In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"So what exactly do you want?" Tang Ritian looked troubled. Although he was a titled Douluo, he was actually incredibly poor. He really had nothing to give the other party.

"I've already said, the key isn't what I want, but what you can give me." Lan Si shrugged slightly, a sly smile suddenly appearing on his lips. "I heard from Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that the reason you're called the Haotian Douluo is because you've mastered a unique technique called 'Ring Explosion.' If you can teach me, I might be able to help you win that 100,000-year-old soul bone. Of course, that's on the condition that I can defeat the Spirit Hall's students..."

Before Lan Si could finish speaking, Tang Ritian decisively refused, "No way. First of all, this cultivation method has extremely high requirements for the user. The Clear Sky Sect can only pass it on to one person per generation. You haven't inherited the Clear Sky Sect's martial soul, so how can you use this secret technique? Moreover, even if you awaken the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, I will not teach it to anyone, including my son, without the joint permission of the current sect leader and elders of the Clear Sky Sect."

In reality, even if Lan Si awakened the Clear Sky Hammer and gained the approval of the current sect leader and elders of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao would not pass it on to him. This is because he already has a chosen successor for the Clear Sky Douluo: his son, Tang San.

Once his son cultivates his second martial soul and learns the Clear Sky Secret Technique, he doesn't believe Lan Si will still be a match for his son. This is also why he doesn't harbor the same hatred towards Lan Si as the Shrek Seven Devils. On one hand, Lan Si comes from the Clear Sky Sect; on the other hand, talent determines one's potential. No matter how outstanding Lan Si's talent is, his future achievements can never surpass those of his son Tang San, who possesses twin martial souls.

"Then let's go with the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian." Lan Si curled his lips, showing no surprise whatsoever. If Tang Ritian could teach it, he wouldn't be Tang Ritian.

"Still no good. This is the Haotian Sect's true ultimate technique, second only to the Exploding Rings. It's a powerful ability that can be truly applied in actual combat. Even among the direct disciples of the Haotian Sect, not everyone can receive the Nine Ultimate Techniques. Only with the joint approval of the Sect Master and Elders can it be taught." Tang Ritian still refused.

"You won't teach me this, you won't teach me that, then what else can you teach me? A 100,000-year-old soul bone, and you think you can get something for nothing?" Lan Si was somewhat annoyed.

Tang Ritian pondered for a moment and said, "I can teach you the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique." This is just a very common combo forging technique of the Haotian Sect, and it is a compulsory course for almost every Haotian Sect disciple. There is nothing wrong with teaching it to Lan Si.

"Is this what you're talking about?" Lan Si curled his lip in disdain, rapidly wielding the Azure Lotus Sword in his hand. He unleashed eighty-one sword strikes in one fluid motion. The moment he unleashed the eighty-first strike, a massive dragon-shaped sword aura burst forth, instantly shattering a giant round stone nearly three meters in diameter beside Tang Ritian.

A thunderous sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, carrying far and wide.

"Nine times nine equals one, this... how is this possible..." Tang Ritian's eyes widened. Even within the Haotian Sect, aside from the sect leader and elders, very few could accomplish this. And Lan Si had actually figured it out on his own without any guidance; it was truly unbelievable.

"Nothing is impossible. Just observe a few more times and you'll learn it," Lan Si said calmly. More than a year ago, when he had just broken through the bottleneck of the level 40 Soul Master, he was already able to swing the hammer up to the forty-eighth time. Now, after more than a year of hard training, using the method that Tang Ritian taught Tang San under the waterfall in the original work, he had already mastered the maximum of eighty-one hammer strikes.

He had only used the Azure Lotus Sword to unleash it just now; if he had used his second martial soul, the Haotian Bamboo Shoot, its power would have been even greater.

"Alright, it seems you have nothing more to teach me. We've already wasted so much time, the convoy should be quite far ahead by now, and I don't want my girlfriend to worry. As for that 100,000-year-old soul bone, you'll have to figure that out yourself. Isn't your precious son also participating in the competition? And he's a Twin Spirit Hall academy member at that. If you add four soul rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, Shrek Academy's chances of defeating Spirit Hall Academy might be even greater than mine. After all, no matter how powerful I am, I'm still just one person." As he spoke, Lan Si turned and leaped down the mountainside, then chased after the convoy without looking back.

