Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

Shen Yumo seemed to sense something and looked out into the light.

Just then, three figures suddenly appeared outside the brightly lit screen.

It was Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, and Xiao Xiao. The two old men had wicked smiles on their faces, while Xiao Xiao looked completely bewildered.

When Shen Yumo saw the wicked smiles on the wrinkled faces of Elder Xuan and Elder Mu, he let out a painful laugh, silently cursing these two extremely evil old men!

Those two old men definitely knew something beforehand! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been grinning like that, as if their scheme had succeeded! Thinking about this, Shen Yumo was furious, but what could he do? He couldn't beat them, and what could he say…?

Elder Xuan stood outside the light screen, a chicken leg in his hand, a wicked smile on his face, but he showed no intention of entering the room. When Shen Yumo saw this, she almost burst into white smoke on the spot.

Taking a deep breath to calm myself down, I got up and walked outside.

"This little fellow, he has such a charming face!" Old Master Xuan's eyes were glazed over as he took a big gulp of wine and looked at Shen Yumo as she walked over, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Xiao was stunned again. In fact, she had a vague idea of ​​what had happened. When she walked around the room and saw the two people inside, she probably understood something. When she saw Senior Ma crying with her face covered and Shen Yumo looking annoyed, she became even more certain of her thoughts!

This is huge news! This is absolutely explosive news, enough to get the entire college buzzing!

But, even if I told them, I don't know if I'd still be alive...

"Sigh, Elder Xuan, go and comfort her." Shen Yumo sighed, and when her gaze swept over Elder Mu, she saw the same wicked smile on his face as Elder Xuan's, making her want to cry even more.

Elder Xuan patted Shen Yumo on the shoulder and chuckled, "The academy will reward you for this. Under your treatment, Xiao Tao not only escaped danger but also successfully obtained the Ultimate Flame. You deserve all the credit! Alright, I'll give you a few days off to travel around the continent. Remember the exchange student plan for half a month." After saying that, he turned and walked into the house, not giving Shen Yumo any chance to explain.

Old Mu chuckled and walked towards Ma Xiaotao's room. Xiao Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, then she glanced at Shen Yumo and followed him inside.

After hearing Elder Xuan's words, Shen Yumo smiled bitterly again. His heart finally settled down when the three of them entered the light barrier.

At worst, I'll just take them all!

Filled with hatred, he flew upwards.

Well, I need to go out and explore for a few days, otherwise these old guys will drive me crazy! I'll explain to Jiang Nannan when I get back, and also check out what the exchange student situation is like.

……

The capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Heavenly Dou City.

A petite and somewhat lonely figure walked silently down the street. It had been almost a month since she returned. The smile that once graced Tang Ya's pretty face was gone. Her complexion was unhealthy and pale, and compared to before, she possessed a more fragile beauty. Heaven Dou City—this was where she was born and raised. Until five years ago. That sect, which was practically insignificant in the Soul Master world, had taken everything from her.

After thousands of years of decline, the Tang Clan finally collapsed and ceased to exist. Even his own father and mother…

Thinking of this, Tang Ya couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad, Mom, no matter the cost, I will make the Tang Sect shine again." Tang Ya silently clenched her small fists. She ultimately didn't live to see Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao emerge from their seclusion. Ignoring Bei Bei's objections, she finally dropped out of Shrek Academy.

After dropping out of school, she returned to Tiandou City. She bought a small house with her and Beibei's savings. Tang Ya's original plan was to first establish herself in Tiandou City before reopening the Tang Sect and recruiting disciples.

We need to lay a solid foundation first, and then wait for Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao and the others to come and restore the prestige of the Tang Sect.

However, once she returned to Heaven Dou City, she understood why Bei Bei had advised her against being so hasty. Everything was far more complex than she had imagined. Firstly, it was financial. She had brought back a considerable amount of money, but after purchasing property, Tang Ya carefully calculated the expenses needed to rebuild the Tang Sect. She then realized a crucial issue…

……

Chapter 218 Tang Ya's Darkening

Tang Ya carefully calculated the expenses needed to rebuild the Tang Sect. She then realized a crucial problem: the Tang Sect would have no income for a long time to come. She couldn't very well run back to Shrek Academy to ask Bei Bei for money! Part of the money Bei Bei gave her came from her family. Tang Ya's pride wouldn't allow her to do that.

Secondly, there's the matter of connections. She was only ten years old when she left Heaven Dou City, and now she's just fifteen. What kind of loneliness must a fifteen-year-old girl experience, all alone and without relatives in such a vast city?

