A Test of Tang Hao's Proposal
Yu Xiaogang turned away from Tang Hao and spoke gently to Ah Yin:
"Ah Yin, you should come to the Dragon Gate Sect's secret realm to cultivate tomorrow! Only by reaching level 70 Soul Saint quickly can you hide your Soul Beast aura."
Before Ah Yin could thank him, Yu Xiaogang put away the Spirit Ring that had terrified all the Soul Master in Douluo, and looked back and forth between Tang Hao and Ah Yin with a teasing gaze, jokingly saying:
"Since Tang Hao just proposed to you, Ah Yin, and Ah Yin agreed, let's pick an auspicious day in a few days and I'll officiate your wedding! It's been a long time since the Dragon Gate Sect has been this lively!"
Yu Xiaogang's teasing gaze made Tang Hao and Ah Yin feel like their faces were on fire. Tang Hao scratched his head embarrassedly and revealed his silly nature, chuckling foolishly.
It seems Tang Hao was like this before he lost Ah Yin; it's unimaginable in real life. This must be a real world, not an anime or novel, since anime and novels present God's Perspective or the protagonist's perspective.
Then Yu Xiaogang led Tang Hao and Ah Yin back to the Dragon Gate Sect, introducing them to Flender and Liu Erlong. Flender was very welcoming to Tang Hao, immediately striking up a conversation. After all, Yu Xiaogang was a hands-off manager; how could he not care about the development of the Dragon Gate Sect? At this time, Bibi Dong also finished her daily cultivation and came out from the Back Hall. Seeing how lively the Heavenly Dragon Sect, she asked curiously:
"Xiaogang, why is the sect so lively today? Who came to visit? Why did someone as busy as you have to come out to greet them?"
When Liu Erlong saw Bibi Dong approaching, he warmly greeted her, took her hand, and led her to a seat. Then, pointing at Tang Hao, he said, "Bibi Dong! One of the twin stars of the Clear Sky Sect is proposing to Ah Yin. We're currently discussing how to arrange things at the Dragon Gate Sect. Xiaogang said he'll also be hosting Tang Hao and Ah Yin's wedding. This is the first time I've ever seen Xiaogang so concerned about someone else's affairs! Don't you think so, Sister-in-law Bibi Dong?"
Yu Xiaogang felt awkward, unsure whether to sit or stand. He felt Bibi Dong's resentful gaze piercing him like knives, especially since he hadn't given Bibi Dong a grand wedding, and Liu Erlong was adding fuel to the fire. He could only turn his gaze to Flender, hoping that his older brother could keep Liu Erlong in check.
Flender, seeing Yu Xiaogang's pleading look, initially wanted to say something, but upon meeting Liu Erlong's threatening gaze, his smile froze. He could only give Yu Xiaogang a helpless look, implying, "Xiaogang, good luck. It's not that I don't want to help you, but it's your own fault, Xiaogang!" Fortunately, Tang Hao hadn't yet grasped the situation. Upon hearing that the stunning beauty was Bibi Dong, he pulled Ah Yin Your Majesty Bibi Dong. On behalf of the Clear Sky Hammer, I extend my greetings. Thank you for your care and protection of Ah Yin. Today, I've come to propose to Ah Yin."
Yu Xiaogang now wanted to thank Tang Hao for his simple-mindedness, which diverted Bibi Dong's attention. However, he still needed to carefully plan how to propose to Bibi Dong and hold a grand wedding, since Bibi Dong had now entrusted everything to him.
Bibi Dong, her expression grave, beckoned to Ah Yin, signaling her to come to her side. Ah Yin glanced at Tang Hao worriedly before slowly walking to Bibi Dong's side. Bibi Dong took Ah Yin's hand and coldly said to the bewildered Tang Hao below, "I've always considered Ah Yin my little sister! Tang Hao, since you want to marry Ah Yin, let me see if you have the ability! The weak are incapable of protecting Ah Yin!"
Tang Hao looked up at Bibi Dong, whose eyes were sharp, and Ah Yin, whose face was full of worry, and took a firm step forward, saying solemnly:
"Let Your Majesty test me! I believe my heart for Ah Yin is unwavering. I am not the kind of person who would give up in the face of a powerful enemy! Only those with weak hearts are afraid of trials! I am ready!"
