Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 225 Tang San Turns into a Gaggyr

Tang Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Tang Hao had lost his right arm and left leg. He wondered if the two sect inheritance soul bones had also been lost.

"Brother Hao, who on earth got you into this state?" Tang Xiao looked at his younger brother's dejected appearance and felt a bit disappointed.

"Brother, I don't know who did it, at the time..."

Tang Hao had no choice but to recount the situation he encountered after his dazzling appearance in front of the Papal Palace.

"As early as the match between Xiao San and Tianshui Academy in the Great Soul Arena of Tian Dou City, Xiao San revealed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. At that time, I thought the Spirit Hall would take action against Xiao San, but the Spirit Hall didn't care at all, as if they didn't see it. Moreover, they let Xiao San's team advance to the finals without any effort. I thought this was a perfect opportunity for Xiao San to win the championship. I didn't expect that all of this was a trap set by Bibi Dong against me. She even stole the two inherited soul bones of my sect."

"Big brother, I am a sinner of the sect, it's all my fault. But there is still hope for Xiao San. Although his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can no longer be cultivated, his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul already has five spirit rings, the first four of which are over eight thousand years old. As long as Xiao San can grow up, our sect will still have a chance to rise again."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he immediately knelt down and begged Tang Xiao to let Tang San return to the sect.

"dad,…"

Tang San saw his father kneeling on one knee and felt so sorry for him that he quickly helped Tang Hao up.

"The Spirit Hall stole the sect's inherited soul bone?"

"Second Uncle is too..."

The other young people from the Haotian Sect were stunned. In their hearts, they cursed Tang Hao's ancestors a hundred and eighty times.

Tang San looked at the young people in the sect blaming his father, his face was very gloomy, and he felt extremely resentful. He thought: My father did nothing wrong. It was all the Spirit Hall's fault. Also, if my father hadn't been expelled from the sect, he wouldn't have suffered. The Clear Sky Sect was also at fault.

However, Tang San hated it as much as he did, but dared not say it out loud. He could only roar in his heart, feeling indignant for his father.

"Alright! Everyone, stop talking." Tang Yuehua stopped the others from speaking.

"Why…!"

Tang Xiao sighed deeply. The thing he feared most had happened. At this moment, he didn't know what to say about his troublesome younger brother.

He's good for nothing but causing trouble!

Tang Xiao could already imagine the scene of the sect elders getting angry at Tang Hao.

Losing two pieces of the sect's inherited soul bones is an unforgivable crime, and the elders will never let Tang Hao off the hook.

"Big brother, let's send second brother and third brother back to the sect first! We can discuss the other matters later."

Tang Yuehua saw a hint of disappointment in Tang Xiao's eyes, so she tried to comfort him, saying that no matter how unreliable Tang Hao was, he was still family.

"Let's go back first!"

Tang Xiao pulled Tang Hao up. He was quite helpless to have such a troublesome younger brother.

"Brother, I can leave. I will give the sect an explanation."

Tang Hao shook off his brother's hand, not wanting him to pull him back.

"What are you still trying to prove? Your arms and legs are broken, do you still think you're the Haotian Douluo now?!"

Tang Xiao, displaying his elder brother authority, shouted loudly, turning the arrogant Tang Hao into a docile younger brother.

"Mistress, take good care of your father. The road ahead is going to be tough."

"Tang Long, Tang Tian, ​​Tang Yu, I'll take your aunt back first to make preparations. The three of you, along with your second uncle and Xiao San, will follow along and take care of them on the way."

Tang Xiao gave a few instructions, then led Tang Yuehua and sped up the mountain ahead, disappearing in a few breaths.

"Second Uncle, Cousin, let's go!"

Tang Long called to the others, and they set off towards the high mountain ahead.

The mountain path leading to the Clear Sky Sect was extremely rugged. In Tang San's eyes, it was hardly a path at all; some parts were sheer cliffs. It would be very difficult to climb these cliffs if one's cultivation level was below the Soul Sect level.

Tang Hao gritted his teeth and limped along with the three Tang brothers as they climbed up the cliff. He refused to let anyone help him and insisted on maintaining his pride even with a broken hand and a broken leg.

After a period of arduous climbing, the group finally reached the summit. Ahead lay a cliff hundreds of meters high, with no way to proceed except for two large iron chains connecting to the opposite cliff edge, several hundred meters apart.

Tang Hao looked at the iron chain as thick as an arm, gritted his teeth, and prepared to jump up.

