Tang San and the Clashing Memories

"At least when we fight in the future, you will still have the ability to fight back and a chance to survive." This can probably be considered Kai's subtle and shallow act of goodwill as an enemy.

"Do all Soul Beast have to die? I just want to live!"

"..." This time, Kai did not answer.

This is simply a matter of perspective. In the current cultivation system, Soul Master and Soul Beast are destined to be enemies. To be honest, not only do Soul Master kill Soul Beast, but Soul Beast also kill each other. The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are not to be underestimated, given their enormous size.

Given the current number of Soul Master and their demand for Soul Ring, it's estimated that human Soul Master kill fewer Soul Beast than Soul Beast themselves.

It was only with the advent of the Soul Guidance Era, due to the demand for materials for Soul Tool and the ability to store Soul Ring, that large-scale slaughter of Soul Beast began.

···········

"Ah!!!" Xiao Wu let out her last scream and merged into Kai's Sea of Consciousness. At the same time, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly merged into Kai's body, and a powerful force surged through his meridians.

With the integration of the Soul Ring, new Soul Skill information flooded into Kai's mind like a tidal wave.

At the very moment Xiao Wu's soul dissipated, Tang San, who was severely injured and unconscious at the Canghui Academy, suddenly awoke with a start. "Xiao Wu!!"

Chapter 189 Tang San and the Conflict of Memories

Flender and the others were surprised that Tang San could wake up so quickly despite his serious injuries. They immediately sought out a healing Soul Master to check on Tang San's condition.

Tang San was curled up on the cold bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages stained with dark red blood. Every breath he took pulled at his broken bones, bringing him excruciating pain.

But the physical pain was nothing compared to the mental torment—the memories of the Sea God Tang San, like a flood bursting its banks, carrying immense divine power and a thousand years of vicissitudes, surged wildly into his mind.

Golden phantoms of deities flickered before his eyes. Scenes of the solemnity of the underwater temple, the majesty of wielding the Sea God's Trident, and the clash with powerful beings from the Divine Realm flashed by, impacting his consciousness.

His memories of this life are equally vivid: the innocent days in Holy Soul Village, his encounter at the Nuoding Academy, the warmth of spending every day with Xiao Wu, the pain of being defeated...

Two completely different memories collided fiercely in his Sea of Consciousness, the divine perspective overlooking all living beings and the emotions of mortals tearing each other apart, making his consciousness teeter on the brink of collapse.

"Ugh--" Tang San suddenly clutched his head and roared, his nails digging deep into his scalp, blood seeping out from between his fingers. The conflict between the two perceptions almost tore his soul apart.

"Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu!" In the chaos, only Xiao Wu's name echoed clearly in his heart. This name was like a faint but tenacious light, supporting him to barely maintain a sliver of clarity in the storm of memories, but the severe headache still caused his whole body to spasm, and painful groans kept overflowing from the depths of his throat, as if he was about to be completely swallowed up by this torrent of memories.

Tang San's seemingly insane state puzzled the support Soul Master who came to treat him.

Those external injuries have been mostly treated; although they haven't fully healed, this situation will definitely not recur.

"How is Tang San doing?" Flender asked hurriedly.

"Logically speaking, although these wounds would cause pain to the patient, Soul Master's physical condition shouldn't be in this much pain. Besides, there were no injuries on the head during the previous examination," the support Soul Master said, puzzled.

Left with no other option, in order to prevent Tang San from hurting himself, Flender had to tie Tang San to the bed.

···················

The next day, Tang San, who had completely integrated the memories of this life, looked confused and pained.

He now knows Xiao Wu's identity, and now that she's been captured, her chances of survival are slim.

Moreover, a new Blue Silver Blue Silver Emperor has appeared in the Blue Silver Grass clan, rendering his own Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul useless.

Even the Shrek Seven Devils changed. First, Ning Rongrong didn't come to the Shrek Academy, then Zhu Zhuqing ran away, and finally Dai Mubai left...

