Chapter 158: Tang Hao Sneaks into Heaven Dou Empire!
Gu Yuena's reply once again cleared up her confusion.
[Silver Dragon: This is very simple. As far as I know, the core primary attributes of the Angel God have always been holiness and light.]
[Silver Dragon: As for flame, it is merely a secondary attribute that comes along with it.]
[Silver Dragon: So your two primary attributes, holiness and light, have most likely already reached the ultimate level, belonging to dual ultimates.]
[Silver Dragon King: As for that accompanying fire attribute, it clearly has not yet reached the ultimate level.]
{T/N: I feel that the author of Douluo Dalu shouldn't have planned for future parts initially. However, after witnessing its popularity, he continued to write subsequent installments. As a result, there are many inconsistencies in various settings, such as the combat power of soul beasts, ultimate attributes, etc.
Regarding this, I think Qian Renxue should have the Ultimate Holiness attribute. For light and fire, they should be at the Quasi-Ultimate level. The reason, according to conspiracy theories, is that the Sea God should have snatched the Angel God's Light Authority (e.g., the Sea God's light).}
...
While the girls were still engaged in a heated discussion within the chat group, in the shadows of the academy, a black-robed figure silently appeared.
This person was tall, his entire body shrouded in a wide black cloak, exuding an aura of coldness and desolation that kept strangers away.
He was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, who had secretly rushed here all the way from the remote Nuoding City.
Tang Hao concealed himself within the shadows. With the immense spiritual power of a Titled Douluo, he quickly locked onto his target.
Without much effort, he located the girls' dormitory where Xiao Wu was staying.
However, standing on a large tree outside the dormitory building, Tang Hao's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with confusion.
"What's going on?"
Tang Hao muttered inwardly.
It had only been a little over two years since they last met, so why had the unique aura belonging to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast on Xiao Wu's body completely disappeared?
This simply defied common sense.
Moreover, Tang Hao suddenly recalled something Yu Xiaogang had once told him back in Nuoding City.
Not long after he left Nuoding City, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and the Sword Douluo Chen Xin had taken Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong to Nuoding Academy.
But at that time, did those two powerful Titled Douluo really not notice Xiao Wu's identity as a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast?
At this thought, Tang Hao even felt a fleeting doubt about his own perception.
"Could it be that when I was at Nuoding Academy before, I sensed it wrong?"
"Could Xiao Wu not actually be a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast but just an ordinary civilian genius?"
But this absurd idea lasted only a brief moment before he decisively rejected it.
Impossible!
He, Tang Hao, possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring himself!
Moreover, his wife, Ah Yin, was originally a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul beast that had taken human form.
He had once lived day and night with a transformed soul beast. He was more sensitive than anyone to that kind of aura. Anyone else in this world might misjudge it, but he absolutely would not!
"Since my perception wasn't wrong, then the only explanation is…"
Tang Hao's gaze grew deep.
"Xiao Wu must have suddenly obtained some unparalleled treasure capable of perfectly concealing a soul beast's aura."
Following this line of thought, Tang Hao immediately connected it to the unusually close relationship between Xiao Wu and Lin Yuan.
This treasure on her was very likely given by that young man named Lin Yuan.
Or, to be more precise, it was given by the mysterious Titled Douluo teacher behind Lin Yuan!
Only something at the level of a Titled Douluo could deceive the detection of other Titled Douluo.
However, Tang Hao did not know that his act of releasing spiritual power to probe Xiao Wu had already violated a major taboo.
His sudden appearance at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, along with that subtle spiritual fluctuation, had clearly caught Zhao Yun's attention.
In truth, if Tang Hao had merely remained hidden without using his spiritual power to probe forcefully, even Zhao Yun might not have been able to sense his presence without deliberately conducting a wide-area search.
But Tang Hao's mistake was precisely in using his spiritual power, and worse, targeting Xiao Wu!
Although Zhao Yun's primary duty was to protect his lord Lin Yuan personally,
Xiao Wu shared an extremely close relationship with Lin Yuan and was even acknowledged by him as his sworn younger sister.
While Zhao Yun could not remain constantly by Xiao Wu's side, according to Lin Yuan's earlier instructions, to prevent any accidents, Zhao Yun had already left a hidden spiritual mark on Xiao Wu.
As long as Xiao Wu encountered any danger or was maliciously locked onto by powerful spiritual power, through that mark, Zhao Yun would immediately detect it and appear at the fastest possible speed.
As soon as Tang Hao's spiritual power touched the dormitory building,
Zhao Yun instantly sensed the presence of this uninvited guest. His figure flashed, and he appeared directly inside Lin Yuan's room.
"My lord."
Zhao Yun knelt on one knee, his expression stern as he reported, "A suspicious individual has appeared near Miss Xiao Wu's dormitory."
"The other party has released spiritual power and seems to intend harm. Shall we take action immediately?"
Upon hearing this report, Lin Yuan already had a clear answer in his heart regarding the identity of this sudden intruder.
But to confirm, he still asked, "Zilong, does this person have any distinctive appearance?"
Zhao Yun recalled the image returned by his spiritual perception and replied truthfully, "Reporting to my lord, this person is wrapped tightly in a wide black cloak."
"Moreover, his face looks extremely weathered, with unkempt stubble, rather sloppy."
Hearing this description, Lin Yuan sneered inwardly.
Although Tang Hao was very confident in his concealment methods, he was ultimately a power attack system, not an agility attack system Titled Douluo like Gui Mei, who specialized in stealth and assassination.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yun was now a top-tier powerhouse possessing dual soul cores of lightning and spirit!
His spiritual perception had reached an unimaginable level.
Thus, Zhao Yun could easily see through Tang Hao's so-called perfect disguise and appearance from afar.
Lin Yuan stood up, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "A Titled Douluo with such a sloppy image… There aren't many like that across the continent."
"Then this person must be Tang Hao."
Looking at Zhao Yun, Lin Yuan issued his command, "Zilong, go immediately and warn him."
"Give him a lesson so that he never again dares to covet Xiao Wu's soul ring and soul bone!"
Zhao Yun shook his spear, cupped his fist, and responded in a deep voice, "As you command, my lord!"
In the next moment, Zhao Yun's figure vanished amidst a burst of silver lightning.
...
On the large tree outside the girls' dormitory.
Tang Hao was just about to move closer to further investigate Xiao Wu's condition.
Suddenly, every hair on his body stood on end, and a fatal sense of danger instantly enveloped him!
"Who?!"
Tang Hao was startled. He had never expected to be discovered without any awareness!
In the next second,
A flash of silver light streaked by, and a tall figure instantly appeared in midair less than ten meters away from Tang Hao.
Zhao Yun held the Dragon Gallant Bright Silver Spear, his white robe fluttering violently in the night wind.
The gaze beneath Tang Hao's black cloak turned extremely grim as he stared intently at the handsome general who had appeared out of nowhere.
"You… are Lin Yuan's teacher?"