Watching Lan Si's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Tang Ritian was slightly lost in thought. While feeling regret that Lan Si's talent was so terrifying but he hadn't awakened the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, he seemed to have made up his mind and murmured, "Now that things have come to this, it seems that this is the only way."

In fact, he didn't believe that Lan Si alone could defeat the entire Spirit Hall team.

The reason he came to Lan Si was simply to seek insurance.

Rather than making a request, it was more like a test and probing of Lan Si.

As a result, before he could even open his mouth, Lan Si began to berate him repeatedly, defending the Haotian Sect in every way and showing great hatred for him as a sinner of the Haotian Sect.

This trip was worthwhile.

Chapter 302 Tang San's Repeated Setbacks (A Long Chapter of 10,000 Words)

Starry Sky Forest.

Meanwhile, in a spacious and bright courtyard of the Crown Prince's residence.

Lan Si was leisurely peeling melon seeds for Qian Renxue.

At this time, Qian Renxue was almost two months pregnant, and her lower abdomen was slightly swollen. In recent days, Lan Si had taken meticulous care of her.

The kitten walked in from outside the courtyard gate and said to Qian Renxue and Lan Si, "A Si, Sister Xue'er, Tang San has returned to Tian Dou City and met with the old poison master. As you requested, the shop owner served them a pot of rabbit meat. As a result, they ate it all up."

Qian Renxue smiled at Lan Si and said, "You actually gave it to Tang San to eat? That's so mean! If Tang San knew he ate that old rabbit, he'd be furious."

"Then we can just let him know later. I'll pick out a pregnant female rabbit for him later." Lan Si peeled a melon seed and put it into Qian Renxue's mouth.

Upon hearing this, the kitten opposite her twitched its lips and sat down next to Lan Si, saying incredulously, "A Si, the rabbit that Tang San and the old poison master ate, could it be Xiao Wu's real body?"

Lan Si nodded slowly, "Smart."

As he spoke, Lan Si put his arm around the kitten's waist and kissed her on the pretty face.

Looking at the kitten being held in Lan Si's arms, a hint of jealousy flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She rolled her eyes and changed the subject, asking, "What are you planning to do next?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Si narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Give Emperor Xue Ye a slightly larger dose, then lure Tang San in to detoxify. Let them go in and detoxify once first, and then I will disguise myself as Tang San and go with Dugu Bo to detoxify. At that time, Tang San and Dugu Bo will be the murderers who killed Emperor Xue Ye, while Xue Xing and Xue Beng will be the masterminds."

Shrek Academy.

Because of Shrek Academy's infamous reputation in the previous Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, it was not valued by the Heaven Dou Royal Family and remained empty and deserted.

Only Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the remaining five Shrek Academy extras were on the playground, receiving gravity running training from Zhao Wuji under Yu Xiaogang's 'guidance'.

Good romance novels

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun have fully recovered from their injuries. Although they ultimately couldn't save their lower bodies, they have regained their health under the healing light of Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures True Body. However, Shrek Academy now has two more eunuchs after Yu Xiaogang.

"teacher."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone stopped what they were doing. Even Yu Xiaogang, whose face was extremely gloomy because her entire family had been wiped out, turned around in surprise and looked in the direction from which the voice came. There she saw Tang San walking towards her, looking travel-worn.

"Xiao San, you're back." Seeing her prized disciple return, Yu Xiaogang felt a little better and forced a smile, "Where's Xiao Wu? Didn't she come back with you?"

"Xiao Wu will never come back." Tang San lowered his head, his disheveled hair hanging down freely, his eyes obscured by shadows.

"What exactly happened? What happened?" Liu Erlong's eyes reddened as she stepped forward, grabbed Tang San's hand, and asked excitedly.

Xiao Wu was her goddaughter. Since the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan was wiped out, besides the self-castrated Yu Xiaogang, Xiao Wu was her only remaining family. Now even she...

Thinking of this, Liu Erlong could no longer stop her tears from flowing.

