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

Tang Hao was somewhat exasperated: "A real man like you, if you only think about running away when you encounter a little setback, are you still my son, Tang Hao?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San, not knowing where he got the courage, stood up and retorted, "But Dad, Lan Si hurt Xiao Wu and insulted my teacher. And Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul. If I don't switch to Clear Sky Hammer, I will have no way to defeat him in the Soul Master Competition and avenge him."

Tang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, a deep disappointment and a faint sadness flashing across them. "Who told you that Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul? And you want to defeat that kid named Lan Si, is it really just because he hurt Xiao Wu? Insulted your teacher? Just because of that, you're so eager to kill him? When did your magnanimity become so narrow?"

The Fairy Tree Romance

"Although Lan Si has defeated you time and time again, he was right about one thing: the Soul Arena is a place for Soul Masters to spar and hone their skills, not a playground for you. There's no rule that you can only hurt him and he can't fight back. Since you're so afraid of losing, what kind of Soul Master are you?"

Tang Hao's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Tang San speechless. And since the one who criticized him was his father, he dared not refute him. He could only clench his fists, grit his teeth, and lower his head, cursing Lan Si's ancestor a hundred thousand times over in his heart.

Seeing Tang San fall silent, Tang Hao let out a long sigh, his tone softening considerably. He said with a sigh, "I know you're not convinced. You've been a genius all your life since you were little, and suddenly someone stronger than you appears, someone you once didn't even take seriously. You can't accept it right away. Even I thought about killing that person who might threaten you in the future. I never gave up on that idea until the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition."

"Dad, then why don't you do it?" Tang San raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent. His father was Haotian Douluo. If he wanted to kill Lan Si, it would be an extremely simple matter. In that case, he wouldn't have to switch to cultivating a second martial soul in advance.

Chapter 157 Lan Si's Great-Grandfather

"Do you still remember what Xue Qinghe said that day?" Tang Hao sighed.

Tang Hao knew Ning Fengzhi all too well; he was a true old fox. Since Ning Fengzhi had taken his son to meet some unknown person, it was inevitable that they would be led astray and become his pawns. Therefore, Tang Hao had been secretly following them.

I never expected to hear such a shocking piece of gossip about Lan Si.

Tang San was taken aback. "Father, could it be that he really is from the Haotian Sect, just like us?"

Tang Hao nodded emphatically, "I've done some research these past few days. His grandfather is the son of the Seventh Elder of the Haotian Sect, named Tang Zhan, who is my cousin. According to seniority, Lan Si should respectfully address you as Uncle. Moreover, I also have some recollection of this matter from back then."

"Lan Si's grandmother was once a songstress in Tian Dou City. By chance, Tang Zhan took advantage of her and conceived Lan Si's father. The Haotian Sect values ​​sect honor highly. If Lan Si's grandmother were a Soul Master, it would be fine, but she was a songstress. Naturally, the Haotian Sect would not agree to this marriage. Tang Zhan was worried about being blamed by the Seventh Elder, so he lied and said that the songstress had seduced him."

"So the Seventh Elder had Tang Zhan take the mother and son to a remote mountain village. If Lan Si's father awakened the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, he would acknowledge his identity as a member of the Clear Sky Clan. The result was predictable. Many years later, a change occurred in the Clear Sky Clan. My cousin died in that change, and the matter was left unresolved."

Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Did Lan Si know that his great-grandfather was the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Tang Hao shook his head. "They probably don't know. Back then, besides me, your uncle, aunt, and a few elders of the Haotian Sect, almost everyone else who knew about this died. Even Lan Si's grandmother didn't know Tang Zhan's real name; she only knew that he was born into the Haotian Sect and was an inner disciple."

"Dad, I also have an uncle and an aunt?" Tang San's eyes lit up. Having lived two lives and lacked love since childhood, he never imagined that he would have so many relatives in this world besides his father.

Upon hearing this, a look of pain flashed across Tang Hao's eyes. After a moment's thought, his expression turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice, "This is not something you should know right now. I'm telling you this so that you know that Lan Si is a descendant of the Haotian Sect, not your enemy."

