Tang Hao, the useless husband
"Keep detonating!" Feeling the overwhelming power of Maximum: Meteor, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and detonated another Soul Ring, but a mouthful of black blood spilled from his lips.
After severely injuring Qian Xunji and two other Titled Douluos all those years ago, he had been left with countless hidden injuries. Using Ring Detonation so recklessly now placed an enormous strain on his body.
The hammer collided with the massive Flaming Meteorite. A thunderous explosion rang out, and Tang Hao collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Trembling, he watched Jogo deliberately take Ah Yin out of his Soul Tool and roared, his face twisted with rage, "Give Ah Yin back to me!"
The Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns trembled slightly, as though aching over Tang Hao's injuries.
At that moment, Tang Hao looked exactly like a useless husband, able to do nothing but watch as Jogo took his wife away.
Jogo had lost interest in continuing the fight. He had not used the Infinite Points Card just now. After the panel's third upgrade, his daily emotion points cap had risen to 15,000, and he had already earned all 15,000.
He had originally planned to tear off one of Haozi's arms and legs, but Tang San still did not know his father was the Clear Sky Douluo. Better to wait until Tang San learned Tang Hao's identity, then rip the limbs off his supposedly invincible father right before his eyes!
Wouldn't the emotion points come pouring in then? Hehe!
With that thought, Jogo swaggered away with Tang Hao's wife.
Watching this unfold, Tang Hao nearly burst with rage, but there was nothing he could do. After detonating three Soul Rings in succession, his old injuries had flared up. Even getting to his feet was a struggle.
Jogo brought Ah Yin to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dugu Bo's poisonous mist still shrouded its perimeter.
Tang Hao had planted Ah Yin in that sunless cave partly to protect her, but was he really not worried that it might also threaten her survival?
Just plant Ah Yin in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Later, get a bunch of clones and move all the Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Forest here. Then have the Blue Silver King slowly draw in the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass throughout the Sunset Forest. Over the years, the sheer accumulation alone could restore Ah Yin's hundred-thousand-year cultivation.
Why revive Ah Yin, you ask? To farm emotion points, of course, then absorb her Soul Ring afterward! What else, have some sweet little romance?
Everyone knew that falling in love on the Douluo Continent lowered your IQ. Examples included, but were not limited to, Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, Qian Renxue... Even fanfiction protagonists suffered the same fate. Bai Ranmo would never do something so stupid.
When the time comes, just say, "Madam, you wouldn't want anything to happen to Haozi and Xiao San...!"
Upon entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he found a man and a woman seated inside.
The man had a gentle, refined face and looked barely past twenty. Dressed in white robes, he radiated powerful Soul Power fluctuations. He was unmistakably a Titled Douluo.
The woman had a graceful, curvaceous figure and wore a seductive smile, her eyes seemingly teasing everyone they fell upon. She was short, less than 1.6 meters tall, but exceptionally well-endowed. Her outfit was alluring and sexy, and a single white streak ran through her short, blood-red hair.
Nine Treasure Douluo, Martial Soul: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Su Liuchuan, a level 92 Auxiliary Titled Douluo.
Manjusaka, one of the Seven Shadow Assassins from Scissor Seven. Martial Soul: Manjusaka. A level 89 Omni-Type Soul Douluo.
Manjusaka was a Soul Douluo obtained through a ten-pull. She had originally been only level 85, but an Immortal Herb, along with the seventy-thousand-year shadow ghost tiger left leg bone obtained in the first draw, had pushed her all the way to level 89. Now, she only needed to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to advance to Titled Douluo.
Without a Titled Douluo to protect him, Su Liuchuan would not leave the house even if his life depended on it. Ning Fengzhi was a smiling tiger, kind to his own people and ruthless toward outsiders. Su Liuchuan had no doubt that if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect discovered him and he refused to join, Sword and Bone Douluo would drag him back to the sect for breeding!
Then his life would become an endless routine of waking up, eating, breeding, eating again, and sleeping. How was he supposed to farm emotion points like that?
"So this is the Blue Silver Emperor?" Manjusaka's syrupy voice rang out. She stared at the Blue Silver Grass in Jogo's hand with an intrigued expression.
Her Manjusaka Martial Soul was a plant-type Martial Soul with both deadly poison and life attributes, making the Blue Silver Emperor an excellent choice for her Ninth Soul Ring.
"Unfortunately, unless she repeatedly absorbs the life energy of all the Blue Silver Grass throughout the Sunset Forest, it'll take a long time for her cultivation to reach a hundred thousand years." Jogo shrugged.
Manjusaka pouted and tugged at Su Liuchuan beside her. "Liuchuan, darling, you're so clever. Surely you can think of a way to make the Blue Silver Emperor become a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and offer herself to me through Sacrifice!"
Su Liuchuan rolled his eyes. Manjusaka had none of Bai Cangyue's robotic feel. She knew they were all Bai Ranmo's clones, but still enjoyed putting on this coy, cutesy act and playing along with him.
Su Liuchuan occasionally chatted with Manjusaka to relieve his boredom. After all, according to the script's premise, Manjusaka was his wife.
Actually doing anything with her was out of the question. It was like chatting with Doubao every day. Surely you would not actually fall in love with Doubao?
"Then what should I choose for my Ninth Soul Ring?" Manjusaka put on an unhappy expression. Neither the Sky Azure Bull Python nor the Titan Giant Ape suited her.
Xiao Wu was even less worth considering. The Soft Bone Rabbit species had poor bloodline quality, and its Soul Ring skills were mediocre. Manjusaka had no interest in them.
Never mind Manjusaka—even Su Liuchuan insisted that her Ninth Soul Ring be a hundred-thousand-year one. Only then would he feel safe.
A Titled Douluo with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, paired with a Titled Douluo possessing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, would at least be able to escape Sword and Bone Douluo.
That left them with no choice but to wait for the Shop to refresh its stock with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
After planting Ah Yin, Jogo began considering when to visit the Blue Silver Forest and what story he should use to fool the Blue Silver King. With his identity as a Ferocious Beast with two hundred thousand years of cultivation, deceiving the Blue Silver King should not be difficult.
That way, the Blue Silver King could continually absorb the vitality of the Blue Silver Grass in the Sunset Forest and pass it on to Ah Yin, while also protecting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Why not?
As for Ah Yin speaking ill of Jogo to the Blue Silver King...
Jogo could simply tell the Blue Silver King that Tang Hao had manipulated Ah Yin's feelings to make her willingly perform Sacrifice. Although the idea that its emperor had been set up to sacrifice herself to a human was absurd and hardly convincing, this was the Romance Continent, and the culprit was an inherently evil human. The Blue Silver King would believe at least seventy or eighty percent of it.
Toji also arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He took the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone out of his Storage Soul Tool and tossed it to Manjusaka.
Manjusaka absorbed the hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone and successfully broke through to become a level 90 Quasi-Titled Douluo.
