Chapter 86: The Breakdown of Father and Son Tang San, Abolishing the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul_2

After a long silence, Tang San slowly said, "If I discarded the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul, I would still have the Hao Tian Hammer Martial Soul left."

"Are you resenting me?" Tang Hao's eyebrows raised as his eyes suddenly turned icy, "You should know that discarding a Martial Soul can cause unimaginable damage to you. You might never be able to reach the realm of a Titled Douluo in your lifetime...

Even becoming a Soul Douluo could be difficult. Can you accept such an outcome?"

Ah, this...

Facing Tang Hao's questioning, Tang San's face changed instantly, his expression freezing on his face.

Tang Hao's words had struck a nerve.

"Can I accept that outcome?"

"No!"

"Since I, Tang San, have been reborn, I must become the strongest in Soul Land, dominant among Douluo."

Tang San also had ambition and aspirations.

Otherwise, in his past life, he wouldn't have stolen the Tang Sect's secret techniques.

"Even if you can accept it, I can't accept that outcome."

At this moment, Tang Hao spoke again, his hands gripping Tang San's shoulders and hoisting him up.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Tang San.

"Do you know? After the battle with the experts from the Martial Soul Hall, I was severely injured, and it's difficult for me to break through the level 95 soul power in this lifetime.

But you are different. You have Twin Martial Souls, a rare future powerhouse of Soul Land. You are my only hope. To return to the sect, to overthrow the Martial Soul Hall, to avenge me and your mother, to glorify the Hao Tian Clan, all of these are what I am counting on you to do!"

"Of course, I can't just abandon so much hatred for personal feelings. I want to invest everything in cultivating you to make you strong! So, between your mother and you, I would of course choose you!"

Tang Hao's expression gradually became wild.

"Dad, father.."

"Everything you said, I understand it now."

Tang San said somewhat fearfully.

Even his gaze became evasive, not daring to look at Tang Hao.

"Thump."

The next moment, he was thrown onto the ground by Tang Hao.

"What use is understanding now, when everything is already gone."

"Ah Yin is gone, the Blue Silver King is gone, and your Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul has no hope of awakening in this lifetime."

"The Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul was ultimately too weak; it couldn't maintain balance with the Hao Tian Hammer. In other words, you can't continue cultivating after reaching level 50. Otherwise, you'd surely cause an imbalance of Martial Souls, which would lead to your body exploding and death!"

Tang Hao's voice gradually filled with despair.

However.

He was desperate, but Tang San was even more desperate.

"A lifetime as a Soul King?"

"How can I live with that!"

He stared blankly at a spot, his pupils losing focus.

Woowoo...

In the dense forest, father and son remained silent, only the breeze passing by, conveying their sentiments.

Woowoo...

Wanting to cry.

Just like that, who knows how much time passed.

A resolute look flashed in Tang Hao's eyes; he had made a decision.

"Xiaosan, at this point, in order not to limit your future, there is only one path left."

He said to Tang San with a serious voice.

"Is there still a chance for change?" Tang San's eyes brightened.

Tang Hao shook his head, "There's no longer a chance for that, we must take a different path now."

"What path…" Tang San began, a shiver in his heart, feeling a bad premonition.

"You mentioned before..."

"Dad, are you really going to discard my Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul?"

Tang San's pupils suddenly shrank, and fear appeared on his face, "Didn't you just mention that discarding a Martial Soul would have a major impact on me?"

"Sigh,"

Tang Hao sighed, "Xiaosan, you have to understand that times have changed. Twin Martial Souls are certainly better than just the Hao Tian Hammer Martial Soul, and if you could continue to possess your innate Twin Martial Souls talent without risking any danger, of course, there would be no need to discard your Bluesilver Grass.

But now, the Twin Martial Souls won't make you stronger; instead, they will become your shackles, restricting your future growth. Therefore, there's absolutely no necessity for the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul to exist.

After all, with just the Hao Tian Hammer Martial Soul to cultivate in the future, there's still hope that you could become a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo. However, maintaining the Twin Martial Souls, in the end, you'd just be a waste who could never break through the Soul King level in your lifetime."

This...