"Moreover, he probably showed you mercy time and time again because he knew you came from the Haotian Sect. Otherwise, anyone else would have been crippled long ago. That kid is no pushover; he's ruthless. Those seven brats from Canghui Academy tried to kill him, but he turned them into idiots instead."

Tang San said with resentment, "But Father, I'm not reconciled... We clearly obtained our first spirit rings at the same time, and after obtaining them, my spirit power was even two levels higher than his, but because of the inherent weakness of the Blue Silver Grass spirit, I was left behind. If I had cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer..."

"Have you forgotten what you just said? Who told you that Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul? Even Lan Si's martial soul can evolve, so can yours. You should know that after your Blue Silver Grass martial soul awakens for the second time, it is the strongest among plant-type martial souls," Tang Hao said sternly.

Tang San's eyes lit up. "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

"Do you think I need to lie to you?" Tang Hao said irritably.

"Then how can I awaken a second time like Lan Si?" Tang San asked hastily upon hearing this.

"I don't know how Lan Si's martial soul awakened a second time, but you, at least you have to wait until your soul power reaches level fifty before your martial soul can awaken a second time. Alright, stop asking. That's all I can tell you for now. Do your best in the Soul Master Competition. Even if you reveal your twin martial souls, it doesn't matter. With me here, no one can touch you." Tang Hao waved his hand impatiently, thus retracting his boastful words.

"I will, Dad." Tang San nodded emphatically. Upon learning that his spirit power could be awakened a second time after reaching level 50, the melancholy in Tang San's heart instantly vanished. Currently, his Blue Silver Grass was weak, but that was only relative to Lan Si. However, he could still easily defeat a spirit master of the same level, such as Dai Mubai, who possessed a top-tier offensive spirit. Once his Blue Silver Grass spirit was awakened a second time, would he still need to fear Lan Si?

"Dad, I have another question."

Tang Hao said impatiently, "Speak quickly."

"Who is my mother? Is her disappearance and your retirement really related to the Spirit Hall?" Tang San asked seriously.

"Your mother?" Tang Hao was taken aback, a look of pain flashing in his eyes. He turned around, tilting his head back and forcing himself not to let his tears fall. With his back to Tang San, he said, "This is not the time for you to know. I will tell you when your strength reaches my requirements. Alright, I should leave now. Remember, you are not allowed to cultivate a second martial soul without my permission. Otherwise, I will no longer acknowledge you as my son."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao's figure flashed and instantly disappeared from Tang San's sight.

Watching Tang Hao's disappearing figure, Tang San's eyes were filled with rage. Even without his father's words, he knew his mother was almost certainly dead, and the culprit was undoubtedly the Spirit Hall. "Spirit Hall, just you wait! One day I will destroy this filthy existence!"

..........

Meanwhile, three hundred miles east of Tiandou City, in the Haotian Sect surrounded by mountains.

"Seventh Elder, here is your letter." A young man in gray who looked to be about thirty years old knelt on one knee in front of an elderly man who was also dressed in gray and had a robust build.

The old man sat upright on a huge stone chair, one hand supporting his chin, the other gently tapping the stone armrest. He said calmly, "A letter? In this day and age, someone actually writes me a letter, and it even gets delivered to the Haotian Sect. That's interesting. Who sent it?"

"It's...it's Tang Hao." The young man's voice trembled slightly.

"Crack..." The stone handrail was instantly crushed by the old man's hand. He stood up and shouted, "Say that again!"

"It was...it was sent by Tang Hao. It even has his signature on it. I saw it this morning when I went to patrol outside the mountain gate," the young man said tremblingly.

"Good, that troublemaker has really grown bold, daring to come to the Clear Sky Sect. Of course, if it weren't for him, my eldest son wouldn't have died at the hands of the Spirit Hall. Go, burn this letter for me." Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder instantly flew into a rage.

The young man said, "But the letter says he found Uncle Tang Zhan's lost grandson." Uncle Tang Zhan, of course, refers to the Seventh Elder's eldest son.

