NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Arriving at Shrek Academy—I'm Here for Tang San!
"Since you don't know why your father was so determined to hunt down Tang Hao, allow me to enlighten you today."
With a faint, knowing smile, Lu Yunzhou began recounting the events of the past.
"At that time, the reason your father pursued Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Clan was simple: Tang Hao possessed a 100,000-year spirit beast that had taken human form."
The moment the words "100,000-year spirit beast" were uttered, Flender's pupils involuntarily contracted in shock. He froze momentarily before regaining his composure, and his focus sharpened.
This was no trivial matter.
A 100,000-year spirit beast was an extraordinary topic. It was only natural for Flender to treat this revelation with the utmost seriousness.
Beside him, Qian Renxue's expression also turned solemn. Though she was currently unable to avenge her father, she at least had the right to understand the events surrounding his death.
And this matter involved a 100,000-year spirit beast. How could that not captivate Qian Renxue's curiosity?
As silence enveloped the room, Lu Yunzhou continued, his tone steady and unhurried.
"The 100,000-year spirit beast in Tang Hao's possession was none other than the Blue Silver Emperor, a plant-type spirit beast of extraordinary rarity. Moreover, this Blue Silver Emperor was his wife."
"When your father, Qian Xunji, discovered this, he led the forces of Spirit Hall to hunt them down. After all, the value of a 100,000-year spirit beast is self-evident. How could your father let such a treasure slip through his grasp?"
"But during the pursuit of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, a tragedy unfolded…"
As the tale unfolded, Qian Renxue's fists clenched tightly.
The Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, had sacrificed herself to grant Tang Hao his ninth spirit ring. In doing so, she enabled Tang Hao to unleash the Clear Sky Clan's ultimate secret technique, the Ring Explosion Technique. This move gravely injured Qian Xunji, ultimately leading to his death.
"Tang Hao… Blue Silver Emperor… If I do not destroy you both, I, Qian Renxue, swear never to call myself human!"
Her teeth clenched, and her anger surged visibly, her beautiful eyes burning with murderous intent. She seemed ready to tear Tang Hao and Ah Yin to shreds.
Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, Lu Yunzhou patted her shoulder gently.
"Vengeance must be taken, but you cannot dwell on the past forever. To live is to move forward, to let go, and to embrace what lies ahead."
Hearing Lu Yunzhou's words, Qian Renxue nodded slowly, calming her turbulent emotions.
Yes, one couldn't live in the past. Obsessing over it would only lead to endless suffering.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened, and she asked cautiously, "Mr. Lu, you brought me here without warning, specifically looking for a student named Tang San. Is it because he's connected to Tang Hao?"
A satisfied expression appeared on Lu Yunzhou's face. "You've guessed correctly."
He explained, "Tang San possesses the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, which carries the latent bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor. Once he reaches a certain level of cultivation, his martial spirit will evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Moreover, he is an exceedingly rare twin martial spirit wielder. His second martial spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Now, do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Yunzhou's words echoed in Qian Renxue's mind, and the realization hit her like a thunderclap.
Tang San was the son of Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor. He was the child of her father's murderers!
After repeatedly confirming that she had not misunderstood Lu Yunzhou's explanation, Qian Renxue swallowed hard. She then respectfully addressed him.
"Mr. Lu, your gift is one I will cherish. As thanks, I will prepare a 'gift' for you in return. I hope you will accept it when the time comes."
No sooner had Qian Renxue spoken than Zhao Wuji arrived with Tang San.
The moment she saw Tang San, the anger that had subsided flared up again. A palpable killing intent radiated from her, her fury impossible to suppress.
Just as Qian Renxue was about to make a move against Tang San, Lu Yunzhou stepped forward without warning.
In an instant, Lu Yunzhou appeared before Tang San. Bringing two fingers together, he tapped Tang San lightly on the forehead.
The moment his fingers touched, a vast, ocean-like spiritual energy surged into Tang San's body, sealing his Baihui Acupoint. In the blink of an eye, this overwhelming force spread to his key meridians, rendering him incapable of condensing energy ever again.
In other words, Lu Yunzhou had crippled Tang San's cultivation entirely with a single gesture.
After ensuring that Tang San was truly powerless, Lu Yunzhou turned to Qian Renxue with a faint smile.
"He's all yours now. Do whatever you like with him, but don't kill him."
Tang San was utterly stunned, unable to react. Lu Yunzhou's strength was beyond anything he could comprehend.
Even if he had been able to react, what could he have done? Could he have possibly resisted a powerhouse like Lu Yunzhou, who was in the Core Formation realm?
Not even Tang Hao himself would have been able to save Tang San from Lu Yunzhou today.
With Lu Yunzhou's permission, Qian Renxue wasted no time. She stepped forward, delivering a powerful kick that sent Tang San flying.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji's pupils constricted. A wave of dread washed over him.
Good heavens, this was the beloved son of the Clear Sky Douluo! How could they dare harm him?
Panicked, Zhao Wuji stammered, "Sir, please… don't harm him. His father is—"
Before Zhao Wuji could finish, Lu Yunzhou interrupted, his tone calm. "Tang Hao, correct?"
Zhao Wuji froze, stunned.
What was going on? Lu Yunzhou clearly knew who Tang San's father was. Why, then, did he still dare to act against him?
Was Lu Yunzhou not afraid of Tang Hao's wrath?
Just as Zhao Wuji was about to speak up again, Flender's voice suddenly transmitted directly into his ears.
"Zhao Wuji, stay out of this. This matter is beyond us."
"They came here specifically to settle an old score with Tang Hao."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji confirmed he hadn't misheard. A look of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
Settle a score… with Tang Hao?
Did they even understand who Tang Hao was? And yet, they dared to seek revenge?
