Although Tang Hao did not acknowledge him as his son at the beginning, after seeing Tang San’s martial soul, his attitude changed instantly. This made Tang San feel it was strange, but he did not delve into it. After all, in his heart, his father always had his reasons.
"Third Brother, you’re back!" Ma Hongjun said with a "hehe" laugh, but his eyes were sowhat unfocused, as if hiding so secret.
"Mmm," Tang San responded faintly, but his heart was surprised by Ma Hongjun’s form of address. This fatty usually called him by his full na. Why had he suddenly changed his tune to "Third Brother" today?
He frowned slightly. His figure flashed, and he wrapped his arm around Ma Hongjun’s neck, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness. "Fatty, is there sothing on your mind?"
Ma Hongjun’s body stiffened. He stamred and denied, "No... no."
Tang San’s eyes narrowed into a slit, clearly not believing his words. "Then why did you suddenly call ’Third Brother’? Didn’t you usually just call ’Tang San’?"
Ma Hongjun swallowed his saliva and smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, Third Brother, you are now the owner of a Soul Vein, and also the direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect. Of course, I have to be more respectful. You don’t know, that day when Sect Master Tang went to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, when Dean Flender told us about your matter, we were all stunned."
"Oh? Is that so?" Tang San smiled, but the doubt in the depths of his eyes had not completely dissipated. He always felt that this fatty was hiding sothing in his heart but didn’t want to say it out loud.
"Of course it is, Third Brother. Look, after I knew Dai Mubai was a Star Luo prince, didn’t I also call him ’Boss Dai’?" Ma Hongjun said, at the sa ti trying to struggle out from under Tang San’s arm. But Tang San’s strength made it impossible for him to move.
"Alright, I’ll believe you for now," Tang San released his hand, but his gaze was still as sharp as a knife. "However, if there’s anything you’re hiding from ... don’t forget that we in Shrek are of one heart. If there’s a problem, we solve it together."
Ma Hongjun let out a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing in his heart. His face was full of smiles as he hurriedly nodded. "Don’t worry, Third Brother. If there’s really sothing, I’ll definitely be the first to find you."
Find your Ruyan.
Ma Hongjun grinned, complaining in his heart, "I have to say, Yu Ruyan has so many tricks. She’s even better at playing than the won in the brothels. Third Brother, oh Third Brother, anyway, you’re pure and innocent. After you see Yu Ruyan for who she is, you won’t continue to be with her. You might as well just let your little brother get so for free for a while."
"By the way, why are you at the hotel entrance?"
"Ah? ? Oh oh, I just ate—ate a al. I went out for a walk to digest. Today’s abalone was very good."
"Is that so? It’s only just past noon. No wonder you’re fat."
Tang San shook his head and walked towards the residence he shared with Yu Ruyan. This fellow, without the immortal herb in this life, he doesn’t even have the qualification to beco a god. Oh right, this fellow was dissatisfied with in the Divine Realm. Was it because of Bai Chenxiang?
Didn’t I just not let you bring her up? Didn’t Yu Xiaogang also not go? And you were still autistic in that temple for so long, and ca out with a stinky face. Tsk, in this life, you can just stay in the human world.
You’re not the only one with this kind of experience. Isn’t Zhou Weiqing next door also the sa? Doesn’t he also have relatives who didn’t ascend to the upper realm?
Ma Hongjun watched the departing Tang San and let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. So close, he was almost caught cheating.
Tsk, did that fellow do anything with Yu Ruyan last night or not? That woman is like a juicer. Even the bonus brought by his mutated martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, couldn’t hold up. Could it be that Tang San just went in for a look last night and then ca right out?
Tang San pushed the door open. Seeing Yu Ruyan sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking sowhat weak, he couldn’t help but feel a love and pity for her. Ruyan’s first ti must have been too tiring. She’s still in bed now.
"Ruyan, I’m back."
"Third Brother!" Yu Ruyan’s eyes lit up. She put on a look of pleasant surprise, her voice carrying a hint of weakness and charm. "You’re back. I missed you so much."
