Ning Mingyuan's Speculation, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect

After Su Mo and Bibi Dong left the VIP box, they each entered another one-on-one soul battle.

Their opponents' Soul Power was not much different from theirs, so there was no suspense in the outcome. Both won with complete victories once again.

Just like yesterday, when they left the Great Soul Arena, many tails secretly followed them.

And there were even more than yesterday.

But Su Mo turned a blind eye to it all. He still calmly accompanied Bibi Dong as they strolled leisurely through the streets.

"Xiao Mo, Chen Xin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has followed us too."

Not long after they began walking, Golden Crocodile Douluo's spiritual transmission sounded in Su Mo's mind.

Su Mo's gaze shifted slightly. He had not expected Chen Xin to come after them as well.

It seemed Ning Mingyuan of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was much like his son Ning Fengzhi. Both liked stirring up trouble, and he had actually disregarded his own safety by sending Chen Xin to follow him.

However, as long as the other party did not take the initiative to attack him, Su Mo could not be bothered to care.

Thus, Su Mo accompanied Bibi Dong through the streets for a full two hours, until the sky gradually darkened.

"Senior Sister, it's time for us to go back."

Su Mo looked at the energetic Bibi Dong beside him, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

No matter the world, women seemed to possess inexhaustible energy when it came to shopping.

"Ah..." Bibi Dong pouted slightly. "All right."

Clearly, she still wanted to keep strolling.

Soon, the two passed through the crowded main street and turned into a quiet, secluded alley.

Concealed by Golden Crocodile Douluo's spiritual power, the three silently melted into the night, as though they had vanished into thin air.

The tails behind them lost their target once again, including Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Although Chen Xin was a Titled Douluo with exceptionally sharp senses, the one he faced was Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had already reached the Half-Step Limit.

As long as Golden Crocodile Douluo did not wish to be discovered, Chen Xin had no way of finding him.

Half an hour later.

Inside a top-floor suite at a hotel owned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Mingyuan stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the night view of Heaven Dou City with a thoughtful expression.

At that moment, Chen Xin pushed open the door and entered, walking up behind Ning Mingyuan.

"Sect Master, I lost them. There should be a powerful expert protecting them, and his strength is very likely above mine."

"Oh?"

Ning Mingyuan turned around, his brows slightly furrowed as he fell into thought.

"Even you lost them. It seems their situation is almost exactly as I previously suspected.

Those two dared to expose their secrets so openly, so they must have someone backing them.

For even you to lose them, the person behind them must be at least a Titled Douluo above Rank 95, perhaps even stronger."

Chen Xin asked, "Should we continue investigating them?"

Ning Mingyuan shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he said,

"Not for now. Across the entire continent, the only forces openly known to have Titled Douluo are the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall.

Our Upper Three Sects have always stood together, and we know each other's circumstances fairly well.

Only Spirit Hall possesses the resources to have such a Titled Douluo protect them.

Therefore, Asura and the other one are most likely from Spirit Hall.

In our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only you and Gu Rong are Titled Douluo.

Spirit Hall has numerous Titled Douluo, and Qian Daoliu, that Limit Douluo, is stationed there. Its strength is far beyond ours.

The current Spirit Hall is not someone we can easily afford to offend."

"However..."

Ning Mingyuan paused here, turning back to look out at the night beyond the window.

"I believe the Clear Sky Sect will also be very interested in the secrets surrounding Asura and the other one. They should receive the news soon.

We may fear Spirit Hall, but that does not mean they will. After all, Tang Chen is backing them."

The Clear Sky Sect was far from Heaven Dou City, so naturally, it would receive the news slower than the forces near Heaven Dou City.

"Also, send someone to inform Xue Ye. He has also been gathering information about those two."

Many people had naturally witnessed Ning Mingyuan meeting Su Mo at the Great Soul Arena today, and the Heaven Dou Empire had always maintained close ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

That was why Xue Ye had specifically sent someone to ask Ning Mingyuan for information today.

Ning Mingyuan naturally understood Xue Ye's intentions. He merely wanted to recruit those two geniuses.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family currently had no high-level powerhouses to support it and urgently needed talented individuals to bolster its strength.

However, Xue Ye was destined to be disappointed.

"Yes, Sect Master." Chen Xin nodded and turned to leave.

Two days later.

Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, inside a VIP box on the top floor.

This box was in an excellent location, with a broad view overlooking the entire soul battle platform.

"Hao, are you truly going to challenge that Asura?"

The speaker was an elderly man, Tang Hao's father, Tang Wei. He was a Rank 96 Super Douluo and the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.

He sat on the sofa, his gaze fixed on Tang Hao across from him.

Tang Hao had a resolute face, ordinary features, and a burly build. His body was covered in powerful muscles, and he exuded an overbearing sense of strength.

The current Tang Hao showed none of the despondency he would have later. His face was filled only with arrogance and flamboyance.

However, Tang Hao indeed had the right to be arrogant.

First, he was only twenty-four years old, yet he had already reached Rank 58 Soul King. Such cultivation speed was considered outstanding across the entire continent.

Furthermore, Tang Chen now oversaw the Clear Sky Sect, which was at the height of its power and known as the number one sect under heaven.

Even their outer disciples carried a trace of pride while walking the streets, much less a core member like Tang Hao.

Since childhood, Tang Hao had always been the center of attention wherever he went. No one had ever dared show him disrespect, so it was only natural that he had developed such arrogance.

At that moment, Tang Hao snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

"Of course. I refuse to believe Asura can still avoid using his Martial Soul when facing the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul under heaven.

Besides, Father, don't you want the method for breaking the limit on Spirit Ring absorption?

I'll challenge him to a wager match later."

"Good. But mind your limits. According to Sect Master Ning, he is very likely from Spirit Hall."

Tang Wei offered a reminder.

The Upper Three Sects stood together. When they arrived in Heaven Dou City, Ning Mingyuan had already informed them of the news.

Tang Hao nodded, but a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes.

So what if it was Spirit Hall? His grandfather was a Limit Douluo!

Even if Asura truly was a genius of Spirit Hall, he would have to bow his head before the Clear Sky Hammer!

At that moment, the middle-aged man beside Tang Hao spoke. "Good luck, little brother Hao."

The man's features bore some resemblance to Tang Hao's, but he appeared steadier. He was Tang Hao's older brother, Tang Xiao.

He was fifteen years older than Tang Hao and was now a Rank 69 Soul Emperor, with considerable strength as well.

But clearly, his talent was far inferior to Tang Hao's.

At the same time, a blue-haired girl sat on the sofa, raising her fist to cheer Tang Hao on. "Go, Brother Hao!"

The girl was Tang Hao's younger sister, Tang Yuehua. She was fourteen years old, with bright eyes, white teeth, and a gentle temperament.

Standing together with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, she did not resemble their sister at all.

But unfortunately, although Tang Yuehua's Innate Soul Power had reached Rank 9 and she had awakened an Innate Domain, she could not embark on the true path of cultivation.

"Don't worry. Just watch how I beat him flat."

Tang Hao smiled at the two of them, his tone brimming with confidence.

Just then, a Clear Sky Sect disciple hurried into the VIP box and bowed as he reported,

"Reporting to Sect Master and the three young masters, Asura has arrived."

"Hmph, perfect timing. Father, I'll go meet him now."

Tang Hao immediately rose to his feet and strode toward the door of the VIP box.
