Chapter 168 Tang Hao's 10-Year Soul Ring
After cursing the heavens and blaming fate in my heart.
"Gurgle!"
My hungry stomach is making loud protesting noises.
Tang San crawled to his mother Cuihua's side, skillfully found the largest nipple, took it in his mouth, and began to suckle greedily.
After filling his stomach, Tang San hurriedly distanced himself from Cuihua, his eyes filled with disgust.
Tang San never regarded Cuihua as his mother; in his eyes, she was nothing more than a lowly beast.
This action perfectly illustrates the saying "eat from the bowl, then curse the cook."
Not only Cuihua, but Tang San also did not regard Tang Hao as his father.
Because his so-called cheap father also regarded him as an animal.
Tang Hao was naturally unaware of Tang San's thoughts. At this moment, all he could think about was his ninth spirit ring.
He had originally planned to make Ah Yin his ninth spirit ring.
However, what's infuriating is that someone else beat them to it.
Regardless, Tang Hao has seen a lot in his life, and now he no longer looks down on ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
This time, Tang Hao's target is a 10-year-old soul beast.
He wanted to find himself a 10-year soul ring if possible.
There's a saying in the world of Soul Masters that the prerequisite for becoming a level 99 Peerless Douluo is possessing a 10-year Soul Ring.
Tang Hao didn't know if this statement was true or false, but in order to avenge himself and wash away the shame of the Rat Sect, he had to find a way to increase his own strength.
Sure enough, on the tenth day of searching deep into the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Hao was fortunate enough to make a harvest.
He was hiding in the shadows, quietly observing two figures on the open ground not far away.
A woman, who looked to be around thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, was dressed in simple cloth clothes.
At first glance, she appears to be just an ordinary farm woman.
Beside her was a white, soft-boned rabbit.
At that moment, the woman was playing with a wooden comb in her hand.
"Mommy, this comb is so pretty! How come it's made of purple wood?" the rabbit exclaimed, her sweet voice echoing through the forest.
The woman smiled slightly, "Silly girl, this was made by your mother from sandalwood. Since you have made your choice, then your mother will give you this comb."
In the future, if you truly find a man you love, then let him comb your hair with this comb. A woman's hair, in her lifetime, can only be combed by one man. Mom wishes you well. I hope that one day you will find the man with whom you can entrust your long hair.
"..."
In the dark.
Excitement gleamed in Tang Hao's eyes.
Normally, only soul beasts that are 100,000 years old can speak.
This rabbit was clearly not as docile and harmless as it appeared on the surface; its cultivation level was already incredibly close to 100,000 years, and it could break through at any moment.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast, and that woman, should also be a soul beast in human form.
But this woman's cultivation level had already reached the level of a Soul Douluo.
No problem, even if a transformed soul beast reaches maturity, it can still generate a soul ring after being killed.
At this moment, Tang Hao was extremely excited, as if he could already see himself dominating the world with invincible power after obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring, reigning supreme over the soul master world, and overthrowing the Spirit Hall.
With the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit on the continent, Tang Hao was confident that he could kill either the Soft Bone Rabbit or the woman. However, it would be more difficult to attack the two of them together.
Tang Hao patiently waited for the opportunity when they were alone.
Unfortunately, Tang Hao's luck didn't seem to be so good.
Just as he was patiently waiting.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
With a deafening roar, the lightning blasted the bushes where Tang Hao was hiding into ashes, instantly revealing his figure.
The woman and the soft-boned rabbit were naturally attracted by the commotion and turned to look.
The human and the rabbit instantly became alert. They realized that someone had been secretly watching them the whole time, and they hadn't noticed at all.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" the woman asked warily.
Before Tang Hao could speak, a deep, muffled voice came from behind him.
"He's just a big rat. This rat has his eye on your spirit rings and wants to turn you into his ninth spirit ring."
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a figure slowly walking towards them from behind Tang Hao.
White clothes and white mask.
Upon seeing this iconic outfit, Tang Hao's bull-like eyes immediately flashed with resentment.
"It's you again." These three words were almost squeezed out from between Tang Hao's teeth, which showed how deep his hatred was.
