Tang Hao's Intentions, the Eight Spider Lances Obtained

"Hmph!"

Tang Hao's fury surged when Tang San called him by name directly, especially after he had already suffered such a humiliating loss.

With a cold snort, Tang San was directly knocked unconscious.

Crack!

The next moment, a sound like shattering bones rang out. A shrunken Soul Bone with eight spider legs—the Eight Spider Lances—was forcibly stripped from him!

Tang San's aura immediately plummeted.

The Soul Power throughout his body leaked out frantically, like air escaping from a punctured balloon.

Fortunately, Tang Hao was powerful enough to forcibly suppress it at once.

Even so, Tang San's Soul Power fell directly below level 30. There was no need to even think about it—his foundation had suffered tremendous damage!

"Hmph!"

Tang Hao snorted again, and his aura stirred slightly.

Whoosh!

The Eight Spider Lances, wrapped in Tang Hao's power, tore through the air and shot straight toward Li Yu.

Qian Renxue and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Having lost face, Tang Hao was clearly unwilling to let it go. He wanted to use the chance to "hand over the bone" to teach Li Yu a lesson.

But how could Dugu Bo allow such a thing to happen?

His power descended in the next instant, steadily dispersing the force Tang Hao had placed on the Eight Spider Lances before "placing" it in front of Li Yu.

"Many thanks to Clear Sky Crown for this treasure!"

Dugu Bo was in an excellent mood and actually addressed him as Clear Sky Crown.

But Tang Hao's mood only worsened.

"I, Tang Hao, will remember what happened today!"

Tang Hao spoke coldly. Then, perhaps feeling that those words made him lose too much face, he added, "But this is ultimately a wager between juniors. The matter will naturally be resolved by the juniors themselves!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Li Yu once more. "I hope that the next time you meet Tang San, you can still be his opponent."

"Heh heh."

Li Yu took the Eight Spider Lances in hand and smiled. "With this External Soul Bone to aid him, I suppose that won't be a problem!"

After a pause, her gaze settled on Tang Hao's phantom, fighting intent filling her eyes. "And I also look forward to meeting Your Majesty again!"

Everyone was speechless.

They did not know whether Li Yu's first sentence had been deliberately meant to provoke Tang Hao.

But her second sentence was a blatant declaration of war against Tang Hao!

What confidence did Li Yu have to dare challenge Tang Hao, already a Titled Douluo, at this very moment?

What confidence! What courage!

They were all utterly shocked.

"Good, good, good! This old man will certainly bear witness when the time comes!"

Dugu Bo burst into laughter. Seeing Tang Hao, who had arrived in such an imposing manner, repeatedly fall into a disadvantage during their verbal exchanges naturally delighted him.

"Hmph, an arrogant junior!"

Tang Hao gave a cold snort. His aura seemed to pause slightly before he left with Tang San.

At the same time, the Token in Yu Xiaogang's hand was taken away as well.

Clearly, Tang Hao had no intention of letting Tang San return to Shrek.

In Tang Hao's view, the Shrek teachers bore half the responsibility for what had happened today.

But stabilizing Tang San's injuries was the most important matter now. Everything else could be set aside for the time being.

Later, he would naturally settle the score!

Tang Hao also had doubts in his heart.

When he arrived, he had immediately observed two people.

The first was naturally Tang San. There was nothing more to say about that.

The other was Xiao Wu!

He had seen Xiao Wu before and had long known that she was a Soul Beast.

However, after all his planning, he had not exposed her. He had even secretly used his methods to conceal Xiao Wu's aura.

But—

With a single glance, he discovered that Xiao Wu's Soul Beast aura had completely vanished. She was already no different from an ordinary human!

He could not understand it.

When he first learned of today's situation, his initial thought had truly been to use the opportunity to have Tang San strip away the bone. Once Tang San fell into danger, Xiao Wu would willingly sacrifice herself!

That way, not only would Tang San's crisis be resolved, but his Soul Power might even surge directly to level 40, or perhaps close to level 50!

