Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong closed the Chat Group light screen.
Her gaze gradually became sharp.
"Tang Hao... I didn't expect you to actually be hiding near Nuoding City."
Bibi Dong murmured in a low voice.
A cold killing intent flashed through her purple eyes.
"Someone, come here."
Bibi Dong's voice rang out, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Your Holiness."
Two figures arrived at the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
The arrivals were none other than the two Titled Douluo Elders of Spirit Hall—Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
"The traces of the criminal Tang Hao have been discovered near Nuoding City."
Bibi Dong's voice was flat.
Yet it exuded a suffocating killing intent.
"Tang Hao!"
The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo showed expressions of surprise.
"I order the two of you to proceed to Nuoding City immediately and capture Tang Hao at all costs."
"If he resists, kill him on the spot!"
"Yes! Your Holiness!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo glanced at each other.
Both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Tang Hao!
That Clear Sky Douluo who killed the previous Supreme Pontiff and was hunted by Spirit Hall!
They didn't expect him to appear near the remote Nuoding City.
The two didn't dare to delay.
They immediately accepted the order.
"Your subordinates will set out at once!"
After speaking.
The two figures vanished from the Supreme Pontiff Palace like ghosts.
Only Bibi Dong remained in the hall.
She walked to the window and gazed in the direction of Nuoding City.
The corners of her mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
"Lin Qingmo, this is as far as I help you."
"Next, it will depend on your own abilities."
"I hope you don't disappoint me."
...The night was as dark as ink.
The lights of Nuoding Academy had long been extinguished.
Only the occasional chirping of insects echoed in the silence.
A dim oil lamp was still lit in Yu Xiaogang's office.
He sat at his desk wearing a grey robe.
A thick stack of papers was spread out before him.
"Tang San... twin spirits, Innate Full Spirit Power, and such a resilient will and a mindset far beyond his peers..."
Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself.
His fingers lightly tapped the tabletop.
"With my guidance and a tailor-made perfect spirit ring combination for him."
"Before long, he will become the top Spirit Master of the Douluo Continent!"
"When that time comes, everyone will know that I, Yu Xiaogang, am not trash!"
He had spent his life researching Spirit Master theories.
Yet, due to a malignant mutation of his Spirit, he was unable to achieve a Breakthrough past Level 30 for his entire life.
He had suffered endless ridicule and cold stares in this life.
Tang San's appearance was like a beam of light, illuminating his bleak life.
He wanted to pass on everything he had learned in his life to Tang San.
To let Tang San become the best proof of his theories.
To prove to the entire Douluo Continent that his name of 'Grandmaster' was definitely not earned in vain!
Just as he was enjoying these thoughts of the future.
A dark shadow appeared in the office like a ghost.
!!!
Yu Xiaogang was startled.
He suddenly turned around.
His spirit power instantly began to circulate as he looked at the newcomer warily.
He saw a person clad in a large black cloak, shrouding their entire figure in shadow.
Only a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool were visible, emitting a suffocating pressure.
"Who is it?"
Yu Xiaogang shouted in a low voice.
Even though the other party's aura made him feel incomparable fear.
He still forced himself to remain calm.
The man in black did not answer.
He only slowly raised his hand and took off the cloak from his head.
A face with sharp features appeared under the light.
His gaze was sharp.
Yet it carried a sense of exhaustion from many years of hardship.
"It's you!"
The somewhat familiar face caused Yu Xiaogang's pupils to shrink.
After recognizing this person, an expression of disbelief surfaced.
"Clear Sky Crown Prince?!"
Tang Hao's name was known to everyone in the Douluo Continent.
Yu Xiaogang had also regarded him as an idol when he was young.
He had been incredibly envious of his strength and deeds.
Tang Hao looked at Yu Xiaogang.
He said in a flat tone:
"I have come for my son."
"Your son?"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment.
Then he suddenly reacted, his eyes widening into circles.
"Clear Sky Hammer!"
"Could it be... Tang San is your son?!"
Tang Hao nodded slightly, which served as an admission.
"It's actually true!"
Yu Xiaogang was so excited that his whole body trembled.
His breathing became rapid.
His Disciple was actually the son of his idol!
twin spirits plus the Clear Sky Douluo's Bloodline—this was simply a chosen one!
"I am leaving him to you, I hope you can train him well."
Tang Hao's tone was still flat.
But his eyes carried a trace of an imperceptible entrustment.
As he spoke.
Tang Hao took out a black token from his robe.
On it was engraved the symbol of Spirit Hall, as well as the word 'Elder'.
A Spirit Hall Elder Token.
He handed the token to Yu Xiaogang.
"Take this. With it, the people of Spirit Hall will not make things difficult for you and Little San in the future."
Yu Xiaogang took the token with trembling hands.
His heart was filled with wild joy!
He was just about to say something more.
But he saw Tang Hao's expression suddenly change.
The other man's gaze became sharp as he looked out the window.
"It seems some rats have found their way to the door."
Tang Hao said in a low voice.
His tone carried a hint of cold killing intent.
He could clearly feel two powerful spirit powers rapidly approaching Nuoding Academy.
"I'm leaving. Take care of Little San."
After Tang Hao finished speaking.
His figure flashed.
He vanished from the office.
Leaving Yu Xiaogang alone on the spot.
The excitement in his heart did not dissipate for a long time.
And at this time.
In the Work-Study Student dormitory of Nuoding Academy.
Lin Qingmo was wide awake.
Lying on his bed, he had no desire to sleep.
His mind was constantly calculating how to report Tang Hao's whereabouts to Spirit Hall without exposing his own identity.
After making inquiries.
He already knew the specific location of Saint Spirit Village, where Tang San used to live.
It was near Nuoding City, not too far away.
"Going directly to Spirit Hall to report definitely won't work."
"But how would I, a six-year-old kid, know Tang Hao's whereabouts?"
This was an action that could easily lead to the discovery of something abnormal.
Lin Qingmo furrowed his brows.
He pondered in his heart.
"Maybe I can report anonymously? Pretend to have accidentally overheard the information and tell the people of Spirit Hall?"
Just as he was deep in thought.
"Ah!!!!"
A loud roar suddenly pierced the night sky.
It shook the entire Nuoding City, making it seem to tremble.
"Criminal Tang Hao!"
"Spirit Hall is here, surrender quickly!"
"Resist and you will be killed on the spot!"
The voice was sharp and piercing, carrying an arrogant air.
Immediately after.
A coarse and heroic laugh rang out, sounding disdainful and domineering.
"Hahaha, a chrysanthemum and a ghost, you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?"
As soon as the words fell.
Rumble—!
The ground suddenly shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
The beds in the dormitory shook incessantly.
Clutter on the tables fell one after another.
!!!
The sleeping Work-Study Students were startled awake.
One by one, they scrambled up in a panic, not knowing what had happened.
"What's going on?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"What a terrifying vibration!"
"Is some powerful Spirit Beast attacking Nuoding City?"
"Quick, get out!"
The Work-Study Students discussed animatedly.
Everyone scrambled to rush out of the dormitory.
And when Lin Qingmo heard those two voices.
A storm had already risen in his heart!
"A chrysanthemum... a ghost..."
Isn't this the same thing Tang Hao said in the original work he had heard?
Plus that voice at the very beginning telling Tang Hao to surrender quickly... Tang Hao!
Chrysanthemum Douluo!
Ghost Douluo!
"Why would they start fighting here?!"
...
