章 197: Chapter 196 Tang Hao’s persuasion, the situation changed (2 in 1)
Seeing this, two team members quickly ran onto the ring and lifted Feng Xiaotian, who was still petrified, towards the outside of the ring.
During this process, the greyish-white colour around Feng Xiaotian's body faded down a little bit, and when he returned to his seat, the whole person started to speak with a somewhat stiff expression.
"Let's practice our fighting skills in the next battle on the ground."
The advantage of their battle team was that all of them could fly, but fighting with the two flying Spirit Kings of the Skywalker Battle Team was definitely a recipe for masochism. Fighting against the ones that couldn't fly, their side had the advantage of using their flying ability again. Losing is definitely losing, this must be admitted, but the opportunity to spar is rare, and cannot be wasted.
Practising fighting skills in a ground battle is also good, where to find such good sparring partners like the Skywalker Battle Team.
Thinking like this, he craned his neck, turned his head to look at Lin Manshan on the other side, and reached out to point to the location.
The latter understood, nodded his head slightly, and went to call Dugu Yan off the ring, and instructed Yu Hairou to go on the ring.
Thus, the two teams happily initiated a friendly match.
Near the end of the evening, the final match of the advancement round was declared over, and the host announced that Skywalker Academy had won.
After the members of the two teams returned to their respective seats, Xue Ye rose from his seat and delivered an impassioned speech. It was then announced that the upcoming finals would be led by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe on his behalf, who would head to the finals' competition venue, Spirit City, to preside over the judging process, the teams from all the academies only have three days to rest and make adjustments, and after three days, the fifteen teams would set off with the Imperial Knights as their escorts.
After Xue Ye finished his speech, Ning Fengzhi and Salas made their speeches one after another. The host then took over the reins and announced that the promotion tournament had come to a successful conclusion. After it was finished, the teams from each academy began to leave the venue in order under the guidance of guards.
However, because the adjustment time was only three days, the academy teams from the distant duchies didn't leave the hunting grounds but chose to stay on the spot and wait. On the other hand, the teams whose academies were already on the periphery of Heaven Dou City chose to leave and return to the academy, and the same was true for the Skywalker Battle Team.
Led by Lin Manshan and Dugu Bo, the group returned to the academy in a vast array of carriages.
The Shrek Academy carriage, on the other hand, was heading in another direction. There was Tang Hao following behind it.
Late at night, Shrek Academy.
The familiar hilltop, with fine and dense vegetation, which were ruffled and quivered by the night breeze, and was wet and moist. Under the moonlight, Tang San sat quietly, his eyes blankly and listlessly looking into the distance, his hands clutched the green grass on both sides, kneading it into fine crumbs, the juice squeezed out from the cracks of his fingers without him realising it.
Soon, a slightly disappointed murmur came from behind him. "Did such a little setback make you admit defeat?"
Tang San turned his head, gritting his teeth, " Father, I..."
This time, Tang Hao didn't chastise him much, but slowly walked up and blandly said, "Xiao San, have you ever thought about it? When you cultivate to Titled Douluo realm with your Blue Silver Grass martial soul and then attach a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, what will happen?"
Tang San instantly thought of a certain possibility, his expression changed, "Father, what do you mean?"
Tang Hao turned his head to look at Tang San, "By that time, with your Titled Douluo level cultivation, if you can find a few high-age spirit bones to absorb and continue to strengthen your physical body. Your Clear Sky Hammer martial soul would be able to absorb at least 10,000-year-old spirit rings or even 50,000 or 100,000 years."
"And absorbing spirit rings can strengthen the physical body in turn, which means that you can continue to keep absorbing high years of spirit rings, and I'm sure you can guess what that would mean."
"And this is exactly what I've been expecting from you all along, and the reason why I didn't let you cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul first in the beginning."
"And when you complete this feat, do you think that Lin Manshan will still be your opponent?"
"Naturally impossible!" Tang San immediately brightened up, putting aside the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the first spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer would be able to reach the ten thousand-year class or even higher, and the number of years that those nine spirit rings would add up iteratively as well as the enhancement to oneself would be simply unimaginable.
I'm afraid that with only my cultivation and physical strength, I can easily defeat Lin Manshan without using spirit skills.
It turns out that father has considered so much for me, and expects so much from me!
Then he heard Tang Hao continue, ''Blue Silver Grass is not a martial soul that excels in attacking, and your current Clear Sky Hammer martial soul doesn't have any spirit rings attached to it, so losing to Lin Manshan is just something to be expected. Xiao San, you have to remember that cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to Titled Douluo at an early date is your most pressing goal right now, and after that, that's when your talent really kicks in."
"Let him, Lin Manshan, be as intelligent as he is and create as many self-created skills as he wants, in front of absolute power, everything is vain."
"Father, I understand." Tang San nodded, his face blooming with confidence again.
