Tang Hao: That Bastard! Ah Yin, Are You Still Not Giving Up!

"Child?"

Tang Hao froze for a moment, then as if he had heard some tremendous joke, a savage fury surfaced on his face.

"That bastard again!"

He shouted harshly, "I said long ago that such a naturally frail piece of trash would only be a burden if kept alive!"

"I threw him into the Spirit Beast Forest. With that weak little body of his, he was no different from a medicinal herb in the eyes of those Spirit Beasts!"

"He was eaten so thoroughly that not even his bones remained! There was no way he could have survived!"

Tang Hao's tone brimmed with disdain.

He looked down at Ah Yin from on high, that smug expression returning to his face.

"Ah Yin, at this point, you should face reality."

"I've now received a reward from the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking. My strength has already reached the pinnacle; I have no need for your 100,000-year Soul Ring anymore."

"As long as you admit your mistake now and return to my side, I can let bygones be bygones and find a way to truly revive you."

Ah Yin listened quietly. The last trace of warmth in her beautiful eyes vanished completely, leaving only endless indifference.

"There is no longer any possibility."

She softly uttered those four words, severing all ties with the past.

Tang Chen, standing beside her, remained silent throughout.

He naturally had no favorable feelings toward Tang Hao.

If Ah Yin had not wanted to question him personally and bring this karmic tie to an end, he would not have allowed Tang Hao to remain before him for even one second longer.

Now, however, he was rather interested in seeing just how far this man's ugly performance could go.

Ah Yin's cold gaze was like a sharp thorn, deeply piercing Tang Hao's pride.

"Ah Yin!"

He roared in frustration.

"Are you still going to stubbornly persist in your delusion?!"

Yet he did not notice.

Or rather, no one across the entire continent noticed.

Above the Firmament, the enormous golden ranking that had originally displayed the reward text quietly changed.

Golden Light flowed, transforming into a massive screen of light like a mirror, reflecting a scene high in the sky.

In the image was Tang Hao.

He had just received the Heavenly Dao Reward and was brimming with confidence, only to be sent flying backward in the next instant, coughing blood from a single look from a White-clothed Figure.

The frustrated, furious, and unwilling expression on his face was clearly projected before everyone across the entire Douluo Continent.

Opposite him, that White-clothed Figure stood as still as an abyss and as imposing as a mountain, his strength unfathomably deep.

In an instant, the entire continent fell silent.

Before Jialing Pass.

The cheers of the Heaven Dou Allied Army came to an abrupt halt.

The smug smile on Tang San's face froze.

"Th-this... what is going on?"

Ma Hongjun stammered, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Weren't the rewards being distributed? Why did it start broadcasting?"

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi and the Sword and Bone Douluos looked at one another, each seeing utter shock in the other's eyes.

"Who... is that man in white?!"

Within Spirit Hall.

Qian Daoliu abruptly rose to his feet, Staring Fixedly at the screen.

Everyone was stunned.

They had thought that what came next would be Tang Hao absorbing the reward and displaying divine might.

Who could have expected such a scene instead?!

The Clear Sky Douluo, who had just ascended to the altar of legend, had been severely wounded by a single look?!

Immediately afterward, they saw Tang Hao in the image unwillingly roaring at the blue-skirted woman beside that Mysterious Person.

"Ah Yin, are you still going to stubbornly persist in your delusion?!"

Boom!

In the minds of every Spirit Master across the continent who had watched the previous Golden Ranking review, it was as though a thunderclap had exploded!

A Yin?!

The stunningly beautiful woman beside that Mysterious Person was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had sacrificed herself for Tang Hao in the previous ranking footage—the Blue Silver Emperor A Yin?!

They had thought they were watching the grand spectacle of a Heavenly Dao Reward, only to stumble upon such a world-shaking piece of gossip!

Just who was that mysterious White-clothed Figure?

What kind of grudges and entanglements existed between him, Tang Hao, and A Yin?

Before the discussions across the continent could fully erupt, the light screen Above the Firmament changed once more.

Beside the livestream footage, lines of golden text appeared out of thin air, cascading downward like a waterfall.

[Spirit Hall - Golden Crocodile Douluo: Just who is this man?! He actually severely wounded Tang Hao, who has received a divine reward, with a single glance?!]
[Heaven Dou Empire - Xue Beng: Inconceivable! The might of the Clear Sky Douluo is... is actually this vulnerable?]
[Star Luo Empire - Dai Tianfeng: Gossip! Earth-shattering gossip! The Clear Sky Douluo's wife actually ran off with another man?]
[Clear Sky Sect - Tang Xiao: This aura... is not that of a mortal.]

These words were actually the thoughts of people throughout the continent, captured by the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking and transformed into tangible bullet comments displayed before the world!

Moreover, everyone who saw these words instantly understood the concepts of livestreaming and bullet comments.

For a moment, the entire Douluo Continent fell into utter silence once more, before erupting into an even greater uproar, like mountains calling and seas roaring!

Worthy indeed of the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking!

Not only could it broadcast in real time, it could even expose everyone's thoughts to the public!

This was simply a miracle!

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As Ning Fengzhi looked at the white-clad figure in the sky, the shock on his face gradually turned into a bitter smile.

"So it really is... that senior."

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin stared intently at the light screen, his tone carrying a trace of relief.

"Sect Master, our choice back then was the right one. Tang Hao truly kicked an immovable block of divine iron."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong chuckled, clearly taking pleasure in Tang Hao's misfortune.

"Interesting, truly interesting! Let Tang Hao be arrogant, let him act proud! Now look at him—he just received his reward, and the real owner has already come knocking. Let's see how he cleans this up!"

They had personally witnessed Tang Chen's unfathomable strength. A being who could effortlessly erase even deities was not someone a mere Tang Hao could provoke.

At the same time.

On the battlefield at Jialing Pass.

Tang San's gaze was completely drawn to the scene in the sky, his mind utterly blank.

"Father... how could this..."

He could not understand what was happening before his eyes.

Who was that White-clothed Figure?

Why could he make his father, whose strength had soared, cough up blood with a single glance?

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the woman in the blue dress.

A Yin?

The moment he heard that name, Tang San's heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and a strange sense of closeness welled up within him.

But he immediately recalled the Blue Silver Emperor who had been labeled an "evil soul beast" in the previous Golden Ranking review.

The woman in the footage had a gentle temperament and clear eyes. How did she resemble anything evil in the slightest?

Could it be that there was more to the previous Golden Ranking review?

The Shrek Members beside him also exploded into commotion.

"My god, Third Brother, th-that can't be your mother, can it?" Oscar stammered.

Ma Hongjun's eyes went wide. "But why is she with another man? And from the looks of it, Clear Sky Douluo seems unable to beat that guy!"

"!!!"
