"Dad, actually, I've always had an idea."

After handing over the blueprint of the hidden weapon to Tang Hao, Tang San suddenly spoke up.

Tang Hao took the blueprint, and upon hearing his son's words, his eyes moved, and he said, "Xiao San, whatever thoughts you have, just speak them out."

"As long as your dad can help you, I will do my utmost."

Seeing his dad respond this way, Tang San chose to share the concerns he had always held in his heart: "Dad, over these years, I've been thinking about how to handle a future battle with Su Yun."

"Relying solely on the Blue Silver Grass is absolutely not enough. Su Yun's Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit can perfectly counter mine. Even if I have my own soul skills and hidden weapons, doesn't Su Yun have any trump cards?"

"So, I have two ideas I want to discuss with you."

"One is to follow you and learn smithing for a period of time, and the second is that I hope you can teach me some techniques related to my second martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer."

Tang San's idea was straightforward.

Ever since knowing that his father was one of the only three master smiths in the world, Tang San's level of forging, even Tang San himself admitted he couldn't compare.

And if Tang San wanted his mechanically triggered hidden weapons to be stronger, he needed the components of his forged weapons to be of a much higher grade than before!

As for the story of the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San had also heard explanations from his teacher Yu Xiaogang and other teachers.

As the number one tool martial spirit in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer surely had its unique methods of combating enemies.

Tang San, once resentful about being suppressed by other martial spirits, had thought about switching to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, but was stopped by Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang hoped more that Tang San could at least cultivate his Blue Silver Grass to above level 50 soul power!

At that time, Tang San could add nine black ten-thousand-year soul rings to his second martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer!

Just thinking about it was terrifying!

Tang San knew his teacher wanted what was best for him, so he wanted to see if he could develop his second martial spirit in preparation for his duel with Su Yun.

Upon hearing Tang San's thoughts, Tang Hao sighed slightly in his heart, proud that his son had inherited his foresight in planning ahead.

He laughed loudly and immediately agreed: "Good! Once we return and you've absorbed the soul bone, I'll take you straight back to the Haotian Sect for special training. Besides teaching you the techniques of forging, your uncle and I will also teach you the true ways to use the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"But Dad, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition is in two years, and I want to win the championship with my classmates, to vindicate our teacher!"

Tang San wanted to tell the world that his teacher was not the thief of knowledge as described by the Spirit Hall, but truly skilled!

However, hearing Tang San's words, Tang Hao shook his head and said, "Xiao San, there are many ways to prove the Master's worth. Relying on an academy competition is merely a child's way of fighting."

"Look at the titled Douluos in the world, how many of them became famous through spirit master competitions?"

Tang Hao's words made Tang San pause.

Dad's words seemed to make a lot of sense.

Tang Hao continued, "The teachers in the academy are your guides, and the spirit master competition is at most a test."

"To become stronger, you can only rely on yourself!"

"Could it be that when facing danger, you still think of waiting for your teammates to come before facing it?"

Tang San wanted to speak, but Tang Hao interrupted, "I know what you're thinking, and I've already considered it for you."

"The last half-year, I will send you back to sync up with your teammates."

"For the next year and a half, you can just follow me and train in the Haotian Sect."

Hearing that his dad was willing to let him return to participate in the competition, Tang San no longer had any objections.

After all, he also wanted to become stronger as soon as possible, to vindicate his teacher and find his missing mother.

"Alright, let's go back."

"Xiao San, remember, what you need to do now is to become stronger as quickly as possible, to defeat Su Yun!"

"Apart from that, everything else is irrelevant to you."

Tang Hao's words lingered in Su Yun's mind. He nodded and said, "Dad, I understand."

Seeing this, Tang Hao approvingly patted his son's head and then took Tang San back towards the direction of Heaven Dou City.

...

Heaven Dou City.

The Palace.

"Miss, last night, the Golden Iron Triangle including Yu Xiaogang and members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, including Yu Luomian, were seriously injured by Dugu Bo using his eighth soul skill and were imprisoned in Sunset Forest."

The Serpent Spear Douluo stood respectfully beside Qian Renxue, reporting the major events within the royal city from last night: "Moreover, according to scouts, there was a Soul Douluo level expert present at the scene, who, however, was not troubled by Dugu Bo and left Sunset Forest alone."

Qian Renxue was initially curious about the reason for the first incident, but upon hearing the Serpent Spear Douluo's report, she was surprised that someone could leave unchallenged by Dugu Bo.

She knew all too well how temperamental Dugu Bo could be.