Tang Ya tried to find her old acquaintances from the Tang Clan and her parents' friends, but they avoided her like the plague. Moreover, news of her return reached the small sect that had seized control of the Tang Clan. As a result, Tang Ya began to face exclusion and suppression in every way. Even buying everyday items on the street resulted in vendors raising prices for her.

After a month, she had experienced the harsh realities of life, and the hatred that had been suppressed in her heart began to erupt like a geyser. Rebuilding the Tang Clan was truly difficult, and her slender shoulders were already finding it hard to bear the weight.

In the distance, a large gate came into her view. Tang Ya's body trembled slightly, and two lines of tears slid down her fair face almost instantly. The gatehouse was about two zhang high and five zhang wide, with walls one zhang high extending twenty meters on each side of the gatehouse. The vermilion paint on the walls was particularly eye-catching, and it also had a solemn feel to it.

The gatehouse is adorned with neat, finely arranged gray tiles. Above the gate are three large characters: Iron-Blooded Sect. On either side of the gatehouse stand two upright plaques: the left one reads "Iron-Blooded Loyalty," and the right one reads "Eternal Pride."

Not long ago, this place was not like this. On the plaque above the gate tower, there were only two characters: Tangmen.

Yes, this is the former site of the Tang Sect, though it is not the original site of the Tang Sect that was once famous throughout the continent and known as the number one sect in the world ten thousand years ago. This place still inherits nearly three thousand years of Tang Sect history! But now, it bears the name of the Iron-Blooded Sect, what a disgrace!

This is my home, my home!

Tang Ya suddenly raised her right hand and forcefully wiped away the tears on her face. At this moment, a faint red light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her whole aura suddenly became sharp.

The Iron Blood Sect didn't attack her within the city because Heaven Dou City was the seat of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, and Tang Ya also had experience studying at Shrek Academy. They were slowly but surely cutting her flesh with a dull knife! Tang Ya, finally unable to endure this torment any longer, returned to her former home, her inner turmoil overwhelming her. She came; she had finally come. At this moment, she had no purpose; she only wanted revenge.

Arriving at the gate of the Iron Blood Sect, Tang Ya took a deep breath, suddenly let out a delicate shout, and stretched out her arms to her sides. Instantly, countless thick, blue-black vines shot out, splitting into three strands, and shattered the three plaques into pieces.

Four spirit rings quickly rose from Tang Ya's feet.

If Bei Bei were here, he would also be shocked by Tang Ya's cultivation level. Tang Ya had only broken through to level 30 in a year. Even he and Xu Sanshi hadn't improved at such a speed from level 30 to level 40! Bei Bei had no idea that Tang Ya was already a four-ring Soul Master level expert.

Blue Silver Grass—no, Tang Ya's martial soul was no longer just ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Dark blue vines danced in the air, like giant pythons. A faint purplish-red light emanated from Tang Ya's eyes.

On either side of the Iron Blood Sect's gate tower stood a disciple on duty. Because Tang Ya moved so fast, the two disciples didn't react until she destroyed the three plaques.

"What are you doing? Are you looking for death?" a disciple shouted angrily, but that was the end of his voice. Seeing the four spirit rings on Tang Ya's body—two yellow and two purple—he was instantly horrified.

Four spirit rings might not seem particularly impressive at Shrek Academy, but in most sects, it represents considerable strength. Moreover, it's the optimal spirit ring combination.

Just like Shen Yumo and her group felt that Dai Huabin and the others weren't strong enough after returning from the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Tang Ya, who came from Shrek Academy, was no longer weak in front of these small sects.

At this moment, Tang Ya was consumed by thoughts of revenge. She swung two thick strands of blue silver grass, instantly wrapping them around the necks of the two Iron Blood Sect disciples. Without using any soul skills, the two strands of blue silver grass suddenly turned dark purple.

Amidst the piercing screams, it was clear that the bodies of the two Iron Blood Sect disciples were instantly crushed into a bloody pulp, as if coiled around by a giant python, with large amounts of blood gushing out.

It was actually absorbed directly by the powerful Blue Silver Grass, turning into layers of light that flowed towards Tang Ya's body. Tang Ya's face seemed to have become even paler.

"Huh." An old man sat on the second floor of a restaurant opposite the Iron Blood Sect, his position allowing him a perfect view of the scene unfolding in front of the sect. A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Tie Li, come out here!" Tang Ya shouted, and in one swift step, she rushed over the archway and entered the front courtyard that originally belonged to the Tang Clan. She swung her Blue Silver Grass horizontally, throwing the corpses of the two Iron Blood Sect disciples directly into the vermilion wall.

