Chapter 298 Returning to Holy Soul Village

"Xiaotian, are you leaving?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask.

Feng Xiaotian chuckled and nodded, "The family has already arranged a training location for us. Now that the academy's enrollment is over, there's nothing more for us to do, so..."

Ning Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master. Although Ning Fengzhi did not force her to return to the sect, she was still not allowed to go out freely while staying in the academy.

Huo Wu comforted her, "Rongrong, the three of us will go to Hurricane Canyon for training. It's not far from Tiandou City."

"If we have time, we will come back to see you."

Feng Xiaotian looked into the distance and sighed, "I wonder how the captain and the others are doing. I bet their strength has improved quite a bit. If we don't go out and train soon, we'll probably be left far behind."

Ning Rongrong had no reason to force them to stay, so she forced a smile and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight as a farewell dinner."

……

Notting City.

Several years later, Tang San returned to the place where he once lived.

Notting Academy did not change its appearance because of his and Xiao Wu's arrival; it remained the same as before.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang stop in front of the academy gate, Tang San hurriedly asked, "Teacher, aren't you going back to take a look?"

Yu Xiaogang naturally wanted to go back and show off, but Shrek Academy's ranking in the competition was revoked, which meant that they had no results in the Soul Master Competition.

In addition, the events that occurred during the finals had already been made public by the Spirit Hall.

Going back now would only make us a laughing stock, wouldn't it?

Of course, what he didn't know was that the residents of Notting City were not interested in what was happening in Spirit City.

People in big cities are restless and competitive, which is why they care so much about this.

Small cities have their own customs; people here lead relaxed lives, are indifferent to things on the mainland, but are happy to care about trivial matters.

Yu Xiaogang considered himself a disciple of a prominent family, and naturally felt alienated from the people here. How could he possibly know about their living habits?
This is just a way to save face for his fragile ego.

As for Tang San, he also didn't really want to return to Notting Academy.

This place holds too many memories of Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu is still in the hands of the Spirit Hall, and he doesn't want to be reminded of her by looking at these things.

Liu Erlong sighed, "If we don't want to go back, then we don't have to. Xiao San, where is this Holy Soul Village you mentioned?"

Titan added, "We haven't encountered any powerful figures from the Spirit Hall along the way. Young Master, please lead the way with confidence."

Holy Soul Village is located in a mountain valley on the outskirts of Nottingham, requiring a long walk.

On the way, Tang San and his group saw many villagers from Holy Soul Village. These villagers were carrying baskets or pushing wooden carts, bringing their own fruits and vegetables to the city to sell in order to supplement their family income.

Since Tang Hao left, Tang San has never returned to the village.

Apart from Old Jack, who frequently visits him at the academy and is aware of his changes, the villagers of Holy Soul Village no longer recognize him.

Furthermore, ever since he learned that his father was a Title Douluo, Tang San had already distanced himself from these people, both openly and secretly.

Even if they run into acquaintances, they won't take the initiative to greet them.

They claimed that in order to avoid being betrayed by the villagers and thus having the Spirit Hall discover their whereabouts, they had to hide their identities.

……

Within Holy Soul Village, the people coming and going are mostly local villagers; apart from the deacons of the Spirit Hall, few outsiders come here.

Upon seeing Tang San and his group, they were filled with curiosity and couldn't help but come over to greet them.

Tang San covered his face with a mask, and no one knew what he looked like.

When asked by the villagers, he casually asked, "I'm passing through this place and need to use the blacksmith's shop here to make some things. I wonder if there is a blacksmith in your village?" Tang Hao had really intended to spend the rest of his life in Holy Soul Village back then, but it was only after Tang San awakened his twin martial souls that he changed his mind.

Tang Hao is one of the three great craftsmen on the continent, possessing superb blacksmithing skills.

All the farm tools he made were very durable; otherwise, given his unpopular appearance, he wouldn't have been able to live with Tang San in Holy Soul Village for several years.

Several years have passed since Tang Hao left, and these farm tools are still intact, which is why Holy Soul Village has no resident blacksmith.

Upon hearing that outsiders had arrived in the village, old Jack came to greet them, leaning on his cane.

Upon seeing the four people's attire, he respectfully said, "Esteemed Soul Masters, there is no blacksmith in our village, but the blacksmith shop is still there. If you are willing to do it yourselves, I can take you there."

Titan laughed heartily, crossing his arms over his chest: "No problem, I know how to forge iron, lead the way."

Tang Hao's blacksmith shop was located on the west side of the village, a densely populated area. If Tang San hadn't been worried about being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble, he would have sneaked home long ago.

Old Jack, at the moment, had not seen through his disguise.

As they entered the blacksmith's shop, Old Jack reminded them, "Soul Masters, this used to be the residence of the village blacksmith. That fellow was a bit eccentric, so please, Soul Masters, don't make a mess of this place."

"That guy has been gone from Holy Soul Village for a long time; I wonder if he'll ever come back."

After giving his instructions, Old Jack left the blacksmith shop.

Titan sighed, "Young Master, I never imagined that you and Master would live in such a dilapidated place. You must have had a hard time in the past."

Tang San's eyes dimmed.

If he could, he would like to go back to the days he used to live.

At least at that time, his father was still by his side.

With no time to pay respects to Tang Hao, Tang San immediately began searching the room.

Over the years, villagers have helped maintain the blacksmith shop, so the interior is not dilapidated, and even the placement of the furnishings is just as it was in their memories.

Tang San entered Tang Hao's room and began to explore.

The room was sparsely furnished; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was bare.

One glance was enough to tell there was nothing to be gained.

Undeterred, Tang San searched every corner of the room.

For a long time, they still didn't find it.

Titan and Liu Erlong used their soul power to sense and search every corner of the room.

Soul bones naturally emit soul power fluctuations, which can be sensed even when stored in a soul tool.

Liu Erlong said, "Xiao San, don't worry. Perhaps His Majesty Haotian didn't put the soul bone here. Think carefully, does His Majesty Haotian have other treasure troves, or places he frequents?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly thought of something: "This place is not far from where His Majesty Haotian and Qian Xunji fought back then. If we follow the road in the direction of the former battlefield, we might find something."

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Spirit Hall has already been here and taken the soul bone.

In short, they couldn't afford to miss any opportunity, no matter how small.

As for the former battlefield, Yu Xiaogang only knew its general location; whether he could find the soul bone was up to fate.

Furthermore, Tang San cannot spend too much time on this matter; he still needs to cultivate.

Titan added, "Young Master, this old servant remembers that the practice of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique requires using the impact of a waterfall to temper the body."

"Why don't you find a place nearby to cultivate first, and we'll take care of the rest?"
