Tang Hao's Confession

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two days had gone by.

Too many things had happened over those two days.

The biggest news was that Clear Sky Douluo, the renowned figure of the Soul Master world, had been poisoned with a deadly toxin. Before long, he would become nothing more than a corpse, cut off from the world!

Today was the third day since Tang Hao had been poisoned. After tonight, Douluo Continent would lose Tang Hao forever.

At the same time, Cao Yan was preparing to leave for Holy Soul Village and give Tang Hao a swift end.

Inside the Seventh Dorm, Cao Yan was about to bid Xiao Wu farewell.

"Baby Xiao Wu, I need to leave Nuoding Academy for a while. While I'm not by your side, take good care of yourself, understand?" Cao Yan smiled as his palm gently stroked Xiao Wu's silky hair, carefully reminding her.

"Okay. Then hurry back. I'll miss you while you're gone." Xiao Wu nodded obediently. She believed that Cao Yan must have something important to do, so she chose to trust him.

In Xiao Wu's heart, Cao Yan was already her lover. Although they had not yet taken that final step, she believed that day was not far away.

"Silly girl, I'll be back to keep you company soon. Oh, and while I'm gone, if that Tang San dares to bother you, you don't need to hold back, understand?" After calmly meeting Xiao Wu's shimmering eyes for a long while, Cao Yan gently patted her fragrant shoulder and smiled.

"Mm, I won't let him bully me." Xiao Wu smiled sweetly and replied solemnly.

"Boss, are you leaving?" At that moment, Wang Sheng stepped forward as well, his face showing some reluctance. After all, he truly acknowledged Cao Yan as his boss.

"Hehe, silly boy, all feasts must come to an end. Besides, I'll be back. While I'm gone, help me take good care of Xiao Wu, understand?" Cao Yan glanced at Wang Sheng and smiled.

"Don't worry, Boss. Whoever dares bully Sister Xiao Wu, I'll be the first to cripple him." Wang Sheng thumped his chest, his expression full of fearlessness.

Seeing this, Cao Yan nodded in satisfaction.

After settling these matters, he finally left at an unhurried pace.

Once outside Nuoding Academy, Cao Yan followed the system's instructions directly toward Holy Soul Village. He moved at extreme speed, like rushing thunder.

Near the afternoon, Cao Yan finally arrived at Holy Soul Village.

He quickly found where Tang Hao lived, and contempt and disdain arose in his heart. Who would have thought that the mighty Clear Sky Douluo would live in such a place? It was truly astonishing.

"Hehe, Tang Hao, I'm here to take your dog life. Are you ready to die?" Cao Yan laughed loudly and slammed his palm against Tang Hao's wooden door. A tremendous crash rang out as the door instantly shattered, splinters flying everywhere.

Pushing his way inside, Cao Yan immediately saw Tang Hao lying on the floor. At this point, Tang Hao was already barely clinging to life. Even someone without Soul Power could kill him.

Tang Hao lay on the ground with hollow eyes. His lips had turned purple, and the thick black hair he had possessed just days ago had already gone white. A constant aura of death seeped from his body, making one's scalp tingle upon deeper thought.

"It's you... Why are you trying to harm me? I am Clear Sky Dou... Douluo." Upon seeing Cao Yan suddenly appear, Tang Hao's eyes filled with horror. He spoke in a trembling voice, foam mixed with blood constantly spilling from his mouth. He looked utterly miserable.

"Hehe, once you've been struck by a Cao Sect Hidden Weapon, don't even dream of surviving. Let me tell you, the poison contained in the Cao Sect's Soul Chasing Life Taking Yama's Post can seep deep into your marrow. Not to mention you—even if a god came, they would still die!" Cao Yan casually found a place to sit, speaking neither arrogantly nor humbly, every word sharp and forceful.

"Hehe, I never thought that I, Clear Sky Douluo, who had never met a worthy opponent in my life, would truly fall into the hands of a junior this time. I, Tang Hao, have nothing to say. I only hope that before I die, you can grant me one request. Can you?" Tang Hao gave a self-mocking laugh, his voice filled with pleading. It was difficult to imagine that Tang Hao had become like this.

"Hehe, Tang Hao, Tang Hao. You spent your life aloof and arrogant, looking down on almost everyone, yet today you still fell into my hands. Don't worry, I'll give you a swift end." With a cold laugh, killing intent filled Cao Yan's eyes, like an enormous cage enveloping Tang Hao.

"Young friend, when a man is about to die, his words are kind. I, Tang Hao, committed many wrongs in my life. Now that I am about to die, I only hope to make some small amends before the end. Please grant me this, young friend." Tang Hao gasped heavily. To demonstrate his sincerity, he even gathered the last trace of strength in his body and knelt before Cao Yan with utmost respect.

All men must die; some deaths weigh heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather!

Before his death, Tang Hao still had one regret in his heart that remained unfulfilled, and he had to fulfill it!

"Speak. I'll give you one minute. I don't like wasting words on the dead." Cao Yan nodded, his tone still cold.

"Thank you, young friend. When I was young, I wronged a girl. She was originally a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form. In order to obtain her soul ring and Soul Bone, I endured the scorn of the world and secretly loved her. I even deliberately exposed our whereabouts to lure the people of Spirit Hall here, so that she would willingly offer her soul ring to me. Her name was Ah..."

"You beast! You pig-and-dog-beneath bastard! You deserve to die!" Before Tang Hao could finish, Cao Yan could no longer bear to listen. He slapped Tang Hao across the face, sending him flying.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew who the girl Tang Hao spoke of was. She had to be Ah Yin. Ah Yin must have been beautiful and young back then, yet she had been deceived by an animal like Tang Hao.

"Tang Hao, you truly deserve to die." Cao Yan muttered in a low voice. He had never expected Tang Hao to be such a despicable man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Someone like that truly did not deserve to be human.

"I know. I am guilty, and I don't deserve Ah Yin's forgiveness. Young friend, I am about to die. Before I die, I want to remove my soul ring and return it to Ah Yin. I hid her Soul Bone in a cave. This is the map. Please accept it, young friend!" Sorrow filled Tang Hao's eyes as he crawled before Cao Yan and pleaded.

"You still have a bit of conscience left. Fine, I can help you." Cao Yan replied blandly.

At the same time, he felt somewhat expectant. As long as Ah Yin's soul ring was removed, she should be able to truly come back to life, right?

When that time came, Ah Yin could be properly cherished by him. It would truly be the best of both worlds.

"Thank you for granting my request, young friend." Tang Hao gratefully kowtowed, his eyes filled with determination. It was enough to show that he truly regretted his actions.

Ah Yin, in this life, Tang Hao owes you. I hope my death can bring you a little more happiness. Tang Hao silently said in his heart, facing death without fear!
