Just as Tang San was sneaking into the Heavenly Pursuit Academy at night, Yu Xiaogang also discovered that Tang San was missing.
Yu Xiaogang had thought of some things to be aware of regarding Sea God Island and wanted to discuss them with Tang San again, but when he arrived at Tang San's room, he found that Tang San had disappeared.
So Yu Xiaogang quickly informed Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, but Tang Xiao and Tang Hao were also confused. They just thought that Tang San had gone out to cultivate, since Tang San had always liked to cultivate alone in secret since he was a child.
At the summit of Mount Aermo, Tang San had just ventured in for a while when he noticed that the spiritual energy on the summit seemed much denser than in other places. It didn't resemble a snow-capped mountain that was covered in snow all year round; instead, it looked like a treasure trove for cultivation.
Especially near the inhabited core area, the life force was exceptionally strong, with various plants and even Tang San's Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, seemed to be stirring, as if sensing the extreme life force.
This is the function of the Gold of Life. After Yang Podi obtained the Gold of Life from the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor, he didn't know what to do with it. Keeping it on his person didn't seem to make any use of it.
So Yang Podi simply placed this piece of Gold of Life in the academy, burying it directly under his father Yang Zhentian's cultivation room. This way, it would not only promote his father's cultivation but also have an effect on the entire mountaintop, helping the core members of the academy to accelerate their cultivation. Of course, Yang Podi also communicated with his father, telling him that if his father needed to go out, this piece of Gold of Life should be properly kept.
Only a few Titled Douluo in the entire family knew about this piece of Gold of Life, and importantly, it was guarded by my father and mother, since they lived together and their cultivation rooms were also together.
I hope that my parents can break through their limits with the help of this Gold of Life and eventually reach Level 98.
You must know that the Gold of Life is priceless. A large piece of the Gold of Life can create the Star Dou Great Forest. Although his piece of the Gold of Life is relatively small, it should be enough to create a sect.
Tang San seemed very satisfied with the aura at the mountaintop, especially since the Blue Silver Grass was extremely sensitive to the aura of life, resulting in a significant increase in both cultivation and growth speed. He even felt that if he cultivated here for a long time, his cultivation speed would be twice as effective.
However, Tang San underestimated the ability of Titled Douluo to sense auras, especially since Yang Zhentian had already reached Level 97 Titled Douluo, making him a top expert. Moreover, this was not the Star Dou Great Forest, where there wasn't a strong enough life force to mask the aura of the Blue Silver Grass.
Suddenly, a voice came from Yang Zhentian's room. "Who dares to come to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy? They've got some nerve."
As soon as Yang Zhentian uttered these words, the entire mountaintop stirred up. Apart from a few children, all the other Titled Douluo flew out, while his mother, Niu Jinfeng, remained in the cultivation room to oversee the situation. If they encountered a powerful enemy and needed her to take action, she would simply take the Gold of Life with her.
Tang San was shocked to hear this, not expecting to be discovered so soon after arriving at the mountaintop.
However, Tang San regained his composure in an instant. As a master who had been hiding for a long time, he naturally knew how to deal with sudden situations. Tang San quickly hid his body in a patch of ice and snow nearby, using all his strength to conceal his Soul Power and aura, just like a Blue Silver Grass.
In just a moment, Yang Zhentian, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Dugu Bo had already gathered together.
Yang Wudi asked, somewhat puzzled, " Zhentian, what happened? Why would you suddenly say something like that?"
Yang Zhentian's expression turned somewhat grave. "I noticed something unusual while I was cultivating just now. It seems someone has infiltrated my Heavenly Pursuit Academy. This person's actions are extremely secretive; even I could only detect a faint, unusual aura."
Yang Wudi simply nodded, and then joined the others in searching around, trying to find the person who had infiltrated the academy.
It must be said that Tang San is indeed a hidden master. Whether it was his career as an assassin in his previous life or his various arduous training in this life, he has always chosen the best way to handle things.
