Chapter 16 - TANG CHEN VS TANG SAN

The sun rises but the Tang family and guests were already up and were on mountain training purple demon eyes. Both brothers and Xiao Wu are at the detailed realm, Tang Hao seems at peak of mustard seed and grandmaster master was at peak survey realm. After cultivating they all stood up went to Tang's home. Tang Chen has already prepared the breakfast, they all ate their fill.

Tang Chen decided to tell his guests about his space. He didn't tell them about its restrictions. They were shocked, to say the least, but didn't pry further as it was a sign of great trust as they told them about the thing that can literally start a war if exposed. They sincerely thanked Tang Chen.

Tang Chen then opened the magical space and took them inside. They were still shocked to see it with their own eyes. The great thing about magical space was that beasts cannot enter the herbal region otherwise there would be chaos because of Xiao Wu and blue silver king. After seeing the blue silver king, Xiao Wu seemed to be more relaxed as she remembers yesterday's conversation with Tang Hao.

After walking, both boys reached the center, the atmosphere around both brothers changed. The rest became the spectators giving them their space and went to the side near the blue silver king. Both brothers were now facing each other. They have stopped smiling and were having a serious expression. Suddenly both leaked their intent mixed with killing intent. Tang Chen was domineering and have more killing intent while Tang sans have firm and flexible, his killing intent was a lot less. Tang Chen has continued his hunting when his brother left. That and combined with the deathgod domain. Though his domain was very weak, he can truly show his power after 4 rings, but he still looks imposing. Tang San's seemed to counter his brother with his intent by flexibility making like yin yang pattern at their meeting point he successfully stopped his brother's intent to influence him. Both boys were measuring each other, then they smiled and simultaneously retrieved their killing intent. Now clash seemed to be equal. Earlier Tang San seemed to be loosing as he was only managing keeps his brother's intent at bay.

Bystander except Tang Hao seemed to be shocked to the core. Especially grandmaster he didn't expect that another monster rivaling tang San exist and was his twin brother. He never knew that his student has killing intent, he was shocked at how both boys seemed used and retrieve killing intent effortlessly. It was hard for even some spirit sages to do that. Looking both boys he seemed to understand how much he didn't know about his own disciple much less about his brother. Tang San told him about his brother but just that he exists nothing more. He even never told him about his intent and fighting style as all the time they spend together was only cultivation and control. Where he imparted his research to tang San. He was joyous to gain Tang San as his disciple because he was extremely talented & gifted and unknowingly proven his one of ten theories.

He looked towards both boys again now they seem to have the same aura as Tang Hao and Tang Xiao once but role reversed. He once saw both brother(Howling and clear sky douluo when they were only spirit douluos)fighting, It was not a secret that clear sky duo were his idols especially Tang Hao. That's why he came with Tang San to meet his idol as deduced his identity via Tang San hammer spirit, he was also a part of the upper three sects. He was a man of pride who even dared to oppose pontiff's invitation much less a student. He clearly saw a shadow of Tang Hao in Tang Chen because of his dominating presence, and he similarly saw Tang Xiao in Tang San. He looked towards Tang Hao whose c.h.e.s.t was puffed because of pride and eyes were tearful. It wasn't hard for him to guess Tang Hao's feelings.

Grandmaster wasn't off the mark, Tang Hao was seemed to be in nostalgia and was proud of his sons. Even the blue silver king seemed like it suddenly becomes quiet. Xiao Wu was also shocked not because of Tang San, he has shown her his strength to her but because of Tang Chen, this welcoming host has that much domineering presence.

They stopped their intent and retrieve it and seriously looking at each other and were standing still.

Xiao Wu was confused and asked: "why did they stop?"

Tang Hao said: "they were gauging each other." grandmaster nodded. Tang Hao then chuckled and said: "It seems San has improved slightly." Others didn't comment on it as though they were impressed beyond words, it was only child's play to clear sky douluo.

Both boys launch towards each other with hand-to-hand combat intention. They both have mystic jade hands revealed and were engaging high-speed combat. Both boys showed their skills Tang Chen was focused on hard way of fighting and was going with strong punch and kicks while Tang San was focused on soft skills like parring the attack and going for soft tissue and muscle of Tang Chen. Both were at a stalemate as Tang San have previous life's experience and Tang Chen gained experience by fighting his father. The clashing of jade sound appears every time they clashed. Both were continuously using lightness steps and perplexing shadow techniques and showed proficiency in their techniques.

They both suddenly created distance between them and summoned their blue silver spirit. Simultaneously their rings shined bright in Tang Chen's hand was a staff and Tang San was surrounded with grass. They looked at each other, then Tang Chen leaps forward while Tang San sends grass surrounding him towards his brother. Tang San used his grass as rope and whip. Tang Chen Skillfully parried each grass knowing about poison in them. They both showed their control over their spirit and skill. Tang San suddenly increased the amount of grass Tang Chen seeing this quickly struck his staff on ground and will it to expand on his holding side, he took a leap from ground and with the help of grass and did backward Summersalte in midair by getting the momentum by hitting his feed to the staff to create more space between them with staff in his hand but it regained its original size. He suddenly willed his staff to reduce further in height. Suddenly it transformed and turned into Japanese katana of blue color with one sharp edge all the patterns were now on thicker and nonedge half making it blue golden marking as the design on it and it has the sharp edge of pure blue color with a golden hilt and Blue handle. Tang Chen leaps forward and start cutting Tang San's grass. Tang San manages to fight as he was controlling master and was natural nemesis of attack type masters, both were on equal footing. They fought for a few more minutes. Both their faces were pale as they consumed their soul power it only at Rank 20.

Tang Hao suddenly told them to stop and they stopped. They sat crosslegged to recover their soul power. Grandmaster was surprised, he never thought he would witness such battle among spirit Scholars. Tang sans hand-to-hand combat or skillful manipulation of blue silver spirit was on its own level. But he was more shocked by Tang Chen's display. He never imagined that someone can use blue silver spirit offensively in such a way, and was awed whether his manipulation it to staff and it's expansion and reduction or sudden transformation into an elegant looking sword. He was beyond impressed by both boys.

But he wasn't the only one Xiao Wu was also awed and Tang Hao was brimming with pride. He knew his son hasn't taken out big guns yet. Both boys opened their eyes at the same time and smiled at each other. They knew neither of them didn't go all out as it can be dangerous. Even if it isn't released being a practitioner of intent Tang San can feel intent from both staff and sword similarly Tang can also feel the intent in Tang San's whip. They didn't even bring out their hammer spirit both have progressed far in it. Tang Chen can hit all 81 strikes normally and 36 strikes of his Sovereign hammer descend. Similarly, Tang San also progress to all 81 strikes but Only 18 strikes of Flowing hammer, he lacked his father's guidance. Both have progressed far.

They both stood up and went to the spectator's side. Tang Hao told them to rest and go hunting in the afternoon after lunch.
