Tang Hao Makes His Move, "Heaven"

Lu Yan knew Tang San was merely a trapped beast struggling.

Relying on his understanding of Hidden Weapon Techniques, he easily dodged the incoming hidden weapons.

Lu Yan also dodged Tang San's final attack.

Tang San despaired.

More and more Silver Points fused into him. With a "pfft," Tang San fell flat on his back, his body slipping out of his control.

He was a dignified master of hidden weapons, yet he had been defeated by a child barely over six years old. He might even lose his life.

Lu Yan did not hesitate. With a flap of his Butterfly Wings, his body streaked through the air and landed before Tang San more than ten meters away.

Bang!

He stomped down hard.

Even though Tang San could not control his body, the blow still forced a mouthful of bloody froth from him.

Blood was still seeping from Lu Yan's calf. When the hidden weapons had come at him, he had adjusted his body. Though the weapons had pierced him, they had not injured anything vital—only flesh wounds.

"You shouldn't have provoked me."

Lu Yan drew the Short Knife at his waist and gripped it tightly, cold light flashing in his eyes.

Die!

The blade flashed with a cold gleam in the air, swift as lightning, accompanied by the sound of Air Breaking.

Tang San watched helplessly as the blade crept closer and closer to his throat, the chill growing heavier.

His skin went cold.

Under Mental Severance, there was nothing he could do. He could only wait for death.

"Stop."

An ancient, deep voice came from ahead.

Lu Yan ignored it and continued pressing down. There was clearly nothing there to block him, yet his arm could not advance another inch.

Tang San, lying on the ground, narrowed his Pupils. That voice... why did it sound so much like... Dad?

Yet it carried a domineering presence it had never possessed before.

"At such a young age, don't let your desire to kill grow too heavy."

Lu Yan frowned and looked ahead.

On a large tree over twenty meters away stood a middle-aged man in a Black Robe, scruffy-bearded, arms folded across his chest.

Tang Hao really had been following Tang San at all times.

"He wanted to kill me, so I'll kill him."

Lu Yan did not loosen his grip.

Tang Hao nodded. "That is true enough, but since I am here today, you cannot kill this youth."

"The weak must submit to the strong."

As soon as he finished speaking—

Bang!

Before Lu Yan could react, an invisible force sent him flying.

"Get lost. I won't kill you."

Tang Hao had not even changed his posture. With nothing but his aura, he had sent Lu Yan flying.

Lu Yan climbed to his feet and stared at Tang Hao, saying in a low voice:

"I will remember what you have done today, Senior. One day, I will definitely reclaim this debt."

Pain wracked both his body and mind.

"I'll be waiting." Tang Hao did not care in the slightest.

Lu Yan turned and left in a miserable state.

He currently had no ability to fight Tang Hao. Tang Hao did not even need to move to easily kill him with his killing intent alone.

The gap between them was too great.

With Tang Hao present, there was no way he could kill Tang San.

A moment later.

Tang San regained control of his body and turned toward where the voice had come from.

There was no one there.

Tang San shouted:

"Dad, is that you?"

"Dad, is that you?"

Tang Hao hid behind the tree without showing himself, but he still replied:

"Xiao San, you are the son of Tang Hao. You are destined to walk the path of invincibility. I hope that the next time we meet, you can win it back.

Don't disappoint me again."

Tang Hao looked at his shouting son, placing great expectations upon him.

The reason he had not killed Lu Yan was that he hoped Tang San could defeat Lu Yan himself and develop an invincible momentum.

Back Then, he had defeated every peer in the world. No one had been his opponent.

As his son, Tang San had to achieve the same, or even do better, lest he disappoint his father's expectations.

"Yes, your son will definitely not lose again."

Tang San understood that he had still underestimated his opponent.

He had not expected a six-year-old child to possess such decisiveness.

Next time, he would not give Lu Yan any opportunity.

"Xiao San, your father is leaving. I have a blood debt to collect. Grandmaster is quite good; he can provide you with considerable help on your path of growth."

"Dad, I want to... see you."

But no answer came.

"Cough, cough, cough~~"

Lu Yan covered his chest with one hand and steadied himself against a tree trunk with the other.

Only after circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill several times did he finally feel some relief.

"Tang Hao, I'll remember today's grudge."

A cold light flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. He set off again. To regain his dignity, he would definitely take revenge.

He was not someone who repaid grievances with kindness.

One month later.

Near Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City, a shop called "Heaven" had appeared.

A sign hung at its entrance, bearing the words:

"Do you want to experience the power of a Titled Douluo?

Do you want to experience the feeling of being surrounded by wives and concubines, adored by beauties?

Do you want to experience wielding the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other?

Everything you desire, everything you seek, is within.

The gates of Heaven are open for you."

At that moment, however, the shop's owner was cultivating by the second-floor windowsill, facing the rising sun.

Strands of Purple Light flowed into his Black Eyes and sank deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

"As expected of a complete cultivation method for Spiritual Power. Its effects are truly remarkable."

After a short while, Lu Yan opened his eyes and could not help sighing.

This was not his first time cultivating Purple Demon Eyes, but every improvement still delighted him.

Before leaving Nuoding City, he had already made his plans. He would head directly to Heaven Dou City.

This was where everything began. He had already obtained the Immortal Herb Illustrated Record. The only thing left was to find a way into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and make Dugu Bo agree to let him use the immortal herbs.

Neither would be easy.

But there was no need to panic. Tang San would not arrive in Heaven Dou City for at least another seven or eight years. He had ample time to plan for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Heaven, meanwhile, was a shop he had opened specifically to enter Dreams. As for where the money had come from—

Naturally, he had encountered Bandits who blocked the road to rob him. After robbing the rich to help the poor and taking action, he had vomited for quite a while.

His cultivation ended.

Lu Yan returned to the first floor and lay down on a Lounge Chair, his small body looking slightly out of place.

Before long.

A commotion rose outside as people read his advertising slogan aloud.

Lu Yan stood up and smiled.

Business had arrived.

A Dream journey realistic enough to pass for the truth—once they experienced it, they would definitely be unable to resist trying it again.

That feeling of sinking into it would be exhilarating.

"What arrogance. I'd like to see what this Heaven looks like today."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Amid a flurry of voices, a group of people poured into the shop.

Wang Ye was the first to enter. Seeing an interior even more shabby than an ordinary shop, with only two Lounge Chairs, he was deeply disappointed.

He had thought a shop bold enough to boast like that would at least be somewhat special.

"Kid, where are your adults? Customers are here, and they don't even know to come out and greet them," shouted a tall, skinny man like a Bamboo Pole behind Wang Ye.

"Forget it, let's go." Wang Ye turned away in disappointment. It was nothing but false advertising.

"Sir, it's too early to say that. Why not calm down and experience it for yourself?

For our grand opening, the first three people may experience the wonders of Heaven for free."

These were customers he had finally managed to get.

Lu Yan did not want to let them get away.

The first success of his new shop had to make a splash.

It was also for the future. He wanted to be the fisherman who reaped the reward, to lure out the disheartened people within Heaven Dou City.

Liu Erlong, Tang Yuehua, and Qian Renxue, who had never known a mother's love.

He would make them willingly walk into his trap.
