Chapter 40: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's Killing Intent
"Hehe, Grandmaster, I know what you're thinking. When Su Yun rejected your request to take him as a disciple back then, I was also hiding in the shadows. However, at that time, he hadn't revealed his martial soul, so I didn't see anything extraordinary about this kid."
Tang Hao looked at Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, whose face was gradually showing regret, chuckled, and then dropped another shocking piece of news, "However, I can tell you that in this world, Su Yun is not the only one with the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul."
"What?!" Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, immediately asking, "Who is it?!"
Tang Hao said indifferently, "It's my child, and also your disciple, Xiao San."
"How is that possible?!" Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang frowned, shaking his head, "Impossible. I deliberately checked Xiao San's martial soul. His martial soul is the same as the Blue Silver Grass martial soul I've seen before, with no difference whatsoever. The only distinction is the difference in innate soul power."
"So, I say, Grandmaster, your research is still not enough."
Tang Hao said lightly, "Xiao San's situation is quite special. His Blue Silver Emperor martial soul has not fully awakened. Therefore, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul is currently just a semi-finished martial soul."
A semi-finished martial soul... Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, following Tang Hao's gaze, asked, "Then how can Xiao San awaken his current martial soul? If Xiao San can successfully awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul as soon as possible, I am absolutely certain that he can defeat Su Yun in the life-and-death duel ten years later!"
However, facing Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's firm tone, Tang Hao shook his head slightly, saying, "The answer to this question is also the reason why I forced that kid named Su Yun to have a life-and-death duel with Xiao San."
"Related to Su Yun... Wait! Are you saying—" Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang first rubbed his chin, then suddenly remembered what Tang Hao had said to him earlier. His pupils suddenly dilated, and he uttered a shocked exclamation.
"That's right! You should know that there will inevitably be an emperor in this world. Just like the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, although they are currently like two tigers confronting each other, sooner or later, they will have a decisive battle. After that battle, the entire Douluo Continent will inevitably be unified."
Tang Hao's voice became slightly solemn, "The existence of the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul is no different from soul beasts. Since it is an emperor, just like emperors in the world, there can only be one true Blue Silver Emperor martial soul in this world."
"Su Yun's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul has already awakened. Xiao San's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul is naturally suppressed by an invisible bloodline force, preventing it from evolving."
Damn it!
As soon as Yu Xiaogang thought of Su Yun's face, his expression couldn't help but twist. Xiao San's martial soul couldn't evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor because of that little rascal!
Thinking of this, the desire in Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's heart for Su Yun disappeared instantly.
He then thought that if Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass could successfully evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, he would possess the two top martial souls in the world—the Blue Silver Emperor and the Sky Hammer!
With these two top-tier martial souls, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was one hundred percent sure that when Tang San grew to the day of becoming a Title Douluo, he would be able to crush any Title Douluo of the same rank, and he might even be able to fight beyond his level!
"So, according to what you mean, Su Yun must die for Xiao San's martial soul to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor." Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang raised a question, "Why don't you do it now..."
He didn't finish his words, but a ruthless light flashed in Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
His intention was clear; now, as long as they dealt with Su Yun, wouldn't Xiao San's martial soul naturally evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor?
Born in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang, as the son of the clan chief, had naturally witnessed both the bright and dark sides of the big family since childhood.
It wasn't strange to secretly assassinate for certain purposes and interests, especially for the family's benefit.
He believed that Tang Hao, as a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Clan, one of the Upper Three Clans, was well aware of this.
"Do you think I don't want to?" Tang Hao's eyes also flashed with sharpness, "Unfortunately, I once accidentally read an ancient book that recorded some information about the inheritance of the ancient Blue Silver Emperor martial soul."
"To evolve from the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, one must defeat someone with the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. The duel between the two not only requires the recognition of the gods but must also be completed before the former's eighteenth birthday."
Tang Hao's tone was very calm, saying, "That's why I forced Su Yun into a duel that day. One reason is that in ten years, both of them will be seventeen years old, just right within the limits of this rule. The other reason is that the Clear Sky Clan itself serves the gods, and although I don't like the Clear Sky Clan, the contract they have can indeed represent the gods' approval to some extent."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly after hearing this. Then, he furrowed his brows again and said, "But have you ever thought that, according to what you said, the Blue Silver Emperor can suppress the Blue Silver Grass. If we can't find a way to solve this problem, even if Xiao San reaches the realm of a four-ring Soul Ancestor or even a five-ring Soul King in ten years, he won't be able to threaten that Su Yun."
"You don't need to worry about this."
Tang Hao waved his hand, saying, "When the time is right, I will take Xiao San to a place where someone can help him temporarily evolve his martial soul into the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Oh?! Martial soul evolution?!"
Yu Xiaogang's face showed a shocked expression. The ability to make a martial soul evolve temporarily was not something even the Clear Sky Clan had. He quickly asked, "Who is it? How can they have such an ability?"
Tang Hao shook his head, "You don't need to know her identity. You just need to know that with her, Xiao San's gap in martial soul will be almost unrestrictedly narrowed."
"As for the remaining guidance afterward, it will depend on you, the Grandmaster of Martial Soul Theory."
After saying that, Tang Hao stood up, turned around, and put on his hood. "For some time to come, I probably won't be around Xiao San. Take care of him for me."
"Where are you going?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
"Where I should go, to do what I should do." Tang Hao didn't turn around, but his voice at this moment sounded exceptionally deep. "I thought I would live my life like this, but I didn't expect that the heavens would give my child Xiao San an unprecedented talent."
"Someday, I will take Xiao San to crush that place."
That place?
Yu Xiaogang was puzzled, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of the words 'Clear Sky Clan.' Just as he was about to inquire further, he found that the tall figure that had been standing in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
When Yu Xiaogang sat down again, he saw a medallion with six patterns engraved on it, which had appeared on his desk at some point.
Holding the long-silent cold medallion, Yu Xiaogang sat in place, silent for a long time.
