must remember that your master has never abandoned you. He is just unable to show himself due to certain matters."

"Dean Flander was right about one thing: even if you lose two games in a row, it won't affect your chances of advancing."

"Whether for your own sake or for your master's, please take the upcoming matches seriously and advance steadily from the qualifiers, okay?"

After some words of encouragement, Tang San felt much better.

Thinking about it carefully, we really can't give up such a good chance of advancing just because of a loss in one game.

Today's match against the Wind and Fire team has been forfeited, so we won't discuss it for now. As long as they play well in the upcoming matches, they will get every point they deserve. Even if they lose to the Tianshui and Thunder teams later, they still have a very high chance of advancing.

If they can win against either the Tianshui or Thunder teams, they will definitely advance.

"But Senior Titan, I truly don't know how to persuade everyone. If I could cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, I have confidence..."

Titan interrupted again: "Young Master, cultivating twin martial souls isn't that easy. Even if your master isn't here, you should at least ask your teacher, shouldn't you?"

Although he disliked Yu Xiaogang's character, he acknowledged the man's wisdom.

……

Tang San went to find Yu Xiaogang, while Titan went to the Shrek Seven Devils' rest room to give them guidance as an elder.

Upon hearing that he needed to cultivate twin martial souls, Yu Xiaogang broke out in a cold sweat. "Xiao San, are you serious?"

"Remember what I told you? The first Twin Martial Soul Master in nearly a century died because he cultivated two Martial Souls at the same time, which caused the two soul powers in his body to clash and ultimately explode. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

There are precedents for successfully cultivating twin martial souls; his former lover, Bibi Dong, is a living example.

Bibi Dong added the spirit rings to her second spirit after she had acquired multiple spirit rings for her first spirit.

This is why Yu Xiaogang only considered adding a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer after Tang San broke through to level 90.

Unfortunately, he left the Spirit Hall too early and never learned the cultivation method of twin spirits from Bibi Dong.

He had no confidence in cultivating at this moment.

Undeterred, Tang San continued, "But teacher, you've seen the strength of the Seven Treasures Team. If I can't cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer, how can I win the upcoming matches?"

Yu Xiaogang acknowledged the power of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, but would he dare to disobey Tang Hao's wishes?

He echoed Titan's words, "Mistress, this matter is of great importance, and I need your father's consent."

"Let's finish the qualifiers first."

As he spoke, he gently patted Tang San's shoulder, "I know yesterday's defeat was a big blow to you, but you can't give up on your excellent chance to advance because of it."

"At least, you won't encounter the Qibao team again during the qualifiers."

"We'll talk about the rest later."

Tang San nodded and said no more.

Indeed, finishing the qualifiers is the most important thing.

Moreover, he will have a month of rest after the competition before discussing whether to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

When the master and apprentice returned to the lounge, Titan had already successfully persuaded everyone.

At this moment, the Shrek Seven Devils were still low in morale, but they had at least regained the courage to fight again. Seeing this, Tang San stopped talking about yesterday's events and started looking to the future.

"Everyone, be on your best for tomorrow's match against the Canghui Academy team. Don't forget the insults they gave us at the opening ceremony."

In this situation, shifting the blame is undoubtedly the best course of action.

As expected, the Shrek team members were all quite excited, their previous gloom dispelled, and they were full of confidence for the upcoming matches.

……

These past few days, Shi Nian has been busy.

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to take action against the Seven Treasures Team, but when he noticed that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's experts were secretly protecting them, he abandoned the idea. As a result, the Canghui Academy Team directly chose to concede defeat in the previous match against the Seven Treasures Team.

In the Heaven Dou Empire region, there is more than one qualifying spot in the preliminary rounds. Just because he doesn't target the Seven Treasures team doesn't mean he won't target other teams.

The Wind and Fire Team and the Sky Water Team are backed by powerful families, and there is also the influence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

While the Elephant Armor Team and the Thunder Team are certainly not weak, they are backed by extremely powerful sects. However, Shi Nian is confident that with the strength of the Canghui Academy Team, they can easily deal with the simple-minded Elephant Armor Team and the reorganized Wind and Fire Team.

Shrek Team will play against Canghui Academy tomorrow.

To ensure the success of the competition, Tang San rushed to the arena to assess the strength of Canghui Academy.

Since he was out alone, he was unsurprisingly targeted by Shi Nian.

Despite Shrek Academy suffering two consecutive defeats, many still believe they can successfully advance from the preliminaries.

Since the aforementioned teams cannot be touched, the fifth team qualified to advance, Shrek Team, is his main target for attack.

Without the blessing of the Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion, Tang San's Purple Demon Eye realm did not improve.

The Purple Demon Eye, which is said to be able to break through all illusions, is completely ineffective against mental attacks from Soul Saint level beings.

Guided by Shi Nian, Tang San noticed nothing unusual and walked straight out of Heaven Dou City.

In the shadows, with Dugu Bo's presence concealed, Wu Qi and he remained undetected, watching the scene from the perspective of bystanders.

"Little guy, you have a grudge against Tang San, why don't you use Shi Nian to kill him?"

Dugu Bo spoke expressionlessly.

He had already seen through the true colors of the father and son when he fought Tang Hao before.

Although Tang San's talent is not as great as Wu Qi's, if he is allowed to grow up, he will surely become a major threat!
Wu Qi shook his head.

Killing Tang San would certainly be satisfying, but since he was able to reincarnate in Douluo Continent, he might be able to reincarnate again.

Currently, Tang San is still in the open. If he were to be reborn again and lie dormant in the world, wouldn't that create a situation where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light?

If that's the case, why bother with all that?
"If Shi Nian kills Tang San, and then we kill Shi Nian, do you think Tang Hao will blame us for it?"

"A madman is capable of anything; we cannot relinquish the initiative to him!"

"Besides, even if Tang San breaks through to become a Title Douluo or even a Super Douluo in the future, do you think I can't handle him?"

Looking at his confident demeanor, Dugu Bo sighed and had to admit that what he said made sense.

"Alright, whatever you say, I'll do. I'll maximize my benefits. Anyway, I'm determined to have this soul bone."

Wu Qi gestured for Wu Qi to stop, saying, "Follow them slowly. If we make a move in the city, we'll be in trouble too."
