Chapter 64: Tang Hao Who Can't Laugh, Heavily Injured Again
Heaven Dou City, Ye Family.
Because Ye Lingling had returned home, the entire Ye family was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Ye Lingling was not only the successor of the Nine-Heart Begonia lineage but also the little princess of the Ye family. How could they not be happy about her sudden return?
Dugu Bo's visit also gave the Ye family quite a startle.
However, just as Dugu Bo said, he was acquainted with the Ye family, so it wasn't too awkward!
The most awkward one...
Was probably still Chu Chen.
Since Ye Lingling was holding his hand as they returned home, their relationship... needless to say, the Ye family immediately treated him like the delinquent outsider who had stolen their daughter away.
Uncle Ye, on the other hand, was very warm toward Chu Chen.
After all, they could see the changes in Ye Lingling since she returned home; she really seemed different. Her face was now brimming with smiles, and she had the youthful energy a young girl should have.
"Chu Chen, thank you. Lingling seems to have returned to how she was as a child; we haven't seen her smile in a long time."
Uncle Ye was extremely grateful to Chu Chen; he knew he hadn't misjudged this young man.
Mother Ye also arrived, exuding a dignified and elegant aura. She looked at Chu Chen with satisfaction and presented him with a special jade pendant as a gift.
After thanking Mother Ye, Chu Chen was officially accepted by the Ye family!
After resting at the Ye family for a night, Chu Chen and Ye Lingling bid farewell to Mother Ye, Uncle Ye, and the others, leaving Heaven Dou City with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Taking advantage of this day, Dugu Yan also returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to explain the situation to the current leader of the Huangdou Team, which naturally went without any issues.
"Alright, little ones, let's head back to the Sunset Forest!"
...
"Um... you must keep the jade pendant my mother gave you safe."
Ye Lingling lightly nudged Chu Chen's arm and whispered secretly.
"This isn't some family heirloom of yours, is it?"
Chu Chen subconsciously assumed it was an heirloom-level jade pendant. After all, it felt incredibly warm and smooth to the touch, as translucent as colored glaze, and was crafted with specialized techniques.
It looked just like a begonia flower in full bloom.
"This jade pendant was originally given to my father by my grandmother, and now my mother has given it to you..."
A blush crept onto Ye Lingling's pretty face as she revealed the origin of the jade pendant to Chu Chen. Hearing this, Chu Chen immediately felt it was a bit too hot to handle.
He carefully put it away; it would be a disaster if such a precious item were chipped or bumped while held in his hand.
"Understood. Next time, I'll take this jade pendant to your house to propose!"
"It's... it's still too early!"
After bantering all the way, Dugu Bo really couldn't take it anymore. He truly hadn't expected that at his age, he would be forced to endure the young couple's public displays of affection. Finally reaching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo simply decided to take Dugu Yan and leave.
"Just as well, I'll guide Yaner's Cultivation. She just obtained her fourth Soul Ring and isn't familiar with using her abilities yet."
He glanced at Chu Chen and Ye Lingling.
"You two do as you please, but stay safe."
After catching the mischievous smile in Dugu Bo's eyes, Chu Chen cursed inwardly, "Old rascal."
He introduced the place to Ye Lingling: "This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It contains extremely dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Cultivating here can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"By Cultivating here, I think your Soul Power can reach level forty-six or even forty-seven by the time of the Spirit Master Tournament."
Ye Lingling was also quite shocked by the uniquely blessed Cultivation environment here.
Of course, for her, the location wasn't important.
As long as Chu Chen was here, it was very, very good.
At the same time, in another part of the Sunset Forest, Tang Hao and Tang San arrived. Beside them lay a dead ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
The age of this Soul Beast had just reached the ten-thousand-year level.
The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's hand glowed with black light; clearly, he was adding the first Soul Ring to his Clear Sky Hammer, and he had chosen a ten-thousand-year level one!
Although the process involved the Soul Beast's soul shock, Tang San's outstanding Spiritual Power allowed him to endure it.
Tang Hao remained silent.
"I took Little San to the place where the Blue Silver King died, absorbed the residual energy of the Blue Silver King there, and combined it with the special herbs I obtained from the Sect. Finally, we stimulated Little San's Soul Power to achieve a Breakthrough."
Tang Hao's voice carried a hint of sorrow. He knew this approach wasn't optimal, but fortunately, it allowed Tang San to reach the Soul Sect Realm in a short time and add a fourth Soul Ring to his Blue Silver Grass.
"Dad, I succeeded!"
Tang San had gone through a narrow escape from death and finally succeeded. After absorbing this first Soul Ring for the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San's strength increased greatly. He released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul again, showing four Soul Rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple.
"My Soul Power has increased to level forty-three, Dad."
He had made a crazy decision to start adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer while still at the Soul Sect level, and ten-thousand-year ones at that.
Of course, Tang Hao's guidance was involved in this.
Tang Hao just nodded calmly. To be honest, he wasn't exactly happy...
Because Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was essentially ruined!
It was out of necessity that he began allowing Tang San to Cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, but fortunately, the first Soul Ring being at the ten-thousand-year level wasn't too bad.
"Little San, have you really decided to return to Shrek Academy?"
Tang Hao asked.
Tang San nodded: "Dad, my partners are still there... Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu might already be in grave danger."
"Dad, you said that night besides Dugu Bo there were also people from Spirit Hall. I won't be afraid of them. I'm going to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament, I'm going to defeat them, and I'm going to let them know that I am the son of the Clear Sky Douluo."
The sadness on Tang Hao's face finally dissipated a bit.
"Good! That damned Spirit Hall, and that Chu Chen—I definitely won't let him off. I'll make him die a miserable death."
Tang Hao laughed loudly.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore. How could Di Tian, who had been secretly protecting Chu Chen, not notice Tang Hao?
Tang Hao's words caused Di Tian to appear once again. At this moment, Tang Hao was not far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; if he discovered Chu Chen, he would certainly attack him.
Therefore, to avoid such trouble...
Di Tian took the initiative to appear. Dressed in black, he appeared silently before Tang Hao.
"Boom!"
Dragon Might erupted. Tang Hao's expression immediately changed. He grabbed Tang San and began to flee frantically; he recognized this familiar power.
It was this person who had severely injured him that day!
"Swoosh!"
Dragon claws tore through space, condensing extreme spatial power as they slammed toward Tang Hao. Even though Tang Hao had already fled thousands of meters away, Di Tian's strike still hit his back, making blood splatter three feet.
Tang Hao let out a low growl, once again heavily injured, but he didn't stop. Instead, he held the Clear Sky Hammer and exploded several Soul Rings in succession.
Using that momentary power, Tang Hao fled with Tang San. Di Tian did not pursue him; in his eyes, such a piece of trash couldn't cause any waves.
