Seeing Tang San glaring at him fiercely, Hao Yun chuckled, "Don't be so angry. That was just a friendly spar. If you're not satisfied, you can challenge me again next time. I'll be waiting for you."
Chapter 48 Tang Hao Comes for Revenge
This was the first time Tang San had encountered such a despicable person who even had a reason for hitting him.
"Fine, you wait!"
Anyone can talk tough, Hao Yun said, curling his lip. "At your cultivation speed, it will take you at least a few years to catch up with me. By then, I will either be gone or invincible. You'll have no chance of defeating me then."
As soon as the two entered the academy, the master followed them up, and Hao Yun called out to him.
"Master, there's a promising student here. Would you like to take him on as your apprentice?"
Upon hearing Hao Yun's words, the master looked at Tang San.
"Your brother?"
Before Hao Yun could answer, Tang San preemptively answered the question.
"no!"
“Master, this is his Spirit Hall certificate. Take him to complete the enrollment procedures. After all, you are a teacher at this school.”
After handing Tang San's Spirit Hall certificate to Grandmaster, Hao Yun stood aside and began to watch the spectacle.
As expected, the master's moment to show off arrived. With a string of words, he successfully intimidated Tang San, who immediately bowed down and the two became master and disciple.
The master just said that Tang San has twin martial souls, but he whispered it in Tang San's ear and didn't let Hao Yun hear it.
However, Hao Yun, who knew the plot, already knew that Tang San had twin martial souls; he just wanted to see Grandmaster show off.
"Master, I'm going to hunt soul beasts tomorrow. Will you come with me and help me identify the types and ages of the soul beasts?"
Before Hao Yun could finish speaking, the master was about to refuse, but he swallowed the words back down.
Tang San possesses twin martial souls and is born with full soul power, so Grandmaster plans to take him hunting soul beasts in the next couple of days. Originally, he wasn't very confident, but now that he can bring Hao Yun along, it's a good option.
The master had this idea simply because yesterday, Hao Yun casually threw a huge boulder that was blocking the way on campus into the back mountain.
At that time, Hao Yun had not yet activated his martial soul. According to the master's calculations, Hao Yun's strength was at least level 40 or 50, and he might also have a soul bone.
Ordinary Soul Masters, without activating their Martial Soul, are not particularly powerful, and only a small percentage of them will temper their bodies.
The master had never seen anyone as young as Hao Yun with such great strength before.
"Okay, but I need to bring one person with me."
Hao Yun replied to the master's answer, saying that it was no problem. "It's just Tang San, I'll bring him along, as long as it doesn't interfere with my ability to attach spirit rings."
After bidding farewell to the master, Hao Yun returned to his room to begin cultivating the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon. As for how he acquired the room, Hao Yun stated that with the money in place, everything was fine.
Hao Yun, who was cultivating, felt that he was about to complete the third chapter of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, and the tempering of his internal organs was basically coming to an end.
"Kid, get out here right now! I want to have a go at you!"
The speaker was none other than Tang Hao. He had followed Tang San all the way to the academy, and when Hao Yun was spanking Tang San, he wanted to rush out.
Later, seeing that Hao Yun meant no harm, he held back. Just after finishing some things with the master, Tang Hao couldn't wait to come and seek revenge on Hao Yun.
The voice echoed in Hao Yun's ears, startling him so much that he jumped up. Seeing the window wide open, Hao Yun swallowed hard and instantly realized, "Damn it! I've completely forgotten about Tang Hao."
"Aren't you coming out yet!"
This low shout forced Hao Yun to leave the room and follow Tang Hao toward the back mountain.
"Since you enjoy sparring so much, come on, let's have a spar."
The newcomer was Tang Hao. He beckoned to Hao Yun, signaling him to attack.
"Uncle, it can't be that bad."
Hao Yun doesn't have a masochistic fetish. Tang Hao is a Title Douluo. Even if he's injured or weak, he's still at the pinnacle of martial power on this continent.
Hao Yun didn't think he could beat him right now unless he cultivated the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon to the fifth level and gained the power of a dragon. Maybe then he could put up a fight with him.
"No way! Just come when I tell you to, or I might take action!"
Tang Hao snorted. "You hit my son, so of course I'll hit you back."
"I'm sorry."
Hao Yun rushed forward, hooked his left foot on the ground, kicked up a handful of yellow earth, and then used Wing Chun to strike Tang Hao at close range.
With his extensive combat experience, Tang Hao closed his eyes, turned to the side, and delivered a whip kick that made the air whistle.
Hao Yun reacted quickly, hurriedly stretching out his arms to block. With a bang, Hao Yun was slid more than three meters away, leaving two deep grooves in the ground with his legs.
"What immense power!"
Muttering something to himself, Hao Yun charged forward again, only to be knocked back by another muffled thud.
Tang Hao stood still, kicking his legs like a windmill, constantly interrupting Hao Yun's attacks.
After launching more than ten consecutive attacks, Hao Yun realized that his physical abilities were about the same as Tang Hao's, but his combat experience was far less extensive than Tang Hao's.
The opponent's long legs forced me to stay completely at bay, and I couldn't use any of my Wing Chun close-quarters fighting skills. I couldn't even touch the opponent, so what was the point of fighting?
Hao Yun stood still and stopped attacking. There was no point in continuing the fight. As long as Tang Hao didn't use his martial soul, even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be beaten too badly.
"You've got some skills, but you're still too weak!"
A series of spirit rings emerged from Tang Hao's body. He held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and walked step by step toward Hao Yun.
