Although an ordinary Title Douluo might not be able to see through the effects of the Dark Spirit Serpent Concealment Soul Bone technique, how could the spectators at the competition be just ordinary Title Douluo?
For one, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely be there to watch.
And whenever Ning Fengzhi traveled, he always brought one of the two great protectors, Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo. These two elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were far from ordinary Title Douluo; their strength was formidable, and they would likely be able to see through Xiao Wu's disguise.
Unaware that she had already been targeted, Ning Fengzhi, unwilling to miss out on a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, might order Chen Xin or Gu Rong to capture Xiao Wu on the spot.
Tang San, who saw Xiao Wu as his sister, would never stand by and watch her be taken. At that moment, a scene that appeared to be about sibling love but was actually a sacrifice for love would unfold.
At the critical moment, Tang Hao would intervene, saving both of them from danger.
With this setup, Xiao Wu's unwavering love for his son Tang San would be practically guaranteed.
Later, after sending Xiao Wu away to return to the forest, Tang San, having experienced that moment of despair, would be determined to train even harder. He would push himself to become a true powerhouse with relentless dedication.
When the time was right, Tang Hao planned for Tang San to head to the forest to find Xiao Wu while simultaneously having the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect send people to hunt her down. Cornered, Xiao Wu, just like Ah Yin in the past, would sacrifice herself for love, gifting Tang San a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.
With himself secretly watching over Tang San, his safety would be assured. Obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, Tang San's future would be limitless. And with vengeance fueling him, he would be even more driven to train harder and become stronger.
In Tang Hao's eyes, this was the grand path to the peak for his son, Tang San!
Of course, this was Tang Hao's initial plan. But upon further reflection, he found some flaws.
It wasn't that he thought scheming for Xiao Wu's soul ring and soul bone was wrong, but rather that he had chosen the wrong party to execute it.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also at odds with the Spirit Hall and could become a valuable ally in the future war against them. Turning them into an enemy at this stage was unwise. It had to be the Spirit Hall committing the atrocity.
If the Spirit Hall was responsible for Xiao Wu's death, and Tang Hao later revealed the truth to Tang San, then with old grudges unresolved and fresh ones added, Tang San's motivation to train would be pushed to the absolute limit.
With his outstanding talent, twin martial souls, and a burning desire for revenge, Tang San would undoubtedly become a peerless powerhouse!
As for whether Xiao Wu's identity would be exposed during the preliminary matches by Chen Xin or Gu Rong, it wouldn't matter.
If Tang Hao stepped in, Ning Fengzhi would pretend not to have seen anything.
After all, the most terrifying thing wasn't just a powerhouse—it was a powerhouse with nothing to lose. If Ning Fengzhi didn't cooperate, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect couldn't afford the consequences of Tang Hao's retaliation.
By the time the finals arrived, if the tournament was held in Spirit City, then it was inevitable that Xiao Wu's identity would be discovered by the Spirit Hall's experts.
Even if the finals weren't held in Spirit City, the Spirit Hall would still send elders from their Elder Hall to oversee the matches.
And even if the elders who were sent weren't strong enough to see through Xiao Wu's disguise, that could easily be arranged. At that time, an "anonymous informant" could simply tip them off.
One way or another, the Spirit Hall was destined to be the villain.
And Tang San was destined to obtain Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone!
Of course, this elaborate scheme was all to ensure Tang San would absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring before reaching level 80 to further enhance his potential. Otherwise, all this planning wouldn't even be necessary.
Three days later, at Blazing Academy.
In a room on the first floor, which had been converted into a forging workshop, Mu Yang looked at the two freshly completed sets of blazing red battle armor on the forging table and nodded in satisfaction.
These two upgraded, spirit-forged, one-word battle armors were made for his elder cousin Huo Wushuang and elder cousin Huo Wu.
Since both of them had fire-attributed martial souls, the material used was the same—Flaming Sun Iron, a rare fire-element metal.
Huo Wushuang's battle armor was called "Crimson Dragon," covered in dragon-scale patterns with a fiery crystal dragon emblem on the chest plate.
Huo Wu's battle armor was called "Phoenix Blaze," adorned with flame patterns and a human-shaped emblem on the chest plate. Aside from the material and color differences, it looked very similar to Mu Yang's own Iceflame Armor.
"Little brother, is this soul tool armor finally finished?"
At this moment, Huo Wu, who had been watching from the side, asked curiously.
Glancing at the eager expressions of Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, Mu Yang nodded and said, "It's done! But let me be clear, this isn't just some soul tool armor—it's called battle armor."
"Little brother, this battle armor… it feels almost alive. Besides defense, does it have any special abilities?"
Huo Wushuang, feeling an inexplicable connection to the Crimson Dragon Armor, asked in amazement.
"These two battle armors can increase the strength of a five-ring Soul King by about twenty levels. In other words, once you wear them, your power will be on par with a seven-ring Soul Sage."
With his arms crossed, Mu Yang spoke confidently.
"What? Seven-ring Soul Sage?!"
Instantly, the brother and sister duo widened their eyes in disbelief.
The gap between a five-ring Soul King and a seven-ring Soul Sage was massive. Could a mere piece of armor truly bridge that gap?
Even martial soul fusion techniques rarely allowed two Soul Kings to rival a Soul Sage—only if both were high-level Soul Kings and the opponent was a newly advanced Soul Sage.
Mu Yang waved a hand dismissively. "Just try it on, and you'll see."
Still skeptical, the two quickly donned the battle armor.
"Whoa! Little brother, this is amazing!"
Moments later, feeling the incredible surge of power, Huo Wu excitedly grabbed Mu Yang in a tight embrace.
"Let go, let go! Don't strangle me!"
Mu Yang pushed Huo Wu's arms away with annoyance.
Feeling his strength swell, Huo Wushuang grinned and declared, "I now officially announce that I, Huo Wushuang, am the fourth-strongest in Blazing Academy!"
His father, Huo Lie, was a Title Douluo, and his mother, Mu Xiyue, along with Vice Dean Chi Chengyan, were Soul Douluo—he couldn't surpass them.
But the other three vice deans were just Soul Sages. With his battle armor, martial soul, soul rings, and various techniques, Huo Wushuang was confident he could dominate any of them. Ranking fourth was absolutely fair!
"No, that's just your imagination. I'm stronger than you, so at best, you're ranked fifth."
Mu Yang stated seriously.
Always ready to strike a final blow, Huo Wu added, "No, no, that's wrong. He's only sixth. I'm also stronger than him!"
Huo Wushuang: "..."
