I Am the Sea God's Heir

Tang San did not maintain the mark for long. On one hand, his physical body was not strong enough yet. On the other, he feared that the current Sea God in the God Realm might notice something and cause unnecessary complications.

"To protect my growth and initiate the divine trials, he told me many things, including Mother's vengeance, the fact that you are a Titled Douluo, and that Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

"So that's how it is." Tang Hao suddenly understood, followed by wild delight. "Haha! Spirit Hall! The day my son becomes a god will be the day Spirit Hall falls!" Tang Hao laughed heartily. If he had previously only seen hope for vengeance against Spirit Hall, then revenge was now merely a matter of time.

"Little San, from this day onward, your father will do everything in his power to help you become a god." Tang Hao patted Tang San's shoulder and spoke resolutely.

"Father, now is not the time to celebrate. Before I have fully grown, nothing is certain. Besides, the Sea God has always had an enemy, and he has chosen an heir as well." Tang San's face turned cold as he gritted his teeth.

"That 'Huo Yuhao'?" Tang Hao immediately thought of the name Tang San had called out earlier.

"That's right. The Sea God has an enemy in the God Realm—the Emotion God. The Sea God devotes himself wholeheartedly to the development of the God Realm, but the Emotion God is an unpredictable madman who likes to oppose the Sea God in everything. That is why they became mortal enemies who would not rest until one of them was dead."

"And now, I am the Sea God's heir, while Huo Yuhao is the Emotion God's heir. The two of us are destined to stand against each other."

"The Sea God gave me certain information, and the Emotion God must have told Huo Yuhao the same things. Xiao Wu cannot be found anywhere in the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Huo Yuhao must have captured her." Tang San's eyes were nearly bloodshot. He had never expected Huo Yuhao, who had only dared to use Zhu Zhuqing to test him, to dare take Xiao Wu from Er Ming's grasp. No, perhaps it was not just Xiao Wu. Da Ming and Er Ming might very well have fallen victim to him too.

The thought that Xiao Wu might already have been harmed and turned into Huo Yuhao's soul ring tore Tang San's heart apart.

"Little San, you must stay calm. Since this Huo Yuhao could capture Xiao Wu from the Titan Giant Ape, he is certainly no ordinary opponent," Tang Hao comforted him.

Naturally, he hoped that the tragedy between himself and Ah Yin could find a happy resolution through Tang San and Xiao Wu. But now that Tang San had been chosen by a god, he was Tang Hao's hope for vengeance. He could not be delayed for Xiao Wu's sake.

"Father, don't worry. I won't act impulsively. But there is one thing you must help me with. Right now, you are the only one I can rely on." Tang San spoke with utter sincerity.

"Say it. As your father, I will definitely do it." Tang Hao pounded his chest in assurance.

"Deep within Sunset Forest lies a treasured land called the Icefire Yin Yang Well. It is a paradise for plant-type soul beasts. There, the cultivation speed of plant soul beasts can reach a ratio of one to ten—one year of cultivation is equal to ten years." Tang San's tone carried deeper meaning. Naturally, he knew what his father cared about most.

"What? Is what you said true?" Tang Hao excitedly grabbed Tang San's shoulders and shook him. "It can really be one to ten?"

"That is what the Sea God told me. We will only know for certain after seeing it, but if it is true, our family of three will soon be reunited."

"Good! Good! Good!" Tang Hao shouted "good" three times.

"The Sea God also said that not only does the place benefit plant soul beasts, but the immortal herbs growing within are rare opportunities for soul masters as well. They can improve one's cultivation aptitude and greatly benefit my cultivation. If immortal herbs are refined into pills, they can even benefit Titled Douluo." Tang San spoke seriously.

Hearing this, Tang Hao's eyes gradually lit up. He had spent too many years in despondence and had truly delayed his cultivation too much.

"But now, Huo Yuhao knows about that place too. He will certainly go there as well. We must get there before him and take possession of it first." Tang San finally revealed his purpose. He would absolutely not yield the Icefire Yin Yang Well to Huo Yuhao!

Tang Hao naturally began considering the feasibility of it. No one who could cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo was simple.

"But Little San, if this Huo Yuhao could snatch Xiao Wu away from the Titan Giant Ape, he must possess some strength and methods. Perhaps we need more power," Tang Hao said, thinking of his elder brother and the old friends and relatives of the Clear Sky Sect. Though the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion, its foundation remained.

"No. If he had the strength, the first thing he would do would definitely not be to abduct Xiao Wu, but to come and kill me. Since he did not come to kill me, it can only mean that his strength is still inferior to mine, or inferior to yours at my side. This is our opportunity." Tang San immediately laid out his earlier analysis. Before he had fully grown, he would never let those people from the Clear Sky Sect lay their hands on the Icefire Yin Yang Well unless absolutely necessary.

With his current cultivation, even if his future was promising, how many resources would be left for him if there were too many people?

"Besides, refining pills consumes an enormous number of immortal herbs. If there are too many people, there will not be enough to go around." Seeing that Tang Hao was still hesitant, Tang San immediately added more weight to his argument.

Hearing this, Tang Hao finally made up his mind. "Fine. In that case, let's go now." Tang Hao was about to fly away with Tang San when Tang San stopped him.

"Father, wait. I need to go back and tell my classmates first. They are the comrades I chose, and they will be of tremendous use when we face Huo Yuhao in the future."

Thinking of the Shrek Academy students, Tang Hao immediately thought of Ning Rongrong, who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her support would certainly greatly increase their combat power.

"Fine." With that, Tang Hao took Tang San and flew toward where the Shrek group was staying.

Although Zhao Wuji had been humiliated by Tang San, he still upheld his duty as a teacher. He continued several more miles deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, but the strength of the students he had brought was truly limited, and he did not dare proceed any farther. He could only stop.

"We'll wait one more day. If Tang San doesn't return, we'll head back," Zhao Wuji ordered.

Seeing that the students were all clearly distracted, Zhao Wuji was helpless as well.

On this trip, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared first, followed by Tang San. Dai Mubai also looked as if he had lost his soul.

When they returned this time, Zhao Wuji truly had no idea how he was supposed to explain things to Flander.

Just as everyone stood around in a daze, a powerful aura descended from the sky. Its imposing force was far greater than that of the Titan Giant Ape from before.

Everyone looked toward the source of the aura in terror, believing that another disaster had befallen them. One after another, they summoned their martial souls.

Only Zhao Wuji relaxed after sensing that aura. Looking up, he saw Tang San being carried by a hooded figure as they slowly descended to the ground.
