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

Moreover, even if he becomes the Sea God, as long as the Asura God doesn't give up on Tang San, even if he temporarily surpasses Tang San by a thousand times, he still cannot completely kill him.

On the contrary, if he were killed, the Asura God might just be sent to some corner to be resurrected and reincarnated. In that case, Tang San would be even more passive, hiding in the shadows.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to lead Tang San down a path of depravity step by step, until the God of Asura completely abandons Tang San.

As for obtaining the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, he was completely in the mindset of "if I don't want it, neither should you." He was willing to serve as long as he could seize Tang San's opportunity.

"There's a great opportunity right now. You only showed the fourth level of the Ten Thousand Years Soul Ring, instantly defeating the Shrek Seven Devils. He wants to bestow upon you the title of Marquis. If you win the Soul Master Competition single-handedly, I, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, will petition that old man to bestow upon you the title of King, and even present the national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, as a token. I think that old man would probably be willing to reluctantly part with it in order to win you over. That's why I said you were right not to accept his reward this time," Qian Renxue said with a light laugh.

Lan Si suddenly realized, walked to Qian Renxue, activated her Azure Flame Eyes, looked around, and when she saw a waiter in the corridor outside the door, she sighed helplessly, closed her Azure Flame Eyes, stopped what she was doing, and looked at Qian Renxue with deep affection.

"What?" Qian Renxue's pretty face under the mask blushed slightly.

Lan Si sighed, "Xue'er, I've noticed that you're getting smarter and smarter. If someone wasn't coming soon, I would really like to take off your mask and kiss you."

As she spoke, Lan Si sat back down in her original seat.

"Boring." Qian Renxue pouted and turned her gaze to the door.

Crunch!

The door opened in response, and a waiter entered carrying a brocade box, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, this was sent up by the guards of your residence."

The Rivers and Mountains of the Five Dynasties

"Just put it here," Qian Renxue said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the waiter carefully placed the brocade box on the table, bowed, and then left the room.

"Open it and take a look," Qian Renxue said to Lan Si.

"I have to say, Uncle Ci Xue really acted quickly. Shi Nian is a Soul Saint after all, and he finished it in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Lan Si opened the brocade box, and a head soul bone emitting colorful light came into view.

“Of course, how could a Soul Saint like Shi Nian escape an assassination attempt by a Title Douluo?” Qian Renxue picked up the Soul Bone, played with it for a while, and then put it back in its place. “You can put this Soul Bone away for now. Ning Fengzhi is coming over soon. After watching a good show, I’ll bring up the matter of the Distraction Control Technique with him.”

"It's those disgusting political deals again." Lan Si curled his lip, put away the soul bone, and sat back down. Then he heard Qian Renxue say, "I might mention later that you also have the bloodline of the Haotian Sect. What do you think? If you disagree, I won't mention it."

"Whatever. That lousy sect, one day I'll smash them to pieces with a hammer." Lan Si said indifferently.

Soon after, Ning Fengzhi arrived, and as expected, he brought Tang San with him, just like in the original story.

When Ning Fengzhi saw Lan Si was also there, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Tang San, on the other hand, frowned immediately.

Qian Renxue explained to Ning Fengzhi, "Teacher, I just happened to run into A-Si on the street. So I called him over. Coincidentally, what I'm going to talk about today is also related to A-Si."

"Then I'll be watching closely." Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, a look of interest flashing in his eyes.

Qian Renxue nodded slowly, turning her gaze to Tang San, "This must be Brother Tang San, whom Uncle Ning highly praises. Meeting him today, he is indeed extraordinary."

"I dare not accept such praise." The words "extraordinary" sounded jarring to Tang San, and his tone was rather unpleasant.

Ning Fengzhi assumed that Qian Renxue was unaware of Tang San's recent crushing defeat at the hands of Lan Si, and smiled as he smoothed things over, "Little San, let me introduce you. This is Xue Qinghe, the current Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. He just finished dealing with court affairs not long ago, which is why you didn't see him at the Great Soul Arena."

