Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 223 Tang Yuehua is somewhat disappointed with Tang Hao and his son.

Tang Hao had been hoping that Tang San might activate the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline after absorbing the soul bone left behind by the Blue Silver Emperor, but now that the soul bone had disappeared, his last hope was dashed.

"Ahhh...!"

Tang Dachui was in despair and couldn't help but let out a long howl, lamenting why heaven was so cruel to him.

"Pfft..."

Tang Hao's shout immediately aggravated his old injuries, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which splashed onto Tang San's face. He then fell straight backward, unconscious.

"dad…"

Tang San was startled and rushed over, using his Xuan Tian Gong to regulate Tang Hao's blood and qi, then pinching his philtrum and performing artificial respiration to carry out a series of rescues.

"ah…"

"Pfft..."

Half an hour later, after Tang San's intervention, Tang Dachui finally woke up slowly, and then spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Dad, you're awake." Tang San breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Tang Hao awake.

"Little San, your father can't protect your mother, nor can he help you solve the problem of cultivating twin martial souls. I'm just a useless piece of trash."

Tang Hao caught his breath, looked at Tang San, and felt a little guilty towards his son. His wish to take revenge on the Spirit Hall was forever dashed, and such a blow was too heavy.

"Dad, don't we still have the Haotian Sect? How is the sect doing now?"

When Tang San mentioned the Haotian Sect to his father, he recalled that whenever he tried to learn about the sect, his father would put on a deadpan expression, radiating a deep sense of resentment and hatred.

"Back then, your mother sacrificed herself for me, making me a Title Douluo. That battle lasted three days and three nights. In the end, I severely injured Qian Xunji, but he died not long after returning to the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall pinned Qian Xunji's death on me and directly launched a war against the Clear Sky Sect... Under the attack of the Spirit Hall, the sect was almost crippled. Your grandfather died from a stroke, and in the end, the Clear Sky Sect had no choice but to close its mountain and swear never to emerge again. I was also expelled from the Clear Sky Sect."

"Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall spared our Clear Sky Sect only because of your great-grandfather's reputation."

"As for the current situation of the sect, I don't know either, because I have no face to go back, and I dare not go back."

Tang Hao tearfully recounted to Tang San how the Clear Sky Sect had been crippled by the Spirit Hall, expressing his deep pain and resentment.

"What about my great-grandfather?" Tang San was very curious about his great-grandfather. How powerful must he be to be able to get face from the peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu!

"Little San, your great-grandfather was named Tang Chen. His cultivation was the same as Qian Daoliu's. Back when he was alive, our Clear Sky Sect was on par with the Spirit Hall... However, he disappeared later, and decades have passed. Otherwise, how could our Clear Sky Sect have fallen to such a state?"

When Tang Hao spoke of his grandfather's illustrious reputation, a hint of pride and admiration appeared on his face. However, when he recalled what that brat Ye Liangchen had said, Tang Hao was immediately filled with shame.

"The Spirit Hall has gone too far."

After hearing his father recount the devastation inflicted on the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San's overwhelming hatred erupted, which, combined with his ugly face, made him appear incredibly ferocious.

"Mistress, there's no use in hating me here. Leave first."

Tang Hao looked at the Blue Silver Grass on the ground, and it was only a three-finger-high root and no leaves left. He felt heartbroken. Then he dug up the Blue Silver Grass root and soil together and carried it with him.

"Now that your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is completely useless, you don't need to cultivate anymore. Focus on cultivating the Hammer Martial Soul."

He planned to help Tang San add his fifth spirit ring first, then take the guy back to the sect and ask his elder brother for help. As for himself, he would go to his father's grave to atone for his sins with his death.

"Dad, the spirit bone that Mom left behind must have been taken by the Spirit Hall."

Tang San was filled with resentment and unwillingness when he thought about how the 100,000-year-old soul bone his mother left him had been stolen.

"Mistress, it doesn't matter who took the soul bone anymore."

Having had even his two sect-inherited soul bones stolen by Bibi Dong, Tang Hao was numb to the disappearance of the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bones.

After leaving the mountain range, the father and son disguised themselves and headed directly towards Tiandou City, intending to find a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in the Sunset Forest.

"Bang…"

"roar…"

After nearly a month, the two finally found a 12000-year-old demonic bear. The father and son worked together to kill the bear, and Tang San absorbed the 10,000-year-old spirit ring, officially becoming a Spirit King.

Looking at the five spirit rings of purple, purple, purple, and black on his son's hammer, Tang Hao felt pretty good. His son was only 15 years old and his spirit power had reached level 51, which was much better than his own at that age.

