The Miserable Tang San and Yu Xiaogang
After Qian Renxue initiated the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family suffered immense damage, their strength was greatly affected, and even the future of the nation was impacted to a certain extent.
However, with Ning Fengzhi's assurance that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would fully support the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's reconstruction, Emperor Xue Ye breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, although Emperor Xue Ye was exceptionally miserable, rewards and punishments were still necessary.
Being able to repel Xue Qinghe, the fake Crown Prince, and preserve the last hope of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had made a monumental contribution.
This time, Yang Wudi not only saved Emperor Xue Ye's life, but he and Bone Douluo also repelled the enemy. Both were heavily rewarded by Emperor Xue Ye and received imperial noble titles.
Even Yang Xiong and Ning Fengzhi both received noble titles from the Heaven Dou Empire. Especially Yang Xiong, who was not only enfeoffed as a Marquis but also given a fief.
However, when Yang Xiong proposed the scope of his fief, Emperor Xue Ye was also startled. Unfortunately, the strength Yang Xiong displayed now was too powerful, his talent was also too strong, and he also had a very significant background, making it impossible for Emperor Xue Ye to refuse.
And Ning Fengzhi seemed more rational than before. Although he outwardly stated he would fully support the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, in reality, aside from some financial aid, he was unwilling to invest more manpower and resources.
Tang San, Tang Hao, and even Yu Xiaogang and others were also heavily rewarded by Emperor Xue Ye. Unfortunately, this small reward could not compensate for everyone's losses and disappointment.
Tang San originally wanted to discuss the Hidden Weapon trade with Emperor Xue Ye, but Emperor Xue Ye had never heard the original Crown Prince report anything about Hidden Weapons. This meant that the previous Hidden Weapon transactions were all Qian Renxue's doing alone, and she had deliberately kept it from Emperor Xue Ye.
However, after a conversation between Tang San and Emperor Xue Ye, Tang San had established a connection with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
...
When Yu Xiaogang and others returned to Shrek Academy, the academy had already been reduced to ruins. Some students and teachers were killed, and the remaining personnel had all scattered like birds and beasts.
Flander was heartbroken and even extremely disappointed seeing Shrek Academy in this state.
This was Flander's life's work. Now, besides these broken walls and ruins, there was nothing left, not even people. Even the old friends from back then had gone their separate ways.
And Yu Xiaogang had been teaching at Shrek Academy for many years. Now that Shrek Academy was completely gone, he was on the verge of collapse, feeling that there was no hope for revenge left.
And Tang San seemed even more miserable.
When Tang San, Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, and Titan returned to the Tang Sect, they were all dumbfounded, thinking they had gone to the wrong place.
At this moment, the Tang Sect had been directly razed to the ground, and countless members of the Strength Clan had died or were injured.
Seeing the situation before him, Titan's eyes were about to split with rage. Not only had the entire Strength Clan been reduced to ashes, and all the clansmen slaughtered, but even Titan's son Tai Nuo and grandson Tai Long had been killed.
Titan let out a roar, "Spirit Hall, I will never rest until you are destroyed!"
And Tang San was equally dejected at this moment. The Tang Sect he had painstakingly prepared to build, which had just started to take shape, was razed to the ground in the blink of an eye. Could the Tang Sect still be rebuilt in the future?
In the end, Tang San and the others had no choice but to return to Shrek Academy, where they could only discuss future development with Yu Xiaogang.
After hearing about each other's tragic situations, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were both somewhat stunned, realizing how utterly miserable their current circumstances were.
Tang San seemed to think of something. "Teacher, do you know how Yang Xiong's Soul Ring configuration was achieved? Although I've been researching recently, I really can't figure out how he managed to have a 10,000-Year Fourth Soul Ring and a 100,000-Year Sixth Soul Ring."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I don't know either. His Soul Ring configuration seems completely illogical and doesn't conform to the Soul Ring age chart I developed. This might be related to his unique Martial Soul."
Tang San quickly said, "Is having the body as a Martial Soul really that powerful? I remember there were similar Martial Souls in the Soul Master world, but others were nowhere near that powerful."
Yu Xiaogang smiled bitterly. "I don't know about that either. Although he stayed at Shrek Academy for a few years, we didn't interfere with his cultivation. However, if I could find someone with a Martial Soul similar to his and carefully nurture them, perhaps I could discover the secret."
Everyone around was speechless for a moment. There were indeed a very small number of Soul Masters in the Soul Master world who used their bodies as Martial Souls, but they were too rare and too difficult to cultivate.
Tang San thought carefully before speaking. "Teacher, I also watched the entire battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue. I think there was something off about Yang Xiong. He seemed to use my Purple Demon Eyes at the end, but it was also a little different from Purple Demon Eyes."
Yu Xiaogang thought carefully before speaking, "I remember when Yang Xiong fought Qian Renxue, he used a move where his eyes emitted a red light. It was indeed somewhat similar to the Purple Demon Eyes, but it seemed more powerful and had more killing intent than when you use it."
Tang San nodded, "Teacher, my Purple Demon Eyes have been unable to truly break through. Could it be that Yang Xiong found a way to break through?"
Yu Xiaogang fell silent upon hearing this. The Purple Demon Eyes were Tang San's self-created soul skill, and Tang San had cultivated them since childhood.
But now, this self-created soul skill was being used with greater power by someone else, which felt a bit like putting the cart before the horse.
"Little San, I think we might have overlooked a problem. Yang Xiong's martial soul is his own body, which means his eyes are also part of his martial soul. According to what you said before, cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes improves both vision and spiritual power to a certain extent."
