Flander led Tang Xiao to the back mountain, and Zhao Wuji followed them.
After passing several wooden houses, Tang Xiao saw Yu Xiaogang with his hands behind his back, supervising Tang San and the other three as they ran with weights.
Yu Xiaogang probably sensed someone behind him, turned around, and saw Flander with Tang Xiao.
"Flander, who is this?" Yu Xiaogang said, looking at Tang Xiao, who seemed somewhat familiar.
"Xiao Gang, this is Tang San's relative, from the Haotian Sect," Flander introduced.
Just then, Tang San and his companions, each carrying a basket on their backs, passed by Tang Xiao and his group.
"Dean Flander, is this Yu Xiaogang? Is this all the Shrek Academy has? Is this how you train?" Tang Xiao said calmly, his thoughts unknown.
"If that's the case, no matter what Tang San says, I have to bring him back to the Clear Sky Sect," Tang Xiao continued.
"As for the students, there are indeed only four. Of course, the training is not limited to just these. Tonight, we will go to the Soto City Grand Arena to compete and gain practical experience," Dean Flander said somewhat awkwardly.
"May I ask who you are to Tang San, and what your relationship is to Tang Hao?" Yu Xiaogang said somewhat displeased when he saw someone questioning the training plan he had drafted.
"Tang San's uncle, Tang Hao's elder brother, Tang Xiao, and as for you, Yu Xiaogang, I know you are the eldest son of Yu Yuanzhen, the chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"But I'm sorry, Tang San has something to attend to and cannot waste his talent here. I need him to be taken back to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge his ancestors."
Tang Xiao looked at Yu Xiaogang and said calmly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"So it's the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, Xiaotian Douluo. However, Clear Sky Douluo has already allowed me to teach Xiao San, and I am now Xiao San's only teacher." Yu Xiaogang said calmly, invoking Tang Hao's name.
"What Hao-di has to do with me is what I have to do with you. I didn't originally plan to bring Xiao-san back with me before I came here, but when I came to Shrek Academy and saw you, I changed my mind."
"Moreover, Brother Hao is currently at the Clear Sky Sect and specifically instructed me, 'With your strength, if the Spirit Hall finds out Tang San's identity, do you think you can protect him?'"
Tang Xiao released a trace of his aura to put pressure on Yu Xiaogang.
“You…” Yu Xiaogang was furious.
"Alright, you two, why don't we ask Tang San for his opinion?" Dean Flander quickly stepped forward to persuade them, seeing that the atmosphere was tense.
The scene fell silent for a moment, but fortunately, Tang San and his companions returned after running around for a short while, so the silence didn't last long.
"Stop, Xiao San, come here for a second." Yu Xiaogang called out to the four of them.
Tang San ran over in small steps and stood in front of Yu Xiaogang. His eyes swept over everyone calmly, but deep within Tang San's calm gaze lay hatred.
"Teacher, is there something you need?" Tang San's intuition told him that it was related to this mysterious person who had suddenly arrived, and Tang San felt that the person looked somewhat familiar.
"Tang San, you may not know me, but they can't hear what I'm about to say, so please come with me for a moment."
Tang Xiao got straight to the point, calling out to Tang San to come with him, and then Tang Xiao led the way.
Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang and Flander, then followed Tang Xiao. Because Tang San felt a sense of kinship with this person, he didn't suspect anything.
The two walked several hundred meters until they came to a tree.
"Hello, Tang San, nice to meet you. I am your father's older brother, your uncle, Tang Xiao. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at this."
After Tang Xiao stopped, he spoke to Tang San and summoned his spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, to show Tang San.
Tang San was shocked because it was exactly the same as his own hammer spirit. In fact, Tang San had been cultivating for so many years and had long known that his spirit might be the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit on the continent.
"This is the Haotian Hammer," Tang San exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right, it’s the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect. Your father was also a member of the Clear Sky Sect, and your Clear Sky Hammer is inherited from him.” Tang Xiao retracted his Clear Sky Hammer and introduced it to Tang San.
"So you really are my uncle? But what brings you here this time?" Tang San asked curiously.
"More than ten years ago, your father temporarily left the Haotian Sect for some reasons. Recently, your father has returned to the Haotian Sect and asked me to come see you and even protect you. However, after seeing the academy where you are, I changed my mind. I want to take you back to the Haotian Sect for special training now, but your teacher disagrees."
