Douluo: Villain Simulator, Starting with an Iron Sword Martial Soul

Instead, they began to build their own power within the academy.

He won over aristocratic students and controlled the allocation of resources.

Leveraging the Luo family's background, they established connections with several minor noble families in Nottingham City.

He even tried to contact the Spirit Hall branch, hoping to use its power to suppress Tang San.

But the deeper he went, the more he realized that Tang San was not very active.

Because Tang San is too low-key.

Aside from cultivating, attending classes, and forging iron, he almost never provokes anyone.

Lu Changsheng wanted him to make a mistake, but he could never find an opportunity.

At the age of nine, Lu Changsheng's soul power broke through to level ten, and he obtained his first soul ring.

His first soul skill is called: Blood Shadow Slash. When activated, the Blood Pattern Sword will unleash a dark red sword shadow that attacks the enemy with great speed and considerable power.

After acquiring his first spirit ring, Lu Changsheng's influence at Notting Academy grew even stronger.

The aristocratic students almost all followed him.

He finally began preparing to suppress Tang San for the second time.

This time, he wasn't targeting Tang San himself, but Yu Xiaogang.

The master held a special position at Nottingham College, but his reputation was not good.

Many people consider him nothing more than a theoretical failure.

Lu Changsheng then secretly amplified this voice, attempting to get the academy's higher-ups to expel Yu Xiaogang.

As long as Yu Xiaogang leaves Notting Academy, Tang San's growth path will inevitably be affected.

At first, the plan went smoothly, but dissatisfaction with Yu Xiaogang gradually increased within the academy.

Some teachers even began to publicly question his theories.

Lu Changsheng thought he had finally seized the opportunity.

Just when things were about to escalate, Tang San made his move.

Instead of using force, he used the martial spirit theory that Yu Xiaogang had taught him to accurately point out the flaws in the execution of several students' spirit skills during a practical training session.

After this incident became known, Yu Xiaogang's situation actually improved.

Lu Changsheng's plan failed once again.

Not only did he fail, but he also made Tang San even more famous in the academy.

For the first time, Lu Changsheng truly felt the pressure.

He discovered that suppressing the Chosen One was not simply a matter of destroying a certain node.

Because the chosen one will retaliate.

You suppress him, yet he still manages to gain fame by taking advantage of the situation.

You design him, and he might in turn win people's hearts.

You thought you were weakening him, but you ended up becoming his stepping stone instead.

At the age of twelve, Lu Changsheng's soul power level broke through to level nineteen. Tang was thirty-one years old, and he also became stronger, reaching level twenty-six in soul power.

Dormitory 7 has become the core of Notting College's work-study program.

Lu Changsheng knew he couldn't delay any longer. He was already twelve years old and would soon graduate from Notting Academy. If he did, he wouldn't be able to complete the tasks given by the system.

Even if he knew that Tang Hao might be right next to Tang San, he would still try to make a move.

Thus, Lu Changsheng made his first truly meaningful choice to play a villain.

He planned to use someone else to do his dirty work.

Chapter 5: Tang San's Identity Exposed?

This time, however, Lu Changsheng did not set his sights on Xiao Wu.

Because he had come to understand that the most dangerous person beside Tang San was never Xiao Wu, but the man who was always hiding in the shadows—the Haotian Douluo Tang Hao.

The death of the former Pope Qian Xunji was related to this person.

To the people of Notting Academy, Tang San was just an incredibly talented work-study student.

However, for the Spirit Hall, Tang San's identity was enough to shake the entire Papal Palace.

Lu Changsheng knew very well that he was no match for Tang San.

He is even less likely to be a match for Tang Hao.

Therefore, what he needs to do is not to take action personally.

Instead, they delivered the message to the Spirit Hall.

As long as the Spirit Hall knows that Tang San is Tang Hao's son, even if they dare not act rashly for the time being, they will definitely send people to investigate.

As long as the Spirit Hall makes a move, Tang San's peaceful life will be disrupted.

Tang Hao had no choice but to expose himself prematurely.

At that time, Tang San's original growth path will inevitably deviate.

This was the safest strike that Lu Changsheng could think of.

…………

Late at night, in a secluded courtyard of the Luo family.

Lu Changsheng sat at the table, with no lights on outside the window.

He didn't use his own handwriting, but deliberately changed to a crooked and messy style.

On the white paper, the ink gradually spreads:

Tang San, a work-study student at Notting Academy, is suspected to be the son of Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo.

His father, Tang Hao, may be hiding near Nottingham.

This matter concerns the death of the former pope; we urge the Spirit Hall to investigate carefully.

------

After writing the last word, Lu Changsheng paused for a long time.

He looked at the letter with an extremely calm expression.

If this letter reaches the Spirit Hall, Tang San will inevitably be caught in the storm.

However, this is also an extremely dangerous thing.

Because if Tang Hao discovers this, he will never let the person who leaked the information get away with it.

However, Lu Changsheng had no way out.

He is already twelve years old and will soon graduate from Notting College.

So he had to do something.

Even if it only causes a slight crack in Tang San's fate.

Lu Changsheng folded the letter and sealed it in an ordinary envelope.

The next morning, he did not go to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in person.

Instead, they paid a beggar in the city.

The beggar was young and often ran errands for people on the streets of Nottingham.

Such a person is inconspicuous and would not arouse suspicion.

Lu Changsheng handed him the letter and said only one sentence:

"Deliver this letter to the entrance of the Martial Soul Branch Hall and hand it to the steward inside."

The beggar took the money and nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, young master, I will definitely deliver it."

Lu Changsheng stood at the alley entrance, watching the beggar run away, his eyes showing no sign of relaxation.

Because he knew this was only the first step.

Whether the letter can be delivered is one thing.

Whether the Spirit Hall believes it or not is another matter.

The most crucial question is whether Tang Hao will notice.

At noon that day, the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

A deacon hurried into the bishop's room carrying the unsigned letter.

The bishop of the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall is named Matthew. On weekdays, he is responsible for Martial Soul awakening, Soul Master registration, and basic affairs in Notting City and the surrounding villages and towns.

Nottingham was just a small border town, so in theory nothing major should have happened. But when Matthew opened the letter and read its contents, his expression changed instantly.
