Chapter 56 - Tang San's Left Hand(2)

"I think we should all go inside shouldn't we, this doesn't seem like an appropriate place to talk about such matters"

Flender recognizing the situation gave out a quick suggestion to which everyone agreed and moved into the academy. He then sent the Shrek Seven Devils back to cultivate while he led Tang San, Tai Tan, Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo into a spacious hall, Tai Tan looked at Tang San and asked him,

"Young Master can you please show me your spirit once again??"

Tang San acted as if he didn't know what was going on and tilted his head but still complied and showed him his Blue Silver Grass Spirit when the small grass came out from it, it also released the spirit rings on it - Two Yellow, One Purple, One Black

When they saw that they were all shocked, he hadn't shown his fourth ring to any of the teachers yet, not to mention Ning Fengzhi and the rest who didn't know much about Tang San, when they saw the ring combination even the Titled Douluo paid more attention to him.

"A lion's son will always be a lion, it's clear that you've inherited his talents, no… you've inherited both their talents. Young Master, I meant the spirit in your left hand"

Tang San while still keeping his act of not knowing what's going on looked towards Grandmaster,

"Sigh,... Tang San show him your second spirit, it's fine, trust me"

Nodding his head he then put away his Blue Silver Grass and called out his Clear Sky Hammer, when Ning Fengzhi saw this both his eyes went wide open, he knew from the conversation who he was but he still had to confirm it. The spirit in his hand was without a doubt the world's topmost tool spirit - The Clear Sky Hammer.

Just from his Spirit, he was able to understand that Tang San was none other than the son of Tang Hao. This made his entire plan of trying to recruit him into the Seven Treasures Clan to be worthless but he still didn't give up, when he mentioned marriage to Ning Rongrong she didn't deny it and instead blushed while trying to say that they weren't old enough for that yet. He was smart enough to guess that his daughter had feelings towards Tang San, the only problem was whether he felt the same way too.

"It's without a doubt the Clear Sky Hammer, Young Master do you know what Master's current whereabouts are??"

"Senior Tai, are you not mistaking me for someone else?? I'm not someone who would be called as Young Master"

"I may be mistaken about anything but how can I forget how the Clear Sky Spirit looks like?? I've traveled with Master on quite a few occasions, there's no way I would be mistaken about your spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer is a unique spirit which can't be copied and only the main bloodline members possess this spirit. In the last few years, Master was the only one from the main family to have left the clan and his name was Tang Hao"

"Young Master where is master currently??"

"I don't know, we used to live in a small village called Holy Spirit Village, he used to be the village blacksmith and was drunk most of the time. He left after I turned 7 and left this letter behind can you confirm if its dad's handwriting??"

He then handed the letter which he had with him for the past 6 and 1/2 years, Tai Tan who saw that letter let out a few drops of tears. After that, he kneeled and expressed that he and the Strength Clan would follow him until death and left later.

Right now Tang San was left with Ning Fengzhi,

"I didn't expect you to be the son of an old friend, though I didn't know you, father, that well, back in his time there was no one who didn't know his name. He was the idol and inspiration to a lot of Spirit Masters during his time, do you know where he would be right now??"

"I don't know, he left right after I awakened my spirit since he's from the Clear Sky Clan he should have gone back home I guess"

When Ning Fengzhi heard that, he felt a little surprised but he didn't let it show on his face. He hadn't expected Tang San to not know anything at all but he wasn't going to tell him the events from that time as it was something between father-son and it wouldn't be his right to interfere between them.

They then discussed the price for the Hidden Weapons and they had decided that the Strength clan would be the one to manufacture the parts but Tang San would be the one to assemble them himself.

After that Tang San was called by Grandmaster, who told him that his father was always with him, he had come to meet him when he joined Nuoding Academy and also when he had joined Shrek Academy.

Tang San did say anything and neither did he ask more and just left to his room after that.

...

It had been nearly a day since he had absorbed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, he had planned to leave the day before to hunt for Spirit Beasts but unfortunately one event after another had popped up which caused him to be unable to leave Shrek but he had finally decided to leave today no matter what so he had already given a few cultivation pills to the rest of Shrek's Seven Devils along with a space ring to each of them.

He had seen Xiao Wu wearing the concealer he had manufactured which he had given to Liu Erlong so he was relieved to see her wearing it when the Sword and Bone Douluo came. He had even discussed with Grandmaster regarding the next spirit ring he would need and they both agreed that he would need a control and power attack type for the Blue Silver Ring to balance out its attack and control capabilities else it would be quite useless later on while he would only rely on control, he can always use the clear sky hammer or the Ice Jade Empress Phoenix but he can only use one spirit at any given particular time so he would need to rely on the Blue Silver Grass for attack too.

He had also found out that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and the Golden Trident Crown, both seem to not respond anymore, he could still feel them but it felt like they were both restraining and transforming each other. He could still feel the Sea God's Light released from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud or the Sea God's Heart.

This light was something really important to him, he had only restrained his spirit rings to make the power they released to match the maximum level his body can take without breaking down but due to the Sea God's Light he would need not worry about this and can daringly add any spirit ring to his spirits, this was the main reason he had not added any spirit ring to his Clear Sky Hammer, his Ice Jade Empress Phoenix was managed by Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and even the Ice Phoenix. While his Samsara Eye was something even more special as it only accepted million-year spirit rings so adding rings to these two spirits apart from his Blue Silver Grass would pose no threat to him no matter what ring he added.

But his Clear Sky Hammer was different, it was a tool spirit which can't be directly managed by any of the spirit souls in his Spiritual Sea so adding spirit rings to this spirit without proper preparations would definitely harm him, or so it would have been if he hadn't gained the Seagod's Heart.

With the Sea God's Heart, his Spirit Bones and Spirit Rings along with the Spirit Souls in his Spiritual Sea were being constantly nourished by the gentle Sea Gods Light.

He was worried about Ice Phoenix since she was also someone who was a god once so he was worried that due to conflicting divinities she would be harmed but she reassured him that this light didn't have any specific divinity imprinted in it so she would be benefited due to this and not be harmed.

She told him that if he ever takes the Sea God's Trials then it would gain the Seagod's divinity as it still is the Seagod's Heart but until then, it would only support him passively and won't conflict with any divinity, even the evil types.

This also made him relax about his worry of not gaining entrance to Slaughter City due to having the Sea God's Heart, in a way it could be said that it is in hibernation mode and will only be awakened when he takes the Sea God's Nine Trials.

He was about to leave Shrek Academy when he saw Dean Flender with an evil smile on his face, he had recognized this as the smile Flender makes when he would set up a torturous training for the Shrek Seven Devils so this made him fully alert.

"Dean Flender, it's good to meet you here, I was about to leave Shrek for the next 6 months to train and will only meet you in Sunset Forest when the others are ready to gain their spirit rings"

"Oh, training outside is it, that's nice, that's nice"

Seeing that Flender still had his evil smile he didn't know what he was thinking,

"You know it would pain me to just send you by yourself all alone to train, so I talked to grandmaster and he suggested to me to choose two other Shrek Devils to accompany you"

Just when he was about to reject he saw two figures behind Flender all packed up ready to leave, seeing those two Tang San just gave out a wry smile.
