Tang San stared blankly at his right leg, which was yellowish-brown, covered in short hair, and even had its toes turned into plum blossom toes.
An unprecedented sense of humiliation, mixed with endless regret and anger.
It erupted from the depths of his heart like a volcano, instantly engulfing his entire body.
Who is Tang San?
A genius who was once in a century in the Tang Sect in his previous life, and a prodigy with twin martial souls in this life, possessing innate full soul power!
His future path leads to the stars and the sea, to ascend to godhood, and to look down upon all living beings!
But what about now?
He absorbed a ten-year-old soul bone.
A dog's leg!
How will he face people after this?
How would Xiao Wu and the others see themselves?
How will my Shrek Academy classmates see me?
How would the Soul Masters across the continent refer to themselves?
Tang dog?
The mere thought of that title made Tang San's body tremble uncontrollably, a mixture of extreme anger and shame.
He is a human being!
It's not a dog!
!!
Just then, Tang Hao's voice, tinged with a smile, came from not far away, breaking the deathly silence.
"Little San, have you finished absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul bone? How does it feel?"
"..."
This concerned inquiry sounded more grating to Tang San than the most vicious curse.
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at his father who was walking towards him, the anger in his chest no longer able to be suppressed.
"Absorb your entire family?!"
A roar, suppressing boundless rage, burst forth from Tang San's throat.
Tang Hao's smile froze instantly.
He stopped, his brows furrowed, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.
"Mistress, how dare you speak to your father like that?"
"Father?"
Tang San laughed, a laugh more ugly than a cry, his voice filled with sarcasm and resentment.
"What kind of father are you?"
"I'm absorbing a soul bone! This is one of the most crucial moments in a soul master's life! Instead of protecting me, you've come here shouting and disturbing my peace of mind!"
"Do you know that because of that shout from you, I...I..."
Tang San's voice choked with emotion. He pointed to his right leg and roared with all his might.
"Look at my legs!"
Tang Hao followed Tang San's finger, initially with a hint of doubt and confusion.
But when his gaze fell on Tang San's strange right leg, he froze.
What is that?
Short, tan fur, a gaunt, bony frame, and feet that were clearly shaped like animal claws...
Tang Hao felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he staggered backward, taking three or four steps before he could barely regain his balance.
His eyes widened, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He rubbed his eyes hard, as if trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
However, that ugly dog leg was still clearly reflected in his pupils.
"The mistress...you...your leg..."
Tang Hao's tone was filled with shock.
"What's wrong with your lackey...?"
"lackey?"
Tang San gave a bitter laugh, tears mixed with humiliation sliding down his cheeks.
"That's right! It's a dog's leg! Thanks to you, I just absorbed a ten-year-old mongrel's right leg bone!"
"boom!"
These words struck Tang Hao's heart like a heavy hammer.
The sky has fallen.
Only these three words remained in Tang Hao's mind.
His son...
His son, whom he was so proud of and whom he regarded as the only hope in his life...
He absorbed a ten-year-old soul bone?
Or is it just a lackey?
How is that possible!
That's absolutely impossible!
Tang Hao's body swayed violently. He looked at Tang San, then at the dog's leg, his eyes filled with confusion, pain, and despair.
He was always proud of Tang San.
He possesses twin martial souls, is born with full soul power, has a resilient character, and is exceptionally talented.
He is the hope for the revival of the Clear Sky Sect, the object of his revenge against the Spirit Hall, and the greatest pride of Tang Hao's life!
But now, that pride is shattered.
It shattered completely, leaving not a single fragment.
A Soul Master with a dog-leg soul bone is destined to become a laughing stock across the entire continent!
Seeing Tang Hao's distraught appearance, Tang San's resentment grew even stronger.
"What? Now you know you regret it?"
"Too late!"
Tang San's voice became shrill.
"Tang Hao! I'm asking you, how dare you call yourself my father!"
"Since I was born, have you ever cared for me for even a single day? You abandoned me in Holy Soul Village and left me to fend for myself! I almost died in that little village!"
"Now that I've finally grown up and reached the crucial moment of absorbing soul bones to enhance my strength, you've jumped out to cause trouble again!"
"It was you! You ruined me! You destroyed your son with your own hands!"
Tang San's accusations were like the sharpest knives, cutting into Tang Hao's heart.
Tang Hao's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he wanted to explain, but found himself speechless.
Yes, he owes this son so much.
After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a weak and feeble sentence.
"No matter what... I'm still your father!"
"Father? You don't deserve it!"
Tang San roared resolutely.
The heated argument between the father and son finally alerted Tang Chen, who was some distance away.
A figure moved with lightning speed, appearing instantly beside the campfire.
"What happened?"
Tang Chen frowned, his gaze sweeping between Tang Hao and Tang San, finally settling on Tang San's right leg.
The next moment, the pupils of this demigod suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
His breath caught in his throat for a moment.
Even when he learned that Xingluo City had been captured, he had not lost his composure like this.
He strode up to Tang San, staring intently at the dog's leg, his voice trembling slightly.
"Mistress, you...you absorbed the lackey?"
Tang Chen's heart was bleeding.
His great-grandson!
The one who will inherit the position of the Asura God in the future!
He was always proud of this great-grandson, considering him the most outstanding genius in the Tang family for generations!
But now...
Lord Asura has absorbed the lackey!
This is not just a stain, it's a huge joke!
This will be an indelible shame for him, for Tang San, for the entire Clear Sky Sect, and even for the future God Realm!
...
Tang Chen's appearance was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Tang San looked at his great-grandfather's astonished eyes and felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had been stripped naked in public, and all his dignity and pride had been trampled underfoot and crushed to pieces.
He was too ashamed to face anyone.
He could no longer face anyone.
An indescribable sense of despair and collapse completely overwhelmed his reason.
"ah--!"
Tang San raised his head, opened his mouth, and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
"No!!!"
The voice was filled with endless pain, regret, anger, and resentment.
It pierced through the night, tore apart the silent forest, and echoed for a long time in the sky above the entire Starry Sky Forest.
