Tang Hao was unaware that Yu Xiaogang had already fallen into Ye Tianxing's carefully designed trap, which resulted in the complete destruction of Tang San's Twin Martial Souls.
The Sunset Forest was incredibly tranquil under the cover of night. Because of the presence of the Ye Clan guarding the area, even hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old Spirit Beast dared not venture beyond the forest's perimeter, instead retreating deep into the Sunset Forest.
Tang San and his disciple Yu Xiaogang ventured deep into the forest for a long time before finally managing to kill a hundred-year- Thousand-Ton Ant.
Holding the ancient manual that Ye Tianxing had made up, Yu Xiaogang said with a solemn expression, "The book says that when Twin Martial Souls possessor absorbs four Spirit Ring into their First Martial Soul, they must start absorbing all the spirit rings again, starting from scratch. If they start absorbing the Fourth Spirit Ring of their First Martial Soul, the Second Martial Soul will not be able to withstand the enormous energy, causing the Spirit Master to self-destruct and die."
"This Thousand-Ton Ant is the most prominent example of a power-type Spirit Beast, making it a perfect fit as the First Soul Ring for your Clear Sky Hammer."
Yu Xiaogang wore a confident smile, believing that with this secret manual from the royal family, the time it would take to train Tang San into Titled Douluo could be greatly shortened.
Tang San trusted his teacher Yu Xiaogang's opinion wholeheartedly. He believed that a teacher who had knelt in the Moonlight Pavilion for almost a year for his sake would never harm him.
In no time, the First Soul Ring of the Clear Sky Hammer was absorbed, and Tang San's Soul Power increased by one level, reaching level forty-four.
Tang San held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, looking at the first Hundred-Year Soul Ring on it, and could feel that the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was becoming exceptionally powerful.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Yu Xiaogang and his apprentice spent the entire night working together to replenish the first three Spirit Ring of the Clear Sky Hammer.
After Tang San hunted down a three-thousand-year- Man Faced Demon Spider and narrowly absorbed its Spirit Ring, his Soul Power Level reached level forty-nine.
"What a pity! We were just one level away from breaking through to level 50!" Yu Xiaogang sighed. If his disciple could break through to Soul King before the competition started, then the championship of this competition would undoubtedly belong to them.
It should be noted that his disciple is the most powerful in this competition, possessing Twin Martial Souls. Even the Twin Martial Souls from the Spirit Hall that rivals Tang Hao is not on the Spirit Hall's list for this competition.
"Teacher, I still have Soul Ascension Pill to take." Tang San took out a light blue Soul Ascension Pill, which was given to him by Dean Flender when he was at the Shrek Academy.
"That's right! And there's also the Soul Ascension Pill!" Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and almost forgot about it.
There were three pills in total, because a person can only take three Soul Ascension Pill in their lifetime. Tang San picked one up, his thoughts all on his teacher, on washing away his teacher's humiliation, and on the honor and disgrace of the Shrek Academy.
Tang San made up his mind, tilted his head back, and swallowed the Soul Ascension Pill.
The moment the Soul Ascension Pill entered his stomach, it transformed into a warm current, successfully breaking through Tang San's level 49 bottleneck and raising his Soul Power to level 50. The Blue Silver Grass suddenly became qualified to absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
" Tang San, take a rest for a while. It'll be dawn soon. This Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast is not so easy to deal with." Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power had already broken through to level 30 with the help of the Soul Ascension Pill. He was more than capable of dealing with the ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast.
Tang San nodded, and the master and disciple rested under a tree. They had been busy all night and had managed to get four Spirit Ring on the Clear Sky Hammer.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple—this is exactly the Soul Ring Configuration of the Clear Sky Hammer.
If Tang Hao had seen this scene, he would have killed Yu Xiaogang without hesitation. However, the latter was still immersed in the dream that "whoever obtains the Grandmaster will obtain the world".
Unaware of the potential changes that might occur in the future, and the impending life-threatening danger from Tang Hao.
At noon, Tang San and his disciples returned after a busy night. When asked by Dai Mubai, Oscar and other brothers, Tang San simply said that his teacher had taken him for special training, and then he went to consolidate his Soul Power.
Tang San was surprised to find that when the Blue Silver Grass absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast, his soul actually trembled. At that moment, Tang San really felt that he was not far from death.
Yu Xiaogang was at a loss because he had never encountered such a scene before. The Soul Shock that only occurs when absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared on Tang San.
Fortunately, Tang San overcame the difficulties on his own with his amazing willpower and successfully absorbed the fifth Spirit Ring of the Blue Silver Grass, a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Thus, Tang San became the leading figure of the younger generation at the Shrek Academy, Soul King of level 52. (This was achieved by sacrificing his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.)
From then on, Yu Xiaogang changed her demeanor. She no longer had a blank expression when meeting people, but always showed a confident, albeit ugly, smile, holding her head high and chest out. Being valued by the Heaven Dou Empire was such an honor.
Yu Xiaogang believed that this was just the beginning, and that when his disciple Tang San made a name for himself in the competition, that would be the moment he would soar to the top.
By then, Ye Ping'an would have it easy.
" Tang San and Yu Xiaogang and disciple, returned to the Shrek Academy. Tang San's Soul Power successfully broke through to the Soul King."
When Ye Tianxing received the message from the Shrek Academy spy, he was overjoyed.
