Chapter 17 Tang Hao Talks About Old Times and New Arrangements_1

"Xiaosan, don't overthink it. I will avenge this myself sooner or later,"

Tang Hao consoled.

Upon hearing this, the anger in Tang San's eyes eased a little.

Tang Hao was right. If he couldn't take revenge himself, relying on Tang San would be an endless wait.

"Dad, are there some things you can tell me now?"

Tang San looked at Tang Hao and voiced the biggest confusion in his heart.

Ever since the day he awakened his Martial Soul, he knew his Martial Soul was extraordinary. He also realized that Tang Hao was not simple, but after so many years, he still hadn't figured out his own origin on his own.

He had even asked Yu Xiaogang several times about the matter of the second Martial Soul.

But Yu Xiaogang always kept silent about it.

This made Tang San very frustrated.

"Ah..."

"Fine, fine, some things should eventually be told to you,"

Tang Hao sighed and still made a decision.

This day had come earlier than he had expected in his heart.

Even, much earlier.

"I am not a downtrodden blacksmith, you should have guessed that. Actually, I was born in the Hao Tian Clan, and our Martial Soul is the Hao Tian Hammer. Some incidents happened back then, which led us to a life of wandering homelessness..."

Tang Hao's eyes carried a reminiscent look as he slowly recounted the old stories.

"What? It was Martial Soul Hall that forced you into a dead end back then..."

"Xiaosan's mother wasn't human, but the Bluesilver Emperor..."

Tang San and Xiaowu were shocked.

They couldn't pull themselves together for a long time.

"The incidents back then were actually my fault. If I hadn't taken Ah Yin to the bustling Spirit City, she wouldn't have been targeted by a Titled Douluo from the Martial Soul Hall, and those later incidents wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault!"

"Ah Yin, I am sorry to you."

As Tang Hao spoke, he broke down in tears. His voice was filled with self-reproach and remorse.

"Dad, please, be a little calmer."

"I believe mom's spirit in heaven won't blame you,"

Tang San said dryly as he tried to console.

However, Tang Hao's gaze sharpened, and a trace of indignation flashed in his eyes, "What are you saying? What is that? Xiaosan, your mother isn't dead; she just reverted to her original form. I have always believed she can return to her original self and reunite with our family."

Ah.

This...

Tang San was somewhat speechless. The Bluesilver Emperor changing form and reconvening?

Even if he were to reincarnate dozens of times, could he wait that long?

But he also knew that Tang Hao's current state couldn't withstand the shock; he simply couldn't accept reality.

He obediently said, "Dad, I was wrong."

"Hmm," Tang Hao nodded, then looked towards Xiaowu, "You, I've told you about my origins. Now let's talk about this little girl's matter."

Xiaowu? Tang San was startled, "Dad, what's wrong with Xiaowu? You haven't been by my side for many years. I have always treated her as my sister, my family member."

Saying so, Tang San stood protectively in front of Xiaowu.

Seeing this, Tang Hao sighed and said, "Little girl, you tell him yourself."

"Ah..."

Xiaowu sighed gently, "Xiaosan, step aside. I believe Hao Tian Douluo won't harm me. Actually, just like your mother, I am also a soul beast that has taken human form after a hundred thousand years..."

What!

Tang San was struck as if by lightning.

He had never expected this outcome.

Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Xiaowu...

He found it hard to believe that this was true.

"Is it hard to accept?"

Xiaowu smiled sadly.

"No, it's not like that, Xiaowu..."

Tang San hurriedly shook his head, "No matter what, you are my Xiaowu, my sister."

Having heard Tang San's words, a touch of emotion flickered in Xiaowu's eyes.

"Alright, I know you have a lot to say to each other, but you can talk slowly on the road," Tang Hao said slowly.

By now, he had stood up, his breath much steadier.

It was obvious that Tang San's Golden Needle Acupoint Clearing had been quite effective.

"On the road? Dad, where are we going?"

Tang San asked, puzzled.

"Not 'we,' but 'you,'" Tang Hao said gravely.

"Qin Xiao is the most talented Soul Master I have ever seen. An eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo capable of exploding with power comparable to that of a level 97 combatant.

Such talent is unparalleled, not just by me. Even the great ancestor of our Hao Tian Clan, Elder Tang Chen, couldn't compare with him. If left unchecked, he could potentially become a tremendous disaster in the future."

"Dad, are you going to fight Qin Xiao? With your current injuries, you barely have one-tenth of your fighting power, you can't possibly defeat him," Tang San panicked.

He was well aware of Tang Hao's physical condition.

Going after Qin Xiao now would be like a long-lived man hanging himself—a death wish.

And thinking about Qin Xiao's miraculous lightning-controlling techniques sent chills down Tang San's spine.

Simply put, if Tang Hao truly sought death, Tang San would suggest suicide over seeking Qin Xiao...

"Hahaha, Xiaosan, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm well aware of my own condition. Don't worry, I won't be handing over my head to Qin Xiao so easily; I have my own decisions to make."

Tang Hao said with a smile, "Have you forgotten? We have a sect backing us."

"A sect?" Tang San was startled; having been disowned by the sect, who else would care about you?

Tang Hao smiled, "Don't worry, there is a way. After all, the current Sect Master is your great uncle."

At this, Tang San fell silent.

And Tang Hao turned his gaze to Xiaowu beside Tang San, "Xiaowu, I want to ask you to take care of Xiaosan for me while I'm not around.

Take him to Aquipeia Forest, where you have home-field advantage. No matter how mighty Qin Xiao is, he won't be able to find you there."

It was then that Tang Hao finally revealed his purpose.

This was also why he had disclosed Xiaowu's identity in front of Tang San.

Next, he could only entrust Tang San to Xiaowu's care.

Although he was not very confident about this soul beast, he had no other options at this point.

"Uncle Tang, rest assured, I will definitely protect Xiaosan,"

"No one can bully Xiaosan in Aquipeia Forest, not even Qin Xiao. I will have Da Ming and Er Ming beat him until he's looking for his teeth!"

Xiaowu said, even waving her little fists around in a cocky manner.

"Good, your words put me at ease."

"You should set off now," Tang Hao said, his face showing a rare smile.

To this, Tang San and Xiaowu had no major objection.

Only, Tang San felt reluctant in his heart. After so many years apart, having just met, they had to say goodbye again.

...

Days passed and nights faded.

Three days went by in the blink of an eye.

And in these three days, Qin Xiao had finally recovered to his peak condition.

He felt like going outside for some fresh air.

When he arrived at the plaza, he found Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing ready to depart on the training field.

Zhao Wuji stood in front of them with his arms crossed.

"Are you going soul beast hunting?" Qin Xiao wondered. Soon after the start of the term at Shrek, Oscar had reached level 30, and then they all went soul hunting.

It was during this soul hunting trip that Tang San had acquired one of his strongest enhancements, the Eight-Spider Spear.

Qin Xiao was curious—without this opportunity, would Tang San still manage to get the Eight-Spider Spear?