The screams of the two Iron Blood Sect disciples had already shaken the sect. A large number of Iron Blood Sect disciples rushed out. The leader was tall, but his eyes were small. He had short hair and a bald patch in the middle. When he saw Tang Ya rush into the courtyard, his gaze immediately sharpened. "Little girl, you dare to kill someone from my Iron Blood Sect? You've really chosen the path to hell! Attack!"

This tall, middle-aged man was Tie Tang, the young sect leader of the Iron Blood Sect. Back then, it was he who, along with his father Tie Li, bribed the city's defense forces to launch a surprise attack on the Tang Clan at night. The Tang Clan's strength was far too weak at that time. Only Tang Ya escaped.

Although the Iron Blood Sect is only a small sect, it has nearly two hundred disciples. Among them, the sect leader, Tie Li, is a Soul Emperor-level expert, and there are two Soul King-level sect elders under his command. Tie Tang's cultivation has also reached the level of a four-ring Soul Sect.

"You will all die!" Tang Ya cried out in anguish. She touched the ground with one foot, and her delicate body spun violently in place like a top. Instantly, countless hidden weapons scattered like flowers from a fairy maiden, heading straight for the Iron Blood Sect disciples who rushed up from all around.

The dozen or so Iron Blood Sect disciples at the forefront immediately fell. These disciples were only at the first or second ring of cultivation. The vast majority were people who couldn't even get into advanced Soul Master academies. How could they possibly be a match for Tang Ya's hidden weapons powered by her soul power?

……

Chapter 219 Tang Ya'er's Darkening

……

Tie Tang naturally saw the four spirit rings flashing on Tang Ya's body. He also had four rings, but they were one white, two yellow, and one purple. He had only managed to obtain them with the personal assistance of his father, Tie Li, and two elders.

Tie Tang wasn't surprised at all by Tang Ya's arrival, because it was all part of his plan. Tang Ya was just a young girl, completely beneath the Iron Blood Sect's notice, but the Iron Blood Sect feared Shrek Academy!

They were unaware that Tang Ya had dropped out of Shrek Academy. That's why they plotted against her; attacking Tang Ya directly would easily bring them trouble. But if Tang Ya came to cause trouble, it would be a different story. However, Tie Tang hadn't expected that in just a few years, Tang Ya's cultivation level would have reached such a level.

A volley of hidden weapons flew past, followed by a deluge of Blue Silver Grass blooming forth. The Blue Silver Grass, as thick as an arm, had sharp, cone-like tips. Wherever it passed, puffs of blood mist erupted in the courtyard, and dozens more Iron Blood Sect disciples perished. As the Blue Silver Grass turned dark purple, their blood essence was instantly absorbed.

Tang Ya's face flushed an unhealthy red, and her purplish-red eyes shone even deeper. With a sudden burst of strength, dozens of blue silver grasses lashed out, scattering the corpses. She herself then charged towards Tie Tang like lightning.

Tie Tang's martial soul is inherited from the Tie Li lineage and is called Iron Arm Bear. It's a very ordinary bear-type martial soul. Compared to the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, it's like the difference between the bottom and top of the food chain.

Tang Ya's formidable strength deterred the other Iron Blood Sect disciples from advancing, causing them to hastily retreat in all directions. This naturally exposed Iron Tang.

Tie Tang couldn't retreat at this moment; he had already signaled to his father and the sect elders in the backyard. However, Tang Ya's combat power far exceeded their expectations, causing such heavy casualties in an instant. But in his view, as long as he could hold Tang Ya off, she would die anyway once Tie Li and the two elders arrived. She had killed so many people; even if she were torn to pieces, the Iron Blood Sect would still be on the right side.

"Kill you, kill you!" Tang Ya shouted repeatedly, seemingly completely out of her mind. Dozens of blue silver grasses shot out like lightning, heading straight for Tie Tang.

Tie Tang lowered his stance, his third spirit ring illuminating, and simultaneously thrust both fists forward. Instantly, a burst of intense white light erupted from his fists, forming a two-meter-diameter light shield in front of him, deflecting the incoming Blue Silver Grass. Then, the light shield shot straight towards Tang Ya.

Tang Ya snorted coldly, and the Blue Silver Grass that had been knocked away quickly retracted inward, enveloping the center. Numerous sharp spikes protruded from each blade of Blue Silver Grass. She herself used the Ghostly Shadow Steps technique to instantly dodge to the side.