Tang San quickly walked to the bedside, gently took Yu Ruyan’s hand, his eyes full of tenderness. "Ruyan, what’s wrong with you? You look a little unwell."
"Aiya, it’s nothing."
After a month of teaching, Tang San had a deeper understanding of Lin Feng. This fellow indeed had so insights in the research of martial soul theory.
Although he was sowhat unwilling to admit it, he had to say that the Blue Silver Grass should have taken the path of life. One recovery, one strong attack, was what his later self should have been like. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to change his bones and soul rings.
Although the current Blue Silver Grass was the Dark Blue Silver Grass and couldn’t carry a pure and noble aura like the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San knew very well that the essence of a martial soul lay in how the soul master used and cultivated it.
Just as Grandmaster Wet had said, there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.
Devouring life force also carried the life attribute~
As for what Lin Feng had told him, that the subsequent Soul Vein positions would be at the five organs of the path, he was sowhat surprised. What surprised him was not that the Soul Veins would be in the five organs, but that the order of shaping the Soul Veins was very much in line with the order of the five elents generating each other.
This made Tang San can’t help but look at him sideways.
---
"Ready?"
Lin Feng looked at the crowd in the classroom.
Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, Yan, Xie Yue.
Tang San, Yu Tianheng.
Lin Feng looked at the positions of the few people with great interest. "Are you planning to team up like this? Aren’t you going to choose your teammates properly? Also," Lin Feng looked at Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and the other factions, "you’re not participating?"
"Xue Qinghe" cupped his hands. "This one’s age does not et the requirents. I can only regret it this once."
Dai Weishi also said the sa.
Lin Feng pondered for a mont. "How about this? For this trial, everyone will proceed individually. Each soul master of a different faction will have different assessnt content. Auxiliary-type soul masters will be assessed on healing and buffing; power-attack-type soul masters will be tested on their burst power and continuous combat ability; agility-attack-type will focus on speed and evasion skills; control-type will need to display their grasp of the battlefield’s rhythm and strategic layout. For every assessnt passed, a corresponding reward will be given based on performance. The paths belonging to each type of soul master have already been arranged by in the grotto-heaven. You can just enter directly."
"As for the final assessnt, that will be ."
Lin Feng smiled faintly.
Tang San frowned. "Your Highness, Holy Son, what does this final test an? Do we have to fight you?"
"If you are a combat-type soul master. Auxiliary-type soul masters will compete with in buffing and healing."
Tang San’s gaze flickered for a mont. What on earth is this fellow talking about? Does he think he is omnipotent? Tang Xiao said this fellow’s burst could fight a Titled Douluo. I wonder if it’s true or false. He has only made a move outside that one ti, and the ti when Tang Hao was castrated, when he made his flying debut.
Speaking of which, what exactly are this fellow’s soul skills?
"Your Highness, Holy Son, you are one person. You can’t possibly be both auxiliary and power-attack, can you? You are a theory master. You shouldn’t be unaware of the principle of being a jack of all trades, master of none, right?" Tang San said quietly.
The corner of Lin Feng’s mouth hooked up. "Well said. But I am different. You will all see later," he flicked Hu Liena on the forehead without thinking. "What are you dazed for? Get ready to set off!"
Hu Liena stuck out her tongue. Ever since Teacher Pope had said she would arrange the matter of Lin Feng for her, a long ti had passed. During this ti, she hadn’t done anything else.
She had just watched Lin Feng take Ah Yin, Ling Yuan, and Qian Renxue for a stroll in Spirit City.
The small wooden house in the forest, it was unknown if so taboo existed. She couldn’t even go there. That Ah Yin had clearly co later. How had she gotten ahead of her? Teacher Pope had also directly moved into the small wooden house, living a two-point, one-line life of Pope’s Hall—small wooden house, as if she had forgotten about her.
In fact, Bibi Dong had really forgotten about her.