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Tang San realized that he had misunderstood. His tone softened slightly, and he bowed slightly, saying in a humble yet respectful manner, "So, Your Highness, I was a bit presumptuous just now."

Qian Renxue showered Tang San with praise, giving him extremely high marks. Tang San felt a little embarrassed because, whether he wanted to admit it or not, he had indeed been defeated by Lan Si in a one-on-seven battle not long ago, making his reputation as a genius somewhat undeserved.

"Alright, let's sit down and talk. The black tea here is quite good. Although it can't compare to the Yunwu tea exclusively supplied to the royal family, it has its own unique flavor. Xiao San, you should try some too. And Ah Si over there, come and sit down as well." Ning Fengzhi was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Tang San and Qian Renxue had finished chatting, he turned his head to look at Lan Si, who was sitting on the sofa in the corner, and extended an invitation to him.

Lan Si shook his head, showing no intention of getting up, and said calmly, "Thank you for your kind invitation, Sect Leader Ning, but I am just a listener today. Please make yourselves at home."

Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly and did not force her, after all, his daughter had offended someone not long ago, and young people are bound to have some temper.

The three sat down, and Qian Renxue poured fragrant tea for Ning Fengzhi and Tang San.

Tang San picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then put it down. "Brother Xue, I heard from Uncle Ning that you know something about my father, and when I came in just now, you said that my background seems to be related to that guy over there. I wonder if you could tell me?" He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Lan Si.

“Of course.” Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said, “Speaking of which, you and A-Si can be considered half relatives.”

"A relative?" This time it was Ning Fengzhi's turn to be shocked. He couldn't help but ask, "Qinghe, could it be that A-Si also comes from the Clear Sky Sect?" If so, that would be terrifying. The Clear Sky Sect has already produced Tang San, who possesses twin martial souls. If they were to produce an even more terrifying Lan Si, wouldn't that cause chaos? Once they grow up, even the Spirit Hall might not be able to suppress them. This is not something he wants to see.

Qian Renxue kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Yes and no."

"Please speak plainly, Your Highness." Tang San nodded, switching to honorifics. He hadn't expected Lan Si to have this kind of relationship with him.

Qian Renxue said in a deep voice, "I'm sure Brother Tang San and Teacher know about Liu Erlong, the former dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. A-Si's relationship with the Clear Sky Sect is similar to that of Dean Liu Erlong. However, the difference is that over the years, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has given Dean Liu Erlong a lot of support, both openly and secretly, but A-Si is different. A-Si has come up step by step through his own efforts."

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Ning Fengzhi's expression recovered somewhat, even showing a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. Judging from this, it seemed that Lan Si harbored considerable resentment towards the Haotian Sect. Indeed, anyone would feel resentment after being abandoned as a child and left to wander outside.

Qian Renxue continued, "Back then, A-Si's grandmother had a relationship with an inner disciple of the Haotian Sect and became pregnant with A-Si's father. However, because the Haotian Sect pursued the purity of bloodlines, the inner disciple did not agree to marry A-Si's grandmother. Instead, he settled her in a remote mountain village. Later, because A-Si's father's martial soul had not awakened the Haotian Hammer, he did something that angered both heaven and man: completely abandoning them."

"Even if my father was born into the Clear Sky Sect, what does that have to do with him?" Tang San frowned, a bold guess forming in his mind. Surely his father couldn't be that the Clear Sky Sect's inner disciple, Lan Si's grandfather, and he was his uncle.

That would be...so awesome! The thought of Lan Si, who had targeted him time and time again, calling him "uncle" filled him with uncontrollable excitement. If that were the case, he might be able to forgive and forget about Lan Si, considering he was his nephew.

However, the prerequisite is that he has to call himself "uncle" and kneel down to admit his mistake.

