Chapter 158: Everyone Knows Tang Hao is Ungrateful

Chapter 158: Everyone Knows Tang Hao is Ungrateful

"I know what Uncle Ning wants to ask, but it's impossible."

"This self-created soul skill can only be used by me."

Su Mo shook his head.

"I see, that's a shame."

Ning Fengzhi sighed in disappointment before continuing, "Then, if you don't bring others with you, can you activate this soul skill in a simpler and faster way?"

"Yes, if I don't carry anyone else, I can teleport instantly."

This time, Su Mo nodded firmly.

"Does that mean that if you're in danger, you can escape at any time?"

Ning Fengzhi immediately followed up with another question.

"Exactly."

Su Mo confirmed once again.

"Hahaha, excellent!"

"Su Mo, your self-created soul skill is truly astonishing. With this ability, you are naturally in an unbeatable position."

Hearing Su Mo's confident response, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed and kept praising him.

"This really is an unbeatable skill."

Bone Douluo also exclaimed in shock.

"Rongrong, Su Mo's soul skill is way too powerful…"

Ye Lingling clung to Ning Rongrong's arm, staring at Su Mo with amazement and admiration.

"Of course! He's Su Mo, after all."

Hearing Ye Lingling's admiration, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel proud.

"Hmm, there's something I hadn't mentioned before—actually, when I was in Slaughter City, I was also hunted down by a powerful figure. I only survived because of my long-range teleportation ability."

Su Mo nodded, then as if recalling something, he spoke about being chased in Slaughter City.

He was preparing to reveal Tang Hao's involvement so that Ning Fengzhi and the others would know that Tang Hao was targeting him. This would also subtly indicate that the Clear Sky Sect might become their enemy in the future.

That way, if Su Mo successfully cooperated with Spirit Hall, he could persuade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to align with Spirit Hall as well.

"What? There was someone that powerful inside Slaughter City?"

"Who was it?"

Bone Douluo and the others were stunned.

They were well aware that soul rings and soul skills couldn't be used inside Slaughter City, and they knew just how strong Su Mo was under such restrictions.

Back then, even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo together weren't a match for Su Mo.

Now, hearing that someone inside Slaughter City had been able to chase after Su Mo, they were naturally shocked.

"I suspect it was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."

Su Mo's expression became slightly solemn as he revealed his suspicion.

Even though Tang Hao had never shown his face, Su Mo was certain that it was him.

"What?"

"Tang Hao?"

"Are you sure?"

"Tang Hao was in Slaughter City?"

The moment Su Mo said the name, Ning Fengzhi and the others were completely taken aback.

Especially Sword Douluo, whose face was filled with disbelief.

He knew Tang Hao. Back when he visited Shrek Academy to see Su Mo, he had met Tang Hao and learned that Tang San was his son.

At that time, he had given Tang Hao some respect—he had refrained from attacking Xiao Wu and had not caused trouble for Shrek Academy.

Even after returning to the sect, Sword Douluo had never mentioned Tang Hao's presence.

Tang Hao had even said that he owed Sword Douluo a favor for that.

Yet, if Tang Hao really had attacked Su Mo in Slaughter City, then it would mean that Tang Hao had repaid kindness with betrayal.

How could he, after owing Sword Douluo a favor, still attack someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

"Su Mo, are you certain that person was Tang Hao?"

Sword Douluo immediately pressed for confirmation.

"Yes, his martial soul was Clear Sky Hammer, and his strength was overwhelming. Other than him, I can't think of anyone else who fits the description."

"Also, I suspect he's Tang San's father. He attacked me right after Tang San entered Slaughter City—he must have been protecting Tang San."

Su Mo replied with certainty.

"What? Tang San entered Slaughter City?"

"And he's Tang Hao's son?"

Ning Fengzhi and the others were even more shocked.

Only Sword Douluo, upon hearing Su Mo's words, felt his heart tremble.

Now, he was almost completely certain that the person who attacked Su Mo was indeed Tang Hao.

Others might still have doubts, but Sword Douluo knew the truth—Tang San and Tang Hao were definitely father and son.

