Tang Hao's Worldview Shattered
When Tang Hao proposed to Ah Yin in the Small Woods, Yu Xiaogang had just found them by following Yun Lan's guidance. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but take out his Soul Tool Recorder to save the moment and show it to Tang San later, saying that it would be very interesting to see how his tall and mighty father Tang Hao, proposed.
Ah Yin happened to see Yu Xiaogang holding up an unknown soul tool, pointing it at them. Moreover, the Soul Tool looked like a video camera she had seen in the Dragon Gate Sect's warehouse, Si Si had introduced to her.
Ah Yin blushed instantly and stepped forward to tug at Tang Hao shyly, saying, "Ah Hao, get up quickly! Sect Leader Yu Xiaogang is here! I agree to your relationship! Sect Leader, you're here! What's the matter?"
Tang Hao's usually tough face flushed slightly, and he immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to Yu Xiaogang, saying:
"Sect Master Yu, greetings! I've come as promised to take Ah Yin on her journey across the continent. I've now passed the trials of the Slaughter City and am Soul Douluo now. I'm capable of protecting Ah Yin!"
As Tang Hao spoke to Yu Xiaogang, he looked tenderly at Ah Yin's beautiful figure at the end. Ah Yin smiled happily at Tang Hao's affectionate gaze and reached out her hand to him. Tang Hao felt this and tightly grasped Ah Yin's soft, boneless hand. Yu Xiaogang watched the two of them being so sweet and affectionate.
It seems Tang Hao didn't reveal Ah Yin's true identity, but he exuded a chilling and explosive killing intent, a Si Si of frenzied slaughter deep within his soul. Tang Hao Yu Xiaogang sensed this from his Second Martial Soul, the Tang Hao Quantum Elf's, instinctive psychological abilities.
It seems that the God Trial Grounds set up by the God of Asura are not a good place! It gives people the feeling of a breeding ground for Evil Soul Master! Let Soul Master kill each other like worms in it, and pick out the strongest one.
As expected, none of the Douluo God had good intentions; they were completely using humans as pawns to manipulate. Yu Xiaogang put away the Soul Tool Recorder, intending to give Tang Hao a few words of advice. Ah Yin hesitated, watching the Soul Tool Recorder disappear from Yu Xiaogang's waist. She thought, "Well, as the Dragon Gate Sect, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be so tasteless as to release the video of Tang Hao's marriage proposal."
Yu Xiaogang, with his hands behind his back, faced Tang Hao and said solemnly:
"Tang Hao, I don't know where you heard about the Slaughter City. I suggest you live in Notting City for a while, get some exposure to the world, and purify the killing intent in your heart. Let me give you a question: What is life? Think about it carefully."
Tang Hao, now that you're Soul Douluo, you should be able to see that Ah Yin is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformed into human. Would you still be willing to marry Ah Yin? Ah Yin hasn't reached level 70 Soul Saint yet; she's not mature enough to hide her Soul Beast aura.
Tang Hao immediately stepped forward, bowed his head, and admitted his mistake:
"I was being presumptuous. After all, I've been in that place for so long, and facing assassination attempts every day has dulled my mind. So I'll stay here and protect Ah Yin until she matures, and then continue to take Ah Yin to travel the continent. After all, I promised to accompany Ah Yin to every corner of the Douluo Continent."
"Whatever Ah Yin may be, I only know that Ah Yin is Ah Yin! I don't care about some Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! Hmph! If anyone dares to lay a hand on Ah Yin, I'll smash their dog head in with my Clear Sky Hammer!"
Tang Hao first admitted that he was too eager to see his lover Ah Yin, then gently looked at Ah Yin beside him, turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang with firm eyes, and said word by word.
This deeply moved Ah Yin; it seemed she had truly found someone she could entrust her life to!
"Thank you, Ah Hao!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, Ah Yin? From now on, I'll protect you! Notting City is near the territory of the Dragon Gate Sect. Who on the Douluo Continent doesn't know the name of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang? Moreover, the Dragon Gate Sect has two Titled Douluo. Ah Yin, you've lived here for so long without any problems. Isn't that all thanks to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang?"