Tang Hao stared intently at Bibi Dong's discerning gaze, knowing she was testing his ability to protect Ah Yin. As one of the two Titled Douluo of the Dragon Gate Sect, Bibi Dong certainly knew that Ah Yin was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in Transformation.
Tang Hao felt that the Dragon Gate Sect was indeed a unique sect on the Douluo Continent. They showed no greed in the face of the temptation of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and protected her in every way. They treated Ah Yin as family and friends, and they even knew that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had developed Artificial Soul Ring technology. They certainly wouldn't take Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring seriously!
Even if he didn't know, could others obtain Yu Xiaogang's Artificial Soul Ring? Tang Hao wondered to himself, but he soon found out.
"Alright! Tang Hao! If you can withstand the pressure of my Martial Soul for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll acknowledge you! Strength is earned through fighting, not words!"
Bibi Dong admired Tang Hao's resolute and determined gaze, but she had already made her decision and had to complete the process! Then she turned to Yu Xiaogang and gave him a look. Yu Xiaogang immediately understood and took out an incense stick from his Storage Soul Tool. With a subtle fluctuation of Soul Power, the incense lit immediately.
Yu Xiaogang nodded to Tang Hao, then used the incense stick as a throwing knife, plunging it straight into the hard floor tile like a hot knife through butter. This made Yibang Flender feel heartbroken; Xiaogang really didn't know the cost of living! Sigh! Another expense coming up! Bibi Dong released Ah Yin, letting her stand next to Liu Erlong. A spider-woman's phantom appeared behind Bibi Dong, her feet shrouded in a dark, purplish-black... red!
As Bibi Dong's astonishing Spirit Ring appeared one by one, Tang Hao's pupils dilated in shock! Another Soul Master with super-standard Spirit Ring, and a Titled Douluo at that! It seemed Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's Artificial Soul Ring were a stable and successful achievement, making him even more determined to send his next generation to the Dragon Gate Sect to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple! However, this wasn't the time for Tang Hao to think about such things. As Bibi Dong's Spirit Ring fully unfolded, an immense force pressed down on every part of his body, even his soul felt an inhuman pressure. He felt his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul tremble, as if he had encountered a prehistoric beast.
Flender and Liu Erlong were also shocked when they first saw Bibi Dong's Spirit Ring, after all, her Spirit Ring were too amazing! Especially the ninth Spirit Ring, which was blood red and shone on Flender's face, made him feel a faint pressure.
Ah Yin's eyes gleamed with wonder. When she saw that Bibi Dong's ninth Spirit Ring was the same as Yu Xiaogang's, it gave her a sense of life. Ah Yin was overjoyed. As long as the Dragon Gate Sect continued to develop, the Soul Beast Clan would no longer be Soul Hunting by Soul Master!
Tang Hao was sweating profusely and gritting his teeth to persevere. With two cracking sounds, the floor tiles beneath his feet burst open, causing Flender's cheeks to twitch.
Tang Hao first withstood Bibi Dong's Martial Soul pressure head-on, then circulated his Soul Power to resist and used the Clear Sky Sect's self-created secret technique to deflect the force. Just as the incense stick burned its last moment, coinciding with the peak of Bibi Dong's Martial Soul pressure, a huge hammer crackling with blue lightning struck the floor tiles, shattering a large section of the hall's floor. This caused Flender to clutch his heart, his face bitter. These floor tiles were the same type used by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School! Each tile cost 10 Gold Soul Coin! Tang Hao had to compensate him! However, seeing that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong remained unmoved, Flender gave up; if the sect master didn't care, so be it.
As the incense burned out, Bibi Dong put away her Martial Soul and Spirit Ring and said solemnly, "Tang Hao! You're very good! I acknowledge your love for Ah Yin! I hope you don't let me know that Ah Yin has suffered any injustice, or I won't take this lying down!"
Tang Hao knelt on one knee amidst the rubble, leaning on his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul and panting heavily, but he smiled happily. Ah Yin, feeling sorry for Tang Hao, came to his side and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, which made Flender extremely envious. He wondered when his Second Dragon Sister would treat him like that, since Liu Erlong always had a fiery temper and treated him badly.
If Yu Xiaogang knew what Flender was thinking, he would pat him on the shoulder and say that Liu Erlong was the legendary Sichuan Girl.
At this moment, Liu Erlong felt a jolt all over his body, and he rubbed his arms together, getting goosebumps. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