The overwhelming aura made Hao Yun unable to lift his head. He moved his body with difficulty and muttered to himself, "Is this what a Title Douluo is? He's really strong. I don't even have a chance to escape."
Facing Tang Hao, Hao Yun felt like he was facing Fahai; regardless of who was stronger, he couldn't beat either of them.
With his legs taut, Hao Yun channeled his magical power to the extreme, preparing to escape. If Tang Hao attacked him, he would throw pepper powder and run away.
Hao Yun's system backpack was filled with a lot of seasonings, such as pepper powder and chili powder, and now it finally had another use.
Under Tang Hao's oppressive aura, the Chaos Demonic Ape Martial Soul suddenly emerged, helping Hao Yun share some of the pressure.
"Hmm? No spirit rings, that's interesting."
Tang Hao stood in front of Hao Yun and slapped Hao Yun's shoulder hard with his right hand, almost breaking Hao Yun's bones.
"You're quite good, but your gaze is dangerous when facing someone of a higher level than you; you'll die."
The calm voice reached Hao Yun's ears, making him tremble. A strong killing intent rushed towards him, as if he would die at Tang Hao's hands at any moment.
"If you dare to lay a hand on my son again, you know the consequences."
After saying this, Tang Hao's figure disappeared into the back mountain.
The oppressive aura dissipated, and Hao Yun gasped for breath. "Whew! I'm finally alive. Tang Hao wasn't really trying to kill me, was he? Ouch! My shoulder."
When I lifted her clothes, I saw that her shoulder was swollen and a bright red handprint was clearly visible.
"That was ruthless."
Muttering to himself, Hao Yun turned and walked back, thinking to himself, "I don't believe you can keep watching Tang San forever. In a couple of days, I'll drag him out to spar every day."
Early the next morning, Grandmaster brought Tang San to find Hao Yun. The three of them took a carriage straight to the Star Dou Great Forest. Hao Yun didn't care about other places.
He wanted to add a ten-thousand-year spirit ring to his first spirit ring. If he could defeat a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, Hao Yun would have even wanted to add a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring to his first spirit ring.
Chapter 49: Obtaining the Soul Ring
In fact, Grandmaster did not agree with going to the Star Dou Great Forest. His strength was too weak to effectively protect Tang San.
However, after Hao Yun had a private conversation with the master, the master reluctantly agreed to Hao Yun's proposal.
It took a long time to reach the Star Dou Great Forest. The three of them changed carriages several times and it took them more than ten days to finally arrive at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Before entering the forest, the master held Tang San's hand and repeatedly gave him instructions.
"Little San, when we go in, stay by your teacher's side. This is the Star Dou Great Forest, which is different from other soul beast forests. There are many soul beasts here, and even on the outskirts, you may encounter a ten-thousand-year soul beast."
"If you encounter this, run immediately when I tell you to, don't look back, and leave the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible. If we haven't come out after a day, return to the academy."
Hearing the master's serious words, Tang San nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Let's go, I'm here, everything will be fine."
Hao Yun was full of confidence. With his current strength, he was no match for ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Yesterday, after being overwhelmed by Tang Hao's imposing aura, Hao Yun discovered that he had broken through to the third chapter of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, and he has now begun cultivating the fourth chapter.
The fourth chapter is entirely about refining the physical body and accumulating power. The chapter will be considered complete when the Nine Tigers Power is cultivated.
After achieving perfection, he cultivated the fifth chapter, merging the power of the nine tigers into one dragon, possessing the Heavenly Dragon and the physical body of a celestial being. In this world, Hao Yun felt he could sweep away everything.
However, cultivating the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon is extremely difficult. Without the aid of spiritual medicine, it would take at least several decades, or even longer, to develop the power of the Nine Tigers.
The three of them entered the Star Dou Great Forest together. Grandmaster summoned his martial soul, the Three Cannons, a mutated Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. In fact, Grandmaster's martial soul was very powerful, but it had not yet evolved.
The Iron Triangle combination, with Sanpao as the main force, is able to evolve into a Golden Sacred Dragon. This indicates that Sanpao has the bloodline of the Golden Sacred Dragon, but his ability was insufficient during the mutation, leading to the failure of the mutation.
This Star Dou Great Forest is a completely undeveloped primeval jungle, with many places still shrouded in white mist. Usually, the master would lead Hao Yun and Tang San to avoid such areas.
The spirit beasts they encountered along the way were mostly ten years old, and the master patiently explained them to the two of them.
"Hey, Xiao San, did you see that? This is a bamboo stalk that's over 200 years old. It's tough and a bit aggressive. Don't get too close, or you might get attacked."
In the bamboo forest, a large bamboo stalk, dark green all over and more than ten meters tall, came into the three people's view.
"Teacher, can it become my spirit ring?"
"Of course, but it's not the best choice. Remember the location. If we can't find a suitable spirit ring for you, we'll come back to it."
The master patiently explained to Tang San, completely ignoring Hao Yun who was looking around.
"Little San, you must remember that a martial soul can only be equipped with a maximum of nine spirit rings, so each spirit ring must be carefully selected, otherwise it will affect your future achievements. If you have the ability, you must choose the spirit ring that is closest to the limit of lifespan, and at the same time, you must choose the one that is most suitable for you."
At this moment, Sanpao let out a series of urgent cries, warning everyone that danger was approaching.
In the jungle, a large black and red spider silently approached. When it realized it had been discovered, it stopped hiding, leaped out of the bushes, raised its rear end, and sprayed a bunch of silk threads at the three of them.
"Wolfsbane Spider!"
