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

Chapter 467 The Eight Spider Lances are Gone

Ten days later, at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Zhu Wu led Ning Rongrong inside, and Ning Fengzhi, who had received the news beforehand, rushed to greet them immediately.

"Dad, Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword!" Ning Rongrong called out as she ran forward and threw herself into her father Ning Fengzhi's arms, acting coquettishly.

Ning Fengzhi reached out and patted his daughter's head, then looked up at Zhu Wu and said politely, "Fengzhi greets Senior."

Behind him, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

As for Chen Jianjun, he recently went on a long journey in search of an opportunity to break through level 99.

"Let's go inside." Zhu Wu nodded slightly. "Meeting Rongrong this time has led me to discover a few interesting things."

"Senior, please!" Ning Fengzhi immediately took his daughter's hand and stepped aside to lead the way.

A short while later, the group entered the house.

"Feng Zhi, you must have already received the news and know what happened outside Shrek Academy," Zhu Wu said first.

"Yes," Ning Fengzhi replied.

On the way back to the sect with his daughter, the spies who were protecting her returned to the sect and told him what had happened.

"That boy named Tang San is the child of Tang Hao and Jin Juhuang," Zhu Wu said.

"Possesses twin martial souls."

"Ah!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.

"That guy is Tang Hao's son?"

It turned out he was Tang Hao's son, and had even awakened twin martial souls. Ning Fengzhi and his two companions were also surprised.

"That's right." Zhu Wu nodded. "Tang Hao was also there, but he was hiding in the shadows."

"Teacher, since Tang Hao and Tang San are both here, why don't you just arrest them?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled.

"Because I want to leave Tang San to you, and also have your third senior brother as a sparring partner," Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"There's no rush to eliminate someone who can be easily eliminated, so we should make the most of them."

"That kid is a soul from another world, and he came with memories of his previous life. I've been to that world before; it's a low-level martial arts plane with scarce spiritual energy."

"However, there are also many geniuses who have created many miraculous cultivation techniques that can absorb scarce spiritual energy for cultivation."

"Among them is a sect called Tang Clan, which is a martial arts assassination organization skilled in using hidden weapons to kill enemies. They possess a secret manual called Xuan Tian Bao Lu. Although the techniques recorded in it are only second-rate, their characteristics are suitable for your Ning family. After all, sects like this, which are famous for assassination, are best at concealment and escape, and they are quite experienced in self-preservation."

"So, teacher, the cultivation technique you taught me comes from this sect?" Ning Rongrong asked subconsciously.

"It's more like borrowing from others," Zhu Wu said. "My teacher wouldn't even look down on some second-rate techniques."

"The Xuan Tian Gong, which they regard as the supreme internal skill, is utterly insignificant compared to the Longevity Gong, which I have improved many times. The ultimate skills I pass on to you are all based on the Longevity Gong, and then created according to my own understanding and your needs."

"Rongrong, didn't you notice that Tang San's grappling techniques are quite easy to deal with?"

"Hehe, you're really amazing, teacher!" Ning Rongrong immediately flattered her.

Zhu Wu smiled, turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, and changed the subject, "However, I still used the names of the techniques from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "I understand what you mean, senior."

Although they are different techniques, they share similar characteristics and even the same name. Stealing another sect's secret techniques is a crime punishable by death.

If Tang San is in trouble, why would Tang Hao hide away and not come out?

Zhu Wu nodded in satisfaction, "No rush, let's wait until he's demonstrated his value. If I'm not mistaken, that kid should participate in the next Soul Master Competition."

"This is a good opportunity to make him expose himself, and also give Rongrong and Dangdang some sparring practice."

"Hmph, you defeated opponent, you think you can beat me? No way!" Ning Rongrong said arrogantly, raising her chin.

She lost even though her technique was superior; her name could be written backwards.

"The teacher is very confident about this as well," Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"Also," he looked up at Ning Fengzhi, "that Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast."

"It's actually a soul beast!" Ning Rongrong was surprised again.

Ning Fengzhi and his two companions were also quite surprised. What was wrong with Tang Hao and his son? Why were they getting involved with 100,000-year-old soul beasts one after another?

"I've left a trace of my aura on her to help her conceal her identity," Zhu Wu continued.

"Since we don't need it right now, let Tang Hao and his son take care of it for now."

"Alright." Ning Fengzhi nodded. They didn't need the 100,000-year soul ring at all; only the 100,000-year soul bone was somewhat attractive.

"Also, Tang San's teacher was Yu Xiaogang," Zhu Wu continued, "who has now changed his name to Mu Gang."

"Tang San's martial soul becoming poisonous was Yu Xiaogang's masterpiece."

"Tang Hao didn't stop it?" Sword Douluo exclaimed in surprise.

Using the conflicting poison attribute to cover up the original light attribute of a martial soul—is this something a human could do?