Chapter 158 Lan Si vs. Blazing Fire Academy

P.S.: ——————Anti-theft chapter——————I will notify you after it's finished.

Bone Douluo curled his lips and continued to transmit his voice: "Tang San, I've heard that bitch mention him. He has powerful twin martial soul talents, but his temperament is utterly despicable. I don't understand why you, Sect Master, still value him so much. If someone like him keeps winning, that's fine, but once he loses, he'll easily become despondent."

"Compared to that kid named Tang San, I actually prefer Lan Si. Not only is he exceptionally talented, but he's also good-looking, a perfect match for our Rongrong. Alas, it's a pity that Rongrong doesn't seem to be interested in him, otherwise, it would be wonderful if Lan Si could become our grandson-in-law."

"I almost regret not stopping you from letting Rongrong enter Shrek Academy. If you had let Rongrong enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, maybe the two of them could have gotten together. And that old bastard Dugu Bo too. Why did he have to stand up for that spoiled brat Xue Beng and kick Shrek out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Now look at the situation."

Ning Fengzhi, with his meticulous mind, understood Bone Douluo's words perfectly. If Lan Si hadn't appeared, Tang San might truly have become the most dazzling new star of this era. After all, he could see that Tang San was a smart child. But whenever he encountered Lan Si, it was as if he had met his nemesis, and he was almost completely crushed.

What troubled Ning Fengzhi most was his precious daughter. Because Lan Si had defeated Shrek Academy, she harbored excessive hatred towards Lan Si. And Lan Si didn't seem to care much for her either. Even if he wanted to bring them together, there was nothing he could do.

Just as Ning Fengzhi was lamenting his inability to recruit Lan Si to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the first group of ten teams had already taken the stage.

Almost everyone in the entire Arena focused their attention on the central arena. Then, a deafening cheer erupted: "One against seven...one against seven..."

xiaoshuting.info

Clearly, although three days have passed since Lan Si single-handedly defeated Shrek Academy, the audience still vividly remembers the scene of Lan Si taking on seven people.

"Ali and his friends' next opponent was defeated by this bean sprout? That Shrek Academy is too weak."

The speaker was Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect. Given his position in the Spirit Hall, he was not qualified to know about Qian Renxue's existence, let alone Lan Si. Upon seeing Lan Si's appearance, he immediately spoke with some disdain.

Emperor Xueye said calmly, "Sect Master Huyan, it's not that Shrek Academy is too weak, but that A Si is too strong."

"Oh? Is that so?" Hu Yanzhen laughed, still looking disdainful. He was about to say something more when he saw Salas glare at him. Helpless, he had no choice but to shut up and turn his gaze to the central arena of the Great Soul Arena.

On the competition stage, both sides had entered the arena, and the matches on all five stages began simultaneously upon the referee's announcement.

When the referee announced the release of martial souls, Lan Si, finding it too troublesome, simply had the six lackeys jump off the arena, undoubtedly pushing the match to its climax. Everyone knew that Lan Si was about to stage another one-against-seven showdown.

Having learned from Shrek Academy's experience, the seven members of Canghui Academy seemed much more cautious. However, their lineup appeared rather weak, with only their captain possessing the strength of a Soul Master above level 40. The others were only around level 30, and one of them even had suboptimal Soul Ring configurations, with all three Soul Rings being yellow.

This greatly disappointed the audience, as the strength displayed by Canghui Academy was even inferior to that of Shrek Academy.

The moment they released their martial spirits, they quickly gathered together, with the captain standing at the front and the other six members standing behind, forming a strange hexagonal formation.

Seeing the lineup that Canghui Academy had put up, Lan Si was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that Canghui Academy would use the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique so quickly.

Seven beams of light of different colors emerged from the seven members of Canghui Academy. The moment they each summoned their gem martial souls, the captain leading them beckoned to Lan Si and provocatively said, "You're the Lan Si who defeated Shrek Academy? You don't look like much, do you? You actually dared to dream of taking on seven at once? Do you really think Canghui Academy is some kind of lowly Shrek Academy? You're ignorant. Come on over if you dare."

