Chapter 337 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [337]
In truth, if Xiao Wu hadn't stepped forward just now, Tang Hao was already prepared to jump out, grab Tang San, and escape.
Tang Hao did know that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and he also guessed that her origin was the Star Dou Forest. However, he hadn't expected that the "Da Ming" and "Er Ming" Xiao Wu mentioned were none other than the two beast kings of the Star Dou Forest—the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
Tang Hao couldn't wrap his head around how a little Soft Bone Rabbit could live alongside such super soul beasts and even be treated as their elder sister.
The power gap was so vast—was she not afraid that one day the Sky Azure Bull Python or the Titan Giant Ape might get hungry and swallow her whole in one bite?
Even if she was a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit with an extraordinary bloodline, at best, she might be able to fight the Sky Azure Bull Python or Titan Giant Ape, who were around the level of 10,000-year soul beasts, to a draw. In short, Tang Hao didn't understand it, but he chose to respect it.
Looking at the two beast kings bowing their heads like younger brothers in front of Xiao Wu, Tang Hao's ambitions burned even brighter.
Initially, he had only intended to deceive the little rabbit, forcing her to sacrifice herself to become a soul ring for his son in the face of a crisis. But now, seeing the relationship between the little rabbit and the two beast kings, he realized that if he played his cards right, he might be able to manipulate others to pressure the two beast kings into sacrificing themselves for Tang San as well.
With three 100,000-year-old soul rings and soul bones, coupled with Tang San's unmatched twin martial soul talent, he could surpass even his grandfather's level of strength one day.
Still, the quality of Blue Silver Grass was too poor. Even though Tang San had inherited Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass, it was far inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer. Given that only one martial soul could be used at a time, Tang Hao decided that Blue Silver Grass would serve as a foundation for the Clear Sky Hammer's cultivation. Ideally, all three 100,000-year-old soul rings should be attached to the Clear Sky Hammer to create an invincible Clear Sky Douluo.
While Tang Hao was calculating his plans with fervor, Ah Yin was roaring in rage, wishing she could tear him apart. However, Chen Ming calmed her down and given that Ah Yin currently couldn't act independently of Chen Ming's control, she had no choice but to restrain herself.
Otherwise, Ah Yin would have already exposed Tang Hao's schemes, hoping to permanently eliminate the hypocrite from the Star Dou Forest.

Due to the activity of many human soul masters hunting soul beasts around the forest's outer regions to obtain soul rings or soul bones, even the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape dared not linger too long outside. If they did, they could end up surrounded and killed by Super Douluo or Titled Douluo-level masters.
After exchanging a few words, the Titan Giant Ape directly picked Xiao Wu up and placed her on its shoulder before heading deep into the Star Dou Forest without looking back.
On the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming's shoulder, Xiao Wu wriggled in frustration, complaining to Da Ming and Er Ming, longing to return to her brother Tang San.
Seeing Xiao Wu like this, the Sky Azure Bull Python felt both heartache and helplessness. With precise control of its strength, it restrained Xiao Wu, ensuring she couldn't escape while not harming her. Then, the two beast kings began discussing the recent events in the Star Dou Forest.
Having spent some time at the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, Xiao Wu had little access to information. Most of what she heard there was gossip among the teachers, but these low-level soul masters were often just speculating. On the way to Souto City, Xiao Wu overheard a little about the situation in the Star Dou Forest, but she didn't know how serious things had gotten. It wasn't until she listened to Da Ming and Er Ming recount the events that the naive Xiao Wu realized the gravity of the situation.
The Sky Azure Bull Python revealed a wound on its body left by the claws of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Despite its powerful lightning attributes and dragon-like physique that was close to a true Azure Dragon, and despite the life-giving energy of the Lake of Life, the damage was severe. Its dragon scales remained shattered in many places, leaving a massive scar on its azure body.
Even with its innate vitality and the Lake of Life's support, it would take years to fully recover from the damage caused by the lightning.
Seeing the wound, Xiao Wu could almost picture the scene of evil soul masters cruelly harming her two younger brothers. Tears streamed down her face as she silently stroked Da Ming and Er Ming, trembling as she cursed the Spirit Hall, soul masters, and humanity's cruelty.
Xiao Wu cast a deep, tearful glance in the direction of Tang San, sighed heavily, and resigned herself to leaving her beloved brother for now. She decided to return to the Lake of Life with Da Ming and Er Ming until she could cultivate to a level where she could fully conceal her aura. Only then would she leave the Star Dou Forest again to reunite with Tang San.
Seeing his hopeful prey slipping away, Tang Hao panicked. His eyes turned blood-red, and he gasped heavily, glaring at Xiao Wu with murderous intent.
Watching the two beast kings preparing to retreat with the soul ring and soul bones he had been eyeing, Tang Hao grit his teeth, adjusted his black robe, and immediately launched his attack from a hidden position.
Because his soul ring configuration was yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red, it was too conspicuous. Fearing that his soul rings would be recognized later, Tang Hao gritted his teeth and detonated his ninth red ring—the one from Ah Yin. He absorbed its power into himself.
Although this temporarily gave him the strength of a Super Douluo, with the ninth ring gone, it made him appear to have the soul ring count of an ordinary Soul Douluo. This was exactly what Tang Hao wanted.
Without detonating the ring, Tang Hao wasn't confident in taking on the two beast kings alone. Without detonating it, he couldn't guarantee his anonymity in the future. He saw this as a necessary sacrifice.
"Ah Yin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shattered the soul ring you left me. But if you have a spirit in the heavens, I hope you'll understand that I did this for Xiao San. I think you'd agree with my decision."
Feeling the surging power within himself, Tang Hao comforted himself with these thoughts.
Meanwhile, inside Chen Ming, Ah Yin was so furious that her anger resembled the rapid tapping of a telegraph machine. She unleashed every curse she knew from her time as the Blue Silver Emperor of the Sun and Moon Continent, directing all her rage at Tang Hao in a relentless torrent.
