Sowing Discord Between Tang Hao and Tang San—Were You in Cahoots So I Could Show Off?

Tang Lan looked at Tang San's dejected state and put on a concerned expression.

"Little Sanzi, what's wrong?"

"Father didn't mean to neglect you."

"Don't be mad at Father~"

Tang San snapped back to his senses and instinctively tried to argue.

"Forget about him!" Tang Hao barked from outside the door. "If such a tiny setback is enough to keep him down, he doesn't deserve to be my son!"

Tang San stood there with his mouth open, feeling utterly wronged!

He hadn't done anything. Why was he being despised like this?

Tang Lan, the culprit behind it all, shot Tang San an apologetic look.

He took a few steps outside, and his voice drifted in.

"Father, don't blame Little Sanzi. He's still young—"

—It sounded like mediation, but it was really adding fuel to the fire!

"Young?" Tang Hao raised his voice. "You were only born a few seconds before Little San. How can the difference between you be so great?"

"Father!" Tang Lan called out loudly. "You're being too loud. Little Sanzi will be sad if he hears you!"

Tang Hao merely sneered.

After all, they were both his sons. He couldn't be too blatantly biased.

So he simply stopped mentioning the matter.

Instead, he began teaching Tang Lan a new hammer technique.

Inside the room,

Tang San's expression shifted unpredictably. Gritting his teeth, he pushed himself up and picked up the Medicinal Wine to rub over himself.

He had originally respected Tang Hao as his father and had worked tirelessly since childhood.

Who would have thought—

he was such a stubborn old man who played favorites?

Hmph!

I'll still call you Father in the future, but anything beyond that...

Heh heh!

The host has driven a wedge between Tang Hao and Tang San's father-son relationship, seizing a small amount of Tang San's Luck!

Reward: "Haotian Bodyguard"!

Haotian Bodyguard was the only defensive skill in the Haotian Hammer techniques.

By coincidence,

what Tang Hao was explaining at that very moment was the technique for Haotian Bodyguard, and he even demonstrated it once.

The Haotian Hammer spun at high speed, forming a shield of light.

It looked like defense, but in truth, it used the destructive force generated by the spinning Haotian Hammer to forcibly shatter the opponent's attack.

It was an attack-against-attack approach.

If used to smash someone,

its power was equally not to be underestimated!

"Did you understand?" Tang Hao asked.

Tang Lan nodded.

He summoned the Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer and deftly spun its handle with one hand, easily producing an identical light shield.

Tang Hao's eyes nearly popped out!

This...

He'd learned it already?

But what came next was even more outrageous.

Tang Lan flicked the rapidly spinning light shield, and hammer afterimages formed a ring of energy around his body.

Three hundred and sixty degrees of protection, without a single opening.

It was the complete version of Haotian Bodyguard!

Tang Hao's mouth hung slightly open, unable to close for a long time!

Not only had he mastered it at a glance, he'd even drawn inferences from it?

Tang Hao hadn't even taught the complete version yet, and Tang Lan had already developed it himself?

A monster!

An absolute monster!

Tang Hao was beside himself with excitement!

A Titled Douluo?

This kid was aiming for a level 99 Peerless Douluo!

He might even...

become a god!!!

Ah Yin's revival was finally within reach!

At the thought,

Tang Hao's gaze toward Tang Lan grew increasingly gentle.

His younger son, Tang San?

Let him fend for himself.

With Tang Lan, that was enough!

The host has driven a wedge between Tang Hao and Tang San's father-son relationship, seizing a small amount of Tang San's Luck!

Reward: "Soaring Sky Strike"!

It was another one of the Clear Sky Ultimate Arts.

There was no need to build up power like the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. It directly concentrated all the Soul Power in one point and unleashed it.

Its speed was incredibly fast, specializing in sneak attacks!

"Lan'er, your talent is excellent." Tang Hao said approvingly. "Then I'll teach you another move, called Soaring Sky Strike."

Tang Lan blinked.

Were you and the system in cahoots, just so I could show off?

Whatever the system rewards me with, you teach me?

When Tang Hao saw this,

he assumed the technique was too profound and Tang Lan hadn't understood.

He comforted him, "Don't rush. You're only six years old. You have plenty of time to take it slowly."

Before he finished speaking,

Tang Lan raised the Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer and unleashed a heavy, forceful strike, sparks and lightning flying everywhere.

"Boom—"

An explosive blast rang out, blowing a deep crater into the courtyard ground from afar.

At the same time, it blew Tang Hao's worldview to pieces!

This...

He'd learned it just like that?

Tang Hao stood there dumbly with his mouth open for several seconds before giving a bitter smile.

Having a son who was too monstrous was also a problem.

He had nothing left to teach him.

The Nine Wonders of Haotian were the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques, never passed down to outsiders.

Only those who received the joint recognition of the sect master and elders were permitted to learn them.

Tang Hao had already left the Clear Sky Sect and had no right to teach them directly.

The Great Sumeru Hammer was passed down to only one person per generation. Only by inheriting the title of Clear Sky Douluo could one cultivate that exclusive secret technique.

But soon,

Tang Hao came to terms with it.

With Tang Lan's monstrous talent, he would surely break the current deadlock in the future and win a chance at survival for the reclusive Clear Sky Sect.

When the time came, he would naturally be qualified to learn them.

Tang Hao lifted a large hand and ruffled Tang Lan's long hair.

"From now on, this family is in your hands."

"Once Little San learns the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, teach him these two moves as well."

Tang Lan nodded readily.

But inwardly, he thought—

Teach him?

Impossible.

Unless Tang San reached the Great Perfection realm of the Nine Yang Divine Skill's "borrow force to counter force," Tang Lan would only turn him down with "your strength isn't enough."

If Tang San insisted on learning?

Fine.

But Tang Lan would only demonstrate it. Whether Tang San could learn it would depend on his talent.

After all,

Tang Lan had learned it at a glance too. He didn't know any of the teaching details!

The host has greatly delayed Tang San's learning of the Clear Sky Ultimate Arts "Haotian Bodyguard" and "Soaring Sky Strike," seizing a small amount of Tang San's Luck!

Reward: "Minor Physical Enhancement"!

His essence, energy, and spirit became somewhat more abundant.

The Indestructible Body of the Nine Yang Divine Skill directly reached Minor Accomplishment!

From then on,

ordinary blades and swords would no longer be able to break through his defenses.

At the same time,

the age of his first and second soul rings also surged by 500 years.

They reached 7000 Years.

Tsk!

Tang San, Tang San, being your brother really was great!

"Cough, cough—"

Tang Hao coughed violently as Soul Power fluctuations rippled from his body.

Back when he fought Qian Xunji and the others, Tang Hao had suffered severe injuries. Over the years, he had also wallowed in idleness and drunkenness.

Not only had his injuries failed to improve, they had become increasingly severe.

It was practically a terminal condition.

Could Tang Lan allow that?

Tang Hao was his greatest backer on Douluo Continent.

He couldn't fall.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill was supremely firm and supremely yang, with innate life-restoring effects.

Tang Lan could teach the first three layers of the Nine Yang Divine Skill to Tang Hao.

It would allow Tang Hao to undergo Yi Jin Xi Sui once more.

It would also convert his Soul Power into the supremely firm and supremely yang Nine Yang Divine Skill, allowing him to slowly repair his own injuries.

However, in terms of the cultivation method's completeness, it was still inferior to Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Moreover, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the Tang Sect's various techniques, and hidden weapons were all part of a complete set.

It was not enough to make Tang San switch to cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Perfect!