However, the next moment, Tang Hao remembered Ye Liangchen's monstrous strength, and he immediately felt unbalanced again.

"Little San, let's go to Tian Dou City."

Tang Hao decided to take Tang San to see his sister Tang Yuehua first, and then have her take him back to the sect. This way, Tang San would have a better chance of being recognized as a member of the sect.

Tang Hao originally wanted Tang San to enter the Slaughter City and challenge the Hell Road, but Tang San's current temperament and strength did not meet his requirements, so Tang Hao dared not take the risk and planned to wait until Tang San reached level 60 before sending him to the Slaughter City.

Tang Hao has now lost his right arm and left leg, and has old injuries in his body. If he uses his full strength, he will vomit blood again. He even feels a bit strained to help Tang San kill a ten-thousand-year-old demonic bear. In the future, when Tang San needs a sixth or seventh spirit ring, he may not be able to help. Therefore, he can only ask his elder brother to help train Tang San and, by the way, let Tang San recognize his ancestors and return to the clan to atone for his sins.

It is only natural that children should pay for their parents' debts.

……

Since learning that her second brother had lost an arm and a leg in the Soul Master Grand Finals, Tang Yuehua, the mistress of Yuexuan in Tiandou City, has been heartbroken and often sheds tears. She no longer has the heart to teach music to the noble children and has to rely on several female teachers to keep Yuexuan running smoothly.

"Master, two men have arrived at the entrance of Yuexuan Pavilion. They want to see you. One of them has a broken right hand and a broken left leg."

That day, Tang Yuehua was sitting on the balcony of the top floor of Yuexuan as usual, lost in thought, when suddenly a female student ran up and brought a message that instantly woke Tang Yuehua up.

"Tap tap..."

Upon hearing that the person had broken his arms and legs, Tang Yuehua knew it must be her second brother, Tang Dachui, so she immediately ran downstairs.

"Second brother,..."

When Tang Yuehua saw the elderly man with a cane, she broke down, tears streaming down her face.

"Yuehua," Tang Hao called softly, his throat feeling a little dry.

"Second brother, let's go inside first."

Tang Yuehua immediately beckoned the two to enter Yuexuan and headed up to the top floor.

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San and felt that her nephew was even uglier than a few months ago. What had he gone through?

"If this woman calls my father 'Second Brother,' then she must be my aunt!"

Tang San was completely dumbfounded. His father was so ugly, while his sister was so beautiful. The contrast was too great.

"Second brother, what happened to you? Waaaaah..."

Once inside the top floor, Tang Yuehua could no longer hold back and threw herself into Tang Hao's arms, bursting into tears, not minding the sour smell emanating from him.

Tang San was stunned when he saw Tang Yuehua rush into her father's arms and cry. He thought to himself: "My aunt is so beautiful, and she has the same taste as me. She doesn't mind the smell on my father. We are truly family."

"Yuehua, don't cry, I'm fine. I miscalculated this time."

"Ms. Xiao, this is my younger sister, Tang Yuehua, who is also your aunt."

Tang Hao comforted his sister and then introduced Tang Yuehua to Tang San.

"Greetings, Aunt." Tang San immediately bowed respectfully to Tang Yuehua.

Looking at this beautiful and wealthy woman, Tang San even suspected that his aunt and father were not siblings from the same mother.

One is as beautiful as an angel, and the other is so ugly. It's hard to imagine that they are siblings. Are all the men in the Haotian Sect as ugly as their father?

"Second brother, he looks just like you."

Tang Yuehua smiled. This child was just as ugly as her second brother; he was obviously her biological son.

However, Tang Yuehua did not see a trace of Ah Yin in Tang San, which was really strange. You know, although Ah Yin was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, she was also a great beauty!

"Mistress, I'll call you that from now on!"

Tang Yuehua smiled and reached out her delicate hand to touch Tang San's face. No matter how ugly he was, he was still her second brother's child and her nephew.

"aunt,…"

Tang San felt the warmth from Tang Yuehua's hands and was deeply moved. It was a motherly care that he had never experienced in his past and present lives, but he never expected to feel it from his aunt.

"Little San, I actually knew about you a long time ago. I even went to the Heaven Dou Arena to watch your match during the Soul Master Competition."

Tang Yuehua said with a smile, "To be honest, I was a little disappointed with Tang San's performance in the Soul Master Competition, especially the match against Canghui Academy. That kid violated the rules and injured someone during the match, which was very disappointing."

