If Tang San were given time, he could indeed become a threat in the future. Unfortunately, Tang San could no longer grow now.
Xiao Wu beside Tang San had the Core Pearl, so everything could not escape Dugu Feng's eyes. Tang San could only become Dugu Feng's shield.
"Since Tang San's talent is so strong, I must make all Soul Masters in the world aware of this!" Old Snake solemnly agreed.
Making Tang San famous was only the first step. Dugu Feng did not say what to do next; he wanted to see the Clear Sky Sect's actions.
If his prediction was correct, Tang Hao would soon take action.
At Hao Tian Mansion next to the Li Clan, Bai He arrived inside.
He first went to find Yu Xiaogang.
Bai He demanded that Yu Xiaogang test Tang San's maximum limit for absorbing Spirit Rings.
Then he directly found Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.
In the meeting hall, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, the two brothers, were smiling as they welcomed their uncle Bai He.
Bai He's face was gloomy, and he coldly said, "I heard Xiao San is going to forge those so-called hidden weapons with you and Old Titan!"
Seeing their uncle's displeased expression, Tang Xiao quickly explained, "Xiao San's hidden weapons come from a special inheritance; their power is immense, capable of threatening even Titled Douluo. We are doing this to give Tang San stronger self-protection ability!"
Upon hearing this, Bai He became even more angry, appearing disappointed and frustrated.
He pointed at these two nephews, speaking with exasperation, "What is the situation on the continent now? Bibi Dong is almost becoming a God, and you are still thinking about self-protection.
Xiao San hasn't even broken through to Titled Douluo yet, and you want to waste time forging those so-called hidden weapons.
You two are just like that Yu Xiaogang. Before, you let Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass Soul Spirit absorb Poison Attribute Soul Beasts to enhance some practical combat ability—what use was that? How much time was wasted?
Shouldn't the Clear Sky Hammer be Xiao San's strongest practical combat ability?
The Blue Silver Grass Soul Spirit has only one purpose: to quickly increase Soul Power, allowing Xiao San to attach high-year Spirit Rings to his Second Martial Soul.
Now Xiao San has finally cultivated to Soul Douluo, what are you still waiting for?
Now you should immediately calculate Xiao San's limit for absorbing Spirit Rings, attach Spirit Rings to his Second Martial Soul, and rapidly elevate him to Titled Douluo. That is how to improve his self-protection ability, not forging hidden weapons!"
Bai He vented all this, almost spitting saliva onto their faces.
But Bai He also cared for Tang San, and his words were reasonable, so Tang Xiao and Tang Hao could only listen.
Tang Hao actually shared this idea, but he planned to have Xiao Wu sacrifice herself and had already begun taking action.
He was also somewhat worried about the appearance of Evil Soul Masters, so he thought to spend some time letting Tang San cultivate his hidden weapon skills before absorbing Spirit Rings.
After all, Tang San described how powerful his hidden weapons were, and Tang Hao was moved.
He hadn't expected Bai He to come knocking.
Just as he wanted to open his mouth to explain, Bai He glared at him again and scolded, "Are you worried about that Evil Soul Master? Are you worried about leaving Heaven Dou City? That Xiao San might be threatened?
But don't you think: if this Evil Soul Master wanted to kill Xiao San, he would have done it when Xiao San was a Soul Expert. Why wait until now?"
To take a step back, even if an Evil Soul Master appears, so what? This Evil Soul Master only schemes from the shadows. If they dare show themselves, we'll face them head-on in battle. What is there to fear?
How long has it been since Bibi Dong last appeared on the continent? Now is the best time for Xiao San to improve his strength. Are we supposed to wait until Bibi Dong recovers her power, or even achieves Godhood, before letting him absorb Spirit Rings?"
Bai He directly shut Tang Hao and Tang Xiao up, voicing all their concerns himself.
This left the two brothers with astonished expressions.
Since when did their uncle have such a broad strategic vision?
He saw the continent's situation so clearly, spoke with such boldness, and even displayed a fierce determination to fight the Evil Soul Master to the death.
Tang Xiao felt somewhat suspicious—their uncle had never been this sharp or heroic before.
Perhaps their uncle was just too eager for Xiao San to grow stronger!
Bai He felt quite uneasy under Tang Xiao's gaze. "What are you looking at? In my opinion, we should seize the opportunity now and immediately send Xiao San to the Star Dou Great Forest to add Spirit Rings to his Second Martial Soul. Maybe with just two or three Spirit Rings, Xiao San could reach the level of a Titled Douluo!
You two brats, I never realized before how cowardly you are, always fearing wolves in front and tigers behind!"
Bai He swore that the last sentence wasn't his own words.
It was the Old Sect Master who said it.
Indeed, Bai He didn't actually possess such strong strategic insight to analyze the entire Douluo Continent's situation so clearly.
But Tang Bo, hidden in the shadows, did.
As an observer, Tang Bo saw things more clearly. He understood very well that the Clear Sky Sect was at a critical juncture.
Whether it was Bibi Dong achieving Godhood or the hidden Evil Soul Master doing the same, the Clear Sky Sect would meet a terrible end.
There was no turning back now. Only by producing another Invincible on Land could the Clear Sky Sect's fate be saved.
Tang Bo also placed his bets on Tang San.
He believed that if Bibi Dong, with her Twin Soul Spirits, could receive a Godhood Inheritance, then Tang San certainly could as well.
Therefore, Tang San must reach the Titled Douluo level as soon as possible and then seek opportunities.
Moreover, Tang Bo had another purpose in mind—Xiao Wu.
Tang Bo, hidden in the shadows, had long discovered Xiao Wu's identity as a Spirit Beast and understood that Tang Hao had prepared her for Tang San.
And now, Tang Hao had finally begun to act, preparing to force Xiao Wu into a Sacrifice.
But Tang Bo felt the pace was still too slow—it needed to be done immediately.
Furthermore, Tang Bo wanted to see if the Evil Soul Master would appear again. He judged that although the Evil Soul Master's strength was formidable, it hadn't yet reached a level where they could crush everything. If they didn't fight now, when would they?
The longer they delayed, the faster Bibi Dong and the Evil Soul Master would grow in strength, and the Clear Sky Sect would truly have no chance left.
This was why Tang Bo had Bai He harshly rebuke the Tang Xiao brothers.
Bai He didn't know that the 100,000-Year Soul Beast was Xiao Wu; he was merely relaying Tang Bo's words in his own capacity.
And he also felt the Old Sect Master was right—Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had made too many mistakes in nurturing Tang San.
Otherwise, Tang San would have long since become a Titled Douluo.
Having his External Soul Bone taken three times and suffering severe damage to his vitality each time—how much time had been wasted?
If all the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng had been used to boost his Soul Power, Tang San's strength would definitely not be as it is now.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were scolded, their words stuck in their throats.
But through Bai He's words, they had to admit that the most urgent task now was indeed to let Tang San absorb Spirit Rings for his Second Martial Soul.
It all depends on how many Spirit Rings Tang San can withstand; he will absorb as many as possible, quickly advancing him to become a Titled Douluo.
Tang Hao steeled his heart. "Uncle, it was Hao'er who fell behind and became indecisive.
Elder brother, it's time to take a gamble."
He looked firmly at Tang Xiao. They couldn't let fear of the Evil Soul Masters delay Xiao San's cultivation progress.
The Clear Sky Sect was running out of time.
Tang Xiao nodded helplessly. Then let's take a gamble!
For the sake of the Clear Sky Sect, to produce another expert Invincible on Land, they had to go all out.
