Meanwhile.

After Xu Nuo left, Tang Hao waited for a long time in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

But the hidden injuries inside his body still showed no improvement. Forget being healed, there was not even the slightest sign of recovery.

Tang Hao's frown grew deeper and deeper.

Was that kid lying to me?

But then he remembered that after his son Tang San wished to break through to become a Soul Master, his wish had not come true immediately either.

Instead, that night, a strange combination of circumstances had led him to the back mountain, where he had stepped on a ten-year Stink Bug and killed it. He had absorbed its Soul Ring and broken through as a result.

Looking at it that way, perhaps he could not simply sit around in one place waiting for his wish to come true. He might have to go out and try his luck at finding an "opportunity."

At that thought, Tang Hao made up his mind. He rose to his feet, ready to leave.

"I'm leaving."

After getting up, Tang Hao tossed those words at Yu Xiaogang. Without waiting for a response, he pushed open the window, and his figure flashed and vanished.

Tang San had already enrolled at Nuoding Academy and taken Yu Xiaogang as his master.

On top of that, he had successfully absorbed his First Soul Ring and broken through to become a Soul Master.

He certainly would not be leaving Nuoding Academy anytime soon, and he probably would not encounter any danger either.

In truth, Tang Hao had long wanted to leave this place and go to the valley where his wife, Ah Yin, was hidden.

He had only waited until now because he still wanted to make a wish to Xu Nuo to heal his hidden injuries.

And now that he had made his wish,

Tang Hao was ready to leave for the valley.

After concealing his figure and presence all the way out of Nuoding City, Tang Hao headed straight toward the valley.

This time, as he traveled along the road,

for some reason, memories of the past suddenly surfaced in Tang Hao's mind.

They played out like a revolving lantern.

Tang Hao remembered his youth, when he had been full of high spirits and possessed extraordinary talent. He had been hailed as the unparalleled genius with the best hope in a hundred years of the Clear Sky Sect of surpassing his grandfather, Tang Chen.

To prove himself and restore the Clear Sky Sect's prestige,

he had cultivated like his life depended on it, hoping to break through to Titled Douluo as soon as possible and shatter the record of Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, who had become the youngest Titled Douluo at forty-five.

But by the time he was thirty-five, he had only just broken through to Soul Douluo.

Breaking through to Titled Douluo within ten years was nearly impossible.

During that time, he and his elder brother Tang Xiao met their third sister, Ah Yin, and both fell in love with her.

In the end, he defeated his elder brother Tang Xiao and won Ah Yin's affection. They became a couple, and he learned her secret: their third sister was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

To break through to Titled Douluo as soon as possible, absorb a hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring, shatter Qian Xunji's record, and restore the Clear Sky Sect's prestige,

he failed to overcome the evil thoughts in his heart. He chose to scheme against his wife, Ah Yin, deliberately leading Spirit Hall's experts to discover her true identity.

In the end, while being hunted by Spirit Hall, his wife sacrificed herself to him.

As a result, he had indeed broken through to Titled Douluo at forty-four. He had gained a hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring and become the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent!

But what followed was an endless nightmare.

He had accidentally killed Qian Xunji, bringing Spirit Hall's vengeance down upon the Clear Sky Sect!

He had driven his father to his death with anger!

Under Spirit Hall's retaliation, the Clear Sky Sect suffered heavy casualties and a grievous blow to its strength. It was forced to seal off its mountain and withdraw from the world, taking no further part in worldly affairs.

At that point in his recollections, Tang Hao could not help but be overcome with grief. He clenched his fists, and it felt as though a boulder were pressing on his chest, leaving him scarcely able to breathe.

In the past, when Tang Hao recalled these things,

it had been painful, but he could still bear it. It had been nothing serious.

But this time, perhaps because his emotions had surged too violently, they actually aggravated the injuries inside his body.

Tang Hao felt his hidden injuries erupt in an instant. A vicious, twisting pain shot through his chest, and he abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

His body was almost swaying on the verge of collapse. He could only lean against a large tree by the road to barely steady himself.

"Damn it!"

Tang Hao was shocked and furious. Unable to understand how this had happened, he tried to forcibly suppress his hidden injuries again.

But he found that the hidden injuries he had forcibly suppressed for so many years had seemingly rebounded completely after hitting rock bottom. He could not suppress them at all.

Even when he forced them down, they continued to ravage his body.

At this rate, his body would collapse completely in an hour at most.

Tang Hao's face darkened. Shocked and furious, he gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! How could this happen?!"

"Didn't I wish for the injuries in my body to heal?!"

"Why would they erupt immediately instead?!"

"This damned wish is downright poisonous!"

But furious as he was, Tang Hao could only grit his teeth, forcibly suppress his injuries, and turn around to race straight back to Nuoding Academy.

Realizing that the countdown to his death had already begun,

Tang Hao could only hurry back to Nuoding Academy, take Tang San to his wife Ah Yin, and explain everything in advance.

He had to let his son Tang San know of the blood feud between their family and Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, he and the Clear Sky Sect might never have a chance to take revenge!

Flying through the air with all his strength,

Tang Hao soon returned to Nuoding Academy. He saw Tang San walking with Yu Xiaogang toward the teachers' dormitory building where Yu Xiaogang's room was located.

"Come!"

The moment he spotted Tang San, Tang Hao bore down through the pain, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He swooped straight down, grabbed Tang San, and rose into the air again.

There was no time to explain. He turned and flew straight toward the valley where his wife, Ah Yin, was kept.

"Dad?!"

Tang San could scarcely believe that Tang Hao could fly.

And when he saw blood seeping from the corner of Tang Hao's mouth, he grew even more anxious and worried.

"Dad! Dad, what's wrong with you?!"

"Listen, Xiao San! I'm not going to make it!"

"I can barely suppress the hidden injuries in my body anymore. I don't have much time."

"Next, I'll tell you everything..."

Tang Hao held Tang San as blood continued to seep from the corner of his mouth. Still enduring his injuries, he forced himself to speak in a hoarse voice.

Tang Hao then told Tang San everything about his origins in the Clear Sky Sect and the enmity involving Ah Yin and Spirit Hall.

Of course, Tang Hao's account was certainly not the actual truth.

It was the embellished version from the original work.

In that version, when Tang Hao took Ah Yin back to the Clear Sky Sect, her discovery by Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo

was entirely an accident and had nothing to do with Tang Hao.

As for Qian Xunji bringing people to find Ah Yin just when she was pregnant and about to give birth, that too was a coincidence of coincidences.

Because Tang Hao was the one who said it,

Tang San had no doubts whatsoever. His eyes instantly turned red, and he panted like an ox as he raised his head and roared at the sky.

"Aaaah!!!"

"Damn you, Spirit Hall! You dared harm my mother and injure my father!"

"You forced our family apart, flesh from flesh! You already have a way to die!!!"

Tang Hao went on to say that

he had originally kept his injuries suppressed. Only after finding Xu Nuo and wishing for his hidden injuries to be healed

had those injuries suddenly erupted completely, leaving him utterly unable to suppress them.

Tang San panted even harder like an ox. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his hatred reaching the heavens.

"Damn you, Xu Nuo! You dared harm my father too!"

"You already have a way to die!"

"One day, I'll make sure you die a miserable death, aaah!!!"
