Exposing Xiao Wu's Identity, Making Tang Hao Take the Blame

"We were in the wrong about this, but Wang Sheng was so arrogant last time. What do you want us to do? Name your terms."

Xiao Chenyu cursed Lin Hao's good luck inwardly. He had only arrived after Bu Xing and the other five had left!

"Everyone who took part in beating up Wang Sheng, go bow and apologize to him tomorrow, and compensate him with one Gold Soul Coin. He can't even get out of bed now, and he won't be able to work for at least a week. You were too ruthless!"

Lin Hao knew Wang Sheng's personality, so he chose the solution Wang Sheng would like best!

"Impossible! You want us to apologize to that poor bastard, and actually bow to him? No way! And one Gold Soul Coin? Are you robbing us?"

Before Xiao Chenyu could speak, Liu Long and the other lackeys loudly refused.

They had a little money, but one Gold Soul Coin was practically asking for their lives!

"Then watch yourselves. Don't get caught alone, or we'll take revenge on every one of you!"

Lin Hao bared his teeth in a smile and spoke calmly.

Xiao Chenyu waved for Liu Long and the others to shut up, then gritted his teeth and stepped forward to look at Lin Hao. "This was my idea. The two of us will fight. If you win, I'll have them apologize to Wang Sheng and compensate him with two Silver Soul Coins, but they won't bow. If you don't agree, then we'll fight to the bitter end. I refuse to believe you'll be together all the time!"

"Fine!"

Lin Hao considered it for a moment and nodded. There were still some things about Xiao Chenyu that he approved of.

For example, whether he won or lost a fight, no matter how badly he got beaten, he never called his parents!

"Good. Then let's begin. I heard your First Soul Ring is a hundred-year Martial Soul. Let me see what you're capable of!"

Xiao Chenyu immediately used Martial Soul Possession. Some wolf-like traits appeared on his body, though they were not very obvious!

"Come on. Since you're being so sensible, I'll give you one hand!"

Lin Hao crooked a finger at Xiao Chenyu and said with a smile.

"You're way too arrogant!"

Xiao Chenyu was thoroughly enraged. He swung his wolf fist and punched at Lin Hao. He did have some skill!

But Lin Hao was no longer the same as before. His body, tempered by the Soul Bone and Soul Ring, had grown much stronger.

He instantly released his Martial Soul, flashed forward, grabbed Xiao Chenyu's wrist, and violently swung him down into the ground.

Lin Hao was about to continue attacking when Xiao Chenyu hurriedly shouted, "Stop! I surrender, I surrender!"

That clash made Xiao Chenyu realize that he was no match for Lin Hao, so he sensibly admitted defeat.

After all, losing to Lin Hao at Notting College was nothing shameful!

"Boss, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Hao stop, Liu Long and the others hurriedly helped Xiao Chenyu up, then glared fiercely at Lin Hao.

Xiao Chenyu rubbed his wrist and said, "Lin Hao, we'll take this loss. Tomorrow, we'll go to Dorm Seven to apologize. Here are two Silver Soul Coins. Take them back to Wang Sheng."

"Just don't forget!"

After Lin Hao accepted the Silver Soul Coins, Xiao Chenyu and his group hurriedly retreated, while Lin Hao and the others soon left as well.

When they reached the area near Dorm Seven, Lin Hao and Xiao Wu did not head back directly. Instead, they went together to the place where they had watched the stars before.

"Lin Hao, why did you call me here?"

Xiao Wu asked somewhat confusedly.

"There is something. I hope you can stay calm in a moment!"

Lin Hao gave Xiao Wu a warning in advance.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Xiao Wu clearly had not realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Xiao Wu, you should have heard about the battle between powerful experts near Soul Hunting Forest, right?"

"Yeah. You and Bu Xing's group came back because of that, didn't you? Why bring it up all of a sudden?"

"Then do you know why those two powerful experts fought? They were fighting over something!"

Lin Hao stared straight at Xiao Wu, his meaning obvious!

"Fighting over what? Don't look at me like that!"

Xiao Wu froze. A terrifying thought suddenly arose in her heart, but she refused to believe it!

"Xiao Wu, your identity as a transformed Soul Beast has been exposed. They were fighting over you!"

Lin Hao laid it out plainly. Xiao Wu was, after all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and it would be difficult for her to easily believe him.

So he directly revealed the truth, using other factors to force Xiao Wu into being unable to leave him!

"What transformed Soul Beast? What are you talking about, Lin Hao?"

Xiao Wu had heard from her elders what would happen if her identity was exposed, so she still clung to a sliver of hope!

"You should know that Titled Douluo can sense the aura of transformed Soul Beasts. So after transforming, you came to the relatively remote city of Notting City to learn human knowledge! But your luck wasn't very good. Notting City has me, an outcast from a great family, with a Titled Douluo guard constantly by my side. So the moment you appeared, I knew your identity! If that were all, it would have been fine, because my talent wasn't enough to support absorbing a 100,000 Year Soul Ring. So you could have peacefully studied at Notting College and recovered your strength! But even worse, another Titled Douluo is living in seclusion here, and he has a son. His son enrolled with you not long ago. When he came to send his son off to school, he discovered your identity. The battle in Soul Hunting Forest happened because he wanted to capture you, which led to a conflict with my guard!"

Lin Hao looked at the stars in the sky and calmly spun his lies.

"I know you don't dare believe it, but that is the truth. I said all this mainly to remind you to prepare early! Although that Titled Douluo was driven away by my guard, he will return sooner or later. After all, his son is here!"

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu had some mental fortitude. After remaining silent for a long while, she suddenly asked, "That Titled Douluo is Tang San's father, isn't he?"

"That's right. It seems you had your suspicions too. After all, it's already difficult enough for Blue Silver Grass to possess Soul Power, let alone Innate Full Soul Power. And Tang San's combat experience is clearly not something an ordinary person would have! His father tried to make a move against you then, but my guard appeared and led him away. They fought in Soul Hunting Forest!"

Lin Hao nodded, deliberately putting on a melancholy expression as he said, "That battle also exposed my guard, and my peaceful life has vanished because of it. I plan to go to Heaven Dou City soon. I've already applied to graduate from the college, and the process is underway. Once I leave, if Tang San's father returns, you'll undoubtedly die, so you should go back to the forest. He has seen your appearance many times. Once he uses his connections to search for you, it will be difficult for you to hide!"

"You don't want to kill me and obtain my Soul Ring and Soul Bone?"

Xiao Wu was silent again for a long time. She stared straight at Lin Hao before suddenly asking.

"To be honest, I did at first. But later, I realized there was no one suitable around me. I don't lack money or resources. What I lack is talent, but killing you wouldn't improve my talent. Besides, my enemies are very powerful. Since you're a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I figured you must know quite a few powerful Soul Beasts. Perhaps we can cooperate someday!"

Lin Hao wrapped himself in the persona of a sincere person, seeking Xiao Wu's approval!
