Is Tang Hao Mentally Sound?

(P.S.: The female lead was originally meant to be Gu Yuena alone, but I saw comments saying that many people do not want the protagonist to marry a Soul Beast, so I wanted to ask what everyone thought. Would you prefer Gu Yuena as the sole female lead, or should I switch to a human female lead?)

[Yu Xiaogang continued speaking to Liu Erlong: Xiaosan's father was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo who had killed the Supreme Pontiff back then, Tang Hao. His other Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.]

"Damn!"

"Tang San was actually the Clear Sky Douluo's child?!"

"Wait! I have a question! If Tang San was the Clear Sky Douluo's child, then Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo. We don't know what level he was now, but he was still a Titled Douluo no matter what. Why would he let a Monkey-Faced Master teach his child?"

"Exactly!"

"Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, so why would he find a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster to teach his child? And his child had Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. As a genius, shouldn't he have taught his child himself? How could he let a Monkey-Faced Master teach his child? Besides, Yu Xiaogang was a famous Monkey-Faced Master in the Soul Master world. Tang Hao should never have handed his child over to someone like that. Wasn't he ruining his child's future?"

The thoughts of these ordinary people instantly flooded the comment section. In an instant, the entire comment section was discussing these questions.

[Ning Fengzhi: Tang Hao, I am Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. There is something I do not understand. If you are Tang San's father, then I want to ask you: why did you let your child take a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster as his teacher? What were you thinking? This child had Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. Are you mentally sound? Your child was a super genius—Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. Wasn't that an unparalleled talent? As a Titled Douluo, weren't you more qualified than a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster to teach your genius son? Are you mentally sound?!]

Ning Fengzhi usually played the role of a good old man, but he was furious at this moment. Spirit Hall, the Seven Great Sects, and the Heaven Dou Empire all belonged to aristocratic clan powers. In Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Spirit Hall's influence was challenging the rights of the nobility.

Although the nobles did not get along particularly well with one another, they could still unite to protect their shared interests.

A force like Spirit Hall, which helped commoner Soul Masters rise to prominence, was the enemy of their aristocratic powers.

Spirit Hall was already extremely powerful. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect lacked successors, the Clear Sky Sect had gone into seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only one Titled Douluo. What could they use to fight?

Moreover, the Lower Four Sects of the Seven Great Sects had long since pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall.

Ning Fengzhi felt that the aristocratic powers were growing weaker and weaker. If this continued, Spirit Hall would overthrow the nobility's rule sooner or later. Now, Tang Hao had finally produced a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls.

That meant there was hope of reaching the highest pinnacle of Soul Masters, Level 99 Ultimate Douluo. At that point, they would not need to fear Qian Daoliu. They could still preserve the rule of the aristocratic powers, and even if Spirit Hall wanted to start a war, there would be nothing to fear.

But what he could not understand was this: Tang Hao was clearly a Titled Douluo, and the knowledge he possessed should have surpassed that of a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster. So why had he let someone like Yu Xiaogang become Tang San's teacher, become the teacher of a genius? Wasn't that destroying his child's future?

[Bibi Dong: Ning Fengzhi! Xiaogang is a Martial Soul Theoretical Master unlike any other in the world. How could he possibly lead Tang San astray? Tang San being able to take Xiaogang as his teacher is his good fortune! If I hear you slander Xiaogang again, I will personally visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find you!]

Bibi Dong naturally stood on the side of her first love, the moonlight in her heart.

But while she should have been happy, the Clear Sky Sect was anything but.

"Tang Hao! Is this child stupid? A son with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls actually took a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster as his teacher. Although I hold a grudge against Tang Hao—because of him, my child was attacked by Spirit Hall and died at the hands of Spirit Hall's people—such a genius was actually being ruined like this. A future pillar who could have fought Spirit Hall was destroyed just like that. Was there something wrong with his brain?!"

The speaker was none other than Tang Lie, the Seventh Elder of the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Lie had always resented Tang Hao, the man who had injured the Supreme Pontiff, because his child had died at the hands of Spirit Hall due to Tang Hao. Now that he had heard Tang Hao had a genius son, he had been somewhat pleased despite himself, since the boy could fight Spirit Hall. Yet such a genius had been sent to study under a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster by Tang Hao himself. Even he had to question whether Tang Hao was mentally sound.

"Tang Hao definitely has something wrong with his head." The Fifth Elder could not stand it either. A Twin Martial Souls genius was being ruined just like that.

The situation was different now. In the past, they had not known how Twin Martial Souls should be cultivated, so Tang San had seemed like chicken ribs—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away. But now that Bibi Dong had left Spirit Hall, she could help Tang San cultivate his Twin Martial Souls. They should have been delighted, but Tang San had actually taken a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster as his teacher. If this continued, Tang San would be crippled sooner or later.

"Brothers, let me say a few words. Did you notice? When the Sky Screen played earlier, the Former Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, was killed by Bibi Dong."

"That's right! Spirit Hall went after the Clear Sky Sect because they believed the Supreme Pontiff had been killed by Tang Hao. But now it has been proven that Bibi Dong was the one who killed the Supreme Pontiff. Doesn't that mean we should come out of seclusion as well?"

Tang Lie became extremely excited upon hearing this, because the elders had always hoped that the Clear Sky Sect could emerge from seclusion again. Now that the death of Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff had not been Tang Hao's doing, but the doing of that ungrateful Bibi Dong, did that mean...

"Brothers, let me say this. Have you ever considered why Qian Daoliu, despite clearly knowing that Bibi Dong had killed Qian Xunji, still chose to attack the Clear Sky Sect? Because they needed our Clear Sky Sect to go into seclusion."

At this moment, the Second Elder stepped forward to speak.

"The facts are clear now. Tang Hao did not kill the Former Supreme Pontiff. But even if that changes, what does it change? Does anyone stand with us?"

"And do not forget the strategy we decided on before. Whether those monsters from the Abyss will appear remains unknown. Therefore, what we must do now is continue to endure."