"I suppose they want Tang San to go to the City of Slaughter to train and acquire the God of Slaughter Domain," Zhu Wu guessed.

"Ignorance is truly terrifying," Bone Douluo laughed.

News of the Asura God's death had spread throughout the Soul Master world, yet Tang Hao still believed he could obtain the God of Slaughter Domain from the City of Slaughter. If he wasn't stupid, then Tang Chen hadn't told Tang Hao about the connection between the two back then, and even Tang Chen himself didn't know much about it.

They were able to learn about information related to the divine realm because their predecessors had told them.

"Alright," Zhu Wu continued, "We've discussed enough, it's time for me to leave."

Then, he turned to Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, you'll be joining your sister Yan's team at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy from now on."

Yu Tianheng was also at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, firstly to maintain ties with the Heaven Dou royal family, and secondly to take a roundabout approach, hoping to ease tensions with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. However, because of the Bai family's affair, Dugu Yan harbored extreme resentment towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and therefore decisively rejected Yu Tianheng's application. Consequently, Yu Tianheng had no choice but to settle for second place and join the second team.

They joined with graphite and stone mill, which greatly enhanced the strength of the second team.

Of course, it's still far behind the first team.

Because Ye Lingling is already a Soul Master, while Dugu Yan is about to break through to Soul King, and both of them have inherited his unique skills.

In fact, he taught several families related to him the art of harmony as their inherited skills, and now they are all incredibly powerful.

Even so-called young elites like Yu Tianheng don't rank among them.

"Teacher, will you come to watch the Soul Master Competition?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"Of course," Zhu Wu smiled. "However, it won't be in the VIP section; the teacher doesn't like that kind of occasion."

"The teacher will be watching your performance quietly from the shadows."

Ning Rongrong's expression turned serious. "Teacher, I will definitely not let you down."

Zhu Wu smiled and nodded, "Teacher, we'll be watching!"

As he spoke, he stood up from his seat, looked up at Ning Fengzhi and his two companions, and said, "Let's come back another day."

"Respectfully seeing off, senior." Sword and Bone Douluo quickly stood up and bowed.

Zhu Wu smiled, glanced at Ning Rongrong with an encouraging look, then tore through space and disappeared.

Back in Spirit City, after meeting Bibi Dong, he leisurely stayed at home, watching the drama unfold from a god-like perspective. His third disciple, Bai Yi, was now sensible and had been taught what he needed to. He had joined the Spirit Hall team and was training with Hu Liena and her two companions, so he had plenty of time now.

In this world, it's truly time to retire.

He released his divine sense and moved his gaze, which quickly settled on Tang San and his group.

And the location was the Starry Sky Forest.

Just like in the original world's main storyline, Oscar and Tang San both broke through to level 30. They encountered Meng Yiran again, and Oscar's third soul skill remained unchanged.

Afterwards, Xiao Wu was once again captured by Er Ming, who suddenly appeared. The difference was that her mother, A Rou, also came along, but she did not show herself due to her image.

After witnessing Tang San risk his life to save his daughter, Xiao Wu finally accepted him and decided to let her go back. After all, Xiao Wu had already transformed into a human and needed contact with humans to reach maturity; this was a process she had to go through.

Just as Xiao Wu was returning after condensing her third soul ring, Zhu Wu had a thought and activated the aura he had left behind.

After some time, Xiao Wu returned to the Shrek Academy team.

"Hmm? The aura of the soul beast has disappeared!" Tang Hao, hiding in the shadows, looked surprised.

My first thought was that it was the Titan Ape that had taken Xiao Wu away, and most likely, it had found some kind of herb that could conceal its presence, which it had brought for Xiao Wu to eat. When the Titan Ape first appeared, it went straight for Xiao Wu, and I guessed then that it was there to find her, so I didn't attack, but instead followed and protected my son Tang San. Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

With the aura of the soul beast concealed and no longer a concern about being exposed, he was completely relieved.

A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes as she turned to look at her son, Tang San, who was absorbing the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Zhu Wu observed quietly, and then smiled.

The spirit ring was successfully absorbed.

But the Eight Spider Lances are gone!

Clearly, without the blessing of destiny, Tang San's good fortune has come to an end.

Without the Eight Spider Lances, without the Immortal Herb, and with his Martial Soul now possessing a poison attribute, he could already foresee what the Soul Master Competition would bring.

I'm kind of looking forward to it!

Upon seeing Tang Sansu wake up, Xiao Wu's worried expression disappeared, replaced by excitement. She immediately ran forward and hugged him.

"Third Brother!"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar immediately looked at Tang San with meaningful glances.

Ma Hongjun became even more sarcastic, calling out in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Third Brother."

Xiao Wu blushed instantly and hurriedly withdrew from his embrace.

"Wow, you're amazing! You managed to absorb a two-thousand-year-old spirit ring!" Oscar gave a thumbs up.
