This disciple had no real flaws apart from being too impulsive and overly attached to Xiao Wu.
As for being skilled at ambushes with hidden weapons, ruthless by nature, and vengeful to the extreme—Yu Xiaogang considered these virtues. In his view, without cruelty, one couldn't stand firm.
In a world where strength reigned supreme, being naive and overly trusting would only lead to one's demise.
Now, it was time to go meet his father.
The matter concerning his nephew had caused too great an impact.
This situation had to be handled with the utmost caution.
Originally, Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect were meant to become powerful allies for their family. But now, there was a possibility they might turn into enemies instead.
He could only hope his father would remain calm!
Tang San nodded and turned to walk toward the resting area.
As he reflected on the recent Soul Duel, he realized a flaw in his Blue Silver Grass Spirit—it lacked a powerful offensive skill.
If not for the Deadly Poison from the Man-faced Demon Spider, he would never have been able to defeat Yu Tianheng.
His Clear Sky Hammer Spirit wasn't ready for Spirit Rings yet, and the secret of his Twin Soul Spirits absolutely could not be exposed.
Now that he knew his father's identity, he had already guessed the reason behind his father's seclusion.
Tang San's expression darkened. If his Twin Soul Spirits talent were ever exposed, the Spirit Hall would undoubtedly come after him with brutal force.
And right now, as only a Soul Expert, he was still far too weak.
Using the Clear Sky Hammer during his spar with Zhao Wuji had been reckless.
But he trusted the other six monsters. Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Zhu Family, and the Dai Family all had good relations with the Clear Sky Sect—they wouldn't spread the news of his Twin Soul Spirits.
Still, he wouldn't be able to use the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit for a long time.
Though the Blue Silver Grass Spirit was the core of their team, he remained somewhat dissatisfied. After all, his future enemies were the Spirit Hall.
Tang San's thoughts returned to those eight Spider Legs.
If he had those eight razor-sharp Spider Legs, even against defensive Soul Masters like Shi Mo and Shi Mo, he would have an offensive method.
A pang of regret struck him once more.
"Those eight Spider Legs were External Soul Bones. Aside from their incredible hardness, their appearance was strikingly similar to the Blue Silver Grass.
Even if I used them, others would just assume it was a mutated attack form of the Blue Silver Grass!"
Tang San's eyes grew brighter.
The appearance of the Spider Leg External Soul Bone on him couldn't have been a coincidence—the Spider Legs truly did resemble the Blue Silver Grass.
Moreover, External Soul Bones only manifested when a Spirit Beast and a Soul Master shared an exceptionally high compatibility.
His teacher had also mentioned that he had remarkable synergy with spider-type Spirits.
Tang San made up his mind—for his fourth Spirit Ring, he would once again attempt to absorb a Man-faced Demon Spider beyond his level.
"I must obtain an External Soul Bone."
A fire ignited in Tang San's eyes. Only with an External Soul Bone could his Blue Silver Grass Spirit gain a powerful offensive skill.
Only then could he rely on the Blue Silver Grass Spirit to step into the ranks of true powerhouses.
As he continued pondering his future path of cultivation, his mood lightened considerably.
Meanwhile...
Under the guidance of a staff member, Flender entered a settlement room.
He was puzzled. Did the Great Soul Arena want to establish a long-term partnership with them?
They had explicitly stated that only he could come.
He knew many powerful teams maintained connections with the Great Soul Arena—colluding to rig matches and participate in gambling duels.
Strictly speaking, their Soul Duel this time was an additional arrangement by the Great Soul Arena, which undoubtedly involved massive gambling stakes behind the scenes.
A glint flashed in Flender's eyes.
Whatever. As long as he got his share.
He strode in calmly.
To Flender's surprise, nothing unusual happened.
He quickly received the earnings from the Soul Duel.
Only, he now held an additional gold card in his hand.
Flender's expression darkened—it was the Dugu Family's money again.
This time, it was even more: two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
The staff member gave no explanation, merely stating lightly that it was the Young Master Dugu's instruction. Along with his normal earnings, they handed him an extra gold card.
Holding the gold card, Flender felt its weight keenly.
Why did this money feel so... hot to handle?
Gritting his teeth again, Flender steeled himself. What was there to fear? Who would refuse money?
After steadying his emotions, he finally left the settlement room.
Tang Hao and Tang San had reunited earlier than expected—what would happen next?
Dugu Feng was very curious.
With Flender in play, Dugu Feng could ensure Tang San's development didn't deviate from his predictions.
Currently, the Dugu Family was somewhat weak compared to any major faction, so it was best to remain hidden and develop in the shadows.
While they grew, the fiercer the conflicts between the Upper Three Sects and the Spirit Hall, the better.
Last time, when Tang Hao and Bibi Dong clashed, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had refused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's invitation to jointly declare their stance.
Now that Tang San had killed Yu Tianheng, it was entirely possible the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family might lean toward the Spirit Hall.
Things were getting more and more interesting!
Dugu Feng chuckled softly.
He was eager to see the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's reaction. Would Yu Yuanzhen come looking for Tang Hao?
After all, Tang Hao had openly and arrogantly mocked Yu Luomian in public.
He'd have to ask Old Snake to keep an eye on news from Suotuo City.
As for them, it was time to return to Heaven Dou City for some cultivation.
But just as they were about to depart—
Dugu Feng sensed a Core Pearl approaching him.
Upon closer inspection, it was the one inside Yan.
"Wait, Yan's destination should be the Star Dou Great Forest!
He must have gotten closer to me while traveling there. Suotuo City isn't far from the Star Dou Great Forest."
Dugu Feng grew intrigued.
During their last Soul Duel, Yan had been at the 48th Soul Power rank. It was impossible for him to break through to the 50th rank in such a short time.
Why would he be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest?
Dugu Feng focused his spiritual power entirely on the Core Pearl.
Soon, he realized Yan wasn't alone—there were many powerful auras around him.
At the very least, he sensed Hu Liena and Xie Yue.
Xie Yue's aura was noticeably stronger than Hu Liena and Yan's.
Xie Yue must have reached the Soul King realm.
Dugu Feng wasn't in a hurry to leave Suotuo City. He wanted to investigate further.
He and Old Scorpion stayed behind, while Dugu Shuo and Old Snake left with the caravan.
Half a day later, as the distance closed, the information he gleaned through the Core Pearl grew clearer.
Dugu Feng finally confirmed: Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena were heading to the Star Dou Great Forest because Hu Liena had broken through to Soul King and needed to hunt for a Spirit Ring.
Apart from the three Golden Generation members, there was also the Titled Douluo Chrysanthemum Douluo and five Soul Saint-level experts.
"Bibi Dong truly values Hu Liena. Just for absorbing a fifth Spirit Ring, she dispatched Chrysanthemum Douluo as protection!"
Dugu Feng was about to end his surveillance.
Suddenly, a useful piece of information caught his attention.
Hu Liena and the other two were discussing the upcoming Soul Master Competition.
The reward for the competition—a Soul Bone.
Needless to say, all three of them wore expressions of absolute determination.
However, Dugu Feng noticed something off in Hu Liena's tone.
Hu Liena still didn't possess a single Soul Bone at this point.
Given the close relationship between Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue, there was no way Hu Liena would lie about this.
So when did she obtain her fox-tail External Soul Bone?
