The cave echoed with Tang San's indifferent voice.
His eyes were incredibly sharp, as though they could pierce through the stone walls and see into the distance.
"Luo Yu, just you wait."
"I am now a completely changed person, my strength has undergone a total transformation, with both of my Twin Martial Souls unleashed, I'm even a bit scared of myself when I go all out."
"The next time we meet, I'll see what arrogance you have left to show me."
"On the stage of the Senior Soul Master contest, I will crush your pride bit by bit and make you kneel there and repent for having once scorned me."
"I'll prove to Xiaowu with absolute strength that she was the one who misjudged, and if I make my move, you won't even have the chance to kneel and beg for mercy."
"Bang!"
Tang Hao's large hand slapped onto Tang San's shoulder.
"That's enough."
"The strong are reserved in speech, and act rather than talk."
"Don't make big speeches here, no matter how much you say, it's just a waste of breath, that boy can't even hear you."
"Why not save your energy for the competition, and take pleasure in smashing him with one hammer blow?"
Tang San's eyes sparked, and he clenched his fists as Soul Light surged.
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't let you down."
Tang Hao shook his head, a buzz in his voice, "If you don't want to disgrace me, then bring back the title of the number one in the entire continent."
"Don't worry, son is confident."
"In this competition, if I don't take first place, I will not be worthy to face you."
Tang San replied succinctly and confidently.
With lofty pride and high spirits.
"Then I'll be looking forward to it," Tang Hao said with a satisfied smile, the corners of his mouth turning up.
"Dad, what skill did you just say you were going to teach me?" Tang San asked curiously.
Tang Hao stood tall, his face showing a proud expression.
"Our family has been passing down a magical skill from generation to generation."
"This skill is known as the Big Xumi Hammer, shaking the heavens and earth, unsurpassed in its dominance, and can truly unleash the full power of our Hao Tian Hammer."
"Once you learn this skill and fully unleash it, no one of the same level will be able to stand against you."
Tang San's breathing quickened, his face filled with anticipation and longing.
"That strong? If I learn it, won't that Luo Yu be finished?"
"Dad, you've been keeping such an ace up your sleeve?"
Tang Hao gave him a look.
"You are my son, wouldn't I pass on anything good to you?"
"It's just that you're not yet strong enough for the Big Xumi Hammer, so I can't pass it on to you for now."
"However, to make you stand out in this competition and suppress all rivals, I've specially simplified this skill for you, and you can learn the simplified version right now."
The excitement on Tang San's face gradually faded, leaving him somewhat dispirited, he drew out his words.
"A simplified version, huh..."
Tang Hao slapped him on the back of the head, his tiger-like eyes glaring.
"You're looking down on the simplified version?"
"Once you master this skill, I'll add five high-aged ten-thousand-year Soul Rings to your Hao Tian Hammer. When the five Soul Rings explode together, you could instantly smash and obliterate even a Soul Sage."
"No exaggeration, Soul Land will be shaken by your talent."
"Then the Hao Tian Clan will certainly welcome us father and son back with open arms."
"As for that boy named Luo Yu, he's not even worth mentioning."
"Even without deploying the magical skill, by then you will have five ten-thousand-year Soul Rings."
"With the Twin Martial Souls unleashed and the Soul Rings activated, he would be scared to death, and you could obliterate him with just a flick of your finger."
Tang San expressed some concerns, "Dad, can I really absorb that many ten-thousand-year Soul Rings?"
Tang Hao glanced at him, "If I say you can, then you can."
"Your mother's soul bone wasn't absorbed by you for nothing."
Tang San smiled, his smile bright and revealing a row of white teeth.
"Luo Yu, I'm really looking forward to the next time we meet."
"At that time, I think, it will be very interesting."
Tang Hao interrupted, "Let's start practicing this simplified version of the magical skill."
"Then we'll go see your aunt."
"My aunt?" Tang San was puzzled.
Tang Hao smiled, "Your Aunt Tang Yuehua, despite being born with a deficient Martial Soul and not much strength, holds a very high position in Tiandou City."
