The door opened, and a tall figure walked in. He was wearing a simple grey robe, with messy black hair draped over his shoulders. His face was full of vicissitudes, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be in his twilight years, which was totally inconsistent with his appearance.
"Hello, Master." The voice of the person who came in was low and a little hoarse.
For some reason, when this person just walked in, Yu Xiaogang's whole body subconsciously tensed up, and even his soul power unconsciously spread throughout his body.
"Who are you?" Yu Xiaogang stood up slowly, with some doubt and caution in his eyes. He was worried that it was another family member who came to visit him.
The gray-clothed man said calmly, "Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for twenty years. It's no wonder you didn't recognize me in my current state. My name is Tang Hao."
“Tang Hao?” Yu Xiaogang’s usually calm expression suddenly changed. His pupils shrank instantly. He stared at the man in front of him. His hands grasped the table, and his fingers turned bluish-white due to the force. “You, you are Hao…”
Tang Hao waved his hand to stop Yu Xiaogang from speaking any further, and said coldly: "Don't mention the past titles anymore. We did meet a few times back then."
Yu Xiaogang's emotions gradually calmed down, and his stiff face moved slightly, "Why are you here?"
Tang Hao nodded slightly and said calmly: "I'm here to tell you not to bother my son anymore."
"I'm harassing your son?" Yu Xiaogang was confused. He didn't even go to class, let alone harass others.
But seeing that Tang Hao had an expression that showed he didn't want to talk and didn't want strangers to approach him, Yu Xiaogang could only suppress his doubts in his heart and racked his brains to recall how he had offended Tang Hao before.
"Tang Hao's son, I'm harassing him? Tang Hao, Tang... Tang... Tang San?!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered the little boy Tang San, who he had judged as having twin martial souls before school started but had only mutated to have full soul power.
"Tang San?! Your son is Tang San?!" Yu Xiaogang raised his head and looked at Tang Hao in shock. He couldn't think of any other person with the last name Tang. The only one he had come into contact with recently was Tang San.
But if Tang San is Tang Hao's child, then how could his martial soul be blue silver grass?
Yu Xiaogang was puzzled. According to the ten theories he proposed, the child should inherit the better martial spirit of both parents. How could a mere blue silver grass compare to the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one martial spirit?
Tang Hao still had a cold look on his face, "That's right, Tang San is my son, don't bother him anymore, otherwise..."
A violent aura burst out from Tang Hao. Facing this violent aura, Yu Xiaogang's legs became numb and he fell to the ground.
This breath came and disappeared quickly. It was released in just a moment and then disappeared, as if it had never appeared. Only Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting on the ground, and his slightly wet crotch could prove that this breath was real.
"Why...why, I am the most suitable person to teach your son. With my knowledge and talent, your son will definitely grow into a Titled Douluo under my guidance!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice gradually grew louder and finally turned into a roar. He couldn't understand. He knew Tang Hao and Tang Hao should know the talent he possessed, so why didn't Tang Hao let his son become his disciple?
"Because you are not suitable," Tang Hao said lightly.
But Yu Xiaogang sensitively heard the dissatisfaction and contempt in the voice.
"My son already has someone more suitable to teach him martial arts knowledge."
As he spoke, Tang Hao thought of Gu You, the child who grew up with Tang San. Tang Hao had never thought that a genius with innate full soul power could appear in that small village.
Not only is he gifted in martial arts training, but even more rare is that he also has unique insights into martial arts research.
Tang San inherited Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor, but it was weakened into Blue Silver Grass. In terms of development direction, even the "master" in front of him suggested the control system based on the rope as a template. However, Gu You, like Ah Yin, who was the incarnation of the Blue Silver Emperor, thought of the development direction of an auxiliary soul master who used vitality to provide amplification capabilities.
In terms of martial soul development alone, Gu You is more suitable to guide Tang San than the "master" in front of him, and "scraps" such as soul beast knowledge can be gradually improved in the process of growth.
