Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 168 The Self-Proving Trap

This is absolutely absurd...

Although both release powerful force through ring explosions, it's clear to anyone with eyes that Ning Feiliu's [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow] are completely different from the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Haotian Sect.

This is like one being a direct offensive damage skill and the other being a buff skill that greatly increases one's own power. Even if the method of using them is to press the same button, can they be considered the same skill?

Although in the Douluo Continent, the "pre-animation" of the Soul Skill "Exploding Rings" seems to be unique to the Clear Sky Sect.

But does this mean that only the Haotian Sect possesses this type of soul skill?

In any case, although Ning Feiliu wanted to understand why Tang Yuehua would misunderstand that his two blessing skills, [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow], might come from Tang Hao, he still found it somewhat absurd.

He had no intention of getting involved with Tang Dachui's family. There was absolutely no benefit to it. On the contrary, it would only give Tang Yuehua the opportunity to pretend that he knew Tang Dachui. If Tang Dachui came and exposed him later, he would also have a lot of trouble.

Ning Feiliu has always kept her distance from trouble.

"Sorry... I don't know who you're talking about. You've probably mistaken me for someone else," Ning Feiliu said, shaking her head.

"Impossible!" Tang Yuehua stared straight at him and said, "Your two soul skills... only my brother on this continent knows them!"

Everyone present was immediately shocked.

Ning Feiliu's face darkened even more, her expression beneath the mask showing utter speechlessness.

He was certain that he was the only one in the entire Douluo Continent who possessed his two great blessing soul skills, [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow].

Unless Tang Hao also possesses his abilities and has consumed the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, it would be impossible for him to have the Soul Skills [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow].

Therefore, Tang Yuehua was absolutely mistaken, mistaking it for the ultimate secret technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer, a unique skill of the Haotian Sect.

In fact, anyone with eyes can see the difference between the two!

So Ning Feiliu was speechless at this moment.

In reality, Tang Yuehua, Tang Hao's younger sister who had no combat ability and only level nine soul power, really couldn't tell the difference at all.

After all, she couldn't participate in Tang Hao's battles; Tang Hao and Tang Xiao didn't take her with them when they went out to train.

So she only saw Tang Hao's battle up close when she was young. When Tang Hao's cultivation level was high, she no longer had the ability to watch the battle up close. She could only see from afar the appearance of Tang Hao's soul ring being blown off and cracked when he used the ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had also told her that this was the ultimate secret of their Haotian Sect's unique skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer—the Ring Detonation. In addition, she had never seen any other Soul Master detonate their Soul Rings to release a Soul Skill.

Therefore, she believes that the Ring Explosion is a soul skill that only Tang Hao knows.

As for the Great Sumeru Hammer's exploding rings, that's an amplification soul skill, while Ning Feiliu's is a directly released damage-dealing soul skill...

She didn't understand at all.

Since she lacked cultivation talent, she didn't share Yu Xiaogang's ambition to become a powerful Soul Master theorist if she couldn't become a powerful Soul Master. She didn't do much research on Soul Masters and usually spent her time studying aristocratic etiquette.

Therefore, Tang Yuehua's understanding of Soul Masters and Soul Skills was very one-sided, which is why she had such thoughts.

The others were unaware of Tang Hao's situation and were completely oblivious to the fact that Tang Hao's ring explosion and Ning Feiliu's ring explosion were entirely different.

They had never seen Tang Hao in battle, and even the Great Sumeru Hammer, a unique cultivation technique inherited from Tang Chen, was little known to most.

After all, given the generational gap, and the fact that no one had told them, it was very difficult for Yu Tianheng and the others to find out about this.

But when they heard what Tang Yuehua said, they immediately erupted in uproar.

"So... Yafei's soul skills were taught by this Lady Yue's brother? Who is this Lady Yue's brother...? Besides the Clear Sky Sect, which other powerful family with the surname Tang is also a powerful soul master..." Yu Tianheng looked at Ning Feiliu and couldn't help but think to himself.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his head: "Could it be... that he really is a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Others also had their own ideas.

However, Ning Feiliu's face behind the mask was full of helplessness. He wanted to tell Tang Yuehua, "Nonsense! His ring-exploding technique is completely different from Tang Dachui's."

However, firstly, he had never "seen" Tang Hao's ultimate technique of the Great Sumeru Hammer, so how could he know that his exploding rings were completely different from Tang Hao's Great Hammer's exploding rings?

Tang Yuehua's question suggests that he might use his cheap teacher, Dugu Bo, as a shield, saying that Dugu Bo told him this.

