Midnight Soul Hunting, Tang Hao's Interception

"First Soul Skill, Entanglement!"

The blow to his backside hurt so much that Tang San could not help scratching at his head and ears in pain.

However, despite taking that vicious strike, he released his First Soul Skill once more.

This time, with his full concentration, nothing went wrong. His Entanglement bound the opponent tightly and securely.

But the blow to his backside had been for nothing!

"Tang San! What the hell are you doing?! How can you get distracted in the middle of a fight?!"

Wang Sheng truly wanted to curse Tang San to death right now. His Hundred Year Soul Ring was indeed shocking, but his brain-dead fighting style was equally frustrating and infuriating. If he had just been a little more careful, he would not have needed to take that hit!

Watching Tang San limp around like that, Luo Zixi could barely keep himself from laughing.

In fact, Tang San's attack just now could have directly restrained his opponent. Unfortunately, the other party had been far too confident and had not expected Luo Zixi's "Wood Spirit Body" to interfere.

At the critical moment, just as Tang San was about to bind him completely, Luo Zixi had subtly controlled one strand of Blue Silver Grass, leaving the opponent an opening to escape through.

After the opponent dodged Tang San's attack, everything developed into the situation before them.

One swing of the stick had landed squarely on Tang San's buttock, making the way he walked now look utterly ridiculous.

"Little San! Can you still do this? If not, let me take over!"

Seeing Tang San suffer a setback, Luo Zixi very helpfully offered him a suggestion that sounded rather reasonable.

Yet, just as he expected, Tang San did not listen at all!

"It's fine! Let me handle it! I can defeat all three of them by myself!"

The moment he heard Luo Zixi wanted to steal his spotlight, Tang San was the first to object, stubbornly insisting on facing them alone!

Tang Hao, hiding in the shadows, wore a satisfied smile when he saw this. This was his good son. A true man should possess such an indomitable spirit!

Then he shifted his gaze to Luo Zixi and Xiao Wu, who stood at the front of the group, and a trace of viciousness rose in his eyes.

"Heh heh, you little bastard, just keep hiding. Once you leave that hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast, I'll kill you!"

Tang Hao Favorability -10%, Tang Hao Current Favorability -45%

"Fuck!"

Upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Luo Zixi could not help blurting out a curse.

Another ten percent? You two really were fucking father and son!

No, he had to move up the time to obtain his second Soul Ring!

With that thought in mind, Luo Zixi became even more ruthless toward Tang San.

A quarter of an hour passed. Tang San, his face bruised and swollen and one side of his backside sticking up, accomplished the "great feat" of taking on three opponents by himself, just as he had claimed at the start.

Xiao Chenyu and the others completely submitted to Tang San, expressing their earnest loyalty to him.

However, when Tang San turned to look at Xiao Wu, he discovered that she had not paid him any attention at all. She was still chatting and laughing with Luo Zixi.

"Luo Zixi! Xiao Wu! I won!"

Tang San called out toward Luo Zixi and Xiao Wu, interrupting their pleasant conversation.

"Huh? You won? Congratulations, Little San. As expected of you, Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power."

Luo Zixi gave him a few perfunctory claps, then took Xiao Wu's hand and left.

Surrounded by Wang Sheng and the others, Tang San could only watch as Xiao Wu and Luo Zixi gradually disappeared from his sight.

Seeing this, Tang San felt somewhat lost. What was he doing now? Did any of what he was doing truly mean anything to him?

Late at night, Luo Zixi slowly awoke from cultivation. Whether he lived or died depended on whether tonight's plan succeeded.

"Sigh..."

Luo Zixi let out a deep sigh. Though he had the system, Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, had tightly restricted his development.

Whether he would rise like a hidden dragon or die and vanish into nothingness depended on whether he could avoid Tang Hao's gaze tonight.

With that thought, he turned to look at Xiao Wu, who was still pressed close beside him and fast asleep, and could not help falling into deep thought.

Honestly, did he truly not care about Xiao Wu? Naturally, the answer was no.

As someone from Blue Star, he was not as old-fashioned as the people of Douluo Continent. After three months together, it would be a lie to say he had not developed feelings for her.

But he truly had no power right now. If he left, perhaps she could live a little longer.

Thinking this, he carefully got to his feet and placed the wooden comb Xiao Wu had left by the bedside in front of her.

"If the two of us can both stay alive, I wouldn't mind taking you, this little rabbit, as my personal maid."

After softly murmuring that, Luo Zixi quickly changed into the black casual clothes he had prepared long ago and headed for the Soul Hunting Forest.

Yet not long after he left, Xiao Wu, whose breathing had been steady as though she were sleeping soundly, slowly opened her pale red eyes.

Looking in the direction Luo Zixi had gone, her heart was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"Why did that bad guy leave in the middle of the night today? And why did he say something so strange? No, I need to follow him and see what's going on!"

In the forest outside Notting City, Luo Zixi leaped from trunk to trunk. He was rapidly closing in on the Soul Hunting Forest at incredible speed.

Yet a cold gaze lurked in the shadows, staring at him like a venomous snake.

"Hehe, this is rather interesting. No wonder that little bastard hasn't gone to obtain a spirit ring lately. So he noticed someone was watching him in secret and was too afraid of danger to come out."

Tang Hao, clad in a black robe, followed closely behind him, the killing intent in his eyes growing even stronger.

Recently, he had been looking for a chance to eliminate Luo Zixi, this potential threat. But the other party had remained at Notting Academy the entire time, and was always together with Xiao Wu, a hundred-thousand-year transformed Soul Beast, leaving him with no opportunity to act.

This deeply scheming brat absolutely could not be allowed to live!

Luo Zixi was currently rushing along at full speed. God knew how much he hoped that old bastard Tang Hao was asleep and hadn't noticed him leaving.

But at that moment, a cold, mechanical electronic voice sounded in Luo Zixi's mind.

Tang Hao's favorability detected at -55%. Current favorability: -100%.

The moment Luo Zixi heard the voice in his mind, his heart went cold. He knew that his brief life after transmigrating might be about to end.

"Crack."

His expression became somewhat dazed after hearing the system notification. In his distraction, he stepped on a rotten branch.

Bang!

With the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, Luo Zixi rolled twice before dispersing the force of his fall.

He looked rather disheveled now. The new clothes Old Jack had woven for him were covered in dust from the fall and rolling across the ground, and a tear had appeared at the hem.

Seeing that Tang Hao had not appeared immediately, Luo Zixi got up and prepared to leap onto the branches again, heading for the Soul Hunting Forest.

After all, as long as he could absorb the spirit ring of even a ten-year Soul Beast, he would have a chance to turn things around!

Yet before he could leap back onto the tree trunk, a rough, chilling voice echoed through the surrounding woods almost instantly.

"Little bastard, there is no need for you to keep running. Today, you will die here. No matter what you do, it will all be futile in my hands."
