Chapter 248 Xiao Wu: Brother, you smell so good

Just as Tang Hao and his group were carrying out their "bone-changing plan" in full swing, Yu Xiaogang approached Tang San to persuade him.

In the mansion belonging to the Chamber of Commerce in Tiandou City.

Han Li was standing by the training ground, watching as the women, without using their soul skills, attacked the blonde woman in the middle who had revealed her true face, using their improved soul skills.

After a flurry of blows, Qian Renxue was struck out by Xiu'er's palm.

"Forget it, I'm not playing anymore. I can't win in this situation."

Qian Renxue released the angelic holy sword she had formed, waved her hand to signal to stop, and walked towards Han Li.

She sat down in the chair next to him, picked up the teacup on the table, tilted her snow-white swan neck back, and brought it to her mouth.

People with high looks do look good no matter what they do.

Han Li withdrew his admiring gaze and said with a smile, "It's normal that you can't win. If you can win even this, what's the point of me training you? You're already very good."

He was too embarrassed to say that if they didn't use their soul power and simply relied on skill and physical strength, Qian Renxue was actually quite weak.

Xiuer and her two companions fought their way out of the City of Slaughter; if they didn't hold back, Qian Renxue might not even be able to win in a one-on-one fight.

She could only bully Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing, this pair of noobs who hadn't trained for very long.

"Yes, you have a point."

Qian Renxue nodded. She could tell that the others had gone easy on her, which was why she had ended the fight on her own initiative.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I don't believe you're here to find someone to train with."

Han Li proactively changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue also put away her playful expression.

"I'm here mainly to confirm with you when you'll be showing up, and whether we need to make any arrangements."

"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Han Li, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, are very close friends, so this matter naturally falls to me."

Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly. She was also busy cultivating, but it was really hard to refuse this kind of work.

"A symbolic invitation to Salas will suffice; no need for any decorations. I don't like trouble. If we make a big fuss, we'll be the only ones who suffer."

Han Li also strongly disliked this approach and decisively refused.

"Alright, let's keep it simple then. I'm too lazy to do anything else anyway."

Qian Renxue readily agreed. The changing situation in the Tiandou Empire, coupled with her increased contact with Han Li, had somewhat influenced her attitude.

Han Li even had a wicked idea: to turn Qian Renxue into a Gabriel version, someone who would pull out a horn at any moment, blow it, and launch a plan to destroy the continent. That would definitely be awesome.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?"

Qian Renxue waved her hand in front of Han Li's face. This guy always gets distracted when he talks to her.

"It's nothing."

Han Li smiled and decisively gave up on making fun of her.

"By the way, when do you plan to officially take over?"

Turning his head, Han Li looked intently at Qian Renxue, wanting to know what she had been dawdling about.

"When the Soul Master Competition ends, although many people have made their guesses, Xue Qinghe still needs proof that he was not present, so that the conflict will be minimized."

"Moreover, I also need to take this opportunity to go back and prepare more manpower."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, her emotions inexplicably complicated. She didn't know if it was because the plan was over or because she was going to return to Wuhun City to see some people again.

"As long as you're prepared."

Han Li also seemed to realize something, so he didn't discuss the matter further.

"Give me a few of those pendants that can change your appearance and conceal your aura. I'll return them to you when I'm done using them. Once we succeed, you can choose whatever you want from the treasure vault."

Qian Renxue looked at Han Li somewhat embarrassedly; this was actually her main purpose for coming today. She herself didn't need it, but having this item would make her subsequent plans much smoother.

"Alright, that explains why you came in person."

Han Li chuckled. So that's where she was waiting for him. But he didn't refuse. He took out a few spare pendants from his wristband and handed them to Qian Renxue without saying anything.

The Heavenly Dou royal family's treasury held no appeal for him now. He had already scanned it, and even the soul bones were only a few thousand years old, and their quality wasn't very good.

If there were really good stuff, he would have had Qian Renxue buy it at rock-bottom prices long ago; there's no way it would have been left until now.

Thanks.

Qian Renxue took the pendant, put it away, and sincerely thanked her.

"You're welcome."

After finishing their business, Qian Renxue showed no intention of leaving. She had taken the opportunity to slip away and brought the other women over with her, and they began to chat casually.

With the Soul Master Competition about to begin, Soul Masters of the same generation have been emerging one after another recently. Although they don't care about each other's strength, they are still very interested in gossip and commentary.

Well, this can be considered her building relationships with her future subordinates in advance, so it doesn't count as slacking off.

Han Li watched with a smile, occasionally interjecting, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang finally persuaded Tang San.

At first, Tang San refused; he was genuinely averse to the idea of ​​damaging his own body.

But just as Yu Xiaogang mentioned that as long as he achieved good results, he could see Tang Hao again, he hesitated.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiaogang performed a spirit possession in front of him, revealing a spirit power aura comparable to his own, and explained the enhancement he gained from the bone transformation. He also brought up Tang Hao's explanation of the strengthening of the Clear Sky Hammer, which made Tang San's heart flutter.

To be honest, he has been constantly questioning himself lately whether he should really give up Blue Silver Grass and switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer.