"Second Uncle, let me take you there!"

Tang Long grabbed Tang Hao, carried him on his back, jumped onto the iron chain, and steadily walked towards the opposite cliff. This was to prevent Tang Hao from falling off the iron chain and starting the meal prematurely, since Tang Hao now only had one leg and one arm, his strength had decreased, and his movements were even more inconvenient.

As the eldest brother of the younger generation of the Haotian Sect and a Soul Emperor, Tang Long set an example by not hating Tang Hao like his cousins, but he also didn't have any goodwill towards him.

"Thank you, Brother Tang Long." Tang San originally wanted to carry his father across the iron chain, but Tang Long beat him to it.

"Cousin, you're gone."

Tang Tian and Tang Yu reminded Tang San, then jumped onto the iron chain and headed towards the opposite mountain peak.

"Thank you both, brothers."

Tang San looked at the large iron chain between the two mountain peaks and thought of the giant iron chain that Tang Clan had used to scare away ghosts in his previous life.

"This scene is so similar to the Tang Clan of my past life."

Tang San had a feeling that this trip to the Clear Sky Sect would definitely make things difficult for him and his father.

"Whoosh..."

After regaining his senses, Tang San jumped onto the iron chain and ran towards the mountain peak ahead. Although the iron chain swayed a bit, it posed no problem for Tang San.

Tang San and his group crossed the iron chains and several mountain peaks before finally reaching the summit of the last great snow mountain. They saw white mist shrouding the cliffs ahead, obscuring the large iron chains connecting the opposite peaks.

"Huff huff..."

Snowflakes were still falling from the sky, and the cold wind was biting, making people feel a bone-chilling cold.

"This natural barrier is our sect's last line of defense. It spans a thousand meters from the top of this snow-capped mountain to the opposite mountain, and the cliff below is two thousand meters high."

Tang Long introduced the last natural barrier to Tang Hao and his son, took out a rope, tied Tang Hao to his body, and attached the other end to a large iron chain. Then he jumped onto the iron chain and rushed towards the opposite mountain peak.

"Cousin, watch your foot, it might slip."

Tang Tian and Tang Yu gave Tang San a subtle reminder, then tied a rope to the large iron chain, jumped onto the chain, and disappeared into the mist.

Tang San looked into the abyss with his Purple Demon Eye and immediately gasped. The large iron chain between the two mountain peaks was frozen solid. If one were to slip and fall into the abyss, the entire village would surely be thrown into a frenzy.

"Swish..."

Tang San had no way out at this moment, so he jumped down as well. Fortunately, he had the Purple Demon Eye, which allowed him to see the large iron chain through the mist. He finally reached the end safely.

When Tang San arrived at the cliff, he saw a huge mountain gate with the three characters "Haotian Sect" carved on a large stone wall, which looked very majestic.

At this moment, Tang Hao stood in front of the Haotian Sect's mountain gate, his face showing shame.

The three Tang brothers were whispering something to two disciples guarding the mountain gate, while the two men would occasionally glance at Tang Hao with expressions of disgust.

"Thump...thump..."

At this moment, Tang Hao bent his left knee and knelt directly on the ground, banging his head heavily. The sound was like the beating of a drum, and his forehead was even broken and bleeding profusely.

Tang Long and his group did not stop him, but looked at Tang Hao with indifferent eyes. At this moment, everyone was thinking: What's the use of kowtowing now? Those dead elders will not come back to life.

"dad…"

Seeing his father harming himself like this, Tang San rushed forward to help him up.

To be honest, Tang San didn't have a good impression of the people in the Clear Sky Sect. Apart from his aunt Tang Yuehua, who made him feel some warmth, almost everyone else looked down on him.

In his previous life, Tang San was a Tang Clan assassin and an orphan, so he didn't have much emotion. He was finally reborn into this world, gained a father, and even adopted a rabbit sister, receiving love. However, a Soul Master Competition caused him to lose all of this. Tang San's heart is now very cold.

"Little San, don't stop me! Let me kowtow! I'm a sinner against the sect..."

Tang Hao pushed Tang San's hand away and continued kowtowing.

"Boom..."

"Tang Hao, you traitor to the sect, how dare you return? And you brought back a vile beast, are you planning to continue to wreak havoc on the sect?"

"You and your son shall kneel before the mountain gate for three days and three nights, and kowtow three thousand times in repentance."

Just then, the mountain gate opened, and an angry voice came from inside, cursing Tang Hao.

