Chapter 332 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [332]
"A fifty-thousand-year soul bone? Isn't that price a little too low? With my poison abilities, if I want to kill that hundred-thousand-year soul beast, you wouldn't be able to stop me. At that point, although the hundred-thousand-year soul ring would be wasted, I could still compete for that hundred-thousand-year soul bone."
"You dare!" Tang Hao glared, roaring in response.
"Why wouldn't I dare? We're both Title Douluos and my soul power is above yours. What makes you think you can dare, but I can't?"
Tang Hao was silent for a moment, then sighed and had to admit that what Dugu Bo said was true.
After all, if he discovered that Dugu Bo had a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, he would undoubtedly try to take it too. Even if he couldn't obtain it, he would make sure to destroy the transformed soul beast completely, leaving no chance for Dugu Bo to get it either.
"What do you want?" Tang Hao asked heavily.
"Simple. If you want the soul ring, then the soul bone will belong to me. If you want the soul bone, then the soul ring will be mine. You're a Title Douluo too, so I don't want to fight you to the death. After all, even if I could kill you, with my poison abilities, there wouldn't be a single living person left in Souto City. I can't afford to leave such a notorious legacy on the continent over this matter."
"You choose one between the soul ring and the soul bone, and the other will be mine. Both take a step back—this is fair, isn't it?"
Tang Hao didn't want to fight Dugu Bo to the death either. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and replied in a deep voice.
"Fine, I want the soul ring. That little rabbit is a soul ring I've reserved for my son. What happens afterward is none of your concern. Once the soul ring is absorbed, I'll naturally give you the soul bone."
"Of course, all of this is based on the condition that you don't expose the existence of me and Xiao San. Otherwise, beware of a fight to the death. A Title Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and the world's number one tool martial soul is not something you can imagine dealing with."

"As for that transformed soul beast girl, I suppose even without me saying it, you wouldn't reveal her existence either. Otherwise, if the Spirit Hall found out, not only would neither of us get the soul ring or soul bone, we wouldn't even get a strand of rabbit fur."
While saying this on the surface, Tang Hao was secretly scheming in his mind. For the sake of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and bone, and for using Tang San's talent to exact revenge on the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao didn't mind employing some underhanded tactics.
If it came to it, he could quietly return to the Clear Sky Clan and contact his elder brother Tang Xiao. So many years had passed, and his elder brother's strength had long since reached the level of a Super Douluo. With the Clear Sky Clan's legacy and the strength of the world's number one tool martial soul, even among Title Douluos, they would be absolute powerhouses.
At that point, with the two brothers joining forces, Tang Hao didn't believe that they couldn't take down a mere Dugu Bo.
Rumor had it that Dugu Bo's rapid breakthroughs in recent years were often suspected to be due to acquiring high-quality, high-year soul bones. If a few high-year soul bones could be taken from Dugu Bo, it would also help compensate the Clear Sky Clan for the losses he had caused them all those years ago.
If Dugu Bo's soul bones were good enough and suitable for the Clear Sky Clan, perhaps he wouldn't have to sever his limb and return the soul bone to the clan after all.
"Hmph, naturally." Although Tang Hao agreed on the surface, Chen Ming, who had been observing Tang Hao's thoughts, could tell what Tang Hao was scheming. However, since the plan was set, Chen Ming pretended to reluctantly agree and responded.
But just as Tang Hao and Tang San liked to label others as courting death, Tang Hao now appeared to Chen Ming as someone who was courting death himself.
In the future, once the plan succeeds and Tang Hao is no longer a useful pawn, Chen Ming would not hesitate to deal with him harshly.
As the God of Sin, Plague, Death, and Poison, Chen Ming possessed many cruel abilities that could cause unimaginable pain, whether to the body, mind, or soul. He simply refrained from using them in his daily life.
In fact, as a transmigrator, the fact that he hadn't immediately eliminated Tang Hao and his entire family the moment Tang Hao showed hostility toward him was already an act of restraint. Otherwise, they would've fast-forwarded to the Clear Sky Clan being utterly devastated by now.
The two, each harboring their schemes, faced off for a long time. Finally, realizing there was no chance of success, Tang Hao reluctantly left. Under the cover of the night, he ran toward Shrek Academy to continue spying on Xiao Wu and Tang San. Only after Tang Hao left Souto City's range did Chen Ming wave his black cloak, instantly returning to his room. Changing his outfit, he then stepped out, feigning shock.
Earlier, Ning Rongrong's guards had confirmed that Chen Ming wasn't in his room. However, due to Dugu Bo's presence, everyone assumed that Chen Ming had been placed under Dugu Bo's special protection.
After all, Chen Ming was Dugu Bo's only disciple and future son-in-law. Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he held a status comparable to, if not higher than, Ning Rongrong's. Even if something happened to Ning Rongrong, Chen Ming was unlikely to be harmed under these circumstances.
Now, seeing Chen Ming patting his chest and acting as if he had just witnessed something incredible, the old Soul Sage finally breathed a sigh of relief. He approached Chen Ming with a flattering smile.
"Young friend Chen Ming, may I ask about the observer from earlier?"
"That observer has already been driven away by my grandfather," Chen Ming replied slowly, patting his chest and sighing before continuing.
"That person was a Title Douluo. According to my grandfather, his strength could be considered formidable even among Title Douluos. His aura was incredibly profound. Across the continent, he's unlikely to be an unknown figure. However, he was wearing a black cloak and didn't reveal his martial soul during the brief confrontation, clearly harboring ulterior motives."
"Fortunately, we have strong protectors here. Otherwise, if he truly attacked, I doubt anyone would've survived."
"May I ask, has Rongrong offended anyone on this journey?" Chen Ming asked with a puzzled expression. "If that Title Douluo was targeting us, my grandfather would've noticed it long ago. There's no way someone would chase us into Souto City for no reason."
"This..." The old Soul Sage frowned upon hearing this and began to ponder.
A Title Douluo targeting someone might escape many people's notice, but it would be difficult to hide from the now Super Douluo-level Poison Douluo. If Title Douluo had genuinely been after Chen Ming, he would've already been discovered by Poison Douluo, who was secretly protecting them.
Could it be that someone was targeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?
Thinking about it, the old Soul Sage realized that Ning Rongrong hadn't done anything particularly offensive on this trip. The only thing remotely offensive, possibly enough to be targeted by a Title Douluo, was the incident at Shrek Academy earlier today.
But as for Shrek, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had investigated them thoroughly long ago. Forget about a Title Douluo—there wasn't even a Soul Douluo among them. Currently, the entire academy has only two Soul Sages. The dean, Flender, had already been crippled long ago, and it would be a miracle if half of his combat strength remained. His strength wasn't improving; in fact, it was declining.
That Strength-type Soul Master with the Unmovable King Zhao Wuji had decent strength, but in this lifetime, he had no chance of ever reaching Title Douluo.
Moreover, this group didn't have any significant background or connections to a Title Douluo.
Could it be that some faction's Title Douluo was planning to assassinate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's little princess? But why?
Everyone knew that Ning Rongrong was favored, but it was also clear that the clan's heir had been decided decades ago.
The clan leader, Ning Fengzhi, married at fourteen and had a son at sixteen. Now, his eldest grandson had already been born, and they were preparing for future marriage alliances.
The heir and the next heir had been decided decades ago. Even if Ning Rongrong was favored, she couldn't become the heir.
Under these circumstances, who would bother to assassinate Ning Rongrong? If someone wanted to cause trouble, shouldn't they be targeting the heir and the next heir instead?
To put it bluntly, what's the point of a Title Douluo attacking a vase like her? What would they gain from it?
