Chapter 86: Tang Hao Makes a Mistake, Tang San's Small Flaw Left Behind
"You mentioning this actually reminded me."
"Without the Emperor Xue Ye as a buyer, who will I sell these spirit medicines to?"
Qin Xiao frowned, "But whether the Emperor Xue Ye is alive or dead, I have no control over that."
"Hehe, kid, now you know you're at a loss."
Dugu Bo rarely saw Qin Xiao at a disadvantage and couldn't help but laugh.
Comfortable.
However, the next moment, his expression turned ugly.
Qin Xiao came to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and actually pulled out some spirit medicines.
"What are you doing?"
Dugu Bo was anxious, "Even if you don't need them, you shouldn't waste these spirit medicines like this."
His heart was bleeding.
"Who said I'm wasting these spirit medicines?"
Qin Xiao smiled, "I'm just using everything to its fullest."
As he spoke, he approached the Blue Silver Emperor and, with powerful soul force, crushed the spirit medicines in his hand into powder, sprinkling it on the soil around the Blue Silver Emperor.
Soon, the powder from these spirit medicines was absorbed by the Blue Silver Emperor.
"It's actually being used to nourish a Blue Silver Grass?!"
Beside him, Dugu Yan was shocked. Each of these spirit medicines was a precious treasure for her grandfather Dugu Bo. Now, not only were they used as feed, but they were also used to nourish common weeds?
"Qin Xiao, stop it!"
"What are you doing? You're wasting precious items!"
Dugu Bo pointed at Qin Xiao, shaking with anger.
In his eyes, the value of any spirit medicine equaled countless Blue Silver Grass. Qin Xiao was not just wasting; he was committing a heinous act.
"Using things to their fullest is what gives them value."
"Even the most precious spirit medicine, I think it's no different from common weeds if left untouched."
Qin Xiao said lightly, then pulled out more spirit medicines and continued the process.
He intended to use these spirit medicines as fertilizer to accelerate the growth of the Blue Silver Emperor.
As for whether the Blue Silver Emperor could withstand such a massive influx of power, he wasn't worried. After all, the Blue Silver Emperor's foundation was there. Previously, it was a Spirit Beast with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation, and now, with the sacrifice of the Blue Silver King, it had cultivation of tens of thousands of years. Absorbing these spirit medicines shouldn't be a problem.
"Is this human behavior?"
"At least humans shouldn't do this!"
Dugu Bo was in pain, but besides feeling pain, he couldn't do anything. After all, this was Qin Xiao's territory, and even if Qin Xiao destroyed it, it wouldn't be his concern.
"Grandfather, you must be strong."
"I believe there's a reason for his majesty to do this."
Dugu Yan, who could understand Dugu Bo's feelings, tried to comfort him.
"Yanzi, if you're going to comfort me, do it properly. Can you stop twisting your elbows outward?"
Dugu Bo said impatiently.
"Where did I..."
"I just believe that his majesty wouldn't make a wrong decision."
Dugu Yan lowered her head and looked at her toes.
"Hehe, is he right?"
"If he's right, I'll drink this Yin and Yang well in front of me!"
Dugu Bo pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes angrily.
"Uh..."
Dugu Yan was stunned. Did he have to make such a vicious oath?
"Grandfather, if you are upset, I suggest you be more cautious. In case his majesty does something amazing again, what will you do?"
She reminded him softly.
"Hehe, impossible."
Dugu Bo sneered, "Let's just wait and see."
Gradually.
Dugu Bo felt numb.
Born near a spring, most of the high-quality spirit medicines had been destroyed.
He secretly estimated that these spirit medicines, converted into gold soul coins, would probably be astronomical figures.
In contrast, Qin Xiao didn't even blink an eye. He stared intently at the Blue Silver Grass, waiting for the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change.
"Hehe, don't be impulsive. There will be a time for you to cry."
Dugu Bo sneered in his heart and said, "I really want to see what changes this Blue Silver Grass can undergo."
Subconsciously, he shifted his focus to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Suddenly, he was stunned.
"What's going on? When did golden patterns appear on the Blue Silver Grass?"
