The area on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang Hao was sitting on a tree stump, resting. His condition was extremely poor. His left leg was broken, and his entire body was covered in sword energy lacerations. Blood had already dyed his tattered cloth clothes red, and his aura was weak to the extreme.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were unconscious beside him, but they didn't have many injuries. Clearly, Tang Hao had taken most of the damage.
After a while, Tang San and Xiao Wu woke up almost simultaneously.
Tang San saw Tang Hao's current state, and his voice trembled as he said, "Dad, your... leg... your... injuries.
Damn Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Xu Yang, you all deserve to die."
The last sentence, Tang San spoke through gritted teeth, his eyes full of hatred.
"Don't worry, these injuries won't kill me." Tang Hao weakly shook his head, then turned to look at Xiao Wu, his voice low and deep, "You should leave. This is the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, you should be able to return home soon!"
Tang San's emotions immediately became agitated, "Why, Dad?!"
"Because you don't have the strength to protect her, and she is currently in her infancy, unable to hide her identity in front of a Soul Douluo. Why do you think she was targeted by Ning Fengzhi? It was because the Soul Douluo protecting that little girl in the dark saw her."
Hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang San fell silent, because it was the truth, he was indeed weak and didn't have the strength to protect Xiao Wu.
"Fortunately, it wasn't Spirit Hall who came this time. If it had been a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall, even I wouldn't have been confident in saving both of you safely."
"What do you mean?!" Tang San frowned.
Tang Hao said in a deep voice, "Because of the nature of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Spirit, their sect's nature is different from other sects, and their actions are not absolute. That's why it was Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin who came, instead of the Sword and Bone Titled Douluos."
"They initially just wanted to make a deal with me, hoping I could give up Xiao Wu. The things they offered would have been agreed to by any force."
"But because you are my son, as a father, I didn't want you to experience the same fate as me, so I rejected them, and the two sides fought."
"That Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Soul Power has already reached level ninety-eight, while I only have level ninety-five. I am not his opponent, even if I wield the Great Sumeru Hammer, such a divine skill."
"If I hadn't been emotionally agitated just now and directly attacked that junior, Chen Xin probably wouldn't have used such a hurtful attack."
"In the end, it's still my fault."
Tang San was emotional and retorted loudly, "Dad, it's not your fault at all. If Xu Yang hadn't wanted to capture Xiao Wu, you wouldn't have attacked him."
Tang Hao looked up at Tang San, shook his head, and continued, "If I wasn't your father, if it wasn't because of your mother, seeing a 100,000-year-old transformed Soul Beast like Xiao Wu, I would have made the same choice as Ning Fengzhi."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but lower her head. She knew very well the temptation of a 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone to a Soul Master.
Perhaps Third Brother's father let me go because of my relationship with Third Brother!
But the next second, she realized she was wrong.
"You might not have felt it just now, but at the moment the Sacrifice Array was formed, your mother and that incident back then unconsciously appeared in my mind, which is why I was so furious."
"Although I don't know how that junior stopped the sacrifice ceremony, I still launched an attack on him as soon as possible, and I still used the Great Sumeru Hammer, which is a despicable and shameless act in the eyes of other Soul Masters."
Tang San was a little dazed. Thinking of the gentle aura when he was first reborn, he couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, who exactly is my mother? And what exactly was that incident back then?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao was slightly stunned. He seemed to have said too much because of sentimentality, so he said with a serious face, "Before you reach my requirements, I will not tell you the truth of that year."
And Xiao Wu had already guessed the identity of Tang San's mother.
"Alright, now Xiao Wu can leave. And Xiao San, you have to follow me to cultivate. You can only leave when you reach my requirements!"
...
Inside the top floor of the Seven Treasure Hotel in Soto City, Xu Yang was sitting at the table, using simplified characters to transcribe the contents of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. He copied each word with utmost care, fearing any mistakes.
As for the drawings of the mechanical hidden weapons recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Xu Yang had handed them all over to Ning Fengzhi, asking him to take them back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to arm the entire sect.
Tang San probably had the idea of rebuilding the Tang Sect in his heart, so even the human meridian diagrams and the functions of various meridians were clearly recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
There were even many widely circulated martial arts techniques, such as the Golden Bell Shield, Iron Shirt, Arhat Fist, and so on.
But what truly surprised Xu Yang were the Xuan Tian Gong, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Purple Demon Eyes.
The Xuan Tian Gong goes without saying, it was related to whether Xu Yang could complete the cultivation of the Inner Core Technique before level seventy, and the Three Flowers Gather on Crown and Five Energies Towards the Origin when the ninth level was completed were the key.
The Purple Demon Eyes even more so, not only could it enhance the power of Xu Yang's Sun Golden Eyes, but also reaching the mustard seed realm would allow him to further his perception at the microscopic level.
Perhaps Xu Yang could really rely on this eye technique to achieve the terrifying control similar to the fourth-order gene lock.
And what really surprised Xu Yang was the Mysterious Jade Hand. He originally thought it was just a method of practicing hands, but after seeing the complete set of cultivation methods, he just wanted to say that Tang San was wasting natural resources.
The essence of the Mysterious Jade Hand is actually a method of training bones, which can enhance the strength and intensity of the wrist, making the hand as hard as gold and stone, as tough as cold jade, and also immune to all poisons.
Before cultivating to great success, using the technique will make the hands appear jade-colored, and after great success, no matter how hard you work, the hands will be like those of ordinary people.
And the sign of great success is refining bone like jade.
The reason why Xu Yang said that Tang San was wasting natural resources was that Tang San only thought that this technique was for practicing hands, and never thought of applying the principle of this technique to the bones of the whole body.
Since the hand can be trained, it means that the whole body can be trained. In Xu Yang's view, this Mysterious Jade Hand is the most top-notch body refining technique.
As for the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Crane Control Capturing Dragon, Xu Yang would only learn them and would not study them in depth like the Xuan Tian Gong, Purple Demon Eyes, and Mysterious Jade Hand.
Also, he would learn the hidden weapon techniques recorded in the Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, especially the top five hidden weapon techniques, which would not only increase his attack methods but also prevent Tang San's attacks in the future.
After copying the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Xu Yang carefully checked it again to make sure there were no problems, and then began to study it.
Xu Yang would not abandon his original Sun Soul Power for the sake of the Xuan Tian Gong, but would use the Sun Soul Power as the foundation, absorb the principles of the Xuan Tian Gong, transform it, and turn it into a new technique.