Why did my life take such a completely different turn this time?

Tang San began to ponder why this life was different from his previous one.

The first person that popped into Tang San's mind was Kai, the child who shouldn't have appeared in Holy Soul Village.

Then there's Qian Xunji, the man who should have been killed by his own father long ago.

wrong...

In his previous life, Qian Xunji died because the Spirit Hall was hunting down his parents. In this life, his mother Ah Yin's identity has been revealed to the entire continent, and his parents are not only being hunted down by the Spirit Hall. It's normal that Qian Xunji didn't die!

The variables had already appeared long before I was born.

Tang San's eyes flickered as he tried to find the unusual factors that had caused the changes in his life.

However, there were too many abnormal factors, which prevented Tang San from accurately identifying them in a short time.

"Xiao Wu, I will definitely avenge you!" Tang San clenched his fist, drops of red blood falling as he swore.

However, Tang San, who sees the world from the perspective of a God King, was not yet able to accept the fact that he was still just a Soul Ancestor.

Tang San hadn't realized that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was ruined, and he couldn't even use the Clear Sky Hammer in front of outsiders before becoming Titled Douluo.

This is different from his previous life. In his previous life, Tang San and Tang Hao only had the Spirit Hall as their enemy. Even if they disobeyed orders and exposed their Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, they would only encounter some targeting. The Spirit Hall would not openly attack them.

During the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, everyone knew that Tang San's father Tang Hao, was the murderer who severely injured the Spirit Hall Pope, Qian Xunji, leading to his death. However, he did not kill Tang San, the son of his enemy, on the spot.

But this life is different. If Tang San dares to reveal his identity, he won't survive past the next day unless Tang Hao shows up to save him!

···························

On the other side, Kai had successfully absorbed the Soul Ring skills and was now absorbing the Soul Bone.

One of their Soul Skill is Emptiness, and the other is Charm.

Xiao Wu's proudly Self-Created Soul Skill, the Explosive Kill Eight-Stage Throw, was intentionally not meant for Kai.

A few days later, after the Soul Bone, Kai also learned about the effects of the two Soul Bone Skill through his spiritual sense.

Invincibility and teleportation.

Soul Bone and Soul Ring are different. Soul Ring skills are Soul Beast with the Soul Master's own Martial Soul and are suitable for the Soul Skill Soul Master to use.

Soul Bone is the product of Soul Beast's highly concentrated cultivation. For Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it represents the culmination of countless years of cultivation, and its energy and understanding of the rules of heaven and earth are all condensed into this Soul Bone. The attribute boost from absorbing it far exceeds that of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

In short, Soul Bone is a condensation of immense cultivation, a legacy of core abilities, and a carrier of soul energy.

The Soul Skill contained within are fixed from the beginning.

Having obtained the desired Soul Skill, Kai was finally satisfied; he lacked nothing.

Even his Soul Power was directly boosted to level 54 due to the immense energy of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

Li Bai watched Kai experiment with his Soul Skill with a bit of boredom; he already had similar effects to these skills.

I'll give the Immortal Pill to Rongrong when I get back. This time I left her behind and ran away; that girl's going to be angry again.

························

Canghui Academy

Having figured out the current situation, Tang San wanted to leave as soon as he recovered from his injuries.

In this life, he and the people from the Shrek Academy were defeated by the Heaven Dou First Team, they did not go to Heaven Dou City, nor did they encounter Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, and they did not obtain the Immortal Herb.

He needs to go to Sunset Forest to get the Immortal Herb.

With his father Tang Hao's protection, even if Dugu Bo encounters an accident and refuses to hand over the Herb Garden, he will be able to forcibly seize the Immortal Herb this time.

Thinking of Tang Hao, Tang San's expression also turned sour.

Since his father had always been by his side and knew Xiao Wu's identity, why couldn't he protect Xiao Wu this time? In his previous life in Spirit City, his father was able to successfully take him and Xiao Wu away!

