Tang San: I Could Have Soared to the Heavens! O Vast Heavens, Why Are You So Unfair to Me!

[Friends, today there are three chapters in a row as well. Thanks for your 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 pale as paper, his mouth full of blood. His eyes were shut tight, 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 sigh of relief.

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

Then he pressed both palms against his father's back and used Soul Power to dissolve the medicine's effects.

Xiao Wu stood to the side, at a loss.

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

"Mm."

Tang San nodded without saying much.

His mind was in utter chaos.

Just now, his father had said that his mother was buried here.

Yet there was only a small mound of earth here, clearly not enough to bury an entire person.

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

Was Ah Yin his mother's name?

Could it be that his mother's ashes had once been buried beneath this small mound?

His father had also mentioned a Spirit Bone.

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

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 and stared blankly at the mound in the center of the stone chamber.

"Dad, you're awake."

Tang Hao pointed at the small mound and muttered, "Little San, that is your mother's grave. There... there used to be a Blue Silver Grass growing there. It was very special, with golden patterns on its leaves... That was the Blue Silver Grass grown from the seed your mother became after she died..."

Tang Hao turned to look at the 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 Soul Bone?"

Tang San's heart sank sharply, and he found it hard to believe.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone!

That was his mother's relic?

How could his mother possess such a treasure?

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

After that, 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 all.

Tang San was utterly shocked.

He had never expected his mother to be a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor who had undergone Soul Beast Transformation to become human. She had gone through so much—no wonder his father had never been willing to speak of her.

Xiao Wu was stunned as well.

She had originally thought that because she had undergone Soul Beast Transformation, Tang San learning the truth would affect their relationship.

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

Tang San looked at the small mound, then at the hollow in the stone wall and the pile of shattered rocks scattered across the ground. It felt as though a sharp blade had pierced his heart, filling him with unbearable pain.

Only then did he understand why his father had reacted so crazily.

Even after his mother's death, she had not been allowed peace. The Blue Silver Grass she had become was gone.

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

That was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone from the same source as his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul!

After fusing with it, wouldn't he have soared on the spot?!

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

Why had this happened?

O vast heavens, why are you so unfair to me!

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

Tang San gritted his teeth until they creaked, his fists clenched so tightly that they cracked. His heart was filled with hatred!

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger and grief in his heart as he tried 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. Aside from you, who else knows about it?"

"Only I knew. Not even your uncle knows 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 had 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 in the mountains, far from human habitation.

The stone chamber lay behind a waterfall, in an extremely secluded location. Ordinary people could never have found it.

Yet not only had that thief found this place, they had also discovered the Spirit Bone embedded inside the stone wall. It was truly inconceivable.

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

This was far too strange!

Tang San understood that now was not the time for grief.

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

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

"Dad, you must pull yourself together! We have to find the Blue Silver Grass Mom became, as well as the Spirit Bone she left me! But the prerequisite is that we stay healthy and possess enough strength."

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

Though Tang San was also heartbroken and furious,

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

That was the mentality a strong person needed, and Tang San possessed it at such a young age.

A Tang San like this would surely become a man who stood tall between Heaven and Earth in the future.

"Little San, you're right. We can't be crushed by this."

Tang Hao gritted his teeth, his gaze turning resolute.

"You have an External Soul Bone, so your body is far stronger than that of ordinary Soul Masters. Originally, the right leg bone Ah Yin left you could have helped you recover from your injuries more quickly and greatly increased your strength, directly helping you break through to level forty.

If you further refined the Clear Sky Hammer Technique, you would have had a better chance of obtaining the three Spirit Bones awarded to the champions of the Soul Master Tournament.

Then I could have given you two more Spirit Bones, and you would have nearly possessed a full set of Spirit Bones.

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

If you can't win the champion's reward, then you can only obtain Spirit Bones by hunting Soul Beasts."

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

He knew that Xiao Wu must be hurting deeply after hearing that.

"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 would 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 will work hard to increase my strength and strive to win the three Spirit Bones awarded to the champions of the Soul Master Tournament."

"Good! That's the spirit! I believe you can do it!"

Tang Hao patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"Little San, you and Xiao Wu should head out first. I want to be alone for a while."

"Dad..."

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

Tang San said no 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 that Tang San was hurting inside.

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

"Brother, I never imagined your mother was a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor who underwent Soul Beast Transformation. Actually, I..."

Xiao Wu hesitated, stopping herself mid-sentence.

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

"Xiao Wu, I know what you want to say. At this point, there's no need for you to hide it anymore. I've actually known for a long time that you underwent Soul Beast Transformation too."