"But Yang Xiong is completely different from you. His Purple Demon Eyes are emitted through his martial soul, and he can even use his own martial soul to enhance the skill's power to the extreme. Perhaps this is the true secret of having the body as a martial soul."
Tang San asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's the difference?"
Yu Xiaogang spoke as if he had discovered a new continent, "It's completely different. As a person cultivates, their physical fitness becomes stronger, especially after cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes, where spiritual power and vision greatly improve."
"Doesn't that mean that during this process, Yang Xiong's martial soul itself also became stronger?"
Tang San was greatly surprised upon hearing this, "That's impossible. It's very difficult for a martial soul to evolve. I've absorbed so many poison-attribute soul rings, and my martial soul itself only has toxicity; it hasn't truly evolved."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "That's different. Yang Xiong awakened at six years old, and his body was very weak then. But after so many years of diligent training, his body has grown from 1.2 meters at six years old to nearly two meters now. This isn't just physical growth; it's also the growth of his martial soul."
"Perhaps we all underestimated the power of having the body as a martial soul. This kind of martial soul is naturally capable of growth, completely breaking through the inherent thinking of the soul master world. You should know that martial soul evolution is something all soul masters dream of, and having the body as a martial soul inherently possesses this advantage, which can be called a miracle in the soul master world."
"And have you noticed that Yang Xiong's current martial soul is completely different from when he was in the Soul Master Competition?"
Tang San was surprised again, "Teacher, if what you say is true, can't this body martial soul grow indefinitely? This would not only improve the quality of the martial soul but even increase the innate soul power level."
Yu Xiaogang smiled bitterly, "It's just as you said. When Yang Xiong first joined Shrek Academy, his soul power level was the lowest among all of you, and even his innate soul power was the lowest among everyone."
"But in just a few years, Yang Xiong has grown to a very terrifying level. His cultivation speed is actually getting faster and faster. In a sense, he has already surpassed you and Xiao Wu, who have innate full soul power."
"Over the years, Yang Xiong has been diligently training his body, likely guessing the changes in his martial soul. And the soul master world lacks methods for spiritual cultivation. Your Purple Demon Eyes can be said to have compensated for his biggest weakness. This way, Yang Xiong's spiritual power and physical fitness are far superior to soul masters of the same level, which is why he can fight above his level and even have Titled Douluo-level combat power during the Soul Saint stage."
"And as he repeatedly breaks through his limits, I can't even imagine how strong Yang Xiong's power will be when he reaches the Titled Douluo stage, especially given Yang Xiong's personality. His last two soul rings will definitely be 100,000-year soul rings."
Tang San was silent for a long time after hearing this, finally gritting his teeth before speaking, "Teacher, I will definitely not lose to Yang Xiong. Although Yang Xiong's martial soul is powerful, my second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, can also add multiple 100,000-year soul rings. I will definitely be stronger than Yang Xiong."
Yu Xiaogang was somewhat relieved then, "Little San, your talent is unparalleled, especially your Clear Sky Hammer, which is the number one tool martial soul in the world. When you reach the Titled Douluo stage, that's when you truly begin to become stronger."
...
After their conversation, their discouraged mood gradually recovered.
"Little San, what arrangements does your father have for your training next? With your current soul power level, I can't give you too much advice anymore."
Tang San quickly replied, "Teacher, according to my father's request, I will return to the Clear Sky Sect as soon as possible. My uncle will personally teach me there, which will also increase the power of my Clear Sky Hammer."
Yu Xiaogang nodded, "Howling Sky Douluo? That's indeed an idea. In the Clear Sky Sect, you can receive the most complete training for the Clear Sky Hammer."
However, at this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face, looking exceptionally conflicted.
Tang San quickly said, "Teacher, just say whatever you want. Is there anything we can't say between us?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, "The Clear Sky Sect can indeed make your Clear Sky Hammer more powerful, but at this stage, what you need to improve is your soul power level. You need to cultivate your Blue Silver Grass to the Titled Douluo stage as soon as possible."
"I know of a place that is very suitable for your cultivation, but it is extremely dangerous. Even with your talent, there might be fatal danger."
"It's a pity that Spirit Hall's ambition has been exposed now, and they probably won't give you time to grow slowly."
Tang San was immediately overjoyed. "Teacher, is there really such a good place in this world? I also want to increase my soul power as quickly as possible."
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "You should know that Spirit Hall currently holds an overwhelming advantage in the entire Soul Master world. Even the Clear Sky Sect suffered a great loss at their hands."
"But there is one power in this world that is completely unafraid of Spirit Hall. In fact, even Spirit Hall has suffered a great loss against them."
Tang San's face immediately lit up. He knew about the Clear Sky Sect's past and his mother's story, but Spirit Hall was simply too vast, something he couldn't possibly shake.
"Teacher, I'm not afraid of danger or pain. Just tell me where this place is."
Yu Xiaogang said, "I once stayed in Spirit Hall for a period of time. I once followed thousands of Spirit Hall Soul Masters to attack a place."
"That place is called Sea God Island. It's a very strange power overseas. Their cultivation methods are a bit different from ours, and even their martial souls are vastly different. Their martial souls are generally based on sea soul beasts or marine creatures."
"Back then, in order to rule that place, Spirit Hall not only sent thousands of Soul Masters but also several Titled Douluo. Unfortunately, as soon as they landed on Sea God Island, they met fierce resistance. Not only was the Soul Master legion dealt a devastating blow, but they also lost two Titled Douluo. This was Spirit Hall's biggest failure in the past hundred years."
