Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Su Ming's Plan

Su Ming said, "Old Monster, let me think. Since they've been forced to leave Heaven Dou City, they wouldn't just join any random academy."

"They chose to come to Blue Tyrant Academy because Liu Erlong is part of the Golden Iron Triangle, so they had a connection there. That way, it would be easier to arrange for their teachers and students."

"Following this line of thinking, Flender might not have any more connections, but Yu Xiaogang does!"

"Old Monster, don't forget, Yu Xiaogang is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even though he hasn't returned to the clan for over ten years, due to what happened recently, he will definitely return now!"

Dugu Bo, understanding Su Ming's hint, said, "Little monster, are you saying Thunderclap Academy?"

Su Ming nodded, "Exactly. It's very likely that under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, along with Yu Tianheng, they've joined Thunderclap Academy. We can go there and see. If they aren't there, we might have to abandon the plan to take the spirit bone for now."

"Old Monster, do you know where Thunderclap Academy is?"

Dugu Bo nodded, "I know. Thunderclap Academy isn't too far from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I'll take you there."

After a day of nonstop travel, they arrived at Thunderclap Academy by the evening of the next day.

They had been racing against time because every day they delayed, Tang San's fusion with the Eight Spider Lances spirit bone deepened.

Su Ming didn't waste time and immediately used his spiritual power to scan the area. Since Thunderclap Academy was one of the Four Elemental Academies, it was bound to have strong spirit masters.

So, Su Ming was careful not to rush things. He focused on finding Yu Xiaogang, Ma Hongjun, or Dai Mubai. Once he located them, it would confirm that Tang San and the others were there as well, and they could proceed with their plan.

As expected, Su Ming quickly found traces of those three. Expanding his search around them, he discovered that Tang San was indeed in the academy, currently training in a certain area.

Su Ming wasn't sure when they had joined, especially since Thunderclap Academy was known for accepting only spirit masters with lightning-type martial souls. It seemed they had made an exception for Tang San's group, perhaps due to something Yu Xiaogang had said.

"Old Monster, here. Wear this night suit and mask. We're going in," Su Ming said, handing over the disguise.

The two donned the suits and masks. To be even more cautious, Su Ming used a disguise talisman on Dugu Bo, altering his aura.

"Little Monster, what is this?" Dugu Bo asked, noticing the change in his energy.

"Old Monster, you'll understand later. I have many strange things with me. Just remember to change your voice and start your spirit pressure at the Spirit King level. Once Tang San can't take it anymore, his Eight Spider Lances will reveal themselves, and we'll act shocked, like it was unexpected."

"Relax, and don't resist."

Dugu Bo trusted Su Ming, so he didn't resist as Su Ming used Kamui to absorb him into the space. Su Ming himself followed shortly after.

"Little monster, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful space-type spirit ability. You're getting more mysterious by the day!" Dugu Bo chuckled.

Su Ming ignored the comment. "Alright, let's find Tang San and pull him in. Then it's all up to you."

In Thunderclap Academy, Tang San was focused on his training, unaware of the approaching danger. His only thought was to become stronger and defeat Su Ming in the future. Su Ming had become a kind of obsession, a hurdle that Tang San felt he must overcome to find peace.

Suddenly, the space around Tang San warped, and before he could react, he was pulled into Kamui's dimension. A powerful force pressed down on him, causing his Blue Silver Grass to activate defensively.

Dugu Bo, his voice disguised and raspy, spoke, "You must be Tang San?"

Tang San struggled to lift his head. He saw two figures in black night suits and masks standing before him. Su Ming had changed his mask to fully cover his face, remembering that Tang San had previously seen his eyes.

"Who are you? Why did you capture me? Where is this place?" Tang San asked, barely able to breathe under the spirit pressure. His face was turning red and purple from the strain.

Within him, the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul stirred, but Tang San suppressed it with all his might. He couldn't afford to reveal his second martial soul, knowing these two figures had bad intentions.

But by suppressing the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San lost control of the Eight Spider Lances, which suddenly burst out from his back.

Before Dugu Bo could speak as planned, Su Ming acted surprised. "Whoa! Look at that! I didn't expect Tang Hao's son to have an external spirit bone!"

"This is quite the unexpected bonus! What do you think? If we take his spirit bone, wouldn't Tang Hao be furious?"

Dugu Bo was momentarily confused—the script had changed—but he quickly recovered. "Yes, quite the surprise! We couldn't find Tang Hao, so we thought we'd mess with his son. Now we've found an extra reward!"

Hearing this, Su Ming wanted to applaud Dugu Bo's quick thinking. He had just thought of this idea—to let Tang San know about Tang Hao's involvement and force Tang Hao into action sooner.

After all, there was still a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone hidden in Holy Spirit Village, meant for Tang San. If Tang San waited until after the Spirit Master tournament to absorb it, the talisman's effect would wear off, turning it into a regular hundred-year spirit bone.

And if Tang Hao grew suspicious, he might move the spirit bone, making it impossible for Su Ming to act.

However, knowing Tang Hao's temperament, if he discovered the bone after Tang San absorbed it, he might take drastic action against the villagers. Su Ming had to make sure to move the spirit bone before then.

 


Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Borrowing the Name of the Spirit Hall

Fortunately, the village didn't have many residents left; most of the younger people had already left due to the village's poverty. After this matter is resolved, Su Ming would need to return to the village, relocate Grandpa Jack and the remaining villagers, and find them a safe place to stay.

