Su Yuntao's Broken Leg! Mangekyō Sharingan—Awaken!

"Shh!"

Su Yuntao hurriedly covered Taichu's mouth. "You brat, don't spout nonsense. How can you directly call the Pope by name?!"

If someone heard that and it got out, things would be terribly bad.

"Just keep thoughts like that to yourself. Never say them aloud."

Su Yuntao warned him.

He knew perfectly well why Spirit Hall had punished him. He was deeply dissatisfied and felt it was unfair, but he did not dare say so openly. He could only brood over it in silence.

After all, he was just a nobody, unable to control his own fate.

Just one word from above had sent him to the Angel Hunting Squad, where the death rate was as high as thirty percent, for a three-month mission.

If he showed any further dissatisfaction and those above found out, it would no longer be three months. It might be three years, thirty years, or perhaps they would not let the matter go until he died completely during some mission.

"Uncle..."

Taichu looked at Su Yuntao, not knowing what to say. He felt it was his fault. His uncle had struck Yu Xiaogang for his sake, which had drawn Bibi Dong's retaliation.

"You brat, this isn't your fault. Even if I had to do it again, I'd still beat that trash senseless."

Su Yuntao said with a smile.

"However, I haven't reported your discovery that Whale Rubber can improve Physical Quality and allow Soul Masters to absorb Soul Rings of higher age. I've thought it over, and let's forget about reporting it to Spirit Hall."

In a low voice, he stated his decision.

This reaction surprised Taichu somewhat.

Ever since his Martial Soul awakened, he had told Su Yuntao about the special effects he had discovered in Whale Rubber. That was why Su Yuntao had bought a large amount of Whale Rubber for testing, all with his consent.

And after confirming that Whale Rubber really could improve Physical Quality and allow the body to withstand Soul Rings of higher age.

This discovery.

Su Yuntao had wanted to offer it to Spirit Hall. However, since there had been no successful cases, he had planned to report the discovery after Taichu absorbed a five- or six-hundred-year Soul Ring.

But then.

Who could have expected that before he even reported the matter to Spirit Hall.

Yet.

Spirit Hall had directly given Su Yuntao such a "pleasant surprise," thoroughly breaking his heart. This had completely extinguished his desire to report Whale Rubber's effects to Spirit Hall.

"Alright."

Taichu had no objection.

In fact.

When Su Yuntao had wanted to offer Whale Rubber's effects to Spirit Hall, Taichu had not objected either. If it could help his uncle advance further, it would not have been a bad thing.

As for Whale Rubber resources, he would certainly buy them up in bulk before making the report. There would definitely be more than enough for him and his uncle to use.

But now, it seemed.

Spirit Hall truly did not deserve it!

"Most of my savings are in here. Keep them with you for now."

"And this is the deed to this courtyard. Keep it safe."

"These are the savings left by your father, your sister, and your brother-in-law. Keep them too, and don't spend them carelessly."

"On the path of cultivation, you can seek out Sisi and Uncle Ma. Especially Uncle Ma—your father and he were once brothers who would lay down their lives for each other. He is absolutely trustworthy..."

Su Yuntao took out a Spatial Soul Tool and carefully gave instruction after instruction, as though he were arranging his final affairs.

"Uncle, I'll remember it all."

Taichu nodded. Su Yuntao's words warmed his heart, but thinking of his uncle's situation filled him with sorrow.

This matter had already been settled and could not be changed.

He could only pray in his heart that his uncle would return safely from this journey.

The next day.

Su Yuntao set off.

He joined the Angel Hunting Squad to carry out a three-month mission.

In the courtyard.

Taichu silently roasted the Whale Rubber until it softened. The Sharingan Martial Soul surfaced unconsciously in his eyes, its three tomoe spinning rapidly as if they were about to connect, yet seeming to fall just short by a trace.

He did not even notice this change himself.

After softening the Whale Rubber.