"Su Mo, what made you suspect that Tang San is Tang Hao's son?"

Bone Douluo asked.

Ning Rongrong and the others also turned to Su Mo with curiosity.

They knew Tang San well, but they had never considered that he might be the son of the legendary Tang Hao.

Hearing Bone Douluo's question, Sword Douluo remained silent.

He already knew the truth, but he wanted to see how Su Mo had figured it out.

"Tang San's twin martial souls—you all know one of them is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Back when we were at Shrek Academy, and we were about to join Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Xiao Wu's identity as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was exposed. That was when a Titled Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer appeared and took Xiao Wu away from Poison Douluo."

"Later, we saw Xiao Wu again in Star Dou Forest, and she was completely fine."

"That means the person who saved her must have had a close relationship with Tang San—otherwise, why would he risk his life to save a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

"The most likely person to do that would be Tang San's father, since they both have the Clear Sky Hammer."

"So I'm certain that the person who attacked me in Slaughter City was the same one who rescued Xiao Wu back then."

Su Mo explained his reasoning.

"This…"

"That actually makes a lot of sense."

After hearing Su Mo's deduction, Ning Fengzhi and the others were visibly shaken.

Even if they didn't fully believe that person was Tang Hao, they now had no doubt that he was closely connected to Tang San.

"Lord Sect Master, Su Mo is right. That person was indeed Tang Hao."

At that moment, Sword Douluo finally spoke, confirming Su Mo's suspicion.

Then, he revealed that he had encountered Tang Hao at Shrek Academy before.

"So it really was Tang Hao… And Tang San is his son?"

"No wonder… No wonder Tang San is so talented…"

After hearing Sword Douluo's confirmation, Ning Fengzhi and the others suddenly understood.

If Tang San was Tang Hao's son, it explained why his talent was so terrifying.

After all, Tang Hao was one of the youngest Titled Douluo in history—it only made sense that his son would inherit his incredible potential.

"But why? Why would he attack Su Mo?"

"Back then, he owed Uncle Jian a favor. Now, not only does he refuse to repay it, but he also attacks Su Mo. Isn't that utterly shameless?"

Ning Fengzhi quickly furrowed his brows, his confusion soon turning into anger.

He had no hesitation in criticizing Tang Hao.

There was no way Tang Hao didn't know about Su Mo's close relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"What's there to analyze? If he dares to attack Su Mo, then he is already an enemy of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"It's no wonder the Spirit Hall issued a bounty on him. He certainly had it coming!"

Bone Douluo also spoke angrily.

To him, the reason behind Tang Hao's attack didn't matter—what mattered was that Tang Hao had indeed tried to kill Su Mo.

"I never expected Tang San's father to be such a despicable man!"

"Absolutely shameless!"

"And he calls himself a Titled Douluo? Attacking a junior like this—he has no dignity at all!"

Ning Rongrong fumed, cursing in anger.

"That's right, Rongrong is absolutely right!"

Ye Lingling quickly agreed.

"Su Mo, do you know why Tang Hao attacked you?"

Sword Douluo remained the most composed. He couldn't understand why Tang Hao would suddenly make a move against Su Mo, so he asked him directly.

He figured Su Mo might have some idea.

"I do have a guess..."

Hearing Sword Douluo's question, Su Mo nodded, then proceeded to explain his reasoning.

"…Other than this, I can't think of any other possible reason."

"That must be it!"

Ning Fengzhi immediately agreed with Su Mo's analysis.

Previously, when he learned that Su Mo had created the Soul Weapon Fusion and Spirit Refinement, he had already realized these innovations could change the entire world of soul masters.

However, he hadn't thought deeply about the consequences.

But now that Su Mo pointed it out, he instantly understood why Tang Hao wanted to kill him.

It was to prevent Su Mo's innovations from spreading across the soul master world.

If Ning Fengzhi were the leader of the Clear Sky Sect, he might have done the same.

"Shameless! I never imagined that the mighty Clear Sky Douluo would be such a despicable coward!"

