Blue Tyrant Academy (3) (Revised)

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San cried out.

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

That hatred was directed not only at the two unfathomable black-robed guards, but also at the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who hid daggers behind his smile, and that handsome youth, who was cut from the same cloth.

Flender and the others were also greatly shocked.

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

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

Yu Xiaogang frowned tightly and stared straight at the Crown Prince.

Ning Rongrong was completely bewildered, but her instincts told her there had to be a reason for this. Otherwise, why would the two black-robed guards not seize her, not seize Zhu Qing, not seize the identity-sensitive Dai Mubai, and instead seize Xiao Wu?

She hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. "Everyone, don't be like this. If there's something to say, let's talk it out. Senior Brother wouldn't have acted against Xiao Wu without reason, right, Senior Brother?"

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

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

"How can they humiliate us Soul Masters like this?"

Tang San shared a deep bond with Xiao Wu and had long regarded her as his exclusive possession. Seeing her suffer such humiliation, he was already blazing with fury.

Still, his words did make sense.

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

But to be honest, Qian Renxue was bewildered too.

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 Snake Lance Douluo and Spiny Porpoise Douluo would capture a little girl, much less seize her in such a humiliating manner.

Could it be 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 down Tang Hao's wife back then, Tang Hao would not have accepted the sacrifice of his 100,000-Year Transformed Soul Beast wife, nor would he have used the Great Sumeru Hammer to gravely injure her father. What was more, even after losing his wife, Tang Hao had remained extremely 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 talk later. She definitely would not hold back!

Tang Hao had spared her father's life, and she truly could not find fault with that!

Therefore, all she needed to do was remain wary of Tang San.

Besides, Tang San was Ye Qingcang's prey.

She and Ye Qingcang were friends—friends who could support each other all the way to the God Realm. Ye Qingcang and Tang San had a conflict of positions, so no matter how outstanding Tang San appeared, she would never feel any desire to recruit him. So long as Tang San posed no threat to her plans, she would not even bother acknowledging him, because he was Ye Qingcang's prey.

That was precisely why she was equally confused.

She could not understand what madness had seized Snake Lance Douluo and Spiny Porpoise Douluo.

But before Snake Lance Douluo and Spiny Porpoise Douluo could explain, Ye Qingcang, who held a chess piece in his hand without yet placing it on the board, spoke first. "She isn't human."

Xiao Wu trembled all over.

If she had still held onto a faint trace of hope after being captured by the two black-robed guards, then now, with her identity exposed in a single sentence by this youth who seemed both divine and demonic, her heart sank to the very bottom.

Qian Renxue was stunned as well.

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 down as well. She knew she could not match Ye Qingcang's tranquil state of mind, but she still forcibly restrained her emotions, trying her best not to let her loss of composure 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 had understood, some had not, and all had their own thoughts. He revealed the truth. "This little rabbit is truly bold. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, especially one that has transformed into human form, she should have obediently cultivated in the forest until reaching Level 70. Only after entering the mature stage above Level 70 would no one be able to see through her true identity. Not even a Titled Douluo would be able to tell. Yet she dared to come out and wander around at just over Level 30. I have to say, this little rabbit has more nerve than any I've ever seen!"

"What?!"

Flender and the others' pupils constricted.

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

Ning Rongrong even covered her small mouth.

Trying to stifle her gasp.

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 looked like they had never seen the world.

Their mouths all fell open.

And from those mouths came a cry filled equally with shock and doubt. "Huh???"

"Still, I don't recommend that you kill her..." Ye Qingcang ignored the Shrek group's doubts. Even as the carriage filled with cries of surprise, he turned back, set his chess piece onto the board, and dropped one bombshell after another.

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

"If she had no owner, there would be nothing wrong with killing her. A 100,000-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—perhaps you have no use for them, but they would be perfect for winning over people who lack Soul Bones."

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

"The famed Clear Sky Douluo."

"She is the Ninth Soul Ring Tang Hao selected for his son Tang San. Since Tang Hao himself possesses a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, he understands very well how powerful one is. Looking across the present age, there are very few Titled Douluo who possess 100,000-Year Soul Rings. Tang Hao is one, Bibi Dong is one, Golden Crocodile Douluo is one, the Spirit Hall Grand Secretary is one, Bo Saixi is one, and the remaining one is the Slaughter King. Of them, three are Level 99, two are Level 98, and Tang Hao is the weakest at Level 96—moreover, an injured Level 96. Tang Hao hopes his son will surpass him, so a 100,000-Year Soul Ring is indispensable."

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

"Tang Hao is now all alone."

"If you push him too far, he might kill you."

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

"You gain nothing and only invite trouble."

Ye Qingcang laid everything out with crystal clarity.

It made Xiao Wu breathe a sigh of relief.

But she quickly realized something was wrong.

What did he mean, prey selected by someone else?

Tang San's father was the famed Clear Sky Douluo?

How had she never known?

Could it be that Tang Hao had seen through her true form long ago, and his refusal to interfere was simply so Tang San could obtain her Soul Ring and Soul Bone effortlessly?

This... couldn't be possible... right?

Faced with Xiao Wu's suspicious gaze, Tang San waved his hands in panic, indicating that he had no such intentions. He also believed the youth's assessment, while casting a suspicious glance at Yu Xiaogang. His instincts told him Yu Xiaogang definitely knew his father's true identity.

Then why had Yu Xiaogang not told him?

Did he have some other scheme against him?

The moment suspicion was born, it was only a matter of time before the accusation took shape!

"Do you need it?" Qian Renxue knew that a set of Angel God Equipment awaited her inheritance in the Worship Hall, so she had no need for any Soul Bones. As for 100,000-Year Soul Rings, for God Trial Takers like herself and Ye Qingcang, they merely needed to complete certain tasks to raise their Soul Rings' age to one hundred thousand years. Xiao Wu's 100,000-Year Soul Ring and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone were merely high-grade reserve resources to the two of them. If her current Soul Power Level had reached Level 60, she would have acted without hesitation. As for that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, she did not know whether Ye Qingcang had Asura God Equipment, so she asked.

"I happen to be Level 40. I need a Soul Ring."

"Forget the Soul Bone. My own bones are the best bones."

"That Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is yours."

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

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

Ye Qingcang placed another chess piece.

He did not even look at the Shrek group.

In 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, "In your dreams, 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.