"Tang Long, you guys come in! For the next few days, make Tang Hao and that beast kneel down and guard the mountain gate."

The person who spoke was the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect, one of the people who hated Tang Hao the most. The reason was that his son was killed by the Spirit Hall while he was buying grain, but he felt that Tang Hao was the one who provoked him.

"Second Uncle, Cousin, please bear with it! Right now, the Sect Master and the elders are probably arguing like cats and dogs."

After saying a few words to Tang Hao's father and brother, Tang Long called his brothers to enter the sect.

"Boom..."

As Tang Long and his group entered, the heavy mountain gate closed immediately.

The heavy snowflakes falling from the sky landed on the black stone wall, making Tang Hao and Tang San feel extremely cold.

"The north wind is blowing so hard! The snowflakes are falling so heavily!..."

No matter how cold the snowflakes are, they can't compare to the coldness in one's heart. At this moment, Tang San and Tang Hao felt the same way, but Tang Hao showed no dissatisfaction and continued to kowtow.

"Thump...thump..."

"Father, we're not going back to the sect. We're leaving this place and never coming back."

"Anyway, you were expelled from the sect long ago. In their eyes, you are no longer a member of the sect."

Tang San wouldn't stand for it. Kneeling for three days and three nights and kowtowing three thousand times would probably drive him crazy. So he directly persuaded his father to give up returning to the sect.

"Shut up, you mistress!"

"I must bear the consequences of my mistakes. You should also kneel down and kowtow; this is a test from the sect for us."

Tang Hao shouted at Tang San, then used his left hand to pull the boy down, pressing his head down heavily onto the cold stone slab.

Tang Hao was a sect slave. At this moment, he would be willing to kowtow three thousand times, or even commit suicide.

"Thump...thump..."

"hiss…"

Tang San's head slammed heavily against the stone slab, and he saw stars. He angrily shouted in his heart: Am I still your son? Did you have to be so cruel?

Fortunately, Tang Hao only made Tang San kowtow ten times before letting go and then started kowtowing himself.

"Thump...thump..."

The sound of the father and son kowtowing rang out continuously, accompanied by the howling of the cold wind, forming a rhythmic melody.

Meanwhile, the council hall inside the Haotian Sect was in complete chaos.

"We absolutely cannot let Tang Hao and his son return. This Tang Hao is a menace. He must have gotten himself into serious trouble, which is why he shamelessly ran back to the sect. If we let them return, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Haotian Sect."

"Having lost two of the sect's inherited soul bones, how dare he come back? He should have atoned with his death long ago."

"Because of Tang Hao and that monstrous soul beast, so many people in our Clear Sky Sect died. If we were to let him return to the sect, I'm afraid the fallen clansmen would not agree..."

"that is……"

Apart from Tang Xiao and Tang Yuehua, most of the other elders were against it, mainly because Tang Hao had allowed Bibi Dong to steal two of the Clear Sky Sect's inherited soul bones, which was an unforgivable crime.

Those two inherited soul bones were of very high age, one was 70,000 years old and the other was 80,000 years old, both were the sect's most treasured possessions.

In everyone's eyes, a person can die, but their soul cannot be lost. If it weren't for Tang Xiao's sake, the elders would have wanted to kill Tang Hao right now.

Of all the elders, only the eldest, the Second Elder, remained silent, quietly contemplating the explosive news that Tang Yuehua had brought back earlier.

The current Tang San doesn't have the same opportunities as in the original story. He's lost his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, is ugly, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul is ruined, Xiao Wu is dead, his father is crippled, and his teacher has become a laughingstock, a farting eunuch. This series of bad experiences has made him very cynical, and he always has a gloomy face, making him look like a bad person at first glance.

Everyone in the Haotian Sect who had met Tang San felt genuine disgust for him. Even Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao were somewhat disdainful, though they, as elders, did not show it.

"Elders, what do you think should be done with Brother Hao?"

At this moment, Tang Xiao asked everyone. As the sect leader, he couldn't be too biased towards Tang Hao, otherwise it would make the clansmen feel disheartened. But Tang Hao was also his own younger brother, and he couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

Ugh! My head hurts!

Tang Xiao was at his wit's end and couldn't think of any way to solve the problem.

"Of course, he should repent before the old sect leader and then atone with his death. He also has a few soul bones in his body, which should be extracted to compensate the sect."

"Sect Master, your father, Tang Zhan, was literally angered to death by your younger brother. I will never forget that scene."

