Chapter 49 As expected...
Yu Xiaogang gazed at the deep night outside the window and remained silent for a moment.
Forget it, with the reputation and strength of the number one weapon spirit on the continent, he naturally doesn't need to worry about anything.
But there are still a few things he doesn't understand.
Why would Haotian Douluo deliberately draw the hatred of the mistress onto himself?
He slowly sat back down at his desk.
And was Xiao Wu really killed? And why?
But suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Could it be... to protect the mistress?
Since the Spirit Hall has sent people to investigate, they will definitely observe Xiao San's reaction carefully. If Xiao San shows any hatred towards the Spirit Hall, no matter how subtle it is, it will be difficult for him to escape suspicion.
But if the mistress's hatred has another clear target, then it's a completely different story.
What father would intentionally let his son hate him?
"I see……"
Yu Xiaogang lightly pounded his palm, suddenly enlightened.
It's a pity about Xiao Wu, she was such a promising talent... but perhaps she isn't really dead.
Otherwise, how will he explain it to the mistress in the future?
Thinking of this, his tense mood finally eased a bit.
Now, as long as the arrangements are made, the clues and evidence point to the boy named Xiao Yan, and there is at least a 90% chance that the Spirit Hall's suspicions will be diverted away from Xiao San.
"As expected of Haotian Douluo, he is more cautious than I imagined."
……
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Notting Academy cafeteria, Tang San sat alone in a corner, carrying a plate of food. He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, and even Wang Sheng and the others who used to live in Dormitory 7 didn't dare to approach him.
They were all too aware of Tang San's transformation over the past week.
He went from being a gentle and humble companion to a taciturn, madman who desperately cultivated himself.
When they occasionally made eye contact, the chill in their eyes even gave them nightmares at night.
Nowadays, no one dares to go looking for trouble.
"What a pity for Sister Xiaowu..."
One of the part-time students muttered under his breath.
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly covered his mouth! Almost simultaneously, a chill ran down the spines of the group.
Wang Sheng stiffly turned his head to meet Tang San's gaze, quickly forcing a fawning smile and nodding repeatedly before the cold gaze slowly shifted away.
"Are you looking for death?!" Wang Sheng lowered his voice and cursed at the freshman, "Bringing this in front of Third Brother!"
The work-study student was also quite frightened. He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry..." This apology was not only directed at Wang Sheng, but also subtly conveyed to Tang San.
Tang San's grip on the chopsticks tightened suddenly, and the wooden chopsticks snapped in two.
The hatred in his eyes was forcibly suppressed again.
He already knows who the murderer is from the teacher!
The wanted criminal by the Spirit Hall is also the father of that guy who has the same twin spirits as him. No wonder he's his rival!
but
"I will absolutely... make you experience the pain of losing a loved one!"
"Just you wait!"
Tang San's icy aura spread even further.
The surrounding students couldn't help but move further away.
In the shadows, several pairs of eyes silently swept across the cafeteria, taking in everything.
……
Not long after, the Notting City Martial Spirit Hall branch.
Council chamber.
"Has the matter been clarified?"
The two men, one fat and one tall, sitting at the head of the table, spoke softly.
The two were dressed in the robes of Spirit Hall elders, their auras profound and powerful; they were none other than the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo.
We are closest in distance, and share the same lineage.
Undoubtedly, these two are the most suitable candidates.
Below, a cardinal in a robe respectfully bows with his hands clasped.
"Reporting back to the two elders, after extensive investigation, it has been confirmed that the one who appeared near Holy Soul Village that day and caused large-scale battle traces was none other than Tang Hao. The remaining bombardment and terrain damage at the scene are consistent with the characteristics of the Clear Sky Hammer."
He paused briefly before continuing his report:
"As for the rumors of the 100,000-year-old soul beast, many villagers from Holy Soul Village and passing soul masters did witness the strange phenomenon that day, and their descriptions matched those given by the two elders..."
Slightly chubby, the Porcupine Douluo narrowed his eyes:
"So it really is a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
"Yes," the cardinal said, bowing his head.
"Furthermore, according to subsequent intelligence, after that 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed, it enrolled in Notting Academy. Its martial soul was the Soft Bone Rabbit, and its age and appearance matched perfectly. The investigation also revealed that its origins were unknown..."
Based on known intelligence, it is highly likely that it is a remnant of the 100,000-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit that His Holiness the Pope failed to completely eradicate back then.
"Soft Bone Rabbit?" Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged a glance, understanding. They also knew about this matter; the Pope and Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had both been mobilized, so it was difficult not to know.
Originally, his only purpose this time was to harass Tang Hao.
Unexpectedly, there was more information than expected.
Of course, there were also reports that were deliberately submitted by someone; otherwise, it would have taken them some time to investigate thoroughly.
One can only say that he truly deserves the title of "master" acknowledged by that woman.
He's quite capable.
Of course, he must have regretted it too, being unable to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul bone that could change his destiny right under his nose.
"After hiding for so many years, Tang Hao is still so lucky."
Serpent Spear Douluo said coldly, "Back then, I encountered a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor and obtained my ninth spirit ring. Now, while I'm in hiding, I've run into another 100,000-year-old spirit beast."
"The reason for the exposure is most likely the commotion caused while hunting this soul beast," the Porcupine Douluo interjected.
"After all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast has lived for so long, it might have other abilities. In its desperate counterattack, it forced Tang Hao to use his full strength and reveal his true colors."
Their eyes met, and they understood each other without saying a word. This meant that Tang Hao had at least two 100,000-year-old soul bones.
And that real remnant, the offspring of Tang Hao and that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, whose intelligence clearly stated that he had died along with his mother, but unexpectedly... he is still alive.
Although his innate full soul power is not as great as the young lady's, after absorbing two 100,000-year-old soul bones...
"Now that the portrait has been confirmed, let's issue an arrest warrant."
The Porcupine Douluo concluded that the child had only been awakened for a little over a year, and once the wanted notice was issued, no matter where Tang Hao fled, the Spirit Hall would be the first to know.
This was the same method used when they were hunting down Tang Hao.
This is just another repeat of the same thing.
Unless they continue to live a secluded life in some remote place.
"Going to Holy Soul Village?"
"Go! See if that seriously injured body has fully recovered after all these years. Otherwise, we can fulfill Miss's request on our own, and we won't need any other servants to interfere."
……
"Huh? Where did they go!"
Outside Holy Soul Village, in a vast, open, and chaotic dense forest.
As soon as Xiao Yan had transmigrated, he immediately assumed a fighting stance, about to unleash his "defensive magic weapon" to block the incoming attack.
But after waiting for a long time and becoming more wary, all he received in response was a gentle breeze.
He frowned slightly.
"No, are we just giving up already?"
The Invincible Golden Body isn't something only he can use.
The two of them worked together, taking turns to unleash the technique, which theoretically doubled the duration of the invincible golden body. He had intended to test it out, but the "sparring partner" he had envisioned was nowhere to be found...
