Chapter 683 Tang 3 Recognizes His Mother
Chapter 683 Tang San Recognizes His Mother
After Yu Xiaogang's persistent persuasion, most of the students from Shrek Academy agreed to voluntarily forfeit their place in the final round of the competition.
Flander, who originally wanted to attract more sponsors and rake in more GG fees during the match, had no choice but to compromise in the face of the assertive Yu Xiaogang and ultimately expressed his agreement.
Tang San was extremely unwilling and resentful to forfeit to the Spirit Hall's Second Team, in his heart.
However, considering that the Shrek Seven Devils currently have no trump cards, and that the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique, which the Grandmaster devoted his heart and soul to researching and teaching, is something they have only just begun to learn and practice and have not yet fully mastered.
Facing the Spirit Hall's formidable yet unpredictable team at this time would not be a wise move.
Perhaps we should do as the master suggested, temporarily give up this match, wait until the qualifying rounds, try to figure out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in the individual matches, and finally defeat the opponent in the final.
This is the safest approach.
Tang San, lost in thought, had his mind racing. Soon he had his own insights and gradually came to agree with Yu Xiaogang's theory of "abstention".
"Okay, teacher, we'll do as you say. We'll forfeit the next match."
After a moment of silence, Tang San made up his mind, looked up at Grandmaster, and expressed his agreement to forfeit and admit defeat. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.
"No, we can't give up and admit defeat."
The voice was slightly hoarse, but extremely loud and deep, seemingly containing immense soul power, which greatly shocked the eardrums of everyone present.
The sound echoed through the forest, and then a black figure flashed out from the dense forest, appearing in front of the Shrek group in the blink of an eye.
The man was tall and muscular, his entire body shrouded in a tattered black robe, obscuring his face, but everyone present knew his identity.
Yes, he is Tang San's father, Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao.
"Hao Haotian Douluo?"
The one who reacted the most was Zhao Wuji.
After all, he had been beaten by Tang Hao before, and the memory was still fresh in his mind. When he saw Tang Hao suddenly appear in front of him, he jumped up almost reflexively, his legs trembling and his face full of lingering fear.
Fortunately, Tang Hao only glanced at him briefly and then ignored him, which eased Zhao Wuji's anxiety considerably.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Haotian."
Flander quickly stood up and led the Shrek Academy faculty and students forward, bowing and scraping as they greeted them.
Although everyone knows that Haotian Douluo is Tang San's father and would not harm them, the reputation of a titled Douluo is still deeply ingrained in people's minds.
"Father."
Unlike the surprise of the teachers and teammates at Shrek Academy, Tang San was only happy to see Tang Hao appear.
"Your Majesty, you just said that we cannot forfeit and admit defeat?"
Yu Xiaogang wasn't too surprised by Tang Hao's appearance. He put his hands behind his back, stepped forward, and asked Tang Hao with some uncertainty.
"That's right," Tang Hao nodded calmly, "You can't forfeit in tomorrow's match."
"Huh?" Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback, his expression full of confusion. "Why is that?"
Tang Hao's eyes, hidden beneath his robes and hat, flickered slightly, but the words he uttered were anything but ordinary:
"Because I hope that you Shrek Seven Devils can fight the Spirit Hall's Second Team with all your might."
"Huh? This?" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was completely stunned and for a moment forgot to ask for the reason.
Not only him, but everyone else at Shrek Academy was the same.
But Tang Hao showed no intention of explaining, as if what he had just said was merely an order that brooked no argument.
"Mistress, come with me."
Tang San, standing beside him, opened his mouth in surprise, but Tang Hao didn't give him a chance to ask. He left a sentence and turned to walk into the depths of the forest.
Tang San didn't think much of it, or rather, he couldn't resist Tang Hao's instructions, and hurriedly followed in the latter's footsteps.
…………
Perhaps due to its remote location, the Tian Dou Royal Academy is situated in a well-preserved forest, filled with towering trees hundreds of meters tall, exuding the atmosphere of a primeval jungle.