It was hard to get a chance to see Lin Feng. Naturally, she had to have a good look. Hu Liena thought, if it really didn’t work, after coming back from the grotto-heaven this ti, she would just go and block Teacher Pope’s door. How can you go back on sothing you promised ?
Lin Feng shook his head. What is the little fox thinking about again?
"Well then, we set off. Do not resist."
As he spoke, Lin Feng waved his hand. Everyone present floated up into the air and flew towards the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven.
Experiencing this scene, Tang San and Yu Tianheng looked at each other in shock.
Yu Tianheng directly exclaid, "This... is this also a soul skill? Teacher Lin Feng, aren’t you just a Soul Emperor? Can your soul skill still carry other people?"
Tang San’s heart was also shocked, but on the surface, he still maintained his composure. He quickly analyzed the situation before him. The ability Lin Feng displayed was far beyond his understanding of a Soul Emperor-level soul master. To be able to make so many people float in the air at the sa ti and easily bring them to the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven, this kind of control and use of soul power was sothing that even a Titled Douluo would find difficult to do easily.
This feeling, is it gravity? Very similar to Er Ming’s domain...
The Soul Veins make soul skills return to their original simplicity. His soul skill is related to gravity, so it evolved this skill?
Thinking of this, Tang San’s face turned black. His own first soul skill was mother’s bind. After the soul ring transford into a Soul Vein, it only increased the toughness and range of change of the Blue Silver Grass. The effect was basically not much different from the original. What was this? It was said that the Soul Veins could make soul skills transform.
As for the second soul skill, Absorption, it was originally already leaning towards Devouring. It could be said to be a single property. The Soul Veins had deepened the speed and quality of the devouring.
So, his soul skills hadn’t changed much? As for the matter of the first soul skill’s change, how could binding change? He thought in his heart.
Dugu Yan snorted. "Like you’ve never seen the world. Brother Lin Feng is very strong."
Ning Rongrong looked at her lower body with novelty. "Hehe, in the past, I had Grandpa Jian and Grandpa Bone take to fly. This is the first ti without physical contact. This way it really feels like I’m flying myself!"
Ye Lingling’s face was sowhat pale. "Brother Xiao Feng, can... can I hold Yanyan’s hand?"
Lin Feng was sowhat surprised. He knocked himself on the head. Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were both little witches. Hu Liena had experienced it early on. Ye Lingling’s personality was gentle and weak. It was normal for her to be a little unaccustod.
"It was who was a bit inconsiderate."
As he spoke, Lin Feng put Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling together. Ye Lingling grabbed Dugu Yan’s hand, and only then did her face relax a little.
"Lingling, are you afraid of heights?"
Ye Lingling’s face turned red. "No... no."
Dugu Yan giggled and whispered in her ear, "Were you wanting to say you wanted to hold your Brother Xiao Feng’s hand just now?"
Ye Lingling glared at Dugu Yan. "Don’t make trouble..."
Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong pouted, then looked at each other and snorted.
Xie Yue glanced at Yan and found that this fellow had no reaction. He couldn’t help but be a little surprised. "Hey, what’s with you?"
Yan glanced at him. "I have already seen through the mortal world. You don’t understand. The won of the world are all but pink-powdered skeletons," he had a look of calm indifference, a profound and mysterious appearance, as if he had already transcended the secular world and no longer cared about anything around him.
Hearing this, the corner of Xie Yue’s mouth twitched. He cursed in his heart, "Aren’t you, my brother, putting on an act in front of ?"
He shouted in the direction of the few girls, "Hey! There’s soone here who says won are all pink-powdered... mmph mmph."
Yan’s eyes widened. That masterly deanor was no longer there. He hurriedly covered Xie Yue’s mouth. "Holy crap, I was just kidding!"
Seeing the few girls send him a "kind" look, Yan’s scalp went numb. He smiled awkwardly. "That... what I ant was pink-powdered beauties, pink-powdered beauties."
Tang San watched this scene and suddenly felt a little nostalgic. It was a pity that this kind of happiness now belonged to others.
