Plans for the Future, Leaving Nuoding City!

High above the ground, the piercing cold astral winds were kept at bay by Tang Hao's thick Soul Power.

Tang San floated quietly beside his father. His amber blue-gold hair, which fell all the way to his ankles, flowed like a dazzling galaxy during their high-speed flight, complementing the profound Life Aura that naturally radiated from his body.

His originally delicate, handsome features had become almost eerily beautiful. In particular, whenever his deep amber-blue eyes opened or closed, they naturally exuded an indescribable majesty.

Tang Hao glanced sideways at his son, pride and worry intertwined in his heart.

He was proud of his son's transformation, yet worried about his astonishing changes. Returning to that small Nuoding City would be like a firefly beside the bright moon. It would be difficult not to attract attention.

"Little San."

Tang Hao's low voice broke the silence. "You look... too different now."

Hearing this, Tang San lowered his head slightly and looked at his hair, which was completely different from before. Feeling the Emperor-level Soul Power surging through his body and the three astonishing Soul Rings, he could not help letting out a bitter smile.

He had indeed overlooked this problem while immersed in the joy of his awakening and the increase in his power.

"Dad, I was just about to talk to you about this."

Tang San's voice remained clear, but it carried an additional steadiness. "If I return to Nuoding Academy looking like this, I'm afraid it will immediately cause an uproar. My differently colored hair might still be explained away as a Martial Soul Mutation, but my temperament and Soul Power Fluctuation have changed from head to toe... There's no way to hide it from anyone with ulterior motives, especially if people from Spirit Hall happen to be there."

He paused, then continued his calm analysis. "Nuoding City is only a small place. News of a 'genius' like me appearing there would spread easily. Once I attract the attention of Spirit Hall's higher-ups, they might conduct an in-depth investigation. My Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul hasn't been exposed yet, but this Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul... I'm worried they'll connect it to Mother."

At the mention of Ah Yin, Tang Hao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and the aura around him turned slightly colder.

He said in a deep voice, "Your concerns are valid. Spirit Hall's reach is everywhere. We can't take any risks. Your mother... must not be disturbed again because of us. Even a potential threat is unacceptable."

The father and son fell into a brief silence. Only the sound of wind howled outside the Soul Power barrier.

Clearly, Nuoding City was no longer suitable as a place for Tang San to remain hidden.

"We have to leave."

Tang Hao finally made his decision, his tone firm and decisive. "Find a completely new place where no one knows us. You need an environment where you can cultivate in peace, temper yourself appropriately, and avoid exposing all your trump cards too soon."

Tang San nodded, deeply agreeing with him.

The key to staying low and developing was concealment and safety. When the original environment was no longer safe, relocating in time was the best course of action.

"Then... what about Xiao Wu?"

Tang San thought of his lively and active companion, his brows knitting slightly. "She's like me, her identity is special. If we suddenly disappear, she probably won't be safe staying at Nuoding Academy either. Besides, she already knows some of the secrets about my First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring..."

A glint flashed through Tang Hao's eyes. He had complicated feelings toward the little rabbit that was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

On one hand, because of Ah Yin, he had a natural sympathy for Soul Beast Transformation.

On the other hand, Xiao Wu's very existence was an enormous risk.

But since his son had formed a bond with her, and she had indeed provided help in the Star Dou Great Forest...

"Bring her along."

Tang Hao was concise. "You can graduate from Nuoding Academy together. Find a suitable reason and leave together. With her around, you may have an additional layer of protection and another choice when obtaining your future Soul Rings."

He was referring to Xiao Wu's relationship with the overlords in the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.

"Good."

Tang San felt reassured.

He had also been somewhat worried about leaving Xiao Wu alone in Nuoding City. Since his father agreed, things could not be better.

"Where do we go next? Heaven Dou City? Or the Star Luo Empire?"

Tang Hao shook his head. "The capitals of the two great empires attract too much attention and are too deeply entrenched with complicated interests. They aren't suitable for us. What we need is a medium-sized city with a large population flow, making it easy to hide, while also possessing enough resources to meet your cultivation needs."

He pondered for a moment as the map of the continent and all kinds of information flashed rapidly through his mind. In the end, he settled on a target.

"We're going to Vast Sea City," Tang Hao said. "The city lies along the southwestern coast of the continent and is an important port. Merchants and travelers pass through in great numbers, making the population complex and our identities easy to conceal. It isn't within the direct sphere of influence of any Great Sect, and Spirit Hall's control there is relatively weak. Moreover, Vast Sea City borders Hurricane Canyon and Mist Forest. Both are excellent places for training. They can provide the Soul Beasts and pressure you need without being as perilous as the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area."

"Vast Sea City..."

Tang San silently repeated the name, feeling that it was indeed a good choice.

The customs and culture of a coastal city differed greatly from those of the inland, which would better conceal their origins.

Moreover, having a port meant having more possibilities. Whether they wanted to obtain rare resources or travel overseas if necessary in the future, they would have another path available.

"When we reach Vast Sea City, you can change your name and start over."

Tang Hao added, "You need to learn how to restrain your aura and Martial Soul characteristics. Before you reach a higher realm, the appearance of your Blue Silver Emperor is far too conspicuous."

He looked at his son's dazzling hair, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

Tang San nodded solemnly. "I understand, Dad. I'll master the techniques for restraining my aura as soon as possible. The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record should contain related methods. In front of outsiders, I'll try to keep my Martial Soul in... well, a more ordinary-looking form."

For someone who possessed the Life Shaping Soul Skill and could finely control the form of the Blue Silver Emperor, this was not difficult.

"As for the reason for graduating..."

Tang San's thoughts were quick, and he immediately came up with an idea. "We'll say that a passing high-level Soul Master took a liking to us and accepted us as disciples, intending to take us elsewhere for further study. Although such a thing is rare, it isn't unheard of in the Soul Master World. It's enough to explain why we suddenly left, and it also makes our future possession of considerable strength plausible."

Tang Hao looked at his son with satisfaction. His mind was meticulous, and he had considered everything thoroughly.

"In that case, we'll speed up, return to Nuoding City, complete the graduation procedures immediately, bring Xiao Wu, and then head straight for Vast Sea City."

After Tang Hao spoke, his Soul Power surged once again. Their flying speed suddenly increased by another notch, turning into a streak of light that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye as it tore across the sky.

Beside his father, Tang San felt the speed of their lightning-fast flight and had already begun planning his life after reaching Vast Sea City.

A new environment, a new identity, new challenges.

But he was fearless. Instead, he was filled with anticipation.

That place would be the starting point where he, as the Blue Silver Emperor, truly began to write his legend.

And this time, he was no longer alone. He had his father's protection, Xiao Wu as an Ally, and the entire Blue Silver Forest as his backing.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Blue Silver Forest. Although he could no longer see it, he could still sense that distant connection and anticipation.

"Wait for me, my subjects. When you hear news of me again, the name of the Blue Silver Emperor will surely resound across the continent!"

His decision made, the road ahead was clear.

Tang San gathered his thoughts and began trying to circulate the technique for restraining his aura from the Mysterious Heaven Skill, working to draw in and settle his overly dazzling Emperor aura and Life Aura bit by bit.

The journey to Vast Sea City would be his first lesson in adapting to his new identity and mastering his new abilities.