"Erlong, don't get agitated. Let's hear what Xiaosan has to say first." Yu Xiaogang helped Liu Erlong up, looking at Tang San with some anticipation. He hoped that Xiaowu would offer her soul ring and soul bone to him, the disciple on whom she had placed high hopes, before she died.

Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji, Ma Hongjun and others also gathered around.

"It was Tang Ritian. So he also possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and he was very likely a twin martial soul user. He disguised himself as me, led a large group of people, and staged a self-inflicted injury ruse to trick Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself for him." Tang San's face was filled with hatred as he gritted his teeth and said.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room was shocked. Ning Rongrong shook her head violently, her voice trembling, "No, this is absolutely impossible... Brother Tang Ritian is definitely not that kind of person." She couldn't believe that the perfect man in her eyes, the one she longed for but could never have, would do such a heinous thing.

"This is what I, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Azure Bull Python witnessed with our own eyes. There's absolutely no way it could be fake." As he spoke, Tang San repeated what he had told Dugu Bo.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Yu Xiaogang's shoulders trembled slightly. He wasn't lamenting Xiao Wu's death, but rather angry that Xiao Wu's sacrifice wasn't to his disciple, Tang San.

Liu Erlong was already sobbing uncontrollably. She truly regarded Xiao Wu as her own daughter. In order to wait for Yu Xiaogang, she never married and had no children. After Yu Xiaogang castrated himself, she lost all possibility of having children. Now that she finally had a goddaughter, she had also died. How could she not be heartbroken and sad?

"Tang Ritian! Give me back my daughter's life!" With a roar, Liu Erlong turned and left.

Tang San hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Erlong, saying, "Teacher Erlong, even the old poison master is no match for Tang Ritian. We must reconsider our strategy."

“Yes, Erlong, Xiaosan is right. We need to discuss this matter further.” Yu Xiaogang also stepped forward and grabbed Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong flung them away, almost roaring, "Get out of my way, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San! Are you two even men? If you're men, come with me to find that damned Tang Ritian. Avenge my poor goddaughter! And Tang San, didn't you just say you were going to find Xiao Wu's original body and revive her? Just because Tang Ritian has strength comparable to a Title Douluo, you're scared? You coward, you wimp..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned at the same time, and their gazes turned to Yu Xiaogang. Even Tang San couldn't help but twitch his lips. Strictly speaking, Yu Xiaogang could no longer be considered a man.

"You...you're being unreasonable." Under everyone's gaze, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned bright red. She turned her face away and said coquettishly.

"Ahem..." Tang San coughed lightly, his expression also not very good. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Teacher Erlong, I came here to find help. With the strength of the few of us, we are simply not enough to threaten Tang Ritian. What's more, he possesses an extremely magical spatial soul skill that allows him to escape to a very far place in an instant. We must plan carefully to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Liu Erlong wiped away her tears.

Tang San turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, is your father still alive? I'd like to talk to Uncle Ning."

Hearing this, everyone guessed what was going on. Tang San wanted to ask Ning Rongrong's father to send his subordinate, Sword Bone Douluo, to help.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, considering Tang Ritian's past heartlessness, bit her red lips tightly, wiped away her tears, and turned to walk towards Ning Fengzhi's residence: "Come with me."

A short while later, Tang San followed Ning Rongrong to a small courtyard. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's castle had been completely destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. Ning Fengzhi was preparing to select a new location for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The location was within Heaven Dou City. Sword Bone Douluo was also present.

Upon seeing Tang San arrive, Ning Fengzhi politely invited him to sit down. When he learned from Tang San that Tang Ritian had tricked Xiao Wu into sacrificing herself and obtained an unprecedented 100,000-year seventh ring and 100,000-year soul bone, even Poison Douluo admitted that he was no match for Tang Ritian.

Ning Fengzhi fell silent, Bone Douluo fell silent, and Sword Douluo also fell silent. They realized that the young man who had once been highly regarded by them at Yuexuan, and who they even wanted to invite to marry into their family, seemed to have grown to the point where he was no longer under their control.

Normally, Ning Fengzhi would have followed his usual strategy: since the other party didn't have a particularly strong background, if he couldn't get it, he would destroy it, and that way he could actually get a 100,000-year-old soul bone.

But times have changed.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has completely declined.