"It just so happens that the Senior Soul Master competition is also being held in Tiandou City, so we'll stop by and pay her a visit."
"With her help, search for the traces of the thief who stole your mother."
Tang San hesitated, "Dad, you haven't seen Auntie for so many years, could it be possible the feelings have faded? Are you sure she will help us?"
"Shut up."
Tang Hao's face was stern as he shook his head repeatedly.
"What are you joking about? That's my dear sister. If she doesn't help her own brother, who else would she help?"
"Could she possibly help some other strangers?"
"That's impossible!"
Tang Hao said with a smile, "Once we get there, she will definitely treat us father and son with great hospitality, and we can also make use of Auntie's influence to help investigate the thief's tracks."
"That would be great."
Tang San revealed a look of relief, but soon hesitated again.
"Dad, if you have such a good relationship with Auntie, why haven't I ever heard you mention her over the years, and you haven't gone to see her either?"
"This..."
Tang Hao was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to respond.
He raised his large hand toward the back of Tang San's head and gave it a forceful slap.
"Kids shouldn't ask too many questions, just focus on your cultivation."
...
"Clatter, clatter!"
On the smooth official road, wooden wheels rolled, crushing the earth beneath them.
Sitting in the wheelchair was an exceedingly handsome man with profound black eyes and a divine glow on his face; his tied-up black hair fully displayed his appearance as a banished immortal, without a trace of sickness.
Next to him, an incredibly beautiful woman with elegant demeanor and captivating figure, wearing pointed high heels, walked. The blue-gold skirt revealed her fair legs in their entirety.
She was attentively pushing the wheelchair from behind, occasionally looking at the man with tender affection.
"Achoo."
Luo Yu sneezed and rubbed his nose for a moment.
He muttered to himself.
Who's talking about me behind my back, again?
Could it be Dong'er, Zhu Qing, Yuehua, these delicate wives, or Tang San and his son, who never seem to learn from their beatings?
At that moment, a soft and sweet voice came from beside him.
"Husband, we're soon reaching the nearest city."
Reminded by Ah Yin, Luo Yu looked up into the distance.
A thousand meters away, a towering city gate stood tall, exuding grandeur.
Strangely, the bricks and stones that made up the city wall bore deep blue patterns. Even from afar, one could feel the water attribute energy was more intense here.
Noticing the inscription above the city gate, Luo Yu was mildly surprised.
"Is this Tian Shui City?"
Ah Yin's blue eyes flashed with confusion, "What's wrong, husband? Have you been here before?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "I haven't been here, but I've heard of it."
If he remembered correctly, in Soul Land there was a high-level soul master academy for girls.
From the teachers to the students, every one of them was female.
Moreover, if one's looks weren't remarkably beautiful, the academy wouldn't accept them.
Which man wouldn't be curious about such an academy? He was no exception.
His intentions were quite simple: just to have a look from the outside without going in.
Ah Yin urged, "Husband, let's hurry over. In such a large city, the hotels must not be too shabby."
Luo Yu turned to look at the charming Ah Yin and teased her with a smile,
"What's the matter? Is our dear Ah Yin now so eager to take me to a hotel room?"
Ah Yin blushed, "Stop it, I'm not having any of those bad thoughts you do. I just want to find a quiet place to help my sister Transform quickly."
Luo Yu said, "Don't you know it's dangerous for a man and a woman to be alone in a hotel?"
"It's not just the two of us, there's also my sister, right?" Ah Yin's lips moved as she spoke.
"Don't you think that makes it even more dangerous..."
Luo Yu's mouth curved up as he gave her a deep look.
"Tsk, always scaring me. I believe my husband wouldn't do anything inappropriate in front of my sister."
Ah Yin smiled sweetly.
Channeling her soul power, she quickly proceeded with Luo Yu, and soon they successfully entered the city.
As they first set foot inside the gates and stepped onto the bustling streets of Tian Shui City, before they even had the chance to take in their surroundings,
the system's prompt resounded in Luo Yu's mind.
[Congratulations to the host on setting foot in Tian Shui City, activating the hidden mission!]
