Chapter 160: Tang San's Interest in the City of Slaughter, Yu Yuanzhen Reveals the True Face of Yu Xiaogang!

Tang San followed Sword Douluo to Tang Hao's resting place.

To avoid disturbing Tang Hao's rest, Tang San deliberately slowed his pace until he saw Tang Hao lying pale in bed, his eyes much less bloodshot.

Thinking of his father's outnumbered battle that day, Tang San became even more determined in his resolve to cultivate the Haotian Hammer.

However, he didn't rush and planned to first examine his father's condition.

Under Sword Douluo Chen Xin's gesture, Tang San approached Tang Hao and took his left wrist to check his pulse.

Seeing Tang San's seasoned appearance, Sword Douluo Chen Xin couldn't help but narrow his eyes involuntarily.

He originally thought Tang San was just finding an excuse to see his father, but now it seemed like he truly knew how to check a patient's pulse.

Curiously watching from the side, Sword Douluo was eager to see what Tang San could do.

Tang San closed his eyes and focused, and a gentle soul force belonging to the Mysterious Heaven Technique flowed into Tang Hao's body through his meridians, carefully examining.

Moments later, when Tang San opened his eyes again, they were filled with shock!

It was exactly as Sword Douluo said!

His father's body was indeed plagued with old ailments!

Tang San sucked in a breath of cold air.

Even with such a body, he could still compete with many Titled Douluos of the Hall of Martial Souls!

Truly worthy of being Tang San's father!

"Sword Douluo senior, considering my father's current condition, he probably needs a lot of medicinal herbs for consolidating his foundation and nurturing his elements, and also some..." After a while, Tang San gently released his father Tang Hao's arm and suddenly said to Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Listening carefully to Tang San's words, Sword Douluo gradually became curious.

Because the medicinal herbs Tang San mentioned were almost the same as theirs, and even a few more herbs. Upon closer thought, it seemed like the effect might be better than their combination.

"A good combination, I heard your name is Tang San?" Sword Douluo praised before asking.

Tang San nodded. "Yes."

Sword Douluo asked, "Where did you learn your pharmacology from?"

Tang San naturally couldn't reveal the fact that he was a reincarnated person, so he could only make up a reason: "Reading more books."

"Just theoretical knowledge is not enough," Sword Douluo shook his head, "If you don't have a teacher to personally guide you, you might end up paralyzed by some unknown herbs."

Hearing Sword Douluo's words, Tang San thought it was a good opportunity to show respect to his teacher in front of him. He said, "I only have one teacher in my life, and that is Grandmaster."

"All my knowledge comes from him."

Grandmaster?

Yu Xiaogang?

 Hearing the title Yu Xiaogang, Sword Douluo couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Of course, he knew of Yu Xiaogang's existence.

Several years ago, Yu Xiaogang's incident of bringing students to find women outside was extensively covered in the newspapers.

Everyone knew that this person's character was not very good.

And a few days ago, Bai He, following them back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, also hoped in front of them that Flender could manage his disciple, the chubby one.

That chubby one's character wasn't very good either.

It is said that the chubby one is mainly under Yu Xiaogang's guidance now.

A person like this, could he teach a student like Tang San who seems calm?

Sword Douluo expressed doubts about this.

If it were said that all of Tang San's knowledge came from Yu Xiaogang, then Sword Douluo would be more inclined to believe that Tang San himself was exceptionally talented.

Sword Douluo didn't continue the topic about Yu Xiaogang with Tang San but changed the subject: "Most of the medicinal herbs you mentioned, we Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect almost have them."

"But there are a few rare herbs that are relatively scarce, even our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can't purchase too many from outside each year."

Tang San's face changed slightly upon hearing this.

The medicinal herbs he mentioned were very suitable for helping his father heal his internal injuries. If he could obtain them, it wouldn't be difficult to help his father recover to his peak as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Sword Douluo seemed to think of something and said, "However, I remember that within Poison Douluo's Sunset Forest, perhaps you can find the herbs you need."

"He himself has some knowledge of toxins, as they say, 'medicine and poison are two sides of the same coin,' his medicinal garden contains all kinds of herbs."

At this point, Sword Douluo sighed softly, "It's just a pity that if it were before, we could go there to figure out a solution."

"But now he has joined the Hall of Martial Souls, and he won't let us in at all."

"Maybe to prevent us from entering, he will even upgrade the poison array in his medicinal garden!"

Dugu Bo...

Tang San thought of the old man surrounded by poisonous fog that night.

A ninety-second level Titled Douluo.