Lin Ye smiled broadly, "Tang Hao, long time no see! Congratulations on breaking through to level 90."
"What are you going to do now?" Tang Hao's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and a very ominous feeling suddenly arose in his heart, causing him to have second thoughts.
It's no wonder he's timid; every time Lin Ye appears, it's never a good thing for Tang Hao.
For the first time, he lost Ah Yin.
The second time, the Rat Clan encountered a great calamity and was almost wiped out.
This time, it was clearly aimed at him as well.
Lin Ye looked at the mother and daughter not far away and said, "If you two don't want to become his spirit rings, then work together to help me hold him off."
"Mom?" The Soft-Boned Rabbit looked at the woman with a questioning gaze.
"Do it." The woman hesitated almost without hesitation. Tang Hao wanted her and her daughter's spirit rings, and she naturally knew how to choose.
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman moved closer to Tang Hao.
The same applies to the soft-boned rabbit.
In an instant, the roles of offense and defense shifted dramatically.
The mother and daughter, whom Tang Hao had initially viewed as prey, aggressively surrounded him.
"Damn it." Tang Hao was furious when he saw the three of them attacking him at the same time. He knew that this was going to be a disaster.
"Martial Soul True Form".
Tang Hao summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, and his seventh spirit ring lit up. The Clear Sky Hammer swelled to several hundred meters in the wind, resembling a huge small mountain.
Tang Hao swung his enormous hammer and smashed it down hard on the Soft Bone Rabbit.
Compared to the Haotian Hammer, the Soft Bone Rabbit seemed so insignificant.
Surprisingly, the Soft-Boned Rabbit neither dodged nor flinched.
The Haotian Hammer crashed down, taking the Soft Bone Rabbit with it, and smashed a huge crater in the ground, sending dust flying.
Seeing this, Tang Hao showed no joy. A 100,000-year-old soul beast could not be so easily dealt with.
He swung the Haotian Hammer again, intending to smash it at the woman rushing towards him.
The woman's spirit rings shone brightly, and her eyes instantly glowed pink.
Tang Hao was instantly affected by it, his movements stopped, and his eyes briefly lost focus.
Just then, the Soft-Boned Rabbit leaped out of the deep pit, its body suddenly radiating a dazzling golden light, completely unharmed.
Taking advantage of Tang Hao's unconsciousness, the Soft Bone Rabbit quickly ran to Tang Hao's side, its hind leg muscles taut, like a fully drawn bowstring.
In an instant, the white rabbit, like a white lightning bolt, kicked out with its hind legs with tremendous force, executing a move called "Rabbit Kicks Eagle," striking Tang Hao squarely between the legs...
"Awooo..." Tang Hao's bull-like eyes suddenly widened, and he let out a miserable, inhuman scream.
Under this immense force, Tang Hao was sent flying dozens of meters into the air, then arced through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Aaaaaahhhhh..." Tang Hao screamed loudly, clutching his wounds tightly with both hands, his body bent over like a shrimp.
With just this one move, Tang Hao was completely rendered powerless to fight.
Seeing this, Lin Ye's lips twitched involuntarily a few times. "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, you're really something."
I originally thought it would take at least several dozen rounds to subdue Tang Hao. I never expected Xiao Wu to use this move. Of all places to kick, she had to kick that one spot! And that spot isn't something you can just kick randomly.
That's an extremely insidious trick!
However, it must be admitted that the effect is extremely remarkable.
Lin Ye guessed that Tang Hao was probably already in deep trouble this time.
"Huh? How do you know my name? And who are you? Why are you helping us?" Xiao Wu looked at Lin Ye with a lot of doubts and asked three questions in a row. Even her mother, A Rou, turned her gaze over.
Xiao Wu's mother is named A Rou, the "Rou" in "Rou Gu Tu" (a type of rabbit).
Lin Ye glanced at her but did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze to Xiao Wu's mother, A Rou, and said, "How about we talk in private?"
Arou nodded slightly. Judging from Lin Ye's earlier warnings, this person probably meant no harm.
However, she was also very curious as to how this person knew Xiao Wu's name.
