Chapter 158: Tang San's Mentality Collapsed
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing that Ye Lingling had broken through level 60.
"Congratulations, Lingling! You reached level 60 so quickly!"
"Thank you, Sister Yan. You'll be there soon too."
Ye Tianming and his wife looked at Ye Lingling with eyes full of pride.
Ye Tianming patted Long Chen on the shoulder, speaking with heartfelt gratitude:
"Xiao Chen, Lingling has achieved what she has today all thanks to your care and guidance. Let's go hunt soul beasts together to help her obtain her sixth soul ring."
Long Chen smiled faintly.
"Uncle, Aunt, there aren't many ten-thousand-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, which won't meet Lingling's current needs. I plan to take her to the Star Dou Great Forest instead.
There, soul beasts are more abundant and diverse it'll be easier to find one that suits Lingling. Besides, I'm close to breaking through level 80. Once I do, I can also find a suitable beast for my own eighth soul ring. Killing two birds with one stone."
"To think you're already on the verge of level 80… It's unbelievable."
Ye Tianming looked at Long Chen with deep relief.
Back then, when the couple adopted Long Chen, they never imagined this child would have such tremendous potential and achieve so much at such a young age.
Dugu Bo interjected:
"Xiao Chen's right. But after the incidents from before, the Star Dou Great Forest may still have spies from Spirit Hall hiding within it. Add in those greedy forces coveting the immortal herbs this trip must be taken with great caution. In my opinion, we should keep our group small to avoid attracting attention."
Ye Tianming nodded in agreement with Dugu Bo's assessment.
Though he also wanted to accompany Lingling to get her sixth soul ring, he was concerned about leaving Ye Susu, whose offensive strength was limited, alone at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Long Chen said:
"Uncle, Aunt, let Senior Dugu and me take Lingling. You two stay here."
Ye Susu nodded.
"Tianming, with Senior Dugu and Xiao Chen accompanying her, Lingling will be just fine."
Dugu Bo chuckled.
"Don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I'll make sure they're safe."
"With Senior Dugu there, we can rest assured."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to help watch over Yanyan and the herbs here."
"Senior, you're being too polite. We should be the ones thanking you."
With that, Ye Tianming and his wife felt at ease, entrusting Ye Lingling to Long Chen and Dugu Bo for the soul ring hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest.
One year ago, the three had gone together to the Star Dou Great Forest for Long Chen's seventh soul ring. Although there were setbacks, they ultimately returned safely and gained a tremendous reward: a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
The next day, Long Chen, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Bo departed for the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ye Tianming, Ye Susu, and Dugu Yan remained at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest.
The destruction of the Strength Clan was a devastating blow to Tang Hao.
Though expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, he still carried the bloodline of the Tang family and wanted to see the sect rise again in his own way.
But he couldn't do it alone he needed help.
Among the former subsidiary clans of the Clear Sky Sect Defense Clan, Speed Clan, and Strength Clan the Strength Clan had been the most loyal to him.
Even after being implicated by him and hunted by Spirit Hall, they forgave Tang San and accepted him as their young master.
To earn the loyalty of a subsidiary clan was no small matter, and yet they were exterminated.
Tang Hao discovered that although Spirit Hall executed the massacre, Long Chen had played a key role.
He swore to avenge the Strength Clan.
This past year, Tang San had been training in Slaughter City.
Though spirit skills were restricted there, Tang San relied on Tang Sect's hidden weapons and the powerful self-healing ability from his right leg spirit bone to secure victory after victory in the Hell Slaughter Field.
Thanks to Tang Hao's support, Tang San reached one hundred wins and earned the right to walk the Hell Road.
He did not disappoint. He emerged victorious, even killing a Ten-Headed Blaze Sun Snake and obtaining its inner core during the trial.
After countless life-and-death battles, Tang San eventually woke up at the foot of a mountain.
Feeling the transformation in his body, excitement surged in his heart.
After a year of forging himself in slaughter, he had become a new-generation God of Slaughter, possessing the Slaughter Domain.
"That year in Slaughter City was lonely and bitter, but it was all worth it. I've grown stronger again!"
Tang San clenched his fists with joy.
Just as he stood, a familiar figure approached.
"Dad, you're here!"
"Xiao San, you didn't let me down. You got out of Slaughter City in just a year."
Sensing the changes in his son, Tang Hao was very pleased.
"Xiao San, you just came out of the Slaughter City. The murderous aura on you is too overwhelming it's not good. We'll go to the soul beast forest to get your fifth ring, then find a place to cleanse the killing intent from your body."
"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
"In the two years since the Soul Master Tournament, you've been cultivating in secret. Many things have happened. You should know."
As they headed south, father and son spoke along the way.
Tang Hao's tone turned serious:
"Xiao San, you haven't asked, but I know you've been thinking about Xiao Wu wondering where she went, right?"
Tang San didn't deny it and asked anxiously:
"Dad, do you know where Xiao Wu is?"
"Yes. She's in the Star Dou Great Forest. But something happened there a year ago. I'm not sure if she's still there."
Hearing this, Tang San's heart tightened.
"What happened, Dad? What happened to Xiao Wu?"
"Spirit Hall found her."
"What?!"
Tang San's face turned pale, heart racing.
Tang Hao quickly put a hand on his son's shoulder to comfort him:
"Don't panic, Xiao San. She was protected by two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, so she should still be safe. However… one of them was killed by Long Chen and became his seventh soul ring."
"What?!"
Tang San's mind went blank.
Two years ago, at the Soul Master Tournament, he was humiliated by Long Chen. In the years since, he had buried the pain in his heart, training bitterly, refining his Clear Sky Hammer techniques, conquering the Hell Road, and becoming a God of Slaughter.
He had even fused with a hundred-thousand-year right leg soul bone.
Compared to two years ago, his strength had soared, becoming unrecognizable.
He once thought he could finally face Long Chen without fear.
But now… Long Chen had already broken through level 70 and obtained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as his seventh ring.
Bibi Dong, the current Pope, and his father Tang Hao only they possessed hundred-thousand-year rings.
And Long Chen, only seventeen or eighteen years old, had already achieved this.
He was decades ahead.
It was… monstrous.
