Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 268 The Tang Siblings

On the main street of Tiandou City, a man dressed in a black robe was walking aimlessly; it was Tang Hao.

He had just returned from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and he was the one observing Tang San from outside the window just now.

The order from the Snow Night Emperor to keep an eye on Tang San did have some impact on Tang Hao, as he could no longer freely visit his son.

Although, to some extent, this was to protect Tang San.

Thinking about today's match and the expression on his son's face that he had just seen, Tang Hao was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Today's matches—no, it should be said that he watched every single one of the matches Tang San participated in, hiding in the crowd.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Tang Hao wanted to cause her trouble on the very first day she appeared, but considering the Spirit Hall behind Tianshui Academy, he chose to endure it.

It's not time for him to expose himself yet, and his mistress can't withstand the turmoil.

But after Zhu Zhuqing revealed her true strength today, he became restless.

He had secretly observed Han Li and the others and found that he couldn't judge their strength at all. However, judging from the time Zhu Zhuqing had been missing, she had advanced twenty levels in just over half a year.

Although he knew this was definitely an exception, it was still enough to alarm him.

First, it was revealed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was deliberately hiding something, and then the Spirit Hall revealed a secret that could allow people to improve rapidly. This made Tang Hao somewhat worried about the situation of the Clear Sky School.

Who knows if the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is also secretly hiding something good?

Thinking about the "Bone Transformation" secret technique that he now possessed, and considering that Tang San was revealing more and more of his abilities during the competition, if he wasn't mistaken, Tang San had almost unleashed the Clear Sky Hammer today.

He hesitated, wondering whether he should show himself now and persuade Tang San to give up the competition, while he left with his son and Xiao Wu.

If this continues, putting aside the question of whether Tang San will be exposed, he won't be able to guarantee that Xiao Wu's identity will not be revealed.

It's important to know that the reason Xiao Wu hasn't been discovered until now is entirely due to the soul skill attached to the 100,000-year soul ring that Ah Yin sacrificed herself for.

But precisely because it is a soul skill, he is not absolutely certain of success.

He had previously made a momentary oversight, misjudging how long a soul skill could last under human detection. This allowed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to discover Xiao Wu's true identity, forcing them to use hidden weapons as a price to keep it a secret.

However, once they arrive in Wuhun City, just the timely replenishment of Xiao Wu's soul skill effects, making it impossible for anyone to detect her identity, will be a problem.

The number of Soul Masters and powerful individuals in Wuhun City is many times greater than that in Tiandou City. Unless he can stay by their side indefinitely, Xiao Wu might expose herself at any time.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao felt a bit overwhelmed. If the Haotian Sect were still around, he wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.

Then, he looked up and found a woman staring at him blankly, her eyes already filled with tears.

Tang Hao froze and looked up at the top of her head. The two characters "Yuexuan" were clearly visible in his eyes. He didn't know when he had unconsciously walked here.

"Brother Hao, you've finally shown yourself. Did you come to see me?"

Tang Hao, who was about to turn and leave, stopped because of what the woman said.

Tang Hao glanced at the excited woman with a complicated expression, and slowly said, "Yuehua, it's been a long time."

"Brother Hao..."

Upon hearing his answer, the woman could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms, crying.

Tang Hao sighed, and before anyone could look over, he vanished through the doorway with Tang Yuehua in a flash.

In Tang Yuehua's room on the third floor of Yuexuan.

She had stopped crying and looked somewhat embarrassed at Tang Hao, who was sitting at the table, as she offered him a cup of tea.

"Alright, Yuehua, I've already told you, I didn't come to see you. It was a complete accident that I bumped into you today."

Tang Hao did not take it, but let Tang Yuehua place the teacup on the table in front of him.

Upon hearing his words, Tang Yuehua's expression darkened, but she quickly rallied.

"It doesn't matter if they're not here to see me, Brother Hao. How have you been all these years?"

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang Hao, who was completely different from the one she remembered, with a touch of heartache, and asked him.

"Ha, do I look like I'm doing well?"

Tang Hao tugged at his clothes and replied with a hint of self-deprecation.

Tang Yuehua was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. The smoothness and composure she used to have when moving among nobles were completely useless in front of Tang Hao.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber. After a while, Tang Yuehua looked at Tang Hao again and cautiously asked, "Brother Hao, you looked so worried earlier. Did something happen? Do you need my help?"

Tang Hao wanted to refuse outright, but the words wouldn't come out.

Although he hasn't made a decision yet and is still hesitating, there's no doubt that he wants to reconnect with the Haotian Sect.

Otherwise, as a titled Douluo, no matter what, he wouldn't have walked near Yuexuan for no reason. Subconsciously, he already had a preference.