The Seventh Elder coldly told Tang Xiao his plan, even bringing up the matter of Tang Hao angering the old sect leader to death, stirring up everyone's emotions and arousing their resentment towards Tang Hao. In short, Tang Hao could not be let off the hook.

"Uncles and elders, are we really going to kill my second brother? We're all from the same clan, how can we do this? Waaah..."

Upon hearing outside that Tang Hao was to be killed and his soul bones stripped, Tang Yuehua immediately ran in and burst into tears.

"Yuehua, you can go out now!" Tang Xiao was very troubled as he watched his younger sister run in crying.

"Yuehua, why are you crying? Tang Hao killed the man who was your father, don't you hate him? You're still speaking up for that sinner, what kind of behavior is that..."

The other elders all looked at Tang Yuehua as if she were scolding a child.

"Waaah..."

Although Tang Yuehua was over 40 years old, she lacked power and had no say in front of these elders. She could only cry as she walked back to her room.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's make that father and son kneel for three days and three nights, then we'll see how things go!"

At this moment, the Second Elder, who had been silent until now, spoke up and stopped the argument.

The second elder was the oldest and most prestigious, and no one dared to argue when he spoke.

A day passed, and Tang Hao and Tang San had been kneeling outside the Haotian Sect's mountain gate for a whole day. Their legs were numb, especially Tang Hao, who only had one leg, making it even more painful for him.

"Dad, stop kneeling, let's leave!"

Tang San couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground, urging Tang Hao to give up.

After kowtowing all day, both of their foreheads were swollen; it was so uncomfortable.

During this time, the sect only sent two bowls of porridge and two steamed buns. The disciple who delivered the food said that because the sect was being suppressed by the Spirit Hall, it could not make any money and could only eat these.

Upon hearing what the food delivery person said, Tang Hao immediately stopped eating and even let the delivery person take Tang San's portion.

"Xiao San, hang in there for two more days." Tang Hao was also feeling very frustrated at this moment, but he still pulled Tang San along and gritted his teeth to persevere.

The next day, when the disciple who brought the food came out, he started to play the victim as usual, saying that the sect was poor and so on. Tang Hao, as usual, stood firm and refused to eat, dragging Tang San along to go hungry.

Seeing Tang Hao's tough stance, the disciples who were supposed to deliver food simply stopped doing so. After all, a Soul Master wouldn't die from going hungry for a couple of days.

"Dad, wake up! The sect wants us dead."

On the third day, Tang San finally couldn't hold back anymore. At this moment, his hatred for the Clear Sky Sect was second only to that for the Spirit Hall and Ye Liangchen. This extreme resentment caused his soul to begin to turn dark.

"Boom..."

"Three days have passed. Tang Hao, bring your wicked son in here and face another test."

Just then, the mountain gate opened, and a domineering voice came from inside, exactly the same as the voice from three days ago, clearly belonging to the same person.

Tang Hao got up and stretched to warm up his body. Three days and three nights of kneeling and kowtowing had left his whole body numb.

"Little San, come with me into the sect."

Tang Hao pulled Tang San, whose face was gloomy, to his feet and walked into the mountain gate.

"Buzzing..."

When the two entered the sect's main hall, they saw Tang Xiao and five elders sitting in front of them, quietly watching them. The oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming, making it difficult for the two to breathe.

"The sinner Tang Hao, along with his son Tang San, pays respects to the sect leader and all the elders."

Seeing this, Tang Hao immediately pulled Tang San down to kneel down with him. Anyway, they had gotten used to kneeling for the past three days, so kneeling one more time wouldn't hurt.

"Tang Hao, you sinner, traitor... If you have any conscience left, go to your father's grave immediately and atone with your death."

The Seventh Elder, Lieyang Douluo, had a bad temper, and when he saw Tang Hao's horrible appearance, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Seventh Uncle, you don't need to say anything, I will atone with my death. I will take responsibility for the mistakes I made."

"However, Xiao San is innocent. We beg the Sect Master and all the elders to consider that he is a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. Xiao San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul has already acquired five soul rings..."

Tang Hao decided to use his own death to get Tang San to join the sect, since he was already crippled anyway and would die sooner or later.

"What a joke! What right do you, the bastard born of that wretched soul beast, have to join my Clear Sky Sect? His Clear Sky Hammer martial soul should be crippled, and he should be forbidden from ever setting foot in the sect again."

