The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Ownership Sparks Conflict

Watching Tang Xiao walk out, Sword Douluo couldn't help but frown.

Why would Tang Xiao come to Shrek Academy?

Naturally, he had been invited by Tang Hao.

While Tang Hao was secretly protecting Tang San, he always felt a powerful presence watching him from the shadows. Fearing that he might not be able to hold his own if something were to happen, Tang Hao had asked Tang Yuehua, who was in Heaven Dou City, to send a message to his elder brother, Tang Xiao, asking him to come and assist.

Upon seeing that this was a request from her Hao-ge, Tang Yuehua did not dare to delay and immediately sent word to Tang Xiao.

Life for Tang Xiao at the Clear Sky Sect had not been easy lately. Ever since Tang Hao launched a sneak attack on Martial Soul Hall, the organization had come knocking to collect their debt. With the Second Elder forced to commit suicide and himself, as the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, forced to kowtow and apologize in Martial Soul City, his position as Sect Master had become precarious.

The Seventh Elder had always looked down on Tang Hao, and this incident only made him curse Tang Hao's ancestors down to the eighteenth generation—which, of course, were also his own ancestors. Because of the Second Elder's death, the disciples within the Clear Sky Sect also had many grievances against Tang Hao.

He had originally intended to defend his younger brother, but it only brought about a chorus of condemnation within the Clear Sky Sect. The authority of the sect had gradually shifted into the hands of the elders, leaving him, the Sect Master, as nothing more than a figurehead.

Just then, Tang Yuehua's letter arrived, stating that his nephew, Tang San, was a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. Tang Xiao had set off without a moment's hesitation.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin did not fear either Tang Hao or Tang Xiao individually, but if the two brothers joined forces, he found it troublesome.

"Senior, please show mercy regarding that hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast. Let today's matter be considered a favor our brothers owe you," Tang Xiao said.

"Tang Xiao, do you really think the favor of you two brothers is worth a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast?"

"Senior, if you say it is worth it, then it is. Furthermore, if we were to fight here, I cannot guarantee that the shockwaves of a Title Douluo battle wouldn't affect the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Tang Hao looked at Sword Douluo, his gaze cold and stern.

"Tang Hao, are you threatening me!"

"I wouldn't dare; I am merely offering a friendly reminder to you, Senior."

Tang Hao had indeed grasped Sword Douluo's weakness. Regarding Ning Rongrong's safety, Sword Douluo dared not gamble, nor was he willing to.

"Hmph, I will remember today's events." With that, Sword Douluo prepared to return to Shrek Academy to take Ning Rongrong away.

But just then, Tang Hao called out to stop him: "Senior, it is better for Miss Ning Rongrong to continue her studies at Shrek Academy. Besides, with my brother and me, two Title Douluo, protecting her, safety will certainly not be an issue."

Why was Tang Hao so insistent on keeping Ning Rongrong? Naturally, he wanted his son, Tang San, to befriend her, the better to bind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to his chariot in the fight against Martial Soul Hall.

Of course, Sword Douluo would certainly not agree, but Tang Hao believed that Ning Fengzhi would.

As a shrewd businessman, Ning Fengzhi always prioritized interests above all else. Now that Martial Soul Hall was powerful, only by uniting the Upper Three Sects could there be any room for maneuver; Ning Fengzhi would surely understand this logic.

Ning Rongrong was the junior most cherished by Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, but that did not necessarily mean she was the one most cherished by Ning Fengzhi. The reason Ning Fengzhi doted on Ning Rongrong was simply because he had many sons but only this one daughter, and she possessed the highest talent. If it came down to a choice between Ning Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tang Hao was absolutely certain that Ning Fengzhi would choose the sect without hesitation.

When Sword Douluo heard Tang Hao's words, he was furious: "Tang Hao, don't go too far."

"Senior, you wouldn't want anything to happen to Miss Ning Rongrong, would you?" Tang Hao said, looking at the enraged Sword Douluo.

"Tang Hao, you are truly something."

With that, Sword Douluo returned to Shrek Academy. He could not take Ning Rongrong away today, but there were some things he had to tell her.

Just as Sword Douluo flew over the sky of Shrek Academy, he saw Xiao Wu shaking her head, gnawing on a carrot, and occasionally pointing fingers at Tang San and Yu Xiaolong, who were in the middle of cultivation.

Seeing this scene, Sword Douluo couldn't help but mutter: "A beast that truly doesn't know what death is."

Seeing Sword Douluo arrive at Shrek Academy again, Ning Rongrong threw herself into his arms.

"Sword Grandpa, why are you back?"

"Isn't it because Sword Grandpa missed our Rongrong?"

Seeing Sword Douluo return, Flender stood respectfully to the side, while Xiao Wu let out a yelp of fright and ran off, faster than a rabbit.

No, wait, she was a rabbit by nature, and the ancestor of all rabbits at that.

As she ran, Xiao Wu patted her chest and said: "Phew, thank goodness, thank goodness Sister Xiao Wu ran fast, otherwise I would have been discovered by that Title Douluo."

"I have to say, this Title Douluo doesn't seem all that capable. He's come twice now and still hasn't discovered Sister Xiao Wu. It must be that I, Sister Xiao Wu, am blessed with great fortune."

Sword Douluo watched Xiao Wu scurrying away, then looked at Tang San in the distance and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Rongrong, just study with peace of mind at Shrek Academy this time. If anyone dares to bully you again, Sword Grandpa will vent your anger for you." As he spoke, Sword Douluo glanced at Flender.

That single glance made Flender drop to his knees with a thud.

"Sword Grandpa, don't worry. It was so hard to get out here; even if you told me to leave, I wouldn't."

"Also, Rongrong, stay away from that Tang San and that Xiao Wu, especially that Xiao Wu."

"Sword Grandpa, don't worry, I've remembered everything."

"Good, then Rongrong, study hard here. Sword Grandpa is leaving."

"Goodbye, Sword Grandpa."

"Goodbye, Rongrong."

Sword Douluo left Shrek Academy, burning his soul power and rushing toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with all his might.

Hiding in a corner of Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu saw that Sword Douluo had left and immediately felt confident again, shaking her rabbit head and walking out swaggeringly.

Outside Shrek Academy, Tang Xiao watched Xiao Wu's behavior and couldn't help but shake his head, saying to Tang Hao:

"Brother Hao, this hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast doesn't look like a good thing. It's not a good sign that Little San is getting so close to it."

"Brother, don't worry. I've been watching this hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast for six years; of course I know it's not a good thing. If Little San can't bring himself to do it when the time comes, I will do it myself."

Hearing Tang Hao's words, Tang Xiao nodded slightly.

But as Tang Xiao looked at the hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast Xiao Wu before him, he thought of Ah Yin, who was also a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast...

Ah Yin was so gentle, considerate, and understanding, while this Xiao Wu—bah, what kind of creature is this?

They were both hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beasts, so why was the gap between them so large?
