Tang San said, "Dad, and me."
Tang San hoped his dad could come home, and he wanted to help his dad, to do something for him.
Tang Hao shook his head, "We can't withstand it. The strength of the Martial Soul Hall is unimaginable. Even if both Great Empires combined, they couldn't match it. The Vast Heaven Sect might be the largest sect, but there's still a significant gap compared to the Martial Soul Hall."
At this moment, Ye Yu, sipping tea, stood up and said, "I wonder if with me included, could we withstand it?"
Tang Hao was startled and said, "Xiao Yu, your talents are terrifying. Even compared to you, I seem extremely ordinary. Being a Soul Emperor yet possessing the strength of a Soul Douluo is unimaginable. However, you're still young. I believe you can become a Titled Douluo in the future, maybe even take on the Martial Soul Hall alone, but you're far from that now. I can't let you face danger because of me. You still need to grow, and now is not the time."
Ye Yu said, "I'm already an enemy of the Martial Soul Hall. Another so-called crime won't matter. Uncle Hao, you've also helped me. Helping you is what I should do."
Tang Hao's many instances of help, Ye Yu remembered deeply. When he lost control for the first time in Holy Soul Village and subsequent events, Tang Hao had helped him.
Tang Hao shook his head, "It's not time yet, Xiao Yu. You needn't worry about it."
Ye Yu nodded, "Alright, let me know anytime if you need help."
Tang Hao acknowledged, knowing in his heart that Ye Yu's words were sincere.
In the room, after the conversation, Tang Hao was about to leave.
Tang Hao said, "Yuehua, tell Brother that Xiao San is my explanation to the sect. After Xiao San sees me in half a year, you take him to the sect to acknowledge his ancestors. What I cannot do, let Xiao San complete."
Yuehua was reluctant. They hadn't seen each other for seventeen years, and now, less than an hour after meeting, he was leaving, not knowing when they'd meet again.
As Tang Hao was leaving, he said, "These two kids are in your hands. They both came out of the City of Slaughter. Xiao Yu can control his killing intent, but Xiao San is the one you need to focus on helping."
After Tang Hao finished speaking, he left. Although Yuehua didn't want Tang Hao to go, who could stop him?
After grieving alone, Yuehua wiped away her tears and called Ye Yu and Tang San to her private room.
The room was decorated in an antique style, very tranquil.
Yuehua already knew Ye Yu and Tang San's ages, seventeen years and six months apart.
Yuehua marveled, "Brother Hao walked out of the Hell Road from the City of Slaughter at twenty-eight, but you two did it even earlier. Truly the waves of the Yangtze River drive on those before them."
Tang San was puzzled, "Dad said he'll only tell me about the past once I've washed away all impurities. What does that mean?"
Yuehua said, "It means I'll be teaching you noble etiquette and music over the next six months. Xiao Yu, you need to learn too. Although your killing intent isn't strong, it's beneficial without any harm."
Tang San was stunned, "You're not joking, are you? Learning etiquette?"
He thought it would be a kind of cultivation but didn't expect it to have nothing to do with cultivation.
Yuehua sternly said, "Washing away all impurities means just that. If you don't meet the requirements in six months, I won't let you find your dad."
Ye Yu said, "I don't need it, do I?"
Yuehua said, "You do. Did you just feel my domain? That's my Talent Domain Noble Ring. Can you guess what level my soul power is?"
Tang San said, "It should be the same as dad, a Titled Douluo, because I didn't sense Aunt's soul power fluctuation earlier."
Yuehua shook her head, "Wrong. Actually, my soul power is only at level nine."
Tang San was astonished, how could that be?
Yuehua is his aunt, his father's sister. He thought her talent was also terrifying, but just a level-nine Soul Warrior?
Yuehua said, "You might think I'm the weakest direct disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect, but I rely on something other than strength. I can tell you, if your father were skilled in everything I possess back then, the outcome of that matter would have been completely different."
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Ye Yu frowned, sensing a fluctuation in the atmosphere.
Yuehua and Tang San didn't notice because they're Soul Douluo.
"It seems someone has come looking for me."
Ye Yu dashed downstairs, and the incoming visitor was not stopped by the guards, as it was the Sect Leader of the Xiangjia Sect, Huyan Zhen.
The Xiangjia Sect was located near Tian Dou City on Xiangjia Mountain. The people in the sect had connections in Tian Dou City and reported back immediately upon seeing Ye Yu. Thus, Huyan Zhen arrived promptly, fearing Ye Yu would escape.
Being the strongest in the sect, he was the first to arrive. He also thought there was no need for others to act, as he could hold the fort in the sect. Although Ye Yu is a super demon, and four and a half years have passed, as a Level 89 Soul Douluo and supposedly the strongest defense Soul Master, not even a regular Level 91 Soul Douluo could kill him, let alone the sixteen-year-old Ye Yu.
Hence, Huyan Zhen was very excited.
Ye Yu arrived naturally, recognizing him. He had been in the VIP seat during the competition.
"It really is you."
Even though over four years had passed, Huyan Zhen recognized him, extremely excited. Catching Ye Yu would bring him closer to the Martial Soul Hall and also gain him Soul Bones.
"Will you surrender quietly, or let me take action?"
Huyan Zhen said coldly, eight Soul Rings rhythmically pulsating, exuding a powerful presence with Level 89 soul power.
At that moment, Yuehua and Tang San arrived.
Yuehua said to Ye Yu, "Leave it to me. I want to teach you what's beyond strength. If Brother Hao had mastered everything I have, the current situation wouldn't exist. Similarly, if you master everything I have, this situation wouldn't exist either. Sometimes strength doesn't represent everything. You need to learn how to protect yourself without relying on strength, understand the art of language, navigate through various power dynamics, and master control without effort. So, there's a lot for you to learn here."
Ye Yu whispered in his heart, "The legendary art of verbal evasion?"
Tang San seemed to grasp it partially, and Yuehua stepped forward, "Watch closely. I'll show you the importance of language, that strength doesn't represent every—"
Swish!
Boom!!
In that instant, Ye Yu moved, instantly closing in, so fast that Huyan Zhen didn't even have time to react.
Ye Yu unleashed his full strength, six Soul Rings glowing, five External Soul Bones appearing, utilizing the Origin of Evil, and employing the Unbeatable First Divine Skill, doubling his overall power.
Ye Yu almost teleported right in front of Huyan Zhen. As the Sect Leader of the Xiangjia Sect, a Defense Type, he had no chance to dodge, his expression shifted as he quickly defended.
However, with a resounding boom, Ye Yu's Dragon Claw struck with immense force, sending the fully defensive Huyan Zhen flying directly away.
He soared out of the main door and didn't stop, flying so far he vanished from sight.
Yuehua, who was about to say that strength doesn't represent everything, was left speechless before she could finish her sentence, utterly stunned by what she saw.
Ye Yu looked at the shocked and dazed Yuehua and asked, "Aunt Yuehua, do I still need to learn the art of language now?"
