Chapter 507 Tang Hao's Scheme
After receiving Tang Hao's instructions, Xiao Wu went to Tang San's room, found him, and while snuggling up to him, slowly revealed to him what Tang Hao had told her.
Tang San, feeling quite comfortable with Xiao Wu's close embrace, suddenly realized that while his soul power was increasing rapidly during his training at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, his combat abilities hadn't improved much. Going to the Sunset Forest to train and fight alongside soul beasts would be a good option.
Moreover, he needs a large amount of highly toxic substances to refine the poisons in the "Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons" recipe. He can also collect some highly toxic substances by going to Sunset Forest, such as catching some poisonous insects or picking some highly toxic herbs.
Finally, there is the herb garden of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
If we're lucky, we might be able to find that herb garden and perhaps find a way to go inside and explore it, to see what exactly the method by which a super soul master theoretically absorbs soul rings to the limit is.
Also, Dugu Bo is a poison enthusiast after all, and he must have cultivated a lot of poisonous plants and herbs in his herb garden. Perhaps we could pluck some from him.
Judging from his ghastly appearance, that old poisoner Dugu Bo has clearly been poisoned and is terminally ill. He probably doesn't have many years left to live.
Haha, it's hilarious that someone who plays with poison gets poisoned in return. It seems Dugu Bo still hasn't mastered the art of poisoning.
Oh, and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, with her bright, deep purple hair and eerie, dark green eyes, was also clearly a sign of poisoning.
The grandfather and grandson both suffered from the backlash of the deadly poison; they deserved it.
However, if I were to solve this problem for them, well, it doesn't need to be completely solved, just alleviated so that they can see the effect.
I'm sure Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, this grandfather and granddaughter duo, will be extremely grateful to me and obediently offer me all the good things, letting me take whatever I want.
In this way, we can confidently explore Dugu Bo's herb garden.
As long as he knows how to resolve the backlash from the deadly poison in the grandfather and grandson, Dugu Bo will be unable to do anything to him.
In the blink of an eye, Tang San was quickly persuaded by Xiao Wu. The two then went to find Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and told him their thoughts.
After a moment's thought, Yu Xiaogang agreed and changed the Shrek Seven Devils' training plan from free training in a simulated training environment to combat training in Sunset Forest.
Then everyone went to Sunset Forest to hunt for Dai Mubai's fourth soul ring, while also using the soul beasts there for combat training, and secretly investigating the location of Dugu Bo's herb garden.
Yu Xiaogang himself naturally wanted to go along, since he had been eyeing the method for absorbing soul rings at the theoretical limit of super soul masters, which Dugu Bo possessed, for a long time and really wanted to get his hands on it.
…………
The next day, the sky was clear and the air was crisp.
Accompanied by Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He first visited the three teaching committee members, including Meng Shenji, and then went to the courtyard where the Shrek Academy students were.
Thanks to Ning Rongrong's introduction, after some introductions and mutual flattery, everyone quickly became acquainted.
In the reception room, Ning Fengzhi sat on the guest sofa, with Ning Rongrong sitting quietly beside him, while the tall Bone Douluo Gu Rong stood behind them, his eyes slightly closed, saying nothing.
On the opposite sofa sat Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Qin Ming, and Yu Tianheng. As for Flander and the others from Shrek Academy, they had already left the reception room after exchanging greetings with Ning Fengzhi.
Suddenly, Bone Douluo seemed to sense something, abruptly opened his eyes, walked to Ning Fengzhi's side, and leaned down to whisper a few words in the latter's ear.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise, but he controlled his expression well, and no one noticed anything amiss. He simply nodded slightly without making a sound.
Then, Bone Douluo turned and walked out of the reception room.
When Bone Douluo suddenly left the reception room, apart from Ning Rongrong who felt slightly surprised, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Qin Ming, and Yu Tianheng from Shrek Academy did not notice anything amiss.
After leaving the reception room, Bone Douluo's figure flickered, and he appeared out of thin air in front of a shadowy spot in the Shrek Academy's residential courtyard:
"Come out, I've sensed your presence."
"I never expected that there would be a Title Douluo hidden in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
As a level 95 Super Douluo who combines defense and agility, and also possesses spatial power that is extremely rare on the continent, Bone Douluo Gu Rong is known as the titled Douluo with the most unpredictable attacks. He is extremely sensitive to the aura of soul power and spatial fluctuations.
Tang Hao, a powerful offensive titled Douluo who is not good at concealing his aura, has almost nowhere to hide in front of him and cannot escape his perception at all.