"And I heard that now the branch of the Hall of Martial Souls' Emperor City has transferred half of its people to Dugu Bo's Sunset Forest, which can already be called their second base."

"Today, almost no outsiders have the qualifications to enter there."

Sword Douluo sighed, "Now you and I can only wait quietly for your father to recover."

Tang San fell silent, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Sword Douluo senior, do you know what was that killing intent emanating from my father's body during the battle that night?"

He had the Purple Demon Eye and could see the substantial killing intent surrounding Tang Hao.

"That's the God of Slaughter Domain, a domain skill that can only be obtained through the City of Slaughter."

Sword Douluo explained, "Currently, there are only two people in the world who possess this domain."

"One of them is your father, Tang Hao."

Tang San asked, "Who

's the other person?"

Sword Douluo replied faintly, "The current Pope of the Hall of Martial Souls, Bibi Dong!"

The current Pope!

"Sword Douluo senior, is it very difficult to pass through the City of Slaughter?" Tang San asked.

"Hehehe, in a hundred years, only two people have passed through it. Do you think it's difficult?"

Sword Douluo said, "In the City of Slaughter, there are no restrictions. Anyone can kill without restraint, but of course, you may also be chased and killed by others without restraint."

"Once you step into the City of Slaughter, endless slaughter awaits you."

"And, in the City of Slaughter, you cannot use your soul skills."

Tang San was shocked, "Cannot use soul skills?!"

For a Soul Master, the most important thing was the Martial Soul and soul skills!

If you couldn't use soul skills, how much of a difference would there be between a Soul Master and an ordinary person?

"That's right, because you can't use soul skills in the City of Slaughter, even some Title Douluos would ultimately hesitate and not dare to enter."

Tang San nodded.

Indeed, not being able to use soul skills.

That is indeed the biggest limitation!

"Sword Douluo senior, did you also not go to the City of Slaughter because of this reason?" Tang San asked his doubts.

He had seen Sword Douluo Chen Xin's sword that night.

The killing intent contained in that sword, although different from his father's, was equally sharp and pure.

It seemed capable of cutting through everything in the world.

Hearing Tang San's words, Sword Douluo smiled, then said slowly, "There are countless good things in this world, but not everything that's good is suitable for me."

"It's like eating, you don't have to eat all the good dishes to feel satisfied."

"Or like swordsmanship, not learning all the sword moves in the world makes it the number one sword in the world!"

A gleam of sword light flashed in Sword Douluo's eyes, causing Tang San's pupils to contract.

Sword Douluo turned around and patted Tang San's shoulder, like an affectionate elder, saying, "I know what you're thinking."

"In all things, you must measure your capabilities."

"You're still young."

"Only by finding your own true path can you achieve fulfillment."

"Anything given to you by others, whether it's me, your friends, your father, or even your teacher, is just advice or choices."

"Follow your inner choice to become the strongest you can be."

"If one day you really think that the God of Slaughter Domain is the most beneficial to you, you can ask your father."

"As one of the only two successful people in the world, his experience will be the most precious."

After finishing his words, Sword Douluo left Tang San standing there and walked away.

As Tang San listened to the fading footsteps behind him, he began to rethink his many years of study under his teacher Yu Xiaogang, as well as his current experiences.

He began to contemplate which path would be more suitable for himself.

When he walked out of the room again.

Tang San finally saw his teacher again.

"Xiao San, how's your father now?" Yu Xiaogang asked again.

Tang San said softly, "Dad's condition isn't particularly good right now, but with proper rest, he should be able to wake up soon."

As his words fell, a sudden cough came from behind him.

Tang San's eyes widened, he turned around abruptly, and saw his father, who had just been lying in bed, now walking out with the support of the wall.

"Dad!"

Tang San immediately rushed to Tang Hao's side to support him.

"Clear Sky Douluo." Yu Xiaogang and Flender, Liu Erlong immediately bowed when they saw Tang Hao recover, showing their respect.

"Clear Sky Douluo." Ning Fengzhi and the other two Douluos also bowed to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you all for these past few days."

"We're all from the Upper Three Sects, Clear Sky Douluo, there's no need to be polite." Ning Fengzhi smiled.

"The Upper Three Sects are united, how could we let you be captured by the Hall of Martial Souls in front of us." Yu Yuanzhen said.

Tang Hao nodded silently, then looked at Bai He and said to Tang San, "Xiao San, this gentleman is Bai He, my uncle, you can call him grandpa."

Tang Hao came to Bai He, bowed directly, and said, "Tang San pays respects to Grandpa Bai He."

