[Friends, I'm releasing three chapters again today. Thanks for the support!]

Seeing Tang Hao react so violently, Tang San and Xiao Wu were both badly frightened.

"Dad!"

Tang San hurriedly helped Tang Hao up.

Tang Hao's face was as pale as paper, his mouth full of blood. His eyes were shut, and he had already passed out.

Tang San grew even more anxious.

He extended two fingers and checked his father's breathing.

Only after sensing that his father was still breathing did he finally let out a breath of relief.

Without time to think further, he hurriedly took out a medicinal herb for restoring blood and vitality from Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist and stuffed it into his father's mouth.

Then he pressed both palms against Tang Hao's back and used his soul power to help dissolve the medicine's effects.

Xiao Wu stood nearby, at a complete loss.

"Brother, don't worry too much. Uncle was overwhelmed by anger. He'll wake up soon."

"Mm."

Tang San nodded without saying anything more.

His mind was in complete chaos.

His father had just said that his mother was buried here.

But there was only this small mound of earth, clearly far too small to bury an entire person.

And his father had kept shouting that Ah Yin was gone.

Was Ah Yin his mother's name?

Could it be that this little mound had once contained his mother's ashes?

His father had also mentioned a Spirit Bone.

Could it be that a Spirit Bone had been buried here along with his mother's ashes?

Tang San's mind was filled with too many questions. He could only wait for his father to wake up.

An hour later.

Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the mound in the center of the stone chamber.

"Dad, you're awake."

Tang Hao pointed at the little mound and muttered:

"Little San, that's your mother's grave. There... there used to be a stalk of Blue Silver Grass growing there. It was special, with golden veins on its leaves... It was the Blue Silver Grass that grew from the seed your mother turned into after she died..."

Tang Hao turned to look at the empty hollow in the stone wall and continued:

"There used to be a lead box hidden in there... Inside was a gift your mother left for you: a Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone..."

"A... a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone?"

Tang San's heart sank sharply. He found it hard to believe.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone!

That was his mother's keepsake?

How could his mother have possessed such a treasure?

"Little San, haven't you always wanted to know about your mother? It's time I told you..."

Afterward, Tang Hao told Tang San everything: how he had met, come to know, and fallen in love with the Blue Silver Emperor; how they later had Tang San; how Spirit Hall had hunted them down; and how he had become enemies with Spirit Hall because of it.

Tang San was utterly stunned.

He had never imagined that his mother had been a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who had undergone Soul Beast Transformation into a human. She had gone through so much—no wonder his father had never been willing to speak of her.

Xiao Wu was also deeply shaken.

She had originally thought that, if Tang San learned she had undergone Soul Beast Transformation, it would affect their relationship.

She had never expected Tang San's mother to have undergone Soul Beast Transformation as well.

Tang San looked at the little mound, then at the hollow in the stone wall and the pile of scattered rubble on the ground. It felt as though a sharp blade had stabbed into his heart, leaving him in unbearable pain.

Only then did he understand why his father had reacted so frantically just now.

Even after death, his mother had not been left in peace. The Blue Silver Grass she had turned into was gone.

Even the Spirit Bone she had left for him had been stolen.

That was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone that shared the same origin as his Blue Silver Grass martial soul!

Once fused with it, wouldn't he have taken off on the spot?!

Yet such a supreme treasure had fallen into someone else's hands.

Why did it have to be this way?

Vast Heavens, why are you so unfair to me!

The immense fortune that should have belonged to me, Tang San, was stolen by someone else!

Tang San ground his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that they crackled. His heart was filled with hatred!

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger and grief in his heart, doing his best to remain rational.

He wanted to find the thief who had stolen his mother's Spirit Bone and take it back!

"Dad, this place is so well-hidden. Other than you, who else knew about it?"

"Only I knew. Not even your uncle knew about this place."

Tang Hao was confused as well.

Why had someone found this place?

He had originally embedded Ah Yin's Spirit Bone, along with the lead box, inside the stone wall.

Even if someone entered this stone chamber, there was no way they could have known that a Spirit Bone was hidden in the wall.

Tang San fell silent.

This was deep within the mountains and forests, rarely visited by anyone.

The stone chamber was behind a waterfall, in an extremely concealed location. An ordinary person could never have found it.

Yet the thief had not only found this place, but had also located the Spirit Bone embedded in the stone wall. It was truly inconceivable.

What Tang San found even more unbelievable was that while that stalk of Blue Silver Grass was somewhat different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass, it was still only a stalk of Blue Silver Grass. Why had the thief taken it too?

This was far too strange!

Tang San understood that now was not the time to grieve.

His father's old injuries had yet to heal, and now he had suffered new ones. He had just been overwhelmed by anger as well.

If they kept dwelling on this matter, his internal injuries would become even harder to heal, and his life might even be in danger.

"Dad, you must pull yourself together! We have to find the Blue Silver Grass Mom turned into, as well as the Spirit Bone she left me! But first, we need to stay healthy and gain enough strength."

Tang Hao looked at Tang San and sensed his son's determination and confidence.

Though Tang San was in pain and furious too,

he had not broken down, much less fallen into despair.

This was the mindset a true powerhouse needed, and Tang San possessed it at such a young age.

A Tang San like this would surely grow into a man who stood tall between Heaven and Earth.

"Little San, you're right. We can't let this defeat us."

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, and his gaze became resolute.

"You have an External Spirit Bone, so your physical strength far surpasses that of ordinary soul masters. Originally, the right leg bone Ah Yin left you could have helped you recover from your injuries faster and greatly increased your strength, directly helping you break through level forty.

If you refined the Clear Sky Hammer Technique a little further, you'd have a better chance of obtaining the three Spirit Bones awarded to the champion of the Soul Master Tournament.

By then, if I gave you another two Spirit Bones, you'd practically have a full set of Spirit Bones.

But now, obtaining those three Spirit Bones has become much more difficult, and the hope is even slimmer.

If you can't win the championship rewards, you'll have to obtain Spirit Bones by hunting soul beasts."

After hearing his father's words, Tang San subconsciously glanced at Xiao Wu.

He knew that hearing this would certainly hurt Xiao Wu.

"Dad, the chance of a soul beast dropping a Spirit Bone after death is less than one in a thousand. To obtain Spirit Bones that way, we'd have to slaughter large numbers of soul beasts. Mom underwent Soul Beast Transformation, so she definitely wouldn't want me to obtain Spirit Bones in that manner. Therefore, I'll work hard to improve my strength and strive to win the three Spirit Bones awarded to the champion of the Soul Master Tournament."

"Very good! You've got ambition! I believe you can do it!"

Tang Hao patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"Little San, you and Xiao Wu go outside first. I want some time alone."

"Dad..."

"Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Tang San said nothing more and left the stone chamber with Xiao Wu.

After passing through the waterfall, the two arrived beside the pool.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone that had originally belonged to Tang San had been stolen.

Xiao Wu knew Tang San was hurting inside.

She wanted to comfort him, but she did not know what to say.

"Brother, I never expected your mother to be a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor who underwent Soul Beast Transformation. Actually, I..."

Xiao Wu hesitated, unable to continue.

Tang San turned his head and stared into Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Xiao Wu, I know what you want to say. At this point, you don't need to hide it anymore. I actually knew long ago that you underwent Soul Beast Transformation too."
