  2. Muahahaha!!! FEEL THE WRATH OF OP TANG SAN!!! >:D >:D
    Now to expose the spirit bones power, and rule the world!!! ………*cough* sorry got carried away.

    Side note:
    I think i would die laughing if he used his hammer with no rings to defeat the elder’s own hammer that probably has 7 or 8 rings.

    • People say revenge won’t make you happy but so far, I feel overjoyed over the fact that tang san is practically displaying power that makes the other disciples trash. Oh, I totally agree that he needs to take over the world! Can’t wait for the moment he executes, er, I mean, kindly exchanges pointers with that cocky seventh elder. He’d chicken out if tang san’s actual father showed up.

      • I always found revenge will make you unhappy saying to be a bad phrase. It really depends on the person and who you’re taking revenge on. If the person had a strong back g then you’ll really hit an iron board where as I’d a pickpocketer stole your money and you killed home for it doubt anyone would bat an eye… this world had way too many double standards and not to mention the hypocrisy.

          • Consequently, my spirit power has now dropped to the seventy fifth rank. But don’t worry, the two spirit rings I got rid of were only the two lowest ranked ones. Even if only thirty percent of my spirit power remains compared to before, in this world, it would require at least a Title Douluo level to be able to put me to rest. The military glory of Clear Sky can only continue with you in the future.”

              So mommy and daddy both risked Clear Sky for their love.

              And 100,000 year beasts are too rare and valuable. In fact, even Tang Hao, even after marrying a 100,000 year beast and missing her, would have killed Xiao Wu if she wasn’t his sons lover.

              This is a world of war and if you got a treasure/weapon that is both too valuable or powerful, then people will hurt you or your family to get it.

              In that kind of world, they still chose their relationship and risked the clan.

              Dad put his love before the clan and Mom was the reason for their troubles.

              • The child of their greatest genius and an unfathomably powerful creature comes to be tested to formally join the clan. This elder in particular can’t stand his parents, so it’s suddenly ok to provoke him using his murdered mother. Totally no chance of him being both powerful and insulted. At the very least the elder should have waited until they had some basic information like say, dual spirits or double innate realms. The sect in general would naturally be angry, but wouldn’t Tang San naturally be angry as well?

                Aaaaaah, I’m so confused what we are talking about anymore. He did react less to the insults to Tang Hao, because he is there to make things right in the first place. Perhaps he should have not married a spirit beast, but even more he should have waited until she was completely human before trying to take her home.

                I personally can stand that specific elder less and less haha.

                • The elder does have good reason to hate both of Tang San’s parents.

                  Both of his parents brought danger and ruin to the clan.

                  And because this is a world where the crime of the parent can be blamed upon the child, they truly didn’t care about his talent, they just wanted him gone.

                  And the elder lost his child because of their actions, so it makes even more sense to be hostile.

                  Losing ones child, the humiliation of their powerful clan in hiding (and humiliation like that is worse in their world than ours) and then seeing the child of the 2 people that basically ruined their great clan….

                  I just can’t blame the old guy…

                  And while I dislike them for their actions, I can’t blame Spirit Hall either, cause it was too good of a treasure to pass up.

                    Isn’t spirit hall wiping out all of the clans right now anyway? That they can openly exterminate even a clan supporting the emperor shocks me. It’s like they’ve already won.

                  • I can understand, why Spirit Hall wouldn’t want to pass up on a 100 000 year spirit beast, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of their actions were justified. In my opinion, they had no right to punish Clear Sky School for Tang Hao’s actions, especially since the school had already distanced itself from him and had practically kicked him out. Also, while he did kill their Supreme Ponitff, it was the Supreme Pontiff who attacked him and his family, driving his wife into suicide. Actually, I don’t think they have any right to hate Tang Hao either (but then again, I often feel that the concept of what warrants revenge in this series is quite strange. Why the hell do you need to take revenge for a comrade who knowingly and willingly participated in and subsequently lost and got injured in a perfectly fair duel?). But going against Clear Sky School because of what he did sounds to me more like they were glad to have found such a nice excuse.

                      Besides, the previous Supreme Pontiff got killed over what essentially amounts to an animal in their eyes. If the Catholic pope got killed in a squabble over a dog, even if it was an expensive dog, I don’t doubt there would be some people unhappy with the killer.

                      In some ways, it is a world where everyone is evil… Just the degrees differ.

                      Also it works with power in a xianxia world.

                      SH is stronger than CS so they can get away with it.

                      Like how a prince killing a beggar is okay but the reverse is not (extreme example to make a point).

                      It is a world where strong eat the weak are meat.

                  • Correct.

                    The elder does have all the reason to hate Tan San and his parents, but that does give him the rights to raise finger at Tang San’s mother’s character. Saying that Tang San is a bastard and his mother is a devil and what not is an insult no son can take.

                    Also, the Clear Sky Sect who gives so much importance to strength and power, but ultimately got scared of Spirit Hall’s power can only blame their weakness rather then blaming Tang San’s parents. Also, as Tang San correctly pointed, their anger should be directed toward Spirit Hall.