When Tang San and Bai He formally met, Bai He immediately helped Tang San up and said, "Child, there's no need to kneel to me."

Tang San shook his head. "You are my uncle, it's only right for me to kneel."

Tang Hao chimed in, "Uncle, Little San has his own thoughts. Since he wants to pay his respects to you, let him do so."

With Tang Hao's words, Tang San bowed deeply to Bai He again, showing his respect.

"Haha, good! Today, father and son reunite at my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, let's celebrate," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

It was the first time representatives from the Upper Three Sects had gathered here, truly a first.

Tang Hao and his group knew they couldn't leave in the short term, as both inside and outside the imperial city were filled with Spirit Hall's people.

Instead of trying to break through the encirclement forcefully, it was better to stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a while. At least they needed to heal their injuries first.

Immediately, Ning Fengzhi summoned servants to prepare a feast.

...

Inside the room.

There was no expression on Yu Yuanzhen's face as he sat there.

Beside him, his younger brother Yu Luomian dared not speak, standing there like a statue.

While Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang knelt on the ground.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"So, you two have progressed further?" Since arriving at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Yu Yuanzhen had learned about the matter between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang through Flender.

Flender had considered staying silent.

But faced with the 95th-level Soul Douluo's pressure, he could only spill everything he knew from the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle, this is all my fault, I have nothing to do with Xiaogang," as soon as Yu Yuanzhen spoke, Liu Erlong immediately stepped forward to defend Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Luomian, who was on the side, closed his eyes directly at this move.

Stupid move!

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Erlong protected Yu Xiaogang, Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, and a wave of soul power instantly shook Liu Erlong away, banging her against the door with a loud noise.

"Erlong!" Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes wide, wanting to turn around, but found himself fixed in place, unable to move his hands and feet.

"Useless!"

Yu Yuanzhen's reprimand sounded like thunder in Yu Xiaogang's ears: "At this time, you still hide behind a woman. What kind of nonsense have you been up to these years outside?"

If Yu Xiaogang could have responded just now, Yu Yuanzhen might have given his son, who had already left the family, a little more credit.

Unfortunately, he didn't even seize this opportunity.

Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened. Faced with his father's reprimand, he couldn't even muster the courage to argue.

"Originally, with your strength, Erlong could have found a strong Spirit Douluo to be his man."

"But because of you, she will have to live under the gaze of others all her life!" Yu Yuanzhen lamented angrily.

"No! I don't mind!" Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to continue, Yu Xiaogang suddenly exclaimed loudly, "Uncle! I love Xiaogang! I don't care about other people's eyes, I don't care about other people's gazes!"

"I just want to be with him!"

"Please, let me be with him!"

Yu Xiaogang's tears streamed down his face. He had been waiting for Yu Xiaogang for so many years, and he didn't want to be separated from him.

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang insisted on being with his son like this, Yu Yuanzhen really didn't know what to say.

The two not only didn't match ethically, but more importantly, both of them were mutated martial souls, and the possibility of having a child in the future was very high!

This was very detrimental to the family!

"Xiaogang! Let me ask you, even if you and Erlong are together reluctantly, can you be happy in the future?!" Yu Yuanzhen slammed the table, his eyes sharp as he stared at Yu Xiaogang, "With your current strength, can you protect him?!"

"Leaving the family for decades, still stuck at level twenty-nine!"

"Tell me, what have you learned in these years?!"

Startled by Yu Yuanzhen's momentum, Yu Xiaogang's heart trembled, and he could only reluctantly say, "I have been studying the ten core competencies of my martial soul!"

"Nonsense!"

Yu Yuanzhen directly threw a teacup at Yu Xiaogang's head, and the sharp fragments directly cut a wound!

"Brother, calm down!" Yu Luomian immediately stopped his angry brother and looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, apologize to your father."

"Dad! Xiaogang is not wrong!"

Once again, Liu Erlong stepped forward to Yu Xiaogang's defense, saying, "Isn't Xiaogang's theory correct?!"

Yu Yuanzhen was furious: "Besides some common knowledge that everyone knows, what else can you be sure of in his theory?!"

"You say 'there are no waste martial souls in the world, only soul masters who don't work hard,' then I ask you, why haven't you broken through to level thirty and become a Soul Saint?!"

"Do you admit that you are a waste?!"

Yu Xiaogang turned pale.

He worked harder than anyone else, obviously because...

"Hehe, I see that you actually have a strong aversion to your mutated martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon," Yu Yuanzhen suddenly sneered, making Yu Xiaogang's face change again.

