Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Qin Ming continued, "Why did you stop investigating later? Did you find out that Tang San was related to me?"

Su Yuntao remained silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Qin Ming looked at him, his tone softening slightly:

"It was only after I discovered that you were investigating this matter that I learned that Tang San had actually used the Zhuge Crossbow in Soto City. Possessing such a treasure is a crime; such a powerful weapon cannot be sold by just anyone. So I stopped him that day, and afterwards I tried my best to recover some of the Zhuge Crossbows near Soto City."

He paused, then his voice deepened: "Unfortunately, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever."

Su Yuntao understood his meaning: "So, the Gemini stars are after Zhuge's crossbow?"

Qin Ming nodded, his expression solemn, and said:

"They're definitely after that thing. I checked, and almost every time they win a match, the person who is seriously injured or killed is someone who used the Zhuge Crossbow in the arena. Manager Han didn't notice this detail, but I checked the records, and it can't be wrong."

Su Yuntao frowned slightly: "Have you found out who the other party is?"

"All the current clues point to the major families behind the Great Soul Arena, but I can't be sure which one it is yet. However, one thing is certain: the other party is definitely not from the Han family. Today, the Twin Stars crippled several Soul Masters on the stage and didn't give Manager Han any face at all. If they were from the Han family, they wouldn't have gone so far."

Su Yuntao paused for a moment, then continued, "Did the other side find out that Tang San made the Zhuge Crossbow?"

Qin Ming shook his head:

"Probably not yet. If they already knew that Tang San made the Zhuge Crossbow, they wouldn't use this method to attract everyone's attention. Right now, they're just following the trail of people who used the Zhuge Crossbow. However, if they continue to investigate, they'll eventually find Tang San."

Su Yuntao leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly twice on the table: "So what do you want to do?"

"Kill them."

This was the first time Su Yuntao had seen such intense killing intent emanating from Qin Ming, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Since you already suspect that the other party comes from the family behind the Great Soul Arena, simply killing two thugs won't solve the problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuntao smiled knowingly:

"So, you're planning to divert their attention away from Tang San?"

Qin Ming did not look away, but met his gaze and said:

"This is the only way. Only in this way will their attention be diverted from Tang San. He is still young and should not bear these burdens. As long as I can hold them off, he can live a few more years in peace."

Su Yuntao looked at Qin Ming's calm face, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I agree."

Qin Ming was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected him to agree so quickly. Then, he twitched his lips and patted Su Yuntao on the shoulder: "Thanks, brother."

Su Yuntao waved his hand:

"What are you thanking me for? I've been in Soto City for almost as long anyway, so I might as well take this opportunity to finish this fight and leave. But right now, you should be thinking about how to beat those two. Otherwise, you might end up lying on the stage while everyone else is getting attention. By the way, do you have the Zhuge Crossbow?"

Qin Ming was also momentarily stunned by Su Yuntao's erratic thinking before he pulled out a brand-new crossbow from his pocket:

"I have one, I've kept it hidden away and never touched it, what do you want with it?"

Su Yuntao took it and looked through it, a slight smile curving his lips:

"Since we're helping Tang San, we should naturally use his hidden weapons to make it look proper."

Without any hesitation, he placed the Zhuge Crossbow into his storage ring.

"Let's go, let's go see how Manager Han is doing?"

As the two pushed open the stone door and stepped out, Manager Han was pacing back and forth in the corridor. Upon seeing them, he immediately came up to them: "How did it go?"

Su Yuntao nodded: "We'll take this job."

Manager Han let out a sudden sigh of relief, a hint of relaxation finally appearing on his face:

"Good! Finally, we don't have to watch those two brats act so arrogantly anymore. I've already had the main venue cleared out beforehand, so let's head straight there now!"

The three of them quickly walked through the corridor and pushed open the main hall door, where lights and a cacophony of sound rushed in.

The main venue was almost twice the size of the branch venue where Su Yuntao usually competed, and the stands were packed with people, a sea of ​​black.

Two people, one tall and one short, stood in the center of the arena, both dressed in the same style of black outfits with silver patterns embroidered on the cuffs.

The moment Su Yuntao and Qin Ming stepped onto the stage, the overhead lights poured down without reservation, illuminating the entire stage as if it were daytime.

Sensing the soul power of Su Yuntao and the other man, the taller man spoke first, his voice neither hurried nor slow, but just loud enough for everyone on the arena to hear clearly:

"Level 39? It seems Notting City really has no one left; they've even brought out a Soul Master to make up the numbers."

The shorter guy next to him was even more blunt: "Bro, you're wrong about that. They might just be here to give me a winning streak."

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience, but it was quickly drowned out by boos from even more people.

Su Yuntao didn't respond, but simply stood to one side of the ring, waiting for the host to announce the start.

The host, standing at the edge of the arena, took the stage, his voice rising eight octaves as he held his megaphone: "Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight's main event is about to begin! First, let's welcome our challengers—the Twin Wolves!"

He turned towards Su Yuntao and Qin Ming, speaking much faster than usual:

"Don't underestimate our Lone Wolf player just because he's only level 39. He's already won 43 consecutive matches in the Soto City Grand Soul Arena! A Soul Master challenging a Soul Grandmaster—that's a feat most people wouldn't even dare to dream of, yet he's already won 43 matches in a row! And our other member of the Twin Wolves team, Fire Wolf Qin Ming, with his Martial Soul Blazing Azure Wolf, is a level 46 Battle Soul Grandmaster, and he's also a focal point in our Grand Soul Arena!"

A burst of scattered applause and whistles rang out from the audience. Some shouted "Lone Wolf," while others yelled "Fire Wolf." The voices mingled together, and although not perfectly synchronized, it was much more lively than at the beginning.

After the host's voice paused briefly, he turned to the other side of the ring:

"And their opponents, the Twin Stars duo, the elder brother Leng Wushuang, a level 48 Mental Control type Soul Master with the Martial Soul Heart-Eating Butterfly! The younger brother Leng Wuhen, a level 49 Power Attack type Soul Master with the Martial Soul Shadow-Splitting Blade! Although the Twin Stars only entered our Soto City Grand Soul Arena today, they have already won five consecutive matches, including defeating the Zou brothers, the strongest duo in our Grand Soul Arena before the Soul Master stage!"

A commotion erupted from the audience.

The host paused, then raised his voice slightly: "Will tonight's showdown see the Twin Stars continue their winning streak, or will the Twin Wolves end their reign? Let's wait and see!"

The referee, confirming both sides were ready, brought his raised right hand down crisply: "The match begins!"