The fact that Dugu Bo allowed a formidable opponent to leave without a fight indicates that there was a significant reason behind it.

"Who was that person?" Qian Renxue asked.

The Serpent Spear Douluo replied, "After our analysis, that person should be Bai He, the clan leader of the Agility Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans under the Haotian Sect. His straight-line speed is among the fastest on the continent, making it extremely difficult for us to catch up with him."

"As for why Dugu Bo did not take action against him, it seems to be because he returned Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, which prevented any conflict from occurring."

Although there had been conflicts between the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect in the past.

For families like the Agility Clan, the Spirit Hall did not press too hard, instead taking the opportunity to absorb many affiliated families of the Haotian Sect.

And with many powerful individuals gathering in Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue naturally had a list of them.

She was not too surprised by Bai He's appearance.

And she understood.

Dugu Bo cherished his granddaughter Dugu Yan the most, and it was likely because of Dugu Yan that Dugu Bo did not take action against Bai He.

Qian Renxue asked, "Tell me why Dugu Bo had a conflict with that waste Yu Xiaogang."

"And why did Yu Luomian get involved with Yu Xiaogang? Didn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan expel Yu Xiaogang from their family?"

"I remember that day at the auction, Yu Luomian seemed to have a conflict with Yu Xiaogang, and the reason behind it must not be simple."

The Serpent Spear Douluo bitterly smiled, "Miss, the aftermath of their battle was huge, and our spies couldn't get close to them."

With Dugu Bo using his eighth soul skill, the Spirit Hall's spies would have to be fools to approach that area.

Otherwise, they might end up poisoned and dead without a complete corpse.

The Serpent Spear Douluo hurriedly continued, "However, our spies found out that Dugu Yan was previously cornered by Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from Shrek Academy, and it was only because she was saved by Bai Chenxiang, Bai He's granddaughter, that Bai He personally took Dugu Yan back."

"Hmph! That Yu Xiaogang is also a troublesome person."

"Having already auctioned off the external spirit bone, instead of staying at Shrek Academy, he had to provoke Dugu Bo, truly seeking death." Qian Renxue naturally disdained Yu Xiaogang, considering him worthless.

She thought he was all talk and no use.

"Miss, should we take this opportunity to notify the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"Although Yu Xiaogang is a waste, Yu Luomian is after all the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"If something happens to him at Dugu Bo's, although it has nothing to do with us, now that you are the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"If a big figure from the top three sects, and Yu Yuanzhen's own brother, dies in the Heaven Dou Empire, you wouldn't be able to explain to Emperor Xue Ye." The Serpent Spear Douluo reminded from the side.

"Hehe, what's the rush?"

"The incident happened last night, and we're dealing with the problem today. This speed might make Emperor Xue Ye suspicious of me."

Qian Renxue smiled lightly, "The people from Shrek Academy and those from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who came to the imperial city are not in a hurry, so there's no need for us to be either."

"Since Dugu Bo didn't rashly kill them, that means he must have his reasons."

"Send more people to watch the outskirts of Sunset Forest, and report any abnormalities to me at any time."

"Yes!" The Serpent Spear Douluo complied and then left the room.

...

Inside the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City.

The tightly closed doors finally opened!

After many days of seclusion, Su Yun finally showed himself again.

And this time, after absorbing the power of an eighth-grade Immortal Blue Vine, Su Yun's soul power directly broke through to level 51!

Even his fifth soul ring was successfully condensed with the power of the Blue Silver Emperor and the Immortal Blue Vine!

The fifth soul skill, Blue Silver Tyrant Spear!

"Indeed worthy of an eighth-grade herb comparable to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"

"After absorbing all of its medicinal power, not only did my soul power break through to level 51, but it also pushed my Taiyi Green Wood Technique towards the third stage of reconstruction."

Su Yun marveled inwardly at the potency of the Immortal Blue Vine, wishing he could have more of it.

However, he also knew that such rare medicinal materials were hard to come by, and it was unknown how Yu Xiaogang managed to obtain it.

Perhaps through Liu Erlong or some other means.

In any case, to find another eighth-grade medicinal material, he would probably need to seek out Bai He of the Agility Clan from the former Haotian Sect.

He seemed to have a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in his possession.

Of course, Su Yun also had some other immortal herbs in his possession, but he was not in a hurry to consume them, planning to save them for a rainy day.

At this moment, the news of Su Yun's emergence also attracted the attention of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Seeing the two Titled Douluos coming, Su Yun naturally paid his respects to them.

"Good boy, you've actually broken through to level 50 soul power!"
