Going Home

Ever since Yang Ming awakened his spirit, Yang Wudi had lost count of how many times he had marveled at Yang Ming's incredible talent. A Super Spirit that surpassed the Soul Breaking Spear, Innate Full Soul Power, top-tier spear talent, top-tier combat talent, and a mind unbound by the times—an ordinary person would be called a genius for possessing even one or two of these qualities, yet Yang Ming had them all! Yang Wudi now felt that even "uniquely blessed" was not enough to describe Yang Ming. He could only say one thing: he had been born a king!

Seeing that Grandfather seemed to have thought of something, his expression shifting between wonder and excitement, Yang Ming did not want to disturb his enthusiasm and could only watch from the side.

Before long, Yang Wudi finished indulging himself. Seeing Yang Ming standing nearby and staring at him with a strange look, he felt somewhat embarrassed and coughed.

"Cough, cough~"

Then, pretending that nothing had happened, he commented on Yang Ming's rabbit hunt before looking at the Soft Bone Rabbit hanging from the Atlas Spear and directly changing the subject.

"Nicely done!"

"Ming Er, this Soft Bone Rabbit tastes quite good. Let's try the rabbit first!"

Yang Ming nodded solemnly at that, pretending that nothing had happened. More importantly, he was looking forward to it as well. He wondered whether the Soft Bone Rabbit would be fragrant.

Half an hour later

"It tastes just like I remember. So fragrant!"

After finishing the rabbit leg in his hand, Yang Wudi gave heartfelt praise. Although he had brought up the rabbit to change the subject, Soft Bone Rabbit meat really was delicious. Yang Wudi had traveled far and wide over the years and eaten plenty of delicacies, including Soul Beast meat, but the Soft Bone Rabbit was not only tender and delicious—it also had a uniquely memorable texture.

Yang Ming was also gnawing on a large piece of rabbit meat, his cheeks bulging like a little hamster.

For the next three days, the grandfather and grandson, Yang Wudi and Yang Ming, threw themselves into hunting throughout the Star Dou Great Forest.

Because the space in their Storage Soul Tools was limited, besides the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast meat that occupied most of the room, the grandfather and grandson also raided several Soft Bone Rabbit nests to fill the gaps. Most of their time was spent searching for Soft Bone Rabbit nests. The delicious Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were generally quite large, and after hunting two of them, they had more or less filled all of their Storage Soul Tools.

After finishing their hunt, the grandfather and grandson, Yang Wudi and Yang Ming, returned to Soul Hunting Town and thoroughly washed themselves.

Although their half-month of camping had been quite good overall—they had obtained the best Spirit Ring and eaten all kinds of barbecued Soul Beast meat—washing up had truly been difficult in the Star Dou Great Forest. After taking care of their personal hygiene and enjoying a hearty home-cooked meal, it was already evening. The grandfather and grandson rented a carriage and, completely satisfied, set off for home.

The next morning

The grandfather and grandson, Yang Wudi and Yang Ming, returned to the Breaking Clan residence in Silver River City. The moment they entered the residence, a clan elder came looking for Yang Wudi and pulled him away to handle clan affairs. Yang Ming, meanwhile, went to the clan's Ancestral Hall.

When Yang Ming entered the Ancestral Hall, there was no one else inside.

Yang Ming walked straight to the spirit tablets of his parents and stopped before them. Looking at the tablets, his thoughts raced. He took three sticks of high-quality ox-head sandalwood incense from the incense table beside him, bowed, and lit the incense for his parents. Afterward, Yang Ming began telling his parents about his half-month-long Soul Beast hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Dad. Mom."

"Ming Er has come to see you!"

"After the last Spirit Awakening, Grandfather took Ming Er to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Spirit Ring."

"Ming Er obtained a very good Spirit Ring and a very powerful Spirit Skill."

"Grandfather also taught Ming Er a lot about Soul Beasts and medicinal herbs."

"Also, Ming Er has eaten many different kinds of Soul Beasts these past few days. Especially Soft Bone Rabbit meat—it was really fragrant. Ming Er will let you try some!"

As he spoke, Yang Ming took out a Soft Bone Rabbit that had been prepared in Soul Hunting Town from his Phoenix Cry Ring as an offering and placed it before the spirit tablets.

Looking at the Phoenix Cry Ring set with a green gemstone on his index finger, Yang Ming's mood grew somewhat downcast. Even so, he forced himself to keep smiling and continued confiding in his parents.

"Also, Mom, Grandfather told Ming Er everything you left for me."

"Ming Er will eat well and grow up quickly."

"Ming Er will also get plenty of rest."

"The medicine-making and cultivation that you weren't good at seem pretty easy for Ming Er. Ming Er will study hard and learn everything you never managed to learn!"

"Finally, making friends and finding a wife."

By the time he reached this point, Yang Ming's eyes had reddened, and his throat had tightened with sobs.

"Grandfather gave the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Pair Rings to Ming Er. He also told Ming Er the story of how you met when you were young."

"Ming Er will search carefully. I'll find true friends, and I'll also find a good woman like Mom. I won't let any strange woman get entangled with me."

"Also, no matter what happens in the future, Ming Er will remain true to himself."

"Dad, Mom, rest assured. Ming Er will become a real man! I'll become your pride!!!"

Yang Ming ultimately could not hold back his tears, and they began to fall. But the moment they left his eyes, Yang Ming wiped them away. He did not want his parents to see him crying. After finishing those tender words, Yang Ming recalled the events of that year. His tone shifted, the softness replaced by coldness, and he slowly spoke.

"Finally, Grandfather has told me everything he knows. I also know who killed you!!!"

"In the future, Ming Er will kill him and avenge you!"

When he spoke of his enemy, Yang Ming's voice seemed to have been squeezed out of a ten-thousand-year glacier, cold and merciless. Every word seemed coated in the frost of a bitter winter, carrying a bone-chilling coldness. There was not a trace of warmth in his words, as if he were discussing something unrelated to him. His tone was as steady as a frozen lake, without the slightest ripple. His gaze was even colder, so cold that no one would dare meet it, like the deep, frigid waters of a winter lake radiating an aura that kept others a thousand miles away.

After a long while, Yang Ming finally calmed his emotions and continued telling his parents about the other questions he had encountered.

"But Ming Er still has quite a few questions about what happened back then!"

"Who was the mastermind behind the Clear Sky Sect abandoning the Four Great Clans?"

"Why did Tang Hao kill the Pope of the Spirit Hall back then?"

"These questions still have no answers!"

"As for Tang Hao, whether alive or dead, I must find him!"

Based on what Yang Ming had learned about the past, he believed that Tang Hao might still be alive. Although Tang Hao had disappeared from the Soul Master World all these years, and according to Grandfather, opinions in the Soul Master World varied widely, the Spirit Hall's retaliation afterward had already made one thing certain: Tang Hao had held the advantage in that battle and had safely withdrawn. He might have been seriously injured, but he definitely had not died then.

A powerhouse of the Titled Douluo level could still survive even the most severe injuries, as long as there was no clear proof that they had died on the battlefield. As for Qian Xunji, he had probably truly been too seriously injured!

"Ming Er will find Tang Hao, uncover the truth of what happened back then, and give you and the other deceased members of the clan an answer!"

"I definitely will!!!"
