If the target is Ah Yin, I can be a Cao Thief

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, Host, for triggering a Hidden Quest.

Hidden Quest:

Among Weapon Spirits, I am invincible—what is a mere Clear Sky?

Quest Details:

Confront Tang Hao head-on, cause his emotions to fluctuate multiple times, and withstand one of his attacks without dying.

Quest Reward: Ten Consecutive Draws

(In these Ten Consecutive Draws, the probability of drawing a Purple Card will increase. If you can gain the recognition of Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the probability of drawing a Gold Card will increase.)"

"Oh?"

After seeing the contents and rewards of this Hidden Quest, Xiao Chen immediately became interested.

Confront Tang Hao head-on and survive one of Tang Hao's attacks.

That was not particularly difficult.

At worst, he could directly unleash the attack contained within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Token, whose power rivaled the self-destruction of a level 95 Titled Douluo. Then, he could use the phasing effect inherent to God Slaying Release, the Third Soul Skill of his God-Slaying Sword, to become immune to damage for nine seconds.

As for gaining the recognition of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and thereby increasing his chances of drawing a Gold Card this time?

With his God-Slaying Sword Martial Soul and the various sword techniques he had drawn over the years, gaining Sword Douluo Chen Xin's recognition would not be difficult.

He was determined to get this bonus.

And why had Sword Douluo Chen Xin also appeared tonight?

Obviously, because he had gotten to Ning Rongrong first, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been secretly protecting Ning Rongrong, had come over at this time.

Still, he was rather curious.

If Tang Hao, who had been out of practice for quite some time, ran into Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who would be stronger?

That really was something worth looking forward to.

After thinking that, Xiao Chen played with Xiao Wu's long legs for a while before holding her and falling asleep.

Ning Rongrong gradually drifted off as well. Only Zhu Zhuqing remained sitting cross-legged and cultivating.

About the time it took for one sandglass to pass later, Zhu Zhuqing finally fell asleep too, though she merely leaned casually against the wall.

Over the years, Zhu Zhuqing had wandered outside alone and slept in trees, on rocks, and in all sorts of places.

Now that she had a fixed place to rest, naturally, she fell asleep easily.

Whoosh!

After sensing the condition of the three girls, Xiao Chen carefully slipped out of the covers and headed toward the back mountain.

In a forest on the back mountain.

"Cough, cough, cough. Thank you for Your Excellency Clear Sky's guidance."

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Clear Sky. We will definitely accomplish what you instructed us to do."

Zhao Wuji, who had just been beaten up by Tang Hao, and Flender, the headmaster of Shrek Academy, both lowered their heads respectfully and gave their assurances.

After witnessing the terrifying strength of a Titled Douluo, they could no longer muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

If he truly fought without holding back, the other party would probably only need one strike to kill both of them instantly!

Seeing this, Tang Hao nodded slightly, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

Everything had developed just as he had expected, extremely smoothly.

Not bad.

He had come here this time for two purposes.

First, to have Zhao Wuji and Flender properly nurture Tang San in the future. As for how far Tang San could go, he had not made too many demands.

After all, his father was invincible.

Second, to find an opportunity to send Xiao Chen out on a mission. When the time came, he would personally make a move and teach that brat a proper lesson.

He had disliked that little brat Xiao Chen for many years already. If he did not beat him up, he would not be satisfied!

Of course, he definitely would not beat Xiao Chen to death.

Based on his observations over the years, Tang San would need at least another dozen or so years before he could defeat Xiao Chen.

Therefore, before Tang San surpassed Xiao Chen, he would not interfere with Xiao Chen.

But once Tang San surpassed Xiao Chen, if Xiao Chen still refused to listen to Tang San, he would strike like thunder and erase Xiao Chen completely!

"Hmm?"

Tang Hao, who had just been preparing to leave, suddenly spoke the next moment.

"Little brat, since you're already here, why keep hiding?"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Tang Hao's words, Flender and Zhao Wuji seemed to realize something. They turned at the same time to look in the direction he was staring.

Holy shit.

That little monster Xiao Chen had really come over!

Immediately afterward, Xiao Chen walked out in full view of everyone, his expression calm as he looked at Tang Hao.

"Hide? Why should I hide? You're the ones hiding here and stirring up trouble."

"Why are you making such a huge commotion here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Aren't you tired?"

"...Hmph, sharp-tongued!"

Hearing that, Tang Hao's gaze instantly turned cold. Then, he suddenly released the Soul Power within his body.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure bore down upon Xiao Chen.

That pressure carried the Soul Power of a Seven-ring Soul Saint and the imposing aura of a Titled Douluo!

Based on what Tang Hao had witnessed today, releasing such pressure now should have been enough to crush Xiao Chen and force him to kneel on the spot.

His son might be disappointing, but that did not mean just anyone could lay a hand on him.

Even beating a dog required considering its owner!

But Tang Hao's expression soon froze, his eyes filled with gloom and disbelief.

Xiao Chen, standing before him, had actually withstood his pressure head-on!

Something was wrong.

Xiao Chen had not endured it solely through his own strength. Rather, the sword floating beside him had weakened Tang Hao's pressure!

The quality of that sword-type Martial Soul was probably no inferior to his Clear Sky Hammer.

Even after all these years, this Xiao Chen was still just as irritating...

Thinking of this, Tang Hao gave a slight nod in order to maintain the dignity of a Titled Douluo.

"Why didn't you hide?"

"Because I'm not afraid."

Xiao Chen spoke coldly.

Tang Hao: ...

Flender: ...

Zhao Wuji: ...

This kid was truly bold!

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Not being afraid means not being afraid."

Xiao Chen answered again, his expression as calm as ever.

"Arrogant!"

Tang Hao could no longer remain composed. He raised his hand, preparing to unleash a soul skill and suppress Xiao Chen.

However, Xiao Chen had long since guessed what Tang Hao was thinking.

The next moment, he tossed out a token.

At the same time, a terrifying surge of Soul Power appeared, along with magnificent Dragon Might that wildly spilled out from it.

In an instant, blue lightning ran rampant, shielding Xiao Chen within it.

"Arrogant? That's what it's called when someone has no strength. What I have is confidence!"

"You want to attack me? Heh heh, Tang Hao, you wouldn't want your son Tang San to be assassinated, or your wife's hiding place to be discovered, would you?"

Come to think of it, that Ah Yin should count as one of the key women in this world.

Ah Yin, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor—her voluptuous, mature figure had a unique charm, and she could even improve his physical constitution...

Actually, playing Cao Cao once in a while wouldn't be so bad!
