Facing Yu Tianheng's attack, Yu Tianxin performed with relative ease, but unfortunately, the Shrek Team had Tang San, a Spirit King. Although the other members of the Thunder Team had already done their best, they ultimately lost to Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
On the arena, only Yu Tianxin of the Thunder Team was left struggling, but soon, with Tang San and a few others joining, Yu Tianxin finally lost.
Yu Tianxin's face was pale, clearly indicating a significant drain on both his stamina and spirit power. He looked at Yu Tianheng with an unwilling expression and said, "If it weren't for others helping you, you really wouldn't have won against me!"
Yu Tianheng's expression stiffened, but he smiled and said, "Can you blame me if your own teammates aren't strong enough?"
The Host immediately announced, "The match is over! The Shrek Team wins!"
In the audience, Xiao Tian said to the others, "The two matches this morning are over. Let's go too."
Dugu Bo nodded, "Hmm, in today's nine-to-five matches, the Spirit Hall Team had a bye. Then our academy and Shrek Academy advanced. The two matches this afternoon were not of high quality, both from the Star Luo Empire. It seems the three teams that will ultimately advance to the finals are our academy, Shrek, and Spirit Hall. Let's go!"
Inside the hotel private room.
Ning Fengzhi then asked, "Xiao Tian, why does Tang San look different from before? Wasn't he going to attach a spirit ring to his Clear Sky Hammer during that time? Why has even his appearance changed? He looks more like Tang Hao. Can his appearance really change because of attaching a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Chen Xin also nodded. He had wanted to ask earlier, but there were too many people in the Spirit Arena, and Tang Hao was also hidden in the void, making it inconvenient to ask.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin felt that Tang San's changes were 100% directly or indirectly related to Xiao Tian, as Xiao Tian had also disappeared during that time and should have left with Tang San.
Xiao Tian said indifferently, "That's because the part of his bloodline belonging to his mother has disappeared, so he has become almost identical to the former Tang Hao. Haven't you noticed that Tang San only uses his Clear Sky HammerSpirit now and no longer uses his Blue Silver GrassSpirit? It's not that he doesn't want to use it, but that he can't."
"What? His bloodline disappeared?"
Among the people present, besides Xiao Wu and Dugu Bo who knew the specific reason, the others were also greatly shocked. This was the first time they had heard that a bloodline could disappear?
Chen Xin frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Tian, Tang San's situation should be related to you, right? Tell me if you used some unfavorable secret methods. Listen to my advice, such methods harm others without benefiting oneself, you should still..."
Chen Xin was quite concerned about Xiao Tian, and a hint of worry could be seen on his face. He even used such a euphemistic way of speaking. What 'unfavorable secret methods' did he mean? Wasn't he referring to the secret methods of fallen Spirit Masters (Evil Spirit Masters)?
Among Evil Spirit Masters, there indeed seemed to be secret methods that absorb others' blood energy to enhance one's own strength, but this method does not bring much benefit to oneself; it merely allows for a significant increase in spirit power level in a short period of time.
"Grandpa Sword, what are you saying! Xiao Tian is not that kind of person!" Ning Rongrong also understood Chen Xin's implied meaning and immediately spoke up to defend Xiao Tian.
She believed in Xiao Tian 100% and knew he would never be that kind of evil person.
"Rongrong, how are you speaking to your Grandpa Sword? Your Grandpa Sword didn't mean that." Ning Fengzhi said lightly.
Xiao Tian quickly pulled Ning Rongrong, shook his head at her, and then looked at Chen Xin, saying, "Grandpa Sword, please rest assured, how could I have such a secret method to absorb bloodlines from the human body? You should know who Tang San's mother is, right?"
Xiao Tian thought for a moment, then decided to take this opportunity to tell them about Ah Yin's existence. The timing was just right, and it wouldn't seem too sudden.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged glances, then said, "Hmm, we weren't sure before, but now we know. Tang San's mother should be named Ah Yin, right? Back then, Tang Hao, Ah Yin, and the newborn Tang San were hunted down, seemingly because Ah Yin was a 100,000-year Spirit Beast who had transformed into human form, and Supreme PontiffQian Xunji wanted her Spirit Bone."
"Under normal circumstances, people from Spirit Hall would not hunt down innocent individuals unless they had committed a great evil. Later, after inquiring, we learned that it was actually for a certain secret treasure on Tang Hao. Then, it was rumored that Tang Hao, after advancing to Titled Douluo, single-handedly severely injured Qian Xunji and defeated Ju Gui Douluo. Qian Xunji was rumored to have died from his severe injuries not long after returning."
"But subsequently, Spirit Hall merely sent people to the Clear Sky Sect to exert pressure and demand an explanation for Qian Xunji. The Clear Sky Sect then sealed its gates, and the contemporary Old Sect Master was angered to death. However, Spirit Hall later gave up on hunting Tang Hao."
"This is actually quite abnormal, unless that secret treasure was already destroyed during that pursuit, or for some reason, it could no longer be used by Spirit Hall."
"At first, I thought it was a 100,000-year Spirit Bone, because even a 70,000 or 80,000-year Spirit Bone couldn't have caused Qian Xunji to make such a big fuss. But given that Tang Hao advanced to Titled Douluo, and later I heard that Tang Hao's wife coincidentally disappeared during that pursuit, then there's only one possibility: his wife Ah Yin must be one of the extremely rare 100,000-year Spirit Beasts on the Continent who transformed into human form."
"Then it's not strange that Spirit Hall launched a pursuit against Tang Hao, and the reason is quite sufficient. Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters, due to their conflicting stances, should not have been together in the first place."
After Ning Fengzhi slowly finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Tian and smiled, "Do you think what I said is right?"
Xiao Tian nodded, "As expected of Uncle Ning, you can even guess this with such a small clue. That's right, this matter is indeed related to Ah Yin."
With a thought from Xiao Tian, Ah Yin's figure suddenly emerged from his body, slowly solidifying.
Ah Yin looked at everyone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Ah Yin."
Xiao Wu, seeing Ah Yin appear openly, also hugged her, "Sister Ah Yin, you can finally appear openly now."
Ning Rongrong and Zhuqing looked at Xiao Wu in surprise, saying, "Xiao Wu, you know each other?"
Xiao Wu giggled, "Yes, originally, big brother was going to tell you after the competition when we returned to the Sect, but since Tang San was mentioned now, big brother thought it would be better to just say it now."
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan looked at her Grandpa beside her, who was also smiling and nodding, and she looked at him with some suspicion, "Grandpa, you wouldn't happen to know too, would you?"
