Chapter 55: Tang San

In the auction hall.

People left one after another.

At this time, some of them still didn't understand what was happening, just following the crowd and inquiring about the reason after leaving.

Some were terrified, fleeing the auction hall as if escaping, and swore in their hearts never to come again for the excitement.

Not a single Title Douluo left.

At this moment, they were all thinking, pondering why Bai Yuan had gathered them together using a hundred-thousand-year soul beast as bait, what exactly he intended to do.

Previously they thought Bai Yuan wanted to annihilate them and then wipe out humanity in one fell swoop, but now it's clearly not the case.

At this moment, the people on the black, purple, and yellow seats had all left, leaving only the white seats to focus on.

"Tang San, I know you're inside. If you come out and commit suicide here, I might let Xiao Wu go." Bai Yuan said calmly.

No one stood up from the white seats; instead, they each lifted their bamboo hats and masks in order, forming a line and walking out of the hall.

The Title Douluos listening were also dumbfounded.

This trap really wasn't aimed at them, but at killing Tang Hao and his son Tang San?

As the numbers dwindled, the auction hall grew increasingly oppressive, and the Shrek Five Monsters grew more nervous one by one.

They originally thought: if they could buy Xiao Wu with money, they would use money; if they couldn't afford it, they'd resort to robbery after the buyer left.

But Bai Yuan gave them no chance; as soon as they entered, he took control of the whole scene and conducted screenings one by one.

Beneath the masks, the faces of the Shrek Five Monsters were grim; they clearly knew they had feuded with Bai Yuan.

Yet now, no matter how they thought, they couldn't understand why a Title Douluo possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring dared not attack Bai Yuan!

Clearly that was just a reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast, a soul beast with at most five rings!

Tang San didn't heed Tang Hao's advice; instead, he removed his bamboo hat and mask, revealing his much more handsome appearance.

"Your Majesty, I'm curious: he too is a reborn soul beast, why don't you act against him? As far as I know, his strength was only five rings a year ago, and now it's at most six rings."

The Title Douluos glanced at Tang San, but none recognized him; yet a spark of anger rose in their hearts.

Only five rings a year ago?

Now at most six rings?

"Who the hell are you? Damn it, can I at least offer you to the heavens first!" a Title Douluo burst out angrily.

Tang San was momentarily stunned, but his doubts grew stronger; he asked respectfully: "Senior, everything I said is true."

"Damn it!" that Title Douluo wanted to strike, but seeing the expressionless Bai Yuan beside him, he dared not.

Qian Renxue, who had been forced to stay nearby, watched, eyes wide open.

She had only heard that Bai Yuan was strong, a reborn hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but never imagined he had reached this level.

A whole group of Title Douluos, including her mother and the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, none dared to act.

"What exactly happened in the Star Dou Great Forest back then?" Qian Renxue glanced at Bai Yuan curiously and fearfully, puzzled as to why he had kept her.

Tang San was completely subdued now; he could feel the killing intent in that Title Douluo's eyes, and the substantive killing qi permeating the space.

At the same time, Tang San could sense the fear deep in the hearts of these Title Douluos when facing Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan chuckled lightly and said: "Kid, since you know the news spreading from the inn, don't you know the situation in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"The situation in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Tang San showed a hint of doubt on his face.

Bai Yuan smiled and said: "It seems you truly don't know about that battle. Let me think about it."

"You know my strength at the restaurant, but you don't know about the Star Dou Great Forest, proving you're not qualified to receive my portrait; yet you recognize me, so you must be someone from the inn?"

"But I haven't seen you here."

Bai Yuan gazed at Tang San with a smiling squint, then suddenly flashed a realization: "Oh! So it's you! Tang San, I was just wondering which unlucky wretch wanted to gather everyone's power to kill me."

Tang San's face twitched slightly; he hadn't expected his few words to be useless, and moreover Bai Yuan had seen through his identity.

The Title Douluos present were startled upon hearing this.

Tang San? Tang Hao's son?

The person Bai Yuan just named to kill?

But why doesn't he resemble the former portrait?

Tang San felt the gazes of many; he didn't panic, but quickly calmed down and said: "Bai Yuan, stop spitting blood!"

Tang San knew he absolutely couldn't admit his identity now, otherwise Bai Yuan would target him and also invite pursuit from the Spirit Hall.

Bai Yuan sneered: "Only you would pour dirty water on others. How? Are you now so timid you dare not even admit your own identity? Truly throwing the face of Haotian Douluo away."

Suddenly Bai Yuan paused his smile and said: "Tang San, how about this: if you say Haotian Douluo Tang Hao is my grandson, I'll let you leave, how about that?"

Tang San couldn't help clenching his fists.

Bai Yuan said: "Those who wish to reborn as soul beasts, step forward; my earlier request still stands—Tang San and Tang Hao's heads, plus bring the Poison Douluo before me."

The Title Douluos fixed their gazes on Tang San, yet still no one moved; Bi Bi Dong said: "How can we trust you?"

Bai Yuan smiled: "Believe it or not, anyway your martial soul also bears grudges against Tang San and his father; they will surely retaliate against the Spirit Hall when they grow."

Bi Bi Dong's eyes flickered; actually Tang Hao's heavy wound to Qian Xunji was a great boon for her.

But the fact that Tang Hao and his son bear grudges against the Spirit Hall is also true; later, when they grow, they will surely avenge the Spirit Hall's slaughter of Ah Yin, counting it against her.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes at Tang San.

Haotian Douluo Tang Hao's son?

The child of her father's enemy?

Qian Renxue could be said to lack both paternal and maternal love; if not for Qian Daoliu, even if Bi Bi Dong had given birth to her, she would have been killed by her.

Bai Yuan's voice sounded again: "Let me tell you another piece of news: Tang San's changed appearance is due to his martial soul's second awakening; he now also inherits Ah Yin's hundred-thousand-year soul bone."

Bai Yuan's tone suddenly carried a few teasing notes: "Moreover, half of his bloodline is that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast; killing him might very well yield a soul ring and soul bone."

The Title Douluo all seemed restless and eager to act, and even Bi Bi Dong felt tempted.

After all, verifying Bai Yuan's words is simple—just kill the boy before them; for them it's as easy as turning over one's hand.

And even if the person before them isn't Tang San and lacks a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, killing him is just killing him.

What else can we do?