"As expected of Bone Douluo, even though I was so careful to hide, you still managed to find me. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Not long after Bone Douluo finished speaking, a tall figure wearing a tattered black robe, whose face was not visible, suddenly emerged from the corner of the eaves in the shadows, holding a half-dead Blue Silver Grass firmly in his hands.
It was Tang Hao.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Bone Douluo frowned. He certainly wouldn't judge a book by its cover, and he became even more wary.
Although the other party was dressed in tattered and slovenly clothes, he gave off a subtle sense of threat, indicating that his strength was probably no less than his own.
This soul power aura is clearly at level 95, just like mine. Where did this Super Douluo come from?
How come I've never heard of this before?
Bone Douluo was full of doubts, but he soon got the answer.
"You may not know me, but I think you should recognize this."
A dense black light surged forth and condensed in the blink of an eye, suddenly forming a black hammer in Tang Hao's right palm.
The hammer was large and thick, with deep and intricate patterns on it, and a sense of solemnity emanated from it; it was his martial spirit, the Haotian Hammer.
"Oh? The Clear Sky Hammer? You're Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo?"
Upon noticing the hammer that suddenly appeared in Tang Hao's right hand, Bone Douluo's eyes narrowed. Without even thinking, he immediately recognized it as the Clear Sky Hammer, and at the same time, he recognized Tang Hao's identity.
"It is I."
Tang Hao's hoarse and deep voice emanated from his black robe and hat.
"I never expected that you, a junior, would have cultivated to this level so quietly, and you are in no way inferior to me."
"Bone Douluo sighed."
"Hehe, just lucky, you flatter me."
Tang Hao said calmly. Although he spoke casually, his tone clearly revealed an air of arrogance.
"Then, Lord Haotian, shouldn't you explain why you're here, and why you're hiding here?"
Politeness aside, it was still necessary to figure out Tang Hao's purpose in being here. After asking this question, Bone Douluo immediately added:
"If you intend to harm our sect leader, then don't blame me for being impolite."
When he said those words, Bone Douluo's tone became noticeably sharper, and his aura became increasingly eerie.
Facing the imposing Bone Douluo, Tang Hao was not afraid, but he also didn't explain anything, only saying calmly:
"Tang San is my son."
Bone Douluo's expression froze for a moment:
"What? Tang San is your son?"
After a day's work, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had thoroughly investigated Tang San's information. They knew he possessed twin martial souls and the bloodline of the Clear Sky Sect, but they never expected that he was actually Tang Hao's son.
It turns out that Tang Hao was hiding in the shadows to protect Tang San, which explains everything.
In an instant, Bone Douluo understood the reason and breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as it was not detrimental to the sect leader, it was fine.
With this in mind, Bone Douluo withdrew the strange soul power he had been gathering and looked up at Tang Hao:
"In that case, let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other."
"We've come here not to harm Tang San, but simply to learn some things from him."
After Bone Douluo finished speaking, he turned to return to the reception room to report to Ning Fengzhi, but Tang Hao stopped him.
"Bone Douluo, please wait a moment. I have something I would like to discuss with your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Bone Douluo turned to look at Tang Hao:
"What is it?"
Tang Hao pulled back the tattered robe and hood covering his head, revealing a disheveled face covered with a messy beard, before continuing:
"I know that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is very interested in the method of absorbing spirit rings at the limit of the theory of super spirit masters, which Poison Douluo Dugu Bo possesses. How about we cooperate?"
Bone Douluo's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly surprised that Tang Hao knew about this matter. But upon closer reflection, Tang Hao had been secretly following Tang San, so he probably knew about it earlier and in more detail than they did.
"How do we cooperate?"
After thinking for a moment, Bone Douluo asked.
"Simple. First, find Dugu Bo's lair in Sunset Forest. Then, send a Title Douluo from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to help me capture Dugu Bo, or simply..."
Tang Hao raised his hand and retracted his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, then made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is not easy to deal with. What if he gets away?"
Bone Douluo raised an objection, "Although Dugu Bo is not strong, his poison is a problem. It may not be a big deal for those above the Title Douluo level, but for those below the Title Douluo level, no one can withstand his poison."
"If he escapes, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"You may not be affected much as a lone individual, but our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a large and powerful organization that can't run away. If Dugu Bo comes after us for revenge, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will likely suffer heavy losses."
"Unless absolutely necessary, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not easily offend him."
Tang Hao nodded in understanding, then said calmly:
"However, it's not impossible, as long as we make sure Dugu Bo can't escape."