After all, Tang Hao had left the village for many years, and during that time, the villagers had dispersed. It would be reasonable to make the village appear deserted. Even if Tang Hao saw through it, it wouldn't matter as long as Grandpa Jack and the villagers were safe.

Hearing all this, Tang San was shocked. These two people were enemies of his father. He had always suspected that his father was not an ordinary man, but now it was confirmed!

Tang San, enduring the pain in his body, asked, "My father? Do you know something about my father?"

Su Ming smirked. The fish had taken the bait. "Oh? You don't know what kind of man your father is?"

"Well, let me tell you. Your father was a legend on this continent. At the age of 44, he became a Titled Douluo, the youngest ever on the continent."

"However, your father was in possession of a priceless treasure, which attracted the attention of the previous Spirit Hall Pope, Qian Xunji, who sent numerous spirit masters to hunt him down."

"The result? Your father, Tang Hao, severely wounded the Pope, who later died from his injuries. Because of this, your father had to go into hiding, or rather, avoid further pursuit."

"Spirit Hall couldn't find your father, so they went after his sect—Haotian Sect—and blamed them. Because of your father, the Haotian Sect was forced into seclusion."

"I must say, your father is truly powerful. Even though he was only level 89 at the time, he managed to fatally injure a Titled Douluo. And now, even though the current Pope, Bibi Dong, holds no personal grudge against him, your father still goes around challenging the Spirit Hall, killing their strong members. So, should we come after you?"

"Originally, the Pope had no intention of hunting down your father, but your father just had to keep stirring trouble for her!"

Dugu Bo was astonished by Su Ming's knowledge. It seemed Su Ming knew more than he did!

"Anyway, we can't take on Tang Hao directly, but since we can't find him, we'll just deal with his son. And look at that—an unexpected bonus! You've got an external spirit bone. We'll be taking that!"

Without hesitation, Su Ming moved behind Tang San and, gathering spirit power in his hands, snap! broke off two of the spider legs.

"Aaaargh!"

Although the Eight Spider Lances hadn't fully fused with Tang San, the pain of having them broken was excruciating.

"Does it hurt? Don't worry, there are still six more. Remember, this is the price you pay for your father's sins! This is what you deserve!"

Inwardly, Su Ming was amused. Bibi Dong, he thought, in the original story, Tang Hao and Tang San were going to be your enemies anyway, so I'll just borrow the name of your Spirit Hall for now. There shouldn't be any issue with that.

Su Ming didn't feel guilty at all. He was using the Spirit Hall's name for now, but in the future, his ambitions would require him to join Spirit Hall to make them a reality.

Bibi Dong:

Su Ming, feeling done with his fun, methodically broke the rest of the spider legs. Tang San's face showed pure hatred, but Su Ming couldn't care less—Tang San didn't know who he was anyway.

Finally, Su Ming plunged his hand into Tang San's back, pulled out the spirit bone, and tossed him out of the Kamui space. Tang San was no longer of any use.

Now, Su Ming's thoughts turned to Yu Xiaogang. Perhaps he would contact Tang Hao, or maybe Tang Hao would find out about Tang San's condition himself. Either way, it would lead to Tang Hao absorbing that spirit bone earlier than expected—what fun!

Dugu Bo and Su Ming then removed their masks. Dugu Bo sighed, "Little monster, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. Not only did you take his spirit bone, but you also tortured him. He must really hate the Spirit Hall now. You're quite devious... I like it!"

Su Ming glanced at the purplish-red blood on his hands with disgust. "Here, take this spirit bone and give it to Dugu Yan. The blood is poisonous, but that shouldn't be a problem for you, Old Monster."

Dugu Bo ignored Su Ming's comment. He pulled out a clean cloth and some water from his storage tool and began carefully cleaning the spirit bone. This bone was incredibly valuable. With it, Yan Yan's strength would undoubtedly take a significant leap forward.

However, Dugu Bo had a question. "Su Ming, why did you suddenly start saying all those things? Tang San probably thinks we're from the Spirit Hall now, right?"

Su Ming replied calmly, "It was a last-minute decision. We needed a legitimate reason for why we came after him and then let him go after taking his spirit bone. The explanation is simple: we're from Spirit Hall, and we fear his father's strength."

Dugu Bo chuckled, "Haha, you crafty little monster. Your plans are always so devious."

"Now, should we head back?" Dugu Bo asked.

Su Ming shook his head. "There's one more thing I need your help with, Old Monster. I want to go back to my birthplace, Holy Spirit Village. My grandfather is still there, and I want to bring him and the villagers closer to Heaven Dou City for their safety."

"I've already fallen out with Tang San, and if Tang Hao finds out, who knows what he might do. I need to be prepared for the worst."

"We'll move the villagers and make the village look abandoned, so Tang Hao will think they've all left."

Dugu Bo listened carefully, impressed by Su Ming's thoughtful and meticulous nature. He knew he hadn't misjudged Su Ming; his character was top-notch, and he always planned ahead.

"Alright, I'll accompany you. But most of the villagers are ordinary people with no spirit power. It won't be easy to move them, right? Are you planning to put them in this space?"

Su Ming shook his head. "This space is my secret, so it's best if not too many people know about it. However, I have this!" He said, showing his storage ring. "This ring can store living things. It might be a bit cramped for the villagers, but it'll work."
