The Brain Was Trembling!

Tang San's plan to go hunting for a soul beast ahead of schedule was postponed until the third day.

The dean was not free at all times, and he specifically asked Tang San whether they should wait for Grandmaster to return.

Tang San shook his head and said there was no need. He had already learned plenty of Grandmaster's theoretical knowledge, so he could choose a soul beast himself.

He even named several theories and soul beasts on the spot.

The dean of Nuoding Academy was not particularly knowledgeable, so names like "Thunderous Prison Vine" and "Demon-Eyed Tree, King of All Demons" from Tang San frightened him into believing it.

However, neither of them knew that two figures on Nuoding Academy's rooftop were already watching them.

No matter how formidable the Purple Demon Eye was, it could not allow the current Tang San to detect a Titled Douluo.

"This Tang San seems to have reached the bottleneck of level twenty." Radiant Feather Douluo stroked his chin. "My eyesight and hearing are excellent as well. It sounded like he was discussing hunting a soul beast in the dean's office just now."

"He's going out to hunt a soul beast?" Shi Yueyi lay sprawled along the rooftop's edge. "Then we can follow him."

"How are we handling him? Kill him outright?" Radiant Feather Douluo grabbed Shi Yueyi by the collar and pulled her away from the edge, then the two sat down on the roof.

Shi Yueyi narrowed her eyes. "He doesn't seem that easy to kill... Grandpa Guang Ling, do you remember what I told you and Young Master? He even survived a battle between four Titled Douluo. Do you have any thoughts on that?"

Shi Yueyi had indeed made some guesses about that matter.

For instance, Tang Hao might have explored some ancient Soul Tool ruin and acquired a level-nine Soul Tool comparable to Mortal World's Blessing from ten thousand years later, thereby saving Tang San's life.

But on second thought, that was impossible. If a Soul Tool could keep an infant safe for three days and three nights, it would have to be a legendary god-grade defensive Soul Tool beyond level ten.

God-grade?

Could it have been Tang Hao's Divine Slaughter's Domain? Had some Asura God already set his sights on Tang San at that time?

There had always been a rumor in the assassin world of later generations: the so-called Divine Slaughter's Domain was actually a tool or signal used by the Asura God to cast a wide net and fish for inheritors.

So Tang Hao, like Tang San, was one of the Asura God's chosen.

"That's a little too far beyond comprehension." Radiant Feather Douluo shook his head. "I myself am at the peak of level ninety-six, so I understand all too well how violent the energy at that level is. Forget an infant—after fighting for three days and three nights, even a Soul Douluo wouldn't be able to endure it."

"Of Spirit Hall's three Titled Douluo back then, the former pope was level ninety-five, while the two guards were probably somewhat weaker. There was absolutely no possibility of survival."

"Then how did Tang Hao defeat them?" Shi Yueyi could not help asking.

She would have to seek revenge on that man herself in the future, so it was good to understand him in advance.

"Ring Explosion." Radiant Feather Douluo explained, "It's a secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect. They explode their soul rings and channel the energy within into themselves and their martial souls. It can also be used alongside their Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. But from my perspective, it still seems a bit excessive."

"Divine Slaughter's Domain..." Shi Yueyi suddenly said. "Could it be because that domain really is the work of some god?"

"Judging by the name, a Deathgod?" Radiant Feather Douluo froze, then said hesitantly, "The former pope also had Angel Domain, which counted as a god-grade domain. According to the descriptions after the battle, those two domains seemed to restrain each other. It still makes no sense."

"Forget it, I won't think about it." Shi Yueyi patted her head. "Maybe a god bestowed their power upon Tang Hao."

"Come to think of it, there's something else I find strange." Radiant Feather Douluo frowned.

"My hearing is excellent, so I couldn't have misheard. That Tang San just mentioned two soul beasts: the Thunderous Prison Vine and the Demon-Eyed Tree..." He hesitated. "Neither of those are soul beasts an eight- or nine-year-old child could know about. Could he really have some divine oracle on him?"

Hiss—

At that thought, he suddenly understood what Young Master had told him.

This little attendant was far from simple. It was as though she knew things she should not have known.

Then she deliberately used certain "coincidences" to guide Qian Renxue into doing certain things and uncovering some hidden truths.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could still have been considered a coincidence last time.

But this time, Radiant Feather Douluo sensed it too.

Once, twice, three times—those could no longer be coincidences!

She's practically a prophet, someone who knows the future, Radiant Feather Douluo thought.

"That is very possible." Shi Yueyi followed along with Radiant Feather Douluo's words. "Perhaps some god descended upon Tang San."

Yet she could not help furrowing her brows.

How did Tang San, not even nine years old, know about the Thunderous Prison Vine and the Myriad Demon King?

Don't tell her Yu Xiaogang had taught him.

In fact, in the original timeline, Tang San had studied under Yu Xiaogang for six years and did not even know what kind of place the Star Dou Great Forest was.

A dangerous thought suddenly came to her.

This Tang San was very likely a transmigrator too, and like her, he had returned from the future.

Shi Yueyi steadied herself.

Afterward, she and Radiant Feather Douluo discussed their next plan until nightfall.

"What are they doing?" Shi Yueyi looked at Radiant Feather Douluo with a strange expression. "They're heading out tomorrow, so they're hurrying to get intimate..."

Radiant Feather Douluo quickly reached out and covered Shi Yueyi's eyes. "Don't overthink it. They're having a pillow fight!"

"A pillow fight?" Shi Yueyi was horrified.

In the past, she had carried out an investigation mission in the Dou Ling Empire.

She discovered that Xue Kui, the lord of Province One, had met the wife of the lord of Province Two during one of his travels. The two had done something, and then the lord's wife of Province Two gave birth to a son named Xue Leng.

In the end, after Xue Leng's nominal father—the old lord—died, Province Two fell into Xue Leng's hands. Later, Xue Leng and Xue Kui raised an army and launched a rebellion against the Dou Ling imperial family.

That was what a war on the pillow should be, right?

Could something capable of shaking an empire's power structure happen in this tiny academy?

At the edge of their vision, through that dormitory window, a black-haired rabbit martial soul master was wrapping her scorpion braid around another boy's neck, then plopping down onto his stomach and laughing loudly.

"Something's wrong. Wait." Radiant Feather Douluo looked over.

Shi Yueyi could not help laughing inwardly.

That transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would not escape.

Sure enough, Radiant Feather Douluo's expression turned grave. "Th-this girl... she is..."

"What is she?" Shi Yueyi asked deliberately.

"She is a..." Radiant Feather Douluo unconsciously lowered his voice. "She's clearly a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rebuilding herself!"

Shi Yueyi stared wide-eyed. "You mean Xiao Wu, the second person in the records with Innate Full Soul Power, is actually the transformed form of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"

Radiant Feather Douluo felt as if his brain were trembling!

Even Spirit Hall now had only three people with 100,000-Year Soul Rings!

They were Pope Bibi Dong, Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu, and Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo.

It could be said that a 100,000-Year Soul Ring was practically a guarantee of reaching level ninety-eight!
