Haotian appeared, a crisis of trust

"Haotian?"

Chen Xin stretched out a hand, grasped the air, and the Seven Kill Sword fell into his hand. Endless sharpness burst forth from his body, just like a sword drawn from its sheath.

Even if Clear Sky Douluo were to appear here, this matter would never be left unresolved.

"Furthermore, I would like to invite this Young Lady to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School."

The Seven Kill Sword was slowly raised, its tip pointing at Xiao Wu, who was hiding behind Tang San.

"Your Mianxia Chen Xin, what do you mean by this?"

Flender stepped to the side, blocking Tang San and Xiao Wu's path.

"Literal meaning."

Chen Xin didn't offer much explanation; two invisible Sword Qi erupted forth.

The first Sword Qi strike aimed at Dai Mubai.

The second Sword Qi shot towards Xiao Wu.

The Sword Qi energy was too fast. Before Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others could react, Dai Mubai was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall of a wooden house and falling heavily to the ground.

However, Dai Mubai only felt sore all over and was not seriously injured, which was naturally the result of Chen Xin holding back.

The first Sword Qi struck Dai Mubai only because he had attacked Ning Rongrong before. Therefore, Chen Xin only wanted to teach him a lesson and did not intend to take his life.

When the second Sword Qi shot towards him, Tang San stood firmly in front of Xiao Wu without any hesitation, his eyes slightly closed, leaving no gaps, waiting for the Sword Qi to arrive.

But the expected pain did not come; instead, the sound of metal clashing rang out beside my ears.

Tang San opened his eyes again and saw a huge Clear Sky Hammer appear in front of him, blocking the incoming Sword Qi. The tall figure standing on the Clear Sky Hammer was completely covered by a black robe, but Tang San could sense a familiar feeling from him.

"Tang Hao!"

Chen Xin looked at the person who appeared and softly uttered two words: "It seems that you've had your eye on this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for a long time. Do you have the same idea?"

Chen Xin's voice echoed in the arena.

"Father?"

Tang San called out tentatively.

"Um."

Tang Hao simply hummed in response, saying nothing more, it was unclear whether he was responding to Chen Xin or Tang San.

Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Clear Sky Douluo: Tang Hao, this name is well-known in the Spirit Master World.

Tang San called Tang Hao" father," and Tang Hao agreed. Therefore, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast mentioned by Chen Xin was naturally Xiao Wu.

"Was Tang San's father also a Titled Douluo?"

"But why did he never tell me?"

"His father is Titled Douluo, so his identity should have been exposed long ago. How much of what he said to me back then was true, and how much was false?"

Xiao Wu's gaze swept over Tang San and Tang Hao, and she quietly took a step back.

The room gradually fell silent.

On the eaves of the wooden house, Ning Rongrong looked down at the situation below and poked Bai Wanwan's arm. "What did Sword Grandpa mean when he said, 'You have the same idea'?"

"The literal meaning."

Bai Wanwan gently swung her legs, leisurely cracking sunflower Sunflower Seeds: "A Humanoid Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is a treasure from head to toe. Whether it's 100,000 Year Spirit Ring or Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, those are things that Soul Master dream of."

"Moreover, because she chose to Humanoid form, her strength is weak. As long as we capture her and imprison her, she will come in handy when a member of the family's younger generation is able to absorb 100,000 Year Spirit Ring."

"Of course, this is just the most basic method."

"Look at His Haotian Mianxia, his methods are probably much more sophisticated. Instead of imprisoning it, he had his son take the initiative to approach and cultivate a relationship with it. That way, if this Humanoid form Spirit Beast encounters danger, and his son goes to rescue it, wouldn't it feel like he's risking his life for it?"

Snap

Bai Wanwan snapped her fingers, "Here comes the key point. This is where the feelings they've cultivated before come in handy. If they're both in danger at the same time, and one of them risks their life to save the other, the feelings they've cultivated could very well develop into a deep love for each other. In the end, to break the dangerous situation and to repay the person who risked their life to save it, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might choose to sacrifice itself and become the other's Spirit Ring."

"If that person absorbs the Spirit Ring and then breaks through the encirclement, wouldn't that be perfect?"

"Of course, the possibility that they are truly in love cannot be ruled out."

Bai Wanwan turned her gaze to Xiao Wu, her deep blue eyes giving off a half-smile.

As for why the sentence was added later, "We cannot rule out the possibility that the two are truly in love," it's simply because one's own speculation is far more convincing than what one hears from others.

Bai Wanwan was merely expressing her own speculations; what others thought or believed was none of her Bai Wanwan.

After all, she was saying that His Haotian Mianxia's methods might be much more sophisticated, not that they definitely would be; there's a big difference between the two.

Following Bai Wanwan's instructions, Ning Rongrong briefly went through the process in her mind and immediately gasped in shock.

Bai Wanwan's statement was not only reasonable, but also completely without any problems.

Moreover, this method is clearly superior to imprisoning them and waiting for them to absorb the power they have!

After all, Spirit Ring that are over ten thousand years old will cause Soul Shock, let alone Spirit Ring that are one hundred thousand years old. Spirit Beast can directly avoid the Soul Shock process by actively sacrificing themselves, and can absorb the soul rings regardless of their level.

As for Bai Wanwan's last sentence, "It's possible they truly love each other," Ning Rongrong completely ignored it.

The last statement was so improbable that it could be disregarded, so Ning Rongrong preferred to believe the earlier analysis.

Chen Xin glanced at Tang Hao, then at Xiao Wu behind him, and finally at the direction where Bai Wanwan was.

Well, to be fair, he also felt that Bai Wanwan's earlier analysis suggested a higher probability.

As for true love, Chen Xin chose to ignore it, just like Ning Rongrong. Therefore, Tang Hao's methods were indeed much more sophisticated than he had initially thought.

"Xiao Wu, don't listen to her nonsense, I..."

Tang San turned to look at Xiao Wu, as if he wanted to explain something.

"Yes, I believe you, but don't come any closer."

Xiao Wu took a few steps back, her mind replaying what Bai Wanwan had just said.

But the more Xiao Wu analyzed and thought about it, the more she felt that Bai Wanwan's analysis made perfect sense.

That makes perfect sense!

There's almost no point in refuting it.

If what Bai Wanwan said wasn't true, why didn't Tang San tell her that his father was Titled Douluo?

Why did his father remain silent after discovering his identity Soul Beast Transformation?

No, it's not that there was no action!

Rather, it was his actions and methods that were more sophisticated; otherwise, why would Tang San have so confidently promised to protect him so soon after they met?