The value of his own saying, "He who obtains the Grandmaster will obtain the world," continued to increase, allowing Yu Xiaogang's already wounded heart to be sublimated to the extreme. He blindly believed in the Twin Martial Souls cultivation manual that he had made up, and he really treated it as a treasure!
"What are you laughing at, so happy?"
Just then, Qian Renxue came over. After coaxing her son to sleep, she was finally able to rest for a while.
Since giving birth to her son, Qian Renxue has realized how hard it is to be a mother. While Ye Tianxing is working hard outside, she takes care of the child at home.
Even though she understood all this, Qian Renxue was still unwilling to face Bibi Dong, because all her mother had given her since childhood was coldness and indifference. Over time, Qian Renxue broke with Bibi Dong, and the relationship between the mother and daughter plummeted to a freezing point.
Ye Tianxing would not interfere in the mother-daughter relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong because of this. As her son-in-law, he was not particularly fond of Bibi Dong anyway, since that crazy woman was capable of anything.
When Ye Tianxing was six years old, he revealed that he had Twin Martial Souls during the Elite Class Competition, which led to Hu Liena's test of Ye Tianxing.
Bibi Dong had planned to marry Hu Liena into the family, but fortunately, Ye Tianxing made up an excuse that he liked older women, so he immediately ran to Grandpa Qian Daoliu's place to avoid trouble.
From then on, Ye Tianxing became wary of Bibi Dong, that crazy woman. Even now, when he recalls saying goodbye to Bibi Dong before leaving, she remembers how she pressed him against the door and wouldn't let him leave, even making him call her "Mom" before he could leave.
Is this the kind of thing a normal woman should do?
They really went to any lengths to win him over.
Now that Ye Tianxing and Qian Renxue's relationship is officially established, Bibi Dong is no longer insistent on it. After all, he is still her son-in-law, and Ye Tianxing cannot deny it. As long as this relationship exists, Bibi Dong does not care about Qian Renxue's opinion.
"Yesterday I tricked Yu Xiaogang again, and his precious apprentice is completely ruined."
After hearing Ye Tianxing's brief explanation, Qian Renxue couldn't help but laugh and say, "He who obtains the Grandmaster can obtain the world. You really have the nerve to say that."
"Of course I can say it!" Ye Tianxing said frankly. The original speaker of these words was Ning Fengzhi. If he had the nerve to say it, why should I have any embarrassment?
"Where is our son?" Ye Tianxing asked with concern.
"I just fed her and she just fell asleep." Qian Renxue rubbed her temples, then leaned on Ye Tianxing's shoulder, saying wearily, "Being a mother is so hard."
"Being the Crown Prince is too difficult."
The two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding each other's difficulties.
"The finals will be held at the Spirit Hall this time. Let's go back together then," Ye Tianxing said softly. He knew all too well that if he woke his son up, he wouldn't get a good night's sleep.
"Okay!" Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, "Bring Feng'er along too, give Grandpa a surprise. Even though we've only been in Heaven Dou City for a little over a year, we've already built a great-grandson for him."
"The old man will be terribly frightened," Ye Tianxing said with a wicked smile. After all, he and Qian Renxue were moving too fast. Qian Daoliu would never have imagined that he even had a great-grandson.
"Then she..."
Ye Tianxing tentatively asked, "After Qian Renxue carried Feng'er back to the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong couldn't possibly be unaware of it. It's better to mention it first, lest the two of them only feel awkward looking at each other later."
Qian Renxue's smile vanished immediately, and she said calmly, "Don't force me to slap you when I'm at my happiest!"
Ye Tianxing: "..."
"She doesn't care about me, so why should I care about her? What does my son have to do with her? Even if she's my Feng'er's grandmother by seniority, I just won't let her touch him! I'll make her furious!" Qian Renxue said. Ye Tianxing had no choice but to agree. Well, it was quite interesting to Bibi Dong.
"Okay, okay! I'll do as you say!"
The couple slept in each other's arms beside their son.
A month passed quickly, and the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament officially commenced!
The Heaven Dou City was bustling with activity that day. Lanterns and decorations adorned the city, and the streets were teeming with people. Tens of thousands of people from across the city were gathering at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena to watch the exciting first day's battles.
Prior to this, there was an extremely solemn ceremony.
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience on both sides of the road, the students from each participating academy strode confidently and arrogantly toward the competition venue.
A person only has this one chance in their life to shine. Whether they become famous at a young age or fade into obscurity, it all comes down to this moment.
The contestants put in their best efforts, hoping to make a lasting impression on the audience so that they would be easily remembered when they made a name for themselves later.
Veteran powerhouses such as Godwind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Skywater Academy, and Thunder Academy walked the red carpet to the competition venue.
However, at that moment, a burst of boisterous laughter gradually came over, and this laughter was contagious.
"Wearing all those sh-green team uniforms, Shrek Academy is truly invincible!"
Are they planning to make their opponents laugh to death and then win the championship?
"Hahaha! That's hilarious!"
Because Flender had taken Ye Tianxing's advice in Suotuo City, he had already made arrangements with the advertisers before the competition started: I'll provide the players, you provide the sponsorship fees, and you can make whatever team uniforms you want!
And that's how this whole situation came about.
Despite the slightly disapproving looks from Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others, Flender strode forward with his head held high, keeping a distance from the students behind him, clearly indicating that he did not know them.
"Look! The Seven Leaf Star team has arrived!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to that direction.