As everyone gradually adapted to the state of flying, Lin Feng led them through layers of clouds and mist, finally landing at the entrance of the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven. Within the grotto-heaven, the spiritual qi was abundant, and various strange flowers and herbs dotted it, as if they had stepped into a fairyland isolated from the world.
"This is the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven. Next, you will undergo a trial here. Rember, the trial is not only a test of your strength, but also a tempering of your mind," Lin Feng’s voice echoed in the grotto-heaven, carrying a trace of seriousness.
Tang San looked at the layout of this Weiyu Grotto-Heaven with so surprise. This kind of place, how did he find it?
The worldly primordial qi is so abundant. It’s simply a holy land tailor-made for a soul master’s cultivation. And, the layout here seems to contain so deep aning, able to guide the flow of the worldly primordial qi.
And this dissipating life force, this is... the Gold of Life!
Tang San opened his mouth. That’s right, it’s this thing. There’s a piece of free-roaming Gold of Life here?
Tang San’s eyes imdiately lit up. This was a good thing! With it, wouldn’t his cultivation speed improve by a thousand li in a day? He had to find it! Sure enough, heaven favored him. Even if his fated trajectory had changed so much, there was still an opportunity waiting for him!
"Wow, Brother Lin Feng, this place is so beautiful!" Ning Rongrong exclaid in amazent, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitent. The other few also expressed their amazent one after another, clearly shocked by the beautiful scenery of the Weiyu Grotto-Heaven.
Lin Feng smiled faintly and explained, "The Weiyu Grotto-Heaven is not just a trial ground, but also a natural cultivation treasure land. The worldly primordial qi here is dense and of great benefit to your cultivation. And, there are also so opportunities hidden within the grotto-heaven. It just depends on whether you can find them. The passage ahead is the path you must walk."
Everyone looked and saw that the passage ahead was winding and crooked, as if clouds and mist were swirling, and as if endless light were sparkling. Each passage emitted a different aura.
Tang San was the first to move, quickly running towards the passage for control-type soul masters. The others also moved one after another.
In the passage, the light was bright one mont and dark the next, as if they had stepped into another world. Tang San cautiously advanced, always vigilant of the changes around him. He could feel that the worldly primordial qi here was even denser than outside, even having a feeling of being substantial.
I chose right! The Gold of Life must be at the front of this passage!
Lin Feng walked to a place, stroked his chin, the corner of his mouth hooking up.
The Yin Power of his left arm was shockingly activated, gathering at the soles of his feet. Ripples blood under his feet. Along with the spread of the ripples...
A person who looked exactly the sa as Lin Feng floated out from it.
"Mmm, a little more skilled. A pity, it is ultimately yin-attributed and lacks yang; this body cannot beco a true ’solid entity’, but it’s enough. Yin Power shapes the spirit and life, while Yang Power bestows the physical body and strength. When yin and yang et, only then is it complete."
The other Lin Feng opened his eyes. He looked at his own state. "Is this considered another kind of shadow clone now?"
It had to be said that the feeling of talking to oneself was quite strange. Talking to oneself had beco a face-to-face version of talking to oneself. But Lin Feng didn’t want to try too much, to save himself from getting schizophrenia. He quickly cut off the spiritual connection with his clone.
"Guard here. I’ll be right back."
"Alright."
Lin Feng’s gaze moved, and he walked towards Tang San’s direction.
"It’s just ahead!"
Tang San was pleasantly surprised and quickened his pace. As he walked out of the passage, what entered his eyes was a lake, in which the life force was extrely vigorous.
He looked around. On the way to the lake, there was a platform. From the looks of it, it was a necessary path.
He slowed his pace. A chanical sound was heard a few tis on his body. His right hand was lowered, his middle finger pressed on a chanism.
"Mmm?!"
The mont he stepped on the platform, Tang San suddenly paused. His footsteps could no longer move a single bit. From the edge of the platform, a golden, transparent light shield gradually condensed, completely enveloping this platform.
His vision beca a blur of brilliant light, and he couldn’t see anything more than a zhang away.