"Also, perhaps even you haven't realised that after these few failures, your strength has progressed quite significantly." Tang Hao nodded slightly, "So don't worry about failure. No matter who you face, just fight to the best of your ability. Battles, no matter whether you succeed or fail, will make you focus on improving yourself, as well as allowing you to comprehend more, and that's the reason why I haven't objected to you participating in the Spirit Master Tournament so far."
If you don't experience this now, how will you be able to survive in the future where failure means death. Tang Hao sighed inwardly.
"Father." Tang San's eyes reddened, in his impression, his father Tang Hao had always been strict, but only now did he realise that every step his father Tang Hao made had a deeper meaning in it and that he had been thinking about him. He also saw for the first time that his father, Tang Hao, put down his harsh tone and talked to him like an elder, and every word and sentence was full of fatherly love.
"Tidy up and hurry back to rest." Saying that Tang Hao's brows tightened as he continued, "When the continent-wide spirit master tournament is over, we still have more important things to do, and the current you are still far from meeting my requirements."
"Yes, Father, I will definitely work hard." Tang San also straightened his face.
"As for that piece of wisdom skull that's over 50,000 years old, don't worry, Father has his own plans." Tang Hao said indifferently.
Tang San's face instantly looked happy, and then with a flash before his eyes, Tang Hao disappeared from his side.
"Hmph, the first few rounds of the finals are more of a team elimination match, it's not certain who will lose and who will win." Tang San clenched his fist full of grass pulp, and hastily wiped it on the fresh grass blades next to him, "Cough." The tendon injuries were immediately stretched, and he lightly coughed out.
Coldness immediately surged in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice, "Lin Manshan, this vengeance, I, Tang San, will report it sooner or later!"
After saying that, carefully supporting his body, he turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
A long time later, in the early hours of the morning.
Inside the bedroom of the small courtyard at the back of Skywalker Academy, Lin Manshan was quietly lying in the middle of a large skin-coloured bed, his entire body was enveloped by a soft quilt, only revealing his head.
"Kiki." A few cries suddenly sounded outside the window.
Lin Manshan, who had a feeling in his heart, slowly opened his eyes and jerked his right hand to rub his somewhat swollen temples, "Eh?" The hand was pressed a little tightly.
Dropping his head to take a look, he closed his eyes again, sighed and murmured, "It's better to wait until tomorrow morning to get up before inspecting the information."
Because there was only a three-day break before departing to Spirit City to participate in the finals of the continent-wide Spirit Master Tournament, after returning to the academy after leading the team yesterday, he announced a three-day holiday right on the spot, to celebrate the victory he also personally cooked a proper table meal. Zhu Zhuyun then moved a few jars of fruit wine from the cellar where he stored medicinal wine to feast on.
He usually focuses on cultivation and rarely drinks alcohol, but yesterday he also drank a lot, mainly because he couldn't bear to refuse Zhu Zhuyun who took the lead in the toast, and then the rest of the team followed the toast, so he drank twelve cups of wine in a round of down.
Unexpectedly, the aftertaste is quite big, when the wind blows even he is a bit confused. After everyone went back to their rooms, he was also assisted by Zhu Zhuyun to go back to the bedroom and sleep early.
As expected of a woman who once wanted to be the Crown Princess, she was involved in a lot of socialising, and her drinking capacity was really good. Dugu Bo is also nothing, after having enough to eat and drink, he runs away directly.
Hey, last night he was drunk, so it was a loss!
The next day, as the sun rises in the east, the beam of light hits the bed from the window opening, dazzling the eyes, with a gentle warmth. Lin Manshan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the empty bed, got up, dressed and got out of bed, walked to the window.
"Kiki..." A magpie bird suddenly flew out from among the leaves in the distance, fluttering its wings and landing on the windowsill.
'Looks like Tang Hao isn't prepared to get the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone at this time.' Releasing the bird into the sky, Lin Manshan fell into thought, 'That's right, Tang San can definitely break through level 50 if he absorbs the 100,000-year-old spirit bone right now, so whether or not to absorb the spirit ring next becomes a problem.'
'If he wishes to absorb it, first, there's no time to spare, the Blue Silver King's location isn't close to Heaven Dou City.'
'In addition, looking for the Blue Silver King to condense the fifth spirit ring, means that there will be a second awakening of the martial soul, which will change the appearance greatly, and then it will be impossible to continue to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament.'
'Of course, Tang Hao might not know about the fact that the second awakening of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul would lead to a big change in appearance.'
'However, the absorbed fifth spirit ring is something that can be easily recognised. So, from Tang Hao's perspective, if Bibi Dong knew that Tang San had already broken through to Spirit King, she would probably find a way to send someone strong to attack and kill them, the risk is a bit high.'
'And if he doesn't absorb the fifth spirit ring, with Tang San's current strength, absorbing the spirit bone won't improve his strength much either. After all, Tang San's strength today is barely enough to be a Spirit King, and the boost to physical strength brought about by absorbing a spirit bone won't be too high, the lower limit is placed there. Moreover, spirit bone skills can't be used either, especially flight skills, the spirit bones with flight skills are all of the highest quality, it would be too eye-catching.'
