Fang Yang gazed at Tang Wulin, who was curled up on the ground, his body still trembling unconsciously, his face as pale as paper.
"That's enough, Tang Wulin..."
Fang Yang sighed softly, his voice carrying a hint of complex emotions.
His fingertip gently caressed his Storage Ring, and a cluster of azure Sea God's divine force emerged, swirling with a soft glow in his palm.
This power, originally belonging to Sea God Tang San, was now to be used to heal his son, Tang Wulin.
Fang Yang was not a heartless person; having spent so much time with Tang Wulin, he had long considered him a friend.
But if Tang Wulin were to become an obstacle in the future... a hint of Killing Intent flashed in his eyes.
The blue light cluster suddenly trembled violently, as if sensing something.
Fang Yang no longer hesitated, slowly injecting a cluster of Sea God's divine force into Tang Wulin's body.
As the Sea God's divine force entered his body, Tang Wulin's pale face gradually regained its color, and his trembling body calmed down.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light burst forth from his body.
"Bloodline Awakening?"
Fang Yang's brow subtly arched.
As the son of a God King, Tang Wulin's talent was already extraordinary.
His sister possessed twin spirits with full spirit power, so he wouldn't be far behind.
If not for the suppression of the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core, he should have awakened twin spirits. Now that the Golden Dragon King Bloodline was stripped away, the Sea God's divine force instead stimulated his dormant Bloodline potential.
Seeing five-colored lights—blue, red, green, yellow, and black—alternately flashing on Tang Wulin's body, with yellow being the weakest, Fang Yang, after careful sensing, couldn't help but show surprise.
"It's actually five kinds of mixed Bloodline..."
Sea God Bloodline, Asura Bloodline, Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Clear Sky Bloodline, and the weakest Human Race Bloodline, intertwined within Tang Wulin's body.
A glint flashed in Fang Yang's eyes, and an idea formed in his mind. The corner of his mouth curved into a meaningful smile: "Tang San, weren't you planning to use your son Tang Wulin as a pawn to achieve your millennium-long plan? Today, I'll give you a surprise!"
With a raise of his hand, myriad fires suddenly surged, completely enveloping Tang Wulin.
The exotic flames did not scorch the flesh, but directly permeated deep into the Bloodline.
"Refine!"
The five Bloodlines began to Fuse and reorganize under the淬炼 of the exotic flames.
Fang Yang used the Human Race Bloodline as the foundation, completely melting the Bloodline Power of the other four Bloodlines.
This was a Heaven-Defying act, he wanted to completely wash away all the means Tang San had left within Tang Wulin's body.
Within the flames, Tang Wulin's body underwent astonishing transformation.
The originally chaotic Bloodlines were sorted and reshaped, with the Human Race Bloodline taking dominance, while the other powers transformed into the Origin of his Spirit.
When the exotic flames dissipated, Tang Wulin's Spirit had completed its transformation.
The Blue Silver Grass evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, then Fused with the Sea God's divine force, becoming the azure "Sea God Blue Silver Emperor."
At the same time, the second Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, absorbed Asura Killing Intent, transforming into the dark-red "Asura Clear Sky Hammer."
Fang Yang contentedly observed the reborn Tang Wulin, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
He softly said, "From today onwards, Tang Wulin, you are no longer anyone's pawn; you live only for yourself!"
As these words fell, Tang Wulin's fate changed.
Subsequently, Fang Yang waved his hand, lifting the Heaven Sealing Divine Forbidden, and the space of the Fire Square gradually returned to normal, the dark-red sky receding like a tide.
Outside, it was already dusk, with the afterglow of the setting sun casting down through the clouds.
"Time to go out," Fang Yang murmured softly, carrying the still-sleeping Tang Wulin out of the internal space of the fire pearl.
Upon returning outside, Fang Yang gently shook Tang Wulin's shoulder: "Wu Lin, wake up, it's getting dark."
Tang Wulin's eyebrows trembled slightly, his consciousness slowly rising from deep sleep.