Moreover, at Tang San's current age, with such a Soul Power Level and a Soul Ring configuration of two yellow, one purple, and one red, his talent would surely rise by more than a single level!

But the Soul Beast aura on Xiao Wu had disappeared!

He did not understand why. With Sword Douluo present and Poison Douluo drawing near afterward, it was not convenient for him to investigate.

Nor was it appropriate for him to expose Xiao Wu's opportunity. That was why he had ended up losing face just now.

And that was also why he had not taken Xiao Wu with him when he left!

Titled Douluos had all undergone countless trials. Their schemes and knowledge were also among the very best.

If he had insisted on taking Xiao Wu away, no matter what reason he gave, he would likely have aroused Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo's suspicions.

At that point, Xiao Wu's opportunity would very likely be exposed!

Therefore, he had cautiously taken only Tang San away.

Of course, Tang Hao had calculated this as well.

Even he, a Titled Douluo, could no longer see anything unusual about Xiao Wu's true form. Others would certainly be unable to see through her either.

Combined with Xiao Wu's current Soul Power Level, he could simply wait for a suitable opportunity to reap this benefit.

That was why he left swiftly, without the slightest hesitation.

Meanwhile, inside the Soul Arena—

When everyone saw Tang Hao leave with Tang San and truly hand the External Soul Bone over to Li Yu, their hearts shook as they stared greedily at the Eight Spider Lances in Li Yu's hands.

If so many top Soul Masters had not been present, they likely would have been unable to resist rushing forward together.

This was a supreme treasure!

Anyone would be tempted by it.

But for Dugu Bo, detoxification was the foremost priority!

Furthermore, given Li Yu's kindness toward both him and Dugu Yan, he could never possibly harbor greed.

Thus, when he sensed the strange atmosphere spreading through the arena, he immediately snorted coldly and said casually, "Miss Li Yu, External Soul Bones are precious and rare. There may be unforeseen complications when absorbing one. It just so happens that many top Soul Masters are present today. Absorb it immediately. With us watching over you, no accident can possibly occur!"

After a pause, Dugu Bo swept a cold gaze around the room and said, "Wouldn't you all agree?"

"Of course."

Sword Douluo was the first to respond.

Naturally, he did not fear Poison Douluo. But he was a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with an enormous sect behind him. He had people to consider, so he naturally had some reservations.

After Sword Douluo stated his position—

Meng Shenji, Ning Fengzhi, Prince Xue Xing, and the others quickly followed suit, saying things such as, "Should anything happen, we are willing to offer our full assistance."

But they all understood Dugu Bo's meaning. Naturally, they were merely offering polite words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yu understood Dugu Bo's intentions and was naturally deeply grateful.

After a brief pause, she did not begin absorbing it immediately. Instead, she said, "Your Majesty has always called me Miss Li Yu, which makes me feel rather awkward!

Yan Yan and I are quite close. If Your Majesty does not mind, you may call me Little Li—cough, Little Yu from now on!"

"Haha, this old man has been too formal!"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily, his mood instantly becoming even better.

If he could gain a granddaughter as exceptionally talented as Li Yu, how could he possibly be unwilling?

Of course, he could not be certain whether that was what Li Yu meant, so he probed, "Then this old man shall call you Little Yu from now on!"

"Yay!"

Dugu Yan's eyes brightened, and she nearly jumped up on the spot.

Li Yu smiled and continued, "Also, everyone seems quite interested in this young woman's Soul Rings!

It just so happens that my Husband and Poison Douluo Your Majesty are both here. If you are curious, feel free to ask whatever you wish!"

After saying that, Li Yu sat cross-legged, poured her Soul Power into the Eight Spider Lances, and began absorbing it!

The others wore strange expressions, their eyes blazing.

This... was that really allowed?

The Shrek group, especially Yu Xiaogang, had faces as dark as water.

Damn it, it seemed they had been played!