He had been focusing on the destroyed spirit medicines before and only now realized that the Blue Silver Grass seemed different from before.
"Hey, this grass is glowing!"
At this moment, Dugu Yan, who was working alongside Dugu Bo, also noticed something unusual.
She was surprised.
"Almost there, even the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes can't completely suppress it now."
Qin Xiao's face finally showed a hint of joy. He knew that the Blue Silver Grass had probably reached its limit of a hundred thousand years.
"Dugu Bo, you didn't believe that the Blue Silver Grass would become a beauty, right? Take a closer look now."
He shouted loudly towards the concentrated Dugu Bo.
"Tsk, you're just boasting. I don't believe it."
Almost without any hesitation, Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Qin Xiao.
"Hehe, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Now you can explain to your granddaughter."
Qin Xiao coldly smiled, "After all, this Yin and Yang well is not that easy to drink."
"You're just boasting."
Dugu Bo would naturally not believe Qin Xiao's words. Even if the Blue Silver Grass had unexpected changes, if someone told him it would transform into a human, he would still think it was nonsense.
"Break!"
Suddenly, Qin Xiao shouted.
A terrifying soul power fluctuation erupted, like a sharp sword, smashing the powerful domain around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
Rip!
Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and even the third elder of the Haotian Sect who was working in the distance could clearly hear the sound of tearing fabric.
"Is he crazy?"
"Why is he attacking the air?"
Dugu Bo subconsciously thought.
However, the next scene left him dumbfounded.
Without the suppression of the domain, the Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns began to grow wildly.
In an instant, it grew to more than ten meters high, like a giant tree.
"Ah, this..."
Dugu Bo was astonished and couldn't close his mouth.
I'll continue with the translation:
However, by his side, Dugu Yan's face turned pale, and she trembled slightly.
All because the soul power erupting from the Blue Silver Grass at this moment was too powerful.
Even though she had become a Soul Ancestor, she was powerless to resist.
"Grandpa, grandpa, what cultivation level does this Blue Silver Grass have now?"
She asked with a trembling voice.
She was secretly shocked; it was the first time she had seen such a powerful soul beast from childhood to adulthood.
What's even more outrageous is that it's actually a Blue Silver Grass!
Absolutely incredible!
"Yanzi, be careful."
Dugu Bo belatedly pulled Dugu Yan behind him, helping her resist the powerful soul power emanating from the Blue Silver Grass.
Gulu.
Even Dugu Yan could clearly hear Dugu Bo swallowing saliva vigorously.
But even so, Dugu Bo's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Yanzi, this Blue Silver Grass is extraordinary. Even if I tell you, you might not believe it; it's very likely that it already has a cultivation of a hundred thousand years."
"How much? A hundred thousand years?" Dugu Yan was shocked, "Does that mean..."
"Yes, what Qin Xiao said is very likely true." Dugu Bo nodded with difficulty, "This Blue Silver Grass is really extraordinary."
At this moment, waves of shock also surged in Dugu Bo's heart.
Qin Xiao was really mysterious.
Casually bringing back a grass could actually grow into a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
"How is it?"
"Dugu Bo, do you still think my actions are not worth it?"
At this moment, Qin Xiao's voice entered Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and others' ears.
It was not difficult to hear the undisguised mockery in her tone.
Gulu.
Dugu Bo subconsciously looked at the Yin-Yang pot and swallowed another mouthful of saliva.
He forced a smile on his face, "Worth it, totally worth it. Even if I use all these spirit medicines and exchange for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it's a huge profit. It's not a loss at all."
Dugu Bo hurriedly replied.
This was also the truth.
After all, the value of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to a Soul Master was truly immense.
In other words, it was the dream pursued by countless Soul Masters throughout their lives!
Something that seemed almost unattainable.
"When do you plan to fulfill your previous promise?"
Qin Xiao asked again.
"Promise? Did I say anything before?"
Dugu Bo suddenly showed a puzzled and bewildered look, a look of complete ignorance.
"Hehe, Dugu Bo, well done, learning to play dumb now?"
"You are the face of a Title Douluo, aren't you?"
Qin Xiao sneered.
