Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 147 Tang Hao's Home Was Stolen

The following day, Tang San left Shrek Academy.

He was not alone; he left with his father, Tang Hao, whom he had not seen for several years.

Tang Hao did not tell him the destination of this trip, but it was easy to guess that it must be related to the Clear Sky Hammer that he was going to cultivate next.

Tang San already knew his father's true identity and was filled with anticipation.

Several days later, led by Tang Hao, the two arrived at the edge of an unnamed forest.

As soon as Tang San arrived, he immediately sensed a familiar aura.

There was a hint of warmth mixed in with the danger.

Tang Hao stopped in front of the forest and looked at Tang San.

"Before you begin cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, you must first add a fourth spirit ring to your first spirit and advance to the Spirit Master level. Perhaps a suitable opportunity will arise in this forest."

Am I finally about to advance to Soul Master?

Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but feel excited, and the image of Su Cheng flashed through his mind.

"sit down."

As he spoke, Tang Hao pointed to the ground in front of him.

He was taken aback for a moment, but still sat down cross-legged as instructed, not understanding what his father wanted him to do.

Tang Hao didn't explain, but walked to Tang San's side and said, "Release your Blue Silver Grass, and then feel it with your heart."

Without thinking twice, Tang San immediately closed his eyes.

Then, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was released, swirling around his body. It contained the powerful spiritual energy he had gained from cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, and slowly dispersed outwards.

The sense of familiarity I felt earlier has become even stronger.

The forest was teeming with Blue Silver Grass, making it an ideal training ground for Tang San. However, he had experienced similar sensations before, and apart from the feeling being more intense here, there seemed to be nothing particularly special about it.

"Don't you feel anything?"

As time passed, Tang Hao grew somewhat disappointed.

Then I calmed down.

Indeed, the mistress's current mental strength is too low.

Although he is slightly stronger than Soul Masters of the same level, he is not significantly stronger.

He had expected this, so it wasn't too surprising.

"Alright, come with me."

After letting out a sigh, Tang Hao took the lead and ran into the forest.

Tang San noticed Tang Hao's fleeting disappointment, and felt a sense of unease, wondering what had just happened.

The two walked one after the other through the dense forest, with endless blue silver grass and towering trees in sight, and an ancient atmosphere overwhelmed them.

After traveling for more than an hour, the enormous Blue Silver King appeared before them.

"what?"

Looking at the Blue Silver King before him, Tang Hao was immediately surprised.

He had never met the Blue Silver King before, but had only heard Ah Yin mention this place.

But the aura of this giant Blue Silver King was much stronger than Ah Yin had described.

Tang Hao had a feeling that if he were to combine this Blue Silver Grass Forest with his own strength, he might not be able to secure a victory against his opponent.

This is quite unexpected.

Ah Yin had no reason to lie to him; the Blue Silver King of the past definitely did not have the strength of a Title Douluo.

Improving the cultivation level of a soul beast requires a lot of time, not to mention a plant-type soul beast like the Blue Silver King.

Clearly, for some unknown reason, the Blue Silver King also encountered some special opportunities in these less than twenty years.

Little did he know that the Blue Silver King was even more astonished at that moment.

It sensed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Tang San's body.

Looking at the two people in front of him, a number of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he did not speak.

"Are you the Blue Silver King?"

Tang Hao stared at the huge, aged face in the center of the vines, his tone extremely cautious and polite.

"It is I," the Blue Silver King said. "What brings you here?"

Although the question was directed at Tang Hao, its gaze was fixed on Tang San, who was standing to the side.

My initial feeling was correct; it is indeed the purest Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

That's really strange.

Although as a plant-type soul beast, it naturally has a relatively low level of spirituality, the Blue Silver King has lived for an extremely long time and is not as inexperienced as Ah Yin. Over time, it has accumulated knowledge and wisdom far beyond that of ordinary people.

Upon seeing Tang Hao and his son Tang San, one immediately knows that an extremely complex story must be involved.

However, those things are irrelevant to it.