The Seventh Elder and the other elders looked down on Tang San when they saw his gloomy and ugly face, thinking that this kid was no good.

"Brother Hao..." Tang Xiao was startled when he saw that Tang Hao was about to commit suicide.

"Dad, no, let's leave!..."

When Tang San saw that his father wanted to commit suicide, he immediately objected.

"Shut up, mistress. As a man, you have to bear the consequences of your mistakes."

"Swish..."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he took out a dagger and made several cuts on his right leg, directly peeling off a piece of ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

"Buzz..." The soul bone appeared, and its colorful light made the elders' eyes light up.

"Daddy,...no..."

"Brother Hao...why are you doing this to yourself?"

Tang Hao's self-harm left Tang San and Tang Xiao dumbfounded. Tang Xiao rushed over, wanting to reattach the soul bone.

"Brother, stop talking. This is a crime I committed, and I must bear the consequences."

Tang Hao forcefully stopped Tang Xiao. Although he was in a lot of pain, he didn't even blink.

"Second brother, sob sob..." Tang Yuehua walked in from outside and burst into tears upon seeing Tang Hao's miserable appearance.

"Seventh Uncle, please help me! I only have one hand now, and I can't separate the soul bone from my left hand."

Tang Hao gestured to Lieyang Douluo, signaling him to take action.

"Alright!" The Seventh Elder stood up, went directly to Tang Hao, and used his dagger to make several cuts on Tang Hao's left hand, directly peeling off the soul bone.

"Stop hitting me..." Tang Yuehua cried out in anguish from the side.

"Ah ah..."

Tang San finally erupted, his hatred for the Clear Sky Sect reaching its peak. Strands of black energy emanated from his body, making him look like a demon from hell.

"Hehehe...! The most evil person has finally been born."

"Young man, do you desire revenge? As long as you become the great successor of the Rakshasa God, you can do it, and you can get whatever you want."

Just then, a sinister voice echoed in Tang San's mind, tempting him to accept the inheritance.

"I do."

Upon hearing the word "god," Tang San agreed without hesitation, stating that he was willing to sell his soul and body if it meant he could take revenge.

"Congratulations on making the right choice. The first test from the Rakshasa God: Head to the City of Slaughter to commit evil deeds."

"I will take control of your body first, otherwise you will not be able to escape the Haotian Sect."

Rakshasa had been observing Tang San with his divine sense for some time, and finally waited until the boy turned evil, so he decisively made his move.

Anyway, I'm just finding someone to fill in so I can run away. As for what happens after that, it's none of my business.

Rakshasa God originally intended to send Tang San to mess with Ye Liangchen, since the kid had previously intimidated him. However, Ye Liangchen's abilities were extraordinary, and Tang San was no match for him. Moreover, Ye Liangchen was affiliated with the Goddess of Life, and if the Goddess of Life got angry, she might have the God of Destruction kill him, which would be disastrous. Therefore, Rakshasa God sent Tang San to the Asura God's dojo, assigning him some evil tasks, letting him do wicked things with the fallen ones—basically, just for fun.

"The mistress..."

Tang San's transformation stunned Tang Hao and Tang Xiao; it seemed he was on the verge of turning evil!

"Hehehe...! Tang Hao, your life has been too pathetic. You might as well die sooner rather than later! The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reborn."

Tang San looked at Tang Hao's miserable appearance and revealed an evil smile, then quickly rushed towards the mountain gate.

"Quickly, grab him!"

When everyone discovered that Tang San had become like this, emanating an endless evil aura, they realized that he had been possessed by something. So they tried to capture him to prevent him from causing endless trouble.

"Bang…"

"Hehehe...!"

At this moment, Tang San was controlled by the Rakshasa's divine sense, and that power was unstoppable by anyone else. He instantly shook off the others and rushed out of the mountain gate to the edge of the cliff.

"Hehehe...! Haotian Sect, what a Haotian Sect! If I don't die, I will surely destroy you all."

"I, Tang San, swear that if I don't destroy your Clear Sky Sect, my whole family will die."

"Swish"

Rakshasa's divine sense discovered that Tang San's hatred for the Clear Sky Sect was so great, so he deliberately shouted it out loud to disgust the Clear Sky Sect, and then jumped off the cliff.

"The other woman..."

Tang Hao watched his son jump off the cliff and collapsed to the ground.

"Are you satisfied now? Waaaaah..."

Upon hearing what Tang San said when he jumped off the cliff, Tang Yuehua burst into tears.
