At this moment.
The women all seemed to realize something.
After all, the reputation of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo, was quite resounding.
Except for Xiao Wu, the others had all heard of him to some degree.
The youngest Title Douluo on the continent, after all.
For such an iconic figure, it was hard not to have heard of him while navigating the world of soul masters.
"Tang Hao? Tang San is his son?"
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered uncertainly; it seemed her previous suspicions had come true.
She knew full well that Tang Hao had fathered a child with that transformed soul beast back then, and that child was undoubtedly this Tang San.
"Tang San!!"
Muttering the name twice, Bibi Dong's gaze turned instantly cold, filled with killing intent.
In a sense, Tang Hao had once done her a favor, which was why she hadn't pursued him too aggressively over the years, but now...
If she had harbored doubts about Su Ye's words before, she now believed them a few points more.
Given the grievances between the father-son duo and Martial Soul Hall, it would be a miracle if they left her with any good outcome once they gained power.
However, she soon thought of another issue and muttered to herself, "Calculating the time, that Tang San should only be in his teens right now. Can he really become a god in just over a decade, by his early twenties?"
As a successor to a deity, she felt she had the right to speak on this matter; becoming a god was not that easy.
It had been over ten years since she received her inheritance, and she estimated it would still take several more years to achieve godhood.
That would be nearly twenty years in total, and she had already possessed considerable strength when she first received the inheritance.
If even a top-tier genius like herself, with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, required so much time, on what grounds could Tang San do it?
Could it be that, like Qian Renxue, he also possessed innate super soul power?
The killing intent in Bibi Dong's eyes faded, and she fell into silence.
At this moment, she believed the claim about the god behind Tang San a few points more.
"If that is the case, it seems I truly cannot act rashly. Perhaps..."
Suddenly, she thought of Su Ye, who was also a transmigrator.
That fellow seemed to have obtained some sort of cheat, and he didn't hold Tang San in any regard at all; perhaps she could start from that angle.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had listened to Nana and hadn't taken any violent measures against Su Ye, otherwise...
Being targeted by two transmigrators—even she, Bibi Dong, felt that life was difficult!
"Tang Hao!!!"
In the Crown Prince's Residence, upon seeing this name, Qian Renxue suddenly erupted with a chilling, murderous aura that caused the tables and chairs in the room to rattle.
She was all too familiar with the name Tang Hao; he was the man who had killed her father.
"I never expected that Tang San would be your son. As expected, no one with the surname Tang is any good; they all deserve to die!"
After a moment, having calmed down slightly, Qian Renxue, like Bibi Dong, fell into a state of silent conflict.
She definitely had to kill him, but the question was how?
Tang Hao's strength was not to be trifled with, and her current manpower alone was insufficient.
Moreover, the possibility of a god behind Tang San was a factor she had to consider.
"Sigh."
Qian Renxue let out a soft sigh, realizing for the first time that the identity she took such pride in didn't seem to be all that useful.
The enemy was clearly laid out before her, yet she had no way to deal with him.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, and she hurriedly navigated the page to the forum, preparing to post a new thread.
She might be helpless, but Su Ye should have a way, right?
After all, his tone between the lines seemed quite relaxed, as if he didn't take Tang San seriously at all.
No sooner said than done; before long, a post inquiring about how to nip Tang San in the bud was fresh off the press.
After posting, Qian Renxue breathed a slight sigh of relief, then noticed that many new posts had popped up; a quick glance showed they were basically all related to Tang San.
There were those like her, seeking methods to eliminate him.
There were those asking how Tang San could become a god.
Others were asking what the "Martial Arts World" was, or if Tang San was still the same Tang San as before.
Heh, there were actually people concerned about that? What kind of logic was that?
Qian Renxue gave a disdainful smile, then closed the diary, her mind turning to the matters ahead.
Whether or not to usurp the throne was no longer important; what mattered was Tang San.
No, I must go talk to Su Ye again tomorrow; I absolutely have to pull him over to my side.
Su Ye was naturally unaware of the chaos on the forums and the thoughts of the various women, nor did he have the time to care.
Right now, he was eagerly counting down the time, wondering what rewards the System would give him this time.
Even though his cheat was already quite significant, who would ever complain about having too many cheats?
He wished he could become a god tomorrow and transcend the universe the day after.
However, that was clearly unrealistic. Yesterday was the first day of updating the diary, so the rewards were exceptionally generous, but today...
[Ding! Now calculating yesterday's rewards!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: 999 Gold Soul Coins, a crate of Happy Water, a bottle of Itching Powder, a set of high-quality men's clothing...]
"It's here, it's here!"
Su Ye felt these last few minutes were incredibly long, a feeling of every second dragging on like a year.
Finally, the system notification sounded, and he immediately shuddered, but when his gaze fell upon the list, his face instantly collapsed.
What the hell is all this?
Gold Soul Coins, Itching Powder, Happy Water, and a set of clothes—there wasn't a single thing that could improve his strength. He had wasted his anticipation.
"Sigh, I really shouldn't have held any expectations for these daily updates."
Su Ye shook his head in disappointment. Diary updates could stack, so if he wanted another big explosion of rewards, he would likely have to wait until a full month or a full year had passed.
Therefore, the importance of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well became more prominent; if he wanted to rapidly improve his strength in a short time, he could only rely on that place.
Thoughts surged through Su Ye's mind, and he decided not to waste any more time with Dugu Yan; he would lay his cards on the table tomorrow.
With the power of the True Explanation of Pills, solving the Dugu family's martial soul problem would be effortless for him.
There was no need to sneak around or live in fear just for a few medicinal herbs.
By laying his cards on the table, he would have Dugu Bo to protect him, making both gathering herbs and refining pills go smoothly. Plus, he would get a free bodyguard out of the deal—how cost-effective.
Before, he had wanted to do things quietly, mainly fearing that the old poison master wouldn't believe him and might just kill him for discovering his family's secret.
If he were to log off like that, it would be too unjust.
But the situation was different now. Since Dugu Yan... well, you know?
When the time came, he would just reveal a little bit in his diary, and she would be begging to come find him.
The situation was completely different.
"Hmm." Su Ye pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and feeling that there were no issues, he immediately decided to do just that.
Time flew by!
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Su Ye stopped his cultivation, got up to wash, and then decisively headed out.
News of yesterday's battle had spread quickly, and Su Ye was now a minor celebrity in the academy. He drew many looks as he walked, and after asking around, he easily found where Dugu Yan lived.
"Eh, Su Ye?"
