Blue Tyrant Academy (3) (Revised)

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San cried out.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with hatred.

This hatred was directed not only at the two unfathomable Black Robe Guards, but also at Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou Crown Prince with a Smiling Dagger, and that handsome youth who was Birds of a Feather with him.

Flender and the others were also shocked.

As the dean of Shrek Academy, with Xiao Wu being a student of Shrek Academy, Flender naturally stepped forward without hesitation. "What does Your Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?"

Zhao Wuji cracked his knuckles, seemingly ready for a major fight.

Yu Xiaogang frowned tightly as he stared directly at the Crown Prince.

Ning Rongrong was completely bewildered, but her intuition told her that there had to be a reason for this. Otherwise, why did the two Black Robe Guards not seize her, Zhu Zhuqing, or the sensitive-status Dai Mubai, and instead seize Xiao Wu?

She hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. "Everyone, don't be like this. We can talk this out. Senior Brother would never attack Xiao Wu without reason, right, Senior Brother?"

"Even if there is a reason, you can't treat her like this!"

"We kneel to heaven, kneel to earth, and kneel to our parents!"

"How can you humiliate Soul Masters like us this way?"

Tang San had deep feelings for Xiao Wu and had long regarded her as his Concubine. Seeing his Concubine suffer such humiliation, he was already burning with rage.

Still, what he said made sense.

Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others all nodded.

But to be honest, Qian Renxue was also bewildered.

She knew Tang San was Tang Hao's son.

She knew Ning Rongrong was a bargaining chip in her hand.

But she truly had never considered why Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo would seize a little girl, much less capture her in such a humiliating manner.

Was it to provoke Tang San?

But her father had been killed by her mother. Tang San's father, Tang Hao, could only be considered an accomplice. Besides, every matter had to be judged on its own merits. If her father had not led people to hunt Tang Hao's wife back then, Tang Hao would not have accepted the sacrifice of his 100,000-Year Transformed Spirit Beast wife, nor would he have used the Great Sumeru Hammer to grievously wound her father. What was more, even after losing his wife, Tang Hao had remained restrained. If it had been her, if someone had killed her husband, she would fight that person to the death. No matter what background that person had, she would kill them first and ask questions later. She would never hold back!

Tang Hao had left her father alive. She really could not find fault with that!

So, she only needed to be wary of Tang San.

Moreover, Tang San was Ye Qingcang's prey.

She and Ye Qingcang were friends—friends who could support one another all the way to the God Realm. Ye Qingcang and Tang San had a conflict of interests, so no matter how outstanding Tang San appeared, she would never feel regret at losing such talent. So long as Tang San did not threaten her plans, she would not even bother acknowledging him, because he was Ye Qingcang's prey.

It was precisely because of this that she was completely confused.

She could not understand what madness had possessed Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.

But before Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo could explain, Ye Qingcang, who held a Chess Piece in his hand without having placed it on the board, spoke first. "She isn't human."

Xiao Wu trembled all over.

If she had still held the faintest shred of hope after being captured by the two Black Robe Guards, then having her identity exposed outright by this youth, who seemed both divine and demonic, sent her heart plunging into the abyss.

Qian Renxue was also stunned for a moment.

But in less than a second, she understood what Ye Qingcang meant.

Her eyes gleamed as she watched Ye Qingcang calmly place a Black Chess Piece onto the board. Taking a deep breath, she picked up a White Chess Piece from its box and placed it on the board as well. She knew she could not match Ye Qingcang's calm, waterlike state of mind, but she still forcibly reined in her emotions, doing her best not to let her lapse affect the others. "You mean...?"

"Yes, that's right." Ye Qingcang knew what Qian Renxue was thinking. He picked up a Chess Piece and held it in his hand without placing it down immediately. As he rubbed the piece between his fingers, he turned to look at Xiao Wu's ashen face, then at the Shrek group, whose expressions varied—some understood, some did not, and all had their own thoughts—and revealed the truth. "This Little Rabbit has remarkable courage. As a 100,000 Year Soul Beast, especially one that has taken human form, she should have obediently cultivated in the forest until level seventy. Only upon reaching the mature stage above level seventy would no one be able to see through her true identity—not even a Titled Douluo. Yet she dared to come out and mingle with others at just over level thirty. I have to say, this Little Rabbit has the greatest nerve I've ever seen!"

"What?!"

Flender and the others' pupils contracted.