Chapter 148 Lan Si vs. Tang San

"Brother Tang San, please don't be in a hurry. What I'm about to say is what I'm about to say." Qian Renxue said, "Your father, as the youngest Title Douluo in the entire continent, has always been my idol. I only heard about him by chance from a royal retainer. It seems that the reason your father retired back then was related to the Spirit Hall."

"How did the Spirit Hall get involved again?" Tang San was very puzzled. Although under Yu Xiaogang's years of relentless teaching, he had long since lost all goodwill towards the Spirit Hall, and even harbored resentment towards it.

However, according to Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, his father was born into the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, and was known as one of the two Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect. Such a powerful being, backed by the number one sect, ended up in a secluded mountain village, working as a pathetic blacksmith, drinking cheap liquor and living a life of debauchery. Even if the Spirit Hall was powerful, could they have driven his father to such a state?

Qian Renxue stopped keeping everyone in suspense and repeated almost everything that had been said in the original work.

From Qian Renxue's words, Tang San gleaned two key points. First, his father's retirement was forced by the Spirit Hall. Second, it seemed that Lan Si's grandfather's death was due to his father's actions, which led to the war between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall. The Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy losses and was forced to close its mountain, ultimately resulting in the death of Lan Si's grandfather.

Tang San's expression was cold as he turned to glare at Lan Si and said, "Is this why you've targeted me time and time again?"

Lan Si sneered: "Your words are laughable. Don't tell me I've never admitted to having any connection with that guy who abandoned his wife and children. You? Are you even worth me targeting? It seems like every time you feel like I'm targeting you, it's because you can't accept defeat during a spirit battle."

"I told you long ago, don't be so arrogant and take yourself too seriously. You always act like it's okay for me to hit you, and it's wrong for you to fight back. Nobody will tolerate your bad habits. Do you think I have to stand in the ring and not fight back, letting you beat me up, before I'm considered not targeting you?"

"Tang San, you are truly disappointing. Just like your shameless self-proclaimed master, Yu Xiaogang. He misleads students all day long. A level 29 piece of trash, his arrogance is as deep as his inferiority complex. I still clearly remember when I got my first spirit ring, he told me to absorb something... yes, absorb a ninety-year-old spirit power sacred tree, to go for the support type. If I had listened to him back then, would I have grown to where I am now?"

"And his so-called ten core theories are utterly ridiculous. I won't even mention that most of them are plagiarized from previous works. He even proposed something like 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters'? According to him, how many people across the continent are stuck at the level of soul master for life because their martial soul talent is too poor, or even unable to cultivate at all? Are they all useless?"

"Since that's the case, I think Yu Xiaogang himself is a piece of trash. He actually has the audacity to spout the ridiculous theory that one cannot break through level 30 before the age of 20, and therefore cannot break through for life. My father's talent may not be that great, but he broke through to Soul Venerable at the age of 24 before he died."

"And do you really think the people around you respect your teacher that much? Calling him a so-called master? If it weren't for you and Flander, would they even bother with Dai Mubai and his group from Shrek Academy?"

After Lan Si finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting to the side, also looked surprised. He did not expect that Lan Si had such a grudge with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San and his disciples.

But this is for the best.

Since Grandpa Lan died at the hands of the Spirit Hall, it was destined that he could not have any connection with the Spirit Hall.

Now, they are at odds with Tang San and Yu Xiaopeng, who come from the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect respectively. It's impossible for them to side with them.

As for the Star Luo royal family, that's even more impossible. The Star Luo royal family's second prince's fiancée was snatched away by Lan Si.

Lan Si now only has one path left: to seek refuge with the Heaven Dou royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School rely on each other. No matter which side he leans towards, it will be beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"You..." Tang San was furious, and with a crack, he smashed the teacup in his hand, splashing tea everywhere.

Qian Renxue frowned, easily dodging the splashed tea as she possessed strength comparable to a Title Douluo. However, Ning Fengzhi, a support-type Soul Master still lost in thought and lacking any offensive capabilities, wasn't so lucky; he was directly splashed in the face with Tang San's tea.

