Chapter 382 - 382 The Hypocritical Tang Hao

Qian Renxue froze completely.

She was born with the glory of an angel and was proud to the core. She had never suffered such humiliation.

What she found even more unacceptable was that the "culprit" behind all of this was...

It turned out to be Tang San, whom she had never met before!

"Tang San..."

"I have never met you before, nor have we ever had any grudge against you, yet you have ruined my breakthrough and tarnished my reputation!"

Her eyes were icy cold, and her killing intent was undisguised.

She didn't care what the future held.

She didn't care whether her fate changed or not.

All she knew was that because of this man named Tang San, she had failed at the last hurdle and her Dao heart had been thwarted.

It even became a laughing stock across the entire continent.

"This grudge will be avenged."

The palace doors opened, and Qian Daoliu strode in.

Seeing his granddaughter's pale face and disordered breathing, he was heartbroken and furious.

"Xue'er, how are you?"

"His breakthrough was interrupted by the Heavenly Curtain's punishment at the crucial moment, and he failed?"

Qian Renxue nodded, her voice calm, yet chilling.

"yes."

"Within a month, his cultivation stagnated, and he was unable to make any progress."

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, Grandpa will take action for you and personally kill that Tang San to eliminate any future troubles and prevent him from hindering your ascension to godhood."

Qian Renxue raised her hand to stop her, a hint of angelic pride flashing in her eyes.

"No need, Grandpa."

"I will settle my score with him personally."

"Although I cannot cultivate this month, I can calm my mind and recuperate. I will go to find Tang San myself."

Qian Daoliu was taken aback, but then he saw the confidence in his granddaughter's eyes.

Qian Renxue was already one step away from becoming a Title Douluo, and with the numerous rewards bestowed upon her by the previous Sky List, her strength far surpassed that of others of the same level.

Tang San was just a fugitive youth. Even if he had a miraculous encounter, he could never be a match for Qian Renxue.

"good."

"Grandpa believes you."

"But you must remember, show no mercy. If this person is not eliminated, he will become a great threat."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her eyes filled with even more killing intent.

...

At this moment, in a secluded valley on the border of the Spirit Hall.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were resting during a break in the God of Resentment's inheritance trial when they felt the tremors in the sky outside. They both looked up at the same time.

When Qian Renxue's name appeared, Xiao Wu was taken aback at first, and then let out a soft "hmm".

The look in his eyes as he looked at Tang San held a subtle meaning.

"Third Brother..."

"Tianmu said that in the future, she will deliberately let you go because she has developed feelings for you..."

Xiao Wu's lips pursed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible jealousy and awkwardness.

She and Tang San grew up together and were of one mind.

But suddenly a proud young woman appears, who will give up her great cause for her third brother in the future. Anyone would feel uncomfortable about that.

Seeing this, Tang San was both amused and exasperated. He quickly grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and earnestly explained.

"Xiao Wu, don't overthink it."

"I have never met Qian Renxue, not even her face, let alone had any entanglement with her."

"This was just the original trajectory of the future. Since the sky descended, everything has been completely changed."

"We're not even sure if we'll ever meet her, let alone what hasn't happened yet."

"We don't need to worry about a vague future; let's just cherish the present."

Xiao Wu blushed slightly at Tang San's words and nodded gently.

The slight unease in her heart vanished instantly, and she leaned tightly against Tang San's shoulder.

"Yes, I believe Third Brother."

The two exchanged a glance, then stopped paying attention to the rankings and continued to immerse themselves in the trial.

Unbeknownst to them, a deadly trap set by the Spirit Hall had already been quietly set up against them.

...

The mainland is still debating Qian Renxue.

Some lamented the angel's misfortune, some mocked the Spirit Hall for being full of hypocrites, while others eagerly awaited the next person to be listed.

But the sky gave no one a chance to catch their breath.

"Boom boom boom!"

The golden light intensified, and the oppressive aura rose even higher, as if to expose the most hidden and shameful secrets of the entire continent to the world.

Countless people's hearts pounded as they stared intently at the sky.

The next moment!

The third-ranked name suddenly appeared.

[Ranking on the list of hypocrites: Third place]

[Character: Tang Hao]

[Identity: Haotian Douluo, a genius of the Haotian Sect who appears only once in a century, and Tang San's father]

[Reason for being fake:]

1. Shifting blame and blaming others: He failed to protect his wife, Ah Yin, but instead poured all the blame on the Spirit Hall. He also concealed the truth about his origins from his son, Tang San, for more than ten years. He was selfish and cowardly.

2. Escaping reality and failing to be a father: After Ah Yin sacrificed herself, she became self-destructive, drank heavily, and abandoned the young Tang San in Holy Soul Village to fend for himself. She failed to fulfill her responsibilities in raising him and did not pass on the Haotian inheritance until she discovered Tang San's amazing talent, at which point she reappeared to play the role of a loving father.

3. Deliberately seducing and sacrificing his wife: Back then, Tang Hao was already a peak Soul Douluo. When he was about to become a Title Douluo, he deliberately took Ah Yin, who was about to successfully transform, with him and frequently wandered around the Spirit Hall's territory. He deliberately exposed Ah Yin's identity as the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor and forced Ah Yin to sacrifice herself to save him in an unconventional way, thereby obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, and becoming the youngest Title Douluo.

[Punishment: The Haotian Martial Soul is suppressed by 10%, its soul power fluctuations are unstable, and the sins of past killings have triggered inner demons. Every full moon night, its soul power will backfire, preventing it from advancing any further for the rest of its life.]

When Tang Hao's name and crimes were fully revealed.

The entire Douluo Continent fell silent instantly.

This shock far surpasses all the previous shocks combined.

Who is Tang Hao?

That's Haotian Douluo!

He was the youngest Title Douluo on the mainland back then!

It is a legend that one person defeated several Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall with just one hammer!

He is the epitome of "tough guy, tragic, and powerful" in the hearts of countless Soul Masters!

In everyone's mind, Tang Hao was a tragic hero who was forced to the point of losing his family by the Spirit Hall, and Ah Yin's sacrifice was a tragedy caused by the Spirit Hall's greed.

But Tianmu said...

It was Tang Hao who deliberately exposed Ah Yin, forcing her to sacrifice herself, all for his own breakthrough to the Title Douluo level!

"..."

"This...this is real?"

"He deliberately lured the Spirit Hall to kill his wife in order to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring?"

"Back then, the Blue Silver Emperor was only one step away from becoming a Soul Saint. If he had just hidden himself for a little longer, he could have completely concealed his Soul Beast aura, and no one would have been able to detect him!"

"Tang Hao could have taken Ah Yin and run away, but he just kept hanging around on the Spirit Hall's territory..."

"Now that you mention it, it all makes perfect sense!"

"He's not a tragic hero at all; he's a hypocrite who would even sacrifice his wife for power!"

"That's outrageous!"

"Absolutely outrageous!"

"..."

The wine glasses in the tavern shattered on the ground, and the elders in the sect turned pale.

Even the Soul Masters who once admired Tang Hao felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't believe it.

Some refused to believe it, shouting that the sky was spouting nonsense.

However, the sky revealed Tang Hao's most secret and shameful secret to the public without leaving a trace.

Its logic is rigorous and its details are clear, leaving no room for doubt.

A legend once known, collapsed overnight.

A former hero has degenerated into a ruthless villain.

From this day forward, the Douluo Continent will no longer be home to the tragic Haotian Douluo.

Instead, he is a hypocrite who, in order to become stronger, is willing to sacrifice his lover, abandon his son, and shirk responsibility.