Seeing that he remained silent, Tang Yuehua was secretly pleased. She knew Tang Hao's personality very well; if he didn't directly refuse, it meant he meant it.

She carefully observed Tang Hao's changing expression and tentatively asked, "Should I secretly contact my elder brother first? Hmm, let's not tell the others in the sect yet. We'll discuss it further after you've reached an agreement."

Tang Hao glanced at her. This younger sister had always liked to follow him around since she was little, trying to guess his thoughts. He never expected that she would come in handy at this time.

Tang Hao's reaction gave Tang Yuehua even more confidence, and her emotions soared even higher.

She quickly reviewed recent events in her mind, trying to find a breakthrough. Finally, after eliminating possibilities one by one, she narrowed it down to the Soul Master Competition.

The Soul Master Competition, the students... Could it be...? Thinking of the rumors from back then, and the things her older brother had always been reluctant to talk about with her, she thought of a possibility.

She had met Ah Yin once before. At that time, Ah Yin and Brother Hao looked like a perfect couple. A hint of sadness flashed in Tang Yuehua's eyes, but she hid it well.

"It's the Soul Master Competition, right, Brother Hao? You're in Heaven Dou City because of this, isn't that it?"

Concealing her disappointment, Tang Yuehua demonstrated her abilities to Tang Hao.

"Um."

This time, Tang Hao didn't remain silent. Tang Yuehua had already said so much, and there was no need for him to avoid the topic any longer.

"When can I see my nephew or niece?"

Although Tang Yuehua felt a pang of sorrow, she did indeed want to see Tang Hao's child. She and her elder brother had not yet married, so they naturally had no offspring.

"It's a son, but there's no rush. It's not a good time for you to meet him now."

Tang Hao shook his head. Tang San was currently under the strict protection of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If Tang Yuehua were to make contact with him rashly, it would only have the opposite effect.

"Son? And nephew? Could he be Tang San?"

Accurately recording all valuable people and integrating them into intelligence was Tang Yuehua's original intention in establishing Yuexuan in Tiandou City. Combining Tang Hao's words, she quickly thought of Tang San, who had recently become quite a celebrity.

"Um."

Tang Hao gave an unnatural twitch at the corner of his mouth and responded in a muffled voice.

Tang San lost a match today, and was even defeated by seven opponents. Tang Yuehua, who was well-informed, couldn't possibly not know this, which made him somewhat embarrassed to face his sister directly.

Tang Yuehua ignored his reaction and quickly reviewed Tang San's information in her mind again.

Her focus differed from Tang Hao's. She understood the true nature of the Soul Master Competition: it was a show, a stage for various forces to select talent, and winning or losing wasn't the only factor.

15 years old, level 43, a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master with innate full soul power, and her combat strength is also quite impressive. This is the information that exists about her.

"As expected of Brother Hao's child, his cultivation speed should be even faster than yours."

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly, then said with some regret, "It would be even better if his martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer."

Tang Yuehua did feel a little regretful. In her heart, Tang San, like her, might have a martial soul that would become a permanent pain. But thankfully, this nephew was at least able to cultivate, unlike her.

Upon hearing Tang Yuehua mention this, Tang Hao immediately felt wide awake.

He glanced at his sister, who seemed to be trying to comfort him, and said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, Xiao San also inherited the Clear Sky Hammer. He has twin martial souls. However, in order to hide his identity, I only let him show the Blue Silver Grass for the time being."

"What?! Twin Martial Souls!"

Tang Yuehua's eyes widened, and she suddenly stood up, not even noticing that her arm had bumped into the edge of the table.

"Yes, you heard me right, twin martial souls. That's why I'm here."

Tang Hao was very satisfied with her reaction, which was also the message he wanted to convey to his elder brother.

"By the way, when you send a message to your elder brother, you can tell him that Xiao San and I have also discovered a way to increase the strength of everyone in the sect."

Before she could ask, Tang Hao continued, "Perhaps this method will also work for you, Yuehua, and break the curse that prevents you from cultivating."

He thought of Yu Xiaogang, who broke through to the Soul Venerable level after his bone transformation. Yuehua should be able to do it too, right?

Tang Yuehua covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Whether she could cultivate or not was no longer her concern. However, this eloquent Tang Hao reminded her of the spirited Haotian Twin Stars of yesteryear.

In the following time, perhaps because he had already started talking, Tang Hao was no longer taciturn, but instead told his sister about his series of plans and ideas.

Tang Yuehua, with a smile on her face and bright eyes, stared at her brother whom she hadn't seen for many years. Her heart was filled with joy; it was so wonderful to be able to help him.
