Douluo Continent: Starting with a Self-Created Soul Ring 80

Chapter 80: Tang Hao’s Face Turned Black

Blue Silver Grass Forest.

In a canyon overgrown with Blue Silver Grass, a single plant with golden veins on its leaves radiated a golden-blue light. Countless Blue Silver Grass plants around it bowed, showcasing its noble status. This plant with golden veins was the only Blue Silver Emperor left on Douluo Continent.

Blue Silver Grass is arguably the weakest among all Soul Beasts. But a ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor is different. The ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor awakened the ultimate principle of the Blue Silver Domain: “[Even if burned by wildfire, it will regrow with the spring breeze]” (This is an idiom emphasizing resilience and rebirth). Even if killed, the Blue Silver Emperor would resurrect after forty-nine days.

Logically, with such an incredible ability, the Blue Silver Emperor shouldn’t fear heavenly tribulations. In other words, it could live on as the Blue Silver Emperor forever.

However, for Soul Beasts with such long lifespans, their original lives were incredibly monotonous and boring. Therefore, the Blue Silver Emperor, who longed for human life, chose to transform into a human today.

After the golden-blue light dissipated, a little girl with long blue hair and a blue dress appeared where the Blue Silver Emperor had been. The girl was about six years old. All ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts transform into human forms starting at age six. If they started as infants, those Soul Beasts transforming alone wouldn’t survive.

“I’ve finally transformed into a human!” Ayin exclaimed, examining her hands with delight.

“Your Majesty, after entering human society, please protect yourself. Our race cannot lose you!” Seeing Ayin’s happiness, the Blue Silver King, who had been guarding Ayin’s transformation, manifested as an old man’s spectral form and respectfully pleaded.

“Hmm, don’t worry, I’ll be fine!” Ayin responded with a confident smile. “As long as I don’t want to die, no one on Douluo Continent can truly kill me.”

“Alright, escort me out of the forest quickly. I want to see the human world!” Ayin’s tone, though gentle, held a commanding undertone. “And I need more contact with humans to level up.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

…

“Junior Brother, where did you go to find her?” As soon as Gu Ziyue returned, Bi Bi Dong questioned him. She no longer called her “Sister Bailu.” After learning about Tang Yuehua and Gu Ziyue’s relationship, her liking for Tang Yuehua diminished.

“Nothing much, just gave her some advice to improve her performance in the upcoming matches,” Gu Ziyue said with a smile.

“What kind of advice?” Bi Bi Dong’s curiosity was piqued. If it was Gu Ziyue’s guidance, it must be extraordinary. “Could she unleash even stronger fighting power?”

“No rush, Sister will see it after her next appearance,” Gu Ziyue replied, withholding the details.

“Alright, then let’s wait and see,” Bi Bi Dong said, unconcerned. “Junior Brother, let me remind you, she and Tang Yuehua are both from the Hao Tian Sect. Even if you were classmates and friends, you should maintain your distance.”

“Yes, I’ll heed Sister’s advice!” Gu Ziyue didn’t object, responding with a smile.

“That’s good!” Bi Bi Dong was relieved. She then continued watching the Soul Master Tournament with Gu Ziyue.

Coincidentally, the next team to compete was the Hao Tian Team. However, Tang Yuehua was absent today, replaced by a substitute member.

“It’s the Hao Tian Team!”

“I heard Tang Hao suffered a major setback yesterday…”

“Haha, I heard about it too…”

“Apparently, he was controlled by a Soul Skill and left at the entrance for a long time…”

“And he was defeated by a girl, a girl who seems much younger than him.”

“I heard it was a man and a woman?”

“No way, it was just one girl…”

“Really? She’s amazing! Do you know who that girl is?”

“No idea. She didn’t participate in this Soul Master Tournament, so nobody knows who she is!”

“Many people want to know who that girl is, she’s so powerful…”

“Unfortunately, we dare not ask Tang Hao himself, otherwise we’d know.”

“Hush, don’t say that! Don’t you see Tang Hao on the stage with a dark face?”

“…”

Once the Hao Tian Team appeared, whispers filled the audience, a stark contrast to yesterday’s thunderous cheers. Evidently, the audience preferred gossip to cheers.

Yu Xiaogan, who had arrived yesterday, was also in the audience. Seeing his idol’s humiliating defeat, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. He had planned to use his status to ask Tang Hao about the girl who defeated him, but after seeing Tang Hao’s current state, he gave up on the idea.

Gu Ziyue and Bi Bi Dong hadn’t expected to stumble upon such juicy gossip while watching the competition. But seeing Tang Hao’s incredibly dark expression, Gu Ziyue found the gossip quite amusing.

“Hee hee, Junior Brother, look at Tang Hao’s face, it’s so funny!” Bi Bi Dong openly laughed.

Perhaps Tang Hao was particularly sensitive to Bi Bi Dong’s laughter; upon hearing it, he looked in their direction and spotted Gu Ziyue and Bi Bi Dong. Instantly, his face darkened even further.

“Damn it!” Tang Hao fumed internally. “It’s all that damned woman and that brat, they made me lose face!”

Not only was he embarrassed now, but also last night. After hearing some rumors, his sister guessed that he had gone to trouble Gu Ziyue and Bi Bi Dong. She subsequently scolded him for causing trouble for Gu Ziyue. Tang Hao felt incredibly frustrated; he had taken the beating to avenge Tang Yuehua.

Recalling the incident, Tang Hao felt incredibly aggrieved. Now, seeing Gu Ziyue and Bi Bi Dong, he was even angrier. If not for the competition, he would have charged at them again. He wanted to prove he wasn’t that weak; yesterday, his poor condition, and his lack of anticipation of Bi Bi Dong’s strength (a Soul King), caused him to be caught off guard.

But Tang Hao dared not; he could only fight with his anger, venting his frustration on his opponents.

After watching several matches, Gu Ziyue found it boring. Bi Bi Dong, however, enjoyed every match. She was especially curious about Bailu’s team’s upcoming battles, eager to see the results of Gu Ziyue’s guidance. Unfortunately, Bailu’s team wasn’t scheduled to compete today.
