Rivals in Love
At the same time, a young man slowly and unhurriedly walked out of the darkness opposite him.
The young man looked to be no more than twenty years old, and was extremely handsome. He wore a bright, fiery red fitted robe, had long hair that cascaded down his back, pure black eyes without a trace of impurity, a high and straight nose, and impeccable features. Any woman who saw him would be momentarily stunned.
The golden-blue silhouette was no exception.
Tang Hao and his son Tang Xiao were also lost in thought, but not because of the young man; rather, they were distracted by the beautiful woman in gold and blue.
As they got closer, they finally saw each other's faces clearly.
She wore light blue high heels, and her legs were perfectly sculpted. From her thighs up, she wore a long blue and gold skirt with a high slit, but because she was wearing safety shorts, it didn't look revealing.
As you ascend, following the rising peaks, you come to a face of otherworldly beauty. Her azure eyes are as flawless as blue crystals, and golden ribbons curl around the hem of her skirt, while a faint fragrance wafts through the air.
This is the kind of woman you'd want to marry.
At first glance, Haozi two brothers fell in love with each other, so much so that they stood frozen in place, gazing at each other intently, with Tang Hao even letting out a soft "Oh!"
But the woman didn't look at them immediately; instead, she looked at the young man who had suddenly subdued the powerful Demon Bear.
"Can we spare its life?" A heavenly voice echoed through the forest.
After a brief moment of distraction, the woman stepped onto the golden vines and slowly landed beside the child. Her fair and translucent skin glowed softly in the moonlight.
She gently stroked the child's head, and with a flash of golden light, the child's injuries healed at a visible speed.
This scene made the Haozi brothers even more infatuated. The two looked at the woman with rapt attention, and even the children and the young man who subdued the powerful Demon Bear were subconsciously ignored.
However, this obsession did not last long, and what the two brothers dreaded most happened.
"I don't need its Soul Ring, so I have no intention of killing it." As he spoke, the young man raised his hand and a dozen or so cyan rays flew out of the Great Demon Bear's body. Only then did the woman realize that they were cyan steel needles engraved with strange runes.
The young man was Ye Qinghe. Although he was a little late, fortunately, his Second Martial Soul could be activated remotely, so he ultimately subdued the Mighty Demon Bear before Ah Yin.
After his Second Martial Soul evolved into the Qingming Needle, it changed. First, the number of needles increased from a fixed thirteen to eighteen. Furthermore, for each additional Soul Ring he added, he could control nine more Qingming Needle.
In other words, once he becomes a god and acquires his tenth Soul Ring, he will be able to control 108 needles simultaneously.
At the same time, the First Soul Ring of the Qingming Needle also changed after 100,000 years.
While retaining the original Flying Needle Soul Skill, it adds a Giant Needle Technique Soul Skill, which can fuse all the flying needles into a single giant needle, increasing the power of the Qingming Needle exponentially.
"Thank you. My Ah Yin, the Yin from Blue Silver Grass." Ah Yin smiled slightly, raised her hand and released another golden light wave, which landed on the Mighty Demon Bear. The Mighty Demon Bear's originally riddled body was also restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ye Qinghe saw the golden light and nodded to himself. No wonder Tang Xiao, who had reached the Soul Douluo in the original story, did not see through Ah Yin's identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast.
With the Blue Silver Domain as cover, it's practically impossible for anyone below the Titled Douluo to see through it.
After recovering, the Mighty Demon Bear was no longer as ferocious as before, but instead became very docile. After Ah Yin nodded in acknowledgment, it turned and disappeared into the jungle.
"Just call me Ye Fan." Ye Qinghe smiled slightly, put away the Qingming Needle, walked to the child who had been terrified earlier, bent down, and gently patted his head.
At this moment, Ah Yin was once again captivated by Ye Qinghe's gentle gesture.
The two smiled at each other, and at that moment, in the eyes of onlookers, they looked like a perfect couple, giving people a stunning feeling.
Of course, the Haozi Brothers would never admit it.
Their Clear Sky Sect is far more domineering than the Strength Clan.
The principle of the Strength Clan is that if they see a woman they like, they should snatch her. In the original story Tai Long saw Xiao Wu doing just that, which led to a conflict with Tang San. He beat the younger one, then the older one appeared. After beating the older one, an even older one appeared.
The same applies to the Clear Sky Sect.
At this moment, neither Tang Hao nor Tang Xiao had any other thoughts in their hearts, and the safety of that child was insignificant.
All she could think about was getting this Xiao Bai named Ye Fan out of here, as far away as possible, and getting him completely away from this girl Ah Yin.
As for what happens next, Tang Xiao's idea is for the two to compete fairly.
Tang Hao's thoughts were even more self-centered. "I am the next successor of the Clear Sky Sect. I am the younger brother. From childhood to adulthood, my elder Tang Xiao has always given in to me. I suppose this woman is the same. I'm determined to have this woman Ah Yin."
Having made up their minds, the two pretended to rescue the person and quickly walked over.
"Girls, are you alright?"
Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Tang Hao couldn't help but shout.
Even before arriving, Ah Yin had sensed the Haozi Brothers through the Blue Silver Domain.
Compared to Ye Qinghe, the Haozi Brothers are incomparable in both appearance and temperament.
In addition, Ye Qinghe's previous actions of saving the child and letting the Soul Saint go greatly won over Ah Yin's favor.
Therefore, her attitude towards the Haozi Brothers was somewhat colder than towards Ye Qinghe: "It's alright, thanks to Ye Fan, the child was saved."
"So it's Brother Ye Fan. I am Tang Hao, my Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, and I am a level 78 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint."
"My name is Tang Xiao, my Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, and I am a level 84 Power Attack System Battle Soul Douluo."
Eight Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and three black, and two yellow, two purple, and four black—suddenly rose from beneath the feet of Haozi two brothers, who carried the Clear Sky Hammer and introduced themselves.
The two men's gazes toward Ye Qinghe seemed to carry a hint of warning.
Their meaning is already self-evident.
That is to make Ye Qinghe back down and stay away from Ah Yin.
"So it's the renowned Clear Sky Twin Stars. I am Ye Qinghe, my Martial Soul Qingming Needle, and I am a level 73 Power Attack System Battle Soul Saint."
Ye Qinghe smiled slightly, as if he hadn't heard the warning from the two people. Seven Soul Ring, disguised by the Phoenix Fire (two yellow, two purple, and three black), rose from his feet, and eighteen Qingming Needle stood upright around his body, rotating around him.
Level 73? Are you kidding me? So young!
The Haozi Brothers, who had originally intended to threaten Ye Qinghe, nearly stumbled.
Tang Hao asked incredulously, "How old are you?"
"Twenty-five years old." Ye Qinghe deliberately added ten years to his age; in reality, he was still a few months shy of sixteen.
A twenty-five-year-old Soul Saint?
The Haozi brothers gasped in shock.