But since the one being targeted was his future son-in-law, Ning Fengzhi could not tolerate it. He immediately lashed out at Tang Hao.

"Ungrateful traitor!"

"Shameless scum!"

"A disgrace to the title of Douluo!"

"Attacking Su Mo just for this? Absolutely vile!"

Ning Rongrong was even more furious, unleashing a string of curses.

She couldn't believe that Tang Hao would try to kill Su Mo just because he was too talented.

"Su Mo, what do you plan to do next?"

Ning Fengzhi finally turned to Su Mo for his decision.

If Su Mo had been wronged, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would certainly seek justice on his behalf.

However, since Tang Hao had been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, they couldn't simply confront the sect directly.

Still, if Su Mo wanted revenge, they would support him.

"As for Soul Weapon Fusion and Spirit Refinement, I had already planned to make them public at some point."

"Since Tang Hao is so desperate to stop me from spreading them, I'll release them to the world right away."

"As for settling scores with Tang Hao, there's no rush. He won't be leaving Slaughter City anytime soon."

"Confronting the Clear Sky Sect directly isn't ideal either, so we'll act as if we don't know that Tang Hao was the one who attacked me."

"When my strength is sufficient, I'll personally settle the score with him!"

Su Mo quickly made his stance clear.

Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't know the current state of the Clear Sky Sect, but Su Mo did.

Ten years ago, aside from Tang Hao, the sect had no other Titled Douluo.

But now?

Including Sect Master Tang Xiao, the Clear Sky Sect had seven Titled Douluo.

If Tang Hao were counted, there would be eight.

If this news spread, the entire soul master world would be shocked.

Back then, the only reason the Clear Sky Sect had been forced to go into hiding was because they were too weak.

After their previous sect master died, they had no more Titled Douluo to protect them.

But now, not counting Tang Hao, they had seven.

Who wouldn't be astonished by that?

For comparison:

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, also one of the top three sects, had only one Titled Douluo.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two.

Clearly, the Clear Sky Sect had surpassed them all in terms of top-tier strength.

At this point, seeking direct confrontation with them wasn't worth it.

Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo fought together with Ning Fengzhi's support, they still wouldn't be able to shake the Clear Sky Sect.

Instead, Su Mo had a better idea—since Tang Hao feared the spread of Soul Weapon Fusion and Spirit Refinement, he would ensure they became widespread knowledge.

That would be the best revenge.

Of course, when the time was right, he would still personally take down Tang Hao.

That would come later.

But for now, publicly revealing Soul Weapon Fusion and Spirit Refinement was already part of Su Mo's long-term plan.

After all, doing so would build his reputation.

In the future, whether he chose to become a god through divine inheritance or by creating his own godhood, having widespread recognition would be beneficial.

Reputation could easily translate into faith, and faith was extremely valuable.

"You're really going to do it?"

"This isn't a small matter. As Tang Hao's actions have already proven, while many will be grateful to you, many others will see you as a threat!"

Ning Fengzhi's tone became serious.

"It's fine. Uncle Ning, you already know my abilities—if I ever need to escape, no one can stop me."

Su Mo replied confidently with a smile.

Ever since gaining long-range teleportation, his confidence had soared.

Even Tang Hao couldn't kill him. Who else did he need to fear?

"Very well, since you've made up your mind, I'll help you make it public."

"After all, in the grand scheme of things, this is a great contribution to the world of soul masters."

Seeing Su Mo's confidence, Ning Fengzhi didn't argue any further and quickly agreed.

This was, after all, a major breakthrough.

It would earn the favor of almost every Tool Spirit Soul Master in existence.

As for Beast Spirit Soul Masters, they could simply tell them that Su Mo was still researching a way to enhance their abilities, and once he succeeded, he would make that knowledge public as well.

"Leave it to me. For now, let's focus on hunting your sixth soul ring."

"By the way, Su Mo, what kind of soul ring are you looking for this time?"

After settling the matter, Ning Fengzhi shifted the conversation back to the immediate task.

"As long as it's below eighty thousand years, it'll do."

Su Mo quickly shifted his focus back to hunting for his soul ring and gave his answer.
