[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission to report Tang Hao. Rewards: Phantom God’s Heart, World Memory Fragment (Blue Silver Emperor edition).]
With the mission complete, the rewards were deposited in the System Storage Space.
He opened the storage space and took a look. Just as its earlier description had said, the Phantom God’s Heart was a special divine artifact, best suited for Xiao Wu.
With the Phantom God’s Heart, he would no longer have to worry about anyone seeing through her identity.
Otherwise, any Titled Douluo who came near Shrek Academy could easily recognize her as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had taken human form.
That would bring no end of trouble.
As for the World Memory Fragment, it was a broken jade pendant.
He checked the memory fragment's contents. It was a fragment concerning Ah Yin.
Its contents only went as far as the part where Tang Hao plotted against her.
Information about Ah Yin's subsequent resurrection and other events had not yet been recorded.
Completing more missions might yield the full account.
For now, it was merely half a jade pendant.
"With this... you old bastard, just wait for the surprise I have in store for you."
Lin Xiao sneered inwardly.
Ah Yin was still in that dark cave. Tang Hao probably had not taken her away yet.
All he needed was an opportunity to go there, take out the memory fragment, and use it on Ah Yin. Its contents would be poured straight into her mind.
Once Ah Yin learned all this, he was certain things would become very interesting.
He figured that once Ah Yin took human form again, the first thing she would do was raise a forty-meter saber and hack Tang Hao to death.
"System, now that I have Ah Yin's World Memory Fragment, will there be fragments for other people later? Tang San, for example?"
The possibility occurred to Lin Xiao.
If he could obtain Tang San's World Memory Fragment too, would that not prove that an otherworldly demon had possessed him?
If Ah Yin learned that the soul inside Tang San was not truly her son's...
Would she still awaken his blue silver emperor bloodline?
Without the blue silver emperor bloodline, Tang San's growth would be greatly diminished.
[World Memory Fragments for anyone in this world may appear. Please complete more missions, host.]
That simple answer from the system told him this was something worth pursuing.
Perhaps he really could get Tang San's.
Whether he showed Tang San's World Memory Fragment to Ah Yin or Xiao Wu, it would change their destinies outright.
Still, a complete World Memory Fragment would be best. That way, he could show them Tang Hao's or Tang San's entire life.
Having gathered his thoughts, he stepped into the Seven Treasure Hotel, where someone immediately came to greet him.
It was one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Path Guardians, a Soul Emperor.
"You're here, young Lin? The young lady has been waiting for quite some time."
"Oh, and His Eminence Sword Douluo is here too."
The Soul Emperor Path Guardian had a very favorable impression of Lin Xiao.
Without Lin Xiao's heaven-defying defensive soul skill, Tang Hao might already have silenced them for good.
Lin Xiao could rightly be called their savior.
So Sword Douluo came after all, Lin Xiao thought.
His affection for Ning Rongrong really was excessive.
He treated her entirely as his own granddaughter.
He spoiled her even more than her father, Ning Fengzhi, did.
Lin Xiao entered the street-facing private room in the Seven Treasure Hotel.
Only two people were inside: Ning Rongrong and a handsome, silver-haired middle-aged man.
The other Path Guardians had already concealed themselves in the shadows.
"Greetings, Your Eminence Sword Douluo."
Lin Xiao cupped his hands in salute.
One had to show respect to a Titled Douluo.
Unless one was a powerhouse of equal standing.
Sword Douluo looked Lin Xiao up and down for a moment, then said, "Please, sit."
Once Lin Xiao sat down, he continued, "Rongrong and the Path Guardians have already told me what happened. On behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I offer you my sincere thanks."
"Without your help, Rongrong and the others would likely have been in grave danger."
When Sword Douluo first arrived, Ning Rongrong and the Path Guardians had already recounted the incident to him.
His blood pressure had shot up on the spot, and he had nearly lost control of his Seven Kill Sword.
He had almost ridden his sword off in pursuit of Tang Hao.
Even after learning Ning Rongrong's identity, Tang Hao had still wanted to kill them to silence them?
Did he really think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no teeth?
Even though the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect enjoyed good relations, he could not tolerate this.
Ning Rongrong was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young heir, after all. She would inherit the position of sect master.
Kill her?
That meant severing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's line of succession!
"Your Eminence Sword Douluo, what about the matter of Tang Hao?"
Lin Xiao asked the question that concerned him most.
What he needed to know now was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's stance.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could swallow this insult, then he must have been blind.
Their own young heir had nearly been killed, and they still wanted to smooth things over?
A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like that was not worth associating with.
Sword Douluo said expressionlessly, "Tang Hao's actions amount to a declaration of war against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Naturally, we will not let this rest."
"As for Tang Hao, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will settle accounts with him."
"Even if the Clear Sky Sect intervenes, we will not simply let this go!"
At those words, Lin Xiao inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was the proper attitude.
This would also cut off Tang San's connection to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
With Tang Hao having appeared in person, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably uncover the relationship between Tang San and Tang Hao very soon.
No matter how much talent Tang San displayed in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would never cooperate with him.
"Young friend Lin, Rongrong tells me your martial soul is a sword-type tool martial soul?"
"And you've even created some soul skills of your own? The one that blocked Tang Hao's soul skill was your own creation?"
The matter of Tang Hao was essentially settled.
What intrigued Sword Douluo most now was indeed Lin Xiao's talent.
A sword-type martial soul, awakened only a few days ago, innate soul power at level twenty, heaven-bestowed soul rings, and even a self-created, heaven-defying defensive soul skill.
It was a rule-based soul skill, too, something exceedingly rare.
According to what Lin Xiao had said earlier, his Invincible Golden Body soul skill could be maintained without interruption.
Nothing below the divine level could break through it.
Such heaven-defying talent left him deeply curious.
Innate soul power at level twenty, in particular, was simply outrageous.
Had anyone of that caliber ever appeared in the history of the soul master world?
His Seven Kill Sword martial soul was also one of the finest tool martial souls, yet his innate soul power had only been level eight.
Even so, he had already been an undeniable prodigy.
"Your Eminence Sword Douluo, my martial soul is called the Four Swords of Zhu Xian."
"As for my self-created soul skills, I developed them in my spare time."
The corners of Sword Douluo's mouth twitched violently several times.
Soul skills developed in his spare time could actually defy the heavens to that extent?
This boy's talent was surely a rarity beyond compare.
"May I take a look at your martial soul?"
Naturally, a sword-type martial soul interested him greatly.
Among the sword-type martial souls in the soul master world today, the Seven Kill Sword was the undisputed number one.
But he was very curious whether a martial soul that granted innate level 20 soul power could surpass his Seven Kill Sword.
After a moment's thought, Lin Xiao summoned the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
All four swords appeared, rather than just one.
The instant the Four Swords of Zhu Xian floated before him, Sword Douluo's pupils contracted sharply, and his hair stood on end.
Even the Seven Kill Sword hovering behind him began to tremble violently.
