Chapter 140: Yo, or Twin Martial Souls?
"Tang San's father?" Fifteen Ton Douluo glanced at Falling Devil Douluo with a smile. "Maybe you're right. Compared to Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang is more like a father to Tang San."
Fifteen Ton Douluo had read Tang San's intelligence and couldn't wrap his head around it. Was Tang Hao's wife's death such a blow that he spiraled into ruin, nearly killing his own son, while his father's death barely fazed him?
"Tang Hao hasn't shown up in so long. Has he abandoned his son?" Fifteen Ton Douluo mused.
"Hard to say," Falling Devil Douluo replied.
…
*Inside the Room.*
"My father?" Tang San's eyes widened in shock. Why were they looking for his father, a mere blacksmith?
Seeing Tang San's confusion, Yu Xiaogang decided to stop hiding the truth. The situation was dire—they had to escape Heaven Dou City, the Heaven Dou Empire entirely! "That's right!" His gaze was resolute. "Only your father can save us now!"
"My father? Save us from Heaven Dou City?" Tang San stared at Yu Xiaogang and Flender, wondering if they'd lost their minds. His father, a blacksmith, saving them?
Flender sighed, seeing Tang San's disbelief. "Xiao San, there's no point hiding it anymore." His tone turned grave. "Your father isn't just a blacksmith. His name is Tang Hao, one of the Haotian Twins, the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent—Haotian Douluo! When he first became a Titled Douluo, he killed several veteran ones, including Pope Qian Xunji! The day you joined Shrek, he taught Zhao Wuji a lesson. That's when we learned your background. Your father's no blacksmith—he's Haotian Douluo, and he's our only hope to escape Heaven Dou City!"
…
*On the Rooftop.*
"Is Yu Xiaogang insane?" Fifteen Ton Douluo's mind reeled, overhearing the conversation. "Plotting an escape in the hotel we arranged for them? They don't take the Spirit Hall seriously!"
Falling Devil Douluo laughed. He'd had suspicions when Yu Xiaogang called for Tang San, but he couldn't believe anyone could be so foolish. Yet here they were, scheming in a Spirit Hall-controlled hotel, monitored by a Soul Emperor and Soul King who recorded everything Shrek said or did.
"As expected of a master!" Falling Devil Douluo said with a grin. "Tell them not to act rashly. I want to see Yu Xiaogang again."
Fifteen Ton Douluo nodded, genuinely impressed by Yu Xiaogang's audacity.
…
*Inside the Room.*
"My father is Haotian Douluo?!" Tang San's scalp tingled with shock. His blacksmith father, a Titled Douluo? The revelation was earth-shattering.
"That's right!" Yu Xiaogang's voice was weak but firm. "Your father's a Titled Douluo. Why he fell to being a blacksmith, we don't know, but it's definitely tied to the Spirit Hall. After all, he killed the former Pope Qian Xunji!"
A glint of satisfaction flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. He'd been overjoyed when he learned of Qian Xunji's death.
"Spirit Hall! Qian Xunji!" Tang San repeated silently, his last shred of goodwill toward the Spirit Hall vanishing. They'd forced his father into ruin—an unforgivable force that had to be toppled.
"Xiao San, I know this is shocking, but we don't have time!" Yu Xiaogang's tone grew urgent. "We need you to find your father. Heaven Dou City is now the Spirit Hall's lapdog. You've seen their attitude toward Shrek. You, me, the academy—we're enemies of the Spirit Hall now. We have to leave!"
Under Yu Xiaogang and Flender's intense gazes, Tang San felt immense pressure. "A gentleman doesn't stand under a crumbling wall. I understand, Teacher, but…" He hesitated, embarrassed. "I haven't seen my father in years, not since before Notting College."
"I know," Yu Xiaogang said, understanding his disciple well. "You don't need to find him directly. Let others contact him!" He fixed Tang San with a steady look. "In Heaven Dou City, there's a place called Yuexuan, dedicated to training noble children. Its owner is Tang Yuehua."
"Yuexuan? Tang Yuehua?" A spark of recognition lit Tang San's eyes. "I've heard of it recently."
"Exactly! There's only one Yuexuan in Heaven Dou City!" Yu Xiaogang's expression grew complex. "Like me, her martial soul mutated from a high-level one to a useless one. Mine went from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to Luo Sanpao. Hers…" He stared at Tang San. "It mutated from the continent's top weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer!"
"Clear Sky Hammer?!" Tang San gasped.
"That's right! Tang Yuehua is your aunt, Haotian Douluo's sister!" Yu Xiaogang said with certainty. "Show her your other martial soul, and she'll help you. You may not have a way to contact your father, but the Haotian Sect does. If we reach him through them, we can escape!"
Yu Xiaogang didn't care that Tang Hao had been expelled from the sect for his past mistakes. Tang Yuehua was Tang San's aunt, and Tang Xiao his uncle. As long as they lived, they'd help Tang San contact Tang Hao, securing their freedom.
Tang San's expression shifted, his face stiffening as he looked at Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao San?" Yu Xiaogang frowned.
"Heh!" Fifteen Ton Douluo appeared, patting Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, making him freeze. "Not bad, Yu Xiaogang! Twin martial souls? You really hit the jackpot!"
"There's an error in our intelligence," Falling Devil Douluo said, eyeing Tang San curiously. "How did you hide it during your awakening? Afraid of strange looks? Your childhood environment? Or just unusually mature?"
Ignoring Tang San's grim expression, Fifteen Ton Douluo smiled. "Bibi Dong wasn't as clever when she awakened her twin martial souls—she asked the awakening master right away. Everyone's different, but for a twin martial soul user, Bibi Dong would've been the best teacher. Yu Xiaogang, you really seized an opportunity."
