Meanwhile.
Tang Hao ran with Tang San and Xiao Wu, fleeing two hundred li from Spirit City in one breath and exhausting every last bit of Soul Power in his body.
Immediately afterward, an unprecedented weakness washed over him.
"Whew... damn Live-Stream Sky Screen!"
Tang Hao cursed as he looked up at the sky screen, thinking, If the sky screen hadn't exposed Xiao Wu's identity, I wouldn't have had to detonate nine Soul Rings because of it.
Then, the very next second!
Tang Hao did not see any comments from the Clear Sky Sect or the Four Single-Attribute Sects. What he saw was a flood of frantic reminders all saying the same thing: Tang San had transmigrated here!
"No... impossible... right?"
Tang Hao began to doubt as well, looking uncertainly at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were still unconscious.
"My son isn't my son?"
"My son is an old man in his thirties? I was only forty-four back then, and when Ah Yin was pregnant, I was only forty-three... not that much older than him..."
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and spoke each word slowly, yet the more he said, the less conviction he had.
Scenes from Tang San's childhood rapidly flashed through his mind, and Tang Hao's confidence quickly drained away.
He had been sensible since childhood, meditated from childhood, knew the Purple Demon Eye from childhood, and knew all those hidden weapons from childhood...
A Titled Douluo, one of the strongest beings on the Douluo Continent—there was no need to question his perception.
Even if he drank himself senseless every day, he still knew everything Tang San did.
"No! It must be that cheating device called a system! With something like a system, isn't it normal for Xiao San to have known these things since childhood?"
Tang Hao gradually firmed up his belief and snorted inwardly. Hmph... Dugu Bo, you actually took the lead in slandering my son and even tried to drive a wedge between us father and son? Hmph! You have brought death upon yourself!
Tang Hao did not want to think too deeply about it, because he had his worries. Ah Yin, the old injuries in my body have built up... I can only rely on Xiao San to avenge you now!!
He worried that if Tang San was not his son, how would he avenge her?
Not long afterward, Xiao Wu woke up. When she saw Tang Hao, she was instantly startled.
"Xiao Wu, you don't need to fear me. I'm Xiao San's father."
Xiao Wu said nothing, merely gazing blankly at the still-unconscious Tang San.
Tang Hao said, "I won't kill you, nor will I stop you two from being together. Because... because Xiao San's mother was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that took human form!"
"What? Third Brother's mother was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?"
"That's right! A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor!"
"Hiss..." Xiao Wu sucked in a breath and asked, "So Third Brother's Martial Soul really is the Blue Silver Emperor?"
Tang Hao had not expected Xiao Wu to ask that. He nodded, then said, "I have to say, Grandmaster Yu truly had foresight!"
Xiao Wu: ???
Seeing Xiao Wu's confused expression, Tang Hao sighed and explained, "Sigh... Xiao Wu's mother died at the hands of Spirit Hall. Xiao San... from the moment he was born, he bore a blood feud! It was also destined that Xiao San could not become a support-type Soul Master!"
Xiao Wu suddenly understood. "So that's how it is... then choosing poison-attribute Soul Rings was the right choice."
"Yes. Xiao San's future enemies are very powerful. If he cannot be invincible among those of the same rank... then from the very beginning, Xiao San should never have embarked on the path of a Soul Master!"
Tang Hao sighed emotionally.
Before long, by the time Tang San woke up, Xiao Wu had already left.
"Dad."
"Mhm." Tang Hao answered, "Xiao San, don't let the sky screen affect you. In the future, you will definitely become the strongest Titled Douluo! Just as your teacher said, invincible among those of the same rank!"
"I'll work hard. Dad, I want to know about Mom..."
"This... all right. With the sky screen around, Tang Si from the Different World presumably knows as well."
As Tang San listened, he watched the comments in the sky.
Suddenly!
He saw the speculation that he had transmigrated here.
Tang San's heart instantly skipped a beat, and he thought, The speculation on the sky screen about me transmigrating has been there for a long time. Dad must have seen it already! Gulp... what... what should I do?
"Dad..."
Tang San had barely spoken when Tang Hao waved his hand. "No matter what, I firmly believe in you. You are my son!"
"Dad!" Tears streamed down Tang San's face. With reddened eyes, he rushed forward and threw himself into Tang Hao's arms, crying his heart out.
When had he ever experienced such fatherly love?
At that moment, Tang Hao also became certain that Tang San was his son. Such sincere emotion could not possibly be faked!
Whoever dared tell him again that his son had transmigrated here, he would kill them!
Tang San was both thrilled and anxious. After pondering for a long time, he wiped away his tears and said, "Dad, I actually have a system too, but my system's function isn't something like Popularity Points. It makes me research a kind of hidden weapon from the Tang Sect. The system's ultimate goal is to have me rebuild the Tang Sect!"
After thinking for a long time, Tang San had finally found a perfect excuse.
"Hidden weapons? Rebuild the Tang Sect?"
"Mhm!"
Tang San nodded seriously, then continued, "My system also said that only those who join the Tang Sect can learn the Tang Sect's cultivation methods... Dad, are you willing to join the Tang Sect? I have a cultivation method called the Mysterious Heaven Skill!"
Tang San had no choice but to plan for the future. Tang Si had already mentioned the Mysterious Heaven Skill during the sky screen's livestream. Tang San was certain that all his secrets would eventually be exposed, so the most important thing now was to first gain Tang Hao's absolute trust.
As for Tang San violating the ancestral rules by revealing the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he had been forced into it. Besides, if Tang Hao joined the Tang Sect, it would not count as going against the decision of the sect's ancestors.
"Mysterious Heaven Skill!" Tang Hao was startled again. He had heard Tang Si mention that name on the Live-Stream Sky Screen.
However!
It had to be said that these two really were father and son.
When it came to betraying their sect, the two were exactly alike!
Tang Hao shook his head. "Xiao San, I am a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect and cannot join the Tang Sect. Cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill yourself. Remember, never mention the Mysterious Heaven Skill before anyone in the future until you have the ability to protect yourself."
Here, the Tang Hao father and son were sharing their familial bond.
Elsewhere, the livestream footage, which had returned to everyday campus life, finally changed. The screen went black, and a line of text appeared.
[Ten days later.]
Ten days later, the headmaster of Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy and many teachers led ten upperclassmen to the Soul Hunting Forest.
As one of those with Innate Full Soul Power, Tang Si also joined this Soul Hunting Operation.
Xiao Wu, meanwhile, had taken leave and left the academy several days early to hide away and condense her Soul Ring.
Tang Si glanced at Yu Xiaogang in the group and thought, Why did Yu Xiaogang come along? Could it be that he still refuses to give up? That he still wants to harm me!
Yu Xiaogang kept glancing toward Tang Si, his expression somewhat gloomy and sinister.
