Chapter 329: A Bold Idea!
"Young Master!"
Tai Tan looked at Tang San with a face full of confusion. He had originally thought that Tang San had been eaten by a soul beast!
Setting out to hunt a soul ring and disappearing for more than a year...
What kind of soul beast was this hard to kill?
What kind of soul beast was this hard to find?
Seeing Tang San again, Tai Tan was extremely excited, but there was a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
"Tai Tan, long time no see."
Tang San said with a smile.
Only, this smile was somewhat forced.
After everything he had experienced over this time, how could he genuinely smile?
"Young Master, where have you been for over a year? You made this old servant so worried!"
Tai Tan clasped Tang San's hand, speaking with deep emotion.
This was the son of his master—if anything had happened to him, how could he possibly explain it to his master?
Hearing this, Tang San was full of disdain inwardly. If Tai Tan really cared about him, he wouldn't have gone over a year without once going into the Sunset Forest to look for him!
Before setting off, he had clearly said he was going to the Sunset Forest to hunt for a soul ring, and yet he had been forced into staying away for good. Still, Tai Tan had never gone searching for him!
This was also why Tang San had set his sights on Tai Tan and the Strength Clan.
In truth, Tang San was somewhat blaming Tai Tan unjustly. It wasn't that Tai Tan hadn't searched for him; he had, only they had failed to meet.
The Sunset Forest wasn't terribly huge, but it wasn't exactly small either.
It was the largest natural forest within the Heaven Dou Empire's borders. Finding one person there was like fishing for a needle in a small river...
It was perfectly normal not to find him.
"In the past year or so, I've been training in the Sunset Forest."
Tang San "told the truth."
This was not a lie. Other than not mentioning the matters involving Ghost and the Spirit Hall, he really had spent over a year in the Sunset Forest.
Either healing, or devouring soul beasts to absorb their bloodlines and soul power.
Calling it training was not wrong.
"What?"
Tai Tan was stunned for a moment, then continued, "I went to the Sunset Forest three times looking for Young Master, but unexpectedly..."
Tang San didn't believe a single word of Tai Tan's explanation—three times searching for him?
Impossible!
He had never once noticed any trace of the Strength Clan or Tai Tan.
With a cold snort inwardly, his expression remained calm on the surface.
"By the way, Young Master, what level have you reached now?"
"Actually, you should have waited a bit longer to obtain your soul ring. After the God of Thunder ascended, he altered the laws of heaven and earth. Now you don't even need to hunt soul beasts to get a soul ring."
Tai Tan's words would have been better left unsaid. The moment he spoke, Tang San's eyes turned blood-red, murderous intent flooding the air.
All of this should have belonged to him, Tang San!
It had been snatched away by Kong!
And if only that man had ascended earlier!
Why didn't he ascend earlier?!
Was it just to target him, Tang San?!
"Tai Tan, don't mention that person in front of me!"
Tang San roared sharply, clenching his fists so tightly that even his molars nearly shattered.
"???"
Tai Tan was stunned, bewildered.
What did Tang San mean by this?
The God of Thunder had made such a great contribution—why did the Young Master seem so disgusted by him?
Could it be jealousy?
It made sense. The Young Master was a twin martial soul wielder, a genius among geniuses. Yet he hadn't become a god first—being jealous was normal.
Since the Young Master didn't want to hear it, Tai Tan would not speak further.
"Young Master, if you had returned just a few days later, you might not have seen me again..."
The Four Great Clans Gathering was about to begin, and Tai Tan explained the situation.
Tang San's eye twitched slightly. Tai Tan really had found a way to seek death. When Tang San hadn't returned and was missing, Tai Tan still had the heart to participate in some Four Great Clans Gathering!
Wasn't this courting death?
In an instant, Tang San's mind was at ease.
His decision had been the right one!
Wait, the Four Great Clans Gathering?
Tang San glanced at Tai Tan, then muttered to himself.
If he could devour all the four clans that had "betrayed" the Clear Sky School, then...
As he thought of this, Tang San's mood instantly brightened a lot. He quickly said, "Tai Tan, I want to meet the other three clan chiefs. Back then, it was indeed my father who wronged them, it was the Clear Sky Sect that wronged them."
"If possible, I would like to apologize to them on my father's behalf and do my best to make up for the mistakes of the past!"
Tai Tan's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, looking somewhat incredulous.
"Young Master, the Master was not wrong back then!"
"If anyone was at fault, it was the Clear Sky Sect, not the Master!"
"And you were even less at fault—you were just born at that time."
Tai Tan waved his hand, insisting no matter what, he would never say that Tang Hao had been wrong.
This was his Master, after all—how could he possibly be wrong?
"Still, it's a good idea to take the Young Master to meet those old fellows."
As if remembering something, Tai Tan quickly agreed.
Seeing Tai Tan agree, Tang San's lips curved into a slight smile.
Very good!
"When are we setting off?"
Tang San asked in confusion. He needed to set aside some time—he had a big use for it!
Poison-making!
Tang San had no confidence in facing a Soul Douluo head-on, even though he had already reached the Spirit Sage level.
If his soul rings were normal, he might still have a bit of confidence.
But his sixth and seventh rings were merely ten-year soul rings—weak to the extreme.
How could he even think of defeating a Soul Douluo?
Poison, however, was a different matter!
During this period, he had gathered some poisons. With these, he could craft even stronger toxins.
Even if they couldn't deal with a Title Douluo, handling a Soul Douluo would be no problem.
It was just a pity that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was now completely empty. If he had even found a single celestial-grade poisonous plant, he could have easily reversed the situation and killed Ghost or even Bibi Dong…
The scene shifted to Kong's side.
He had been secretly observing the Sect Competition for three days. Aside from the first day where Yu Yuanzhen had appeared, afterward, whenever other sects encountered the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they simply surrendered.
How could they fight?
With a god—or even a demigod—on their side, these Soul Douluo could not possibly stand against them. Even if they all attacked together, they might not even match one hand of the enemy.
Only Tuoba Xi, saving face, still insisted on going up and begging for mercy, making it even more embarrassing.
At this moment, the Spirit Hall's Pope's Hall was packed, and a meeting was in progress.
This meeting had been proposed by one of the elders.
"Your Holiness, I believe that with the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, if we continue to divide the sects into Upper Three and Lower Four, it will certainly cause dissatisfaction from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Whether it's Huyan Zhen or Tuoba Xi who takes third place, they are fundamentally unworthy to stand alongside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It will be difficult to handle the aftermath..."
What the Clear Sky Sect could think of, the people of Spirit Hall could think of even more—how could they not anticipate trouble?
Once this was said, everyone fell into deep thought.
It made sense.
If they didn't reorganize the Sect Competition, then the public would naturally believe that the number one sect in the world now was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The once number one Clear Sky Sect would become second.
The second sect would become third.
There wouldn't be much of a change.
However, now that Huyan Zhen and others were about to rise to the top, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Cats and dogs like them—how could they be compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
Did they have a god-level powerhouse? Or even a demigod-level powerhouse?
A force without even a single Title Douluo…