Furthermore, Soul Kings are usually submissive in front of her, but this girl is completely calm and composed when facing her and that level 90 human Soul Master, appearing very confident.
What exactly is he relying on?
Filled with these doubts, Arou and Lin Ye walked a short distance away and whispered to each other, leaving Xiaowu to watch over Tang Hao in case the old man took the opportunity to escape.
Lin Ye walked a little further away, and after confirming that Tang Hao and Xiao Wu couldn't hear his conversation with Arou, he got straight to the point.
He looked at Arou and said, "Speaking of which, I should call you mother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Arou was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.
Regardless of her thoughts, Lin Ye continued, "I am not from this timeline, but rather I traveled from the future, 17 years from now. I know this sounds incredibly absurd, but please let me finish before you raise any questions."
Even if I hadn't come, Tang Hao couldn't have done anything to you during this crisis.
Oh right, Tang Hao is the guy whose balls were kicked and shattered by Xiao Wu.
However, in a few years, a group of people will enter the Star Dou Great Forest. Their target is you and Xiao Wu, and you will be hunted down by them.
After you passed away, Xiao Wu entered the human world to seek revenge, and that's when I caught her...
This time, it was Xiao Wu who begged me to come and save you…”
Lin Ye did his best to give Arou a concise and clear account of what had happened.
Arou was skeptical, clearly still doubting Lin Ye's words.
Seeing this, Lin Ye took out something and handed it to Arou, saying, "This was given to me by Xiao Wu before she left. She said that after seeing this, you will believe me."
It was a wooden comb, seemingly ordinary, but made of exceptionally fine wood. The deep purple comb had incredibly delicate wood grain, felt hard and resilient to the touch, and emitted a faint woody fragrance.
"This is..." Arou looked surprised, and then took out a comb from her bosom.
Compare the two combs side by side.
Well, it's not just similar, it's practically identical.
Even the wood grain on them is exactly the same.
This wooden comb is made of the finest sandalwood and was handcrafted by Ah-rou herself.
At this point, Arou finally believed Lin Ye's words.
"Thank you," Arou said sincerely.
Lin Ye nodded slightly and continued, "Xiao Wu should be transforming into a human soon. After that, you should try to stay with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python as much as possible. This way, your safety will be greatly guaranteed."
If you unfortunately encounter members of the Spirit Hall again, just state my name, Li Feiyu.
Since transmigrating, Lin Ye has always used a pseudonym in the Spirit Hall.
His name might not be taken seriously by others, but it was definitely effective for Bibi Dong.
Because Bibi Dong knew that if she angered him, Yu Xiaogang would be the one to suffer in the end.
In the original historical trajectory, Arou was hunted down by Bibi Dong and her people, becoming the soul ring of her second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Lin Ye's actions will directly cause Bibi Dong to lose a 100,000-year soul ring.
However, Lin Ye didn't seem to care much about it.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Once Xiao Wu turns six and awakens her martial soul, let her go to the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. I will wait for her there."
"Okay, I understand." Arou nodded without hesitation.
"Sigh!" Lin Ye suddenly sighed deeply.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Arou asked.
Lin Ye sighed helplessly, "I've essentially given up on four 100,000-year soul rings."
He had other ideas, such as simply changing history so that Xiao Wu could stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and never leave.
In this way, he and Xiao Wu would never meet again in Notting City, and naturally, there would be no subsequent development of feelings between them.
In this way, giving up a woman in exchange for four 100,000-year soul rings is an incredible win!
Of course, this is just a thought. After all, they have lived together and spent so many years together. Lin Ye cannot be so heartless and ruthless. He cannot get past the hurdle in his own heart.
Upon hearing this, Arou was initially puzzled, but after a moment's thought, she realized that she, Xiaowu, and Daming and Erming together made up four 100,000-year soul rings.
She finally understood the deeper meaning behind her son-in-law's words.
She knew all too well what a 100,000-year soul ring meant to a soul master.
But Lin Ye was willing to give up four 100,000-year soul rings for Xiao Wu.
It seemed that Xiao Wu had indeed found a good man to entrust her life to, Arou thought to herself, her gaze towards Lin Ye softening even more. (End of Chapter)
