Chapter 7: Shocked! A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Is Actually Right Beside Me?!
Xiao Wu was too frightened to sleep.
Lin Qingmo wasn't asleep either.
He lay on his bed, turning over the absurd events of the day in his mind.
'How did things deviate this badly?'
'Could this be the butterfly effect caused by my transmigration?'
"Ding!"
When he saw the notification that Xiao Wu had @mentioned him in the chat group, Lin Qingmo instantly became alert.
[Dad Douluo]: Oh? Ah Tu, you finally spoke again!
[Dad Douluo]: Strange. Aside from the Royal Sister, why has everyone suddenly become so quiet?
Lin Qingmo's message only made Xiao Wu hesitate even more.
She could feel that Lin Qingmo regarded her as someone else—
Another "group member" from the same world as him.
She wanted to know more about the Titled Douluo matters.
But she also didn't want to expose her true identity.
For a moment, she had no idea how to respond.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: I…
She typed a single word.
Then deleted it.
Again and again…
Still unable to figure out what to say.
Lin Qingmo waited for a while.
Seeing no follow-up message, he sent another one.
[Dad Douluo]: Alright, alright. I know you're introverted and don't like talking much.
[Dad Douluo]: You're asking about Tang San's father, right?
[Dad Douluo]: Tang San's father— isn't he Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao? You forgot?
"Boom!"
The moment she saw those words, Xiao Wu began trembling uncontrollably.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Her heart pounded wildly!
It was fear.
"So he really is a Titled Douluo!"
And not just any Titled Douluo—
One that sounded terrifyingly powerful.
A chill shot straight from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She was so scared she almost sat bolt upright in bed.
She never imagined Tang San's father would be such a horrifying existence.
'Mom… what should I do…'
Xiao Wu desperately wanted to go home.
…
Spirit City.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong had just been about to rest.
But upon seeing the chat group messages, all sleepiness vanished.
Shock flashed through her purple eyes.
"Tang Hao?"
"He's actually Tang San's father?"
The late-night chat group was shattered out of its silence by Lin Qingmo's single line— "Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."
The first to speak was the one who had remained silent all this time—Green Grass.
When the message popped up, it appeared fragmented, as if even typing required effort.
[Green Grass]: Ah… Hao…
Just two simple characters,
Yet they carried indescribably complex emotions—
Long-suppressed longing,
Mixed with an unnameable pain.
Immediately after,
Liu Erlong followed up.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Tang Hao? That Clear Sky Douluo who killed the previous Spirit Hall Pope and was hunted down by Spirit Hall?
Her words were filled with shock.
Inside the teacher dormitory at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong suddenly sat upright in bed.
Her eyes burned as she stared at the light screen.
"Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao?"
A legendary figure!
A successor of the Clear Sky Sect—one of the Upper Three Sects.
A ruthless existence who once fought Spirit Hall alone and killed the former Pope, Qian Xunji!
"He's actually the father of that boy Tang San?"
…
Spirit City.
Pope's Palace.
The air around Bibi Dong instantly dropped to freezing point.
Monstrous killing intent surged within her purple eyes.
For certain matters to remain buried, Tang Hao had to die!
Now Ah Qing was telling her that Tang Hao's son was in Nuoding Academy—
And Tang Hao was very likely lurking nearby, protecting him?
Regardless of the truth behind Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao must die!
[The Pope Herself]: Nuoding Academy…
Just two words.
Yet they radiated suffocating, killing intent.
It felt as if one could sense the icy chill of the Pope's Palace through the chat group itself.
[Dad Douluo]: That's right—him!
[Dad Douluo]: Tang San's biological father, the legendary Clear Sky Douluo, who once shook the continent. He's probably hiding somewhere nearby, watching Tang San right now.
[Dad Douluo]: Poor Xiao Wu—sharing a dorm with Tang San. She's probably already been targeted by Tang Hao.
"Targeted by him?!"
Xiao Wu's face instantly turned deathly pale.
She clenched the blanket tightly.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
No one understood better than her just how terrifying a Titled Douluo's perception was.
As a Titled Douluo, Tang Hao would definitely see through her soul-beast identity at a glance!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: !!!
A string of exclamation marks—
More than enough to show Xiao Wu's shock and terror.
She never imagined she'd already been noticed by such a terrifying existence.
And yet she'd been foolishly living in the same dormitory as Tang San!
The moment Liu Erlong saw the name "Xiao Wu," she perked up.
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: Who is Xiao Wu? Why would Clear Sky Douluo be watching her?
When Lin Qingmo saw that question—
He laughed.
[Dad Douluo]: Dragon Mom, your memory's still as bad as ever. You even forgot who Xiao Wu is?
[Dad Douluo]: Who else could she be? A hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast—Soft Bone Rabbit!
[Dad Douluo]: Titled Douluo perception is insane. Transformed soul beasts can't hide in front of them. Tang Hao definitely saw through her a long time ago.
[Dad Douluo]: Netizens all speculate that Tang Hao's plan is the same as back then!
[Dad Douluo]: Let Tang San and Xiao Wu fall in love—just like him and Ah Yin.
[Dad Douluo]: Once their feelings deepen, Xiao Wu will willingly sacrifice herself to protect Tang San.
[Dad Douluo]: Then Tang San gets a free hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone—pure profit with zero cost!
"BOOM!"
Those words detonated like a thunderbolt in the chat group.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: !!!
[The Pope Herself]: !!!
[Tyrant Dragon Mom]: !!!
[Green Grass]: W… what…
All four group members reacted in shock—
Each in their own way.
Xiao Wu was so scared she nearly burst into tears.
Sacrifice?!
Become someone else's soul ring?!
She clamped a hand over her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.
Yet tears streamed down uncontrollably.
After finally transforming into a human,
All she wanted was to live properly, grow stronger, and avenge her mother.
How could she run into something like this?
"Hiss—!"
Liu Erlong sucked in a sharp breath.
A hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast!
A legendary existence!
The value of its soul ring and soul bone was enough to drive any soul master mad!
Even she felt tempted—
But more than that, she was shocked.
"Who would've thought such huge secrets were hidden in a tiny place like Nuoding Academy?"
And Tang Hao's intentions were actually this vicious?
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
A hundred-thousand-year soul ring—
Exactly what her second martial soul needed!
If she absorbed that soul ring, her strength would surely rise to another level.
And it was a transformed soul beast—weak and easy to seize.
But very quickly, she suppressed the temptation in her heart.
"Ah Qing is right beside Xiao Wu."
"If I send people to hunt her, it will definitely arouse Ah Qing's suspicion."
That little fellow from another world knew far too many secrets of the Douluo Continent.
His value might far exceed that of a mere hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Compared to immediate gains,
From a long-term perspective, keeping Ah Qing around to obtain more information was the wiser choice.
…
Meanwhile, in a hidden stone chamber devoid of light—
A fragile Blue Silver Grass gently trembled.
Crystal-clear droplets condensed on its leaves and slowly slid down.
Like silent tears.
"Sacrifice… Ah Hao… was that really what you were thinking…"
