Tang San the Madman: This Face Was Too Ugly Anyway, So He Might as Well Slice It to Shreds
Heaven Dou City.
Tang San looked up at the tall and majestic city tower, overwhelmed with emotion, remembering that he was once the Blue Hao King of the Heaven Dou Empire.
With no time to reminisce, Tang San stepped into this ancient city, intending to find a way to enter the royal family's field of vision.
His Soul Power was only level 53, which was not low on the continent, but in Heaven Dou City he was just an average person with nothing remarkable about him.
It's very difficult to attract the attention of the royal family by relying on Soul Power cultivation.
Unless... the academy!
Yes, Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
He's only 14 years old at most, so participating in this continent-wide elite competition for advanced Soul Master Academy is no problem at all.
He could try to join the academy to attract the attention of the royal family. With his Talent, the royal family would definitely value him highly, even if he is not a nobleman.
Having thought this through, Tang San no longer hesitated and began to act.
Through his inquiries, he found no way to enter the academy, but instead learned some terrible news.
"Damn the Eternal Church! You actually used my father's Spirit Bone as a prize in the competition! You're courting death!" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
Upon hearing that there were three power-type Spirit Bone over 50,000 years old, he immediately knew they were his father's belongings.
"I've been missing for two years. It seems the Eternal Church is trying to lure me out with Spirit Bone. Damn it." Tang San clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
His tens of thousands of years of experience instantly made him realize that this was a calculated move by the Eternal Church.
But that's exactly what he falls for.
Yu Xiaogang, that useless teacher, could betray him without any burden. But Tang Hao, the father who belonged to him in both lives and who had risked his life to save him, was a knot in his heart that he could never let go of.
Tang San sighed, "Sigh, I should try to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first. Originally, I just wanted to use joining the academy as a stepping stone to get in touch with the royal family, but now I might really have to go and compete. I don't want to throw away my father's belongings!"
After gathering information for three or four days, Tang San finally found an opportunity.
It is said that the eldest prince Xue Qinghe, is eager to find talented people and has been recruiting retainers from outside.
Tang San saw this as an opportunity to enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and also an opportunity to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Because of the arrival of the Eternal Church, the Spirit Hall had almost no influence on the continent and probably did not allow Qian Renxue to carry out her plan to usurp the throne.
Because not only are the eldest prince Xue Qinghe and the fourth prince Xue Beng still alive, but the second prince Xue Luochuan and the third prince Xue Haicang are also still alive.
This means that Xue Qinghe has not been replaced by Qian Renxue, Tang San can go find him without worry.
Tang San made a decision: instead of going to find Xue Qinghe immediately, he found some medicinal herbs in Heaven Dou City and then booked a room.
That night, he removed the human skin from his body, and then, filled with hatred, he slashed his face with a knife until it was unrecognizable, and no one could recognize him anymore.
Blood dripped onto the floor, filling the entire room with the stench of blood.
"Hiss--" Tang San endured the excruciating pain in his face and breathed heavily.
He had no choice but to do it.
Because he plans to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, if he were to wear a human skin disguise, ordinary people might find it difficult to tell that it is a disguise, but in the eyes of the strong, this disguise could be seen through at a glance.
Tang San dared not risk his life on such a thing, so he could only ruin his face.
He wasn't sure if it was because of his mother, but his face was anything but handsome; at only fourteen, he already had a fierce look.
Once he becomes a god, he can reshape this face.
Before becoming a god, nothing else mattered. He had nothing left but Sister Sanpao, so he could abandon everything.
After a day of rest and recuperation.
Tang San set off for the Crown Prince's Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and explained his purpose to the palace guards.
Xue Qinghe received Tang San in the back garden.
"What is your name, young brother?" Xue Qinghe asked Tang San with a gentle and refined smile.
"Huo Yuhao." Tang San calmly gave a pseudonym, which was actually the name of his future son-in-law.
Having learned his lesson last time, he dared not use the surname Tang again, feeling it would be too conspicuous.
"Brother Huo, are you interested in joining my cause?" Xue Qinghe raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
Tang San said firmly, "Yes, Yuhao has cultivated diligently for many years, wholeheartedly wanting to serve his country. It's just a pity that the national power has been monopolized by the Eternal Church, which has led to the country being on the verge of collapse, the ruler being on the verge of disgrace, and the nation in danger of crumbling."
Xue Qinghe's expression changed drastically, and he quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop talking. "Alas, young brother, be careful what you say. The Eternal Church brings prosperity to the country and peace to its people, which is a fortunate thing. You must not speak nonsense."
Tang San gave Xue Qinghe a deep look, realizing that he was clearly saying one thing but meaning another. He was only saying that because the Eternal Church was powerful and he didn't fully trust him, so he didn't want to give anyone a handle to use against him.
He sneered inwardly; that was enough.
As long as the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is dissatisfied with the Eternal Church, that's enough.
Tang San didn't expect them to openly follow him in rebelling against the Eternal Church; he figured he'd eventually have a chance to drag them down with him.
Crown Prince Tang San feigned fear and bowed, saying, "Your Highness is right; it was Yuhao misspoke."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Young man, what is your Martial Soul?" Xue Qinghe couldn't help but ask.
Tang San raised his chin slightly and said softly, "Crown Prince Highness, my Martial Soul is the Ice Thorn Bristle-Boar, I am fourteen years old, and a level fifty-three Soul King."
"What? Fourteen years old, a level 53 Soul King? Is this true?" Xue Qinghe was stunned, his face full of shock.
"Your Crown Prince, please take a look."
Tang San immediately Martial Soul Possession, his eyes turned blood red, his arms swelled up, his forearms and chest were covered with dark blue hair, a pair of blood-red fangs protruded from his mouth, and dark blue hair like Ice Thorn grew from his back.
The corruption of the heart led to the corruption of the Martial Soul. The pure white of the Ice Thorn Bristle-Boar turned into a dark blue, and it could increase its Soul Power by devouring flesh and blood.
Strictly speaking, this Martial Soul can no longer be called the Ice Thorn Bristle-Boar; perhaps "Bloodthirsty Bristle-Boar" would be a more accurate description.
Five perfectly matched Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—rose beneath his feet.
Because his physique in this life wasn't particularly outstanding, his fourth Soul Ring was still a purple ring. There was nothing he could do about it, as he hadn't managed to obtain Immortal Herb.
"Good, good, good!" Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed "good" three times in a row. He was overjoyed to be able to recruit such a genius to serve him.
Tang San deactivated his Martial Soul Possession and bowed slightly, saying, "Crown Prince Highness, in order to bring glory to the Heaven Dou Empire, I humbly request permission to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and participate in the competition."
Xue Qinghe chuckled and said, "Yuhao, you came to serve me because you want to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy, right?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince saw through me," Tang San said with an embarrassed smile.
"Haha, go ahead. At your age, you should be making a name for yourself in the competition." Xue Qinghe handed him a token. "With this token, the three members of the Education Committee will arrange for you to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team."
