Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 217: The Call of the Twin Gods, Su Yun Plans to Head to the City of Slaughter

"The City of Slaughter, the Road to Hell, Tang San, I'm waiting for you here!"

As a blood-red scene flashed before Tang San's eyes, a voice like a grand bell simultaneously rang in his ears, sounding as if it was coming from the divine realm, guiding him.

The next moment, when Tang San regained his senses, he saw Tang Xiao and the second elder of the Hao Tian Sect before him, both displaying extremely excited expressions.

"Did it succeed?!" The second elder stared at Tang San, his voice trembling. He couldn't believe that Tang San had actually managed to forcibly absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring at the forty-first level of soul power, and it was even the first spirit ring of his second martial soul!

"Hahaha... good! Good! Good! Little San, you truly deserve to be a descendant of our Hao Tian Sect, and indeed worthy of being the son of Hao Tian Douluo, your father. I always knew you could do it!" Tang Xiao's hands, previously trembling on his back, finally stilled, as he expressed his sincere admiration toward Tang San.

Their Hao Tian Sect was finally rising!

Tang San released his Hao Tian Hammer martial soul with his left hand, and with a thought, a black ten-thousand-year spirit ring floated out accordingly. The solid sense of power that came with the spirit ring gave Tang San a feeling of reassurance. This spirit ring, specially found for him by his uncle and the second elder, was from a power-type spirit beast. Although it was just the first spirit ring of the Hao Tian Hammer, the power it released could rival the fifth spirit skill of ordinary spirit masters.

"Uncle, second elder, thank you both for this. However, there were actually some issues when I was absorbing the spirit ring," Tang San decided after some thought to disclose what had happened to his uncle and the second elder.

Firstly, because they, aside from his own father, were the closest people to him in this world, connected by blood; secondly, because they understood this world better than he did.

"Issues?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao and the second elder's expressions changed, and they looked at Su Yun with concern, checking his physical condition.

Overlevel absorption of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, if it really damaged Tang San's foundation, then even though he succeeded in this absorption, it would cause irreversible harm to his future cultivation of soul power.

Seeing his elders' worried looks, Tang San smiled lightly and explained, "It's not a bad thing, but a good thing."

As he finished speaking, under the puzzled looks of his elders, Tang San recounted the incidents involving the Sea God and another voice he heard.

After Tang San finished, he saw that Tang Xiao's and the second elder's expressions had changed drastically, and their breathing had become extremely rapid.

"It really is a divine inheritance!" Tang Xiao and the second elder both gasped in shock.

With their age and knowledge, they naturally knew something about what it meant to become a god at level one hundred, but they had never seen anyone who actually had a divine inheritance. Unexpectedly, this time, they had encountered one, and that person was their junior!

Tang Xiao, being Tang San's uncle, was naturally the most delighted.

He excitedly looked at Tang San and asked, "Little San, are you sure you didn't just hear things?"

He was afraid that Tang San had misheard and was excited over nothing.

The second elder also looked at Tang San with the same expression.

Tang San shook his head, chuckling bitterly, "Uncle, how could I have misheard? The Sea God deity specifically named me to go to the Sea God Island, see this if you don't believe me."

Hum.

With a thought, Tang San activated the divine power given to him by the Sea God in his brow, and a golden trident mark of the Sea God appeared, emitting divine power that caused Tang Xiao and the second elder to catch their breath, and then they became incredibly excited again.

"That's indeed power far surpassing a Title Douluo!" Tang Xiao observed the Sea God trident mark on Tang San's forehead up close, feeling amazed. Then, as if remembering something, he murmured, "I never thought it would be Sea God Island again..."

Hearing his uncle's words, Tang San was slightly stunned, "Uncle, have you been to Sea God Island?"

From his uncle's tone, Tang San faintly felt that there might be some connection between his uncle and Sea God Island.

Tang Xiao smiled and explained, "Not just me, but also your father, Tang Hao. He and I had once been to Sea God Island together."

Father?

Together?