The true Blue Silver Emperors have temporarily departed, and they are no longer motherless children. Furthermore, there will never be two Blue Silver Emperors in the world at the same time.

After a brief silence, Tang Hao said in a deep voice, "This child has the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor flowing through his veins. I hope to help him achieve the true awakening of his martial soul."

"Blue Silver Emperor? Truly awakened?"

Before Blue Silver King could say anything, Tang San's heart was already filled with a storm of emotions, a mixture of surprise and intense excitement.

His mind worked quickly. From Tang Hao's words alone, he realized that his martial soul was not as simple as ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

In fact, he had long suspected that his martial soul was not just ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

Although his martial soul was not powerful, it was far superior to the ordinary useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass. However, he never expected that there would be an opportunity to go even further.

However, the Blue Silver King's answer was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire in his heart.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do," the Blue Silver King said calmly.

Tang Hao frowned upon hearing this, but he wasn't too disappointed, as it was within his expectations.

"So, my mental strength really isn't enough after all..."

"..." Blue Silver King remained silent in response to his self-talk.

After a moment, Tang Hao asked again, "When his cultivation reaches level sixty or seventy, will he meet the conditions to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor?"

"..." Blue Silver King paused for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said bluntly, "It has nothing to do with cultivation level; it's impossible for him to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul."

"What?!" Tang Hao's eyes widened in shock.

"What do you mean 'impossible'? He clearly possesses the pure Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, how could he possibly fail to awaken it?!"

"There's another reason for this. But your son certainly doesn't meet the requirements to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor."

After speaking slowly, the Blue Silver King offered no further explanation.

In its heart, no one was more important than Ah Yin, the true emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan.

Since Ah Yin didn't say much about the two people in front of it at that time, it couldn't possibly mention it again.

He remained silent in the face of Tang Hao's questioning.

Blue Silver King could sense the powerful aura of the man before it, but it was not afraid.

After Su Cheng condensed his fifth spirit ring and advanced here, it greatly improved thanks to the insights he gained at that time.

Not only it, but all the other plants in the entire Blue Silver Grass Forest have also experienced varying degrees of improvement.

In this situation, one would have no fear even when facing a peak Douluo.

Not to mention that the Blue Silver Grass clan is known for its tenacious vitality.

This forest is subtly connected, so even if the strength is similar, or even if the strength is slightly stronger, you can't harm it in the slightest.

Looking at the silent Blue Silver King, Tang Hao hesitated.

He had limited knowledge of martial spirits, only having learned from Ah Yin that the Blue Silver Emperor could awaken.

However, he had no idea whether martial souls and soul beasts were different, or what level Tang San's bloodline was at.

The Blue Silver King before him was once again shrouded in mystery, leaving him feeling somewhat powerless.

He had considered forcing the other party to explain the secrets, or trying to conduct an awakening ritual.

Out of respect for Ah Yin, he still held some respect for the Blue Silver King, but when it came to Tang San's future development, he would obviously have to carefully consider whether to resort to force.

But the most crucial problem is that he is not confident that he can defeat his opponent.

If Tang San is unable to defeat his opponent in battle, the two sides will become mortal enemies, and Tang San will have even less chance to advance further in the future.

Thinking this through, Tang Hao abandoned his plan to take action and said in a low voice, "I understand."

He then turned around and said calmly, "Mistress, let's go."

Tang San's emotions had gone through a rollercoaster ride, from anticipation to doubt to disappointment. Seeing Tang Hao's dejected expression as he turned away, a little dissatisfaction arose in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

He glanced coldly at the Blue Silver King not far away, then followed Tang Hao and left the ancient forest.

After leaving that ancient Blue Silver Grass Forest.

Tang Hao began to slowly tell Tang San about his background.

But instead of immediately talking about the Blue Silver Emperor, they first brought up another matter.

"Xiao San, do you know that the little sister you adopted, Xiao Wu, is not a real human, but actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?"

"What?!" Tang San stopped in his tracks, suddenly stunned by this information.