A single move can have far-reaching consequences. Although Tang Ritian has been missing for several years, he still has close ties with Lan Si and his disciple Xue Qinghe. Lan Si, needless to say, possesses a twin martial soul talent that is unparalleled throughout history, far surpassing the current value of Tang San. Now, it seems he is about to return. Furthermore, he promised to take Ning Rongrong as his disciple if she wished, and would also obtain the Qiluo Tulip from Tang Ritian for them. Now that he has attacked Tang Ritian, how will Lan Si feel?

There is also Xueqing River.

The Xue Qinghe mentioned by Tang San is very likely the real culprit who killed the two deceased princes of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even Prince Xue Xing could see this. How could he, an old and shrewd man, not know it?

Knowing is one thing, but how to do it is another.

If I had to choose between the Snow River and an avalanche...

He undoubtedly hoped that Xue Qinghe would ascend to the throne.

Even if Xue Qinghe secretly harmed his brothers, they were still his disciples in name only, a fact that could never be shaken off.

As for Xue Beng. Regardless of whether his playboy persona was feigned or not, it's certain that the other party and Prince Xue Xing had a grudge against his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If Xue Beng were to become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, would his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still have any good days ahead?

He wouldn't do something so unprofitable as to offend Lan Si, Xue Qinghe, and Tang Ritian at the same time, just for Tang San, who had almost ruined his twin martial souls, and a dead rabbit.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi first deliberately showed a heartbroken expression, then shook his head and sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, Xiao San, I can't help you with this."

"Why, Uncle Ning? Don't you hate that Tang Ritian for taking away the Qiluo Tulip that should have belonged to Rongrong?" Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted out because he was too excited and could not control his emotions.

"This isn't about whether it's a divine herb or not." Ning Fengzhi picked up the fragrant tea on the table, frowned, and took a sip. He suddenly realized that this guy seemed to take himself too seriously, as if the whole world owed him something. He said calmly, "Little Third, you should know by now that things are different now. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is no longer the same as it used to be. His Majesty's health is deteriorating day by day, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is about to ascend the throne, and Tang Ritian is on good terms with Xue Qinghe. If we attack Tang Ritian, how will my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School face once Xue Qinghe ascends the throne?"

Tang San seemed to think he had grasped the key point of the problem, "So, as long as Xue Qinghe can't ascend to the throne, Uncle Ning can step in to help, right?"

As he spoke, without waiting for Ning Fengzhi's response, he turned and stepped out of the courtyard.

Watching Tang San's departing figure, Bone Douluo asked Ning Fengzhi with some surprise, "Fengzhi, has this kid gone mad?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile and murmured, "I hope this kid doesn't do anything stupid. He's already infamous in the Douluo Continent. If he does something extremely foolish again, I'm afraid there will be no place for him anywhere in the entire continent."

At this point, Ning Fengzhi instructed Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, Tang San's mental state seems a bit abnormal. Don't get too close to him these days. When you have time, go to the antique market more often. The sect is about to be rebuilt and needs a lot of funds. I will have Uncle Gu protect you in secret."

"I understand," Ning Rongrong said, somewhat disappointed.

.............

After leaving Shrek Academy, Tang San went directly to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo then led him to Snow Star and Avalanche.

After learning that the person before them was indeed Tang San from before, and that he could cure the deadly poison that had afflicted Emperor Xue Ye, the two put aside their differences and treated each other with courtesy.

"How is His Majesty's condition now?" Tang San asked Prince Xue Xing.

Prince Xuexing sighed softly, "The situation is not optimistic. Ever since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School were destroyed, my brother has been bedridden. Now... alas, according to what Mr. Dugu Bo has said, my brother is very likely to have been poisoned by a mixed, chronic poison. We should hurry into the palace to detoxify my brother."

As he spoke, Prince Xuexing turned to walk out the door.

"Wait..." Tang San called out to him, "I have a condition."

"Tell me, as long as you can cure my brother's poison, I will agree to any conditions." Prince Xuexing was taken aback, then said confidently.

"After exposing Xue Qinghe's conspiracy, I plan to build a force to fight against the Spirit Hall. I hope to receive funding from the royal family. In addition, I hope the royal family can send troops to besiege Tang Ritian. Also, kill Lan Si," Tang San said calmly.