He felt this sleep was unusually long; at first, there was heart-wrenching pain, but later it became warm and comfortable, as if soaking in a hot spring.
"Where am I...?" Tang Wulin mumbled indistinctly, slowly opening his eyes.
"You're awake?" Fang Yang's voice came from beside him.
Tang Wulin was startled, his memories gradually returning, then he suddenly widened his eyes: "Fang Yang! Why did you knock me out just now?"
"I was afraid you'd be too sad and do something foolish," Fang Yang said with a slight smile.
Tang Wulin scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "How could I..."
"It's getting late..." Fang Yang looked up at the darkening sky, interrupting him.
Tang Wulin then realized the time: "Ah! I need to hurry back, or Mom and Dad will worry."
He was about to turn and leave when Fang Yang called out: "Wu Lin, wait a moment."
"Fang Yang, is there anything else?" Tang Wulin turned back, puzzled.
Fang Yang took out the crystal ball, which sealed a century soul spirit of a Datura Snake, from his Storage Ring and handed it to Tang Wulin: "This is for you; it should help you."
The glistening crystal ball shimmered under the setting sun, and Tang Wulin immediately recognized this precious century soul spirit.
His fingers trembled slightly, but he didn't immediately take it.
"Fang Yang, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Tang Wulin shook his head, refusing, his voice carrying a hint of stubbornness, "I'll just Fuse with that artificial grass snake Soul Spirit; that one suits me better..."
"I'm not giving it to you as a gift. Just take it. Aren't you learning forging? You can pay me back when you earn money. Besides, when I want to learn forging in the future, you'll have to teach me well."
Fang Yang tucked the crystal ball into his hand and said.
Tang Wulin gripped the crystal ball in his hand, his eyes welling up slightly.
He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Fang Yang, I will definitely pay you back for this century soul spirit. And if you want to learn forging in the future, I will certainly teach you well!"
"Okay, then I'll go first. You should also head back early," Fang Yang waved his hand and turned to merge into the twilight.
Tang Wulin stood rooted, watching Fang Yang's receding figure, his eyes glistening with moisture.
In his most lonely and helpless moments, Fang Yang had always been by his side, and now he was even giving him such a precious Soul Spirit...
"He has no way to repay, only to offer himself!"
Cough cough, it's fake, don't take it seriously!!!
As the sun set, two figures walked in different directions in the afterglow.
Only this time, Tang Wulin's steps were lighter than usual, and his heart was filled with unprecedented hope.
When Tang Wulin returned home, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were already terribly worried, but thankfully, their son was back...
When Tang Wulin pushed open the door, the warm light of the house lit up.
Tang Ziran and Lang Yue had been anxiously waiting for a long time. Seeing their son's figure, their suspended hearts finally settled.
"Wu Lin!" Lang Yue hurried forward, her hands tightly gripping her son's shoulders, her eyes slightly red, "Where did you run off to? Mom was worried sick."
Tang Ziran stood behind his wife, his eyes full of self-reproach and heartache.
During the time Tang Wulin had been gone, he had thought through many things. Regardless of blood ties, this child was his son, whom he treated as his own.
Tang Ziran's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Tang Wulin and said, "Dad wants to apologize to you. Tomorrow, I'll go get you a better Soul Spirit, I promise..."
Tang Wulin shook his head, a bright smile blossoming on his face: "Dad, it's not necessary."
He carefully took out the faintly glowing crystal ball from his embrace: "Fang Yang gave me a century Datura Snake Soul Spirit. When I earn money from forging later, I'll slowly pay him back."
Tang Ziran was surprised; he naturally understood the importance of this Soul Spirit.
"That child, Fang Yang..."
Lang Yue looked at the father and son, and clapped her hands at the right moment: "Alright, alright, let's talk while we eat. Wu Lin must be starving. Mom made your favorite braised pork ribs."
"Really?" Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, and his stomach rumbled at the opportune moment, making all three of them laugh.