Thinking of soul beasts, Tang Hao remembered the lightning-struck wood that Gu You had chosen for Tang San. Tang Hao silently paid attention to the knowledge that Gu You had told Tang San.
Although it is unknown why Gu You asked Tang San to choose the Lightning Struck Wood as the first spirit ring of the Blue Silver Grass, this spirit ring is indeed very suitable for the Blue Silver Grass. In fact, the effect of this spirit ring is far more powerful than Tang Hao imagined.
Compare the spirit ring suggestion that Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San when he first met him, and compare Tang San's spirit skills that can be used even as a Titled Douluo. No matter how Tang Hao imagined, he couldn't imagine that the spirit ring suggested by Yu Xiaogang could be comparable to Tang San's spirit skills.
"Hmph." The more they compared, the more Tang Hao felt that Yu Xiaogang in front of him was simply useless. He was several decades older than Gu You, but he did not have the knowledge comparable to that of someone his age.
Tang Hao's cold snort touched Yu Xiaogang's delicate and sensitive heart. His pride was his knowledge and talent in martial arts research.
In Yu Xiaogang's view, Tang Hao's behavior was ruthlessly trampling on the thing he was most proud of.
"Impossible! How could a place like Notting City have a better martial arts researcher than me?" Yu Xiaogang yelled at Tang Hao.
Yu Xiaogang's performance made Tang Hao look down on him even more. Although he wanted to directly tell Tang Hao about Gu You's teachings to Tang San, on the one hand, Gu You was the same age as Tang San, or even a little younger than Tang San. It would be embarrassing to tell others that his child, a Titled Douluo, was taught by the grandson of a small village chief.
Secondly, it is also a kind of protection for Gu You. Although Tang Hao has seen Tang San and Gu You's sparring from afar and felt that Yu Xiaogang would not be able to beat Gu You, Tang Hao, who is from the same big sect as Yu Xiaogang, knows very well that without sufficient strength, money and power can easily destroy a person. Yu Xiaogang has been working in Notting City for many years, and there is no way for him to protect Tang San's "good helper" unless he does not want to be exposed.
"You don't need to know, just stop disturbing my son. Otherwise..." After saying that, Tang Hao turned around and left without caring what Yu Xiaogang thought.
-----------------
ps: The Titled Douluo in this book are not omnipotent. The physical fitness and sensory abilities of weapon spirit masters are not as good as those of beast spirit masters of the same level (without special circumstances), and they cannot be invisible. In this case, they cannot enter the Spirit Hall in public and eavesdrop on Gu You and Tang San's conversation.
Compared with the protagonist who is talented and creative, Yu Xiaogang was let go. Since there is Gang, why is there You (laughing). When I was writing this chapter, I found that this book and the Riyue Yuhao I am following got the same number of recommendation votes. I feel like chasing a star successfully, and I am excited. Please recommend, please collect, and please vote for the monthly ticket
Chapter 55 Brothers
"Oh!"
After Tang Hao left, Yu Xiaogang was silent for a long time, and suddenly he slammed his fist on the ground with such force that his fist even bled.
"Damn it, damn it, another reckless man who doesn't understand the beauty of my theory." As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang smashed it a few more times, and blood splattered.
"I used to regard you as my idol, but I didn't expect you to be such a person."
Yu Xiaogang even secretly wondered why Tang Hao's child's martial spirit was blue silver grass, and even wondered if Tang Hao would have any color. The thought of destroying Tang San even flashed through his mind for a moment, but from what he said just now, he could also feel that although Tang San didn't know Tang Hao's true identity, Tang Hao had been secretly protecting Tang San.
Due to the deterrent power of a Titled Douluo, and a Titled Douluo who was able to fight back in the siege of the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang had to swallow his dissatisfaction no matter how dissatisfied he was.
Yu Xiaogang wanted to stand up, but his legs were too weak and he tried several times before he succeeded.
