Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

What help could Yu Xiaogang, a mere Great Soul Master whose talent had been exhausted, provide on Tang San's path to growth?
It's estimated that they took advantage of Tang San's ignorance and brought him under their wing. Now that Tang San has grown up, they think it's all their own achievement and are frantically trying to glorify themselves.

If it were anyone else, given Sea Dragon Douluo's arrogance, he would naturally disdain associating with him. But what could he do when Tang San was a person who respected his teachers and valued the Way? In addition, Tang San's status on Seagod Island was extraordinary, so even if Sea Dragon Douluo harbored resentment towards Yu Xiaogang, he could not show it.

Of course, with Tang San's current level of knowledge, how could he not see through this?

Otherwise, why would he, in his original timeline, have preferred to painstakingly revive Da Ming and Er Ming in the God Realm rather than simply bring Yu Xiaogang to the God Realm to enjoy eternal life?

As for the so-called "Yu Xiaogang was reluctant to part with Flander, Liu Erlong and others, and was unwilling to go to the God Realm", hehe, this is just a polite thing to say for the sake of face.

After Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul awakened for the second time, he realized how ridiculous the theories Yu Xiaogang had experimented on him were. However, he had already established a persona of "respecting teachers and valuing the Way" and "pure and innocent." If he killed Yu Xiaogang with his own hands or ignored him, it would inevitably lead to the powerful figures of the Clear Sky Sect having a bad opinion of him.

Especially before seeking revenge against the Spirit Hall, he must maintain his current public image in order to win over more allies in the future counterattack. As for Yu Xiaogang, as his strength gradually broke through, their relationship had long since become distant.

The reason why he maintained a respectful demeanor was partly because Yu Xiaogang knew how the Spirit Hall operated, which would be beneficial for his future revenge, and the other party did indeed have some use in certain areas.

But it's absolutely impossible for Tang San to regard Yu Xiaogang as his "adoptive father" like he did when he was six years old!

Tang San said, "Teacher, the Sea Dragon Douluo is returning to the mainland with me this time. His main purpose is to help me find the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and to add the remaining soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul."

Yu Xiaogang's joy subsided slightly, and he said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Xiao San, your second martial soul still needs to acquire a soul ring."

As he spoke, he took out a manual from his soul tool. "Little San, I have done some research on the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul over the years. Because of your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, your first three soul rings were wasted. If you cultivate according to my method, you will definitely be able to save your talent."

Tang San looked at it with disdain.

How could Yu Xiaogang, an outsider, compare to his uncle in terms of research on the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit?
However, given his nature of "respecting teachers and valuing the Way," he couldn't very well refute Yu Xiaogang's feelings in public.
“Master, I appreciate your kindness on behalf of Xiao San. Xiao San’s cultivation of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is a major event for our Clear Sky Sect and requires utmost care.”

It was Tang Xiao who spoke.

Although he often calls someone "master," he looks down on Yu Xiaogang from the bottom of his heart.

However, out of consideration for Tang San and not wanting to put Tang San in an awkward position, she gave him a friendly look.

However, this does not mean that Yu Xiaogang can take advantage of the situation and interfere in the internal affairs of the Haotian Sect.

Furthermore, during Wu Qi's coronation ceremony, the Clear Sky Sect was used as a pawn by the Star Luo Empire, losing all face. Within the entire Clear Sky Sect, besides him and Tang San giving Yu Xiaogang face, who else would pay any attention to Yu Xiaogang?

Even a six-year-old child from the Haotian Sect would stay away from Yu Xiaogang because of his parents' advice.

In short, in the Douluo Continent, true strength lies in one's own power. Someone like Yu Xiaogang, who seeks fame and fortune and pats himself on the back, can never earn genuine respect. Yu Xiaogang's smile froze as he looked to Tang San for help. Tang San sighed inwardly, ultimately maintaining his facade, and accepted Yu Xiaogang's booklet, indicating he would refer to it carefully in the future.

Tang Xiao didn't say much. After a pause, he said, "Xiao San, the war on the continent has now stopped. With the mediation of Xingluo, Tiandou and the Spirit Hall, our Clear Sky Sect's 'crimes' have been cleared, and we can now freely enter and leave the Tiandou Empire."

“These past few days, I’ve sent many people to Heaven Dou City to investigate the mystery of Seahorse Douluo’s demise, but the information we’ve received is no different from the initial announcement. It is indeed Seahorse Douluo who was killed because he coveted the empire’s treasure trove!”

Hailong Douluo crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Eurasia has indeed discovered the location of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Otherwise, he would not have dared to launch a sneak attack on the Heaven Dou Empire's treasure vault."

"Unfortunately, this guy was too eager for quick success and didn't bring out the information. Instead, he alerted the enemy. Otherwise, once I arrived on the mainland, I could have joined forces with the Haotian Sect members to break into the Heavenly Dou Empire's treasury without suffering any losses."

Tang Xiao sighed repeatedly.

What's the point of saying all this after the fact? It's a done deal that Seahorse Douluo was greedy for merit and acted rashly, and he has already paid the price for his impulsiveness. There's no point in dwelling on this matter anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Xiao asked, "Little San, I'll help you hunt down the remaining spirit rings of the Clear Sky Hammer first. If Sea Dragon Douluo minds, he can stay temporarily within my Clear Sky Sect. My Clear Sky Sect will continue to send people to investigate the news of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. If we have any news, we'll act together again, how about that?"

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded in agreement. Seagod Island had no influence on the mainland, and if he acted alone and was discovered by the Spirit Hall's experts, his fate wouldn't be much better than Seahorse Douluo's.

……

More than half a year has passed since the grand papal coronation ceremony.

As time passed, people stopped talking about the grand coronation ceremony and instead talked about the new atmosphere that Wu Qi brought to the Spirit Hall during his reign.

As the malignant tumors within the branch halls were eliminated one by one, the Spirit Hall rebuilt its image in the eyes of the people. Furthermore, with the dismissal and reassignment of redundant officials, the administrative efficiency of the branch halls was greatly improved.

In the past, people had to enter a lottery and wait in line to get things done at the Spirit Hall, but now that's no longer necessary. Public opinion of Spirit Hall staff directly impacts their future promotions, so who would dare to verbally abuse people who come to the hall for services?

In some remote branch temples, the number of people seeking services is extremely small. In order to gain more positive reviews, these deacons even compete for "customers".

Furthermore, to prevent anyone from engaging in fraud, the Court of Judgment will periodically send personnel to conduct undercover investigations of various branch halls. If any misconduct is discovered, the person will either lose their job or be publicly beheaded.

Of course, there are always rewards as well as penalties. With the streamlining of the administrative team, the income of the remaining administrative staff has also increased. Moreover, if they get a high score in the annual performance appraisal, the year-end performance bonus can even be equivalent to a year's income.

In this way, the lower-level staff will only work even harder. (End of Chapter)
