For two whole days, Xu Xin and Dugu Bo studied the secret manual.
Xu Xin also gained a deeper understanding of the ring explosion.
To surprise Tang Hao, Xu Xin studied ring blasting very seriously.
Today is the day for the three sects to re-select.
The city of Martial Soul was packed with people. The three upper sects and the Shadow Hall sat in the main seats, while the Martial Soul Hall sat high above.
The four lower sects—White Tiger Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Elephant Armor Sect, and Fire Leopard Sect—took their seats in that order.
There were also some less famous sects like the Holy Dragon Sect, Black Tiger Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, and Sparrow Bee Sect, which were relegated to the margins.
All the major sects gathered together. Although they knew they weren't the main characters today, it was still good to come and broaden their horizons.
Those who don't possess a titled Douluo are not qualified to participate in these activities...
"The Spirit Hall welcomes you all."
"I, the Pope, will not say much more. Everyone knows the rules of the competition, so I will not go into detail."
"This grand competition has now begun!"
After saying this with a smile, Qian Xunji sat on the throne on the high platform, crossed his legs, and leisurely looked at the crowd below.
Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo stood beside him, as did Bibi Dong, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked extremely beautiful, her gaze fixed on the direction of the Shadow Palace.
Noticing his good disciple's gaze, Qian Xunji sneered, "Live a few more days, I'm about to die."
Everything was under Qian Xunji's control.
As soon as Qian Xunji finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in cheers.
A figure instantly leaped to the center of the arena: "Shadow Palace Master, do you dare to fight!"
boom!
Tang Hao unleashed his terrifying Soul Douluo aura, his Clear Sky Hammer pointing directly at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin stared blankly at the clown below the stage. This Tang Hao was really reckless.
Tang Zhan was very satisfied with Tang Hao's behavior. This was the kind of disciple he, Tang Zhan, should be—courageous and fearless.
Standing next to Tang Xiao, Ah Jing stared at Tang Hao below the stage with fascination. A Hao, you've gotten even more amazing!
On one side was his master, and on the other was Ahao. Ah Jing didn't favor either of them. He knew that his master would help him succeed and keep Tang Hao by his side.
When he makes his move, he'll definitely protect some parts as well; he's not worried at all.
At worst, I can spend the rest of my life taking good care of Ah Hao; he'd be more than happy to do that.
Therefore, if Xu Xin cripples Tang Hao, it won't matter to Ah Jing.
Tang Zhan was quite satisfied with the woman beside him, who was so devoted to her son. She was talented, kind, and had a clean background. More importantly, she was deeply in love with Tang Hao.
Moreover, her eldest son also praised this woman highly, saying she was very intelligent and could effectively prevent Tang Hao from acting rashly. She was a very good and capable wife.
Talented, good-looking, and with a clean background, this perfectly meets Tang Zhan's requirements. How could he not be satisfied?
If Xu Xin knew what Tang Zhan was thinking, he'd laugh himself to death. Talented? That's just because Xu Xin's aura is concealed, they can't see it. They even think Ah Jing is much younger than Tang Hao.
Good-looking? That's just makeup. Clean background? Of course, his face has changed, and he's from the Killing City. Who knows his true identity?
"Ah Jing, after the selection is over, come with Hao'er to the Haotian Sect."
Tang Zhan said to Ah Jing with a smile.
Ah Jing nodded shyly and agreed.
Seeing Ah Jing's appearance, Tang Zhan was even more satisfied. Tang Xiao, who was standing to the side, also nodded happily. "Brother Hao, your matter has been settled. You must treat Ah Jing well from now on."
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao's gaze unconsciously turned towards the direction of the Shadow Palace, where the woman he loved was.
However, when he looked over, he saw Xu Xin lying on Ah Yin's lap, eating the fruit Ah Yin was feeding him. In an instant, Tang Xiao's face turned ugly...
"Shadow Lord, are you afraid?!"
Before Tang Xiao could even make a move, Yu Yuanzhen, the old dragon, jumped out.
"It's truly shameful that the dignified master of a palace doesn't dare accept a challenge from a junior." (PS: As the palace master, Yu Yuanzhen treats Xu Xin as an equal, which is why he refers to Tang Hao as a junior.)
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Xu Xin with schadenfreude.
Xu Xin simply rolled his eyes at the clown.
"You're so great, why don't you let your son go? They're all the same generation anyway, it'll be a good opportunity for your son to show off his power, won't it?"
"Or is it that your son is useless? Well, everyone knows that you, Yu Yuanzhen, have a good-for-nothing son."
Xu Xin laughed and spoke loudly, "I'm not going to respond to you. I'm going to poke at your sore spot. What can you do about it?"
"You..." Yu Yuanzhen had no way to refute it, because his son really was a good-for-nothing.
"Shadow Palace Master, stop with the empty words. If you have the guts, come down and fight!" Tang Hao held up his Clear Sky Hammer and stared intently at Xu Xin.
Today is a golden opportunity for Tang Hao to make a name for himself and deal with the Shadow Palace Master, and he will not let it slip by.
"Hilarious! You think I'll hit you just because you tell me to? Are you my son? Why should I spoil you like this?"
"Pah, I don't have a son as brainless as you."
Xu Xin spat in disgust. He didn't care about having a stupid son like Tang Hao.
"Aaaaah!! You deserve to die, come down here and fight me if you dare!!"
Tang Hao's anger was instantly ignited, and his killing intent burst forth. How dare they insult me! Only death could quell his rage.
Xu Xin yawned lazily: "My dear son, are you trying to commit some kind of rebellious act?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Tang Zhan of the Haotian Sect. At this moment, Tang Zhan's eyes were filled with killing intent, and he crushed the armrest with his hand.
"Hmph, get down here, let's fight and see who's whose daddy!"
Tang Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, put down the Clear Sky Hammer, and spoke coldly.
"What? You want to make a bet with me?"
Xu Xin looked at Tang Hao with a mocking expression and said deliberately.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"So what if we gambled? If I, Tang Hao, lose, I'll acknowledge you as my father on the spot!!"
"If you lose, you have to acknowledge me as your father on the spot. Do you dare?!"
Tang Hao spoke domineeringly, pointing at Xu Xin.
If Xu Xin dares to agree, I will kill him directly. He dares to humiliate me and my father. He deserves to die.
Tang Hao went to great lengths to force Xu Xin to fight. He was willing to kill Xu Xin if he dared to fight, so that Xu Xin would not even have the chance to acknowledge him as his father.
Xu Xin smiled faintly, spread his Evil God Wings behind him, and instantly flew in front of Tang Hao. Xu Xin looked Tang Hao around.
"What are you looking at?" Tang Hao asked warily.
He couldn't see through Xu Xin's strength. According to his father, he was probably only around level 91 with a title, or maybe not even that.
These are all guesses, so he dared not be careless.
Xu Xin's coming down now means he has agreed to the fight.
"Look at my precious eldest son!"
