Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect

Although Tang San is a child, he is still the young master of the Haotian Sect and the son of Haotian Douluo. He has long understood some truths. To become a top-level strongman, only a top-level martial spirit is not enough.

There was one thing Tang San hadn't said explicitly, and that was his second spirit, which hadn't changed at all. If he continued to have the sect masters help him hunt spirits, his second spirit would probably remain the same even after he became a Titled Douluo.

His second martial soul needs to blossom in the midst of slaughter, requiring that kind of thrilling fight, rather than hunting soul beasts under protection.

Tang San put away the Clear Sky Hammer spirit and said seriously: "Heroes in the world are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. Those who can walk out of the storm never rely on umbrellas."

"Hahaha, good, what a great line! Heroes in the world are as numerous as carp crossing the river. You are worthy of being my son, to have such awareness, very good." Tang Hao laughed and walked out of the gate with big strides.

"Your Majesty Haotian."

"Owner."

Tang Hao placed his big hand on Tang San's head and said, "You've grown taller."

Seeing Tang Hao appear, Tang San said in surprise: "Dad! You've come out of seclusion?"

Tang Hao nodded, then said, "Well, I was worried that it would be too early to bring you into the Slaughter City, and that it would affect your character. It seems I was worrying too much."

"When you come back after hunting the second soul ring, I will take you to the Slaughter City."

Chapter 8 We Are a Reputable and Upright Sect

Hearing that Tang Hao was going to take Tang San to the City of Slaughter, everyone present was dumbfounded.

They had all heard about what kind of hell the Killing City was. It was a paradise of decadence where all soul master skills could not be used and people could only survive by relying on instinct and their own strength. It was a lawless place without any rules.

Is it reasonable to bring a child in his early teens to such a place?

Bai He's face darkened, and he swung the wooden stick towards Tang Hao's head. A sharp bang stunned Tang Hao. Of course, Bai He couldn't hurt Tang Hao with his strength, not to mention he wasn't using any spirit power, but the sudden blow left Tang Hao stunned.

Tang Hao touched the spot where he was hit and said, "Uncle?"

Bai He snorted coldly and said, "Humph. If you want to die, I can't do anything about it. I won't let my grandson go to that damn place at such a young age. He should at least be 50, no, 60, level and have the ability to protect himself before he can go."

As Tang Hao's uncle, Bai He naturally knew that Tang San possessed twin martial spirits. He was just worried that a ten-year-old child would go to such a place. If he went astray and turned into a murderer, wouldn't that be the end of him?

The City of Slaughter is where the scum of the spirit world gathers, where all the wanted people gather together. How can a child go there!

Tang Hao would not blame his uncle, and said kindly: "Uncle, I am only taking him to the Slaughter City to awaken Xiao San's second martial soul. I will not let him stay in the Slaughter City for too long. Once he awakens his second martial soul, I will take him away immediately."

"Huh? Are you sure you can take Xiao San away from the Slaughter City?" Bai He was slightly surprised. As a Soul Douluo-level warrior, he naturally knew about the Slaughter City. This place was known as the Soul Master Prison, so one definitely could not get out freely and had to go through the Road of Hell to get out.

He originally thought that Tang Hao threw Tang San in to awaken his second martial soul and rely on his own strength to get out, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Tang Hao smiled and said, "Uncle, Xiao San is my son. How could I let him stay in a place like that for long? I know what the Slaughter City is like better than you do."

"But uncle, don't forget, I have the Killing God Domain. The rule that you can't use your martial spirit in the Killing City is invalid in the Killing God Domain."

Although Tang Hao said this with a smile, everyone present could hear a hint of threat in that smile.

Titan said, "No wonder you've been in seclusion these past few years, Master. Do you want to conquer the City of Slaughter?!"

Hearing Titan's words, the eyes of the four vassal families lit up. If the Killing City, which even the Spirit Hall didn't dare to control, was under their control, then they would be more powerful than the Spirit Hall!

Tang Hao smiled awkwardly, smoothed his messy hair, and said, "That damn place isn't too easy to mess with right now. It would be our best bet if we can pull Xiao San out after he goes in."

Tang Hao did not underestimate himself. After all, the City of Slaughter had existed for too long. In addition to the ninety-nine-level King of Slaughter, there were at least several Titled Douluo-level law enforcers in the City of Slaughter. Moreover, Tang Hao was not the only God of Slaughter. There were others before him who had walked the Road of Hell and obtained the Domain of the God of Slaughter.

These gods of killing have disappeared on the surface and may even be dead, but there is no guarantee that there will not be gods of killing who choose to stay in the City of Killing or even join the City of Killing.

Otherwise, Tang Hao alone would be able to forcibly take Tang San away without the help of the sect.

