Chapter 156 By any means necessary
Tiandou City, Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang sat by the window, gazing at the sky from time to time, sighing deeply incessantly.
"So much time has passed, I wonder how the mistress is doing now, but with His Majesty Haotian around, her safety shouldn't be a problem!"
After saying that, the image of Tang Hao with his severed arm suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yu Xiaogang's gaze darkened, but this was the only way he could console himself.
"Oh!"
The door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, and Flander rushed in with a look of surprise on his face.
"Xiaogang, look who's here!"
"Who is it?" Yu Xiaogang subconsciously looked towards the door.
As the cane touched the ground, Tang San slowly walked out from behind Flander, looked at that familiar stiff face, and smiled faintly.
"Teacher, I'm back!"
"Is it really you, mistress?"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up, his movement so forceful that he knocked over a chair, but he ignored it and stared intently at his disciple.
Upon discovering Tang San's current state—empty sleeves, empty trouser legs, and the cane in his hand—his expression changed.
"Mistress, what happened to your hands and legs?"
Yu Xiaogang strode forward, grasped Tang San's empty sleeve, and began to tremble uncontrollably.
Why has my once spirited and talented disciple become such a pathetic figure?
Tang San paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The atmosphere gradually became somber, until Flander finally broke the silence.
"Don't stand at the door, let's go inside and talk!"
"Yes, mistress, come inside!"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and pulled Tang San into the room to sit down, while Flander closed the door behind him.
"Mistress, what exactly happened after the competition ended?"
Tang San took a deep breath and began to recall that painful experience.
"After the competition ended, my dad and I were hunted down..."
As the story unfolded, Yu Xiaogang and Flander learned everything that had happened to Tang San. However, upon learning of Tang Hao's death, both of them widened their eyes almost simultaneously.
"Even His Majesty the Jade Emperor..."
He was once the youngest Title Douluo on the continent, and I never expected him to die like this.
"The mistress, you..."
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to say something, Tang San shook his head first.
"Teacher, I'm fine. I won't be discouraged by this. Lin Chuan killed my father and cut off my limbs. I will definitely avenge him in this lifetime, or I will be unworthy to be a son!"
Flander and Yu Xiaogang exchanged a glance, both seeing the deeper meaning in each other's eyes.
"It's good that you think this way, mistress, but there's no rush to take revenge. Don't let hatred blind you."
"I understand, that's why I came back specifically to see you, teacher!"
Tang San remained expressionless as always, but his eyes suddenly regained some sparkle.
With a wave of his hand, the Haotian Hammer appeared in his palm.
"Teacher, my Clear Sky Hammer is in this state now. Do you have any way to repair it?"
"This……"
Yu Xiaogang was stumped for a moment.
Although he had previously read many of the Spirit Hall's treasured books, there was not much information about how to repair a damaged spirit.
Ultimately, martial spirits are quite complex, and it's not easy to fully understand them.
However, facing the gazes of Tang San and Flander, he naturally couldn't say he was powerless. His not-so-healthy brain raced as he tried to think of a response.
After a while.
Having carefully considered his words, Yu Xiaogang spoke in a deep voice, "A martial soul is a very complex thing, and it can even be said to be the origin of a soul master. Repairing it is undoubtedly as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Xiao Gang, is there really no way even you can do it?"
Flander was also somewhat depressed. Tang San was, after all, his best student, and he naturally did not want to see his student wither away before fully realizing his potential.
"Not really."
Yu Xiaogang shook his head, and his words immediately drew the attention of the two men.
Flander urged hurriedly, "If you have a solution, just tell me! Your indecisiveness is driving me crazy!"
"Based on my research, and in addition to all the records in the past, martial spirits can evolve through external forces, so it is naturally no problem to repair them with the help of external forces."
"Just like Poison Douluo, his martial soul evolved. If we know the reason for his martial soul's evolution, we might be able to use the same method to repair your Clear Sky Hammer, Xiao San."
After he finished speaking, Tang San was at a loss for words.
Flander, standing to the side, spoke up, "But Xiao Gang, Dugu Bo was also one of those who chased after Xiao San before. Since he's an enemy, how could he possibly reveal such an important matter?"
"I've considered that too. Leave it to me; I'll have someone investigate."
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiaogang ultimately took the initiative to take on the task.
He was, after all, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and the son of the clan leader. He left the clan because of his pride, but now, for the sake of his disciples, it was time for him to go back.
"Teacher, thank you."
Tang San was deeply moved.
“You are my disciple, so I can’t just sit idly by. However, it may take a while. You can keep an eye on things yourself, Xiao San. In theory, as long as the source can be replenished, the martial soul can also be restored. But I don’t have any specific methods here.”
Yu Xiaogang offered yet another conjecture.
Of course, this is just his theory, and no one has ever proven it.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"No matter what, we will do our best, Xiao San, don't worry." Flander was also afraid that Tang San might do something rash, so he immediately comforted him softly.
Yu Xiaogang nodded, "Flander is right. Xiao San, you can stay at the academy from now on. I will find out the reason for Dugu Bo's martial soul evolution as soon as possible."
"No, teacher, I plan to go to the City of Slaughter to train next."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed instantly.
Why do you want to go there to cultivate?
“My father has been there before, and the murderous aura he displayed was cultivated there. This ability is very useful to me. In addition, I lack real combat experience on the edge of life and death, so I want to go.”
Upon hearing Tang San's explanation, Yu Xiaogang fell silent.
After a moment, his gaze also became serious.
"Little San, although I've never been to the City of Slaughter, I have a general idea of what it's like inside. The City of Slaughter is full of utterly wicked people. It's not like the deathmatch in the Great Soul Arena. It's a place where anything goes, and almost no one can come out alive. You might not be able to get out in your current state!"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang's worries were palpable.
Tang San thought for a moment, then shook his head and insisted.
"Teacher, I still want to go. It will be difficult for me to catch up with Lin Chuan through normal cultivation, let alone avenge my father. Even if the City of Slaughter is a den of dragons and tigers, I must go!"
"Is it absolutely necessary to go?" Yu Xiaogang's voice was somewhat somber.
Tang San nodded emphatically, "Teacher, I have a reason why I absolutely have to go."
Meeting those determined eyes, Yu Xiaogang succumbed and sighed helplessly.
"Since you've made your decision, there's nothing I can do to stop you. But you better be careful, mistress. Only by staying alive can you have unlimited possibilities!"
"Don't worry, teacher. I have hidden weapons for self-defense, so I'm absolutely safe."
Having already witnessed the power of hidden weapons, Yu Xiaogang and Flander immediately gained confidence.
"When are you planning to leave, mistress?"
"Leave now!"
"So urgent?"
Although they still had some concerns, the two did not stop them.
Before leaving, Yu Xiaogang recounted all the information he knew about the City of Slaughter. Half an hour later, Tang San departed alone.