Back then, her parents were limited by their own talents and only had a superficial understanding of the Tang Sect's unique skills. It was only with Bei Bei's help that she gradually mastered all of the Tang Sect's techniques. Now, when she uses the Ghost Shadow Steps, even her father couldn't match her abilities back then.

Although the light shield locked onto Tang Ya's body, its light gradually weakened under her series of dodges. Meanwhile, Tie Tang himself was also attacked.

Just then, a loud shout came from the backyard of the Iron Blood Sect, "Who dares to cause trouble in my Iron Blood Sect?" An old man who looked eight parts like Tie Tang arrived quickly with two people of similar age.

Tang Ya's eyes flashed with a cold light. She raised her right hand and waved it in the air, her third spirit ring suddenly lighting up. Instantly, a ball of purplish-black light flew towards the three people.

The purplish-black light unfurled in the air, transforming into a net over five meters in diameter. This was Tang Ya's third soul skill, the Sand Serpent Net, obtained from the thousand-year-old Mandragora Serpent that Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao had fought together to kill for her…

Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass, in terms of both power and momentum, far exceeded Tie Tang's judgment. Seeing that his father and the two elders had arrived, he felt no sense of security at all, because those ferocious Blue Silver Grasses had already surged in from all directions.

Without hesitation, Tie Tang unleashed his fourth soul skill. A layer of white light suddenly emanated from his body, and his arms became exceptionally large. He spun rapidly on the ground, swinging his arms to knock away the vines that were clinging to him.

Tie Tang suffered a great loss from the very first punch he threw at the Blue Silver Grass. The spikes on the Blue Silver Grass were so sharp that even his martial spirit, known as Iron Arm, was utterly useless against them. Tie Tang's punch deflected the Blue Silver Grass, but the spikes left several bloody holes in his fist.

Even more terrifying, he clearly felt his blood and qi surge out the moment he was pierced, as if a portion of it was absorbed by the Blue Silver Grass.

What... what kind of power is this?

At this moment, Tie Tang was like someone drinking poison to quench their thirst. He knew that if he continued to resist, the Blue Silver Grass would continue to absorb his blood essence, but he had no choice but to take action.

He only managed to throw seven or eight punches before he was already teetering on the brink of collapse. As an exceptionally thick blue silver grass lashed out again, he threw another punch, but ultimately failed to blast it away. Sharp thorns pierced his thick arm, instantly sticking to it, and the entire blue silver grass coiled around him amidst his piercing screams. More blue silver grass surged forward, and with Tie Tang's inhuman screams, his body was completely engulfed.

A series of purple halos continuously flowed through the Blue Silver Grass and transmitted to Tang Ya, causing her aura to surge dramatically.

Absorbing the power of a four-ring Soul Master is indeed different. Tang Ya could clearly feel that her soul power had increased again.

Tie Tang was engulfed by Blue Silver Grass, but what about his father, Tie Li?

Tie Li watched helplessly as this unfolded, unable to counter Tang Ya's Sand Serpent Net. Tie Li and the two elders beside him attacked simultaneously, attempting to deflect the net. However, they discovered that the net was completely impervious to their force and incredibly resilient. Their released soul power flowed directly through the gaps, while the net hurtled towards them at breakneck speed.

The sharp spikes on the snake web exerted immense pressure on them; unable to block it head-on, they could only retreat. Even dodging to the side was too late due to the speed of the approaching web.

When they finally managed to avoid the snake net and rushed over again, they witnessed Tie Tang being engulfed by Blue Silver Grass.

"You...you killed my son!" Tie Lishuang roared, his face nearly red with rage. His body swelled up, befitting a six-ring Soul Emperor. The release of his Martial Soul alone made him two and a half meters tall. Besides his exceptionally thick arms, his body also became extremely strong.

However, compared to Soul Emperors like Ma Xiaotao and Dai Gangheng, his Soul Emperor status is far inferior. This is evident from his Soul Rings alone: ​​one white, two yellow, and three purple. He doesn't even have a single ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. This also means that Soul Emperor is Tie Li's limit; he will never be able to break through to the seven-ring Soul Saint realm.

……

Chapter 220 Tang Ya San's Darkening

……

The other two elders were also horrified. They also knew who Tang Ya was. Seeing the four spirit rings on Tang Ya's body, as well as the Blue Silver Grass that could put pressure on them, they hurriedly released their own martial spirits.

"Sect Master, be careful! She... she's probably not an ordinary martial soul. She seems to be devouring the Young Sect Master's power. Could she be... could she be an evil soul master?" The elder on the left exclaimed, his face turning deathly pale as he uttered the words "evil soul master."