"Heh, I didn't think that the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who spends his life like he is the sky and the earth will become cautious as well."
'In addition, Tang Hao's insistence on letting Tang San participate in the continent-wide Spirit Master Tournament surprisingly also has the intention of preparing him to enter the Killing City in the future, thinking quite far ahead.'
After pondering, Lin Manshan slightly shook his head and quietly thought, 'It doesn't matter, with Tang Hao's injuries, sooner or later there will be a day when he will be forced to take the spirit bone to resolve the issue, and at that time, he will have to open the lead box after all.'
"Heh, it's best if Tang San is also there at that time."
'Well, the exact location of the Blue Silver King is still uncertain. If Tang Hao doesn't die now, he'll still be able to bring Tang San with him later, and I'll be able to take the opportunity to confirm the Blue Silver King's location at that time. In addition, the original Blue Silver King helped Tang San with the second awakening of his martial soul, and as a result, he himself also perceived the opportunity to bring his bloodline one step closer. This will also be beneficial for Lingling when she absorbs his spirit ring in the future, it's not really a loss.'
'Moreover, if Tang San can really clear the Killing City, he'll definitely go to Moon Pavilion at that time, and then his position can be repositioned. After Tang San leaves the Moon Pavilion, he will definitely go to that waterfall to look for Tang Hao again, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to keep watch and kill Tang San.'
'And he happens to be in the middle of nowhere.'
'However...' Lin Manshan's thoughts spun again, 'There's still the Xiao Wu factor to consider, after the Spirit Master Tournament is over, will Tang Hao choose to let Xiao Wu stay in Shrek Academy or Moon Pavilion before taking Tang San to the Killing City, or will he point out Xiao Wu's identity and let her return to the Star Dou Great Forest? If she didn't return, then naturally I could directly finish off Tang San. Whereas if she returns, this can be something to make use of.'
'If Tang San can't find Tang Hao, he'll probably go to Xiao Wu instead. Heh, a human having a private meeting with a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, with two untransformed 100,000-year-old spirit beasts standing next to them, that's big news with high value.'
"Hmm, when we get to Spirit City, we'll have to stop by and ask Bibi Dong for a few Image Retention Stones as a backup."
Between his thoughts, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the house, 'Also, I'm afraid I'll have to guard against Tang Hao for some time in the future. That wisdom skull, Tang Hao is ready to kill and seize the bone by the looks of it, if I get it, I will definitely be targeted.'
"However, how is this not an opportunity?"
Stepping out of the room and entering the living room, twelve little heads surrounded the dining table in a circle, chattering and gossiping and they seemed to have heard the door open and turned their heads one after another to look over.
The group of flowers was a delightful sight to behold.
***
Two days later, the three-day rest period ended, and the academies' teams gathered at the large hunting ground. After a little bit of rest, escorted by five hundred Imperial Knights sergeants, a large force of thousands of people set off in great numbers under the watchful eyes of Xue Ye and a group of ministers.
In order to allow the contestants to have a better rest, the Imperial Family specially made a total of fifteen luxury giant carriages, the interior of which was made using some basic spirit tool technology, the shock absorption effect is very good, so that people sitting on it will feel very stable.
The soundproofing effect was also excellent, so as long as the special windows were pulled down, the major teams could feel at ease and discuss the tactics needed for the finals inside.
Of course, in addition to the carriages that were prepared for the participants, there were also some carriages that some others brought with them, such as Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe who had prepared their own carriages. There was also Dugu Bo, who didn't want to look at Lin Manshan's love talk, so he prepared another carriage to ride along with his travelling assistant, Shui Zilu. As for the academy, with the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan as well as the Skywater Branch, there was no need to worry.
The carriage moved forward slowly, its wheels rolling.
"Sister Huo Wu, you're looking for me for something?" Feng Xiaotian burrowed into the Blazing Academy carriage under the lead of Huo Wushuang.
"Brother, please get off with everyone else first, I have something to say to Feng Xiaotian." Huo Wu said all of a sudden.
Feng Xiaotian's face instantly became a bit constrained, while Huo Wushuang on the opposite side nodded and led his teammates out of the carriage.
Huo Wu was the first to speak, "Brother Feng, how far do you think, our team can go in the next finals?"
"."
Not long after, Feng Xiaotian walked out of the carriage with a contemplative face. While behind him, Huo Wu was quietly looking at his distant back, her eyes flickering as her heart fluttered.
"No matter what decision I make, are you willing to support me and accompany me all the way?"
In the next second, she smiled lightly and couldn't help but murmur out in a low voice, "What a fool."
"Sister, what are you mumbling about?" Huo Wushuang ran over bumblingly.
Huo Wu blurted out, "Nothing!"
Huo Wushuang scratched his head, "???"