Tang Xiao briefly explained the situation to Tang San, as well as what had just happened.
"But I haven't added any spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. What use would it be if I went back to the Clear Sky Sect? Besides, my teacher has been very good to me, guiding me in cultivating my spirit power. I need to participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament in two years to live up to my teacher's expectations," Tang San said calmly.
"No, you'll be right under the Spirit Hall's nose. If they discover your identity, you're dead." Tang Xiao immediately interrupted Tang San, disagreeing with letting Tang San participate in the Continental Elite Tournament.
"Why is that? My father wouldn't let me reveal the Clear Sky Hammer in front of the Spirit Hall and others, and now you won't let me reveal it either," Tang San asked, puzzled, though he already had a vague answer in his mind.
"Let me put it this way, your father left the Clear Sky Sect back then because of the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall is our Clear Sky Sect's greatest enemy, but the Spirit Hall is too strong. So strong that more than ten years ago, our Clear Sky Sect could only retreat in the face of the Spirit Hall."
“And now they are your greatest enemies, including the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.” Tang Xiao said with great hatred.
"Uncle, just tell me straight. What happened to my dad? A few days ago, I saw the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer in the Star Dou Forest. It was a bit far away at the time, but after returning to Shrek Academy, I remembered that it was the true form of the Clear Sky Hammer, not some kind of Mighty Hammer at all." Tang San suddenly said to Tang Xiao.
“Okay, that’s right, that was your father’s true spirit form. However, he was severely injured by the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall and even lost an arm. By the time he returned to the Clear Sky Sect, it was too late to save him. After briefly explaining some things to me, he…” Tang Xiao couldn’t continue and paused for a moment.
"Then we'll put Tang Hao's ashes in the ancestral hall, and then I'll come out to find you. We'll talk about the details when we get back to the Clear Sky Sect. You're just wasting your time at Shrek Academy. You must return to the Clear Sky Sect to learn the Clear Sky Hammer's ultimate techniques and undergo special training in order to grow quickly."
Tang Xiao broke his promise to Blue Silver Emperor and directly told Tang San about Tang Hao's death.
"The Spirit Hall, and the so-called Holy Son of the Spirit Hall." Tang San clenched his fist, his fingers digging deep into his palm, his eyes instantly turning red, radiating boundless hatred.
"Uncle, I understand. I will go back with you. However, I will still participate in the Continental Elite Tournament for the next two years. I think the Spirit Hall will not attack the contestants during the tournament, otherwise the reputation that the Spirit Hall has built up over the years will be ruined." Tang San calmed himself down and decided to continue participating in the Elite Tournament.
"Let's see in two years, it all depends on your strength." Tang Xiao only tried to comfort Tang San, because returning to the Haotian Sect was the priority now.
"Uncle, then I'll say goodbye to my teacher."
"Go."
When Tang San emerged from the woods, he had returned to normal and went straight to Yu Xiaogang.
“Teacher, I have a compelling reason to return to the Haotian Sect. I understand your teachings. I will come to find you at the All-Continent Elite Tournament in two years.”
"Xiao San, alright then. Just come to Tian Dou City in the Tian Dou Empire in two years." Yu Xiaogang said helplessly, looking at Tang San's unwavering gaze.
"Teacher, Dean, Teacher Zhao, I'll take my leave now." Tang San bowed deeply to the three of them in farewell.
Tang San then followed Tang Xiao all the way back to the Haotian Sect.
From then on, Shrek was completely back to where it all started.
Chapter 120 A Triumphant Return
Seven days later in the Star Dou Forest, Duan Yufan and his group found the last ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, which was Xie Yue's sixth soul ring.
"Hey, the journey to acquire the sixth spirit ring is finally over." Xie Yue stood up and said with emotion after absorbing the ten-thousand-year black spirit ring.
Xie Yue and Yan's sixth soul rings have both reached the 50,000-year level, but their soul power level is still a little short of level 62.
"That's right, this trip was worthwhile. Everyone's strength has improved significantly, and everyone has obtained a soul ring that they are satisfied with," Duan Yufan said with a smile.
"Sigh! Don't talk about strength anymore. The gap between us is beyond words. It hurts our feelings." Xie Yue's joy at seeing Duan Yu Fan absorb the 50,000-year soul ring had vanished.