"What is a face?"
"Can you eat it?"
Dugu Bo decided to play dumb to the end.
Behind him, Dugu Yan couldn't help but support her forehead. She even lowered her head in embarrassment.
She silently criticized in her heart, Grandpa, where is your integrity as a Title Douluo?
It's all gone.
On the other hand, Dugu Bo seemed indifferent. He had lost his life, so what use was there for face?
Moreover, there were no outsiders here, and nobody would know if he lost face.
Wait a minute.
There is still one outsider.
He thought and looked at the third elder of the Haotian Sect.
There was a sinister intention in his heart.
On the contrary, the reaction speed of the third elder was also very fast.
He shook his head continuously, "Old people like me are useless, already starting to get deaf and blind, can't see far, can't hear clearly. Sigh."
Obviously, his operation demonstrated a strong will to survive.
Dugu Bo also secretly planned to settle the score with the third elder later.
At most, next time when feeding the medicine, increase the dosage a bit. In case he accidentally poisons the third elder to death, this person's head can also be counted on Qin Xiao.
"Grandpa, look, that Blue Silver Grass is changing again!"
Suddenly, Dugu Yan peeked out her little head behind Dugu Bo, surprised.
"Really?"
Dugu Bo once again looked towards Qin Xiao, and he was momentarily stunned.
Just as Dugu Yan said, the Blue Silver Grass had indeed changed.
Instead of growing upward, it was now weaving and converging countless vines together, like a silkworm cocoon.
"This, is this..."
"Could it be that she is about to undergo Nirvana rebirth?"
Dugu Bo thought of a possibility.
Or rather, this hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass—no, it should be called the Blue Silver Emperor—was about to transform?
Time passed second by second.
Qin Xiao ignored Dugu Bo and focused intently on the green cocoon in front of him.
Crack, crack, crack.
Finally, changes occurred again.
Qin Xiao could clearly see fine cracks appearing on the cocoon, spreading like a spider web.
And the gaps in the cracks were getting larger.
Swish, swish, swish.
Immediately after, waves of green light emerged from the cracks.
"Is it going to break out of the cocoon?"
Qin Xiao sensed the life force emanating from the green cocoon, and his face was filled with anticipation.
Blue Silver Emperor, said to be a gentle and watery woman.
On the other side, Tang San woke up in a daze.
"I'm not dead."
He said instinctively.
The kind of piercing pain when the martial soul was abolished made him feel unbearable.
Shouting, he fell into a coma, completely losing consciousness.
"It's fine, how could you die?"
At this moment, Tang Hao's face appeared before him.
Tang San quickly stood up with both hands supporting the ground, shook his head, feeling a bit clearer. He then asked, "Dad, is it over already?"
Tang Hao nodded at his words, showing a rare smile, "The process of abolishing the martial soul was more successful than I imagined. After your Blue Silver Grass martial soul was abolished, it had no effect on your Haotian Hammer.
In other words, with the innate soul power of your Haotian Hammer martial soul, your future prospects are limitless. It's not impossible to become a peerless figure like my ancestor Tang Chen, the founder of Haotian Sect.
Compared to this great success, the little flaw on you can be almost negligible."
Success?
My path to becoming a Title Douluo is not cut off!
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San was filled with immense joy.
His previous worry was that after the martial soul was abolished, there would be some limitation on his future growth. Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.
"Without the Blue Silver Emperor, it doesn't matter. At least, I don't have to worry about the imbalance of martial souls, and I can practice with peace of mind.
Moreover, I have the peerless mental technique of Tang Sect and the top-notch hidden weapons. Even with only one martial soul, it is enough to make me a peak powerhouse on the Douluo Continent!"
Tang San thought, squeezing his fist tightly.
Excitement and joy filled his heart.
With wide seas and skies, birds can fly freely.
At this moment, he felt just
like that.
"Dad, rest assured, in the future, I will make Qin Xiao and those elders of Haotian Sect pay the price!"
After calming down, Tang San looked at Tang Hao and said solemnly.
"Good!"
"Not in vain as my son Tang Hao!"
Tang Hao patted Tang San's shoulder heavily, looking pleased.
