After spending another day, Huo Yuhao finally finished adding all his Soul Rings. The two beast kings had certainly been difficult to deal with, worthy of being Soul Beasts with the finest bloodlines, but Huo Yuhao had taken them down one at a time.
He had gone after the Titan Giant Ape first. Since he was a Soul Douluo, the Titan Giant Ape had not taken him seriously, and neither had the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Only when Huo Yuhao was about to kill the Titan Giant Ape did the Sky Azure Bull Python react and rush over to help. Unfortunately, he was already too late.
Huo Yuhao killed the Titan Giant Ape first, then killed the Sky Azure Bull Python when he arrived. The two brothers ended up together, the whole family neatly reunited.
The Titan Giant Ape dropped a hundred-thousand-year Torso Soul Bone for Huo Yuhao, while the Sky Azure Bull Python dropped a Left Arm Soul Bone.
After absorbing all the Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Huo Yuhao's cultivation had broken through to rank ninety-five. Further advancement required deeper insight, so he could not continue leveling up, but he was already very satisfied.
Now, he could easily handle Tang Hao and his son. Tang Hao had only one Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, while he had two. Tang Hao did not have a single hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, while he had three. Tang Hao had only one top-tier martial soul, while he had two divine martial souls.
As for domains, Tang Hao had Divine Slaughter's Domain, while he had Angel Domain.
There was nothing left to hesitate over. He had already lost ten years, and now even wasting another second felt unbearable.
And so, despite having only recently arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao unfurled his Angel Wings and flew toward Suotuo City at full speed.
He was twenty-two this year, and Tang San was nine years younger than him. In other words, Tang San was already thirteen.
That meant Tang San would be heading to an advanced Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire this year. If nothing unexpected had happened, it should be the Suotuo Advanced Soul Master Academy.
Because of Xiao Wu, Tang Hao had remained by Tang San's side. As long as he found Tang San, Tang Hao would naturally show himself.
All he needed to do now was find Tang San. Once he found him, his mission would be over.
The Suotuo Advanced Soul Master Academy was an officially registered advanced Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. It boasted a strong faculty, with almost all its instructors at the Soul Ancestor level or above. Its dean was an even more powerful Soul Emperor.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had already been enrolled for two months!
Xiao Wu's reason for choosing this academy was simple: there were no powerhouses beyond the Titled Douluo level here, so she felt at ease.
As for Tang San, he did not care where he studied. The core of his cultivation was the Mysterious Heaven Skill and crafting his Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. As long as those two needs were met, any school would do.
His only purpose in joining the academy was to have high-ranking Soul Masters help him hunt for Soul Rings. While at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, he had already reached rank thirty. With the dean's help, he had successfully obtained a very suitable Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
A thousand-year-old stalk of blue silver grass!
When they found that stalk of blue silver grass in the Soul Hunting Forest, it had already been on its last breath. Tang San obtained his third Soul Ring just as he had wished, and his cultivation soared.
At only thirteen years old, his soul power had already reached rank thirty-five. Perhaps in another year or two, Tang San would become the genius who reached Soul Ancestor faster than anyone else on the continent.
"Little San, don't you get bored training like this every day? Why don't we go shopping?"
Xiao Wu kept playfully pestering Tang San at his side, trying to catch his attention. Tang San ignored her, however, and continued cultivating on his own.
"Xiao Wu, do you have any money to spare?"
At his words, Xiao Wu immediately blushed. "I don't, but don't you still have some? Lend me some first, and I'll pay you back when I get my stipend!"
"Oh?" Tang San smiled slightly, then continued, "Why do I remember someone still owing me ten Gold Soul Coins?"
"Little San, you get a hundred Gold Soul Coins a month now, and you're still so stingy with me. You're going too far..."
Xiao Wu was just about to flare up when her expression suddenly changed. In an instant, her face turned deathly pale, drained of all color.
She had sensed a powerful presence probing her body, and whoever was emitting it was already very close.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
Tang San also felt an overwhelming pressure descending upon them. It was probably some powerful Soul Master visiting the academy, but why had Xiao Wu suddenly become so terrified?
"Brother San, you'll protect me, won't you?"
Xiao Wu's face was bloodless. Her hands clutched Tang San's arm tightly, as though she were grasping at a lifesaving straw.
Tang San nodded firmly. Looking at her, he gently placed his hand over hers and said with unwavering resolve, "I told you, you're my little sister. If anyone wants to hurt you, they'll have to step over my corpse."
But the moment Tang San finished speaking, a blood-red cloud appeared in the sky, shrouding the entire academy in crimson.
All the powerful figures of the Suotuo Advanced Soul Master Academy rushed outside, staring in terror at the mighty blood-red figure in the sky.
Upon realizing that the newcomer was a Titled Douluo, everyone assumed a respectful expression. "Greetings, Your Eminence. May we ask what brings Your Eminence to our academy?"
Yet after Huo Yuhao descended, he ignored them. Instead, he walked up to the two students and said with a cold smile,
"Ha ha ha! How deeply touching! Do you even know what she is?"
With a thought, Huo Yuhao pinned Tang San to the ground, then pulled Xiao Wu toward him and restrained her before him.
"I don't know! All I know is that she's my little sister!" Tang San roared. Forcing himself to withstand Huo Yuhao's overwhelming pressure, he unleashed countless cold glints from his body, sending them shooting toward Huo Yuhao.
"Tang Sect Hidden Weapons? Mere toys!"
Huo Yuhao smiled in disdain. With a slight flutter of his wings, all those hidden weapons were instantly blown away!
With nothing more than Soul Elder strength, Tang San actually had the ability to attack him. He truly was no ordinary person.
"I'm taking her with me. Goodbye!"
Holding the despairing Xiao Wu, Huo Yuhao was about to fly away. But the instant he turned, several metallic clangs suddenly rang out behind him again.
Tang San fired another barrage of hidden weapons and crossbow bolts at him. Huo Yuhao was overjoyed. He had known that, because of Xiao Wu in his grasp, Tang San would recklessly attack him without any regard for his own life.
Huo Yuhao immediately turned around, tossed Xiao Wu aside, and walked straight up to Tang San. "I only intended to capture this hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. But since you insist on courting death and offending me repeatedly, you leave me no choice."
"You have already courted death!"
