Chapter 4: How to Drive Tang Hao Away?

Focusing on the "Summoning Flag" soul weapon and the "Meditation" skill, which were both in auto-hang mode, after a few seconds, Chu Chengzhou, who had been extremely happy moments ago, couldn't help but darken his face.

"Trash!"

With a grim expression, Chu Chengzhou cursed inwardly.

This auto-hang system wasn't as good as he had hoped. His Summoning Flag soul weapon required a full hundred days to upgrade from ordinary to advanced quality.

And the Meditation skill also turned out to be different from what he had expected.

Before, Chu Chengzhou thought that if he just hung the Meditation skill, his soul power would skyrocket, and he would immediately be on the path to greatness.

After all, meditation requires mental energy, and lower-level soul masters can't maintain continuous soul power cultivation. But with auto-hang, he thought it would be a huge boost in efficiency.

Unfortunately, the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was harsh, and it gave him a heavy blow.

It took a month for the gray-level Meditation skill to upgrade to white-level, and it couldn't even be upgraded while lying down. The only thing that would improve was the skill level.

"With my ordinary quality soul weapon and half-level innate soul power, I should be able to raise my soul power by one level in a year with hard work, right?"

Chu Chengzhou thought uncertainly.

Of course, with the current state, it would take a year to raise one level in the Soul Master phase.

He believed that improving the Meditation skill would speed up his soul power cultivation, and upgrading the soul weapon's quality would likely improve his poor innate talent.

Actually, Chu Chengzhou believed that the mutation of his soul weapon wasn't inherently good or bad.

The reason mutations were considered bad was often because the soul master's talent was too weak to support a powerful soul weapon.

Take his mother's Blaze Flag soul weapon, for example. It could only make fire and nothing else. If the quality were the same, it would be inferior to the Summoning Flag soul weapon, which could summon soul beasts.

Similarly, Yu Xiaogang's Three Cannon soul weapon was also considered weak, but if its essence wasn't strong, how could it work with Flender and Liu Erlong to trigger the Three-Way Soul Fusion Skill: Golden Sacred Dragon?

Tang Yuehua was also like this—if her mutated soul weapon were truly bad, how could she, a one-ring soul master, possess a domain?

Most Title Douluo didn't even have a domain, so it was clear that the problem wasn't with mutated soul weapons, but with the soul master themselves.

As a fellow super waste, Chu Chengzhou made it clear that he wasn't looking down on Tang Yuehua.

Now that the system was in place, Chu Chengzhou started to look forward to a brighter future. With the starting point of Notting City and the timeline being similar to the original plot, he would inevitably have to deal with Tang San and the mischievous rabbit, Xiao Wu.

Although the rabbit had violent tendencies and was a "terrifying" ten-thousand-year-old transformed soul beast, it wasn't that dangerous.

Before Xiao Wu's soul beast transformation identity was exposed, there would be no life-threatening danger, whether they became friends or just passing acquaintances.

But Tang San was different. If he became friends with him, he would eventually have to worry about clashing with the Spirit Hall.

He had no grudges with the Spirit Hall, and he didn't want to go against such a huge organization.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the fact that the Qian Renxue was beautiful and cool.

Going against Tang San?

Although he had the system, Chu Chengzhou considered himself more of a late-bloomer and definitely couldn't beat Tang San in the early stages.

Moreover, Tang San often talked about "ways to die" and would occasionally try to take someone's life. Who knew when his hidden weapons might kill him?

Being friends wasn't suitable, and going against him was impossible. So what about being a bystander?

It seemed like a good idea, but in reality, it wasn't suitable either.

With the system in hand, his future strength would far exceed his surface-level "waste" talent. What if Tang San or his father, Tang Hao, started eyeing him?

If they really took an interest in him, Chu Chengzhou couldn't guarantee that he could remain silent.

And keeping secrets wasn't practical on the Douluo Continent. With hypnosis-type mental skills, as long as it wasn't blocked, he would probably end up revealing everything, even the color of his underwear.

"How about driving these two father-son pair away?"

Nothing seemed to work, and Chu Chengzhou began to consider the idea of driving Tang Hao and his son away.

So the question was, how could he get rid of them?

After thinking for a long time, Chu Chengzhou came up with an idea.

His grandfather was the dean of the Notting City Primary Soul Master Academy, so Chu Chengzhou remembered clearly that the academy's start date was in early April every year, and the academic year was one semester.

His birthday was in early February of the Douluo calendar, one year older than Tang San. In early April next year, three months after Tang San awakened his soul weapon, he would be going to the academy.

So, after January of next year, he could anonymously send a letter to the Spirit Hall, leaking Tang Hao's whereabouts, and that would drive the father and son away.

Although the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, wasn't killed by Tang Hao, since the real killer was Bibi Dong, this crime would be pinned on Tang Hao.

Chu Chengzhou believed that once the Spirit Hall learned of Tang Hao's whereabouts, they would definitely send people to deal with him.

Whether the Spirit Hall's experts could defeat Tang Hao or not, one thing was for sure: Tang Hao and his son would definitely not stay in Notting City.

"No, no, no. I can't send a report to the Spirit Hall. I should send a 'message' to Tang Hao instead!"

Suddenly, Chu Chengzhou shook his head, changing his strategy. If the Spirit Hall sent experts after receiving the report, there was a high chance they would fight Tang Hao.

The battle between Title Douluo would cause a huge commotion, and the aftermath would be terrifying. What if they scared off the mischievous rabbit, Xiao Wu?

Of course, that wasn't the main issue.

The main issue was if the Spirit Hall sent high-level experts, above level 95, and there was more than one, Tang Hao might not be able to handle them.

In that case, he might run to Notting City, using the city as a battleground, and potentially take the entire city's civilians as hostages to escape.

The Haotian Sect had been reclusive for years and didn't need to worry about its reputation. Taking hostages wasn't a big deal.

But the Spirit Hall's stance was to protect civilians, and if they stood by and did nothing, their reputation would be ruined.

Although this scenario wasn't very likely, Chu Chengzhou had to be cautious.

There was no way around it. After all, he was in Notting City, and the aftermath of a Title Douluo battle was too dangerous.

The safest approach was to wait until Tang San awakened his soul weapon, then write an anonymous letter to Tang Hao, warning him that his identity had been exposed and that he should flee with his son. That way, there would be no unforeseen risks.