Seeing Tang San's puzzled expression, Tang Xiao then explained their trip to Sea God Island years ago to deliver a message for their grandfather, Tang Chen.

"That place is the realm of sea soul masters, where nearly everyone's martial soul is related to the ocean."

"I once heard that they worship the Sea God. I thought the Sea God was just a legend, but it turns out to be real!" Saying this, Tang Xiao's eyes lit up, he looked at Tang San, "Little San, if you really become the Sea God on Sea God Island, then you will have the power to control the entire ocean!"

"By then, not only overthrowing the Spirit Hall will be easy, our Hao Tian Sect will also become famous across the entire Douluo Continent, and even the Tang Sect organization you wanted to establish back then would have a perfect opportunity to come to fruition."

Hearing his uncle's words, Tang San immediately became excited.

Yes!

If he became a god, he could indeed spread the Tang Sect far and wide in this world, without being confined to just the small area of the Hao Tian Sect.

The second elder, hearing Tang Xiao's words, couldn't help but give the latter another look, but he remained silent.

"By the way, Little San, about the Road to Hell and the City of Slaughter, I can tell you that it is a dangerous place."

"But if you want to become stronger, that place is also indispensable for you."

"I once heard your great-grandfather say that only by passing through the City of Slaughter and walking the Road to Hell can you gain the recognition of the King of Slaughter, and even obtain the legendary killing god domain!"

"At present in this world, only the Pontiff Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall possesses this domain. If your father Tang Hao were alive, he could actually teach you about it, alas, it's a pity."

Tang San nodded slightly, remaining silent.

He had originally intended to go to the City of Slaughter, but everyone around him had advised him to train for some more time before going. Now it seems he could first go to Sea God Island to obtain the Sea God's inheritance.

After all, the second voice had given him too little information, far less than what the Sea God had provided him.

"Little San, in that case, I suggest you hurry up and pack your things, I'll take you to Sea God Island to obtain the Sea God's inheritance first," Tang Xiao suddenly said.

"Okay." Tang San nodded.

As long as he could obtain the Sea God's inheritance, waiting for the future breakthrough to level one hundred soul power

, becoming the Sea God would be like pushing a boat along with the current.

In the following days, Tang San began packing his belongings, including not only clothes but also many hidden weapons, planning to take them there to promote his Tang Sect.

Meanwhile, in the council hall.

The second elder sat next to Tang Hao and asked in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, when you said to let Little San create his own Tang Sect, what did you mean? You should know how terrifying the several soul techniques created by Little San are. If this power is not kept in our Hao Tian Sect and instead is passed out to outsiders, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

In the second elder's view, the Xuan Tian Baolu that Tang San submitted should, like the Hao Tian Nine Extremes, become a technique that only direct descendants of the Hao Tian Sect could learn. If Tang San taught it to others, wouldn't that be too generous?

Seeing the second elder's distressed expression, Tang Xiao shook his head and chuckled, "Second elder, you're seeing things too superficially."

Chapter 217: The Divine Call and the Venture to the City of Slaughter

"I ask you, if Little San achieves the position of Sea God in the future, then our Hao Tian Sect will surely become the most prestigious sect in this world."

"Why? Because the Sea God is a scion of our Hao Tian Sect!"

"By then, why should there be any distinction between the Tang Sect and the Hao Tian Sect?"

"Moreover, what is a mere scroll of techniques to Little San, who would have achieved godhood by then?"

"As long as Little San is a god, our Hao Tian Sect will still be his root. Surely, Little San won't let others bully our Hao Tian Sect, right?"

"One should look further ahead. I've long seen that Little San has the desire to independently establish the Tang Sect. I didn't say much, just sought the right opportunity, and now it has come."

"As long as we can ensure that Little San achieves godhood, our Hao Tian Sect will surely be immortal for ten thousand years!"

As Tang Xiao finished speaking, his eyes were already filled with fervent zeal!

After hearing Tang Xiao's words, the second elder also sat still, eventually nodding in agreement without further objection.

A few days later, under the leadership of Tang Xiao, Tang San set out for Sea God Island.

...

