Seven Kill vs. Clear Sky, a Closed Loop of Thought

Xiao Wu's thoughts at this moment seemed to have formed a closed loop.

Scenes from the past surfaced in my mind, converging into a complete chain of analysis that circulated continuously before finally settling on two questions.

Was Tang San truly sincere, or did he have ulterior motives?

Sincerely speaking, why does Tang San only mention that his father was a blacksmith, but never mention that his father was Titled Douluo?

Why would someone as the son of Titled Douluo choose to work as a part-time student at a small Nuoding Academy?

Titled Douluo are the strongest individuals on the continent.

As the son of a Titled Douluo, Tang San, even if he were at his worst, wouldn't be working as a part-time student at a remote Soul Master Academy, especially one who has to go out and forge iron in his spare time to earn money.

In other words, if Tang Hao were to simply announce it, even if he didn't get Tang San into any particular Soul Master Academy, at least most of them would give him face and allow him to enroll.

So why did Tang San choose to interact with himself as a work-study student?

All the things she couldn't understand converged in Xiao Wu's mind, turning into sharp thorns that completely blocked the option of treating others sincerely. The analytical chain that had previously gathered in her mind naturally flowed into a choice with ulterior motives.

Combining Bai Wanwan's previous reasonable analysis with Xiao Wu's observations of the inconsistencies and some natural assumptions, the warmth and happiness of the past were instantly shattered, turning into a fact that was unwilling to be believed but had to be accepted.

Under these circumstances, the more Xiao Wu thought about it, the deeper her suspicions about Tang San's ulterior motives became.

Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San in front of her, then pursed her lips tightly and silently retreated, maintaining what she considered a safe distance from everyone.

"Xiao Wu..."

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and took two steps toward Xiao Wu, but before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted him.

"Stand there and don't move or speak."

I want to be alone!

Xiao Wu took two more steps back.

Upon hearing this, Tang San stopped approaching Xiao Wu and instead turned his gaze to Bai Wanwan on the eaves.

Coincidentally, Tang Hao also turned his gaze to Bai Wanwan.

Both men had very gloomy eyes, and to be precise, they were also mixed with anger.

Are you angry?

"Oh dear~ Did I guess right? Are you all angry because you're embarrassed?"

"I'm truly sorry, Your Haotian Mianxia. I hope you won't take offense, and please don't try to silence me later."

"Rongrong, how about I hide out at your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a few days? I'm a little scared."

Bai Wanwan's lips curled into a slight smile, her long, straight legs swaying gently in the air. She said she was afraid, but there was a hint of provocation in her eyes as she looked at Tang Hao.

As for Tang San, he was completely ignored.

In other words, Tang San is not even worthy of her respect right now.

Seeing Bai Wanwan's expression, Tang Hao's heart sank slightly.

Judging from Bai Wanwan's confident demeanor, he could basically conclude that Bai Wanwan definitely did not come alone.

There must be someone secretly protecting Bai Wanwan's safety.

Tang San's hand reached for the Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlight Night his waist, and a few streaks of cold light appeared in his palm before disappearing.

After all, if Bai Wanwan hadn't made wild guesses, Xiao Wu wouldn't have had this misunderstanding.

Tang San only just learned that his father was Titled Douluo.

But he was certain that his father never harbored such thoughts, and that he genuinely cared for Xiao Wu.

The atmosphere in the room was silent.

Flender led Yu Xiaogang to retreat a short distance to the side, and Zhao Wuji also led the Shrek Academy students to a safe distance, creating a vacuum zone around Chen Xin and Tang Hao.

Tang San stood behind Tang Hao, his gaze silently locking onto Bai Wanwan on the eaves.

Xiao Wu retreated while observing everyone's condition and expressions.

At that moment, Tang Hao moved first, reaching out to grab Xiao Wu who was retreating, preparing to take her away and send her back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, Xiao Wu is the focus of everyone's attention right now.

While the situation on the surface appears to be a stalemate between Tang Hao and Chen Xin, there is actually a variable involved: Bai Wanwan.

Chen Xin still has Ning Rongrong, who is unable to protect herself, to restrain him, but Bai Wanwan has no restraints at all. Moreover, you can't be sure when the person secretly protecting Bai Wanwan will make a move.

Therefore, after considering all factors, Tang Hao felt that taking Xiao Wu away and sending her back to the Star Dou Great Forest was the best option.

Firstly, as Soul Beast Transformation, Xiao Wu is clearly safer in the Star Dou Great Forest than here. Secondly, everyone's attention is on Xiao Wu, and taking Xiao Wu away from here would make Xiao Wu a priority target for both those hiding in the shadows and Chen Xin. In this way, Tang San, with Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang looking after him at the Shrek Academy, is also highly likely to be safe.

Therefore, as long as Xiao Wu is sent back to the Star Dou Great Forest, the situation can be greatly improved, and he can then find an opportunity to leave and extricate himself from this incident.

The moment Tang Hao moved, Chen Xin also moved.

The sword shadow fell from mid-air, its sharpness fully revealed, slashing towards Tang Hao.

He raised the Clear Sky Hammer to block the incoming sword shadows.

A screeching sound of friction filled the arena. Tang Hao used the force of the Seven Kill Sword's downward strike to quickly pull back, arriving beside Xiao Wu. He reached out, grabbed Xiao Wu's collar, and lifted Xiao Wu up.

"It's over."

Xiao Wu, who had been captured by Tang Hao, felt a sense of despair.

Having been captured by Titled Douluo, she could already foresee her future fate.

Tang Hao had no time to care about the little Rabbit's emotions. He got up and was about to leave when a flash of cold light appeared before his eyes, and the Seven Kill Sword swept towards him.

Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer, colliding with the Seven Kill Sword. The powerful attack forced Tang Hao to retreat rapidly, while the Seven Kill Sword changed its sweeping motion to a downward slash. Longswords formed from Soul Power appeared in mid-air, accompanying the Seven Kill Sword's downward slash as they pierced towards Tang Hao's position.

Ding ding ding~

The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand suddenly grew larger, blocking the attack from the Seven Kill Sword, and then smashed fiercely towards Chen Xin.

With a loud bang.

Tang Hao and Chen Xin retreated simultaneously, watching each other warily.

Chen Xin looked at Tang Hao in front of her, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

From their brief exchange, Chen Xin sensed that Tang Hao seemed to have weakened. To be precise, it wasn't that Tang Hao had weakened, but rather that he couldn't unleash his full strength.

Tang Hao glanced thoughtfully at Bai Wanwan and Ning Rongrong without making a sound.