"Alright." Lan Si smiled calmly. Four spirit rings, two yellow, one purple, and one black, rose from beneath his feet. At the same time, he released his Azure Lotus Martial Soul and activated his Azure Fiery Eyes, slowly walking towards Canghui Academy.

VIP stands.

Ning Fengzhi sensed something was wrong and thought to himself, "Oh no, A-Si has fallen into a trap. Canghui Academy is using the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique."

As expected, the moment Lan Si approached the seven members of Canghui Academy, seven beams of colorful light shot into the sky almost simultaneously, condensing into a massive seven-colored pillar of light centered on the captain of Canghui Academy. The pillar of light rapidly expanded, completely enveloping the seven people who had formed a formation, as well as the approaching Lan Si.

"This...this could be the legendary Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" Emperor Xueye exclaimed in surprise from the VIP stands.

"This is not a seven-in-one martial soul fusion technique, but a seven-in-one fusion technique." Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a solemn expression, thinking to himself, "A Si underestimated his opponent this time. I hope he's alright, otherwise it'll be a pity."

The moment the seven-colored beam of light spread, various precious lights burst forth from it, completely attracting the light beams in the stands, leaving them dazzled and mesmerized.

"Haha, Lan Si, I admit, one-on-one, no one is your match, but you shouldn't have underestimated our Canghui Academy. Tell me quickly, where is Teacher Shi Nian? Otherwise, we'll make you die right now in our Seven Asura Illusionary Realms." The voice of the Canghui Academy captain came from all directions amidst the colorful light.

Upon hearing this, Lan Si suddenly realized that Shi Nian had indeed set his sights on him. Moreover, these seven members of the Canghui Academy were Shi Nian's disciples, so they must know something. Now that Shi Nian had disappeared, and he was highly valued by the Tiandou Royal Family, the other party was probably just blindly guessing that Shi Nian's disappearance was related to him.

Since that's the case.....

"Don't worry, you'll never see him." Lan Si's gaze swept around, and under the watchful eyes of his azure fiery eyes, the seven students from Canghui Academy had nowhere to hide.

"It really was you! What exactly did you do to Teacher Shi Nian?" The captain of Canghui Academy stared at Lan Si, his voice filled with anxiety.

Lan Si did not choose to make a move, but simply stood there. Instead of answering, she asked, "I wonder if your teacher ever told you? The battle in the illusion is a contest of mental strength. With your insignificant illusion, I can crush you with my mental strength."

As he spoke, Lan Si slowly closed his eyes, focused his spiritual power into them, and then suddenly opened them, rushing towards the captain of Canghui Academy through his azure fiery eyes.

"Ah..." Seven screams rang out almost simultaneously. In the entire Great Soul Arena, almost all the Soul Masters with a Soul Power level of over 70, including Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Huyan Zhen, and Salas, stood up at the same time.

Just now, they sensed a spiritual force, a spiritual force no weaker than that of a Soul Saint.

Chapter 159 Making Dumplings for Blazing Fire Academy

P.S.: ——————Anti-theft chapter——————I will notify you after it's finished.

Yu Xiaogang has always been committed to making his disciple Tang San the core of Shrek Academy and building the Shrek team into a team that belongs solely to Tang San, with the other Shrek members serving as supporting characters to highlight his disciple's extraordinary talent.

And Yu Xiaogang succeeded. Tang San became the core of the Shrek Academy team completely. Without him, Shrek Academy was just an ordinary soul master team.

But now Tang San has fallen and encountered a setback, so he can't play.

If Shrek Academy falls in the second round of the preliminaries, he'll have to wait another five years to make a name for himself in the world of Soul Masters. He's been looked down upon since he was six years old. More than forty years have passed. Let alone five years, he couldn't tolerate even five months or five days.

He desperately wanted his theory of invincibility to be recognized by the world.

Winning the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament for the Shrek Academy team was his only way to prove himself.

Five years... how is he supposed to endure that?

Liu Erlong also frowned, "Xiao Gang, what do you suggest we do? The competition is about to start in less than half an hour. If all else fails, we'll have to arrange for Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Rongrong, Mubai, and Xiaowu to go on stage together."
