As for how Tang San made those Hidden Weapons, or even the skills he had learned on the mountain behind the village as a child, Tang Hao could completely ignore all of it.
The stronger Tang San became, the happier he was!
When Tang San had grown up, it would be time to take revenge on Spirit Hall!
Then Tang Hao thought of Xiao Wu at Nuoding Academy. He had never expected that secretly protecting Tang San this time would bring such a pleasant surprise.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast!
And she just happened to be sharing a dormitory with Tang San. This was practically a free Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!
At first, it was not as though he had not considered revealing himself, capturing Xiao Wu, and keeping her confined.
But after thinking it over, he decided against it. Tang San was still too weak to endure the pressure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Unless the Soul Beast willingly offered a Sacrifice, Xiao Wu would need to develop feelings for him, just as Ah Yin had, and willingly sacrifice herself!
Thinking of the scene where Ah Yin had voluntarily sacrificed herself to him, the corners of his lips curled slightly.
Since he had managed it, Tang San should be able to as well!
He believed in his son!
Tang Hao changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book. At first, he had clearly been so cold toward Tang San.
Six years!
During Tang San's six years at Nuoding Academy, Tang Hao would not leave for long periods, ensuring that Xiao Wu truly remained near Nuoding Academy.
After six years, if Xiao Wu intended to part ways with Tang San, Tang Hao would find an opportunity to make his move!
With that thought, a vicious glint flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.
He did not feel too sad about Ah Yin's Sacrifice. After all, he had secretly orchestrated many things behind it. However, he felt that he had let down the Clear Sky Sect, and even more so, his father!
Spirit Hall had gone too far. In order to force him to reveal himself, they had actually come to his door and threatened him!
As a result, his father had been angered to death!
Their crimes were simply unforgivable!
Then Tang Hao thought of Xiao Tian, the one who had defeated his son. That truly surprised him.
From Tang San and Xiao Wu's conversation, he learned that Xiao Tian had kept swords by his side since childhood, and that the Martial Soul he awakened was also an Iron Sword.
As for the faint Sword Intent emanating from him, Tang Hao had only felt it from one person before—Jian Daochen Xin!
Aside from his somewhat poor Martial Soul, Tang Hao believed Xiao Tian was a weaker version of Chen Xin in his youth.
He was a fairly talented genius on the Sword Path!
And since he had come to Nuoding Academy, it meant he had not received an invitation from Spirit Hall. There was a chance he could become Tang San's companion and contribute to Tang San's future battle against Spirit Hall.
Xiao Tian: Damn! What the hell is wrong with you?!
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian's Soul Ring absorption lasted an entire half day. By the time he had completely absorbed it, the sky had already darkened.
Huff, huff, huff~
Xiao Tian could not help taking a long, deep breath as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Good thing his willpower was extraordinary. He had nearly failed to endure it just now.
As expected, a Thousand Year Soul Ring was still different from a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. Even the relatively weak Azure Jade Silkworm's Soul Ring pressure could not be underestimated.
Clang, clang~~
Seeing that its master had finally succeeded, Sword Fifteen happily went limp, its entire blade swaying from side to side in a comical manner.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tian gave his First Soul Skill a name that he considered rather good.
"Wood Condensing Soul!"
Perhaps his luck was good, but this Soul Skill perfectly met his need to amplify Soul Power.
After use, his Soul Power would increase by two hundred percent for half an hour.
It also had a passive effect. Due to the Wood Silkworm's natural attribute, it improved the efficiency with which he absorbed and converted Soul Power.
This pleasantly surprised Xiao Tian. Wasn't this similar to the unceasing effect Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill gave him?
Overall, he was already extremely satisfied with this Thousand Year First Soul Skill!
It was late, and after calculating the time, he realized he had not rested for an entire day and night. He was in no hurry to travel any farther. Taking some dry rations from his Soul Tool, he prepared to rest on the spot!
What Xiao Tian did not know was that, inspired by him, Wang Sheng and the others had truly spread the news that their dormitory had two Soul Masters with Innate Full Soul Power. They also made it known that both had already obtained their First Soul Rings, hoping to make the noble students behave themselves.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chenyu had originally heard that new Work-Study Students had arrived at the academy and intended to cause trouble, only to receive this news from his subordinates.
He immediately hesitated. Innate Full Soul Power did not concern him too much. Although their talent was high, he was still stronger for now.
But obtaining their First Soul Rings only days after entering the academy put Xiao Chenyu on guard.
He immediately sent his men to investigate several of the more capable teachers, but none showed any signs of having left the academy.
This made him suspicious. Could these two have some kind of backing and be pretending to be Work-Study Students just to experience ordinary life and bully weaker people?
Having no other choice, he personally sought out a teacher he knew well to ask about the situation. After looking into it, he learned that Tang San had taken that Master as his teacher the moment he entered the academy.
This made him frown. His father had once told him that he could provoke anyone in the academy, but he absolutely could not provoke those with backing. Yu Xiaogang was precisely someone with immense backing in the academy!
Yet his father had not explained it clearly. In Xiao Chenyu's eyes, Yu Xiaogang was merely a theoretical failure who had remained at Level Twenty-Nine for years. How could someone like that have such great backing?
But recalling his father's stern warning, he made up his mind. He would wait and see. It was definitely not because he was scared!
Weren't they going to obtain their First Soul Rings? Once they returned, he would find out whether they had obtained Ten-Year Soul Rings or Hundred-Year Soul Rings.
If they truly had powerful backing, their First Soul Rings should at least be Hundred-Year Soul Rings, right?
Xiao Chenyu completely failed to realize that he himself was also the son of a noble, yet his First Soul Ring was only a pitiful Ten-Year Soul Ring!
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu was anxiously pacing in circles. She had originally planned to thoroughly question Xiao Tian about where he had gone once he returned that afternoon. Who would have thought he would not return for an entire day!
"Wang Sheng! You all know the academy and Nuoding City better. Let's go look for where Xiao Tian might have gone."
Xiao Wu directly began ordering Wang Sheng and the others around, once again becoming Sister Xiao Wu.
Wang Sheng and the others were also somewhat worried about Xiao Tian. When Tang San disappeared, they only needed to ask around to learn that he had likely gone with Yu Xiaogang to obtain a Soul Ring. But Xiao Tian had Innate Soul Power Level Five. Even if three months had passed, he could at most have reached seventh level, right?
In other words, Xiao Tian could not possibly have gone hunting Soul Beasts. Besides, he was alone and had no teacher with him. Where would he get the courage? They were therefore extremely worried as well.
That afternoon.
Xiao Tian calmly walked into the dormitory. Wang Sheng and the others looked as though they had seen a ghost. Everyone stared silently at Xiao Tian, and those who had been talking all fell silent at once.
Xiao Tian felt that the atmosphere seemed a little off. It was rather awkward, wasn't it? He tentatively raised his right hand and waved. "Hi? Why isn't anyone saying anything?"
"Xiao Tian! Where exactly did you go after disappearing for a whole day? Do you know how hard we looked for you?"
Xiao Wu stormed up to Xiao Tian, glaring fiercely at him.
Xiao Tian could clearly see that Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