Everyone else looked regretful, but Tang San was the only one who understood the hidden meaning behind his father's words. He thought to himself, "[Now]? It seems like Father has thought about conquering the Slaughter City."

Just as Tang San was thinking about something, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

With a click, the door was pushed open and an old man in his seventies walked in holding an account book.

The old shopkeeper Feng Hong is considered an old employee of the Haotian Sect. Although he is not a soul master, he has been working in the Haotian Auction House since he was a child. Now he is not only the shopkeeper of the auction house, but also responsible for helping Tang San manage the auction house and the fighting spirit arena.

Feng Hong saw Tang Hao was also there, and he quickly knelt down and bowed respectfully, saying, "I pay my respects to His Majesty Haotian."

This is not really Feng Hong making a fuss. For Feng Hong, who is not even a soul master, the title of Douluo is like an emperor. Ordinary people cannot even call him Douluo directly, and need to add the word "Your Majesty".

Tang Hao nodded and said, "Feng Hong, although you are not a spirit master, you are also an old employee of my Haotian Sect. You don't need to be polite when you see me in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang Hao and his companions were also very tactful. They didn't say much and sat aside drinking tea. Now that the auction house and the fighting arena were under the management of Tang San, even Tang Hao theoretically had no power to interfere.

After four years of management, Tang San gradually got the hang of it. He returned to the main seat and asked, "Manager Feng, is there anything I can do for you?"

Feng Hong hurriedly walked to the desk, placed several account books on the table, and whispered, "Third Young Master, these are the accounts for this month's auction and fighting arena, and this is the auction item catalog for the monthly auction in three days."

Tang San took over the account book of the auction items and took a look at the monthly turnover. Tang San had long since gone from being shocked to being numb. In Douluo Continent, one gold coin is equal to 10 silver soul coins = 100 bronze soul coins, and one gold soul coin can support the expenses of a poor family for several months.

The Haotian Fighting Soul Arena alone earns tens of thousands of gold coins every month. Even though a portion of this money needs to be handed over to the Haotian Sect as the sect's financial reserve, after four years, Tang San's assets have accumulated to a terrifying level.

"Shopkeeper Feng, can we negotiate for those special materials?" Tang San asked while looking at the auction items.

Feng Hong naturally knew what Tang San was asking. Some time ago, several soul masters brought some strange ores to him for auction. After Tang San found out, he immediately asked him to contact the people who sent the auctions, hoping to buy them directly.

Feng Hong said with some embarrassment: "Those soul masters asked for 50,000 gold coins. I don't think it would be that high even if they put it up for auction."

Tang San interrupted Feng Hong before he finished speaking, and without even raising his head, he ordered: "It doesn't matter, give them 50,000 gold coins."

Tang San took out a note, signed his name and wrote the amount on it, and handed it to Feng Hong. He said nonchalantly, "Go to Haotian Gold and get 50,000 gold coins. The ores are worth that price."

"Uncle, you should come with me just in case. Remember, the gold coins are not important. The most important thing is the ores. I will be very useful to them."

Bai He of the Min clan's eyes narrowed. Others might not understand it very well, but they, the Min clan, knew very well that the ten-year-old boy in front of them had been tinkering with something called hidden weapons. These hidden weapons were made of special metals and had considerable power.

"Xiao San, do you need it?" Bai He made a gesture of wiping his neck, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Their Min clan was famous for their speed and did scout and assassination work in the Haotian Sect.

Tang San smiled and shook his head, saying, "Uncle, our Haotian Sect is a famous and upright sect."

"What if they raise the price or go back on their word?"

"Then do it cleanly."

Chapter 9 Immortality

Are you kidding? As the young master of the Haotian Sect, Tang San didn't even bargain for the agreed price of 50,000 gold coins. If he dares to raise the price and go back on his word, does he really think that the Haotian Sect is a soft persimmon and a turtle sect?

Tang Hao just smiled slightly when he heard this. In this world where soul beasts are rampant and a powerful soul master can defeat a million-strong army, if he shows too much mercy, he will probably be eaten to the bone.

Feng Hong swallowed, took the bill and ran to Haotian Gold to withdraw money to complete the transaction. As for Bai He, he naturally hid in the dark and followed. If the transaction went smoothly, he would stay hidden and would not need to show up.

"It seems that you are planning to set out to hunt for the second spirit ring in the next few days." Tang Hao also saw that his son was ready to hunt for the second spirit ring, so he did not wait for the auction to start in three days, but directly purchased the special ore he needed.

Tang San didn't hide it and nodded, "Those ores are enough for me to forge a self-defense hidden weapon. Even if I face a small thousand-year soul beast, I can retreat unscathed. Don't worry, Dad. I won't recklessly enter a dangerous area."

Tang Hao didn't object to anything, although he was also worried, but his son always needed experience. In the world of Douluo Continent, those who awakened their martial spirits and began to practice at the age of six were considered to be relatively precocious.

