Teacher, You Came Down Here, but What About Xiao Wu?

Xuan Zi was so taken aback that he nearly dropped the chicken leg in his hand. "Holy shit, why did you hit him? He's so badly hurt-were you trying to kill him?"

"..."

Tang Chuan's expression grew a little complicated, and he could not help smiling bitterly.

"If I'm the one to strike, that's still better than letting those who truly want him dead do it. Besides..."

Tang Chuan let out a long breath, murmuring inwardly with somewhat complicated feelings, Huo Yuhao was tortured and killed by Tang San so many times in the original story. Although I'm not Tang San, I do possess his template abilities.

If I'd had any other choice, how could I have borne to hurt him this badly?

Mu En, however, spoke evenly.

"Rest assured. Yuhao's condition only looks frightening. He should be all right, so there's no need to worry."

With Mu En's reassurance, everyone relaxed. Tang Chuan then watched Mu En and the others leave, and the system's voice continued ringing in his mind.

[Disciple Xiao Xiao has consumed two Immortal Herbs. Both martial souls have undergone slight breakthroughs and evolutions in their abilities, and her understanding of the Twin Souls Co-Soul Method has deepened further. Her destiny has been changed further!]

[Host has obtained: Clear Sky Hammer evolution progress 21%, Blue Silver Emperor Evolution Progress 31%. Additional reward: one drop of dragon blood.]

"Dragon blood?"

Tang Chuan froze. Could this dragon blood be for him to absorb? His Clear Sky Hammer was now the Golden Dragon Clear Sky Hammer. If he absorbed another drop of dragon blood, he would surely achieve a tremendous breakthrough.

"But..."

Tang Chuan's thoughtful gaze fell on Xiao Xiao.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me?"

Xiao Xiao could not help asking a little bashfully. As a young girl, she did indeed feel rather shy being stared at by someone with such a handsome face as Tang Chuan's.

"It's nothing."

Tang Chuan shook his head with a soft chuckle.

Yet the look he gave Xiao Xiao grew somewhat meaningful. The Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute...

The Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute presumably uses melodies to imitate a special musical attack resembling a phoenix's cry, containing a mental attribute. Then, what if...

Tang Chuan's eyes shifted slightly.

If Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron also acquired a trace of a dragon's aura, both martial souls would possess dragon-phoenix attributes. Perhaps that would bring about some different changes!

This plan could work!

Tang Chuan was tremendously excited.

But he was in no hurry to give Xiao Xiao the dragon blood to absorb. Whether the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was truly suited to absorbing dragon blood was something that needed to be verified!

Buzzz-!

Just then.

An immensely powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted from within Huo Yuhao. His eyes snapped open, and he was tremendously excited as he felt the blood in his body seemingly boil.

"Teacher, thank you..."

A hundred emotions mingled in Huo Yuhao's heart. Deeply moved, he hurriedly thanked Tang Chuan.

"Don't thank me, Yuhao. I should be apologizing for attacking you earlier. It's just that the sooner the Dragon Core is absorbed, the better. Before, you hadn't obtained your second martial soul yet, and your physique couldn't withstand it."

"That's why I chose this moment."

Then light flashed in Tang Chuan's hand, revealing two extremely unusual Immortal Herbs. One of them was the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which could temper spiritual power!

The other...

Was likewise an Immortal Herb Tang Chuan had chosen for Huo Yuhao as the most suitable for him.

"Teacher, I didn't blame you..."

Huo Yuhao said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just that getting beaten up really doesn't feel good..."

"..."

Tang Chuan could not help laughing.

"All right, Yuhao. Go ahead and absorb these two Immortal Herbs first. In a couple of days, we'll make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Xiao Xiao's and Wang Dong's third soul rings."

Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly. Rather than declining any further, he accepted the Immortal Herbs from Tang Chuan with the utmost care.

"Such pure spiritual power!"

Huo Yuhao looked at the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in astonishment and hurriedly consumed it. Absorbing the Immortal Herbs went extremely smoothly, and by the time Huo Yuhao awoke again, it was already daytime.

"How do you feel?"

Tang Chuan's voice came from beside him.

"Teacher, my soul power has risen to rank twenty-eight, and my physique has improved tremendously. With the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's help, I've also become more proficient in the Purple Demon Eye, and my spiritual power has doubled!"

Tremendously excited, Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong beside him, both watching him.

"Yuhao, you scared me to death."

Wang Dong could not help saying.

"Exactly. Who wouldn't be frightened seeing you covered in blood?"

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Huo Yuhao rose and nodded to the two girls in acknowledgment. Then he walked up to Tang Chuan and bowed deeply. "Teacher, thank you for helping me. I will never forget your kindness in teaching me for as long as I live."

"You brat, this again!"

Tang Chuan patted Huo Yuhao's head, then looked at them. "All right, rest for two days first. In two days, I'll speak to Zhou Yi personally and take you to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Yes, Teacher!"

Huo Yuhao and the two girls left together. As Huo Yuhao's strength had improved tremendously, the system's voice rang out in Tang Chuan's mind once again.

[Disciple Huo Yuhao has successfully absorbed the Dragon Core and two Immortal Herbs. His physique has undergone a complete transformation, and his spiritual power has doubled. His gratitude toward the host has also deepened, and he vaguely feels an urge to acknowledge the host as his adoptive father!]

[Top-tier reward obtained: Great Shift of Space and Time. When Tai Tan and Niu Tian communicate with Tang San, their channel will be intercepted by the host, allowing the host to relay messages in Tang San's place!]

"Holy shit!"

Tang Chuan could not help exclaiming. This was freaking awesome.

He was not worried that his identity would be exposed directly. His only concern was that those two big oafs would secretly contact Tang San and blow everything sky-high. Now, it seemed he no longer needed to worry.

Just as Tang Chuan was rejoicing, Tang Ya emerged from the Tang Sect Residence and waved at him.

"Teacher, I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest too. Why not take me along?"

Tang Ya chuckled, looking rather sly.

"All right, we'll go together, then."

Tang Chuan accepted a cup of tea from Tang Ya. He had only just sat down and taken a couple of sips when he heard her ask mysteriously beside him, "Teacher, since you've come down here, what about Ancestor Xiao Wu?"

"You didn't leave her all alone in the Divine Realm, did you?"

Pfft-!

Tang Chuan spat out a mouthful of tea and nearly choked to death. After several violent coughs, he finally spoke. "Since I've returned to the Douluo Continent, I've already left instructions for everything."

"You little girl, there's no need for you to worry about these things."

Tang Ya chuckled and asked no further questions. He only heard her mutter, "Oh, so that's how it is... I thought you'd sneaked down here to find yourself a second wife, Teacher..."

"???"

The corner of Tang Chuan's mouth twitched, and he treated Tang Ya's fair forehead to a hefty knuckle rap.

Boom-!

Suddenly, two terrifyingly powerful fluctuations of soul power swept toward him. Tang Chuan raised his head thoughtfully, only to see that Wang Dong had returned, with two middle-aged men following behind her.
