Meeting Hu Liena Again (3)

Tang San now secretly loosed a breath in his heart. When the Deathgod Domain Hu Liena released collided with his, he knew he had already reached his goal. What he wanted to exploit was this relationship between him and Hu Liena.

"I wouldn't have thought I would see you again here."

Tang San said faintly.

Hu Liena smiled slightly, big eyes brimming with charm staring fixedly at the ice chill in Tang San's eyes without blinking,

"I didn't expect it either. Did you come to hunt spirit beasts?"

Tang San nodded silently,

"I'm at the sixtieth rank."

These words appeared, and Xie Yue and Yan behind Hu Liena were simultaneously gobsmacked. Even though they had also already reached the sixtieth rank level, that was only recently. Their goal in coming here with this troop this time was also to obtain their sixth spirit rings, but this youth in front of them who couldn't be older than them, had unexpectedly also reached the same level. In fact, they were outstanding figures even among all the several tens of thousands of Spirit Masters in Spirit Hall.

Yan really couldn't stand it, and asked Hu Liena:

"Nana, who is he? How come we haven't met before?"

He and Hu Liena had grown up together, cultivated together. They had been together for the majority of more than twenty years. Hu Liena knowing people he unexpectedly didn't know, this was also an important reason Yan was filled with hostility towards Tang San. Yan had always believed that only he could suit Hu Liena. Of course, whether this was his own wishful thinking, only Hu Liena knew.

Hu Liena's brows wrinkled slightly, faintly saying:

"He's my friend."

Only a simple explanation, then she once again turned to Tang San,

"Tang Yin, just now was a misunderstanding. Don't mind it. Our camp is not far ahead. They're standing guard. Why did you come to hunt spirit beasts by yourself, isn't that too dangerous?"

Tang San looked at Hu Liena, his eyes displaying a bit of loneliness,

"If not alone, who would I ask to come and help me?"

Hu Liena stared blankly a moment. For some reason, as she saw that loneliness in Tang San's eyes, her heart ached without any reason. She practically blurted out:

"You still have me!"

She reacted just as the words left her mouth, hastily supplementing:

"We're friends. Moreover, don't tell me your sect wouldn't help you get spirit rings? You should know that, at this level, if you want to obtain a spirit ring that suits you well, it's very difficult to reach by relying only on your own strength."

"Sect?"

Tang San smiled, the smile somewhat sorrowful,

"I haven't been part of a sect for a long time."

Hu Liena looked distracted once again. The meaning in Tang San's words was very clear, but she found it very difficult to believe the Clear Sky Sect would renounce an outstanding disciple like Tang San.

Tang San was of course cheating her. Regarding cheating Spirit Hall's people, Tang San didn't feel a trace of guilt, especially for Xiao Wu's sake.

He had learned a great many things with his aunt at the Moon Pavilion in the past year. Concealing the true opinion in his heart as well as concealing his mood was one of his compulsory subjects. Tang Yue-Hua had personally instructed him in how he could change his temperament, and in different situations, in contact with different people, face them using different methods and manners, only like this could things be accomplished best. As a celebrity in this batch of graduating students, Tang San had undoubtedly already obtained the essence of this.

It was just because he didn't say much and avoided stating it clearly, that it was also even easier for people to believe. As for this play, he did it for Hu Liena.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then I'll leave."

Speaking, Tang San turned to walk towards the depths of the forest.

"Halt."

Just when Hu Liena prepared to call Tang San to stop, Yan to the side rushed to speak up first.

Tang San slowly turned around, looking at this youth who was completely releasing intense hostility, and calmly said:

"Is there anything else?"

Yan coldly said:

"Immediately leave Star Dou Great Forest. This isn't a place you should come to. Our Spirit Hall has business in Star Dou Great Forest right now, other Spirit Masters can enter in half a year."

Tang San smiled. In that faint smiling expression, the ice chill on his face quietly disappeared, replaced by a noble grace,

"Is Star Dou Great Forest your Spirit Hall's property?"

Looking at that as if cleansed in the spring wind smile on Tang San's face, and still the grace he suddenly displayed, Hu Liena's gaze couldn't help turning somewhat lifeless. She had never seen Tang San with such a temperament. This moment, the man in front of her seemed to suddenly have changed, going from the original ice cold to warm, leaving her very uncomfortable. But it was just because of this discomfort that the handsome face was deeply imprinted in her mind.

Yan grew angry, coldly saying:

"You're challenging? Challenging Spirit Hall's authority?"

Tang San smiled calmly,

"You're Spirit Hall's people, I'm not. I'm only a free Spirit Master. You're the one challenging, not me. I'm friends with Hu Liena, not with you."

Finished speaking, he turned around to leave without the slightest hesitation.

A scorching heat abruptly exploded behind his back, even the pitch black forest was also illuminated in fiery red at this instant.

"Careful!"

Hu Liena's voice resounded in practically the first moment.

Tang San didn't turn around, but rather swiftly moved three steps forward. These three steps were very carefully chosen, not at all in a straight line, but rather one step forward to the left, afterwards again to the right, then again turning left for the third step. The split second movement immediately made his silhouette seem to sway, and especially in that instant, his aura became unfathomable.

When his third step touched the ground, using the tops of his toes as axis, his entire body spun at an astonishing speed, the Clear Sky Hammer held in his hand shooting out in passing, surging black light abruptly spreading, a tyrannical current spreading in the blink of an eye, heavily colliding with a more than one meter in diameter fireball.

Even without one spirit ring, Tang San's body had long since been transformed by the Blue Silver Emperor spirit rings, and his Clear Sky Hammer was also urged on by his fifty ninth ranked spirit power. So what if he didn't use spirit abilities? He was still a fifty ninth ranked Spirit King.

With a loud explosion, countless sparks flew in all directions, the fireball completely shattering, and Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer also turned a deep red. But he didn't withdraw a hair's breadth. Bathed in the aftermath of the scorching hot flame, he didn't suffer a trace of injuries from the elemental force.

The fireball exploded, revealing behind it, body already extremely expanded, whole body overflowing with heavenly flame, Yan.

Yan's spirit was a Flame Lord, and after body enhancement, he possessed extreme might. Right now six spirit rings revolved around him, fluctuating, the light of the second spirit ring just vanishing.

"Yan, what are you doing?"

Hu Liena stepped sideways, already blocking in front of Tang San.

Because of anger, her lovable face already seemed somewhat pale, releasing her spirit almost without the slightest hesitation, fiery red long hair scattering across her back, and still that astonishing curve of her back and butt that even Tang San with his steady mind didn't dare look at.

"Nana, we can't let him leave, this person despises our Spirit Hall, we have to call him to account. Moreover, you also saw, his spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer! Isn't he a Clear Sky School person? We'll arrest him and bring him back, that's a meritorious deed. If he leaves, and by any chance alarms our target, won't we have wasted all our previous efforts on this trip? You also won't be able to explain that to Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff."

The expression in Hu Liena's eyes chilled, as if she had returned to those days in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Seeing the expression in her eyes, Yan couldn't help being shocked, Hu Liena had never used this kind of manner against him.

"I said, he is my friend. Yan, out of consideration for our many years of friendship, I'll let you off this time. If there's a next time, don't blame me for being blunt. Mounting a sneak attack from behind, is that the work of a great man?"