···············

Flender and Yu Xiaogang walked out of Tang San's room together.

For some reason, Tang San's demeanor was completely different after he was injured this time.

Flender wasn't very educated, but he felt that Tang San was looking at him strangely, which made him uncomfortable.

However, Yu Xiaogang, as a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was well aware of this kind of look.

High above, indifferent and self-absorbed, the gaze of the strong.

Yu Xiaogang has been looked at like this countless times. His elder brother looked at him like this when he awakened his Martial Soul, Qian Xunji looked at him like this when he was in the Spirit Hall, and now even Tang San, who is the most respectful to his teachers, dares to look at him like this...

An unnamed rage ignited in Yu Xiaogang's heart.

Tang San was unaware that his eyes betrayed him.

After he became a god, he accepted the worship of mortals. Even when Xue Beng, who had become the Heaven Dou Emperor, knelt down and wanted to continue being his disciple, Tang San, who had become a god, refused.

Not to mention his teacher Yu Xiaogang when he was a mortal, Tang San already showed respect for his teacher by not making Yu Xiaogang kneel and kowtow.

Now, this habitual way of looking at people reveals Tang San's change.

That very evening, Tang San found Tang Hao and told him about his plan to go to Sunset Forest, hoping that Tang Hao would secretly help him.

Tang Hao frowned, his eyes revealing doubt and wariness. He stared at Tang San and asked in a low voice, "Little San, how do you know that there are Immortal Herb in Sunset Forest, and how do you know about Dugu Bo?"

Tang San's heart tightened. He knew Tang Hao was straightforward, and it would be difficult to convince him without a reasonable explanation.

But there were some things he didn't want Tang Hao to know so soon, such as his memories of his past life. So, Tang San scratched his head, gave a simple and honest smile, and said, "Dad, please don't ask. I have my own way. I only learned by chance that there is Titled Douluo named Dugu Bo in Sunset Forest. He has some precious herbs that can greatly help my cultivation."

Tang Hao was clearly not satisfied with this answer. His eyes sharpened, and he continued to press, "Coincidence? There aren't that many coincidences. Are you hiding something from me?"

Tang San inwardly cursed, but he remained calm and said, "Dad, I really can't say. Please believe me this time. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. Right now, I just need you to take me to Sunset Forest. If we can reach an agreement with Dugu Bo, that would be great; if not, you can help me then."

Tang Hao remained silent for a long time. Looking at Tang San's determined eyes, he felt a little wavering. He knew that Tang San had always been smart and sensible. Just like when he was young in Holy Soul Village, he would do laundry, cook, and take care of him, the drunken blacksmith. He wouldn't make such a request without a reason.

Finally, Tang Hao sighed and said, "Alright, Xiao San, I'll believe you this time. But remember, no matter what happens, tell me immediately. Don't bear it all alone."

Tang San was overjoyed and quickly nodded, saying, "Thank you, Dad. I understand. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

But Tang San didn't see the scrutiny in Tang Hao's eyes.

Another secret...

Early the next morning, Tang San left a letter and departed with Tang Hao.

Flender looked at the empty room, filled with a sense of desolation.

He was also very saddened by Xiao Wu's accident, but as the Dean, he had already done his best.

No one knows what these students' backgrounds are, or why such a powerful enemy would cause trouble for two Soul Ancestor students.

Of all the students at Shrek, besides Oscar and Ma Hongjun, whom he had watched grow up, his favorites were Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"Xiao San said he'll come back, with new teammates, back to Shrek." Zhao Wuji had already read the letter once, and seeing Flender's unhappiness, he awkwardly offered some words of comfort.

"Zhao Wuji, you don't understand..." Flender sighed as he looked at the dumbfounded Zhao Wuji. Tang San's expression changed.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Wu's accident was a huge blow to Tang San!

Flender internally tried to explain and excuse Tang San.