"You and Nana have gained a lot, especially you, who got two 100,000-year soul rings on this trip. My current state of mind is beyond even being called jealous. Anyway, I'm numb to you now." Yan also looked at Duan Yufan listlessly.
"Don't doubt yourselves. You're already unbeatable among your peers, okay? It's just that I'm a bit special to you," Duan Yufan encouraged the two.
"Alright, you three, stop joking around. Go back to the Spirit Hall and get used to the latest spirit skills and spirit power," Hu Liena urged helplessly, seeing the three of them continuing their endless chatter.
"Let's go, elders. Please clear the way, we're all terrible with directions," Duan Yufan said to the two Douluo, Ju Gui.
"Yes, Holy Son."
“However, Holy Son, didn’t you obtain a flight-assisting soul skill? Why not take this opportunity to try it out?” Chrysanthemum Douluo suggested.
"That makes sense! Eighth Soul Skill, Wings of Holiness."
With the help of Chrysanthemum Douluo, Duan Yufan gave the group a pair of pure white wings. These wings were not physical, but rather formed from soul power, hence their slightly transparent appearance.
After being given the Wings of Holy Light, the group rose to the height of a large tree, about fifty meters.
"Go in that direction." Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were in front. Chrysanthemum Douluo said after determining the direction. Don't expect Ghost Douluo to speak unless Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't know either.
"Wow, that's fast! Slow down, this is my first time flying." Xie Yue said, swaying and trying to adjust his balance.
"This is awesome! If all goes well, we'll be out of Star Dou Forest in an hour and at Martial Soul City in two hours," Yan said loudly.
"Xie Yue, don't move around. Learn from Zhu Zhuqing, she flies so well." Duan Yufan said helplessly, not knowing whether Xie Yue really couldn't fly or was pretending.
Duan Yufan and Hu Liena naturally flew side by side, holding hands.
"Alright, alright, that's enough. The air in the sky is truly extraordinary," Xie Yue said after regaining her balance.
The group maintained a speed of 30 meters per second, leaping over treetop after treetop, with the whistling of the wind filling their ears.
The group flew for less than four hours before finally seeing the magnificent Martial Soul City, saving more than half the time. Along the way, people who saw Duan Yufan and his companions' flying speed were all amazed.
"Holy Son, let's go down. Without a special reason, flying in Wuhun City would be impolite and disrespectful to His Holiness the Pope and the High Priest," Chrysanthemum Douluo reminded Duan Yufan as they approached the south gate of Wuhun City.
"Well, let's go down."
About twenty meters from the south gate of Wuhun City, Duan Yufan and his group landed and then walked to the south gate of Wuhun City.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Elders, and Holy Maiden." The guards at the south gate of Wuhun City immediately bowed to Duan Yufan and his companions.
As the leaders of the Punishment Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were always in the public eye, following Bibi Dong. Therefore, the soldiers in Wuhun City basically knew them.
"Okay, get up and do your job well," Duan Yufan said with a friendly smile.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After walking for several tens of minutes to reach the square, Xie Yue and Yan, along with Zhu Zhuqing and Duan Yufan, parted ways and returned to the Martial Soul Academy to adapt to and practice their soul skills at the Mimicry Training Ground.
"Don't push yourself so hard. Take a good rest for a day. You can't catch up with me anyway," Duan Yufan said as he parted ways with the three of them.
"Get lost." Xie Yue and Yan turned and left without looking back.
"Your Highness, Elders, and Holy Maiden," the guards of the Spirit Hall greeted them with a bow.
"Ah."
It was almost 6 PM when we returned to the Spirit Hall, just as the sun was about to set.
"Sigh! Xiao Fan and Nana aren't here, it's really a bit boring, I'm not used to it. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo isn't here, I wonder how they are doing."
Bibi Dong sat in her seat in the Papal Palace, sometimes resting her chin on her hand, sometimes propping her head up above her ear with her hand, lost in thought.
"However, even though I have already mastered accepting the power of Rakshasa, why do I still miss Xiao Fan's purification a little, especially that feeling that cannot be described in words?"
Bibi Dong sat alone in her seat, secretly questioning the meaning of life.
"Yo, you're finally back."
As Hu Liena and the others entered the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong sensed a very familiar aura and sat up straight.
Not long after, the doors of the Papal Palace were pushed open, and the voices of two disciples echoed through the palace.
