Chapter 305: Tang San: The Spirit Hall Should Not Exist in This World!

Meanwhile, at Thunderclap Academy, Yu Xiaogang had finally leveraged family connections to locate Tang Hao's last known whereabouts and sent for him, requesting him to come to the academy for matters concerning Tang San.

Upon hearing it was related to his son, Tang Hao immediately set out for Thunderclap Academy.

In Flender's office at Thunderclap Academy, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, Tang San, and Tang Hao were gathered.

Tang Hao spoke gravely, "Master, what happened that required me to come so urgently?"

The messenger had provided only limited information: that Tang San was at Thunderclap Academy and had been attacked by someone of likely Spirit Saint or even Spirit Douluo strength. Tang San had learned of Tang Hao's identity, and it was essential for Tang Hao to come quickly.

Yu Xiaogang explained in a low voice, "Lord Haotian, shortly after we arrived at Thunderclap Academy, Tang San was attacked by a powerful individual claiming they couldn't locate you but had traced your son's whereabouts and decided to teach him a lesson."

"During the assault, the enemy discovered Tang San's external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances. Since Tang San had not fully integrated with the spirit bone, it was forcibly removed, resulting in his spirit rank dropping to thirty-four."

Flender added, "Tang San mentioned that the oppressor's pressure didn't exceed the level of a Spirit Saint; otherwise, he would have been crushed instantly. I estimate the attacker to be a high-level Spirit Saint, possibly even a Spirit Douluo, with at least one space-concealment skill, allowing them to infiltrate the academy unnoticed."

"Thunderclap Academy has several Spirit Saint instructors, and the principal is a Spirit Douluo, yet this intruder managed to slip in undetected. This was no small feat."

Tang San turned to his father, resolute. "Father, can you tell me about the past? With your strength, why did you stay in a small place like Holy Spirit Village?"

Tang Hao sighed, recalling past events. He had planned to wait until Tang San had participated in the Spirit Master Tournament before training him and revealing everything. But now, he had no choice.

"Alright. I didn't want to tell you so soon to spare you from this burden, but since Spirit Hall has come after you, there's no choice."

An hour later, Tang Hao had recounted most of the story. Since Flender and Yu Xiaogang were present, he omitted the detail that Tang San's mother was the Blue Silver Emperor, a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form, saving that for a private discussion.

Upon learning of his father's suffering, Tang San felt hatred toward Spirit Hall, which had caused his mother's death, forced his father into hiding in Holy Spirit Village, and implicated the Clear Sky Clan, leading them to close their gates. Added to his previous grievances, Tang San now felt that Spirit Hall had no right to exist.

A fierce hatred burned in Tang San's eyes.

Yu Xiaogang warned him, "Tang San! Don't let hatred cloud your judgment. You're still not strong enough to face Spirit Hall. You must endure and wait for the right moment."

"I understand, Teacher."

Yu Xiaogang then turned to Tang Hao, "Lord Haotian, is there any way to increase Tang San's strength? He has lost an external spirit bone, and the Spirit Master Tournament is only ten months away."

Yu Xiaogang had high hopes for his talented disciple to shine in the tournament, which would prove his own abilities as a mentor.

Tang Hao considered the situation. At Tang San's current level, he could reach Spirit Power rank forty within ten months if he trained intensely, though that would still be modest within Thunderclap Academy, which would likely have two or three Spirit Elders by then.

"In that case, I'll take Tang San for training. I'll teach him some techniques for the Clear Sky Hammer. Whether he can learn them in time will depend on him."

"Even without additional spirit rings, the Clear Sky Hammer's weight and hidden techniques should enable him to hold his own."

"As for his teammates, I'll leave them to you. I'll bring him back in time for final team preparation."

After this, Tang Hao took Tang San and departed. On the way, Tang San asked curiously, "Father, where are we going?"

After some distance, Tang Hao replied, "We're going back to the village. I want to visit your mother, and there's something I need to give you."

"My mother? But you said she was dead."

Tang Hao's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Yes, she is...sort of. I couldn't explain it earlier, but your mother was a hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor who took human form. She was hunted by the Spirit Hall's Pope, and in the end, she sacrificed herself for me. Because plant spirit beasts are resilient, she was reborn as a Blue Silver Grass seed. She's alive, but she'll never regain her human form."

"We're returning to Holy Spirit Village to visit her. When she sacrificed herself, she granted me a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and a spirit bone, which I've saved for you."

"Since you now know the truth, you can absorb her spirit bone. It will greatly strengthen you."

"I have the spirit bone with me, but I need to let your mother know. She deserves to see how you've grown."

Hearing how Spirit Hall had driven his mother to such a fate filled Tang San with anger. However, knowing he could receive a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone brightened his mood; it would surely elevate his spirit power significantly.

Although he was eager to absorb the spirit bone, he also felt a strong desire to meet his mother. In his previous life, he had been an orphan. In this life, he had only ever known his father. Learning that his mother was still with him, even in a different form, gave him a sense of warmth he hadn't expected.

With no more words, father and son traveled swiftly toward Holy Spirit Village.
