Chapter 184: Tang Hao Appears.
Tang San locked himself in his room, not venting for days, desperately practicing the Xuantian Gong, hoping to numb his nerves through the arduous practice.
He was dazed, his face pale and thin, his eyes sunken, his cheeks thin, his eyes dull, and he looked numb.
It was surprising to see that his diligent practice was paying off. After so long, his spirit power successfully broke through to level 42.
Outside Tang San's room, Xiao Wu paced back and forth, gazing at the shabby wooden door with a look of worry, as if she could see through it and see Tang San inside.
Normally, Dugu Bo would have come out to counsel Tang San at this moment, but Dugu Bo didn't know who Tang San was.
However, Tang San still had a Schrödinger-like father, who usually hid in the shadows, observing Tang San's situation like a rat crossing the street.
If Tang San needed help, he would appear, and now was clearly the time when Tang San needed him most.
Whoosh—
and suddenly, Tang Hao, dressed in rags and resembling a beggar, burst into Tang San's room, appearing before him so abruptly that Xiao Wu, standing just outside, didn't even notice his presence.
Tang Hao was dressed in a torn linen shirt, revealing a healthy, tanned complexion and muscular build beneath the holes.
Even after years of decline, Tang Hao's physique remained remarkably strong.
Gazing at the dejected look on Tang San's face, Tang Hao couldn't help but frown. He hadn't reacted at all to his appearance before him; he hardly looked like his son.
He called out coldly, "Xiao San!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Tang San's eyes, bloodshot from long periods of restlessness, snapped open. He gazed piercingly at Tang Hao, who looked exactly like him in his memory. He immediately dropped to his knees before Tang Hao, calling out,
"Dad!"
To appear before me in an instant—this is a feat only a Titled Douluo possesses! There's no doubt about it, Dad is truly a Titled Douluo! I'm the son of a Titled Douluo!
Upon learning that Dai Mubai's father had become a Titled Douluo, he was incredibly envious, envious of Dai Mubai's powerful father!
Although Tai Tan had told him that his father, Tang Hao, was a Titled Douluo, he had a hard time connecting the image of the drunken, dejected Tang Hao, obsessed with drinking, with a Titled Douluo.
But now, seeing Tang Hao instantly appear before him, Tang San believed it!
He believed it! He believed it!
His father truly was a Titled Douluo, one of the strongest beings on Douluo Continent.
"Dad, so what Senior Tai Tan said was true. You truly are a Titled Douluo! But why..."
Tang San wanted to question Tang Hao, why didn't he tell him about himself? But perhaps angry at Tang San's dejection, Tang Hao didn't let him get up. Instead, he kept him kneeling while he settled comfortably into a chair.
"There's only one reason I'm not telling you this: you're still too weak! Knowing my background won't benefit you; it'll only put you in danger."
You're too weak!
Those four words stabbed deeply into Tang San's heart like a sharp blade, leaving the already dejected Tang San even more disheartened. He wondered how his father, with his 36-degree eyes, could utter such cold words.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I've disappointed you! This time against Elephant Armor Academy, I used all my skills to barely defeat Hu Yanli... but Dad!"
Suddenly, Tang San looked up, changing the subject, and simultaneously unleashed Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer spirit. Confusion filled his face as he inquired, "Dad, why did you and Teacher insist on me cultivating Blue Silver Grass first?
Blue Silver Grass is clearly a useless spirit, breaking at the slightest effort. It's completely worthless to cultivate. But the Clear Sky Hammer is completely different!"
"If I had cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer spirit before, I would definitely be far more powerful than I am now! Then, when we fight against the Elephant Armor Academy, we might not have to struggle so hard at all. Why don't you let me cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer spirit?"
"Because you don't have the ability to absorb ten thousand year spirit rings yet!" Tang Hao said without hesitation, "The reason why Master and I let you cultivate the Blue Silver Grass spirit is because it is a useless spirit that can help you cultivate to the Soul King or even Soul Emperor level!"
After a pause, Tang Hao added, "If you are a Soul King-level soul master, then you can add a ten thousand year spirit ring to the Blue Silver Grass. At this time, the first spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer will be at least ten thousand years old!
If you can cultivate the Blue Silver Grass to the Soul Emperor level, then at this time, the first spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer can be attached with a twenty thousand year spirit ring!
And so on and so forth. If you can become a Titled Douluo with the Blue Silver Grass spirit, then your Clear Sky Hammer will have no problem absorbing ten hundred thousand year spirit rings.
Think about it, if you really attached ten hundred thousand year spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, how strong would you be? Compared to the potential of ten hundred thousand year spirit rings, what does it matter if you suffer a little now?"
"Ah, this..."
Tang San was so smart that he figured out the truth in an instant. His eyes lit up and he was in high spirits. The previous gloom was swept away.
"Besides, do you really think your Blue Silver Grass spirit is weak?"
Tang Hao's shocking words startled Tang San, "What? But Dad, even the teacher said that the Blue Silver Grass spirit is a useless spirit!"
"Other people's Blue Silver Grass may be a useless spirit, but yours is not!" Tang Hao shook his head. How could his Ah Yin be a waste?
"After that, I will take you away from Shrek Academy. I will train you well. When you reach my standards, I will take you to a place.
Once you've gone there, your Blue Silver Grass Spirit will evolve. Its power will rival that of the Clear Sky Hammer!"
"Soul evolution?!"
Tang San's eyes lit up. He was familiar with the term, for he had met Dai Weis and Ning Rongrong before. Dai Weis's spirit evolved through acquired cultivation, and Ning Rongrong's spirit evolved into the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda after consuming the Prism Grass.
Ever since then, he'd envied Ning Rongrong. Now that he had the chance to evolve his own spirit, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Really, Dad? Can my Blue Silver Grass evolve, too?"
Tang Hao said coldly. "Of course you can, but that only requires you to pass my test. If not, your spirit will remain Blue Silver Grass."
"Okay, Dad, I will definitely pass your test!"
"Very well, then, let's leave Shrek now." After saying this, Tang Hao opened the door. With his strength, he naturally noticed Xiao Wu outside the door.
"You, you are..."
Xiao Wu looked at the burly man in front of her with fear. She was frightened for a moment. She naturally felt that the person in front of her was... a Titled Douluo!
After realizing this, Xiao Wu fell to the ground, her body shaking like a sieve, and she almost wet her pants with fear.
Tang Hao did not take action, but just said quietly: "Don't be afraid, I am Xiao San's father. I know everything about you and Xiao San. I won't hurt you."
When these words came out, Xiao Wu was shocked. How could it be that Xiao San's father was a Titled Douluo?
