Chapter 246 The Unlucky Wind Baboon, Attempting to Reach His Ambition

"Where's the other woman? Has he seen you?"

Hurriedly catching up with Tang Hao, Old Jack continued to nag, "I'm not trying to criticize you, Tang Hao, but you're not a child anymore. How could you just leave Xiao San all alone? He was just a kid back then."

"Do you know...?"

"Shut up."

Tang Hao was getting annoyed by his noise, so he stopped, turned around, and glared at him. His fierce expression left Old Jack speechless for a moment.

"That's my son. How I treat him is none of your business. Besides, calling him Tang San, what right do you have to call him 'Little San'? Let me tell you, he's not going back to Holy Soul Village. You might as well give up."

After saying that, he ignored the stunned old Jack and strode away.

After a long while, old Jack finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at the empty space ahead, he muttered to himself, "Impossible, it must be a joke. Xiao San is such a good kid, he'll definitely come back."

"Well, Tang Hao's words don't count."

Old Jack mustered his spirits and headed home. Whether he was comforting himself or truly thinking that way, no one but himself knew.

Tang Hao felt better after getting rid of that annoying old Jack.

He walked into the mountains and forests, intending to search again. It was Ah Yin's relic, a 100,000-year-old soul bone, left to him and his son.

The fact that soul beasts cannot absorb soul bones was his last psychological comfort.

As for the Spirit Hall patrol personnel, Tang Hao didn't take them seriously at all. If he didn't want to, those people wouldn't be able to find him at all.

After searching the mountains and forests near Holy Soul Village for two whole days, Tang Hao became increasingly silent; he found nothing.

Even in the mountains and forests surrounding Holy Soul Village, only some Soft Bone Rabbits can be considered soul beasts. Let alone soul bones, he didn't even find any wind baboons.

After sitting on a rock for a long time, Tang Hao stood up, took a deep breath, and headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ah Yin is no longer here, but it's almost certain that the problem with Xiao San's martial soul is related to this.

He had never been to the Blue Silver Forest, but he had heard about it from Ah Yin. He recalled Ah Yin's telepathic message to him at the last moment of her sacrifice, saying that if Tang San inherited the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, he should take Tang San to the Blue Silver Forest at the right time, as it would be of great help to him.

Now, Tang Hao can only pin his hopes on this. He went there to confirm the location first, and it wouldn't be too late to bring his mistress after he found it.

Then, he started wandering around the Star Dou Great Forest again, unable to find the Blue Silver Forest.

He was a little confused. How come he couldn't find such a huge Blue Silver Forest?

Could Ah Yin be lying to him? That's impossible.

Don't think Ah Yin would lie to him. Even without Ah Yin, there is indeed a forest here. However, because there are not many soul beasts in it, it is not well-known, but he still knows about it.

Unconvinced, Tang Hao searched for three more days, but no matter how he marked the area, including approaching from the air, he still couldn't find the Blue Silver Forest.

Finally, covered in blood and with a gloomy expression, he left the Star Dou Great Forest.

The blood on his body belonged to the Wind Baboon clan; he had wiped out a small gathering place of soul beasts.

If he can't find the Blue Silver Forest, he'll have to go back and figure out how to deal with his mistress first. This time, he'll just consider it collecting some interest.

Such inherently evil spirit beasts should not exist. One day, he will kill them all to comfort Ah Yin's spirit in heaven.

Meanwhile, Han Li and Zhu Zhuqing had already returned to Tiandou City.

At the same time, he also received news from Wuhun City that the organization had decided that he would be the highest-ranking person in charge of the Tiandou Division in the Soul Master Competition six months later.

Han Li was not surprised when he heard the news. He just smiled and agreed, and then assigned all the work to Salas.

This is a job he's familiar with. How could a holy son do the work himself, right?

And look how happy Salas is!

The fact that His Highness entrusted him with such a task is enough to demonstrate how highly His Highness values ​​him.

As for Han Li himself, he certainly had more important things to do, such as cultivation.

A few days later, Tang Hao reappeared in Tiandou City, looking travel-worn.

As for how to solve Tang San's martial soul problem, Tang Hao didn't say, and Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to ask.

However, seeing that Tang Hao often left early and returned late, his expression grew increasingly grim.

He could only grit his teeth and go to see Tang San again and again, trying his best to maintain the increasingly distant master-disciple relationship.

Several times, he couldn't help but suggest that Tang San try bone replacement like him.

Tang Hao was right beside him, and he knew the solution, but he hadn't made a decision yet. Thinking of Tang Hao's cruelty, he chose to remain silent, but his anxiety grew day by day.

It is worth mentioning that after Tang Hao returned, he overheard Tang San and Xiao Wu's conversation when he went to cover Xiao Wu's breath.

The two were still troubled by Tailong's entanglement, and the number of people the academy added to the second team was really weak. Most importantly, he was a fool who only cared about Ning Rongrong.