Watching his father silently march forward, occasionally taking a big gulp of cheap liquor from his filthy gourd, Tang San's eyes suddenly welled up with tears for some reason.
At this moment, the father's back looked so lonely and desolate.
Looking back on everything, he suddenly deeply understood the immense pain his father had endured over the years.
Deep in the forest, the father and son stopped in a clearing. Looking around, they saw dense jungle and towering trees, with only the clearing above them visible in the blue sky, through which sunlight streamed down.
Given its surroundings, this place is like a unique and secluded paradise.
Tang San had never imagined that there would be such a place in this forest, which was neither large nor small, but at this moment his attention was entirely focused on his father.
"Little San, you must be very confused as to why I insist on sending your Shrek Seven Devils to clash head-on with the Spirit Hall team."
Tang Hao, with his back to Tang San, spoke in a low, somber tone.
"Yes, Father."
Tang San paused for a moment, choosing to tell the truth, but then his tone changed again:
"However, I think you must have your reasons for making this request."
Tang Hao immediately turned around and gave Tang San a deep look, seemingly very satisfied with his son's performance, but said nothing more.
With Tang San still looking confused, he stepped in front of the small mound, channeled his soul power to destroy the weeds on it, and then placed the stone flowerpot he was holding on it.
In a stone flowerpot, a slender blue silver grass swayed in the wind, looking somewhat malnourished and half-wilted.
After arranging the flowerpots, Tang Hao, unusually, lifted the robe and hood covering his head, revealing his unkempt and weathered old face. His messy beard almost completely covered his face, making it impossible to see his original appearance.
"Mistress, come here and kneel down."
Tang San silently watched Tang Hao's movements, neither making a sound nor disturbing him. Soon, his father's voice rang in his ears.
Tang Hao pointed to his side, bent his knees, and sat on the ground, facing the Blue Silver Grass placed on top of the small mound.
Tang San seemed to have thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat, but he still obediently took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of the Blue Silver Grass as his father instructed.
Tang Hao's expression suddenly became unusually gentle. He raised his hand and gently stroked the half-wilted leaves of the Blue Silver Grass.
"Young mistress, didn't you want to know where your mother is? Look, this is your mother."
Tang San was shocked. He stared blankly at the unremarkable Blue Silver Grass in front of him, which looked ordinary no matter how you looked at it. This Blue Silver Grass... was it really his mother?
His heart trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Perhaps due to the overwhelming shock, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul suddenly and uncontrollably released itself, instantly covering the entire open space.
Gentle fluctuations of soul power permeated the silent space, causing the half-wilted Blue Silver Grass in the flowerpot to sway even more violently.
As if influenced by Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, it miraculously regained some vitality and began to grow quietly. The veins on the grass seemed to come alive, emitting a gentle, warm vibration.
This unusual change was noticed by the sharp-eyed Tang San, and the lingering doubt in his heart vanished in an instant.
It truly regarded the half-wilted, ordinary blue silver grass in front of it as its mother.
Tang Hao was also completely stunned.
The Blue Silver Grass doesn't actually grow very fast, but even Tang San, a Soul Master, could notice this anomaly, so how could Tang Hao, a Super Douluo, not notice it?
"Yes, how come I didn't think of that? Xiao San has half of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, so she can resonate with Ah Yin. Even if she can't bring Ah Yin back to life, she can at least restore some of her vitality."
Tang Hao's lips trembled, and the excitement and joy in his eyes were almost uncontrollable.
He never imagined that the Blue Silver Grass in front of him would regain a lot of vitality through his son's aura.
This growth process is far better than he could have personally cared for it, exceeding the total of the previous eight years.
As he murmured to himself, Tang Hao shed tears.
The once mighty Haotian Douluo was now covered in tears.
He stroked the slowly recovering grass with one trembling hand, letting his tears drip into the flowerpot.
Tang San's gaze remained somewhat vacant.
At that moment, he finally understood why his Blue Silver Grass was so different from others.
It turned out that he actually had the bloodline of a 100,000-year-old soul beast flowing through his veins.