"By the way, Dad, what's the little flaw you mentioned?"
Suddenly, Tang San remembered Tang Hao's words and asked with confusion.
"This..."
Tang Hao's gaze flickered, and his expression became somewhat strange.
It was rare for him to hesitate and be indecisive.
Seeing this, Tang San was a bit puzzled, "Dad, you mentioned a minor flaw, just tell me directly; I can handle it."
Exhaling, Tang Hao let out a breath and nodded, "Alright."
"Then let me ask you, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
"Discomfort?" Tang San shook his head, "No, I feel perfectly fine."
"Sigh, just as I suspected. You really have no perception."
Tang Hao sighed.
"No perception?"
"Dad, what do you mean?"
Tang San felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Ah." Tang Hao sighed again, "You'll understand when you feel it yourself."
It probably wasn't good news!
Tang San's sense of foreboding grew stronger, and he followed Tang Hao's instructions to move around.
Head and neck, no issues.
Both hands, no issues.
Even his feet were fine.
"Isn't everything good?" he wondered.
However, as he thought about it, he discovered something was wrong.
Oh no!
There's a problem between my legs!
Tang San panicked, feeling emptiness between his legs.
"It couldn't be gone?"
He was shocked, hastily reaching down.
"It's still there."
"But why can't I feel anything?"
He was dumbfounded, looking at Tang Hao, "Can you explain this to me?"
"Little San, listen to my explanation."
"Listen to me."
Tang Hao's face showed embarrassment, "It all began when I abolished your martial soul. It was a highly complicated process; I used soul power to shatter your martial soul. There was a moment of hesitation, and I lost control slightly, causing you to be affected. Luckily, I managed to regain control of the soul power in time, or else it would have exploded!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His mind went blank.
He sat down on the ground, utterly devastated.
In summary, when Tang Hao abolished his martial soul, not only did he abolish his martial soul, but he also abolished him!
"Is this the 'minor flaw' you mentioned?"
He couldn't contain the anger in his voice, questioning Tang Hao, "I've lost my ability to reproduce, and you call this a minor flaw? You know, I'm still just a kid!"
Tang San's voice carried a hint of crying; his heart was on the verge of collapse.
Even a man couldn't bear such a blow.
Moreover, with two lifetimes as a person, he felt the damage caused by Tang Hao was double.
"Little San, you need to understand, this was truly an accident."
Tang Hao furrowed his brow, speaking in a deep voice, "You're my son; I wouldn't intentionally harm you."
Tang San: (╥﹏╥)o
In reality, he had begun to suspect that Tang Hao deliberately targeted him.
"You might as well have let it explode. That way, I wouldn't have any regrets now."
"What is it now, just an ornament?"
"But it hurts every time I look at it."
Tang San couldn't hold back any longer; tears streamed down his face.
In this moment, he no longer felt the carefree joy of vast seas and skies.
It was stifling.
Too damn stifling.
At this moment, he even had the impulse, if he could defeat Tang Hao, to make Tang Hao experience the feeling of utter despair.
"Little San, cheer up."
"You need to know; in this world, a man's lifelong pursuit is not only about personal relationships."
"Strength, supreme power, can also be your pursuit."
Tang Hao attempted to console Tang San.
"No, I don't want to listen."
Tang San shook his head, "I just want to know how to face Xiao Wu in the future. Boyfriend and girlfriend? That's obviously not appropriate. Calling her a sister? I can't accept that!"
Undoubtedly, Tang San didn't listen to Tang Hao's words.
He didn't want to listen.
Now, Tang San just wished time could reverse and give him back everything he lost. He didn't want to play anymore.
"Humph!"
"Enough!"
Finally, Tang Hao's good temper dissipated at this moment, "Look at what you've become now? Crying over personal relationships. If I knew you were this spineless, I should've abolished your Blue Silver Grass martial soul long ago and sacrificed it to your mother."
He felt a deep regret.
He regretted his decision even more now.
Tang San remained silent.
Tang Hao angrily shouted, "Stand up!"
This shout carried a powerful soul force, instantly causing Tang San's ears to ring.
