Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 437 Tang Chen and Tang San

It wasn't that Tang Chen was boasting, but rather that he was confident that, as long as he had no other way, no one on the entire Douluo Continent could create such a special cultivation method based on this strange concept.

If he can't do it, then the Spirit Hall can't do it either, and Seagod Island is even less likely to do it. Other rotten fish, shrimp, broken bird eggs, and the like certainly wouldn't have such technology.

Staring at Tang San, Tang Chen was filled with doubt. Left with no other option, the Asura God's divine sense could only use its power to modify Tang Chen's thoughts, preventing him from dwelling on this matter.

"Perhaps he accidentally obtained the inheritance of some senior master? Although a peerless Douluo only appears once every few hundred years on the continent, no one can say for sure how many such powerful figures have ever appeared on the Douluo Continent. Perhaps he accidentally obtained the inheritance of a peerless Douluo who has been forgotten."

With that thought in mind, Tang Chen flashed to Tang San's side and stood there looking at him.

Although they were already very close, Tang Chen had concealed his aura to the extreme. Even with the naked eye, one would subconsciously ignore Tang Chen's presence due to his state of perfect harmony with nature. Tang San, who was cultivating, was even more unaware that someone had come near him, simply continuing his cultivation without a care in the world.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Tang San's soul power circulated throughout his body for a full cycle and then slowly calmed down. He opened his eyes, preparing to exhale a long breath. But before he could even catch his breath, he immediately found a man he didn't recognize standing in front of him, which startled Tang San so much that he swallowed his breath back down.

He subconsciously swung his sleeves, and hidden darts shot out, aiming for Tang Chen's eyes, throat, chest, and groin. Tang Chen simply took a step forward, and his soul power enveloped him. The darts struck the ground with a clanging sound, as if hitting a wall, before twisting and falling to the ground.

Seeing this illogical scene, Tang San subconsciously summoned his martial soul, then used the Ghost Shadow Steps to retreat several steps. Only then did he calm down and look at Tang Chen.

"This humble one, Tang San, greets senior. May I ask who you are?"

"Neither humble nor arrogant, very good." Tang Chen nodded, said something meaningless, and then, under Tang San's wary gaze, his soul power surged in his right hand, summoning his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

Compared to Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer was more than two sizes larger, and it was not the pure black color of a normal Clear Sky Hammer. Due to the modification by the power of the Asura God, the Clear Sky Hammer faintly shimmered with a blood-red light and concealed a sharpness that was different from that of a blunt weapon like the Clear Sky Hammer.

After Tang Chen summoned his spirit, Tang San felt a resonance in his bloodline and involuntarily raised his right hand, summoning his Clear Sky Hammer spirit. Purple spirit rings appeared around him, and the Clear Sky Hammer, with its metallic texture subtly resembling a carapace, appeared in Tang San's hand.

Compared to Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer was utterly laughable, like a toothpick. Just by Tang Chen standing there motionless, Tang San could feel the oppressive force emanating from the very core of his bloodline.

Looking at Tang Chen's nine spirit rings—seven black and two red—and sensing that Tang Chen's Clear Sky Hammer was many times more powerful than his own, Tang San immediately understood something. He knelt down with a thud and burst into tears.

"Great-grandfather, is that you?"

"It's me." Tang Chen looked at Tang San, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and didn't know how to deal with this great-grandson he was meeting for the first time, so he could only answer calmly.

"Great-grandfather, you must seek justice for me and my father! That Spirit Hall!"

"There's no need to say more. I already know what happened. Your father, Tang Hao, brought this upon himself and ended up in this predicament. I've already fought with Qian Daoliu over this, and the result was a draw." "I made a bet with him that the team that wins the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will have the right to deal with your father, Tang Hao."

"If you want to save your father Tang Hao, you'll need to work hard yourself."

Tang Chen gazed at Tang San's purple spirit rings and the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, which was different from the ordinary Clear Sky Hammer.

"You are now a Soul Master. Although the additional purple soul ring on your second martial soul may hinder your potential, you are still full of potential. Even on the entire continent, you should be considered one of the few who can rival you at this age."

"If you are willing to endure hardship, I will take you back to the Clear Sky Sect and train you properly for a few months. When the All-Continent Soul Master Competition comes, you can try to save your father yourself."

"Great-grandfather..." Tang San hadn't expected that even after kneeling down and crying, his great-grandfather would say such indifferent words. Although he hadn't yet felt hatred, he felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that his great-grandfather wasn't as easy to talk to as his father had described.

"I am willing to return to the Clear Sky Sect to hone my skills in order to save my father."

"Good, at least you haven't let down the bloodline of the Clear Sky Sect and the inheritance of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul within you." Tang Chen nodded, then looked at Poseidon. After exchanging a few words with each other, Poseidon nodded to Tang Chen and then left.

Tang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, calmly communicating with Tang San, who was kneeling on the ground, inquiring about his great-grandson's various situations.

After learning how he grew up and in what kind of environment, Tang Chen frowned deeply and became somewhat irritable.

He was always hungry as a child, and after awakening his martial soul, he attended a rudimentary soul master academy. Lacking resources, he was apprenticed to a worthless master, and the soul rings he acquired were completely incompatible with his martial soul. He trained in a shoddy academy, receiving no extra training or the skills expected of a disciple from a sect.

“Growing up in such an environment would ruin even the most gifted person. No, I need to correct this.”

Tang Chen grabbed Tang San, enveloped their bodies with his soul power, and flew into the air. They flew back from Seagod Island towards Douluo Continent.

Knowing that this person was his great-grandfather, and also because he hadn't seen Xiao Wu in a long time and was worried about her safety, Tang San gritted his teeth and mentioned to Tang Chen that he wanted to see Xiao Wu one last time while flying. Tang Chen, who knew Xiao Wu's identity and Tang Hao's initial plan, gave Tang San a slightly strange look before agreeing to his request.

During its flight towards the Haotian Sect, it slightly changed its route and flew directly towards the original location where Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Huang Sangui were.

Although the three had changed locations several times during this period to evade pursuit, they had all left behind secret signals before leaving. Following these signals, Tang San soon encountered the three disguised individuals in another town.