Given Tang San's current situation, as a mere Soul Emperor, running away is practically impossible. He might as well hide in the nearby snow and ice, transforming into a Blue Silver Grass. This way, he can hide in the dark and at least not be noticed for a short period of time.
Yang Zhentian and his group searched the core area of the Heavenly Pursuit Academy for a long time, but seemed to find nothing. In the end, they gathered together again.
Grandpa Niu Gao seemed a little puzzled. " Zhentian, are you sure you're not mistaken? We haven't detected anything unusual around here."
Yang Zhentian shook his head. "My intuition is probably correct; a very strange Soul Power has entered our Heavenly Pursuit Academy."
"Strange Soul Power? What's so strange about it?"
Yang Zhentian's expression turned serious. "It's like a plant-based Soul Power, but it also resembles poisonous energy."
The group racked their brains for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly spoke up, "Why didn't that Little Monster come out? Logically speaking, with his Soul Power, he should have been able to sense it."
At this moment, Yang Wudi's face darkened considerably. He addressed the students inside the academy, "You little brat, why haven't you come out yet? What are you waiting for?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi slowly walked out, seemingly looking on with amusement.
Yang Wudi seemed a little angry. " Podi, did you already discover that someone had infiltrated our Heavenly Pursuit Academy?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh, even shaking his head. "A mere Soul Emperor was able to infiltrate our Heavenly Pursuit Academy. It seems our Heavenly Pursuit Academy's defenses are far too weak."
Yang Zhentian seemed a little surprised. " Soul Emperor? Podi, when did you find out?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking Youyou, "About two hours ago, this person initially spent nearly two hours exploring the mountainside of our Heavenly Pursuit Academy before infiltrating the core area at the summit."
Father Yang Zhentian was speechless. "Since you discovered it so early, why didn't you give us a warning? Did you want to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. "Although this person is Soul Emperor, he is extremely good at hiding, and he is very meticulous. He is hiding in a place you would never expect. I can't believe you have been searching for so long and still haven't found him."
"An unexpected place? We've searched the entire core area of the academy, but found absolutely nothing."
"Dad, the place where you first sensed that presence is where this person is hiding nearby."
Yang Zhentian thought carefully, then directly attacked a spot. "How dare you hide here! You're courting death!"
Yang Zhentian's Soul Power flickered, and an extremely powerful force rushed directly towards a place piled with ice and snow, as if it would shatter the surrounding area.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the snow and ice. Facing Yang Zhentian's overwhelming pressure, it did not resist but instead retreated with the pressure to reduce the damage to itself. At the same time, it raised its right hand and shot an arrow from it.
This was a whistling arrow. As it flew into the sky, accompanied by a sharp, unusual sound, the arrow eventually exploded in the air, forming a huge firework that could be seen for miles around.
The whistle arrow caught everyone completely off guard, so much so that no one had time to stop it, and Yang Podi simply didn't want to.
Yang Zhentian was furious. He couldn't believe that even after he had taken action, the other party still dared to make a move, and it seemed that he wanted to notify his companions.
With a flash of Soul Power, Yang Zhentian suppressed Tang San Tang San, and simultaneously moved swiftly, subduing him completely.
Tang San was only a Soul Emperor at the moment, and he was no match for the pressure of Titled Douluo. Before he could take any other measures, his Soul Power was sealed by Yang Zhentian, and he didn't seem to want to resist.
Yang Zhentian sealed Tang San's Soul Power, then ripped off his veil. Upon seeing Tang San's face, he was immediately filled with surprise. "I didn't expect it to be you, kid. A mere Soul Emperor dares to infiltrate my Heavenly Pursuit Academy."
Tang San seemed completely unafraid, simply saying, "So what if it's Heavenly Pursuit Academy? I am a disciple of the prestigious Clear Sky Sect. Your Breaking Clan and Defense Clan were merely former affiliated families of my Clear Sky Sect. What can you do to me?"
