"Brother, let's go. If we can't join the Soul Palace, then we won't."
When Tang San regained consciousness, Xiao Wu refused to let him go no matter what.
"That's impossible."
Tang San's voice sounded a little strange, halting, as if his body couldn't keep up with his brain's reaction.
Just when he was taking the test for the second time, memories of his past life flashed through Tang San's mind, making him feel like he was still in the Tang Sect.
He shook his head vigorously.
Two consecutive failures dealt a heavy blow to him psychologically.
At this point, whether he could join the Soul Palace was secondary. What was more important was that he was unwilling to accept such a miserable failure.
Just when he was hesitating whether to try it again, he suddenly noticed someone staring at him for a long time.
"dad..."
When he looked in the direction where the sight came from, Tang San almost shouted "Dad".
Fortunately, he noticed that the man did not look like his father, so he swallowed back the two words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Who is this person? Why does he look so much like my dad?
Doubts made Tang San calm down a little and he gave up the idea of continuing to try.
At this point, everyone in Shrek had failed except Ma Hongjun who did not dare to try.
"Fatty, what's wrong with them?"
Tang San, who had recovered a little, discovered that the relationship between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had deteriorated a lot again.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had been indifferent to Dai Mubai before, she had never treated him like an enemy like she does now.
Ma Hongjun laughed dryly a few times.
He had never participated in the assessment and had seen all of Dai Mubai's little moves. He himself was also a lustful person and had never expected that Dai Mubai would do this.
But due to various considerations, Ma Hongjun did not tell Tang San about his discovery.
"Let's leave. The Soul Palace's entrance exam is too confusing. They don't recruit disciples based on talent at all. People with outstanding talents like us can't even pass it."
No one opposed Ma Hongjun's proposal this time.
Since I have already failed, what else is there to say?
Although Zhu Zhuqing was filled with resentment, she did not object. Instead, she accumulated all her anger, resentment, and hatred deep in her heart.
Dai Mubai had a smile on his face.
Sure enough, as long as she couldn't join the Soul Palace, she would definitely compromise.
"Master Tang, we can go in now."
Ye Lingling said to Tang Xiao who was still looking at Tang San.
"Okay, thank you for leading the way, young lady."
Tang Xiao is better at dealing with people than Tang Hao. Even when facing Ye Lingling, who is far less powerful than him, he still remains polite.
This courtesy is not shown to Ye Lingling personally, but to the identity of Soul Palace.
"Tang? His last name is Tang too?"
Tang San, who was walking stiffly back the way he came, heard Ye Lingling calling Tang Xiao.
If he just looked like Tang Hao, Tang San could still regard it as a coincidence, but even the surname was the same, was there such a coincidence in the world?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu was worried that Tang San was still unwilling to give up, so she asked anxiously.
"nothing."
Tang San responded and continued walking towards the path he came from.
At the moment before leaving, except for Ma Hongjun, everyone else looked towards the Soul Palace, and everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Tang San secretly clenched his fists.
Soul Palace, missing out on letting me become your disciple must be your biggest mistake. You will definitely regret it in the future.
Tang San didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the Soul Palace, so he could only secretly make up his mind that he must make the Soul Palace regret not letting him join.
Even without the help of elixirs, I, Tang San, will definitely become the strongest.
When they left the foggy maze, they looked back and saw nothing but thick fog, and they could no longer see the towering and ancient fortress.
"The mistress is out?"
In the dark, Tang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu coming out.
In fact, compared to Tang San's safety, he was more concerned about whether Xiao Wu's identity would be exposed.
He had long noticed the transformed soul beast beside Tang San, and he saw that Tang San and it were becoming increasingly close, and he was happy to see it happen.
But on second thought, Tang San snorted lightly.
"What a foolish Soul Palace! They are indeed a blind force. Even someone as gifted as my son Tang San cannot join the Soul Palace. It seems that the Soul Palace is nothing special and is not worthy of Big Brother's attention."
…
In the Soul Palace, Ye Lingling led Tang Xiao towards the Heavenly Palace.
Tang Xiao had been here several times before, but he left every time after hearing that Xiao Mu was not in the Soul Palace. This was the first time he officially entered the Soul Palace.
"Your clan's main building is quite impressive."
As he walked along, Tang Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
His praise came completely from the heart. Even the location of the Haotian Sect before it moved was definitely not as majestic as the Soul Palace.
Although Tang Xiao could not experience the bonus that the Soul Palace brought to his cultivation and its defensive capabilities, he could see the extraordinary nature of this fortress just from its appearance.
Xiao Mu had returned to the Heavenly Palace a long time ago. When Ye Lingling brought Tang Xiao here, as usual, in addition to Xiao Mu, Qian Qiusui and Zhan Kaishan were also here.
"I am Tang Xiao from the Haotian Sect. I believe you are the Master of the Soul Palace."
When he got here, Tang Xiao announced the name of Haotian Sect. Although his attitude was still respectful, he did not seem humble.
Xiao Mu was not one to beat around the bush, so he asked directly:
"Master Tang has come to visit several times. What is the reason?"
Tang Xiao was not very good at playing along, so he replied:
"I came to the Soul Palace on behalf of the Haotian Sect to seek cooperation with the Soul Palace."
Xiao Mu said noncommittally, "Cooperation? What does the Haotian Sect want to cooperate with my Soul Palace for? Do you have a large number of rare medicinal herbs? Or do you have all the materials that my Soul Palace needs?"
"this..."
Tang Xiao frowned slightly.
Xiao Mu's attitude was obviously beyond his expectations.
The Haotian Sect is the number one sect in the world after all. Even though it has been in seclusion for many years, its reputation and strength are still there.
In his opinion, since he came to visit and actively asked for cooperation, the Soul Palace should at least show some urgency, even if it didn't agree immediately.
But the Soul Palace Master seemed to have no interest at all.
But since he was already here, Tang Xiao continued:
"When I say cooperation, I don't mean a buyer-seller relationship, but rather a closer relationship."
This time Xiao Mu didn't even ask, so Tang Xiao could only continue:
"The Soul Hall possesses the Soul Breaking Pill, a powerful artifact that can enhance strength. Furthermore, the very name Soul Hall is a taboo for the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Soul Hall grow stronger."
"The Spirit Hall has a deep foundation, with many Titled Douluo and even Super Douluo. Although the Soul Hall is quite powerful, it is still far behind the Spirit Hall. If the Spirit Hall attacks, the Soul Hall will definitely not be able to withstand it."
Hearing this, Xiao Mu smiled.
He thought that Tang Xiao would show some sincerity even if he had something to ask for during his several visits.
But now it seems that Tang Xiao is like a lousy lobbyist who wants to exaggerate the crisis of the Soul Palace as much as possible, but he doesn't know that his performance is too clumsy.
"Master Tang, since the situation facing our Soul Palace is so critical, do you have any good suggestions?"
Xiao Mu had roughly guessed Tang Xiao's intention, but still asked deliberately.