He swallowed the Hundred Year Whale Rubber in one gulp.

A scorching sensation immediately rose within his body.

Seeing this.

Taichu hurriedly circulated the Meditation Method and began cultivating.

This time, he truly realized what it felt like to have his fate beyond his own control.

He never wanted to experience that feeling again. So he had to grow stronger—unimaginably strong—strong enough that no one could dictate his fate or the fate of those around him.

Three months was not a short time.

But for Taichu, who immersed himself wholly in cultivation, it passed in the blink of an eye.

Three months.

He ate Whale Rubber almost every day.

During the first month, Ten Year and Hundred Year Whale Rubber had already ceased to work.

During the second month, he began taking Thousand Year Whale Rubber, one third each day. Over the month, he consumed ten pieces of Thousand Year Whale Rubber, but its effects had also become negligible.

During the third month, the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber he had ordered arrived. He divided it into portions, but even taking only a small part each day nearly proved too much for him to endure. After a month, he had consumed only half of it.

And today.

"Taichu, your uncle is back."

Someone brought him the news.

Taichu was confused when he received it. There should still have been several days left before the three months were up. Could the Angel Hunting Squad have allowed his uncle to return early?

With that question in his heart, he went to the Martial Soul Hall Branch.

To his surprise.

He ran into Yu Xiaogang, with a boy around his own age standing beside him.

"So this is Tang San?"

Taichu glanced at him, a flicker of Killing intent passing through his eyes.

Tang Hao had killed his parents. The enmity of murdered parents was irreconcilable, and Tang San, as Tang Hao's son, was naturally an enemy as well. But his uncle's situation came first, so he suppressed the Killing intent in his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and walked inside.

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened when he saw him.

"Teacher, do you know that person?"

Tang San noticed the look on his teacher's face and could not help asking.

"A Trash Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power. I kindly wanted to accept him as my disciple and change his fate with my Martial Soul theories, yet he had no manners and even insulted me. Rotten wood cannot be carved."

Yu Xiaogang let out a Cold snort, still holding a grudge over what had happened months ago.

"Teacher, I will definitely prove to the world that you are right."

Tang San's face turned cold. That person had dared insult his teacher; he had already embarked on the Way of Seeking Death.

"Hmph! Don't waste your thoughts on him. You are different from him. Without my guidance, he is destined to be trash. Xiao San, under my Martial Soul theories, you will surely become the strongest Titled Douluo."

The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth lifted slightly. Now that he had accepted Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls, he no longer regarded Taichu and his Innate Full Soul Power as worthy of notice. Even if Taichu knelt and begged him, he would not think highly of him.

Inside the Branch Hall.

Ma Xiunuo looked at Su Yuntao before him and let out a deep sigh.

"It is good enough that you came back alive."

At those words.

A smile tugged at Su Yuntao's pale face.

"Yes. Being able to come back alive, I feel that I'm very fortunate."

Compared to those comrades who had died, it was truly lucky that he, a Soul Grandmaster, had returned alive.

Just then.

"Uncle, y-your leg..."

The moment Taichu entered, he saw Su Yuntao sitting there. His gaze moved downward, and the empty space where Su Yuntao's Left Leg should have been made it clear that his uncle had returned early not because of luck, but because he had been injured.

At once, the Sharingan Martial Soul unconsciously surfaced in his eyes. The three tomoe spun rapidly, faintly seeming as if they were about to connect.

Just then.

"A crude brute with no manners. He deserved to lose a leg!"

After walking in and seeing Su Yuntao's condition, Yu Xiaogang immediately mocked him.

"Shut up!"

Those words directly provoked Taichu. He spun around sharply and stared fixedly at Yu Xiaogang. At that moment, the rapidly spinning Three Tomoe in his eyes finally connected, forming an entirely new pattern.

This was the Ultimate Heavenly Eye said to see through the Three Realms—the Mangekyō Sharingan!!!
