Tang Hao's original plan was to feign alcoholism and decadence, appearing drunk and disoriented all day long.
On the surface, he would weaken and dispel his son's vigilance, while secretly observing him.
He wanted to see what this kid was really like, how abnormal he was, and whether he could be used for his own or the Sect's benefit.
He also intended to secretly learn Tang San's miraculous self-created Spirit Abilities.
With his Super Douluo-level mental force, a top-grade 70,000-year mental force-condensed head Spirit Bone, and his years of experience as an actor, it would be impossible for anyone, no matter how cunning, to easily see through him.
This way, even if he discovered danger, he could calmly deal with it.
After confirming there was no danger, he could play the sympathy card and rebuild their relationship.
He had even prepared a reason for his decadence in advance: his deceased wife.
But what Hao Zi never expected was that Tang San's self-created Spirit Abilities couldn't be understood just by observing from the outside.
For some reason, Tang San seemed very afraid of others stealing his techniques.
He never spoke about his Cultivation, nor did he write it down.
Even when crafting Hidden Weapons, he built different parts in batches, mixing useful ones with useless ones, correct ones with incorrect ones.
After assembling them into finished products, they even had a self-destruct Function to prevent disassembly.
It seemed like all he did was bask in the sun in the morning and jump around in place in the afternoon, but with persistent effort, his mental force became stronger, and his speed and reaction time also improved.
After ten years of tireless surveillance and spying, the few gains he made were only a few simple Hidden Weapons, such as Sleeve Arrows.
He didn't even learn the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
As one of the three great Divine Craftsman of the era, this made Tang Hao feel somewhat defeated.
And what shocked and disbelieved Hao Zi even more was that Tang San could discover and accurately locate his presence.
He knew his son was cunning, but even geniuses should follow some basic principles, right?
A twelve-year-old Spirit Elder, even if his mental force was indeed stronger than other Spirit Masters of the same rank due to Cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye,
he was still far from a Spirit Saint, let alone a Super Douluo with a 100,000-year spirit ring and a top-grade head Spirit Bone.
To be able to accurately sense his position without him noticing at all, there must be other reasons behind it.
Almost subconsciously, Tang Hao began to think that his son had been pretending all these years, that he had long discovered his true strength, but had been acting as if he hadn't.
He thought he was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind him,
but in reality, the other party was playing dumb, using the act of 'pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger' to trick a free bodyguard and a free thug.
However, when he thought of the tragic state of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Spirit,
Hao Zi immediately dismissed this illogical idea.
His son could sense that something was indeed abnormal about him, but it still couldn't change the fact that he was an idiot.
This wasn't just killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own,
but the enemy was completely unscathed, while he had lost over ten thousand, seriously injured and crippled to the point of almost dying.
To stab yourself in the heart and then ask the opponent if they were afraid,
if a scheme reached this level...
He would admit defeat on the spot, willingly offer his knees, and shout "Awesome, 666."
After countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant,
Tang Hao decisively stopped being pretentious and doubting, and directly agreed:
"Okay, tell me, what do you want?"
Since it was a transaction, there would naturally be giving and taking.
Bing Qing Yu Jie clenched his fist in his sleeve upon hearing this.
He agreed so readily, without the slightest hesitation,
Indeed, the other party had been coveting his Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tang Sect Martial Arts, if not for the Feixian Token reminding him...
He might have been poisoned at some point.
Preventing Tang Hao from impulsively resorting to desperate measures one day was also an important reason for initiating this transaction.
After all, there was only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against one,
Being monitored by such a strong person made it difficult to sleep soundly at night.
However, knowing that he couldn't afford to offend a Super Douluo at the moment, Tang San didn't show any unusual expression on his face,
and also pretended to agree readily:
"First, I need you to teach me how to Cultivation and use the Clear Sky Hammer, without any reservations.
Each of the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes corresponds to a special Hidden Weapon, the first of which is the Godly Zhuge Crossbow,
Learning the Ring Explosion secret technique and its accompanying abilities will grant me Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Second, I want you to protect me until I break through to Titled Douluo, and help me hunt spirit rings.
When that happens, I will naturally offer Controlling Crane Catching Dragon.
Third, after coming to Blue Tyrant Academy, I accidentally learned something.
Kaiyuan Sect has a divine medicine that can greatly enhance physical fitness, but it requires a Spirit Bone to exchange for it.
I hope you can find a Spirit Bone of 50,000 years or more to exchange for the divine medicine at Kaiyuan Academy.
As long as I get the divine medicine, I will immediately pass on the most valuable spirit power Cultivation secret technique to you first.
And fourth,
I want to know how those people at Kaiyuan Academy Cultivation specifically.
They have recruited so many students, without rejecting even the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?
This corresponds to Purple Demon Eye, which is second only to Mysterious Heaven Skill in importance.
As for the remaining Mysterious Jade Hand, it's not particularly important, so I'll keep it for future needs, what do you think?"
Listening to his son negotiating terms with him one by one, acting completely businesslike,
for some reason, Tang Hao suddenly felt a pang of pain and tenderness in his heart.
Had he ever seriously fulfilled his responsibilities as a father?
But soon, he suppressed all these sentimental thoughts.
With San Zi's selfish and extreme nature, if he acted emotionally, the other party would treat him as a cheap advantage to take, and in the end, they would still turn against each other and gain nothing.
Since the pretense had already been broken, it was better to simply and directly get what they each needed.
Tang Hao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"Very fair, but I have a question, how did you discover me? And when did you start discovering me?"
"This doesn't seem to be related to the transaction, does it?"
Tang San's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp.
Of course, he knew that exposing Hao Zi would arouse the other party's suspicion,
but the situation had left him with no choice.
The Ultimate Time for the first stage of the Flying Immortal Trial was only one year, and facing such a powerful opponent, there was no room for hesitation.
And in the face of becoming a god, any danger, any price was worth it.
Tang Hao stared at his son for a moment, and seeing that he never flinched, he suddenly laughed,
"Alright, wait for my news."
After seeing off his so-called father and confirming that the other party was no longer monitoring him with the Feixian Token,
Tang San quietly came to Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
He was preparing to Cultivation his Second Martial Soul, but he hadn't obtained the Twin Spirits Cultivation secret technique yet.
In the middle of the night, Gang Zi was already sound asleep,
in his dream, his disciple was kneeling at his feet, kowtowing and begging him for forgiveness, vowing that he would obey him in everything and never dare to disobey him in the slightest.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong chill, and for a moment, it felt as if his heart was about to explode.
Opening his eyes,
Tang San held the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand and the Blue Silver Grass in his right, his figure in the darkness looked like a terrifying demon.
