"Ning Fengzhi! You!" At this moment, Tang Hao truly could not believe that Ning Fengzhi had come looking to cause trouble for him!
Tang Hao had always had an impression of that old fox from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Although he understood that Ning Fengzhi's constant talk of the Upper Three Sects sharing the same breath and branch was meant to oppose Spirit Hall, the problem was the outcome. He had never expected the first person to come after him to be Ning Fengzhi, the very man who had proclaimed that the Upper Three Sects stood together. He had thought they would not tear their faces apart, yet now, over a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, they truly were.
"Sect Master Ning, this 100,000-year Spirit Beast is my daughter-in-law. No matter what, I cannot agree to this!"
At this moment, Tang Hao recalled Ayin. Back then, it had been because Ayin's whereabouts were exposed that the Supreme Pontiff of that time had led the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo to surround and kill them. In the end, they failed to escape, and Ayin Sacrificed herself. The current situation was very similar to back then, except this time it was the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect accompanied by two Titled Douluo.
"Tang Hao, do you really take us for fools? Aren't you doing this for a 100,000-year Spirit Beast's Soul Ring and Soul Bone? Who in the world takes a 100,000-year Spirit Beast as a wife? Don't you know what a case Wolf Raiders are?"
Ning Fengzhi did not know that Tang Hao had once had a 100,000-year Spirit Beast wife, nor did he know why Spirit Hall had fought Tang Hao so fiercely back then.
If he had known, he would only have said: Tang Hao, are you insane? Don't you know what Wolf Raiders are?
Wolf Raiders existed on Douluo Continent.
Wolf Raiders could be called human, but they could also be called inhuman. They were hybrids born from humans and a type of Soul Beast known as Gale Demon Wolves.
Wolf Raiders were innately **, capable of mating with nearly any creature close to their own size, and they especially liked ** human women.
After they mated with women, they produced the special race known as Wolf Raiders.
They could be described as monsters that were half wolf and half human.
The humans of Douluo Continent collectively believed that when humans and Soul Beasts combined, beings similar to Wolf Raiders would be born.
If Ning Fengzhi knew that Tang San had Soul Beast blood, he would probably have greatly discriminated against Tang San as well.
In the original story, the reason Tang San was known to possess Soul Beast blood but was not treated badly was because Tang San was strong enough, and because he stood on the side that protected aristocratic interests. Naturally, those nobles would not say anything about him.
Furthermore, Spirit Hall had ultimately lost. The nobles had won, so Tang San's image naturally could not be demeaned into something like a Wolf Raider.
Thus, even humans ten thousand years later—the people of the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan—would not say anything about Tang San even if they knew he had Soul Beast blood. They would not make vile jokes about his Soul Beast blood or demean it.
"Sect Master Ning! I am absolutely not joking. Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, but she has already transformed into a human. She should be treated as a human!"
At this moment, Tang Hao stated that he was absolutely not joking.
"Hehehe!" Ning Fengzhi felt that Tang Hao was merely stalling for time and did not want to fight. He was afraid of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluo.
After all, in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, this behavior was utterly ridiculous. Even if a 100,000-year Spirit Beast could transform into a human, it would still yield a Soul Ring and Soul Bone. If it could yield a Soul Ring and Soul Bone, could it be considered human?
"Ning Fengzhi! I am telling you clearly right now, I am not joking!"
Tang Hao shouted at this moment. Sword Douluo Chen Xin also seemed to realize that Tang Hao really was not joking.
"Sect Master! Tang Hao does not seem to be joking."
Chen Xin could sense that Tang Hao was not joking, but he was also very curious. Why would the mighty Haotian Douluo defend a Soul Beast? Humans had risen by hunting Soul Beasts. Only by absorbing Soul Beasts' Soul Rings and Soul Bones could they become powerful. Some people even ate Soul Beast flesh and drank Soul Beast blood. These things were common knowledge across the continent. In the eyes of Soul Masters and humans across the continent, Soul Beasts were merely materials for growing stronger.
So what kind of bewitching potion had someone fed the great Haotian Douluo to turn him into this? He had actually chosen to let his son marry a Soul Beast?
Was he truly not afraid that his child would give birth to something like a Wolf Raider?
"Tang Hao, are you truly not joking?"
Ning Fengzhi confirmed it once again.
"I am not joking. This 100,000-year Spirit Beast has already transformed into a human and possesses extraordinary talent. Why can't I let my son marry her?"
"Is this Haotian Douluo sick in the head?" At this moment, Dai Mubai and the other Shrek students and members had moved far away from Tang Hao and Ning Fengzhi, reaching a remote corner of the plaza.
"What exactly is Tang Hao thinking? Letting his son marry a Soul Beast—isn't that insane?"
Zhao Wuji was not afraid at this moment. After all, there were two Titled Douluo present. Tang Hao alone, as one Titled Douluo, could not possibly do anything to them.
At the same time, this was what everyone was curious about. Even if a Soul Beast could transform into a human, it would still yield Soul Rings and Soul Bones. Moreover, it had once been a beast. Therefore, in the eyes of many humans—or rather, in the eyes of all humans and Soul Masters across the continent—a Soul Beast was a Soul Beast. Once a Soul Beast, always a Soul Beast!
They would forever be materials for humans to grow stronger.
They were stepping stones for humanity.
This was the universal value held by all humans and Soul Masters on Douluo Continent.
"Tang Hao! Do you not know what kind of children humans and Soul Beasts can produce? Does no one know what Wolf Raiders are? Don't you know about the Wolf Raiders of the Star Luo Empire?"
Ning Fengzhi could now judge that Tang Hao might truly want his son to marry a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. At this moment, he genuinely felt that Tang Hao might have gone mad.
"Tang Hao! You were born in the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Sect supports the Star Luo Empire. Do you not know about the Wolf Raiders running rampant in the Star Luo Empire? Although this 100,000-year Spirit Beast is a rabbit, even if she bears a child with a human, that child would likely be a half-human, half-beast monster. Are you not afraid your son will give birth to a monster?"
Ning Fengzhi was not afraid that Tang Hao could defeat them. If Tang Hao truly could defeat them, he would have acted long ago.
Otherwise, why would he be standing here reasoning with them?
Therefore, there was no need to rush into a fight now.
"No. Let me tell you clearly: my wife, Ayin, was also a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. The reason the Former Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji fought me back then was to obtain my wife's Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Xiaosan is the child of a human and a Soul Beast, but he did not become something like a Wolf Raider. This proves that even if a 100,000-year Spirit Beast and a human have a relationship, they will not produce a half-human, half-beast monster like a Wolf Raider."
"What? Tang San is the child of a 100,000-year Spirit Beast?!"
Ning Rongrong could not believe it, and the people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were stunned as well.
Even the Shrek students were dumbfounded.