Bone Douluo looked at Tang Hao in surprise:
"Oh? You have a way?"
Tang Hao chuckled coldly and said:
"Doesn't Dugu Bo have a granddaughter named Dugu Yan? As long as we keep his most beloved granddaughter under control, I doubt he will abandon her."
I thought you'd come up with some brilliant idea, but this is all you've got? Using someone else's granddaughter to threaten them?
Bone Douluo frowned and gave Tang Hao a deep look. So you're not such a good person after all.
Although he didn't consider himself a good person, Bone Douluo would never stoop to using someone else's junior to threaten them.
Despite his ugly appearance and strange, dark abilities, he always acted with integrity.
Bone Douluo neither agreed nor disagreed with Tang Hao's proposed method, but instead asked:
"If it succeeds, how will the spoils be divided?"
Tang Hao said in a hoarse voice:
"You can have that method of absorbing spirit rings to the extreme, but my son Tang San must have priority in using it."
"And the cultivation resources my son Tang San will need in the future will be provided by your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Anyway, your family is so big and powerful, this small request is not unreasonable, is it?"
"As for the rest, you can discuss it with my son Tang San; I won't get involved."
Bone Douluo pondered for a moment. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally wanted the method of absorbing soul rings beyond the limit, but their main purpose was not that. Rather, they wanted the immortal herbs that might appear in Dugu Bo's herb garden.
However, Tang Hao did not mention this, which clearly shows that he did not understand the importance of immortal-grade medicinal herbs. Of course, perhaps he did not believe that such a divine object would appear in Dugu Bo's herb garden, so he did not pay attention to it.
From this perspective, obtaining the method for absorbing spirit rings at the ultimate limit is the most important thing.
As for providing Tang San with cultivation resources, that's fine. With the size of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they have as many cultivation resources as they need, and he won't need much of them.
Thinking of this, Bone Douluo nodded subconsciously:
"This allocation is acceptable."
Tang Hao smiled slightly and said:
"So, you mean your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School agrees to cooperate?"
Bone Douluo slowly shook his head upon hearing this:
"I cannot give you a direct answer regarding the cooperation. I will report to the sect leader first, and then the sect leader will make the final decision."
Tang Hao waved his hand:
"It's alright. You just need to convey my words to Sect Leader Ning. I believe he will make the right choice."
Bone Douluo nodded, then asked again:
"So, there's one last question: how do we find Dugu Bo's lair in Sunset Forest?"
"Sending someone to follow Dugu Bo is obviously unrealistic; it would easily alert him."
"Sending people deep into the Sunset Forest to search is the same. Not to mention that soul beasts roam freely in it, the Sunset Forest is incredibly vast. Even if we search every inch of it, we don't know how many years it would take to pinpoint its location."
"This is clearly not advisable either."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao confidently replied:
"The matter of finding Dugu Bo's herb garden does not require your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to take action; my son Tang San can handle it."
"My son Tang San is very knowledgeable in the concoction of poisons and the identification of poisons, and Dugu Bo also likes to study poisons. His herb garden must be full of poisons, which makes it easier to find many of them."
"In a few days, those kids from Shrek Academy will set off for Sunset Forest for combat training, and while they're at it, they'll also be secretly searching for Dugu Bo's hideout."
"Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can send people to accompany us. Once we discover the location of Dugu Lao's lair, it will be convenient to notify you."
Bone Douluo nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.
Tang Hao wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and reached out to pull at his tattered robe and hood, covering his face:
"Someone has arrived, so let's stop here for now. Bone Douluo, go back and inform Sect Leader Ning about the cooperation. We can discuss the rest next time."
After saying that, Tang Hao's figure flashed and disappeared into the shadows.
Bone Douluo shook his head slightly as he watched Tang Hao's figure disappear.
Fortunately, I was the one who accompanied the sect leader this time. If it were Chen Xin, that warlike swordsman, seeing Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, he would definitely have been unable to resist challenging him to a duel, to see which was the strongest weapon spirit in the Douluo Continent: the Seven Kill Sword or the Clear Sky Hammer.
Ha ha
With a light laugh, Bone Douluo also vanished from his spot in a flash.
Not long after.
A round, chubby figure with a mohawk hairstyle rushed over from a distance.
It was none other than Ma Hongjun, the phoenix of the brothel.
Walking to the awning where Tang Hao had just stood in the shadows, Ma Hongjun looked around and, finding no one nearby, immediately unzipped his pants and bent over in Tang Hao's direction.
Tang Hao, who was hiding in the shadows, turned green upon seeing this.
