Tang Hao's Killing Intent

The streets of Suotuo City were bustling with people.

Ning Rongrong did not wander around the city. Instead, she headed straight for the most famous courier station in town.

It was an official institution under the Heaven Dou Empire, known for its speed and secrecy.

Of course, its prices were also extremely high.

Ning Rongrong paid a hefty fee without the slightest concern and asked for the quietest private room.

She closed the door and took out the letter paper and brush she had prepared long ago from her Soul Tool.

Her fair fingers held the pen shaft, yet Ning Rongrong did not start writing for a long while.

In Ning Rongrong's mind, Su Bai's figure kept flashing past.

The figure who had swept through everything in the assessment and saved her and Zhu Zhuqing.

The figure who had kissed her domineeringly in the dormitory corridor.

The figure who could casually take out a Soul Tool capable of changing the balance of the continent, yet had only given it to her as a self-defense toy.

This man was mysterious, powerful, domineering, and carried a kind of carefree thoughtfulness.

Su Bai was like a whirlpool, pulling her in before she even realized it.

Ning Rongrong bit her lip.

She knew she had truly fallen for him, and that it was not just the earlier resentment she had toward Su Bai.

Moreover, Ning Rongrong also knew very clearly that this man was absolutely the most perfect choice of partner for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

A Kirin Spirit of extremely high quality, Level Thirty-five at twelve years old—his future achievements were limitless.

Not to mention the mysterious Soul Tool clan behind him.

If she could draw him into the sect...

Ning Rongrong's breathing grew a little rapid.

She hesitated no longer and began writing quickly across the letter paper.

The letter was addressed to her father, Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

In the letter, she described in detail everything she had seen and heard at Shrek Academy, placing special emphasis on a young man named "Su Bai."

Ning Rongrong used every word of praise she could think of to describe Su Bai's talent and strength.

From his inconceivable Spirit Ring Configuration, to his Combat Power far surpassing others his age, to that mysterious Kirin Spirit.

Finally, she mentioned the "Spirit Breaking Spear."

Ning Rongrong described the Spirit Breaking Spear's power in detail. It allowed a Level Twenty-six Support System Soul Grandmaster to unleash a strike comparable to that of a Power Attack System Soul Elder.

She believed that this point alone would be enough to draw her father's attention.

When she reached this point, Ning Rongrong paused, her cheeks turning scorching hot.

At the end of the letter, Ning Rongrong added one sentence in tiny handwriting.

"Father, your daughter seems to have found the person she admires."

After finishing, Ning Rongrong carefully folded the letter paper, placed it into a special waterproof envelope, and sealed it with Soul Power.

Only after finishing all this did Ning Rongrong let out a long breath.

She walked out of the private room, handed the letter to the courier station staff, and instructed them to send it urgently to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in Heaven Dou City.

After finishing her business, Ning Rongrong felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

With light steps, she left the courier station, preparing to return to the academy and find Su Bai.

However, less than a minute after she left...

A figure appeared silently before the courier station counter.

That person wore an ordinary set of gray cloth clothes and had an unremarkable appearance, the kind that would vanish the moment he was thrown into a crowd.

He said nothing, only showed the courier station staff a token.

The token was forged from pure gold, with an exquisite Seven-Story Pagoda carved on it.

When the staff member saw the token, his expression instantly became incomparably respectful.

Without another word, he immediately presented the letter Ning Rongrong had just handed over with both hands.

The man in Gray Clothes took the letter and left at once. After spreading his wings, he flew toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

In the woods outside Shrek Academy, within the shadows.

Tang Hao's figure had merged with the darkness.

He had seen everything that had happened on the academy's wasteland during the day from beginning to end.

"A hidden Soul Tool clan?" Tang Hao muttered under his breath.

Su Bai's explanation sounded flawless.

A twelve-year-old Level Thirty-five Spirit Elder, a yellow-purple-purple Spirit Ring Configuration, and that astonishingly powerful Soul Tool.

All of it pointed to one possibility: behind him, there really was an unknown and powerful force.

And yet, Tang Hao still felt that something was off.

As Clear Sky Douluo, standing at the very peak of this world's pyramid, he considered himself thoroughly familiar with every notable power on the continent.

Whether it was the upper three sects, the Two Great Empires, or Spirit Hall, he had never heard of any hidden Soul Tool clan.

Soul Tool technology had already been lost long before ancient times.

Even if some inheritance had survived, it could not possibly have reached such an astonishing level.

"Perhaps some old monster had a sudden whim and took in a final disciple?"

Tang Hao thought of another possibility.

But no matter which it was, it made him feel that things were troublesome.

If there truly stood an existence behind Su Bai that even he could not afford to provoke, then making a move against Su Bai would be the same as bringing a colossal disaster down upon Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Hao himself was not afraid. At worst, he could continue living under a hidden name.

But Tang San could not.

Tang San still had to grow, and he still had to restore the prestige of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Hao's fist slowly clenched in the shadows.

He could not allow an uncontrollable variable like Su Bai to appear on Tang San's path of growth.

This Su Bai not only had talent superior to Little San's, his schemes were far beyond what Little San could compare to as well.

Most importantly, Su Bai had stolen Xiao Wu's heart.

That blow to Little San was far too heavy.

The dazed, devastated look Tang San had worn in front of the dormitory building today left a bitter taste in his heart as a father.

Tang Hao had originally wanted Su Bai to serve as Little San's whetstone.

But now it seemed this stone was too hard—so hard it might shatter the blade that was Little San outright.

A murderous thought rose once again in the depths of Tang Hao's heart.

He had to be eliminated!

But he could not do it himself.

Once he made a move personally, whether he succeeded or failed, traces would be left behind.

If the force behind Su Bai investigated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He had to come up with a foolproof plan, a way for him to die "reasonably" and "silently."

Tang Hao's mind began calculating at high speed.

A genius Spirit Master unfortunately encountered a beast tide while hunting for a spirit ring and died by accident.

No one would be able to find anything wrong with it.

This plan was flawless.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao did not know that Su Bai's Kirin Spirit was an Auspicious Beast. His plan was destined to fail.

"Su Bai..."

Tang Hao murmured the name, his Killing Intent completely undisguised.

"Then let you become the first stepping stone on Little San's climb to the summit."

Tang Hao made up his mind and hesitated no longer.

Tang Hao's figure slowly faded where he stood, then finally vanished completely.

He had not left, but instead changed to an even more concealed position and continued lying in wait.

Tang Hao would wait—wait for the students of Shrek Academy to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

And Su Bai, at this moment, still knew nothing of this.

He had just returned to the dormitory and was preparing to properly "guide" Xiao Wu on the correct cultivation method for the Soft Bone Rabbit Spirit.
