Night fell, and all was quiet.
With only one round left in the elimination rounds, this will also be the last night for all the participating students at the Royal Hunting Ground.
Inside the dimly lit tent, the oil lamp burned with a meager light, casting a long shadow of Tang San.
Before Tang San stood Tang Hao, clad in a black robe.
"How badly are you injured?"
Tang Hao cast a reluctant glance his way.
The son was wrapped in gauze, covered in sword wounds of all sizes, and his right hand was pierced by the Seven Star Sword. Fortunately, he was treated by a healing-type Spirit Master, which prevented Tang San from being crippled.
"He won't die yet."
Tang San shook his head blankly, his eyes glazed over.
"Dad, does Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring have two Spirit Ring skills?"
Tang San asked this question because when he faced Ye Ping'an's Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ability, he originally thought it was the same move he used to deal with Xiao Wu. However, he was surprised to find that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring actually had two Spirit Ring skills.
Under Tang San's questioning gaze, Tang Hao slowly nodded. " The Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring does indeed come with two Spirit Ring skills."
"Hateful!"
Tang San trembled slightly. The physical pain was nothing compared to the deep pain in his heart.
Next door was Xiao Wu's dormitory. At that moment, Xiao Wu was lying on her side, silently shedding tears.
During the time Xiao Wu was injured, Tang San, who was also seriously injured, was carried to see Xiao Wu. During this process, Xiao Wu was conscious.
However, she didn't want to be awake; she wanted to stay asleep forever.
"Now that I've become like this, does my brother no longer want me?"
Xiao Wu shed tears, the bruises on her face still visible; she truly had no face to face her brother.
" Ye Ping'an, I will avenge my poor little bunny and my own grudge in the future, Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu silently licked her wounds, following the instincts of Spirit Beast, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls, unable to stop.
The dormitory next door.
"Dad, you're saying the Spirit Hall is plotting against me?" Tang San was quite shocked.
Tang Hao nodded, his expression grave, and said, " The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall have too deep a grudge. As my son, you possess the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. Do you really think the journey to the Spirit Hall will be peaceful?"
" The Heaven Dou Empire is an empire, after all. How dare the Spirit Hall attack them?" Tang San asked.
" The Spirit Hall is arrogant and domineering; there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do. This time, I've contacted your uncle to go down the mountain, and he will secretly escort you safely to the Spirit Hall."
After saying this, Tang Hao got up and prepared to leave.
"Dad, what about you?"
Tang San's burning gaze fell upon his father's imposing figure.
"My affairs are none of your business."
Tang Hao snorted coldly, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes, as he looked towards the area where Ye Ping'an was.
Spirit Hall.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong held a letter from Salas, the master of the Spirit Hall Main Hall of Heaven Dou City, about Tang San. The letter mainly described that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass seemed to have the effect of sucking blood, and also mentioned the Clear Sky Hammer, which was of great importance.
The Clear Sky Hammer is a sensitive term in the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed, and she burned the letter in the fire. Then she ordered, "Have Gui Mei and Yue Guan withdraw. There's no need to carry out the plan to hunt down Tang San."
"Yes."
A sound came from the darkness, and a dark shadow vanished in an instant.
Tang San will eventually come to the Spirit Hall, and his son-in-law is among the troops accompanying the Heaven Dou City army. It would be bad if he were accidentally injured.
"I now declare that the elimination rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament have come to an end."
After Xue Ye announced the end of the competition, he launched into a speech of encouragement and inspiration, saying that this competition was the most promising one in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he hoped that everyone would do their best to show the spirit of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The finals of this competition will be held at the Spirit Hall. The Emperor dispatched Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as an envoy to lead a team to the Spirit Hall to participate in the competition. During this time, five hundred soldiers will be responsible for the safety of everyone.
After the elimination rounds ended, the students returned to their respective academies to pack their belongings and actively prepare for the next round.
Inside the Shrek Academy carriage.
Liu Erlong looked worried, with Xiao Wu lying unconscious on his lap.
"It's been two days and Xiao Wu still hasn't woken up. That scoundrel Ye Ping'an has no mercy and has beaten my daughter to a pulp."
Liu Erlong's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt angry whenever Ye Ping'an was mentioned.
Her beloved Yu Xiaogang was "framed" by Ye Ping'an, which not only ruined his reputation and left him with a bad name for all time, but also left him missing and his fate unknown.
Liu Erlong's hatred for Ye Ping'an was no less than that for Tang San.
Inside the carriage.
Tang San lay flat, his injuries mostly healed. They would return to the academy and have three days to prepare before setting off.
From Heaven Dou City to the Spirit Hall, most people travel by carriage, a journey that takes about twenty days.
During the journey, Tang San's injuries were nothing to worry about.
" The Spirit Hall could suddenly appear at any time, so I must give it my full attention."
Tang San deeply felt the terror of the Spirit Hall. This organization, independent of the two great empires, didn't even respect the empires and dared to openly come to kill him.
" Spirit Hall, I, Tang San, will destroy you in my lifetime."
Tang San made a silent vow in his heart.
Ye Clan.
Ye Tianxing was packing his luggage. It had been two months since he last returned to the Spirit Hall. This time, he would be setting off with the Heaven Dou Empire's team.
" Gui Mei and Yue Guan will probably ambush us."
Based on Ye Tianxing's understanding of Bibi Dong, the latter was someone who couldn't tolerate any nonsense. As for Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's disciple, who was also a Spirit Master with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, he would be even more intolerant of him.
"I have to keep an eye on Tang Hao all the way. That guy is no pushover. What if he ambushes me on the way?"
After Ye Tianxing finished tidying up, he immediately convened a meeting of the elders.
Elders Yang Wudi, Bai He, and Niu Gao arrived, while Dugu Bo was late.
"Sect Master, you are about to go to the Spirit Hall. Do you need any of us to accompany you?" Yang Wudi asked.
Ye Ping'an has a noble status and is the head of a sect, so no mistakes can be made.
The Spirit Hall operates in a peculiar way; no one can figure them out. What if they launch a surprise attack on us halfway through our journey?
Ye Tianxing nodded, looked around at everyone, and said, "That's why I've gathered everyone here. Elder Yang Wudi, Elder Dugu Bo, I'd like to trouble you two to come with me to the Spirit Hall."
"Elder Niu Gao and Elder Bai He are responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the sect. I entrust them to you two during my absence from the sect."
"Yes," Niu Gao Bai He replied.
"Yes." Yang Wudi nodded.
"Going to the Spirit Hall is no problem, but I have a feeling that our Ye Clan is being targeted." Dugu Bo frowned.