But this still did not dispel Tang Yuehua's suspicions.

Secondly, this will cause him to constantly fall into the self-justification trap.

When the other party makes a negative judgment about you, they have already gained a certain initiative, and you are in a passive position.

At this moment, Ning Feiliu must not be led by the nose by others. Otherwise, Ning Feiliu will fall into their rhythm and trap. You cannot prove yourself by following their accusations.

Either let the other party prove it, since the burden of proof lies with whoever raises the question.

Or maybe...

Ning Feiliu shook her head and said, "My two soul skills actually came from a chance encounter where I obtained the method of borrowing from two nature demigods. Although that's what I say, I definitely created them myself... If you can prove that my soul skills came from your brother, then let him come out and prove it later."

"I don't really know your brother, but you said... he shares the same surname as you, Tang, right?" His voice suddenly became full of pressure.

Tang Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that her identity was still a secret.

Why could she only allow the rumors of Emperor Xueye and her romantic affairs to circulate in Tiandou City?

Isn't it because she belongs to the Haotian Sect, or because Tang Hao's sister's identity cannot be exposed?

If it gets exposed, the Spirit Hall might use her identity against her.

Didn't we agree that the Haotian Sect would retire to the mountains and that its direct disciples would no longer go out?

What happened to Tang Yuehua?

Although Tang Yuehua lacks talent for cultivation, her martial soul is still the Clear Sky Hammer, and she is a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect.

As for the four single-attribute clans of the outer sect, the Spirit Hall can ignore them. After the four single-attribute clans announced their separation from the Tang Sect and went their own way, let them wander around outside. The Spirit Hall is too lazy to care about them.

So from this point, we can see that... the Spirit Hall is indeed a villainous force that acts in a relatively upright manner and is not so ruthless.

Even if the four single-attribute clans of the outer sect of the Haotian Sect declare their separation from the Haotian Sect, normal villainous forces should still be eradicated completely.

As a result, the four major single-attribute clans of the outer sect in the original story have been separated from the Clear Sky Sect for nearly twenty years and have basically not been bothered by the Spirit Hall. Moreover, only the Min clan has no way to do business and seems to have fallen into a slightly impoverished state.

The other clans, like the Power Clan and the Destruction Clan, are really thriving and living a very comfortable life.

If there were a villainous force with the same name next door, and they weren't completely eradicated from their hostile side, they would be driven to a dead end. If the protagonist didn't come back to save the day, they would definitely be wiped out.

Although the Spirit Hall didn't dare to go up the mountain to exterminate them all because of Tang Chen, they should at least have dealt with all the little Karami from the outer sect of the Clear Sky Sect.

However, the fact that they did not choose to do so is already compassionate enough.

But if it were discovered that Tang Yuehua, Tang Hao's younger sister, was still in Tiandou City, then it wouldn't be a matter of mercy or compassion.

Everyone suddenly looked at Tang Yuehua with strange expressions, seemingly also considering the possibility that she was a disciple of the Haotian Sect.

Next... if Tang Yuehua's true identity were to get out, it would be truly dangerous!

Moreover, Tang Yuehua looked at Ning Feiliu with some surprise and doubt in her beautiful eyes. If Ning Feiliu was really Tang Hao's disciple, would he choose to reveal her identity like this?

Are these Asian and African people ungrateful wretches?

Wait a minute... If she were an ingrate, wouldn't it be more direct to report Second Brother's identity to the Spirit Hall than to deny her identity here, or even subtly reveal it?

Could it be... that this Asia-Africa really doesn't know her unparalleled second brother?

Was his Soul-Exploding Ring Technique truly self-created?

But how could that be...?

Tang Yuehua was still not quite convinced, but her current situation forced her to jump into the trap of self-proof.

"Then it seems... I misunderstood." Tang Yuehua chuckled, concealing her embarrassment, and said, "However... in any case, I think you should be destined for my brother, after all, your martial souls are somewhat similar, both being ranged attack martial souls..."

A ranged attack martial spirit?

Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer is a ranged attack martial soul? That's nonsense.

Ning Feiliu scoffed, but he knew very well that this was Tang Yuehua's way of shirking responsibility for her own identity.

Otherwise, if her true identity is exposed, she will be in danger.

Everyone gradually dispelled their suspicion that Tang Yuehua might be a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, after all, the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is not a martial soul for ranged attacks.

Moreover, the Haotian Sect has already announced its retirement, so how could there still be a direct disciple of the Haotian Sect in Tiandou City, serving as the master of Yuexuan, the academy of etiquette for nobles in the Tiandou Empire?

