Chapter 279: Six Years Later II.
Only in this way could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have a chance.
But their joy was short-lived as news broke again from the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong had succeeded the Pope and was determined to re-elect the seven great sects.
This plunged Ning Fengzhi into renewed worry.
He feared the Spirit Hall would retaliate against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, just as Tang Wei of the Clear Sky Sect had been rendered nearly useless after the sect competition.
Fortunately, there was always a way out. At a crucial moment, Sword Douluo, who had been in seclusion for years, emerged, breaking through the bottleneck of level ninety-six and becoming a peak Douluo.
This finally brought a sense of comfort to Ning Fengzhi, who had lived in fear for years, and the courage to fight against the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild.
However, the good times didn't last long. One night a few months later, a horrific incident occurred in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's newly born daughter, Ning Rongrong, was kidnapped on the evening of her birthday celebration.
The culprit was none other than a VIP guest.
Although the assassin was killed on the spot by Sect Protector Douluo Yu Luomian, the man turned out to be the Spirit Hall's former Pope and personal guardian Douluo, Silver Hammer.
This caused an uproar.
After all, the death of a Titled Douluo was no small matter.
The Spirit Hall insisted that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had murdered their Silver Hammer Elder.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect repeatedly claimed self-defense.
Ultimately, mediation between the Spirit Master Guild and the two great empires led to concessions.
The Spirit Hall dropped the charge for the Silver Hammer Elder's death, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was required to pay compensation.
Besides holding Ning Rongrong hostage, they were also forced to pay a substantial sum in compensation and intermarry with the Spirit Hall. This meant that fifty of their direct disciples were to marry Spirit Hall spirit masters.
Although Ning Fengzhi was reluctant, for some reason, he ultimately agreed to the Spirit Hall's outrageous request.
Six years later.
"Swift Wind Demon Wolf, Innate Full Spirit Power."
An excited and agitated voice reached the young man's ears.
A puzzled expression crossed his face, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what kind of spirit is Swift Wind Demon Wolf? And what about Innate Full Spirit Power? Is it that powerful?"
The young man himself was the grown-up Tang San.
At this time, Tang San was already six years old.
At that age, his peers had already begun attending the Spirit Master Guild's Hope Primary School a year earlier, learning to read and write, and understanding the common sense of this world.
But Tang San didn't.
His uncle, Tang Hao, wouldn't let him go.
He often told him that the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild weren't good people, and that they taught people to read and write just to win their hearts.
Having lived two lives, Tang San had lacked love in both. Now that he finally had a relative like this, he naturally obeyed everything he said, believing that everything Tang Hao said was right.
What puzzled him was why his uncle spent every day with a she-wolf, sometimes even engaging in sexual activity with her. At first, he might have restrained himself in front of him, but later, he became completely unrestrained.
Whenever he caught him, he'd dismiss him with, "You're just a kid, don't understand. Go back to bed."
This baffled Tang San.
If that didn't work out, he could find a wife.
Although Tang San didn't know much about this world, with his blacksmithing skills, he believed that if his uncle could just break his drinking and stop being lazy, finding a wife wouldn't be difficult.
Why would he be so desperate as to choose a she-wolf almost his own age?
Did he have a special hobby?
That would be fine, after all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and in every world, there are people with deviant sexual preferences.
The key was that every time his uncle had sex with the she-wolf, her belly would soon swell.
And then, like a human, she'd carry a baby for ten months.
She gave birth to a strange creature with human appearance but wolf-like habits, and a penchant for eating raw meat and drinking blood.
As a result, the village's livestock was often bullied by his cousins.
Villagers often came to complain.
But each time, Uncle Tang Hao seemed unconcerned and protective of his child.
This only deepened Tang San's doubts.
Could it be that in this world, humans and beasts could truly be together, and could true love truly exist?
In response to Tang San's question, Su Yuntao, the Spirit Hall master responsible for awakening him, pulled out a Spirit Master Training Manual from his bosom and patiently turned to the page on the Swift Wind Demon Wolf. He explained, "The Swift Wind Demon Wolf is a beastly spirit, inherited from a spirit beast called the Swift Wind Demon Wolf. This spirit beast is lustful and enjoys raping and abducting human women. After giving birth, these women are devoured by the Swift Wind Demon Wolf. The children born by the Swift Wind Demon Wolf are collectively known as Wolf Bandits, creatures even more lustful and bloodthirsty than the Swift Wind Demon Wolf."
Tang San could no longer listen to the rest of the story.
His gaze had been drawn to the image of the Swift Wind Demon Wolf in Su Yuntao's Spirit Master Training Manual, as he had flipped it open.
It was an exact replica of the she-wolf he kept at home.
And according to Su Yuntao's description, his cousins were all evil Wolf Bandits.
Such slander of his family was simply outrageous.
At that moment, Tang San finally understood why his father had said that neither the Spirit Hall nor the Spirit Master Guild were good people.
To slander his family so utterly was simply courting death.
Thinking of this, Tang San once again looked at Su Yuntao, his gaze turning icy. He interrupted Su Yuntao and asked, "Master, who told you all this?"
"Of course, it was the 'Soul Master Training Manual,' written by the Spirit Master Guild's president, the great Ice Emperor Douluo. We should thank the Ice Emperor, after all. Without him, evil creatures like the Wolf Bandits wouldn't have vanished from the Douluo Continent."
Su Yuntao's face was filled with admiration and devotion when he mentioned Lin Hanye.
Clearly, he was one of Lin Hanye's followers.
Haha, as expected. Seeing that this book was written by the Spirit Master Guild's president, and considering Su Yuntao was a Spirit Hall member, it was no wonder his uncle would say these two groups were no good.
"Okay, little guy, your name is Tang San, right? As a genius with innate full soul power, I now formally invite you to join the Spirit Hall. If you are willing to join, you can be directly sent to Spirit City. You should know that it is a holy place in the spirit master world that is as famous as the Spirit Master Guild. Maybe there is still hope to be accepted as a disciple by a Titled Douluo Elder."
Su Yuntao formally extended the invitation to Tang San.
The result is self-evident.
Tang San refused without hesitation.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
After saying that, he didn't even ask for the spirit master certificate and walked out of the wooden house where he awakened his spirit without looking back. When faced with the questioning of Jack, the village elder of the Holy Spirit Village, he ignored him and walked anxiously towards home. He wanted to tell his uncle that he had seen through the true colors of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Master Guild, and that he had awakened two spirits.