When they looked at Xiao Wu again, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Ning Rongrong even covered her little mouth.

Trying to stifle her cry of shock.

Zhu Zhuqing also instinctively covered her mouth.

It was the refinement ingrained in both her and Ning Rongrong.

But compared to them, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others all looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Their mouths hung wide open.

And from those mouths came cries of astonishment mixed with doubt. "Huh???"

"However, I don't recommend killing her..." Ye Qingcang ignored the Shrek group's doubts. Even as cries of surprise filled the carriage, he turned back and placed the Chess Piece onto the board, dropping one bombshell after another.

"Because she is prey someone else chose long ago."

"If she were unclaimed, there would be no issue with killing her. A 100,000-Year Spirit Ring and a 100,000-Year Soul Bone—perhaps you have no use for them, but using them to win over people who lack Soul Bones would work every time."

"Unfortunately, when she was at her weakest, she had the worst luck of encountering a Titled Douluo—Tang Hao, the father of this Tang San."

"The renowned Hao Tian Douluo."

"She is the Ninth Soul Ring Tang Hao chose for his son, Tang San. Tang Hao himself possesses a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring, so he understands very well how powerful one is. Looking across the present age, there are very few Titled Douluo who possess 100,000-Year Spirit Rings. Tang Hao counts as one, Bibidong counts as one, Golden Crocodile Douluo counts as one, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall counts as one, Bo Saixi counts as one, and the remaining one is the Slaughter King. Of them, three are rank ninety-nine and two are rank ninety-eight. Tang Hao is the weakest, at rank ninety-six—and an injured rank ninety-six at that. Tang Hao hopes his son will surpass him, so a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring is indispensable."

"If you kill her, you will be making an enemy of Tang Hao."

"Tang Hao is all alone now."

"If you drive him into a corner, he may kill you."

"So I advise you not to kill her. But if you can use this 100,000-Year Spirit Ring and 100,000-Year Soul Bone to hire Titled Douluo no weaker than Tang Hao, that would work too. The problem is, what would you gain from it?"

"You would gain nothing and stir up a whole mess of trouble."

Ye Qingcang laid everything out with crystal clarity.

It made Xiao Wu let out a breath of relief.

But she quickly realized something was wrong.

What did he mean, prey someone else had chosen?

Tang San's father was the renowned Hao Tian Douluo?

How had she not known?

Could it be that Tang Hao had seen through her true form long ago, and the reason he had not intervened was so Tang San could effortlessly obtain her Spirit Ring and Soul Bone?

That... can't be possible... can it?

Facing Xiao Wu's suspicious gaze, Tang San helplessly waved his hands, indicating that he had no such intentions. He also believed the youth's assessment, then cast a suspicious look at Yu Xiaogang. His intuition told him that Yu Xiaogang definitely knew his father's true identity.

Why had Yu Xiaogang not told him?

Could it be that he had some other scheme against him?

The moment suspicion was born, a conviction was only a matter of time!

"Do you need her?" Qian Renxue knew that a set of Angel God Equipment awaited her inheritance in the Worship Hall, so she did not need any Soul Bones. As for a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring, for God Trial Takers like herself and Ye Qingcang, they only needed to complete certain tasks to raise the age of their Spirit Rings to 100,000 years. Xiao Wu's 100,000-Year Spirit Ring and 100,000-Year Soul Bone were merely high-grade reserve resources to the two of them. If her current Soul Power rank had reached sixty, she would have acted without hesitation. As for the 100,000-Year Soul Bone, she did not know whether Ye Qingcang had Asura God Armor, which was why she asked.

"I've just reached level forty. I happen to need a Spirit Ring."

"As for the Soul Bone, forget it. My own bones are the best bones."

"That 100,000-Year Soul Bone is yours."

"Give it to someone who doesn't have a Soul Bone."

"I'll bear the responsibility, since I'll be the one killing her."

Ye Qingcang placed a Chess Piece onto the board.

He did not even glance at the Shrek group.

With a few casual words, he pronounced Xiao Wu's fate.

Upon hearing this outcome, not only Tang San, Flender, and the others could no longer sit still—even Xiao Wu, who had thought she had luckily preserved her life, could no longer sit still. She screamed, "Don't even think about it, greedy humans!"

As she spoke, she prepared to end her own life.

Unfortunately, the ones holding her were two Titled Douluo.

Before she could resist, she was suppressed.