"Damn it!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly jumped up, swept all the books on the table, picked up the cup and bottle and smashed them on the ground and the wall. Fortunately, because of the holiday and the New Year, both teachers and students in the college went home, otherwise seeing such a manic Yu Xiaogang, who knows what strange rumors would arise.
"Ha, ha." After smashing the things, Yu Xiaogang supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath.
"Very good, old and young, you all look down on me, right?" Thinking of the contempt shown to him by Tang Hao and Tang San, and Gu You who didn't even want to talk to him, the anger in Yu Xiaogang's heart was enough to burn down the whole room.
"Tang Hao, your son will definitely participate in the All-Continental Soul Master Competition in the future. I will train a team and, in front of everyone's eyes, destroy your son and the little followers (Gu You: Who called them little followers?) that you arranged for your son." Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, but because he was worried that Tang Hao would make a surprise attack, he spoke to himself in a very low voice.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered that his "good brother" the four-eyed cat owl Flanders had said that he had founded a Shrek Academy outside Soto City and had invited him to teach martial arts knowledge.
But at that time, because of Liu Erlong's matter and the desire to find a direct disciple to prove himself, he did not agree. But now, Yu Xiaogang has no other choice. Except for Flanders' Shrek Academy, no other academy is willing to train students completely according to his arrangement.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang started packing his luggage and prepared to go to Soto City to find Flanders.
Yu Xiaogang left Nottingham overnight without looking back, "Wait for me, those of you who look down on me, I will show you how powerful I am!"
Back to Holy Soul Village,
In front of the blacksmith shop, there was a small figure sitting and looking up at the starry sky. Two other figures in the room were watching his back.
"Xiao You, Xiao You, Xiao San is so sad now, what can we do to make him happy?" Xiao Wu leaned close to Gu You's ear and whispered.
Gu You was also helpless and replied in a low voice: "How should I know?"
Gu You didn't expect that Tang Hao's departure would be such a big blow to Tang San. He thought that his presence could weaken Tang San's need for Tang Hao, but it seemed to have no effect.
This was something Gu You had not taken into consideration. In his previous life, Tang San was an orphan who was adopted into the Tang Clan. Tang Hao was the first blood relative he had in his two lifetimes. The connection through blood was not so easy to replace.
Tang San looked at the night sky. He never thought that Tang Hao would leave after he returned home. The letter he left behind even gave him the feeling that they would never see each other again.
He remembered that Gu You once said that his father Tang Hao might be the wanted Haotian Douluo, and that he was forced to close the mountain and split the Haotian Sect, and also thought of his biological mother whom he had never met.
Thinking of his dark childhood, Tang Hao didn't know how to take care of himself. If he didn't have some Xuan Tian Gong internal force, he might have died long ago. When he grew up and was able to move around on his own, he became the one who took care of Tang Hao. Tang Hao only worked as a blacksmith to make money and drank. Although he didn't beat or scold him, he didn't give him any fatherly love either.
Tang San wondered if he was not good enough, so Tang Hao abandoned him.
Tang San wanted to tell Tang Hao to tell him the secret in his heart, saying that he was his son and was willing to bear it all together. But Tang Hao just left without saying a word.
Tang San even wondered whether he should just follow Tang Hao's advice and stop being a spirit master and just be a blacksmith in the village.
The reason why Tang San was willing to become a soul master in the beginning was not only because he was attracted by the stories about various soul masters told by General Gu You, but also because he could receive gold soul coins after becoming a soul master. With these gold soul coins, Tang Hao could drink better wine.
Seeing Tang San motionless, Gu You gave Xiao Wu a look, then walked to Tang San's right and sat down.
Xiao Wu didn't understand what Gu You's eyes meant at first, but when she saw Gu You's actions, she hurriedly walked to Tang San's left and sat down.
Feeling someone around him, Tang San turned around and saw that it was Gu You. He had dull eyes and asked in a confused tone: "Xiao You, should I continue to be a spirit master?"
