In a secluded valley.
Two figures, one large and one small, appeared.
It was Tang Hao and Tang San.
However, at this moment, Tang Hao looked rather disheveled and pale.
Clearly, although he managed to block Su Bai's attack, he paid a heavy price.
He lost an arm and a soul bone.
Additionally, he used the Exploding Ring technique from the Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky School, sacrificing a soul ring to block Su Bai's attack.
Due to losing an arm and a soul bone, his soul power had dropped by ten levels.
He never anticipated that Su Bai would be at Spirit Hall.
And it seemed Su Bai had grown even stronger since their last encounter.
How long had it been?
He couldn't beat him before, and it seemed even less likely now.
Ah Yin!
Tang Hao's face was ashen.
The hope of reclaiming his wife seemed very slim.
He suddenly felt a wave of despair.
"Father, are you okay?"
Tang San looked at Tang Hao's severe injuries and pale face, worriedly asking.
He had just learned that his father was a powerful Title Douluo.
But he felt conflicted. He originally wanted his father to kill Su Bai.
Yet, unexpectedly, his father was left in this pitiful state by just one strike from Su Bai.
He had thought his father, daring to challenge Spirit Hall alone, must be incredibly strong.
But now?
However, no matter what, Tang Hao was still his father.
And as a Title Douluo, if he trained under his father, his strength would increase rapidly.
Eventually, he could avenge himself.
So, Tang Hao absolutely couldn't have anything happen to him now.
Hearing Tang San's voice, Tang Hao's desolate expression showed a slight change.
Yes!
He still had his son.
His son was a genius with twin martial souls.
Even if the first martial soul was ruined, it didn't matter.
As long as Xiao San trained up to Title Douluo, then attached soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, his strength would be incredibly powerful.
Then, even that soul beast wouldn't be a match for Xiao San.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao felt a glimmer of hope.
But soon, he frowned.
"Xiao San, why do you look like this?"
It hadn't been long since they last met, but his son looked so frail, as if a gust of wind could knock him over.
Was this his hope?
Tang Hao felt a surge of disappointment.
"Father..."
Hearing his father's question, Tang San felt extremely aggrieved.
But he didn't mention that it was because of Yu Xiaogang.
He still held some respect for Yu Xiaogang in his heart.
Although he suspected Yu Xiaogang of deliberately mistreating him, he still had a glimmer of hope.
"No need to say more."
Tang Hao wasn't in the mood for Tang San's excuses. He said sternly, "From today onwards, I will personally train you. If you show any laziness, I will cripple you myself!"
Tang San's face changed.
But he nodded obediently.
From Tang Hao's eyes, he could tell he was serious.
He felt very wronged.
But he didn't dare show it.
In his mind, he felt he had been working very hard.
His current state was all due to Yu Xiaogang.
Sigh!
Seeing Tang San's expression, Tang Hao softened slightly. "Xiao San, it's not that I'm being harsh, but I have my reasons."
Tang San looked at him, puzzled.
Tang Hao continued, "Xiao San, do you know why I wanted to kill Qian Xunji?"
Tang San shook his head.
Tang Hao explained, "It's because of your mother, my wife..."
He then recounted the events of the past to Tang San.
Tang San was utterly shocked.
He never expected that he was the child of a human and a soul beast.
But regardless, his parents had raised him.
Tang San also grew to hate Qian Xunji, vowing to kill him.
However, upon hearing that Su Bai had taken his mother, Tang San's face changed dramatically.
He demanded, "Father, why didn't you stop that evil soul beast?"
Given that evil soul beast's nature, if his mother was taken away, would he have to call that bastard "Dad" in the future?
No, he would rather die.
His tone turned aggressive.
Smack!
Tang Hao, his face dark, slapped Tang San hard.
Did he think Tang Hao wanted to send his wife away?
If he could have fought that soul beast, what else could he have done when his own life was threatened?
After all, he still needed to avenge Ah Yin.
He could only let her suffer for now.
Tang Hao consoled himself.
Tang San, having been slapped, didn't dare ask further.
From then on, Tang Hao began training Tang San rigorously.
He took Tang San to a waterfall.
"Get in," he commanded.
Tang San's face changed, but he obediently walked towards the waterfall.
Thud!
But as soon as he reached the base of the waterfall, the powerful pressure knocked him down.
His current physical state was too weak.
After being tormented by Yu Xiaogang for so long, his body was incredibly frail.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have performed so poorly in the Soul Master Tournament.
Although he couldn't use hidden weapons, he still had other Tang Sect skills.
He wouldn't have performed so badly.
It was all Yu Xiaogang's fault.
Thinking this, Tang San grew resentful towards Yu Xiaogang.
Smack!
He was about to plead with Tang Hao to let him rest and recover before starting training.
But before he could speak, he felt a sharp pain.
Tang Hao held a black whip in his hand.
It was clear that Tang Hao had just struck him.
"Get up and continue!"
"Or I'll beat you to death!"
Tang Hao's cold voice echoed.
Tang San felt despair, but he gritted his teeth and stood up.
He knew his father wasn't joking.
That whip had shown no mercy.
If he refused, Tang Hao would really kill him.
So, Tang San had no choice but to endure.
He kept getting up and falling, being whipped by Tang Hao, then getting up again...
For a moment, he felt he had wronged his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.
Compared to his father's training, his teacher's training was child's play.
Tang San was utterly tormented.
...
Meanwhile.
With Tang Hao's retreat, Su Bai transformed back into human form.
Due to his immense power, he was revered by everyone.
"Brother Bai..."
Shui Bing'er and several other women approached Su Bai.
Despite knowing Su Bai's true identity, they still wanted to be his women.
After all, they had already been with him.
Moreover, Su Bai treated them very well.
He would casually give them precious items.
And Su Bai was incredibly strong.
Even the youngest Title Douluo in history, the Clear Sky Douluo, was no match for him.
And Su Bai's true form, the black, majestic dragon, was awe-inspiring.
Just one look made people want to submit!
The surrounding crowd also looked on, but no one dared to disturb Su Bai.
They wore expressions of fear and reverence.
After everything settled down.
Su Bai ignored the others and left with Bibi Dong.
