Neuvillette: Tang Hao and his son are hypocrites to the extreme! Judge the sins!

It's so beneath contempt.

Bing Di and Xue Di, sitting across from Furina, looked even more displeased.

As Soul Beasts, the things they hated most were deception and betrayal.

Especially since Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, effectively one of their own.

"Humans, as expected, are mostly fickle and heartless creatures."

Bing Di gritted her teeth, cold light flickering in her emerald eyes.

"If this were in the Far North, such a male would have long been frozen into ice shards by me and tossed into the icy sea to feed the fish."

Although Xue Di did not speak, the plummeting temperature in the surrounding air was enough to illustrate her current mood.

Even the usually gentle Bi Ji wore a look of shock and disbelief.

She covered her mouth, her brows tightly locked.

"How could there be such a person..."

"Sister Ah Yin didn't even want her own life for his sake, even sacrificing her own soul."

"How could he... how could he scheme all of this behind her back?"

Neuvillette sat quietly at the head of the table.

He still held his cup of tea, his gaze passing through the window toward the direction outside the city.

He was not surprised by this outcome.

As an existence who held the authority of judgment, he had witnessed too much of the ugliness of human nature.

In his view, Tang Hao's actions were merely an extreme manifestation of human greed and selfishness.

"It is not just Tang Hao."

Neuvillette set down his teacup, his tone flat.

"That child named Tang San, although he appears shocked right now."

"Deep down, he carries the same blood as his father."

"These two father and son are, in essence, no different."

"They are both people who would sacrifice everything to achieve their goals."

Furina leaned in, pouting as she said:

"Neuvillette, are we just going to watch?"

"That guy is right outside the city; I feel like going out there and giving him a sword strike myself!"

Neuvillette glanced at her and shook his head gently.

"There is no need to dirty your hands."

"Judgment will descend on its own."

"Besides, there are others right now who want to kill him even more than we do."

Star Dou Forest, core area.

The water of the Lake of Life churned violently, as if it were boiling.

A terrifying dragon might surged from the bottom of the lake, shocking the surrounding ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts into trembling and prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

Silver light flickered.

Gu Yuena's figure appeared above the lake.

In her purple eyes, a tangible rage burned.

"Tang Hao!"

A sharp shout shattered the clouds across the sky.

As the Lord of Soul Beasts, she could not tolerate her subjects being toyed with and deceived by humans in such a way.

Especially the Blue Silver Empress; she was the sovereign of the plant-type, possessing an incredibly noble bloodline.

To think she was treated as a tool for advancement by a human!

"My Lord!"

Several massive figures rushed out from the depths of the forest.

It was Xiong Jun, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and the other fierce beasts who had remained behind.

They had also seen the images on the Sky Screen, and each of them was red-eyed with rage, radiating murderous intent.

"My Lord, please give the order!"

"I, old bear, will head to Skywater City right now and tear that Tang Hao into pieces!"

Xiong Jun brandished his massive Dark Gold Terrorclaw, snapping several towering trees nearby in half.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in her heart.

She looked at the blue figure on the Sky Screen, standing in confrontation with him.

That was Shui Bing'er.

Although she was a human, at this very moment, she stood on the opposite side of Tang Hao.

"Don't be hasty."

Although Gu Yuena's voice had returned to a calm state, it still carried a chilling edge.

"Di Tian and Bi Ji are both in Skywater City."

"If that little girl from Skywater City can kill Tang Hao, it can be considered as avenging Ah Yin."

"If she cannot kill him..."

Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, her murderous intent fully exposed.

"Then we in the Star Dou Forest will take over."

"No matter what, Tang Hao must die."

"That Tang San won't be able to escape either."

Outside Skywater City.

The atmosphere was heavy to the extreme.

Tang Hao's face, which had turned pale because his secrets were exposed, suddenly became flushed.

Because the rewards from the Sky Screen had arrived.

[Golden Ranking List 17th place, Tang Hao, rewards issued!]

[Reward 1: Repair all hidden injuries in the body, completely eliminate the side effects of "Ring Detonation", and perfectly restore the Clear Sky Avatar!]

[Reward 2: Soul Power Level increased by one, to level 98!]

[Reward 3: Three God-Given Soul Rings (can ignore age limits, automatically adapt to the best attributes)!]

Three golden lights descended from the sky, directly enveloping Tang Hao's body.

The dilapidated meridians within his body were instantly reconnected under the nourishment of the golden light.

The hidden dangers left behind by the excessive use of the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Detonation also vanished into thin air at this moment.

Power.

Unprecedented power flooded his entire body.

Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand tightly.

The hammer body, which had been somewhat dim, now erupted with a brilliant black light.

The handle, which was originally only the thickness of a bowl, instantly expanded, and the patterns on it became clearer and more ancient.

What made him even more ecstatic was the three golden orbs of light emitting strange fluctuations in his hand.

God-Given Soul Rings!

These were legendary treasures that only those chosen by the gods could obtain.

"Hahahaha!"

Tang Hao looked up to the sky and laughed.

The laughter was wild, carrying a sense of relief from a narrow escape, and even more so, an extreme sense of arrogance.

The panic and shame from just a moment ago were instantly cast to the back of his mind in the face of tangible power.

Reputation?

That was worth nothing!

As long as he had power, who would dare to gossip in front of him?

As long as he became a god, who would dare to bring up this dark history?

"Heaven will not let me, Tang Hao, perish!"

"Neuvillette, do you see this?"

"This is the will of heaven!"

"Even the heavens are helping me!"

Tang Hao was brimming with confidence at this moment.

Level 98!

Coupled with the restored Clear Sky Avatar and these three God-Given Soul Rings.

He even felt that he could challenge Qian Daoliu right now!

Tang Hao lowered his head, looking at Shui Bing'er, who was hovering in mid-air not far away, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

"Little girl."

"I gave you a chance just now."

"Since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Even if you are a disciple of Neuvillette, today I will let you know what true power is!"

The Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Hao's hand was raised high.

This time, without the burden of his hidden injuries, his momentum was more than twice as strong as before.

The surrounding space groaned under the weight of this terrifying pressure, emitting creaking sounds as if it could no longer bear the strain.

Facing the surging strength of Tang Hao, there was no expression on Shui Bing'er's face.

There was neither fear nor panic.

She simply watched the laughing Tang Hao quietly, as if she were looking at a clown.

"Are you done laughing?"

Her cold, clear voice pierced through Tang Hao's violent aura, spreading clearly across the entire field.

"I gave you an inch, and you really think you're someone important."

"An improvement gained through external forces is, in the end, nothing but Kyōka Suigetsu."

Shui Bing'er slowly raised her right hand.

The phantom of the Ice Phoenix behind her let out a resonant cry.

The originally azure sky instantly turned into a deathly, pale white.

An indescribable chill erupted instantly, centered on Shui Bing'er.

This was no ordinary cold.

It was an ultimate concept that seemed to freeze even thoughts and time itself.

"Ninth Soul Skill."

Shui Bing'er parted her red lips slightly, uttering four words.

"Absolute Zero."