"What? You're sure you want to go to the City of Slaughter now?" Bibi Dong looked at Su Yun in front of her, somewhat surprised.

"To be precise, after I obtain my sixth spirit ring," Su Yun explained. "Once I have my sixth spirit ring, my physique will undergo further changes, so you can rest assured, Teacher."

Bibi Dong's eyes twinkled, "It's not that I'm worried, but the City of Slaughter is indeed extremely dangerous."

"I've also told you about the strangeness of that place recently."

"The inability to use spirit ring-enhanced spirit abilities there is a significant weakening for someone with a top-tier martial spirit like yours. Although you have your self-created spirit techniques, Su Yun, you'll still be outnumbered in the City of Slaughter, a place fraught with dangers at every turn."

Bibi Dong looked intently at Su Yun, speaking earnestly, "Moreover, for many years, Su Yun, you have almost never truly killed someone."

"In such a place, I'm afraid you won't hold up and might easily break down."

Bibi Dong's words were true; some geniuses are invincible in friendly spars among spirit masters, but once they face the ruthless, no-rules reality of the battlefield, they can easily suffer mental breakdowns.

Su Yun said, "If Teacher doesn't believe me, you can find some of the criminals detained by our Spirit Hall to fight against me."

The Spirit Hall indeed detained many infamous criminals, blood-stained and locked deep in the dungeons.

Each of them might not have high realms or spirit power levels, but their methods of killing were exceptionally powerful.

Hearing Su Yun speak so boldly, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and finally nodded, "Alright, as you say, but no spirit abilities are to be used."

"Okay."

In the dungeon.

Yu Xiaogang had been locked up in the depths of the dungeon for who knows how long, always hoping that someone from the Upper Three Sects would come to his rescue, but there was no news.

"That damned Su Yun, truly rebellious. I just didn't accept him back then, and he treats me like this!" Yu Xiaogang was selectively remembering, only recalling the parts where Su Yun was unfavorable to him, completely forgetting his own actions from the past.

Clack clack clack!

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang heard the sound of doors opening and shackles dragging.

His eyes widened, and then he immediately rushed to the small window on the door to see many people passing by outside.

There were ten people!

"These people..." Yu Xiaogang immediately recognized their identities; they were all infamous murderers.

Why would the Spirit Hall release them?

Yu Xiaogang didn't wonder for long before a familiar voice of a Spirit Hall guard came.

"The higher-ups are giving you a chance. As long as you can defeat Lord Su Yun without using spirit abilities, you will be set free."

"Humph, not using spirit abilities, isn't that just making us targets for your so-called lord?" a criminal scoffed.

The guard said indifferently, "Lord Su Yun will also not use spirit abilities, and you don't need to fight one at a time; you can all go together."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened again upon hearing this!

No spirit abilities?

Was Su Yun seeking death?

A criminal seemed to think of something and spoke up, "Isn't your lord planning to go to the City of Slaughter?"

The criminals present, including Yu Xiaogang and others in the cells, shivered at the mention.

What was the City of Slaughter if not clear to them?

Once

 you go in, you never come out!

And there, spirit abilities cannot be used!

It's a real paradise for killers!

These people, detained by the Spirit Hall, were always inferior to those killers.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you're unwilling, we can switch to another group," the guard coldly stated.

"Hehe, since the Spirit Hall is willing to give us brothers this opportunity, we certainly cherish it. But don't suddenly change your mind after we kill your lord."

"We'll talk when you win," the guard dropped the remark and turned to leave, letting the other guards take these people away.

Yu Xiaogang, hearing about Su Yun's intention to go to the City of Slaughter, began to speculate on how strong Su Yun's combat abilities really were.

Su Yun dared to head to the City of Slaughter without using spirit abilities, and Yu Xiaogang remembered that Su Yun was primarily a control type spirit master. Without his spirit, wouldn't he be just a live target?

As Yu Xiaogang was pondering how strong Su Yun might be, suddenly, another voice arose nearby: "Yu Xiaogang, the Pontiff has ordered that you be brought to watch the trial of Lord Su Yun."
