--- Chapter 116 ---
"What? How could this be?!" Tang San was shocked. He stared at the limp Blue Silver Grass in disbelief because he couldn't muster strength from his martial soul.
Let alone using spirit skills. He couldn't use his spirit energy as something seemed to restrain his Blue Silver Grass.
Far away, Ah Yin chuckled coldly, "Dirty thief, do you think you can use Blue Silver Grass on my watch? No fucking chance!"
Since Ah Yin is the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, she has absolute authority in the Blue Silver Clan. With a mere hand raise, she can decide the life and death of her clan member.
In fact, after evolving into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin's authority has stretched outside the Douluo Continent and even touched the domain of another Blue Silver Emperor on another continent.
Having Zimei (Monster-Eyed Tree King) as a contracted Spirit Soul helped Ah Yin significantly increase her spiritual power.
Although Tang San possessed the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, making him a candidate for the throne, the bloodline was unawakened and would get corrupted by his "Grandmaster" teacher's choice.
So, Ah Yin, as the Blue Silver Emperor of the Blue Silver Clan, decreed that Tang San's blood was no longer fit to be her inheritor, casting him away as nothing but a thief.
From now on, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass is no longer part of the Blue Silver Clan nor has a chance to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor. His Blue Silver Grass becomes limp as if losing its motivation is due to this.
It was like an orphan child who realized his family was wealthy, but his name got written off the inheritance. Of course, it would be having a breakdown!
The worst part for Tang San is that Ah Yin's authority is absolute!
Han Yuan glanced at Ah Yin and chuckled, "You're cruel, Ah Yin. Now, how could Tang San cultivate his Blue Silver Grass?"
"Hmph, that thief can cultivate his trash Clear Sky Hammer instead!" Ah Yin pouted in displeasure. "My Blue Silver Clan doesn't need a thief in our rank..."
"Anyway, talking about the Clear Sky Hammer, I detected an unpleasant presence nearby."
"Should we make a move on that bastard?" Her expression changed from discontent to excitement immediately.
Han Yuan raised his eyebrow, "Tang Hao, huh? Well, his current situation is already worse than death."
"But want to make him suffer more~!" Ah Yin said with a pout. "Let's tear a limb or two, Xiao Yuan~! Maybe get his little bird cut off forever~?"
Han Yuan blinked his eyes in disbelief. It's hard to believe such a kind and noble woman could say such cruel and yandere-like words adorably, but he honestly likes it. There is a contrasting charm (Gap Moe) within it.
Then, he laughed helplessly, "Since you said so, Ah Yin, I have no reason to refuse. Let's make Tang Hao suffer more."
...
Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who hid a few miles away, stared at Tang San's Blue Silver Grass dumbly. His sharp sense could tell that his son's Blue Silver Grass has become useless, truly befitting its name as trash martial soul.
"But how could this happen?" Tang Hao knew his son possessed his wife's bloodline, the Blue Silver Emperor's blood.
Tang San was a noble existence among the Blue Silver Clan, and Tang Hao planned to use this as the foundation for his son's second martial soul, Clear Sky Hammer, making the strongest Clear Sky Hammer in history!
However, it seemed that the plan was no longer feasible.
Tang Hao suddenly clutched his chest in pain as several strands of white hair fell over his wrinkled face, "Damn it! The poison from three years ago has aged my body for thirty years now, and I still couldn't find a method to cleanse it!"
"If only Nine Heart Begonia could cleanse poison..."
"Useless fucking clan!"
"Calm down, Tang Hao. Calm down..." Tang Hao felt he had aged by one more year due to his anger.
His back got weaker each hour, and so did his aging body.
The only thing that gets stronger is Tang Hao's blood pressure.
Tang Hao huffed, "If Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass is still this weak in a few months, I think he should start using his Clear Sky Hammer. However, I shouldn't waste Xiao San's Clear Sky Hammer's spirit ring slots."
"Is there a way to absorb an older spirit ring..."
"Those disrespectful boys from the Shrek Academy said something about the Dao Academy and Master Theorist earlier. If I'm not wrong, the Dao Academy is a new spirit master academy near Heaven Dou City."
"It seems I have to visit Yuehua, after all." Tang Hao's eyes flickered with nostalgia.
Unknown to Tang Hao, he wouldn't leave the forest unscathed.
...
Back to Tang San. He looked at his Blue Silver Grass in shock, "This, teacher, my martial soul didn't respond to my control at all!"
Yu Xiaogang came closer to observe the Blue Silver Grass and mumbled in awe, "Impossible!"
"You can use your Blue Silver Grass yesterday!"
Tang San was stunned. Yu Xiaoggang had never shouted at him, but he brushed it off, thinking his teacher was probably shocked, too.
He sighed, "I don't know, teacher."
"My Blue Silver Grass just doesn't seem to be working anymore..."
"I don't know the reason behind it at all..."
"Maybe, you know..." He gave Yu Xiaogang a hopeful look.
'How am I supposed to know?!' Yu Xiaogang was speechless.
While Yu Xiaogang is the "Grandmaster" of many theories, they come from the intensive knowledge he consumed, whether it was his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or Spirit Hall.
Unfortunately, he hasn't made any new theory himself. Also, he had never known a martial soul could suddenly stop working, which was bizarre.
Yu Xiaogang pondered solemnly, "I think this is temporary, Xiao San. You probably haven't adapted to the new environment, which caused your Blue Silver Grass to react like this."
"Once we hunt your spirit ring and bring you out, there shouldn't be a problem..."
'Maybe...' He added in his mind. At first, he panicked but remembered that his disciple possessed the rare Twin Martial Soul and could still cultivate with the Clear Sky Hammer.
Even though Yu Xiaogang had to adjust his training plan and verify many things, letting Tang San cultivate his Clear Sky Hammer wasn't bad either because Clear Sky Hammer is much better than Blue Silver Grass.
Hearing this thoughtful comment, Tang San nodded in understanding and replied, "I see..."
"Xiaogang, hurry up!" Flender roared as he was also busy with a group of the Grass Wolfhounds.
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened as he sighed, "Xiao San, your teacher is useless. I can't fight at all."
"I hope you can use your unique martial skills to protect us."
"I understand!" Tang San thought. He was reluctant to reveal the Tang Sect's techniques to outsiders. However, since leaving Nouding City, he had realized that his unique abilities could be considered self-created skills.
Tang San could confidently assert this because the Tang Sect did not exist in this new world.
Although the Tang Sect's rules forbid the Tang Sect's disciples to expose the sect's techniques, those rules don't work on Tang San anymore.
Realizing this, Tang Sect's techniques are unique to Tang San, and he can claim them as his own invention!
RULE FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME!
'Don't worry, Tang Sect's ancestors and elders, I will let this world see the glory of our Tang Sect!' With that righteous thought in his mind, Tang San used his Purple Demon Eyes to survey the area before pulling the Godly Zhuge Crossbow he made, firing several thin and deadly arrows at the remaining Grass Wolfhounds.
Soon, all the Grass Wolfhounds perished, including those at the 1,000-year-old mark.
It shocked Zhao Wuji and Flender because they had never seen such a weapon before.
Even Yu Xiaogang was shocked, "Tang San, that thing is..."
Tang San smiled and explained, "It's a self-defense weapon I made in the workshop, teacher."
'Self-defense?' Flender and Zhao Wuji's mouth twitched in disbelief.
'Of course, you will consider it a self-defense weapon because the attackers are dead!'