Gu You was very surprised. He had never expected that Tang San would be so shaken by Tang Hao's departure and the letter he left behind. He thought, "In the original novel, Tang San wasn't so shaken, how come he became like this after adding me?"
What Gu You didn't expect was that after he ruined Tang San's plan to become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, the pillar that should have supported Tang San to continue being a spirit master completely disappeared.
Originally, after Tang San met Yu Xiaogang, whom he thought was like a second father, what supported Tang San to become a spirit master was not only to make Tang Hao's life better, but also to help Yu Xiaogang prove his theory.
But now one of the pillars is gone, and the other has never appeared at all, which has led to Tang San becoming what he is now.
Seeing Tang San's lifeless eyes, Gu You sighed inwardly, raised his hands, and slapped Tang San's face hard.
"It hurts, what are you doing?" The sharp pain from both sides of his cheeks directly awakened Tang San's consciousness. Tang San looked at Gu You in confusion, completely unaware of why he hit him for no reason.
Seeing that Tang San had come back to his senses, Gu You stretched out his left hand and put his arm around Tang San's shoulders from behind. Tang San could clearly feel the warmth of his palm, but he didn't know if it was because his body was frozen from sitting still for too long.
"Xiao San, don't worry. Uncle Tang Hao may have just gone out to meet his friends. Maybe one day when we come back from vacation, we will see him lying on the ground drunk and waiting for you to feed him sobering soup."
"And you still have me, Xiao San. We are brothers, and no matter what happens, I will always help you and will never abandon you."
------------------
ps: The protagonist loves girls, that's it, eh.
I remember a reader said that it would be boring if I was still level 30 in the th chapter. I thought about it and found that it was true, so I decided to let the protagonist still be level (laughs). Everyone go to bed early, and finally continue to ask for recommendation votes, collections, and monthly votes.
Chapter 56: Three Brothers, but Douluo Continent
(*I'd like to state in advance that this chapter may be extremely toxic, so I hope everyone will consider it carefully. I posted something related to my work a minute before this chapter was published. If you are interested, you can go and have a look after reading this chapter.)
Tang San looked into Gu You's eyes. Unlike Tang Hao's cloudy eyes, Gu You's eyes were very clear, and Tang San could even see his own reflection in his pupils.
Tang San suddenly felt the warmth on his left shoulder spread throughout his body, and the cold wind on winter nights was no longer scary.
Gu You felt that Tang San seemed to have lost the motivation to be a spirit master, so he said: "Xiao San, if you don't want to be a spirit master, or can't find a reason to be a spirit master, then you should continue to work hard to practice for my research."
Hearing Gu You's words, Tang San seemed to have found the motivation to keep going, "Yes, how can I give up? I promised Xiao You that I would help him prove his theory and help him become the pinnacle of martial spirit research."
"And me, I'm your friend too." Xiao Wu's voice came from the other side. Tang San turned his head and saw Xiao Wu looking at Tang San seriously: "Remember, I'm your friend too. I'll help you no matter what happens."
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, then at Gu You on his right. He thought that his heart was strong enough after living two lives as a human being, but at this moment Tang San's eyes were still wet.
"Thank you, Xiaoyou, thank you, Xiaowu." Tang San's voice had never been so soft, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We are brothers after all." Gu You shook Tang San vigorously with his left hand, with a smile on his face.
"You're welcome." Xiao Wu held her face with her hands and gave Tang San a bright smile.
Looking at the two people on his left and right, Tang San's originally depressed mood recovered a little and he revealed a faint smile.
Seeing Tang San smile, Xiao Wu patted Tang San's back fiercely, "Don't be depressed, the expression just now doesn't suit you at all. Your father has left a letter for you. Who knows, one day when you return home, you may see the same scene as Gu You said."
The smile on Tang San's face turned into a bitter smile, "Maybe. But why didn't he tell me in person? Xiao Wu, you know, Dad is my only relative. Without Dad, home is no longer a home."
