Amid Old Goathead's continuous curses, Ning Fengzhi looked as if he had eaten three lumps of shit—his expression ugly, his face turning green and black.
But knowing he was in the wrong, and unable to curse back at Old Goathead, he simply turned his head away and pretended not to see. In any case, they were people about to die.
Along with one scream after another, the remaining healing Soul Masters were completely slaughtered, all having their life force drained dry by Tang San.
After absorbing the life force, Tang San gradually regained his rationality. He even wanted to make a move on Ning Fengzhi, but after thinking about it, realized that now was not the right time.
So he hurriedly stopped, put on an apologetic expression, and said, "Uncle Ning, please don't blame me. Just now, because of my martial soul, and because my origin was damaged, I couldn't help but devour them."
"Sigh, what's done is done. I won't say much more. But Xiao San, what exactly is going on with your martial soul?" Ning Fengzhi asked with some confusion.
At this moment, Tang San had not yet retracted that blood-red Blue Silver Grass, which Ning Fengzhi clearly saw.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled. This kind of Blue Silver Grass almost contained no life force at all, relying entirely on devouring the life force and flesh of others to level up.
If one possessed such a martial soul, they were practically a born fallen soul master. Logically speaking, such an evil martial soul should not exist.
But now, the person who possessed this martial soul would become a god in the future. In this situation, even if Tang San were a fallen soul master, he still had to protect him.
However, with such an evil martial soul, would the god he became in the future really be a good god? Could it be one of those gods worshipped by fallen soul masters?
If that were the case, wouldn't the continent become a paradise for fallen soul masters in the future?
Moreover, fallen soul masters were mostly evil people. Would they truly remember his kindness?
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but look suspiciously at Tang San, who was refining life force. The doubt in his eyes was unmistakable.
Ning Fengzhi's change was also noticed by Tang Hao. Tang Hao snorted a few times, his tone filled with impatience as he said:
"Don't worry. My Xiao San is pure as ice and jade. Since childhood, he has respected elders and honored teachers. We can't look at Xiao San with the eyes we use for fallen soul masters. And even among fallen soul masters, there are kind people."
As Tang Hao spoke, he couldn't help but recall the time he spent living with Yun'er. Yun'er was so kind—yet she was taken by his evil older brother.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Under the black robe, Tang Hao's eyes gradually reddened, his breathing becoming rapid. He activated the true Tang Sect inheritance—his eyes bloodshot, panting like a bull.
"Damn Tang Xiao! Completely disregarding brotherly bonds and the affection of a sister-in-law. Truly deserving of the wrath of both man and heaven! I, Tang Hao, will sooner or later smash his dog head!"
Tang Hao gritted his teeth as he spoke, clearly furious, as if the whole world revolved around him.
As a sect master, Ning Fengzhi also knew some secrets about the Clear Sky Sect. Back then, the famed Haotian Twin Stars eventually split apart because of a fallen soul master.
Once close brothers became bitter enemies.
But now Tang Hao was on the same side as him, so naturally he wouldn't say anything to refute him, instead echoing, "Sigh, Clear Sky Douluo need not be angry. Xiao San is extraordinarily talented. In the future, he will surely become the strongest Titled Douluo on the continent, and at that time, he will definitely clear your names."
"Hopefully. But I hope Sect Master Ning can also help keep this matter hidden," Tang Hao muttered.
He was still uneasy, worried that Ning Fengzhi, this old fox, might expose Xiao San. He immediately spoke with some concern.
"Rest assured. I've already treated Xiao San as my own child. In the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will also protect Xiao San's safety," Ning Fengzhi said.
He said this to draw closer to Tang San. Treating Tang San as his own child, being so good to him—wasn't that like a father and son?
"That's good, then."
Although he didn't really like Ning Fengzhi saying he would treat Xiao San as his own child, Tang Hao still nodded. Having someone help was better than nothing.
Still, Xiao San really was something. He didn't look like him at all. When he was young, he looked like his older brother; now he looked like Zhao Wuji—just not like him.
After a while, Tang San slowly opened his eyes. The aura around him surged to level seventy. As long as he absorbed a soul ring, he would be a Soul Saint.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. This kindness—I, Tang San, will repay it tenfold in the future."
Feeling his rapidly rising aura, Tang San was filled with high spirits. Right now, even facing Dugu Yan and Qian Renchuan, he shouldn't be weaker than them.
As for Yan, he would probably only be fit to become his defeated subordinate now.
Seeing Tang San say this, Ning Fengzhi felt greatly comforted and said, "It's nothing. To think Xiao San is already a Soul Saint at such a young age—before long, you'll probably obtain a title and become one of the continent's experts."
"Then I'll have Dad take me to find a soul ring first. I'll take my leave now, Uncle Ning."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi like this, Tang San sneered inwardly. He would definitely repay the favor—but how he repaid it would depend on his mood.
Turning all the female disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into auxiliary martial soul production machines for the Tang Sect wouldn't necessarily be a bad way to strengthen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.
At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would still be the continent's powerful auxiliary martial soul—only it would belong to the Tang Sect.
As for Ning Fengzhi, he would inevitably die. Although he had treated Tang San well, Tang San always felt that Ning Fengzhi had ulterior motives and already deserved death.
"Mm, you go ahead," Ning Fengzhi said.
He was in a good mood at the moment and didn't stop them.
Only after Tang Hao and his son left did he remember that all the sect's high-level healing Soul Masters were gone. How was he supposed to explain that? His head immediately started to ache.
...
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Today was the final day of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament preliminaries. There were also some small incidents along the way—Shi Nian was caught and executed on the spot.
However, Canghui Academy was not stripped of its competition slot.
During these few days, because of Tang San's departure, Dai Mubai and the others—those unstable Soul Kings—were already struggling.
In the later matches, they encountered Blazing Fire Academy. As a result, due to being short-handed, Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng, being too arrogant, tried to take down Huowu first. Instead, they were focused and instantly defeated.
After that, Shrek fought four against seven and directly lost the match.
Inside the Shrek lounge.
"We're currently in eighth place. This position basically guarantees advancement, but I'm very dissatisfied."
Yu Xiaogang looked at the dejected Shrek members with a serious face, his tone full of displeasure.
This was far from the result he had imagined. Originally, Shrek Seven Devils should have taken first place in the preliminaries, first place in the promotion round, and finally won the championship.
Then, when the Shrek Seven Devils received their awards, he would step onto the stage and announce his theories, gaining the admiration of soul masters across the continent.
But now everything was messed up, leaving Yu Xiaogang in a terrible mood.
"Teacher, there was nothing we could do," Ma Hongjun was about to retort, but seeing Flender and Liu Erlong standing beside Yu Xiaogang, he lowered his voice and muttered.
"I know, but you were still careless and underestimated your opponents. Do you really deserve to be called monsters like this? Can't you learn from Xiao San?"
Mentioning Tang San, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but lift his head proudly. After all, Tang San was a disciple he had painstakingly taught.
As for what exactly he taught—he didn't know. But he was Tang San's teacher.
"Tch, didn't Tang San also get crippled by a Soul King while he was a Soul Emperor?" Ma Hongjun rolled his one remaining eye at Yu Xiaogang and said disdainfully.
So what if he was a Soul Emperor? Didn't he get soloed by the opposing Soul King in the first match? What was there to be proud of? It wasn't even certain whether he was still alive.