"By the way, have you decided where to hunt for your second spirit ring? Have you chosen a spirit beast?"

Tang San's second martial soul has not yet awakened, which means that he can only attach his soul to the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer is a strong attack martial soul, and its main feature is its powerful attack power, which can break all methods with one force.

The ratio of soul rings and the compatibility with martial souls are crucial. In addition to bringing a soul ring skill, each soul ring will also have additional passive enhancements to the martial soul.

Just like Tang Hao, even if he doesn't use soul power or soul skills, he just uses the Clear Sky Hammer to smash down and it will be like splitting rocks and opening mountains, because Tang Hao's soul rings will additionally enhance Tang Hao's physique and the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer.

This means that Tang Hao not only possesses superhuman strength, but also the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer is much heavier than that of other sect disciples who possess the Clear Sky Hammer.

But Tang Xiao is different from Tang Hao. Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer is of the enchantment type, and his Clear Sky Hammer has lightning attributes.

This is because when Tang Xiao obtained his seventh soul ring at level 70, he encountered a powerful Sky Thunder Kuiniu. Later, his eighth and ninth soul rings were both soul rings with lightning attributes, so Tang Xiao's Clear Sky Hammer was equipped with powerful lightning power.

Tang San’s first spirit ring is a 450-year-old earth-shaking yellow ox, which was hunted for him by his uncle Bai He.

The Earth-Shaking Yellow Ox has one foot, two black horns, an ox-shaped tail with flames rising from it, and scales engraved with fire veins. Its roar can cause earthquakes.

The reason why Tang San chose this soul beast was very simple. After observing through the Purple Demon Eye, he felt that the limit of what he could absorb was this 450-year-old Earth-Shaking Yellow Ox.

As for which route to take, Tang San has not yet decided. After all, he only has the second soul ring now, and a good soul beast must adapt to himself, which is simply not easy to come by.

Tang San took out a map and pointed to two places, saying, "I plan to go to Sunset Forest or Star Dou Great Forest. Both places have information on the spirit beasts I want."

Others were not surprised by this. After all, within the Tiandou Empire, there were only these two places where soul beasts were relatively docile and numerous. The others were either extremely dangerous or had few soul beasts.

Hearing that Tang San was planning to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Hao frowned and shook his head in opposition, saying, "Let's go to the Sunset Forest, not the Star Dou Great Forest."

? !

Even Titan and the others looked at Tang Hao in confusion. After all, according to them, it would be best to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, where there were many soul beasts, making it easier to find a suitable soul beast.

Tang Hao pondered for a moment, as if recalling something, and said, "This should be considered a shameful period in the Spirit Hall's history. About ten years ago, the Spirit Hall's Pope Qian Xunji reached the 90th level of Titled Douluo. He was very ambitious and wanted a 100,000-year spirit ring and hunted 100,000-year spirit beasts."

"One hundred thousand year soul ring!!"

Even Tang San knew that for a Titled Douluo, the combat power of the ninth ring at the ten thousand year level and the ninth ring at the one hundred thousand year level were completely different concepts.

Moreover, a hundred thousand year soul beast will definitely produce soul bones, and they are hundred thousand year soul bones. If one can successfully hunt a hundred thousand year soul beast, then for a Titled Douluo, he will definitely be invincible at the same level.

Tang Hao nodded and said, "That time, the Spirit Hall dispatched many elders, not only Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, but also several priests from the Worship Hall. Including Qian Xunji, there were a total of six Titled Douluo. Their target was a rabbit-shaped 100,000-year-old soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"The results of it?"

Tang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Failed."

Hiss!! All six Titled Douluo failed? ! !

"A hundred thousand year old soul beast is so powerful"

To everyone's surprise, Tang Hao shook his head and denied this statement: "You are both right and wrong. That rabbit-shaped 100,000-year soul beast has only been in cultivation for a hundred thousand years and is not very powerful. It is not enough to fight six people alone. The one who caused Qian Xunji and his men to return home in defeat was not the rabbit-shaped 100,000-year soul beast, but a human being."

"people?!"

"To be precise, it's a transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast."

Tang Hao continued, "Hundred thousand year soul beasts are quite special. At this level, soul beasts can choose to transform into humans to continue their cultivation, or they can remain soul beasts."

"A hundred thousand year old soul beast that transforms is very weak at first, but if it can survive smoothly, then the transformed soul beast will have extremely strong talents and have a better chance of impacting that ethereal realm than any other soul beast."

The physical strength of a soul beast and the cultivation speed of a soul master, transformation means having both, so the talent is naturally terrifying.

Tang San asked curiously: "Dad, has the soul beast's cultivation level already..."

Tang Hao said: "Yes, Titled Douluo."