Yu Xiaogang's words became the final straw that broke the camel's back, helping him make the decision.

Let's do it this way for now, increase our strength, and when we see our father, he will ask about switching to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Seeing that Tang San had agreed, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not mention that he could try to obtain the method of cultivating twin martial souls from Bibi Dong.

Tang San is manageable, but the key is Tang Hao. After spending so much time with him, Yu Xiaogang has come to understand that he must hold back when facing Tang Hao.

This is something so important; it might just become his life-saving talisman at any time.

"Then go back and ask for leave, and it's best not to mention me. Here's the address; I'll go back and prepare, and you can come over later."

Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San the address written on the paper, not daring to be too specific.

He was just a messenger; he had to hurry back to inform Tang Hao. He hadn't seen any soul beasts or healing soul masters when he left. With the Soul Master Competition imminent, the faster he could act, the better.

"it is good."

Tang San took the paper, glanced at it, and then put it away. He was very familiar with the address on it and didn't need to follow the map.

Tang San's eyes flickered as he watched Yu Xiaogang turn and leave.

There have been so many strange things happening lately, but they're probably well-intentioned.

He is no longer the Tang San who was completely clueless about the world when he was at Notting Academy.

From the moment Tyrone transferred schools, he sensed something was amiss. To address this, he deliberately avoided everyone and went to the academy library to research information.

The records of the Power Clan, the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang Hao were all challenging his original understanding.

In the pavilion, a small, jet-black hammer appeared in his left hand, and Tang San smiled.

He actually knew everything; this martial soul is the best proof of that.

And what about the King Kong baboon? With the teacher's abilities, how could he possibly obtain it? If he could, he would have replaced it himself long ago.

Therefore, there is only one truth: this was Tang Hao's intention, and his father has returned to his side.

But because of what happened before, he could only hide in the shadows. This Soul Master Competition was his father's test for him. As long as he could meet the requirements, his father would appear in front of him.

Like brothers fighting tigers, like fathers and sons going to war, this will be the beginning of their revenge against the Spirit Hall.

No wonder he didn't like the Spirit Hall from a very young age; it was because they had a grudge against each other, a bloodline inherited from father to son.

Tang San sorted out his thoughts, quickly returned to the academy, told Xiao Wu that he was going into seclusion, and then secretly left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, heading towards Heaven Dou City.

Meanwhile, at Yu Xiaogang's residence, Tang Hao retrieved the carcass of the King Kong Baboon that he had hunted down the day before, and the healing Soul Master provided by the Power Clan was already in place.

Soon after, Tang San appeared in the house, while Tang Hao once again disappeared into the shadows.

After checking the freshness of the King Kong baboon's corpse, Tang San once again confirmed his guess in his heart.

Then, he refused Yu Xiaogang's help and took charge of designing the plan himself.

Watching Tang San's incredibly skillful movements, Tang Hao, who was secretly observing, kept nodding in approval.

As expected of my son, he mastered the secret technique of bone transformation with just a simple, secret observation.

With such performance, the title of discoverer is all the more fitting for him.

The whole process went exceptionally smoothly, unlike Yu Xiaogang, because he could guess that Tang Hao was hiding in the shadows, and Tang San also discovered the mark of the Power Clan on the healing soul master's pouch.

He opted for a one-step solution, replacing all four limbs in one go.

If he hadn't still been somewhat skeptical of healing soul masters' abilities, he would have even planned to replace the bones in his ribcage.

Even so, Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang greatly admired his decisiveness.

Han Li, who had just seen Qian Renxue off, also entered the spiritual world and turned his surprised gaze to Tang San.

There had been no movement for so long, and considering Tang San's past and present lives, he originally thought he wouldn't do such a thing.

Well, why worry about so much? Han Li activated the rules and accepted this unexpected gift with a smile. It seems that Lingling can be strengthened a bit more. He'll collect it all when he sends her back to the academy later.

After receiving meticulous treatment, Tang San felt the changes in himself and nodded in satisfaction.

Most importantly, he was pleasantly surprised to find that after the bone transformation, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul no longer seemed to be rejected. Could there be better news than this?

Upon learning of Tang San's transformation, Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao were overjoyed; this was truly wonderful.

However, Tang San then declined Yu Xiaogang's offer to celebrate with him, as he had to return to the academy to avoid worrying Xiao Wu. He had used the excuse of seclusion when he came out.

In high spirits, Tang San bid farewell to Yu Xiaogang. Feeling the changes in his body and his soul power, which had already reached level 39 but was still rising, he couldn't help but clench his fist. There was still a month left for him to improve and break through to the Soul Master level. This was just the beginning!

And so he walked toward his room, and unsurprisingly, he encountered Xiao Wu at the door, who was placing a food box in front of his door.

"Brother? When did you go out?"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San walking in from outside and asked in surprise.

"I recently broke through to a higher level, so I went out for a walk. Thank you, Xiao Wu."

He took the food box and now he can finish it all.

Then, Tang San saw Xiao Wu staring blankly at him and saying something that left him completely baffled.

"Brother, you smell so good."
