At this moment, Xiao Wu stepped forward and protected Tang San behind her, her eyes fixed on the Lion Douluo on the distant hill.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's thoughts couldn't help but return to seven years ago, to the hillside behind Holy Soul Village.

—What if one day, many people want to kill me, and you can't beat them?

—Then let them step over my dead body first!

"If you want to hurt my third brother, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Like a protective mother hen holding her chicks, Xiao Wu, who was shielding Tang San behind her, shouted loudly at Lion Douluo.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San was immediately deeply moved.

As the saying goes, "Time will tell," and in this moment of crisis, Xiao Wu bravely stepped forward to protect herself. Regardless of her actual ability, her sincerity was genuine.

Without hesitation, Tang San stepped forward, pulled Xiao Wu behind him, and, while staring intently at Lion Douluo, said without turning his head, "I am the older brother, and you are the younger sister. There is absolutely no reason in the world for a younger sister to die in front of her older brother!"

Tang San: My world cannot exist without Xiao Wu! Unless I am already dead.

Mu Yang: He~, tui!

Taking a deep breath, Tang San said again, "Xiao Wu, I don't know if there will be a tomorrow, but what I want to say now is that I don't want to leave any regrets. Xiao Wu, I love you!"

Tang San roared out the final three words, "I love you."

"Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu's nose tingled, her eyes reddened, and she tightly hugged Tang San in front of her.

"Hahahaha—"

Suddenly, the Lion Douluo on the distant hill laughed, and his laughter was full of mockery. His gaze toward Xiao Wu was also full of amusement.

It was obvious that the concealment soul bone technique of the 20,000-year-old Dark Spirit Serpent's left leg bone could not hide Xiao Wu's disguise and identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast from Lion Douluo, whose soul power level was as high as 97.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Faced with an enemy who wanted to take his life, Tang San no longer showed any humility towards a Title Douluo powerhouse and directly questioned him without any politeness.

"I laugh at the hypocrisy of you Tang family members!"

Lion Douluo said with a disdainful look.

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Chen Xin and the other three in mid-air, looked puzzled.

They are clearly a pair of desperate lovers who dare to face the threat of death, so how did they end up being associated with hypocrisy?

"Hmph~, I, Tang San, am upright and honest. You demons and monsters who ambush contestants halfway through the competition, how dare you call me hypocritical?"

Tang San retorted sharply.

"Hahaha~, where is Tang Hao?"

After scanning the room and laughing for a moment, Lion Douluo asked loudly.

After a long while, no one responded.

"He really is a coward!"

Do you know where Tang Hao's 100,000-year ninth spirit ring came from? Let me tell you, Tang Hao's 100,000-year ninth spirit ring on his Clear Sky Hammer was given to him by the Blue Silver Emperor in his human form!

Fourteen years ago, Tang Hao traveled the continent with the transformed soul beast Blue Silver Emperor, and eventually obtained a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul ring.

Fourteen years later, you, Tang San, son of Tang Hao, are participating in the Soul Master Competition with a transformed soul beast. What is your purpose?

The Tang family truly lives up to their name; their spirit rings have remained unbroken for ten thousand years, generation after generation!

With his gaze fixed on Tang San and Xiao Wu, Lion Douluo spoke sarcastically.

Regardless of whether Tang Hao back then and Tang San now thought what he said, this is the fact.

It is undeniable that Tang Hao did not hide with the Blue Silver Emperor back then, but instead appeared on the continent.

Tang San is not hiding away with the transformed Soft Bone Rabbit either. Instead, he is taking her to the Soul Master Competition, which is attended by many Title Douluo. This is also undeniable.

As the saying goes, it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. With the facts laid bare, the Tang family will never be able to shake off labels like hypocritical, despicable, and insidious! Well, at least that's true for Tang Hao and his son Tang San.

At this moment, Lion Douluo couldn't help but think of Tang Chen, the "Invincible on Land" of the Clear Sky Sect who had been missing for many years.

Tang Hao's ninth spirit ring, which lasted 100,000 years, came from the Blue Silver Emperor. Judging from the current pace, if it weren't for the destruction of the Heaven Dou Temple earlier, Tang San would most likely have obtained a spirit ring from the Soft Bone Rabbit in the future.

If this is how grandsons and great-grandsons are, then did Tang Chen, who is a grandfather and great-grandfather, also obtain his ninth spirit ring of 100,000 years in the same way?

Or perhaps Tang Chen is the source, and Tang Hao, the grandson, merely inherited the family's craft?

Hmph~, Tang Chen is indeed extremely cunning. No wonder the Grand Elder was slightly inferior to him in the battle outside the sky. Just this one move alone is something the straightforward Grand Elder could never learn.

Lion Douluo: The Despicable Tang Family!

What is the intention?

The words "Lion Douluo" struck Xiao Wu's heart like a meteorite falling from the sky.

Yes, since Third Brother's father is a Title Douluo, and a strong one at that, not a blind and weak Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, then he should have seen through his identity as a transformed soul beast from the very beginning.

If it's true that Third Brother didn't stop me from participating in the competition because he lacked the strength to see through my soul beast transformation, then it's hard to say what Third Brother's father, who had already seen through my identity, was planning when he didn't stop me from participating in the Soul Master Competition!

Most importantly, before the competition, Third Brother's father also gave him a hidden soul bone that wasn't very old, through Third Brother's hands.

If it weren't for Lion Douluo's words, she wouldn't have thought too much about it, simply assuming that her third brother and father had seen through her identity and were using this soul bone to disguise herself.

But with these words, combined with the fact that Third Brother's father destroyed the Heaven Dou Temple and severely humiliated the Spirit Hall, and knowing that the Spirit Hall would definitely retaliate, yet still did not stop Third Brother from continuing to participate in the Soul Master Competition, then Third Brother's father's true intentions become quite obvious.

In times of crisis, would I sacrifice myself like my third brother's mother to help him and fight for that last chance?

If it were Lion Douluo speaking, Xiao Wu felt that she definitely would, because Third Brother was her only relative in this world besides Da Ming and Er Ming.

But now, Xiaowu feels she would hesitate, because this love has become tainted with impurities, and she no longer has the courage to throw herself into love at any cost.

Although her third brother was unaware of all this, and she believed that he had no such sinister intentions, if this was indeed her third brother's father's scheme, how could she pretend it didn't exist?

What Xiao Wu didn't know was that once the seed of doubt was planted, it could never be eradicated, even if the facts differed from her suspicions. (End of Chapter)