Tang Hao glanced at him and asked, "Now that you know the truth, what are your thoughts? Are you still willing to consider her your family? Or are you planning to keep her as a pet, to use as your future reserves of soul rings and soul bones?"

"..." Tang San fell silent for a moment, then his expression hardened. "So what if she's human? So what if she's a soul beast? All I know is that she's my sister."

She is also someone I love.

He added silently to himself.

"Is that so? I understand." A complex look flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

His reaction surprised Tang San. "You don't object?"

"I only object to her blindly exposing herself to the world, but I will only support your relationship."

At this point, he sighed again, "But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed powerful. After that little girl used the drug they sell to conceal her cultivation level, even I couldn't see through her true form."

"I see."

Tang San suddenly realized why Xiao Wu was so excited after trying the breath-concealing potion.

"Otherwise, she would absolutely not be able to participate in the Soul Master Competition. In the eyes of a Title Douluo, the existence of a transformed soul beast is as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky."

"But if Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, why is her strength so weak?"

"This involves the secrets of transformed soul beasts."

As he spoke, Tang Hao looked at Tang San beside him, his eyes filled with emotion and nostalgia, and began to recount his past in a soft voice.

"Actually, your mother was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form; she was the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor..."

"..."

As Tang Hao finished telling the story, Tang San's expression changed from initial shock to a slightly ferocious look.

"Wu, Hun, Dian!"

Although his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had told him after returning to the academy half a month ago that he should not be an enemy of the Spirit Hall.

But how can I not avenge the death of my father and mother?

This matter has nothing to do with the teacher; he should bear all the consequences himself.

"Just keep it in mind. The Spirit Hall is powerful now and cannot be defeated by force. Wait until you have achieved some level of cultivation before planning anything more significant."

"I understand." Tang San nodded, his face stern.

In the following days, the two continued their practice while traveling.

Tang Hao didn't mention the final destination, and Tang San wasn't in a hurry. He believed his father had his own plans.

On the way, Tang San had already added a fourth spirit ring of more than seven thousand years to his Blue Silver Grass spirit, which, like his third spirit ring, was also absorbed across time limits.

With this spirit ring, he was more confident in adding a ten-thousand-year spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer in the future.

A few days later, the two arrived at a huge waterfall.

"Follow me."

After saying that, Tang Hao leaped up and quickly arrived at the waterfall reef. Then, he used the Clear Sky Hammer to reverse the waterfall and plunge into the cave in the middle of the waterfall.

Even with Tang San's strength, it would be difficult for him to easily reach that position. However, with the assistance of his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, and the hidden weapon, the Flying Claw, along with the Blue Silver Grass to maintain his balance, he still managed to catch up.

After he expended considerable effort to follow Tang Hao into the cave,

Before he could even take in his surroundings, he felt a shiver run through his body.

A chilling killing intent swept in from all directions, making him feel as if he had been stripped naked and exposed in the icy snow, frozen in place, unable to move.

"Gin!"

Tang San saw a figure kneeling and trembling in front of a mound not far in front of him.

It was Tang Hao.

He had never seen his father make such a weak gesture before.

From an angle he couldn't see, Tang Hao, with his back to Tang San, had his face contorted beyond recognition, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Who is it?!"

A low, indignant growl was squeezed out from between his teeth.

Tang San sensed that the killing intent around him was growing stronger.

Cold, sinister, evil, and terrifying, an immense killing intent so powerful it made one tremble rushed towards them like a ferocious beast.

Even if Tang Hao said it unconsciously and didn't mean it to target him.

Under the intensely cold killing intent, Tang San already felt some difficulty breathing.

I've had similar feelings before.

Su Cheng's sword intent also brought him immense mental pressure.

However, the two convey different meanings.

In comparison, this killing intent appears even more terrifying and direct to Tang San now.

Enveloped in this atmosphere, Tang San felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his hair stood on end, and his thoughts seemed to become sluggish.

What's wrong with Dad?

Also, is this the materialization of killing intent?

Yu Xiaogang once told him that when a person's strength reaches an extremely terrifying level, their killing intent can even become materialized, transforming from intangible to tangible.

