Chapter 107: Little Spirit Saint

Chapter 107: Little Spirit Saint

When Tang Hao awoke, he found his head throbbing and his body being jostled violently.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The relentless jostling proved too much for Tang Hao, who was already severely injured, and he started coughing violently.

The jostling stopped, and Tang Hao heard a familiar voice calling out to him.

"Haotian Douluo... Haotian Douluo! You're finally awake!"

Tang Hao opened his eyes cautiously and found himself lying on a flatbed cart, with only a layer of straw beneath him.

He turned his head and saw Yu Xiaogang, and he also realized that they were currently on a secluded path.

"Master, what happened? Why am I here?" Tang Hao asked, feeling parched and his body in pain. But apart from the physical discomfort, he felt an even greater distress in his heart, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

"I'm not sure either, Haotian Douluo, why you're in this state. But our top priority is to hurry to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and rescue San.

It's been almost a month since he was taken by the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Who knows what kind of torture he's been subjected to if we don't get there soon enough!" Yu Xiaogang reminded him anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao recalled what he needed to do. Yes, Tang San had been captured by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! When he had learned of this from the Tianwu Academy, he had been furious. But the people from the academy were unreasonable and had sent two Douluos and two Titled Douluos to ambush him.

He had only managed to kill the one who had initially inflicted these severe injuries on him before he was captured himself!

The people from the Spirit Hall had cut off one of his legs, taken away his leg bone, and made him remove his eighth spirit ring.

The young man from the Tianwu Academy had cut off his arm and removed his ninth spirit ring.

It all came flooding back to him.

That young man from the Tianwu Academy was seeking revenge because his parents had been killed by Tang Hao. He had even taken hostage... who was it that Wang Si had taken hostage?

His head started throbbing again, and he couldn't remember who it was that had been kidnapped by that fellow.

"Haotian Douluo, are you alright? Can we go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to rescue San in this state?" Yu Xiaogang asked worriedly.

Tang Hao waved his hand dismissively and then struggled to stand up.

He breathed heavily, and as he exhaled a breath of foul air, he started coughing uncontrollably again.

The injuries he had sustained over a decade ago were still severe, and being badly wounded by another Douluo hadn't helped. On top of that, he had soaked in the ice spring for several days, causing the cold poison to enter his body. Tang Hao felt that his body was in the worst state it had ever been in.

However, every cloud has a silver lining. Tang Hao was aware that his current injuries had not affected his source, and with some recuperation, he would be able to recover.

Instinctively, Tang Hao prepared to use his ninth spirit ability, only to realize that he no longer had it.

The ninth spirit ring had granted him not only a powerful offensive ability that could absorb the life force of surrounding beings but also a passive skill that allowed him to absorb the life energy from his surroundings to heal his wounds.

"Never mind," Tang Hao thought. "So what if I don't have the ninth spirit ring? These injuries are nothing!"

"Haotian Douluo?" Yu Xiaogang asked, seeing Tang Hao spacing out.

Tang Hao snapped out of his thoughts and breathed heavily again before grabbing Yu Xiaogang by the collar and flying into the air.

"Show me the way, quick!"

......

"Haotian Douluo????"

Ning Fengzhi frowned as he looked at the man standing before him at the entrance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"It's me," Tang Hao said, looking directly at Ning Fengzhi, unconcerned by the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo standing behind him.

Ning Fengzhi didn't ask about Tang Hao's condition but instead waved his hand, signaling for the others to step back. He then invited Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang to come inside the sect for a chat.

"There's no need to go inside. You should know why I'm here, and I have other important matters to attend to. I can't afford to waste too much time here," Tang Hao said.

Ning Fengzhi's concern for Tang Hao was understandable, but he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed in the man's current state.

After all, how much could a man who didn't even dare to enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be worth?

"We've investigated the matter after you left, and it truly was an accident.

As for Tang San, we've already provided him with ample compensation, and we've even found him a suitable thousand-year-old spirit bone.

He's a brilliant young man, a genius. He not only created a set of spirit abilities that anyone can use but also has a profound understanding of mechanisms!"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head sadly as he spoke of Tang San, but Tang Hao's brows furrowed.

"Where's San? I'm only planning on taking him away today."

Ning Fengzhi gently shook his head at the gloomy-faced Tang Hao.

"Haotian Douluo, your son is our esteemed guest. Please rest assured that we mean him no harm.

Currently, he's in the middle of a significant transaction with our sect.

Before its completion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will not allow anyone to take him away, especially since Tang San himself is not here at the moment.

Of course, Haotian Douluo, I understand your paternal love, but why don't you stay in Heaven Dou City for a few days?

The deadline for the transaction is in a couple of days, and by then, you can ask him yourself if our sect forced him into this deal."

Ning Fengzhi's demeanor was respectful, and his eyes were sincere, as if the man before him was still the renowned Haotian Douluo and not a crippled Soul Saint with only one arm and one leg.

However, the more respectful Ning Fengzhi was, the more uneasy Tang Hao felt. But he was in no position to argue.

"Haotian Douluo, let's wait in Heaven Dou City for a couple of days."

Seeing Tang Hao's hesitation, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to speak up. Tang Hao nodded.

"With your sect's capabilities, finding me in Heaven Dou City should be easy. After this so-called transaction is completed, bring San to see me!"

With that, Tang Hao grabbed Yu Xiaogang and soared into the sky.

As he watched Tang Hao leave, Ning Fengzhi slowly retracted his smile.

"Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, what's the deal with Tang Hao? What have you two figured out?"

Once he was sure that Tang Hao couldn't see or hear them, Ning Fengzhi asked.

"He has the aura of a Title Douluo. He must have reached that level before.

His aura is unstable now, probably because he suffered a recent decline. I think someone cut off his arms and legs.

Losing two spirit bones isn't fatal for a Title Douluo, but it would force a downgrade."

"As for Tang Hao's current strength, it's hard to say. After all, he used to be a Title Douluo, and his martial soul is the top-grade Haotian Hammer.

But his physical condition is poor, as if he's been subjected to inhumane torture. If he fights for too long, his body will definitely have problems.

Of course, the most worrying factor, the hundred thousand-year-old spirit ring, should no longer exist. After all, he's been targeted so severely that his eighth and ninth spirit rings are most likely gone as well."

"In summary, he's a Haotian Hammer Soul Saint capable of short bursts of high power but unable to sustain prolonged combat."

The Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo took turns analyzing Tang Hao's current state.

"Are you sure his physical condition is a recent development?" Ning Fengzhi asked again.

"Yes, the wounds haven't healed yet, so it must have happened recently..."