Tang San reached out with trembling hands and gently stroked the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass. In a daze, he seemed to feel a kind of intimacy connected by blood.
"Mother."
Finally, Tang San could no longer hold back, and he collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Although he had never belonged to this world, how could he suppress the excitement in his heart when he truly felt his mother's presence?
In his previous life, Tang San was just a rootless duckweed.
Although as an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, I have many fellow disciples, everyone in the Tang Sect, which leans towards evil, is extremely selfish and self-serving. There is no basic trust, let alone any brotherly or sisterly affection.
Therefore, Tang San desperately longed for family affection, especially the parental love he had never experienced.
In this life, he is no longer a rootless duckweed.
He had a father and a mother, and even though his mother was a half-wilted blue silver grass, he still couldn't control his turbulent emotions.
Seemingly influenced by Tang San's emotions, Tang Hao also fell into an excited atmosphere.
He suddenly felt very happy, and his once lifeless heart gradually came alive again.
In this atmosphere, the father and son fell into a daze, unable to come to their senses for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sky began to gradually darken.
The blue silver grass, which had regained some vitality, swayed gently in the forest breeze, and the father and son had almost identical expressions.
His gaze was vacant, and he wore a silly grin.
"Father--"
Finally, Tang San was the first to come to his senses and softly called out to his father.
His voice had become somewhat hoarse from crying so hard.
Tang Hao snapped out of his daze, glanced at the Blue Silver Grass in front of him, and then looked at Tang San:
"Now you understand, right?"
"Mm." Tang San nodded gently.
With a hint of confusion in his eyes, Tang Hao seemed to see all the past events before he began to tell his story.
This includes how outstanding he was as a child, and how, with his exceptional talent and diligent cultivation, he and his elder brother Tang Xiao became the new generation of leaders of the Haotian Sect, and were praised by everyone as the Haotian Twin Stars.
After mastering their skills, the two brothers went out to gain experience. Relying on their extraordinary strength and the prestige of the Clear Sky Sect, they carved out their own niche in the world of Soul Masters.
By chance, they encountered Ah Yin, who was the human form of the 100,000 Blue Silver Emperor. The three of them traveled together, and during their adventures across the continent, both brothers fell in love with Ah Yin. In the end, Ah Yin chose him, while the eldest brother, Tang Xiao, voluntarily withdrew.
Immediately afterwards, he married Ah Yin, who soon became pregnant. However, just before she was about to give birth, she was hunted down by Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, and four Title Douluos.
In the end, although Ah Yin successfully gave birth to Tang San, she was forced to commit suicide as a sacrifice, leaving behind only a seed and a soul bone.
Having received Ah Yin's sacrifice, he defeated the Spirit Hall with his surge in strength and powerful 100,000-year spirit ring.
Of the five titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, one died and four were injured. Qian Xunji, the former Pope who led the pursuit of him and Ah Yin, returned to the Spirit Hall but died from his injuries.
Subsequently, the Spirit Hall issued an edict, dispatching a large army of spirit masters to attack the Clear Sky Sect. The current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, who was already terminally ill, was also his father and Tang San's grandfather. Upon learning this news, he passed away in a fit of anger.
From then on, he lived a life of being unable to return home and constantly on the run until the situation eased up a bit, at which point he dared to take Tang San and live in seclusion in Holy Soul Village.
As Tang Hao recounted one past event after another, the confusion in his eyes was replaced by deep pain, regret, and hatred.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Tang Hao's body trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down his face.
Tang San listened quietly from the side, completely understanding his father's feelings at that moment.
Unable to return home, feeling lost and helpless, unsure how to face his family, coupled with the sudden death of his grandfather, undoubtedly dealt an extremely heavy blow to his father.
"well--"
After a long silence, Tang Hao calmed down, let out a long sigh, and looked at Tang San:
"Mistress, I wasn't planning to tell you these things until you met my requirements."
"But now, I've decided to tell you everything about your mother."
"There's something I need you to do."