I heard that in the final qualifying round, Tang San's eyebrows were cut off by that monster Ye Liangchen, and even all his clothes were cut off, leaving him only in a pair of red underwear. Tang Yuehua thought Tang San was too bad and had brought shame to the Haotian Sect.

"Yuehua, the reason I've come to you is to ask you to return to Haotian Sect with me so that my elder brother can allow Xiaosan to be recognized as a member of the clan."

"I'm useless now, I can no longer help the mistress."

Tang Hao directly stated his purpose to Tang Yuehua. Without Tang Yuehua's company, Tang Hao had no face to go back and see his elder brother.

"Second brother, I advised you to return to the sect with me two years ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've gotten yourself into this state, and Bibi Dong even stole two of the sect's inherited soul bones. If eldest brother and the elders find out, they'll definitely be furious."

Tang Yuehua didn't even know how to describe her second brother. After experiencing such a painful lesson, he still let that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast named Xiao Wu go to the Spirit Hall with Tang San, and now look what happened!

It is said that after Xiao Wu was captured by Pope Bibi Dong, Ye Liangchen told Xiao Wu that Tang Hao had discovered Xiao Wu's true identity when she entered Notting Academy. Later, he even allowed Xiao Wu to follow Tang San to Wuhun City, which was very likely because he wanted Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself for Tang San in her most desperate moment.

After hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Xiao Wu sacrificed herself to him without hesitation, probably out of despair.

When Tang Yuehua heard this news, she naturally didn't believe that her second brother was that kind of person. However, she recalled that Tang Hao had taken the pregnant Ah Yin to Wuhun City, and then a series of tragic events occurred. Ah Yin eventually sacrificed herself for Tang Hao.

There are also rumors that Ye Liangchen gave his second brother the nickname "Hammer Douluo," saying that he was not worthy of the title "Haotian Douluo," which belonged only to his grandfather Tang Chen. Surprisingly, his second brother accepted the nickname "Hammer Douluo" without refutation.

These rumors combined made Tang Yuehua feel for the first time that her second brother was a stranger; this was not the spirited Haotian Douluo of yesteryear.

Once a person becomes suspicious, they will always discover something. However, because Tang Hao was her second brother, Tang Yuehua couldn't say anything, but she was very disappointed.

"Yuehua, I will take responsibility for my mistakes. Let's first let the mistress be recognized by her family! She is innocent."

Faced with his sister's blame, Tang Hao felt extremely ashamed and took all the responsibility upon himself.

"Hey, I heard Ye Liangchen made you look bad in the qualifying rounds. Did you have some kind of conflict with him?"

Tang Yuehua couldn't understand why Ye Liangchen was targeting Tang San. Logically speaking, these two young people had no grudges at all!

Ye Liangchen, that prodigy, is incredibly strong, handsome, and fearless of authority. He even dares to fight Xue Xing and Xue Beng. Moreover, he heals his opponents' injuries during the Soul Fighting Competition. Most importantly, he is also knowledgeable in music, which Tang Yuehua greatly admires.

It's truly unbelievable that such a prodigy would cause his nephew Tang San to lose face.

Tang Yuehua suspected that Tang San must have offended that monstrous young man.

"Auntie, that guy is no good."

"This final competition was a scheme targeting my father. I suspect it's very likely a conspiracy orchestrated by Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong."

The moment Tang Yuehua mentioned Ye Liangchen, Tang San's face immediately darkened, his expression became ferocious, and an overwhelming hatred emanated from him, making him look like a man-eating demon, which startled Tang Yuehua.

Tang San was embarrassed to talk about the various grudges he had with Ye Liangchen. From his teacher asking Ye Liangchen for the method of evolving his martial soul, to his revenge for Xiao Wu in the Soul Arena, Tang San felt that he was the one who started all the trouble, and Ye Liangchen seemed to have done nothing wrong. But Tang San would never admit that he was wrong; he could only blame Ye Liangchen for being too outstanding and stealing his thunder, which made him uncomfortable.

When Tang Hao heard Ye Liangchen's name, his face also darkened, filled with resentment.

"Second brother, we still have the Spirit Hall as a major enemy, yet you insist on letting Xiao San become enemies with that Ye Liangchen."

"I've heard that Ye Liangchen has six Title Douluos behind him. That's a huge force. If we can befriend him, we'll have a powerful ally if we ever have to fight the Spirit Hall."

Looking at the gloomy faces of the father and son, Tang Yuehua didn't know how to describe them. With brains like that, they still wanted to take revenge on the Spirit Hall? Dream on!
