Chương 39: Truth

Yu Xiaogang nodded and started speaking, "His mother was a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. She was one of the only ones in my age group who didn't awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, so we became childhood friend. After few years when she stepped became a adult, Qing Er was married to the young master of the Lei Clan, it was arranged by the Clan but it was good that those two also loved each other. So, nobody was unhappy about this arrangement."

"After their marriage, they had a son named Lei Feng, he was my nephew. I went to Lei Clan when was born and spoke with Qing'er and her husband Lei Yun. After 6 years, I get the news that Lei Clan was fully eradicated by someone. After that no information was known about that incident."

He then looked at Ryusei and said, "Tang San, you said that his name is Tian, but I don't think Qing'er had another son. So, either you were adopted or intentionally changed your name."

Ryusei sighed as he started speaking, "Well, you have a pretty good theory and analysis with such little information about this incident. I suppose it's about time I cleared your doubts one by one."

"First, my real name is Lei Feng, so that makes you are my uncle. I survived that massacre because of my grandmother's Spirit Ability, she used her Teleportation Ability to teleported me to save my life just in time."

At this point, everyone in the surrounding were in disbelief, they knew what this meant, that he was just a boy when he had lost his whole family in the massacre. They heard him continue, "The second is that, the one who attacked our Clan was SPIRIT HALL!"

Yu Xiaogang was surprised at this information and inquired him, "How are you so sure that they were from Spirit Hall?" Ryusei chuckled darkly as he said in a cold and detached tone with anger, "I did see the faces of the people who massacred my Clan. And the first sentence they said to my grandfather was 'The Spirit Hall got word about of your Grandson's immense talent. Let him come out so that we can take him to the Spirit Hall.'"

He then looked at Yu Xiaogang and said coldly, "Do you truly think, I would forget something like that?" He then took a deep breath to calm down his agitated mind and started speaking slowly, "From that point on, I have dedicated my whole life to becoming stronger to avenge my clan and purge Spirit Hall from this world."

Everyone sucked a breath of cold air as they heard his voice, from his voice, they could hear his resolution, his determination, his anger, his hatred. It was enough to scare Principal and Zhao Wuji as their bodies were trembling.

Yu Xiaogang then asked worriedly, "What did you do after you were teleported by your grandmother?" Ryusei looked at everyone's faces and they seemed like they too wanted to know his story, he could also see some doubts on their faces and knew that he would have to explain them sooner or later.

He let out a sigh and then looked towards Yu Xiaogang and said, "Let's settle down somewhere and I will tell you about this. My story is a bit long, so have some patience."

Everyone nodded and moved towards the academy hall and settled down, with each one of them waiting to listen to his story, Ryusei started speaking in a calm voice, "After my grandmother used her Teleportation Ability, I was teleported inside a lone jungle. I didn't know where I was and what to do as my mind was still in disbelief at everything that happened and couldn't think of anything else."

"After some time, I calmed down but I didn't know where to go. I got attacked by Spirit Beasts by I survived due to my powerful Spirit. Then I tried following the sound of a waterfall and reached that place where I heard someone slamming a tree and followed towards that sound."

"When I reached the place from where the noise was coming, I met Tang San there. As, I couldn't tell him anything about the Massacre of my Clan, I lied to him saying that I lost my big brother in the forest and I wanted to wait for him in the nearby village. It was so that I could go to a village to live for some time and train in the forest till, I could earn my own money and become strong enough to leave for some place to train."

"At his house, I met his father Tang Hao. When I heard his name, I had some suspicions about him as there were not many who used 'Tang' in their names because of the Clan named Tang. After Tang San went for his spirit awakening test, I revealed his identity as the Clear Sky Douluo."

"He seemed pretty shocked at first but after I told him about myself, he agreed to train me for few months because of our common hatred against the Spirit Hall. The next day, he left a letter for Tang San and explaining that he won't be back for a while."

He then turned towards Tang San and said, "I still feel guilty that your father left you behind for my selfish request. I apologise." Tang San raised his hand and said, "No, don't apologise. Its true that I missed my father but I don't think I would have done any different at that point. Besides, I going to leave for to the academy soon enough so even if he remained, I wouldn't have been able to meet my father."

Ryusei nodded and then looked towards everyone as he continued his story, "After leaving the village, we both went to the Star Dou Forest for my training. There I met Rongrong and her father. We talked briefly for some time during which which I explained my reasons. Then me and uncle Tang Hao started training in the forest and he trained me for 4 years."

"After 4 years, he left me as he wanted to do his own training and to do his own work. I then thought that maybe I should join a academy to train and gather information about the Spirit Hall."

"I also didn't want to stand out too much so no one could recognise me so I only had choices regarding the academies which were not famous. The Shrek Academy was the nearest with the smallest number of students in them so there was only a slight chance that my identity might get disclosed."

Everyone stayed silent as they processed his words and thought silently about it, Grandmaster was the only one who asked some questions, he asked Ryusei, "How did you deduce that Tang Hao was the Clear Sky Douluo? How did you make such plans at such a young age? If I remember correctly then you were just a 6-year-old-child at that time."

Principal Flender and all other's eyes widened as they thought about it, it was impossible for a young child to be so intelligent. No matter how intelligent a person was, he would always have some childish desires and naive thinking. How could Ryusei make these plans at such a young age?

There was only one answer!

He was surely helped by someone older than him, someone who had a common hatred against the Spirit Hall or someone who wanted Ryusei to do something for him and destroying Spirit Hall was the condition with which he made Ryusei accept the deal.

Ryusei remained calm when he heard Yu Xiaogang's question and said, "The hatred, the vengeance, the guilt and sorrow really help to calm the mind. It was the thing which calmed me and matured me. I knew that I couldn't make any mistake in the future so I took all the precautions I could."

He then looked towards Yu Xiaogang and said, "Besides, is it so surprising that I could deduce Tang Hao's identity? From what I have observed till now. You are a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"You haven't gone to Clan in many years otherwise you would have known some information about why my Clan was destroyed but since you don't, it can only mean that you left the clan. Whatever the reason were for your departure from the Clan, it was something very important and stressing for you."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for your healthy grey hairs to turn while. There are some grey hairs between your White hairs so it was easy to guess that you originally had Grey hairs. As for the reason for you leaving the Clan, it could be that you had a fight with your father or you left your wife for some reason for which you are incredibly stressed."

He then looked at the slight shock on Yu Xiaogang's face and said with a deadpan, "Now, is there a need for me to continue my deduction?" Yu Xiaogang gulped down a bit as he was now incredibly nervous, he looked towards Principal and asked him through his eyes as if he was saying 'Did you tell him something about me?'

Principal Flender shook his head hurriedly as he truly didn't tell Ryusei anything about Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang was now a bit frightened by Ryusei's intelligence as he knew that Flender wouldn't lie to him at this point.

It can only mean that Ryusei really did observed him and deduced this at his first meeting all by himself, now he was sure that it was indeed possible for him to deduce that Tang Hao was the Clear Sky Douluo.