Yang Wudi and Niu Gao exchanged a glance upon hearing this, unsure of what to do next, especially given the signal arrow from earlier, which would likely have alerted Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
Yang Podi simply watched coldly from the sidelines, wanting to see how his grandfather and maternal grandfather would handle the situation. If things didn't work out, he would push them a little harder later.
In Monai City, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao discovered a signal arrow. Tang Hao's expression changed slightly. "Brother, this looks like Xiao San's signal arrow. Xiao San has been missing all night. Could she have been captured by the people from the Heavenly Pursuit Academy?"
Tang Xiao nodded. " Brother Hao, let's go check on her quickly, Xiao San might be in danger."
After saying that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao quickly flew towards the Heavenly Pursuit Academy.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe also noticed the signal arrow appearing in the sky above Heavenly Pursuit Academy, but he just smiled faintly, "This is getting interesting."
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo also noticed the signal arrow in the distance, but Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment before speaking, " Uncle Jian, who do you think is attacking Heavenly Pursuit Academy?"
Sword Douluo shook his head. "Logically speaking, no other force besides the Spirit Hall could attack Heavenly Pursuit Academy, but the Spirit Hall wouldn't be that stupid, especially when we and the Clear Sky Sect are still nearby."
Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a while before speaking, "These signal arrows should have been sold to us by Tang San. I heard that Tang San went missing tonight, which is probably due to a conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the Heavenly Pursuit Academy."
"Should we go take a look? After all, we're now practically allies with the Clear Sky Sect."
Ning Fengzhi seemed to think of Yang Podi before finally speaking, "Forget it, let's just pretend we don't know anything about this. Both of them are stronger than us, and going there would probably only bring us trouble."
"Especially since I can't see through Yang Podi's strength at all now. Four years ago, Yang Podi's strength was already close to yours, Uncle Jian. This matter is probably not going to end well."
"Furthermore, the Clear Sky Sect has always been domineering due to its strength, and it's always thinking about taking back the Breaking Clan and Defense Clan. It's time for them to wake up from this pipe dream."
Sword Douluo couldn't help but nod in agreement upon hearing this.
In just a few minutes, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao arrived at the top of Mount Aermo. The scene there was beyond their expectations. Tang San was dressed in black from head to toe, standing there quietly with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly an injury he had sustained from Yang Zhentian's sudden attack.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao quickly arrived at Tang San's side. Tang Xiao immediately released Tang San's sealed Soul Power: " Xiao San, how are you now? Are you injured?"
Tang San simply shook his head and said nothing.
Tang Hao turned to Yang Wudi and asked, " Yang Wudi, what exactly do you want? Why are you hurting the Xiao San?"
Yang Wudi's face turned extremely ugly, but he still snorted coldly in the end, " Tang Hao, are you blind? Your son Tang San sneaked into my Heavenly Pursuit Academy in this disguise, and I want to ask you what you're up to?"
Tang Hao's expression turned somewhat ferocious. "So what if Xiao San infiltrated your Heavenly Pursuit Academy? You Titled Douluo are bullying a child like this."
Before Yang Wudi could continue speaking, Niu Gao chimed in, " Old Goat, why are you wasting your breath on this kind of person? The entire Clear Sky Sect is just a bunch of rats. Otherwise, why would they do something like infiltrating another sect? And after being discovered, they even turned around and accused the other side. Where is the image of the number one sect in the world?"
Tomorrow will see a major battle, a showcase of most of our strengths, and a small conclusion to this period of time.
These chapters will focus on Tang San, which can be seen as a transition to the later plot.
This doesn't exaggerate Tang San 'Tang San strength too much; it's more of an alternative introduction to him.
While Tang San in the original Douluo I may have made mistakes, he wasn't too outrageous overall. Perhaps the only thing that had a significant impact on later generations was the destruction of the Tang San Slaughter City. If we were in his shoes, we would probably do the same thing. After all, this was an imperial society, essentially an ancient feudal dynasty.