Tang Hao stared sharply at Yu Xiaogang, trying to discern the expression on his face. After all, no Soul Master on the continent would turn a blind eye to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Spirit Ring, especially since the Dragon Gate Sect possessed two Titled Douluo; it was impossible for them not to discover Ah Yin's true identity.
However, when Tang Hao thought of the terrifying Soul Beast Yun Lan, he became uncertain about Yu Xiaogang's thoughts. Was Yu Xiaogang really not interested in the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Seeing Tang Hao's suddenly wary look, Yu Xiaogang subtly blocked Ah Yin's way. It seemed that he could confirm that Ah Yin's true identity was not revealed by Tang Hao, who was so straightforward. What had he missed?
Regardless of Yu Xiaogang's blatant hostility towards Tang Hao, Ah Yin tugged at Tang Hao's sleeve, reminding Tang Hao not to be so rude to Yu Xiaogang, the sect leader of the Dragon Gate Sect. After all, Ah Yin felt that everyone in the Dragon Gate Sect had been very kind to her.
Yu Xiaogang ignored Tang Hao's hostility and walked step by step to Tang Hao, with one Spirit Ring after another flashing out beneath his feet that shocked the world.
Black, black, black, red! Yu Xiaogang's illogical Spirit Ring left Tang Hao stunned and motionless. At first, he thought it was all an illusion, but the pressure that the Blood-colored Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring exerted on his soul was undeniable.
"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang! How is this possible! How could Soul Master absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring First Soul Ring! And how did you withstand Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Doesn't absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring involve a soul impact?"
Ah Yin also carefully used her Soul Beast abilities to sense the energy within Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Ring, but there wasn't a trace of Soul Beast from any of them. Ah Yin was a little uncertain, especially since the last Blood-colored Soul Ring, Spirit Ring with four golden runes, gave her the feeling that it was alive! Seeing Tang Hao's utterly bewildered expression, Yu Xiaogang kindly explained:
"I don't care about Spirit Ring produced by Soul Beast, since they are external objects and don't support my cultivation. This is a secret technique I've researched, a closely guarded secret of the Dragon Gate Sect. Artificial Soul Ring! And a method to increase the age of Spirit Ring. Ah Yin, as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Transformation, you should be able to sense that my fifth Spirit Ring is different, right? To her, it's a living Spirit Ring!"
Tang Hao now held Yu Xiaogang in even greater respect and was even more curious about the Dragon Gate Sect that Yu Xiaogang had founded. Indeed, the world had underestimated Yu Xiaogang! Even his youngest Soul Douluo wasn't worthy to carry Yu Xiaogang's shoes! Tang Hao respectfully addressed Yu Xiaogang as he approached, saying, "Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, I'm a little confused as to why you say your Spirit Ring are alive? Spirit Ring are just Spirit Ring, how can they have life?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled mysteriously and said to Tang Hao, "This is the foundation of the Artificial Soul Ring I've researched: the Soul Spirit! It's also the reason why Spirit Ring users live, essentially giving the Spirit Ring a soul. I'm telling you this now because I consider you a friend, Tang Hao, and I hope you won't tell anyone else."
Today, Tang Hao witnessed a side of Yu Xiaogang that was previously unknown. Regarding Yu Xiaogang's warning that he swore an oath with his Martial Soul that he would never do it, Yu Xiaogang was quite reassured. In the Douluo Continent, Soul Master take Martial Soul oaths very seriously, and Tang Hao dared not disobey. After all, when Yu Xiaogang spoke last, his soul trembled with fear, a feeling Tang Hao didn't want to experience a second time.
Tang Hao sensed that Yu Xiaogang was definitely more than just Soul King; he had never felt this in his father Titled Douluo. A thought surged within Tang Hao, and he could no longer suppress it: if he and Ah Yin had a child, the child would definitely become Yu Xiaogang's disciple! Tang Hao believed that Yu Xiaogang would soon become the number one person on the Douluo Continent! (Requesting monthly votes! Please continue reading!)
