To make it appear more reasonable, Qin Ming did not directly take this New Royal Fighting Team to Soto City. Instead, he first had them participate in team battles at the Soul Arena in every city along the way.
He couldn't reveal his intentions so quickly, lest Luo Ye and the others notice his plan.
He would first use this method to lower their guard, and then naturally bring them to Shrek Academy.
Qin Ming was very much looking forward to seeing how they would react after meeting Flander.
Luo Ye's reaction and the others' were temporarily unknown, but Flander, Zhao Wuji, and the others were already terrified.
The thing they feared most had still happened.
That Haotian Douluo Tang Hao had once again descended upon Shrek Academy.
"Hao... Haotian Douluo"
Looking at the black-clothed man before him, Flander couldn't even speak properly, his legs even started to tremble slightly, and large beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Zhao Wuji, who was beside Flander, seemed even worse off compared to him. Zhao Wuji only felt his legs go weak and directly collapsed onto the ground.
Zhao Wuji knew very well that he couldn't escape this calamity, but he never expected this day to arrive so quickly.
Seeing their reactions, Tang Hao's heart immediately sank, and he said coldly.
"What do you mean by this? Did something happen to Xiao San?"
Normally, Tang Hao should have been in Saint Soul Village at this time, and it was impossible for him to come to Shrek Academy.
After all, he had just taught Flander and Zhao Wuji a lesson when Tang San enrolled, and those two wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Tang San.
Originally, Tang Hao was indeed in Saint Soul Village accompanying A Yin, but for the past few days, he had felt uneasy, always having a premonition that something bad had happened.
He waited in Saint Soul Village for several days, and no accidents occurred, but his premonition not only didn't disappear but became even stronger.
To completely put his mind at ease, Tang Hao finally decided to make a trip to Shrek and see Tang San's current situation with his own eyes.
Before finding Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang, he had already checked Tang San's condition and found no injuries on his body.
Originally, Tang Hao thought he was overthinking things. Now, seeing the reactions of Flander and Zhao Wuji after they saw him, Tang Hao instantly realized something was wrong.
"Why are you two so scared after seeing me? Answer me!"
Tang Hao's tiger eyes widened, and the terrifying aura belonging to a Haotian Douluo instantly erupted, pressing down on Flander and Zhao Wuji like a mountain.
Flander and Zhao Wuji felt as if they could clearly hear the pounding of their hearts and even seemed to smell the scent of death.
They wanted to explain, but when the words reached their mouths, they couldn't make any sound at all.
The reason this happened was that they knew very well that if Tang Hao found out about Tang San absorbing a ten-year spirit ring, even if they weren't killed, they would be crippled.
Even though Tang Hao had disappeared for many years, the fearsome reputation of this Haotian Douluo had always existed.
However, the more silent Flander and Zhao Wuji were, the stronger the ominous premonition in Tang Hao's heart became.
Just as he was about to beat these two guys up before asking questions, Yu Xiaogang, who was nearby, quickly reached out to stop him.
"Wait, Haotian Douluo, let me explain to you."
Tang Hao gave Flander and the other a deep look, then looked at Yu Xiaogang with a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice.
"What exactly happened? Did Xiao San encounter an accident?"
Yu Xiaogang's thoughts raced in his mind, and he looked at Tang Hao with a sincere expression as he began to speak.
They knew that Tang Hao would discover Tang San's ten-year spirit ring sooner or later. As long as Tang Hao wasn't blind, this matter couldn't be hidden.
However, for the sake of their lives, Yu Xiaogang had discussed it with Flander and Zhao Wuji several times before and had already prepared to collude their stories.
They would push all the responsibility onto Luo Ye, thereby preventing Tang Hao from killing them in his rage and directly slaughtering the two of them.
When he heard Yu Xiaogang say that Tang San's Haotian Hammer martial soul had absorbed three ten-year spirit rings, Tang Hao finally understood where the ominous premonition in his heart had come from during this period.
Ten-year spirit rings were only absorbed by spirit masters with trash martial souls who had no future at all.
Furthermore, only those from commoner backgrounds with no one to help them could possibly have their first spirit ring absorb a ten-year level one.
For example, this guy Yu Xiaogang, who was clearly a world-famous trash, yet his two martial souls were both yellow, representing the hundred-year level.
Tang Hao couldn't even imagine that Tang San would absorb ten-year spirit rings, and he had absorbed four at once, practically negating the advantage of having twin martial souls.
One must know that Tang Hao had always placed all his hopes on Tang San.
The reason he hadn't given Tang San a good look back then was indeed because he felt Tang San was somewhat unusual, cultivating a mysterious cultivation method he had never seen at such a young age.
Moreover, his mind had always shown great maturity, completely unlike a normal child.
It wasn't until Tang San awakened his martial soul, and furthermore possessed both the Blue Silver Grass and Haotian Hammer twin martial souls, that Tang Hao saw the hope of revitalizing the Haotian Sect in him. That's why he changed his previous attitude and truly treated him as his own son.
Tang Hao had always expected Tang San to become the top expert on the Douluo Continent, to make up for the mistakes he had made in the past, and to make the Haotian Sect great again.
But now, hearing this bad news from Yu Xiaogang, it was no less than a bolt from the blue for Tang Hao.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Tang Hao's chest rose and fell rapidly, breathing heavily, his eyes had already turned crimson, and rage was impacting his reason.
"Luo Ye, Luo Ye, where is that guy now?"
After feeling the seemingly materialized killing intent in Tang Hao's eyes, whether it was Flander and Zhao Wuji or Yu Xiaogang, they were all frightened and involuntarily took two steps back.
"Gulp."
Yu Xiaogang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty.
"I know you are very angry now, but I hope you can be a little calmer and more rational."
"Rational? My son is almost becoming like you, this trash, and you're telling me to be rational?"
Tang Hao glared fiercely at Yu Xiaogang, holding a grudge against him as well.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly changed when he heard the other person call him trash.
But he also knew that he absolutely could not anger Tang Hao now, so he suppressed his anger and explained.
"We don't know where Luo Ye is either. Ever since that time he went to the Star Dou Great Forest, he just disappeared."
Tang Hao desperately wanted to vent his anger and hatred, but now that Luo Ye was missing, he could only take it out on Flander and Zhao Wuji.
