While searching for a Soul Ring for Zhuang Jingxi, Zhuang Xingyu unexpectedly discovered the Blue Silver Forest. Naturally, he showed no mercy, having Zhuang Shushen use her sixth soul skill to kill the Blue Silver King outright. Then, a great fire wiped out the Blue Silver Forest!
Without the sacrifices of the Blue Silver King and the others, Tang San no longer had even the slightest chance of obtaining the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline! As mentioned before, because Tang San had possessed another body, half of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him had already dissipated.
In the original timeline, he had successfully awakened only because he absorbed the Blue Silver King and the bloodline origin of the entire Blue Silver Forest, thereby obtaining a complete Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
Now, Tang San's first martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, had truly become the utterly useless martial soul everyone called it!
To make a long story short, with two level 96 Super Douluo—Zhuang Shushen and Murong Yunxue—standing guard, Li Xuanhua and the other two obtained Soul Rings suited to them and finished absorbing them in just six hours!
All three had Soul Rings beyond their limits. Thanks to the residual medicinal effects of the pills they had taken earlier, Li Xuanhua and Zhuang Jingxi's Soul Power directly rose to level 84. Zihan's Soul Power also reached level 55.
By then, dawn had begun to break, and the five of them left the Star Dou Forest.
Once they reached an uninhabited place, they could finally speak freely.
"Congratulations, Mother, on obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!" Zhuang Jingxi hurriedly added her congratulations.
"Haha! It's not just that! My Soul Power has directly reached level 96. With the support of two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, my Combat Power can even reach level 98. Below the rank of Limit Douluo, no one can do anything to me."
"That's amazing! Then let's move up the plan and go kill Tang Hao now!"
"Jingxi, why are you still so impatient? Tang Hao has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as well, along with the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques. Defeating him won't be a problem, but if he risks everything to escape, Zhuang Shushen and I alone may not be able to catch him!"
"Then the enemy would be hidden while we would be exposed, and the other disciples of the family would be in danger. What if he even fled back to the Clear Sky Sect? Though he has already been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, he is still Tang Xiao's younger brother. We must be on guard."
"Only after your brother and the First Elder both break through to Titled Douluo can we ensure nothing goes wrong and make it impossible for him to escape."
Zhuang Jingxi quickly replied, "Mm, I understand. I was just too excited. I'll definitely keep my cool."
"Alright. Jingxi, Xuanhua, Han'er, the three of you return to the family. Xingyu and I won't be going home. We'll head straight for the area near Nuoding City to lie in wait. Once the hidden guards gather the information, we'll find an opportunity to suppress Xiao Wu."
Along the way, Murong Yunxue also told Zhuang Xingyu about the Soul Ring skills and Soul Bone skills she had gained, allowing him to better coordinate Zhuang Shushen and Murong Yunxue in case Tang Hao suddenly changed course and returned to Nuoding Academy.
After secretly arriving near Nuoding City, the grandfather and granddaughter headed to their rendezvous point with the hidden guards and concealed themselves there. They adjusted themselves to peak condition, ready to enter battle at any moment.
Zhuang Xingyu had long prepared six ten-year Soul Bones from different body parts. To be honest, ten-year Soul Bones were incredibly hard to find. After secretly searching the entire family, he had only barely managed to gather enough. (This refers to Soul Bones with a ten-year lifespan, not twenty-, thirty-, or ninety-year ones.)
After all, a ten-year Soul Bone was not even worth a hundred Gold Soul Coins. Ordinary iron was harder than it was, and people would even disdain using it to plow fields.
When Zhuang Xingyu left the secret chamber, he had given his father a copy of Tang Hao's current appearance, as well as portraits of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Tang Hao was such a conspicuous person. For so long, he had been constantly traveling between Nuoding Academy and the cave where the fake Ah Yin was located. His eating, drinking, defecating, clothing, food, lodging, and travel would surely leave traces behind. As long as they investigated carefully, they would definitely uncover the pattern of his movements.
While they were in the Star Dou Forest earlier, Zhuang Xingyu had also captured several ten-year soul beasts, including Blue Silver Grass and a fart bird.
As its name implied, the fart bird could do nothing but fart. Its entire body reeked, and it used that stench to disgust enemies and evade attacks.
It was a perfect match for Yu Xiaogang's first soul skill, Fart Like Thunder: Heaven-Shattering Luo Sanpao, and second soul skill, Fart Like Mist: Hypnotic Sleep Luo Sanpao. Zhuang Xingyu could be said to have fulfilled this master and disciple pair, giving them more topics in common.
When the time came, he would attach all of them to Tang San's second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San was, after all, the son of Zhuang Xingyu's sworn enemy, so Zhuang Xingyu had an obligation to give Tang San ten-year Soul Rings. Not just this time—every Soul Ring the Clear Sky Hammer gained in the future had to be arranged as ten-year ones as well.
The next afternoon, the hidden guards delivered news: Tang Hao had only visited Nuoding Academy once every six days over the past few years. He had already come yesterday, so he most likely would not come again for the next five days. Tonight, Tang San would go to Grandmaster's room to study, while Xiao Wu would take several laps around the small grove at Nuoding Academy after evening self-study before returning to the dormitory.
The grandfather and granddaughter immediately decided to act that very night!
As night fell, Zhuang Xingyu and Murong Yunxue changed into night clothes and masks, concealed their auras, and quietly headed for Nuoding Academy.
Zhuang Xingyu quietly sensed the surroundings with the Chaos Bead. Once he confirmed there was no third Titled Douluo nearby, he finally relaxed.
However, the grandfather and granddaughter still decided to act together to prevent any accidents. They would suppress Xiao Wu first, then install ten-year Soul Bones and Soul Rings on Tang San.
Nuoding Academy was already very quiet. Only the dormitories and gatehouse still had lights, and hardly anyone walked the roads. At the entrance to the dormitories, a dorm supervisor was reminding students to return to their rooms quickly, since the dormitories would close in half an hour.
Xiao Wu was sitting on a bench beneath the trees, gloomily fiddling with a flowering branch.
"That Tang San is so annoying. Not only is he ugly, his voice is awful too. He's so effeminate, and sometimes he even makes noises like an ape."
"And he always likes pressing himself against me. Fine, let him press against me. As long as I close my eyes, I can just pretend a dog is gnawing on me. But at critical moments, he always lets me down. If I hadn't been forced into it, I never would have taken the initiative to get close to him."
Xiao Wu's martial soul was a rabbit. Unlike most mammals, rabbits had two uteruses, which meant they could become pregnant while already pregnant. Rabbits also had an especially short gestation period, about one month, and could produce roughly five to eight offspring at a time. Therefore, given sufficient mating, a pair of rabbits could give birth to as many as around 192 rabbits in a year. And that was not even the end of it, because rabbits needed only six months to reach maturity and enter their breeding period, so the final number would be far greater.
Rabbits remained in heat throughout the year and were especially sensitive. If one kept stroking a rabbit, it would believe it was being impregnated and experience pseudopregnancy. This phenomenon also applied to male rabbits.
Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, and especially before she gained intelligence, she never refused any male rabbit.
Therefore, it was difficult to say whether Xiao Wu and her mother were truly mother and daughter—or sisters.
Just then, Murong Yunxue silently arrived behind Xiao Wu. With a Titled Douluo's hand-chop, she slashed straight toward Xiao Wu's neck.
