Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 446 Tang San: I think the Haotian Sect already has...
After cultivating for a long time, Tang San opened his eyes. His aura unconsciously emanated from his body, and he was filled with impatience. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely agitated, showing signs of going into qi deviation. The evil aura emanating from his body made him seem no different from an evil soul master.

"Level 46, level 46, not enough, this is still not enough."

Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect in about seven and a half to eight months, and he was able to advance five levels, which was an incredible speed that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of in their lifetime. However, in Tang San's eyes, this speed was far too slow, which made him extremely irritable. He wished he could enter the Soul Beast Forest again and slaughter and devour it at will.

"Mistress, calm down. You've done a great job. Control your emotions and don't lose control."

A steady voice came, and a tall man walked out from behind the woods to Tang San's side. He put his hand on Tang San's shoulder and injected his powerful soul power into Tang San's body, calming Tang San's turbulent soul power.

"Father, I."

Hearing the man's concerned voice, Tang San's emotions gradually stabilized, but there was still a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"It's okay, mistress, you've done everything you could."

The tall man sat beside Tang San, soothing him with gentle words, his brows full of composure.

Although this person was called "father" by Tang San and looked almost exactly like Tang Hao, he was not Tang Hao. At this moment, Tang Hao was still in the Spirit Hall's dungeon, waiting for the verdict after the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

This is Tang Xiao, the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect and the Haotian Douluo, and Tang Hao's elder brother.

The reason why Tang San calls Tang Xiao "father" stems from the events of the day he returned to the Clear Sky Sect.

After Tang Chen returned to the Haotian Sect, the sect once again found its leader. The worries about how to survive in the future vanished instantly. Some even immediately proposed to take revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Nine Heart Begonia Clan. The entire sect was in chaos due to the excitement of the situation.

But just as Tang Chen revealed Tang San's identity and was about to announce Tang San's return to the Haotian Sect's family tree, the previously chaotic voices almost instantly became unified.

From Tang Xiao, the sect leader, to the three remaining elders, from the elderly to the children who had not yet awakened their martial souls, everyone in the Clear Sky Sect knelt on the ground, weeping and lamenting the harm Tang Hao had caused to the sect, and desperately trying to prevent Tang San, the traitor's child, from returning to the Clear Sky Sect.

It's easy to get into trouble by challenging the majesty of a peerless Douluo with your own flesh and blood, but some elderly members of the Clear Sky Sect, who are old and have physical disabilities (from the battle with the Spirit Hall before the mountain was sealed), are willing to risk their old lives to stop Tang Chen's decision.

They felt that verbal persuasion was useless, and physical persuasion was even less likely, so they made the most drastic choice.

Several elderly people whom Tang Chen had watched grow up committed suicide by crashing into pillars, and some even severed their own heart meridians, all to demonstrate their rejection of Tang San's return to the Clear Sky Sect. Even though Tang Chen used his authority to suppress these sentiments, almost everyone in the Clear Sky Sect still rejected Tang San, as Tang Hao's son, returning to the sect.

Regardless of how the Clear Sky Sect treats outsiders, they are quite tough on their own. Faced with this issue involving their own people, even Tang Chen, as a peerless Douluo, had to back down.

Tang San returned to the Clear Sky Sect, but not as the son of the traitor Tang Hao. Instead, he was adopted by Tang Xiao from Tang Hao's family and returned to the Clear Sky Sect as Tang Xiao's son.

Although this was somewhat unnecessary and redundant, it was at least an answer, giving face to both the clansmen and Tang Chen himself. Only then did Tang San reluctantly return to the sect.

But in reality, even with a different father, there were still countless people within the Clear Sky Sect who were hostile towards Tang San. Even children playing with their fingers on the ground, guided by their parents and other elders, would burst into tears and scramble away at the sight of Tang San.

Nobody treated Tang San well on a daily basis. His room was often splattered with excrement, his meals were frequently served with extra small gifts, and some people in the sect even tried to poison him.

Tang Chen punished one group, Tang Xiao punished another, but this kind of thing never stopped. Some radical guys even followed the example of their elders who committed suicide by running into pillars. They would give Tang San another surprise, or simply beat him up before finding a pillar to run into and die, or sever their own heart meridians.

In the end, Tang Chen and Tang Xiao were left with no choice but to order Tang San to move to a mountain in a corner of Haotian Peak, and forbade anyone else to set foot on that mountain. Only then did they barely manage to stop the conflict between Tang San and the Haotian Clan.

In Tang San's own experience, the past few months since returning to the Clear Sky Sect had been worse than the days he had spent in Holy Soul Village before awakening his martial soul. Apart from his grandfather and "father," there wasn't a single good person in the entire Clear Sky Sect.

Several times, Tang San was so agitated that he wanted to kill, wanting to use hidden weapons and poison to take out a group of people he hated the most. However, due to the difference in strength and many other reasons, Tang San ultimately restrained himself.

He himself didn't realize that because he was being targeted by others within the Clear Sky Sect as Tang Hao's substitute, Tang San's feelings for Tang Hao were gradually changing. Some of the malice he had accumulated in his daily life was transferred onto Tang Hao, but because of the distance between them, it was filtered through a layer of light, so no one could perceive it.

During these past few months, Tang San's cultivation and his absorption of spiritual energy never stopped. However, unlike Tang Hao, Tang Chen would always go to the Star Dou Great Forest to capture a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, killing some as resources and forcibly bringing the rest back to Haotian Peak to serve as sparring partners for Tang San.

As long as you can't kill him, beat him to death. Anyway, although using the Devouring skill for cultivation will cause problems with your soul power, it's excellent for healing injuries.

Tang San's daily routine consisted of waking up and then devouring, followed by being beaten, then devouring again, and finally being dragged by Tang Xiao to the bottom of a waterfall to practice the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. After practicing, he would use devouring to recover his strength. At night, he would be suppressed by Tang Chen using the Killing Domain, and would circulate the Mysterious Heaven Technique to purify his soul power.
If it weren't for the abundance of resources, allowing Tang San to quickly recover from his injuries through his devouring skills and the flesh and blood of soul beasts, he would have been trained to death long ago.

It can be said that the five-level increase in eight months was indeed due to the effects of the Devouring Skill and also some of the effects of the Nine Dragons Grass.

However, it was also thanks to the plans devised by Tang Chen, the peerless Douluo, and the dedicated training by his expensive adoptive father, Tang Xiao, that Tang San's potential was fully unleashed, forcing him to reach the level he had at the same stage in the original story.

Although doing so will leave significant hidden dangers and ailments in the body in the future, no one, including Tang San, cares much about the future right now.
