Golden Ranking List Exposed! Tang Hao Deceived Ah Yin, Furina Is Angry!

The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils also revealed expressions of excitement.

Tang Hao was their idol, the legendary Clear Sky Douluo.

The images on the Golden Ranking List began to shift.

It was no longer static text, but began to play a series of video clips.

These were the "iconic moments" belonging to Tang Hao.

In the scene, it was a stormy night filled with wind and rain.

A young Tang Hao was covered in blood, cradling a newborn infant in his arms.

Opposite him were numerous Title Douluo led by the Martial Soul Hall Pope Qian Xunji.

A desperate situation.

A truly desperate situation.

Just when everyone thought Tang Hao was certain to die.

The gentle and beautiful Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin chose to sacrifice herself.

Amidst the sky-filling blue-gold light, Ah Yin's figure gradually dissipated, transforming into a scarlet spirit ring that settled onto Tang Hao.

"Ah Yin--!!!"

In the footage, Tang Hao roared toward the heavens in grief.

It was a heart-wrenching pain.

Immediately following that was the battle that shocked the world.

Tang Hao, having just advanced to a Title Douluo, fought three Martial Soul Hall Title Douluo alone.

Great Sumeru Hammer, Ring Detonation!

That hammer strike was earth-shattering, directly severely wounding the Pope Qian Xunji.

Seeing this scene.

On the ramparts of Jialing Pass, countless people had reddened eyes.

"It's too tragic."

"Clear Sky Douluo has had it so hard."

Ma Hongjun wiped away his tears, sniffing as he spoke.

"Those bastards from Martial Soul Hall have truly done every evil deed imaginable!"

Oscar also wore a look of indignation.

"To forcibly tear a couple apart and force Senior Ah Yin to sacrifice herself—with such deep hatred, it's no wonder Clear Sky Douluo is locked in an irreconcilable feud with Martial Soul Hall."

Tang San was even more tearful.

Watching his father fight through blood to protect him in the footage, the feelings of love and admiration in his heart reached their peak.

"Dad..."

"You have suffered."

"Your son swears that I will definitely destroy Martial Soul Hall and avenge you and Mom!"

At this moment, in the hearts of everyone, Tang Hao was a tragic hero, a towering father who stood against tyranny for the sake of his lover and child.

Even many people over in Skywater City were moved upon seeing this scene.

However.

The broadcast on the Sky Screen had not ended.

The scene shifted.

It was no longer that stormy battlefield.

Instead, it was a dark and damp cave.

The timeline seemed to be shortly after that battle.

Tang Hao was covered in bandages, sitting on a rock.

He was still cradling that infant in his arms.

But the expression on his face was no longer one of sorrow.

He was laughing.

He was laughing so hard his shoulders were trembling.

"Hehehe..."

"Hahahahaha!"

The laughter went from low to manic, echoing through the empty cave, making one's skin crawl.

The audience across the entire continent was stunned.

What... is going on?

Has he gone mad from excessive grief?

Immediately following this, Tang Hao in the projection stopped laughing.

He reached out a rough, large hand and gently stroked the sleeping infant's face.

In his eyes, a heart-chilling glint flickered.

He spoke.

Not to the infant, but to the void, talking to himself.

"Ah Yin, oh Ah Yin."

"You really are too foolish."

"Did you think I truly hadn't discovered the spies from Martial Soul Hall?"

This sentence exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

On the ramparts of Jialing Pass, Tang San's body stiffened violently, the tears on his face freezing in an instant.

Tang Hao in the projection continued.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sinister arc.

"I am the most outstanding genius of the Clear Sky Sect; how could my spiritual perception be anything but sharp?"

"Those few rats followed us for three days; how could I possibly not know?"

"But I couldn't say anything."

"Because I had been stuck at the bottleneck of level ninety for too long."

"My elder brother, Tang Xiao, had also reached level ninety."

"If I let him obtain his ninth soul ring first, the position of Sect Master would be his."

Tang Hao stood up and paced back and forth in the cave, his tone revealing a chilling, calculated calmness.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form."

"What a massive temptation that is."

"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to do it, as you did treat me with sincerity."

"But I was unwilling to remain beneath others!"

"So I intentionally led you around, intentionally revealed our tracks, and intentionally lured the people from Martial Soul Hall over."

"Only by forcing you into a desperate situation, only by letting you see the inevitable death of myself and the child."

"Would you willingly sacrifice yourself for me."

"Only then would you pour that entire hundred-thousand-year cultivation into my body without reservation."

Tang Hao in the projection clenched his fist tightly, feeling the surging power within his body, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

"This power... is truly magnificent."

"The youngest Title Douluo."

"The Clear Sky Douluo who possesses a hundred-thousand-year soul ring."

"From this day forward, the entire continent will sing my name."

"As for the sect?"

Tang Hao let out a disdainful scoff.

"Let them bear the wrath of Martial Soul Hall."

"That is a matter for the old man and Tang Xiao to worry about anyway."

"I only need to become stronger."

"That is enough."

The image froze on Tang Hao's face, which was filled with ambition and calculation.

Dead silence.

The entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly stillness.

Everyone had their mouths agape, feeling a chill shoot from the soles of their feet straight to their scalps.

Is this... the truth?

That infatuated lover praised by countless people.

That tragic hero who defied the world for his beloved.

Was actually a complete and utter schemer?

For the sake of a soul ring, for the sake of the position of Sect Master.

He did not hesitate to exploit his lover's trust, nor did he hesitate to push the entire sect into the Abyss.

"Pfft--!"

Atop the ramparts of Jialing Pass.

Tang San could no longer withstand this massive blow; a mouthful of blood sprayed out wildly, and his entire body collapsed backward.

"No... impossible..."

"This isn't real..."

"How... how could Dad be such a person?"

The rest of the Shrek Seven Devils were also stunned.

They looked at one another, seeing the terror and confusion in each other's eyes.

All this time, they had believed they were standing on the side of justice, resisting the tyranny of the Martial Soul Hall.

But now.

This so-called "justice" seemed to have become a colossal joke.

Outside Skywater City.

The real Tang Hao still maintained his posture of raising his hammer.

But his face, usually filled with vicissitudes and dominance, was now as pale as paper.

His body was trembling.

Not because of fear, but because his deepest secret had been laid bare without reservation.

"It's over."

This was the only thought in Tang Hao's mind.

Skywater City, City Lord Mansion.

An exquisite porcelain cup slammed heavily onto the tabletop, emitting a sharp clatter.

Tea splashed everywhere.

"Shameless!"

"Simply utterly shameless!"

Furina's small face flushed red with anger, her heterochromatic eyes filled with fury.

Although she enjoyed watching the fun and loved dramatic developments.

But this kind of script, where one traded his own wife's life for a future only to put on a show of deep affection in the end, was truly disgusting to the extreme.

It was like an opera that one originally thought was a poignant romance, only for the male lead to suddenly tear off his mask at the end and reveal that it was all a ruse to swindle the female lead's inheritance.
