Chapter 31: Tang San Changes His Name and Identity
Tang San kept his eyes tightly shut, sensing every single Blue Silver Grass in the forest emitting faint spiritual fluctuations. Though individually weak, the sheer number of them spread across the land formed an enormous spiritual field, merging with his own spiritual power.
Through this connection, the range of his perception multiplied exponentially. It was as if every blade of Blue Silver Grass had become his eyes and ears.
Tang San had previously been able to use his spiritual power to probe his surroundings, but now, by borrowing the vast spiritual network of the Blue Silver Grass, the area he could perceive had expanded to an almost terrifying extent.
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind without warning
"King! Great King! Is it truly you? You have finally arrived here. Praise the heavens!"
King?
Was it… speaking to him?
Tang San was shocked. He couldn't understand why a voice had suddenly appeared in his spiritual world.
Standing beside him, Tang Hao wore a subtle smile and said calmly, "You should have felt it by now. Go ahead, I'll wait here. Sometimes, obtaining a spirit ring doesn't require hunting."
Although Tang San did not fully comprehend his father's words, he still rose to his feet.
To his astonishment, even without actively controlling his spiritual power, the strong spiritual force remained connected to him, continuously calling out to him.
As he stepped into the forest, Tang San suddenly felt the presence of spirit beasts around him…
Yet, instead of hostility, their threatening aura weakened significantly
As if the beasts were deliberately making way for him.
With his father's approval, Tang San no longer hesitated. He leaped forward, swiftly following the spiritual pull.
Tang Hao watched his son gradually disappear into the forest.
Only when Tang San's figure was completely out of sight did he sit down on a nearby rock and quietly wait.
That wait lasted for over half a month.
During this time, Tang Hao could sense that the entire forest's spirit energy had grown increasingly active.
Clearly, his son's bloodline awakening was progressing smoothly.
All he could do now…
Was wait.
When Tang San finally emerged from the forest, Tang Hao immediately sensed his presence.
Opening his eyes, he saw his son's transformed appearance and began trembling with emotion.
After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, Tang San's appearance had changed drastically.
Gone was his ordinary, unimpressive look he had transformed into a handsome young man.
At this moment, no one would be able to recognize him as the Tang San from before.
But the real reason Tang Hao was so deeply moved…
Was because Tang San's new appearance strongly resembled his late wife, Ah Yin.
To him, this was an overwhelming shock.
For a moment, he was about to embrace his son in excitement.
But just then
"Dad…"
Tang San's voice snapped Tang Hao back to reality.
His fantasy shattered.
Ah Yin was gone.
Tang Hao sighed heavily.
Looking at his son, he murmured, "Did you know? Your mother was incredibly beautiful. The most beautiful woman in the world. Gentle, kind, stunning… It felt like all the words created to describe beauty existed only for her. Now, you finally look a little like her. I can almost see her waving at me again."
Hearing his father's words, Tang San fell silent.
The joy of awakening his bloodline quietly faded, replaced by a deep melancholy.
A long silence followed.
Finally, Tang Hao was the first to regain his composure.
"Summon your martial spirit. Let me see it."
"Alright."
Tang San nodded, raising his hand.
A cluster of Blue Silver Grass emerged from his palm.
However, it no longer had the sharp thorns given by Ghost Vine it was simply thicker than ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Yet, its crystal clear, sapphire like leaves, adorned with golden veins, radiated a majestic beauty.
This wasn't just Blue Silver Grass
It was the Blue Silver Emperor.
If ordinary Blue Silver Grass was considered trash, then the Blue Silver Emperor was an absolute top tier martial spirit!
Tang Hao gazed at the transformed Blue Silver Grass in his son's hand and nodded.
"Your Blue Silver Grass now looks completely different from the common kind. This is good it will reduce the risk of exposure when you use your martial spirit."
"From now on, to outsiders, you will claim that your martial spirit is a mutated Golden Vein Grass."
"Also, you must discard the name 'Tang San.' You need a new identity."
"Only this way can you move through the Spirit Master world without revealing yourself."
Hearing his father's instructions, Tang San knew this was for his own safety.
Naturally, he had no objections.
But what should his new name be?
Tang Lan? Tang Yin? Tang Cao?
No, even his surname could be a risk.
It was better to change it completely…
After some deep thought, Tang San finally made his decision.
Raising his head to look at Tang Hao, he said, "Dad, I've decided. From now on, my name will be Lan Wu."
The surname Lan (Blue) came from Blue Silver Grass.
The name Wu (Dance) was to commemorate Xiao Wu.
Though it sounded like a girl's name, it was just a pseudonym, so he didn't care.
There were plenty of weird and ridiculous names in the world.
And besides, this wasn't his real name anyway.
It didn't matter if it sounded strange.
"Lan Wu…?"
Tang Hao nodded.
He glanced at Tang San with a deep look but said nothing more.
Meanwhile.
Zhu Zhuqing was in grave danger.
The assassins sent by her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, had finally caught up to her.
Deep within a remote forest
"Second Miss, you really made us search for you."
A scar faced middle aged man sneered.
He was a burly man with seven spirit rings surrounding him white, yellow, yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
Although his spirit ring configuration was terrible, it didn't change the fact that he was a Spirit Sage (Rank 70+ Spirit Master).
Even if he was the weakest among Spirit Sages, to Zhu Zhuqing, he was still an insurmountable threat.
This was a life or death situation.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained cold and composed.
Her body tensed, ready to fight at any moment.
Running wasn't an option
The assassins had surrounded her from all directions.
Aside from the scar faced Spirit Sage, there were also six Spirit Kings (Rank 50+) and seven Spirit Elders (Rank 40+).
An overwhelming force.
To hunt a single Spirit Elder girl, this lineup was beyond excessive.