                    Lastly, regarding Tang San’s mother being a ‘too good of a treasure’ personally, I remember Xiao Wu once wondered why Spirit Master’s have to kill spirit beasts and why can they not get their spirit ring without killing. Towards the end, I really forward to Tang San (alongside Xiao Wu) developing a way out of this problem.

                    Like

                    • Well, I don’t think things work out like that… Xiao Wu’s wondering was probably because she herself could create Spirit Rings…

                      But that in itself is related to the fact that she herself was a Spirit Beast of 100,000 years, which is the Title Douluo of Spirit beast. So it’s like she’s regaining her power which she has lost.

                      And even then, only Spirit Beast create Spirit bone.. and to be honest, I originally felt that way… but after reading and getting more into Xianxia, I felt that it was too shonen of an ending…

                      I mean, what kind of Xianxia world goes for world peace and to avoid killing animals…

                      Xianxia justifies war and murder, slaughter and annihilation. The weak above the strong unless if the weak has good backing.

                      So, back when this was my first Xianxia, I felt that way… but now, it’d feel like its in the wrong Genre if it does that…

        • Clear Sky DID have a reason. Tang Hao KNEW that marrying his wife was dangerous. Heck, if he didn’t love her, he’d have probably killed her himself.

          And even then, when given the chance to let her go, he instead fought back.

          His actions all risked the Clan and made many members die and forced them into hiding.

          Tang Hao, for his wife, endangered the clan. As a member of the clan, he should put the clan 1st and be willing to destroy all threats to the clan, whether it be his wife or child.

          Him chasing after love risked the entire clan.

          So Clear Sky does have a reason to hate him, and hate to the father transferred to the son… and in Xianxia culture, that in itself is justifiable, since it is a family/clan driven world where the sins of one shame the entire family.

          Since it was his daddy troubling the clan, the issue falls on him.

        • Yeah, hating on his father I can understand even if I can’t agree with it. Pulling in his murdered mother however…

          Instead of insulting people they should cultivate. If they spent more time on their own strength maybe they wouldn’t have to rely so much on others.

                One was willing to deal with Title Douluo, another sacrificed her freedom to chase him, and the last one fell for him despite it being forbidden…

                We didn’t get to see the reaction of the water girls, but he at least got respect…

                And this was before he got perfect manners to make a girl fall for him or when he looked good.

                Back when he didn’t look good, his personality and skill made him popular with the ladies.

                After his 2nd awakening, he grew handsome and actually attractive.

                After the evil city, he had a murderous aura that scared some, but also enthralled others.

                And once he took the class, he got the perfect mannerisms to get the ladies. And he didn’t lose the previous lady catching charms either (though he didn’t show them off either).

                So Tang San can get almost any girl he wants…

        • But it has already been stated in more than one case that, at a level as high as that, the difference between two ranks is already great. Therfore, you don’t need the eyebrow elder to be another level, it would be sufficient for him to be, say, 87th rank, while the seventh elder would be, say, 81st. And, as far as I understood it, what they said was that the elders hold as much power as the sect master (or more), which I would interpret as being some sort of respect for one’s elders and that the sect master can’t really go against them. Besides, there’s seven of them vs one sect master.

    • you’re right that does better relay the meaning of the word, however, it’s not a particularly insulting term in modern english and you would lose the impact of the insult, then tang san throwing down in a duel wouldn’t make as much sense, “mutt, well, no i’m not a dog, you *insert non-insulting term*” it’d lose some impact ^^

      it’s odd (thinking about it) that calling someone a dog and/or a bitch is insulting, but somehow mutt has lost it’s way as an insult…

      Like

      • Mutt also can be taken as mixed-breed. Not only that, comparing people to animals is derogatory in and of itself. Sort of “You’re less than human. You are just a mutt.”

        On the other hand, saying his married mother had him out of wedlock also seems a bit odd. I can’t read the chinese, but the elder comments that she is an “evil spirit beast” so he is just a “____.”

        Like

        • Mutt is almost considered a complement in parts of the US. A place where mixed blood is treated as interesting and pride worthy on some level. Its not really a insult in the English language.

          Like

          • In some parts of the US it might not be taken as an insult. I’ve seen someone tell a girl, “You’re such a b****.” This was meant as a compliment after the girl had ‘burned’ someone else. This doesn’t mean that the word itself isn’t derogatory though. It’s hard to find a word in the English language that could mean ‘not a pure human’ or ‘part hundred-thousand year beast’. Maybe mongrel.

            I just went and looked up the actual definition. For a dog it means what you would expect. However, when the term is applied to humans it means something different. It is originally derived from the term muttonhead and each definition I found for mutt used “incompetent” “stupid” “fool” or “insignificant”. I was pretty off haha. Honestly I prefer mutts to purebred dogs.

  25. Thanks for all the hard work! I love this LN. Started reading the manhwa a while back and then came here. In the beginning the differences where slim and neglectable but after reading the LN it’s clear that i like it more. It’s more graphic (even without pictures :p) and doesn’t have to hold back as much. So again thanks!