This is practically equivalent to the title of honorary principal of the Heaven Dou Empire's Noble Academy.

"So...would you do me the honor of having a banquet with me sometime in the future to discuss this in detail?" Tang Yuehua said with a smile.

She still hadn't dismissed the idea that Ning Feiliu's soul skill originated from Tang Hao.

"No." Ning Feiliu shook her head, then said meaningfully, "Madam Yue, I really have no relationship with the person you're thinking of. Although I, Yafei, am secretive, it's because I have unspeakable reasons. But I never lie about anything else."

"You should put your doubts aside for now."

He really had no intention of continuing to chatter with Tang Yuehua, and getting involved with Tang Dachui's family would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

On the contrary, if he gets involved with them in the future, who knows what his pure and righteous third brother might "borrow" from him?

He didn't want the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to end up being exploited like in the original storyline.

Therefore, it's best to sever ties with Tang San as much as possible.

Of course, if Tang San really provokes him, he wouldn't mind giving his brother a good beating.

Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled. She understood what Ning Feiliu was saying. Ning Feiliu had confirmed her identity and that the second brother she mentioned was Tang Hao.

She was somewhat annoyed, realizing that she had been so caught up in the news about her second brother that she had lost her composure and exposed her true colors.

"Is that so...?" Tang Yuehua took a deep breath and said, "I understand... but I hope you won't—"

"That's none of my business," Ning Feiliu shrugged and said calmly. "As long as you don't cause me trouble, it doesn't matter who you are..."

But at that moment, a wicked sense of pleasure suddenly arose in his mind.

He then said jokingly, "But Madam Yue, you don't want to..."

Tang Yuehua stared at him with wide eyes. It seemed that Tang Hao's youngest sister was indeed still charming.

However, Ning Feiliu quickly lost interest.

Because Tang Yuehua really looked so knowledgeable.

I feel like this woman understands the wicked humor in his words.

Actually, unless someone like him has experienced the baptism of art films by a neighboring country friend who is living a comfortable life, a normal person wouldn't think too much of what he said.

But Tang Yuehua seemed to understand, and she couldn't possibly be a time traveler.

Another possibility is... she's quite good at it, or even an expert.

Thinking about it carefully, she was a direct disciple of the Haotian Sect. Although she was a woman, she had lived in the decadent capital of the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City, for more than ten or twenty years.

There were also those romantic rumors.

It's said that rumors don't spread without a basis. Even if Tang Yuehua didn't have any relationship with Emperor Xueye, the fact that such romantic rumors could circulate proves that she must have had some kind of affair that made people fantasize.

After all, a woman in her thirties, without any deceased lovers to strengthen her resolve, really has no desires?

Ning Feiliu felt nauseous at the thought.

"So please stop bothering me in the future," he said calmly.

Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, but she frowned, still thinking that the child had feelings for her.

However... after Ning Feiliu said she had no opinion, she became somewhat dissatisfied.

Is she... really that unattractive?

This guy from Asia and Africa... although he's a bit young, he looks pretty strong, so he probably understands that kind of thing.

Surprisingly, he didn't have any feelings for her?

It has to be said that in Douluo Continent, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun understood such things when they were only twelve or thirteen years old.

This at least proves that Soul Masters in Douluo Continent are definitely very precocious, although this is more likely a problem with the original author himself.

If we return to the practical issue, it is probably that the soul power spurs the growth of the soul master's own body, which makes him appear very mature.

Therefore, even though Ning Feiliu's body is only thirteen years old, after absorbing several spirit rings, it is already exceptionally tall, currently standing at 1.8 meters, and its height after adulthood is estimated to be close to 1.9 meters.

He also looked very strong... After taking off his clothes, he had a smooth and beautiful physique.

Although Tang Yuehua couldn't see what Ning Feiliu's face looked like under the mask, she felt that his young and strong physique was enough.

So Tang Yuehua... if Ning Feiliu really had that kind of thought, she might not really refuse such a thing.

It's really hard to say who's at a disadvantage and who's getting the better deal... we'll see.

But Ning Feiliu said something else entirely in the end.

This inevitably disappointed Tang Yuehua.

Could it be... that he really didn't know about that kind of thing?

However, Tang Yuehua was still a little unwilling to give up. In Tiandou City, what man wouldn't fall at her feet in her palace-style dress?

but now……

"Well, in that case, I won't bother you any longer," Tang Yuehua said with a smile.