Lan Si ignored Ning Fengzhi and stood up to continue his provocation: "What do you mean, 'you'? What, you want to make a move? Do you really think that I held back against you time and time again because I didn't dare to touch you? Are you made of clay? If it weren't for your father, Haotian Douluo, I would have crippled you long ago at the Soto City Great Soul Arena."

"They say dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget rats sons who know how to dig holes. I just don't understand how Haotian Douluo, who was so wise all his life, could have such a useless son like you. You become discouraged at the slightest setback, and instead of cultivating and improving yourself, you spend your days thinking about playing tricks and scheming against Yu Xiaogang. You're a complete coward. I even considered you a rival once. Now, you've faded into obscurity."

Coward...coward...coward...

These two words kept echoing in Tang San's ears. Tang San roared to the sky, "Ah... You are not allowed to insult my father!" Black light surged in his left hand, and his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, was ready to be unleashed.

"I insulted you, how did that insult your father? You're so angry you want to fight, at least come up with a plausible reason. Tell me, besides relying on your father's connections, what else can you do? You disagree?" Lan Si stood up, activating level ten taunt, and beckoned, saying, "Come here..."

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Ning Fengzhi could no longer remain calm and summoned Sword Douluo by telepathy.

"I'll kill you..." Tang San leaped towards Lan Si.

Lan Si's lips curled slightly, and he activated his powerful Flash skill, instantly teleporting behind Tang San and kicking him in the back.

At this critical moment, Sword Douluo appeared between Lan Si and Tang San, grabbing Tang San's left hand as he was about to release the Clear Sky Hammer, and blocking Lan Si's right leg kick with his other hand.

boom...

The instant Sword Douluo blocked Lan Si's right leg, a circle of pale white ripples rose in the air, instantly overturning tables and chairs and scattering tea everywhere.

Sword Douluo was secretly astonished. Such strength and speed! If I hadn't appeared in time, this boy named Tang San would have been seriously injured with a single blow.

Tang San was equally shocked. He glanced back at Lan Si and Sword Douluo, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He was filled with lingering fear; he had acted too impulsively, committing a cardinal sin in warfare. If Sword Douluo hadn't stopped him, perhaps...

Chapter 149 Ning Fengzhi's Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires

"Alright, Xiao San, A Si, stop it. Both of you should calm down." Ning Fengzhi took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea off his face and acted as a peacemaker. "You are both from the Haotian Sect. A Si's grandfather died at the hands of the Spirit Hall, and Xiao San's father retired because of the Spirit Hall. You shouldn't be killing each other. You should unite against the outside world."

Seeing Sword Douluo appear, Lan Si knew that the fight was off. He withdrew his right leg, cupped his hands, and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Sword Douluo, Sect Master Ning, Brother Xue, I acted impulsively just now."

Sword Douluo released Tang San's right hand, nodded, and said to Lan Si, "Young man, you are very good."

After saying that, he stood next to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised. So far, besides Tang Hao, Lan Si was the first person to receive such high praise from Sword Douluo. It seemed that if he hadn't summoned Sword Uncle earlier, Tang San would have been instantly killed again. He shook his head and smiled faintly, "It's alright. It's normal for young people to be impulsive."

"It's good that you're all alright." Qian Renxue wasn't too worried; she knew Lan Si's strength well. In fact, she was more than happy for Lan Si to teach Tang San, that arrogant brat, a lesson.

Tang San also realized what was happening. He cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Qian Renxue, but didn't say anything more before turning and walking out of the house. He already knew what he needed to know, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at the messy private room, then said to Lan Si and Qian Renxue, "Qinghe, A Si, since that's the case, we should take our leave."

He had achieved his goal for today. The reason he asked Xue Qinghe to put on this show was because he valued Tang San's twin martial soul talent, hoping to make him hate the Spirit Hall and sever any ties he might have with it.