However, Tang San's face finally showed a different expression.
Fear.
He knew Tang Hao was angry.
Immediately, he stood up.
"You are my son, Tang Hao's son. No matter what, you cannot show weakness."
"You have to be strong!"
Tang Hao said with emphasis.
"Be strong?"
"Tough?"
At this moment, the words "strong" and "tough" sounded so harsh to Tang San.
He even suspected whether Tang Hao was deliberately mocking him.
Just because of Tang Hao's formidable presence, he didn't dare to show any signs of questioning or resistance. He could only nod silently.
In his heart, however, he harbored even greater resentment towards Tang Hao.
With Tang San's character of "an eye for an eye," how could he endure this!
Of course, he had to endure it, and now he couldn't show any signs of rebellion.
"Good!"
"This is my good son!"
At this moment, Tang Hao's expression softened slightly. He placed his hands on Tang San's shoulders, saying with a deep voice, "Remember, people will only be sad for a while, not for a lifetime. In difficult times, clench your teeth, endure it, and things will eventually get better."
"Dad, I understand what you're saying."
Tang San nodded slowly. In his heart, he couldn't help but sneer. Haha, who doesn't know these high-sounding principles? If we switched positions, I would definitely be better at it than you!
"Well, now that we've opened up the conversation between father and son, everything in the past is considered over. Let's talk about my arrangements for you."
After hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San suddenly snapped out of it.
I'm like this, and you still want to make arrangements for me? Your arranged tasks haven't been smoothly completed.
Since leaving Shrek Academy, Tang San felt like every day was a nightmare.
He really wanted to say to Tang Hao, "Don't arrange anything for me; I just want some quiet time."
Of course, Tang Hao didn't care about what Tang San was thinking. He continued, "Originally, I planned to let you study at the Thunderclap Academy established by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. After all, the three major sects are closely related."
However, as Tang Hao spoke, he remembered the actions of the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and an awkward expression crossed his face.
"Well, what I mean is, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family is not comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect controlled by Ning Fengzhi. I believe they won't forget the old affection, and they will be willing to let you study at Thunderclap Academy.
But with the recent events, I have to change my mind."
"So, how do you plan to torture me and arrange things for me?" Tang San asked again.
Tang Hao: (.)
"With your current state of mind, it's not suitable for you to enter the academy for study. You need to experience something elsewhere."
"Where to?"
"Slaughter City!"
"What's that place?" Tang San's heart trembled upon hearing the name "Slaughter City." Just from the name, he felt a surge of bloody aura.
As if he could see a bloody Shura hell!
"That's a paradise for slaughter, and only there can your emotions be released. It won't leave any troubles for your future cultivation."
"On the Douluo Continent, there is such a place, why have I never heard the teacher mention it?"
"Heh, Yu Xiaogang is ultimately just a great soul master, and he has no combat power. Besides what he read from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and the Martial Soul Hall, what does he really understand?"
Tang Hao couldn't help but sneer, "The true secrets of the Douluo Continent are not recorded in any books, nor will they ever be recorded in any books."
After listening to Tang Hao's words, Tang San fell silent.
He increasingly realized the immense power of sects on the Douluo Continent.
Compared to them, those weak soul masters were like blind and deaf people.
"Enough, let's not talk about Xiaogang anymore."
Tang Hao looked at Tang San and continued, "Before entering Slaughter City, you need to improve your strength."
"Originally, I planned to wait for you to cultivate your Blue Silver Grass martial soul to level fifty and then add soul rings to your Clear Sky Hammer. By then, your Clear Sky Hammer would have at least a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
But now that your Blue Silver Grass is gone, we have no choice. We must add soul rings to your Clear Sky Hammer now. With your current strength, each soul ring will have a lifespan of at least three thousand years, which, placed in the history of the Douluo Continent, is already quite remarkable.
With three soul rings each exceeding three thousand years, coupled with the Clear Sky Hammer's characteristics, it should be enough to make your physical strength, in terms of pure physical power, not inferior to Soul Masters, Soul Kings, or even stronger Soul Masters."
"This way, you will have a chance to come out of Slaughter City."
