Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

As a result, Tang Hao looked even older after more than two years apart.

His eyes were sunken, and he was so thin that he was skin and bones. He looked as if he might die at any moment.

"Dad!" Tang San rushed forward to his father and exclaimed with delight, "Dad, I've obtained the God of Slaughter Domain! Also, my soul power has reached level fifty-nine! What happened?"

In just over two years, his soul power increased from level 52 to level 59.

Seven whole levels of soul power, all thanks to those fallen ones.

Of course, Tang San would never tell anyone else, including his father standing before him.

"Come with me. I'll take you to see your mother."

Tang Ritian remained as cold and aloof as ever. Over the past two years, he had noticed that his health was deteriorating.

This wasn't due to the injury, but rather stemmed from various aspects of the body. It was as if the body was nearing the end of its lifespan.

He had considered forcing the stagnant blood in his body into his right arm and left leg, and then severing his limbs to survive. However, he feared that if he did that, his entire body would collapse immediately due to the loss of his Title Douluo cultivation, and he would die from exhaustion.

Because he was worried that he wouldn't make it to that point, he decided to take his son to see Ah Yin ahead of time.

The two crossed mountains and rivers and arrived at the bottom of a waterfall a dozen miles behind Holy Soul Village.

Tang Hao opened the stone door.

In front of Ah Yin, he told Tang San about all the things that had happened between him and Ah Yin.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, and he began to pant heavily.

"Spirit Hall, what a Spirit Hall! You killed my mother and injured my father like this. I will never forgive you."

Because of his extreme anger, the Killing God Domain was automatically activated, causing the Blue Silver Emperor, which was transformed from the Gold-Eating Insect, to sway uncontrollably.

It was this moment that allowed Ning Chuan, who had already obtained the Ghostly Fox Soul Ring for Xiao Wu, to sense it.

"The gold-devouring beetles that were left there have become agitated. Has Tang Ritian and that little bastard arrived? In that case..."

Thinking of this, Ning Chuan no longer hesitated to release the soul power supply from the Gold-Eating Insects that were attached to the Blue Silver Grass and disguised as the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Little Liu, I succeeded. After absorbing the Ghostly Fox Soul Ring, my soul power increased to level 72. Not only that, I also obtained a head soul bone, and it's a wisdom skull. It can not only enhance my charm ability, but also, in conjunction with the Purple Demon Eye, emit extremely powerful ghostly light."

Having just absorbed the spirit ring and spirit bone, Xiao Wu happily rushed into Ning Chuan's arms, sharing her joy with him.

"Really? Congratulations."

Ning Chuan smiled. The Ghostly Fox and the Three-Eyed Demon Fox both belong to the spirit-type soul beasts.

Slightly different, the ghostly fox also possesses the attribute of strength, making it far stronger than the three-eyed fox wisdom skull that Xiao Wu had in the original story.

"Calm down. Right now, you have to be patient." Tang Ritian pressed down on Tang San's shoulder, forcibly suppressing his murderous aura back into his own body.

"I know, Dad. I will never approach the Spirit Hall lightly before I have truly grown up."

Tang San gradually relaxed and took a deep breath.

"Not only that, you also need to seek companions. Whether it's your former Shrek friends, the two great empires, or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant School, you need to unite all the forces you can."

Tang Ritian earnestly gave his instructions.

"Does Ning Chuan count too?" Tang San still couldn't forget Ning Chuan. After all, this guy had hurt Xiao Wu before, and was also the only opponent he felt was invincible.

If Ning Chuan hadn't died, he would have been forever worried about Xiao Wu being taken away, and would have lived forever in the shadow of the other man.

Tang Ritian raised an eyebrow and said, "As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. According to the information I received, Ning Chuan has already joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and has even subdued the four elemental academies for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He must have already felt the danger from the Spirit Hall. The most urgent task now is to get rid of the killing intent on you."

"Killing intent?" Tang San was taken aback.

Tang Ritian nodded and said, "That's right. Perhaps you haven't realized it yet, but the killing intent emanating from you has reached an extremely strong level. Under these circumstances, you will never be able to hide yourself in the Soul Master world in the future, so you must cleanse yourself of all pretense."

Tang San thought about it and it seemed to be true. "Then what should I do?"

"I'll find someone to help you with that. Once you've washed away the dust of worldly desires, you should be around level 60 by now. Come find me here again. I have something to tell you, and then you can go find Xiao Wu."

His original plan was to have Tang San absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's natal spirit ring at level 60.

After reaching level 70, allow him to obtain Xiao Wu's sacrifice.

But now it seems he might not be able to support his son until he reaches level 70.

Therefore, the only option is to let him obtain Xiao Wu's sacrifice first, and then acquire the Blue Silver Emperor's natal soul ring.

In any case, since that spirit ring can automatically increase its age, as the crucial seventh spirit ring, it is not a bad choice.

After saying this, Tang Ritian turned to 'A Yin' and said, "Alright, Xiao San, kneel down and say goodbye to your mother one last time. Then we'll leave."

Tang San nodded emphatically and knelt down before his 'mother'. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but ever since the two of them started talking, he had noticed that something was wrong with his mother. She was emitting a faint, almost imperceptible golden light, and her aura was growing weaker and weaker.

No, this is not an illusion.

More and more golden light dissipated, and the once vibrant 'mother' was withering away at a visible rate.

"What, what's going on?"

Tang San asked in alarm.

Tang Ritian began to wail and scream, "How could this happen? How could this happen? Ah Yin, how could this happen? No, Ah Yin, don't leave me!"

He knelt before 'Ah Yin', wailing and howling, while simultaneously channeling his soul power into her, attempting to save her.

Tang San then joined in as well.

No matter what the father and son did, they still couldn't save 'Ah Yin'.

Tang San was completely dumbfounded. His mother was gone?
"Bu A Yin"

"Mom, don't go."

Amidst the mournful wails, the father and son watched helplessly as Ah Yin transformed into a withered Blue Silver Grass.

After crying for a while, they finally stopped. Tang San helped Tang Ritian up and said, "Dad, don't be sad anymore. If Mom knew in the afterlife, she would not want to see you like this. What we should do now is to gather our strength, destroy the Spirit Hall, and kill everyone who hurt Mom."

"Let's go, I'll take you to wash away the dust of your past." Tang Hao didn't answer, but stood up dejectedly and walked out of the cave, never uttering another word after that.

At this moment, he became even more dejected than Tang San had been before his martial soul awakened. (End of Chapter)
