Inside the inn.
Ye Qingtian leisurely poured himself a small drink.
The rich fragrance of the wine filled his nostrils, stimulating his very organs. Just one whiff brought a refreshing, soul-soothing sense of comfort.
He lifted the cup and took a small sip, savoring the mellow aroma of the wine as he silently withdrew the divine sense that had covered Heaven Dou City and its surrounding regions.
Through his divine sense, he saw Flender complete Martial Soul Possession at Shrek Academy before hurrying through the night toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He also saw Tang Hao muttering to himself atop a tree outside Shrek Academy, every detail laid bare before him.
"This Flender is quite proactive when it comes to this sort of thing. He does have a bit of a teacher's bearing."
"As for Tang Hao, he truly lives up to his reputation as an overprotective father. Nothing has even started yet, and he is already thinking about protecting his son."
"Judging by the look of him, he probably intends to step in personally only as a last resort, right? That is rather interesting!"
Ye Qingtian murmured softly.
If anyone else knew they would soon have to face three Titled Douluo, pressure would have long since come crashing down upon them.
Unfortunately, he was not worried about this so-called pressure at all. In his eyes, it did not even count as pressure.
To borrow the words of that pretentious king, Aizen, whom he had known in his previous life: ants were still ants. Even if they were bigger, they were still ants.
In his eyes, Tang Hao was precisely such an oversized ant, forever unable to escape the identity of being an ant.
Along his path of growth, he had already killed many such ants, and their souls were still imprisoned within the Human Emperor Banner.
"Grandpa Tian, are you worried about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" At that moment, Qian Renxue noticed something unusual about Ye Qingtian and asked with concern.
Hearing this,
Ye Qingtian waved his hand. "No. I merely sensed that some interesting people have arrived in Heaven Dou City."
"Many interesting things will happen next. That Tang San whose background you have been unable to uncover—his father has already arrived in Heaven Dou City!"
???
Tang San's father?
Qian Renxue was intrigued. "Grandpa Tian, who is Tang San's father? Could he be a Titled Douluo as well?"
"The surname Tang makes the answer obvious!"
Ye Qingtian replied, "Tang San's father is the Clear Sky Douluo of this generation, Tang Hao!"
Hiss—
Qian Renxue was greatly startled. "Grandpa Tian, Tang San is actually Tang Hao's son?"
Ye Qingtian nodded.
It was not much of a secret, so there was nothing he could not say.
According to the original timeline, even without his existence, Qian Renxue would soon learn Tang San's true identity because of Ning Fengzhi.
However, now that he existed, he certainly would not allow Qian Renxue to follow her original path.
His ultimate achievement mission was not merely to nurture Qian Renxue into a god and call it a day. He also had to ensure that she sat firmly upon her divine throne.
Otherwise, if she ultimately perished or fell from Godhood, it might not affect the final reward for the achievement mission.
But under such circumstances, it would be a slap in Ye Qingtian's face.
He, Ye Qingtian, had dominated the Soul Master World and earned the nickname of invincible throughout the God Realm. He could not afford such humiliation.
Xiao Wu was likewise startled awake, her eyes widening uncontrollably. "Th-then... Third Brother's father is also a Titled Douluo? Why have I never heard him mention it before?"
No one paid attention to Xiao Wu. Ye Qingtian could not be bothered, and neither could Qian Renxue.
Compared with Xiao Wu, Qian Renxue was more concerned with something else.
"Grandpa Tian, you said things would become interesting next. Are you planning to add another one of those to your Human Emperor Banner?" Qian Renxue asked with a curious expression.
Ye Qingtian shook his head. "No. Although Tang Hao is strong enough, letting someone like him enter the Human Emperor Banner would soil it."
"Xiao Xue, haven't you always been curious about what your Grandpa Tian's second Martial Soul is? When the time comes, Grandpa Tian can show it to you."
As his words fell,
A teasing glint flashed through Ye Qingtian's eyes.
Twin Martial Souls. His first Martial Soul was the Human Emperor Banner, and his second Martial Soul was the Sunset Bow.
When he had dominated the Soul Master World, most people only recognized his Human Emperor Banner. Very few had truly witnessed the majestic grandeur of the Sunset Bow.
Most of those who saw it ultimately perished beneath the Sunset Bow, and only a small number survived.
For example, Shura God, that old schemer from the God Realm.
Drawing the bow into a full moon, one arrow shattered the stars.
Back then, Shura God had experienced the absolute might of his first Martial Soul and was among the rare few who survived.
And since Shura God and the Tang Family had always shared an inexplicable bond, he did not mind using the Sunset Bow on Tang Hao.
A full-moon draw of the bow, one arrow to blow up that giant hammer.
Two words: perfect!
Otherwise, Ye Qingtian was certain that once Tang Hao realized he was outmatched, he would ultimately detonate his rings and flee.
If Tang Hao truly managed to detonate his rings and escape right beneath his nose, he might as well lock himself inside the Human Emperor Banner.
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up.
At Ye Qingtian's words, her curiosity instantly surged to its peak.
"Grandpa Tian, it's a promise!"
"Grandpa once said that your second Martial Soul was very powerful, but Xue'er has never seen it."
"This time, you must not go back on your word. Let Xue'er properly witness the strength of your second Martial Soul!"
Ye Qingtian nodded slightly.
He affectionately tapped Qian Renxue on the head.
No longer thinking about anything else, he poured himself more wine and continued savoring it.
The next day.
The sun was already high in the sky.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Flender stood there, panting heavily.
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were seated upon three grand seats.
Flender had already informed Ning Fengzhi and the other two of everything.
Ning Fengzhi's expression was composed, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, meanwhile, looked thoroughly furious.
After a long while, Ning Fengzhi spoke solemnly:
"Uncles, I may need both of you to accompany me on a trip."
"Rongrong has gotten herself into trouble. Please come with me so we can bring Rongrong back!"
"At the very least, we need to learn our opponent's identity. We should be able to settle this peacefully. After all, in the current Soul Master World, no matter who it is—"
"They should still give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect some face."
Neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo objected.
Upon hearing that Ning Rongrong had been bullied, Sword Douluo had already wanted nothing more than to charge over with the Seven Kill Sword and start killing.
Ning Fengzhi's arrangement suited his wishes perfectly.
Bone Douluo rose to his feet, and the power of a Titled Douluo instantly erupted:
"In that case, let me take all of you there."
"This old man cannot bear to see my little Rongrong suffer any grievance!"
As his words fell.
Before the others could react.
Bone Douluo had already grabbed the three of them, using his ability to cross space to a certain extent.
One moment they were still inside the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the next, they were already speeding away.
Flender let out a long sigh of relief. With Bone Douluo helping them travel, he felt much less pressure.
"I finally got this matter handled. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, the two Titled Douluo, here."
"This matter is settled!"