"Grotto-Heaven Questioning Love, Sincere Heart Adventure, begin."
A voice that was impossible to tell if it was male or female sounded in Tang San’s ear. Tang San’s two eyes suddenly widened. What did he hear?
This is another location left by the God of Love?
Impossible!
"Who is it! Co out!"
"You... do you have a lover?"
Hearing these words, Tang San’s face changed greatly. It was true that the God of Love had left behind the Qiankun Questioning Love Valley, but it had long since been abandoned and had been used by him. His questions for Huo Yuhao’s group were all out of his own selfish desires. How could this kind of question also be replicated?
"Do you have a lover? If you do not answer after being asked three tis, the punishnt will be death."
"Who on earth are you! Who in the Divine Realm are you! Huo Yuhao! It’s you! You ca too!"
So that’s how it is. Lin Feng’s gaze turned cold.
"To answer a question with a question is to show contempt. You should be punished!"
A golden light and shadow crashed down on Tang San. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. All the bones in his body seed to have broken at this mont. The intense pain made him almost unable to breathe. Tang San forcibly endured the pain, but his heart was in a monstrous wave.
The golden light and shadow transford into a chain, leashing his neck like a dog. It gradually tightened. The whites of Tang San’s eyes began to show, and his consciousness beca blurry.
"I do."
Tang San struggled to spit out these two words. Only then did the chain stop contracting and return to its normal size, but it was still leashed around his neck.
"Ha—ha—"
He lay on the ground, panting heavily. Just now, he was only one step away from death! Who on earth was this? Which fellow had also co over with the spaceti turbulence?
The voice continued.
"Who is she?"
"Xiao Wu," this ti, he answered quickly. No matter who the other party was, it was better to stay alive first. He would settle the score with him later! A gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
"Incorrect. You should be punished!"
The golden chain suddenly contracted. At the sa ti, a golden whip fiercely lashed at Tang San’s body.
"Pa pa pa!"
Ah!
Tang San let out a miserable cry. The pain was secondary. This humiliation was what enraged him the most.
"Xiao Wu and Yu Ruyan!"
The attack stopped once again.
"Who do you love more?"
"Xiao Wu!"
The voice sneered. "Then what about Yu Ruyan? Are you worthy of her?"
Tang San frowned deeply. "I have always loved Xiao Wu. Yu Ruyan is a crack in my heart. I love her as well, but very little."
"What if one day, Tang Hao becos a fallen soul master and wants Yu Ruyan to die to help him cultivate? What would you choose?"
Tang San frowned fiercely. "Father would never beco like that!"
The mont his voice fell, the chain tightened a few degrees. He hurriedly answered, "I choose my father!"
"Reason."
"Father will never do wrong. If it really were like that, there must be so reason. ’Fallen soul master’ is also a wrongly forced title. If he wants to kill Ruyan, then it must be Ruyan’s fault!"
"To be unfaithful to love, and to be foolishly loyal to one’s father is to be unfilial. You should be punished!"
The golden whip once again lashed at his body, whipping his three souls and seven spirits until they smoked. His pupils were sowhat scattered. Why? A monstrous hatred filled Tang San’s heart. He’s saying all my lines!
"The last question. Answer correctly, and it will be considered as passing the first stage. You... do you want the souls of this world’s Yu Ruyan and Xiao Wu to rge?"
Pfft—
Tang San spat out a pool of blood. He had thought about this question long ago. The answer was yes. He had a precedent for rging monsters. He didn’t mind trying it himself.
"Huo Yuhao! It must be you! You co out! You have chosen the path to death! Ahhh!!!"
His two eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting like an ox.
He scread like a madman, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he was completely unaware of the pain. The golden chain trembled with his anger, as if also responding to the struggle and unwillingness in his heart.
The whip struck his body one after another, making his flesh burst open.
I’m going to die!
I’m going to die!
I’m going to die!
Tang San shed a tear of ultimate humiliation. "I’ve thought about it."
The voice let out a loud laugh. "As expected of the pure and innocent God-King Tang!"