Tang San's face went through a series of changes. He couldn't deny that, as cruel as Tang Hao's words were, they made sense.

His Twin Martial Souls were essentially ruined, and would only be a burden in the future.

To become a Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo was certainly better than never breaking through the Soul King level, right?

But...

This is a Twin Martial Souls talent that is extremely rare even in Soul Land.

To just discard it, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?

"Xiaosan, I know you feel unwilling and regretful, but there really is no other way."

"And rest assured, even if you cultivate the Hao Tian Hammer alone, it won't be much inferior to having Twin Martial Souls."

Tang Hao tirelessly tried to persuade him.

Another wave of silence followed.

Tang San finally nodded, "Dad, I've decided. Please go ahead and destroy my Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul."

"Good! That's the right decision!"

Tang Hao nodded and then came over to Tang San's side again, "Then let's begin now."

Tang San was startled, "Isn't this a bit sudden?"

"Better a short pain than a long one." Tang Hao said and, with the swiftness of a thunderclap, slapped Tang San on the head.

At the same time, powerful Soul Power surged into Tang San's body.

"Ah..."

"It hurts!"

Tang San felt a throbbing pain all over, as if it were about to exceed his limits of endurance.

Tang Hao just muttered, "Hang in there. I'll be gentle. It'll stop hurting in a moment."

...

Meanwhile.

Icefire Polarized Eyes.

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Xiao and couldn't help saying, "What's with you, kid? Why do you keep showing up here?"

In contrast, Qin Xiao looked back at Dugu Bo with a peculiar expression, "Didn't you overlook one thing? This is my territory, aren't you just a hired hand?"

Suddenly.

Dugu Bo was at a loss for words.

His earlier words had been spoken subconsciously, after all, having been in charge of the medicinal garden for decades, some things aren't so easy to change.

"Alright, stop looking so aggrieved. Actually, when you think about it, you haven't lost anything."

Qin Xiao waved his hand, then said, "I'm here today to talk to you about something."

"What is it that you need to inform me personally?"

"Wait, you're not thinking of getting me involved in tricking someone, are you?"

Dugu Bo immediately showed a look of caution.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? Would Your Highness be that kind of person?"

In the side, Dugu Yan, after hearing Dugu Bo's words, didn't even wait for Qin Xiao to respond before she started defending him.

"Ah, the morals of the world are deteriorating."

"So soon and you're already turning your elbow outwards?"

Dugu Bo shook his head and sighed, a look of heartfelt pain on his face.

"Grandpa..."

Dugu Yan stomped her foot in frustration and pouted.

"Enough, you two, stop bickering."

Qin Xiao interrupted the play-acting duo, "I came to tell you that Xue Xing's dead."

"What?"

Dugu Bo's pupils shrunk sharply, and the next moment he couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill him?"

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, first shook his head, then nodded, "That kill can't be directly placed on my head, it was more indirect."

"What exactly happened?" Dugu Bo asked with a frown.

"He had joined with Avalanche in a forced coup, which I thereafter stopped."

"But, because of the failure of that event, Xue Xing, unwilling to accept punishment, chose to commit suicide..."

Following that, Qin Xiao briefly described the course of events at the Heaven Dou Palace to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were left stupefied.

"To think, it's unbelievable that Xue Xing turned out to be a Soul Douluo Level expert."

"What's more unbelievable is that he and Avalanche would do such a thing."

Dugu Bo kept shaking his head.

Clearly, the events described by Qin Xiao were far beyond his expectations.

"When people are desperate, they can do anything."

Qin Xiao said, "But from the strength Xue Xing showed, he was prepared for this, wasn't he?"

Dugu Bo nodded, "Indeed, be careful in the future, and try to avoid walking at night. Xue Xing probably hates you to death, and I bet even as a ghost he won't let you go."

"Heh," Qin Xiao laughed dismissively, "Do you think I care?"

"And what about Emperor Xue Ye?" Dugu Bo asked.

Emperor Xue Ye?

Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, recalling Bai Baoshan's anxious look, and said lightly, "I guess his chances are slim."

"Slim chances?"

Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows, "Then aren't you at a great loss?"
