In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 144 Why is the Way of Heaven so unfair?

The next day at noon, at the training ground.

After the training session concluded, Yu Xiaogang delivered a speech, his tone as detached as ever: "You've adapted very well after this period of training. Therefore, I've decided to proceed with intensive training. I will explain the specific training program tomorrow morning."

"Go back, everyone. Tianheng, stay."

"Yes." The original team members turned and left, leaving only Yu Tianheng behind.

"Let's go back and have dinner first," Yu Xiaogang said, turning and walking towards the small courtyard where they had settled, with the others following closely behind.

After some time, after lunch, Yu Xiaogang called Yu Tianheng and Tang San into the room.

"?" Flander had some doubts, but he didn't ask any further questions.

"Tianheng, Xiaosan, I'll take you to Long Yingtian's place later," Yu Xiaogang said from inside the house.

A cold glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.

Yu Tianheng hurriedly asked, "Uncle, are you going to plead for the family?"

Yu Xiaogang disliked the word "pleading," frowned, and then said calmly, "It's not for the family, it's only for your grandfather."

"When we meet later, please convey the apologies to Zhu Wu to Long Yingtian on behalf of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Although your grandfather did not personally give the order for what happened back then, and we only learned about it afterward, the family is still somewhat guilty of negligence."

Yu Tianheng thought it made sense and nodded slightly.

"Afterwards, I will inquire whether there are any suitable rare and precious herbs for you," Yu Xiaogang continued.

In this way, Long Yingtian would assume that the funds were raised by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Yu Tianheng was secretly delighted. Raising tens of millions of gold soul coins would be easy for their family, and even hundreds of millions was not out of the question, but it would require selling off family assets.

However, if you can buy rare and precious materials of the same caliber as Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, it's still worth it.

Tang San nodded in agreement. In any case, there was no harm in asking.

So the three of them went out and returned to the living room, then walked straight out of the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, Flander leaned out of the window and looked thoughtfully in the direction the three had gone.

Fifteen minutes later, inside the villa.

Zhu Wu looked around at the three men and smiled, "May I ask what brings you here today, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said sincerely, "Young Master Long, on behalf of the Blue Lightning Tyrant family, I apologize to you and to Zhu Wu for what happened to Zhu Wu. If it weren't for the family's oversight..."

"There's no need to discuss this further," Zhu Wu waved his hand to interrupt, his expression calm. "Whether the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was negligent or not is no longer important. What matters is that the deed has already been done, and the consequences must be borne."

"A life for a life, that's only right and proper."

"As for the rest, the elder has already made it very clear that everything is up to Zhu Wu, the person involved, to decide."

"I will convey your apology later, but I will never interfere with Zhu Wu's decision."

"Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Long," Yu Tianheng said politely. It's always better to convey the message than to have nothing at all.

Zhu Wu nodded slightly, then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang and continued, "Master, is there anything else?"

"Yingtian, do you have any rare treasures here that would suit the three of us?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Tianheng.

"Don't worry, money is not a problem."

Even if I had it, I wouldn't sell it to you, not even a sliver of improvement. As for money, my father-in-law is Ning Fengzhi now, do you think he'd be short of cash?

"I'm sorry, there's nothing suitable for you," Zhu Wu said, shaking his head without hesitation.

What he needs to do now is stall for time, to wait until he becomes a god before Tang San.

As for Tang San, he cannot be strengthened, nor can he be weakened excessively. Therefore, it is best to simply say that he has none.

Based on the original work, Tang San is the most likely candidate to become the vessel for the Asura God's position. However, he has missed several opportunities, and even if he succeeds, he will be the weakest of the generation, much easier to deal with than the old Asura God.

Before it succeeds, it is nothing more than an ant.

It is currently still within a controllable range.

Tang San's brows furrowed slightly.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Ye Lingling out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but ask.

"I wonder what kind of rare treasure Ye Lingling consumed before?"

Zhu Wu did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Tang San and nodded slightly.

"Tang San, do you still remember the suggestion I gave you regarding your third spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Tang San wondered, "Is there some connection between these things?"

"Of course there is." Zhu Wu nodded. "The rare and precious herb that Lingling took is called Hunyuan Grass. It has a single attribute and no other special attributes, but that is why its medicinal power is so significant. It is the most effective treasure for enhancing soul power."

"However, there is one flaw."

"That is, it contains primordial energy, which has a strong exclusiveness and rejects other attributes."

"You are probably all aware of Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul ability; it's very singular, only capable of simple healing. The Martial Soul rings she absorbs all come from plant-type Martial Soul beasts, which are basically compatible with her Martial Soul attributes. Therefore, she can completely ignore this flaw."

"But you can't, Tang San. Your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul not only has a poison attribute, but its spirit rings are also from animal-type spirit beasts."

"Therefore, if you take the Hunyuan Grass, the consequences will be very serious."

Is this the reason why Long Yingtian didn't mention it back then? Tang San fell silent, a hint of regret rising in his eyes.

Zhu Wu continued, "If it weren't for this restriction, why would I offer such a rare treasure for trade? Wouldn't it be better to have another Title Douluo powerhouse in my sect in the future? I think, as I mentioned before, my Beast Illusion Sect also has plant-type Soul Masters."

"A spirit chooses its master; perhaps this is fate."

"Then I'm pretty lucky." Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang San and replied with a grin.

Tang San was very indignant. In terms of talent and diligence, how could he not be better than Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling?

Why is it that the less capable get opportunities, while he gets nothing? Why?!

Why is Heaven so unjust?

"It's really good." Zhu Wu smiled, seizing the opportunity to flirt with the girl. "Perhaps, this is fate's arrangement."

Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at her.

Ye Lingling lowered her head slightly, appearing somewhat silent.

"In that case, we shall take our leave." Yu Xiaogang's indifferent voice broke the silence.

"Okay." Zhu Wu smiled and watched the three leave.

"Hmph! He's putting on airs even when he's asking for a favor. Yu Xiaogang really has a thick skin!" Ning Rongrong spat lightly as Dugu Yan closed the door.

Dugu Yan nodded in deep agreement, "This person does indeed like to put on airs."

"Ignore it," Zhu Wu said calmly. "Go back to your rooms and rest. We still have cultivation this afternoon."

"Um."

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang silently led Tang San back to the courtyard, while Yu Tianheng returned to the team's dormitory.

"Xiao San, this is for you." Yu Xiaogang called Tang San into the room and handed him the bracelet.

"What is this?" Tang San looked surprised. He sensed soul power fluctuations on the bracelet, and it was clear that it was a soul tool.

"This is what your father left you," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

"Dad." Tang San's expression changed in surprise.

"Dad came by? Where is he?"
