By the time Ye Mu returned to the Library in Spirit City, it was already late at night.
His plan to increase his Soul Power would have to wait until daylight.
For now, he would continue tempering his body and evolving his Martial Soul.
A powerful body was the key to bearing Spirit Rings. He absolutely could not be careless.
Many Soul Masters were unable to bear high-year Spirit Rings
because they did not value their physical fitness.
They only cared about raising their Soul Power as quickly as possible before hunting Spirit Rings.
In the eyes of many Soul Masters, Soul Power was what mattered.
Soul Power was the measure of strength!
After writing quite a few more poems and verses, Ye Mu used most of his remaining Soul Power for Martial Soul Evolution.
As Soul Power flowed in, a great deal of text appeared within the Wordless Heavenly Book.
[Previously, Tang Xiaochui and the others were about to participate in the Soul Master Tournament!] [The Soul Master Tournament was the most important turning point, as well as the beginning of war and conflict on the Douluo Continent.] [...In truth, Tang Xiaochui's special eyes had already seen through Beast King's true identity.] [Knowing full well that taking Beast King to Spirit City would be dangerous, he still resolutely chose to participate in the Soul Master Tournament for the sake of his teacher, even bringing Beast King along!] [If he truly cared for Beast King, how could he do such a thing?] [Tang Xiaochui's father had also long known Beast King's identity, yet he likewise did not step forward to stop it.] [In fact, all the signs pointed to one thing: Tang Xiaochui's father was carrying out a plan concerning Beast King's life. Just as he had once plotted against Beast King...]
Ye Mu had added some of his own opinions to the Storybook.
This point had been difficult to understand in the original work.
Whether it was Tang San or Tang Hao, their bizarre actions were impossible to comprehend.
They knew Ah Yin's identity and knew that wandering around near Qian Xunji with her would be dangerous.
Then why had he deliberately detoured near Qian Xunji while taking Ah Yin back to the sect?
It was truly difficult to explain if he had not done it on purpose.
And the reason he had kept Xiao Wu by Tang San's side was most likely part of a scheme as well.
What was he plotting?
Naturally, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!
He had Xiao Wu build deep feelings for Tang San from childhood.
Then, at the critical moment, he would have Xiao Wu sacrifice herself!
Because with Tang San's current abilities, it was absolutely impossible for him to absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
Only a sacrifice could grant Tang San a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
When Ye Mu had read the novel, he had vaguely felt this way.
Tang San and Tang Hao were both no good.
Xiao Wu was simply too foolish and too easily deceived.
Ah Yin, back then, had faced certain death and also loved Tang Hao deeply.
In the end, she had chosen to sacrifice herself as well.
More than half of Tang San and Xiao Wu's story had already been written, and there was not much left.
Ye Mu had originally wanted to finish it all at once, but judging by his current Soul Power, it did not seem sufficient, so he could only stop for now.
After finishing, he went to sleep and slept exceptionally soundly!
However, for some people, tonight was destined to be sleepless.
Xiao Wu had been staring at the Storybook, waiting for an update.
When it finally updated late at night, she nearly cheered.
She immediately began reading its contents.
Yet the later content made her entire body turn cold.
Tang San's father had actually seen through her identity long ago.
He had known from the very first time she appeared beside Tang San.
The reason he had not killed her was to nurture her feelings for Tang San, ultimately making her sacrifice herself?
If it had only been these things, she would not have believed them so easily.
But the Storybook mentioned someone else.
Tang San's mother!
It seemed Tang San's mother had also been a Spirit Beast, one that had taken human form from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast and ultimately sacrificed herself for Tang San's father.
"Could it... could it really be like this?"
Xiao Wu's head buzzed. She found it hard to believe the content that came later in the Storybook.
She also suddenly realized that she truly had developed unusual feelings for Tang San.
They were not merely the feelings of siblings, but something else.
Was this the result Tang San's father wanted to see?
For no reason, she felt as though she were somewhat ridiculous and pathetic.
She had treated Tang San with all her heart, only to receive the outcome of sacrificing herself?
Although the Storybook did not say that she would sacrifice herself, unease had already arisen in her heart.
Especially the Soul Master Tournament!
There, her identity would be exposed, leading to her being hunted down.
In the end, she really might choose to sacrifice herself.
Tang San was so calculating!
That made sense. After all, he was a transmigrator!
She suddenly understood something: many things about Tang San were beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
For example, the Silent Sleeve Arrow!
That Hidden Weapon was highly sophisticated and intricate. It was not something an ordinary child could possibly create.
Yet Tang San could make it, and he had made it while still young.
In other words, an adult soul was hidden within his childish body.
Just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine.
He was clearly an adult soul, yet he still pretended to be innocent?
Looking at Tang San sleeping soundly beside her, Xiao Wu clenched her fists.
Perhaps she needed to find a way to ask him some questions and verify whether the Storybook's contents were true.
As she thought, she unconsciously shifted a little farther away.
Over at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's expression kept changing after she read the later content.
A Titled Douluo who used a hammer easily made one think of the Clear Sky Sect.
And which Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect had once clashed fiercely with Spirit Hall?
Tang Hao was definitely one of them!
Recalling the events of that year, she had only read some reports, but she roughly understood what had happened.
Tang Hao's wife had indeed been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast that had taken human form!
"Interesting. He really is a scumbag!"
Bibi Dong sneered coldly, unable to stop herself from thinking of Yu Xiaogang.
According to the Storybook, around the time of the Soul Master Tournament, Yu Xiaogang would come to ask her about the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls.
It was all for his disciple!
He had no regard whatsoever for the fact that the other party was Spirit Hall's enemy!
Nor had he ever considered her circumstances.
He truly was a scumbag, one who considered only himself.
Bibi Dong was so angry her face turned green. She reread the Storybook's contents.
Perhaps she should organize these stories properly. Or perhaps she should find Yu Xiaogang and see whether he had really taken on a disciple.
If he truly had taken on a disciple, then that disciple should be Tang Hao's son!
Being intelligent, she easily understood the crucial connection.
"First, I'll claim the comment reward."
No sooner said than done, she immediately began writing a comment.
Spider Emperor Douluo: 'Beast King is pitiful, tragic, and lamentable. She treated Tang Xiaochui with all her heart, only to be toyed with by that scumbag.'
Perhaps she had written such content for no apparent reason because it reminded her of her own experiences.
[Thank you for your comment. Reward: all Spirit Ring year limits increased by three thousand years, and the Rakshasa God's malevolent influence reduced by thirty percent!]
The golden notification box made Bibi Dong's expression change drastically.
There was nothing much to say about all Spirit Ring year limits increasing by three thousand years.
But the Book Review Section's rewards could even reduce the Rakshasa God's malevolent influence?
For all these years, she had been suppressing the backlash of the Nine Trials of the Rakshasa God. It had already been extremely arduous.
And now, the Book Review Section's reward was actually this outrageous!
As she pondered this, she suddenly saw several names appear beneath the Storybook's Book Review Section.
Pink Rabbit?
Glazed Baby, Little Fox, Nether Cat, Irritable Fire Dragon, Angel Without Parents...
What the hell were these names?