Upon hearing the news, Tang Hao quietly left.

Three days later, news came that Tailong, the original main student of Blue Tyrant Academy, had voluntarily withdrawn from the team and then transferred to Royal Heavenly Fighting Academy.

The news caused an instant sensation.

Tailong also changed his previous attitude, joining the second team with a face still bearing obvious handprints, and treating Tang San and Xiao Wu with great respect.

Liu Erlong was so angry that he was about to attack the academy, but after Flander intervened and said something to him, he left in silence, much to the disappointment of the crowd who wanted to watch the show.

At this time, there was less than a month left before the Soul Master Competition.

Yu Xiaogang had trouble sleeping, and the closer the Soul Master Competition got, the worse his insomnia became.

Even though Tang San had focused all his attention on cultivation after losing the support of the simulated environment, and the conditions and resources for cultivation were much better than before, he still only managed to break through to level 37 half a month ago.

At level 37, Yu Xiaogang's smile was somewhat bitter.

Tang San's cultivation speed is already very fast, but his innate conditions for his martial soul are still insufficient. In addition, he is still too young and does not have any strong teammates. Is he destined to play a supporting role in this Soul Master Competition?

He was somewhat unwilling, because he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his martial soul, and his relationship with Tang San had already reached a freezing point.

This Soul Master Competition is alright; as long as Tang San shines bright enough, he'll definitely benefit from it.

Given the current situation, let's not even talk about whether Tang San will participate in the next Soul Master Competition. Even if he does, it's highly likely that it won't have much to do with him.

Now he's even lost his position as a teaching assistant at the academy. Will the academy and Tang Hao really continue to let him have contact with Tang San?

Just then, his door was suddenly pushed open.

Tang Hao, still reeking of blood, appeared before him.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Yu Xiaogang was startled and shrank into the corner of the bed, looking somewhat timidly at the center of the room.

Tang Hao glanced at him indifferently, took out a bloodstained object from his pocket, and threw it onto his bed.

"Soul bone, a thousand-year-old soul bone from the Wind Baboon, from its left arm, I absorbed it."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the thing on the bed with burning eyes. Ignoring the bloodstains on it, he pounced on it like a vicious dog, picked it up in his hands, and examined it carefully.

Tang Hao looked at his performance and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Stop dawdling, absorb it quickly."

Yu Xiaogang was startled awake by his voice. He glanced at Tang Hao, then at the soul bone in his hand that only resembled half an arm, but didn't pay any attention to his attitude.

To him, even a broken, poorly preserved thousand-year-old soul bone was precious enough.

He quickly changed into a cross-legged sitting posture, afraid that Tang Hao would change his mind, and stuck the soul bone to his left arm.

Tang Hao, standing in the center of the house, looked at the soul bone that was gradually disappearing into Yu Xiaogang's body, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Now, there are no problems.

For the past six months, he had tried all sorts of methods, but he could not find a way to solve the problem of Tang San's martial soul being rejected by the Blue Silver Grass. In the end, he could only turn his attention to the bone-changing method proposed by Yu Xiaogang.

He leaves early and returns late, sometimes even disappearing for days on end, because he is constantly searching for suitable soul beasts in the Sunset Forest. Of course, he hasn't forgotten to seek revenge on the Wind Baboon.

Tang Hao still had one last question about Yu Xiaogang's bone-changing method: would the bone-changing process affect the absorption of subsequent soul bones?

If it would have any impact, no matter how much he wanted to fulfill Tang San's wish, he would definitely not let his son do it.

Therefore, he was also constantly hoping to find a soul bone, regardless of its quality or age, as long as Yu Xiaogang could be used for confirmation.

But being all alone, how could he easily obtain a soul bone? He could only keep killing soul beasts. Finally, after torturing and killing a wind baboon tonight, he had given up hope, but he unexpectedly obtained a thousand-year-old soul bone.

He rushed back, hoping to get confirmation from Yu Xiaogang.

Sure enough, everything worked out, and he finally felt relieved.

In Yu Xiaogang's bone-changing plan, the bones are physical entities. While the soul bones are also physical entities on the surface, the essence is that the energy within them is attached to the original bones, thereby strengthening, amplifying, and changing them. It is not a simple replacement.

There is still a month until the Soul Master Competition, and the entire competition, culminating in the final, will take a considerable amount of time.

If we consider Yu Xiaogang's improvement, it would be enough for the mistress to increase her strength to a certain extent.

As for the matter of the Martial Soul, once he has achieved a decent result, Tang Hao plans to take him back to the Clear Sky Sect. With the already mature Bone Transformation Technique, he is not afraid of those people not supporting him, and he will definitely be able to resolve the issue.

Watching Yu Xiaogang absorb the soul bone, Tang Hao's eyes flickered in the darkness, already planning for the future.
