Ning Rongrong's schemes, Tang San and Tang Hao return to the Clear Sky Sect, and the Asura God King's soul enters Slaughter City
Ning Rongrong watched Xiao Wu's retreating figure, feeling a mix of emotions.
She and Xiao Wu got along quite well when they were at Shrek, and seeing Xiao Wu like this now, she felt a pang of pity.
However, she quickly put that reluctance aside, as she had more pressing opponents to deal with.
The twin sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, were still eyeing Fang Fan covetously; she couldn't give them any opportunity to take advantage of her.
Unfortunately, in the following days, every time Ning Rongrong tried to spend time alone with Fang Fan, she was interrupted by various things.
The first time she finally waited for Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan to go to cultivate, she had just reached the door of Fang Fan's room when she heard Shui Yue'er's clear laughter coming from inside. She stomped her foot and turned to leave.
The second time, she got up very early, and before dawn, she took the pastries she had made herself to the pavilion, only to find that Shui Bing'er was already sitting opposite Fang Fan, holding a cup of hot tea and talking to him with her head down.
The third time, she simply knocked on Fang Fan's door. The door opened, but it was Dugu Yan who opened it. Her emerald green eyes looked at her with a half-smile and said, "His Your Highness is currently cultivating. Rongrong, please come back later."
Ning Rongrong was so angry that she ran back to her room and threw her pillow several times.
She was the little princess of the prestigious Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, and had always had everything she wanted since childhood. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
But this is Skywater Academy, not her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and there's a Sword Grandpa guarding her. She can't just kick him out; that would be too embarrassing.
Meanwhile, a completely different scene was unfolding at the Clear Sky Sect, a thousand miles away from Skywater City.
Before Tang Hao could even catch his breath after leaving Skywater City with Tang San, news of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan being massacred overnight spread throughout the entire continent.
When Tang Hao heard this news, he fell silent. He sat on a large rock by the roadside for a long time without saying a word, only the veins on his hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer bulged.
No need to investigate, there's no need to investigate. There's only one force in the entire Douluo Continent with such swift and decisive methods, capable of uprooting one of the Top Three Sects overnight— the Spirit Hall.
Damn the Spirit Hall, damn Bibi Dong.
With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wiped out, the answer to who the Spirit Hall will target next is obvious.
Although the Clear Sky Sect has been closed for many years, the blood feud with the Spirit Hall has never been resolved. As long as the Clear Sky Sect still exists, Bibi Dong will never be truly at ease.
Once the Haotian Sect is destroyed, the Tiandou Empire will be in the possession of Wuhun Palace. The Star Luo Empire will be unable to survive alone, and the continent's structure will be completely reshaped.
Without further hesitation, Tang Hao led Tang San directly into the Clear Sky Sect.
On the majestic Clear Sky Peak, Sect Master Tang Xiao had already received the notification.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years. One had white hair and beard but was still as burly as an iron tower, while the other was dressed in tattered clothes and his face was weathered, but he couldn't hide the domineering nature in his bones. Their eyes met, and Tang Xiao's eyes reddened first. He strode forward and hugged Tang Hao tightly. The two brothers embraced in silence, with only the mountain wind whistling in their ears.
Inside the secluded room, the lamplight flickered.
Tang Xiao dismissed all the Elder and disciples, leaving only the two brothers and Tang San to sit facing each other.
Tang Hao recounted the details of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's demise, and Tang Xiao's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened.
After they finished speaking, they both felt a sense of urgency.
If the Clear Sky Sect doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it must become stronger, and it must become stronger as soon as possible.
Tang Xiao immediately ordered all disciples of the Clear Sky Sect to enter a state of full cultivation, opening up all the sect's cultivation resources without reservation or holding back.
Tang Hao then took Tang San to the Trial Cliff behind the Clear Sky Sect and imparted all his knowledge to him.
The Clear Sky Nine Absolutes – Tremor, Collapse, Crack, Shatter, Break, Annihilate, Kill, Slaughter, Calamity – each move represents the ultimate application of the Clear Sky Hammer;
The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer – using the waist as the axis and the body as the hammer, the power of each strike is superimposed with the residual force of the previous strike; after eighty-one strikes, its power can shake mountains.
The Great Sumeru Hammer – This hammer strike concentrates all of the body's Soul Power, essence, and spirit into a single blow, determining life or death with a single strike.
Tang San studied extremely hard, practicing from before dawn until late at night every day. His hands were blistered and scabbed over, and the handle of the Clear Sky Hammer was covered with his blood and sweat.
His comprehension was so impressive that even his father, Tang Hao, was secretly astonished— Tang San was able to imitate the Haotian Clear Sky Nine Absolutes Tang Hao had only demonstrated it twice;
He mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer in three days and was able to unleash thirty-two consecutive hammer blows in seven days.
Although he had not yet truly mastered the essence of the Great Sumeru Hammer, he had already thoroughly memorized the theory.
Unbeknownst to Tang Hao, an entity he could not perceive was quietly awakening within Tang San's body.
That was a fragment of Divine Soul, from one of the supreme beings in the Divine Realm — the Asura God King.
When the Asura God King brought Tang San from the Bashu World to the Douluo Continent, he had paved a broad road for him to attain Dual Godhood.
He inherited both the Sea God Divine Seat and the Asura Divine Seat, becoming an unprecedented dual successor of both the Asura God and the Sea God.
But now Tang San has suffered repeated setbacks, and there is even a risk of his premature death. The scheme he has laid out may collapse at any time.
The wisp of the Asura God King Divine Soul deep within Tang San's soul had to awaken prematurely and intervene in the most direct way.
"Kid, cultivating step by step is too slow."
What your father taught you was indeed good, but by the time you mastered it, it will be too late. I will teach you the Asura Method—to increase your strength by devouring the malice of all things.
Malice is everywhere in this world: fear is malice, jealousy is malice, hatred is malice, even the contemptuous look in your opponent's eyes is malice.
"Swallow this malice and transform it into your own power."
The Asura God's Soul's voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
After calming down from his initial shock, Tang San accepted the offer almost without hesitation.
He craved power too much.
The humiliation of being trampled underfoot by Fang Fan, the helplessness of watching Xiao Wu being taken away, the despair when the Dragon's Beard Needle was sent flying by a single sword strike—
These memories recurred in his dreams every night, waking him up in a cold sweat each time.
He's willing to do anything to become stronger.
Half a month later, Tang San's Soul Power broke through two levels from level 33 to level 35, a speed that even Tang Hao found incredible.
He can now unleash sixty-four blows in one go with the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, and he has also begun to grasp the basics of the Great Sumeru Hammer.
Seeing that the time was right, Tang Hao took him away from the Clear Sky Sect and headed to the Slaughter City.
That was the most brutal Asura Arena on the continent, and also the trial ground that all successive generations of the Clear Sky Sect disciples had to undergo.
With the secret assistance of the Asura God's Soul, Tang San thrived in the City of Slaughter City. On the Asura Arena, he was ruthless and decisive in his attacks. Every time he killed an opponent, a wisp of invisible malice would be transformed into the purest power by the Asura God's Soul and injected into his body, causing his Soul Power and killing intent to rise in tandem.
It even alerted a being that had slumbered for many years deep within the Slaughter City.
Tang Chen.
Tang Chen opened his eyes from the depths of the Blood Pool, a glimmer of clarity flashing in his turbid pupils.