But even among titled Douluo, those who can achieve this level are extremely rare.

Nearly half an hour passed like this.

During this period, Tang San silently endured the terrifying pressure without uttering a sound.

By the time Tang Hao regained his senses, he was already pale and swaying precariously.

"...Mistress, come here."

The chilling killing intent receded like the tide, and Tang Hao's slightly weary voice roused Tang San from his numbness.

Upon hearing this, Tang San used his remaining strength to drag his body slowly forward.

He looked at Tang Hao, wanting to ask what had just happened.

But the other person's expression at that moment made him dare not speak.

When Tang San got closer, Tang Hao stared blankly at the empty mound of earth for a moment, then slapped the stone wall next to him.

However, there was no response.

Tang Hao remained silent.

He was actually somewhat prepared.

Since this place has been discovered and the seedling of the Blue Silver Emperor has disappeared, the 100,000-year-old soul bone has most likely been lost as well.

"...Dad, what's wrong?" After a long silence, Tang San couldn't help but ask.

Tang Hao sighed and said in a low voice, "I told you before that your mother left behind a seed after her sacrifice. I originally planted it here."

As he spoke, Tang Hao pointed to the small, empty mound in front of him.

Tang San's expression froze slightly.

He quickly realized what was happening, his confusion turning into shock, and finally into intense, extreme anger.

"My mother...?"

"Not only that, after Ah Yin sacrificed herself, she left behind a 100,000-year-old soul bone. I originally intended for you to use it, so that after you absorbed it, it would improve your physical foundation and make it easier to attach a high-age soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer."

Seeing Tang San's dazed expression, Tang Hao sighed again, "That soul bone has also disappeared."

Tang San's heart sank.

He now knew exactly what a 100,000-year-old soul bone was.

His face grew increasingly grim. "Despicable thief!"

"Sigh, you can go out now. Let me have some peace and quiet."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he ignored Tang San and stared blankly at the mound in front of him.

He wasn't particularly concerned about the loss of the soul bone; he hadn't originally planned to absorb it.

However, the disappearance of the Blue Silver Emperor seedling was something he found hard to accept.

Even if it's just a theft, that's fine. The real fear is that the other party might destroy the seedling or consume it as a precious herb.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt his heart bleeding.

The next day, Tang Hao emerged from the cave, his expression returning to its usual calm.

It just seemed a little more gloomy and dejected than before.

He looked at Tang San, who was sitting cross-legged by the pool, and said calmly, "I will find out what happened. In the meantime, you come with me to add a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer."

Upon hearing the sound, Tang San immediately stood up and went over.

"Dad, the aura you emitted yesterday..."

That terrifying killing intent still haunts him to this day.

Tang Hao pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Although he didn't plan to let Tang San come into contact with the Killing God Domain right now, since his son asked, he still explained, "That's killing intent, the purest killing intent."

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he recalled the scene where he was unable to move due to Su Cheng's sword intent.

In his view, that kind of implication was far less powerful than this materialized killing intent.

"With such a powerful killing intent, wouldn't one be able to completely overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum during battle?"

Tang Hao shook his head.

"Wrong. The greatest effect of killing intent is not to affect the opponent, but to help oneself."

"It allows you to disregard life and death, makes you faster, and allows you to maximize your strength, or even exceed your usual level."

"Having a strong killing intent proves that you have crawled out of piles of corpses and experienced too many life-or-death struggles. Even when facing an opponent far stronger than yourself, you will not be afraid in the slightest."

"Killing intent is a kind of aura. In some ways, it can be equated with courage. Or rather, killing intent is the sublimation of courage."

If Su Cheng had heard Tang Hao's remarks, he would have scoffed at them and laughed at his shallowness.

But Tang San clearly admired and trusted his father greatly, and immediately said with a firm gaze, "Dad, please teach me how to possess killing intent."

Tang Hao waved his hand and refused his request.

"No need to rush. Your task this month is to upgrade the Clear Sky Hammer. As for the rest, I'll guide you through some more training after this Soul Master Competition ends."