Indeed.

When he was expelled from the family back then, he had a strong resentment towards his martial soul.

At the same time, he tried every means to make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon return to its majestic appearance as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

However, no matter what he tried, it was in vain.

Even when he met Bibi Dong and tried to use the methods of the Spirit Hall, it was useless.

Since then, he had completely lost hope in his martial soul and focused on his theoretical research.

"And your martial soul mimetic theory is even more ridiculous."

"How many soul masters on the continent know about these things, do you think you are the only one?"

"Do you need to say what everyone already knows?"

"Moreover, some of the theories you have released in the past were all plagiarized from the Spirit Hall!"

"It's really embarrassing for me!"

Yu Yuanzhen looked indignant.

Yu Xiaogang, upon hearing this, immediately tried to refute, "I didn't!"

"Is it considered plagiarism to study martial souls?!"

"That's quoting!"

Yu Yuanzhen was about to sit down and take a rest, but he heard Yu Xiaogang's unrepentant voice again, and he almost kicked him out again.

If it weren't for Yu Luomian's tight restraint, he would

probably have been kicked to death by Yu Yuanzhen.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Yuanzhen looked at Liu Erlong and asked sternly, "Erlong, I ask you, do you want to be with Xiaogang?"

Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "I'm sure."

Does Uncle agree to her being with Xiaogang now?

Yu Yuanzhen said coldly, "In that case, I'll show you something else, and I hope you'll still want to after seeing it."

With that, Yu Yuanzhen took out a pile of paper-like things from his pocket and placed them on the table, indicating that Liu Erlong should come and see for herself.

Yu Xiaogang saw those things and looked puzzled.

He felt like he had seen that stuff somewhere before, but he had forgotten it all.

Liu Erlong looked puzzled as she approached Yu Yuanzhen.

When she saw the pile of paper strips on the table, her beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

But soon, she returned to normal and explained, "Uncle, Xiaogang and Flender have already explained this matter to me. It's because one of his students has the physique of the Evil Fire Phoenix that they went to such a place."

Yu Xiaogang realized what Yu Yuanzhen was showing Liu Erlong.

But he was also glad that he and Flender had explained early on.

"Hehe."

However, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly sneered, "Do you believe such a poor explanation?"

Yu Yuanzhen's words once again lowered the pressure in the room to the extreme.

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Liu Erlong became uneasy and turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, hoping to see something from his eyes.

However, Yu Xiaogang's eyes dodged, seeming unwilling to face it.

This move made Liu Erlong's heart sink halfway.

"Humph, do you think I didn't arrange for someone to secretly follow him after he left the family?"

"Originally, I thought he entered the Spirit Hall to spy for the family and gather information for the family."

"Who knew he was expelled from the Spirit Hall for such a low-level mistake as stealing knowledge from the Spirit Hall."

"Later, he hid in Notting City to start his research, and I don't want to talk about what happened in between."

"Clearly, he could have accepted two disciples, but he gave up on a genius, causing the other party to join the Spirit Hall camp."

"Later, he went to Flender's Shrek Academy. Although he said he went to the brothel for the sake of his students, as a man, I won't say much about this matter."

"But, the most fatal thing is his concealment from you."

Yu Yuanzhen slammed the table, looking at Yu Xiaogang solemnly, "Yu Xiaogang, what are you afraid of?!"

"Are you afraid that Erlong will give up on you because of this?"

"If you are honest with Erlong, I can still think highly of you."

"But now, it seems that I was wrong."

"You are not only an incompetent soul master but also a cowardly person!"

"You often put the phrase 'I want to become a master of martial soul theory' on your lips, but you don't even care about those ordinary soul masters."

"Do you know that if you don't have the backing of the family behind you, what right do you have to wander around the mainland for so many years?"

"Now you even need to rely on concealment to maintain your relationship with your bed partner. Do you think you can still be intimate and treat each other as guests in the future?"

After saying this, Yu Xiaogang knelt on the ground like a wooden chicken, speechless.

Dumbfounded.

He... couldn't find a reason to refute.

He could even feel that the eyes of his second uncle, Yu Luomian, who was beside him, were full of hatred towards him.

Not to mention the original close relationship with Erlong, her eyes at this moment were also devoid of color.

"Humph! Since I've said all I have to say, and you're not willing to be honest, let me help you be honest."

"Luomian, come out with me and let them talk alone."

"When there's a result, let them out."

With that, Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Luomian out of the room and slammed the door shut with a bang.

In the room, only Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang remained.
