Qian Daoliu looked at the titled douluo gathered with a calm expression.
The titled douluo of Spirit Hall were somewhat speechless.
Although they are very happy to have an enemy like Tang Hao dead. It shouldn't be like this.
The scene of Tang Hao being hung on the 'T' shaped wooden pole was definitely seen by many hidden eyes.
Most powerful forces have some spies from other powerful forces mixed into them. And Spirit Hall is no exception to this.
In fact, there are spies from all major factions hidden in Spirit Hall, such as Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Heaven Dou Empire, Star Dou Empire, and even the seemingly closed Clear Sky School.
Qian Daoliu, in particular, was particularly annoyed at this incident. Especially considering that the victim is a direct descendant of his old friend and rival, Tang Chen.
The titled douluo also talked among themselves.
"This new would probably reach Clear Sky School soon.."
"Will they come looking for trouble?"
"They dare? Tang Hao is a wanted criminal of our Spirit Hall! What reason do they even have to trouble us?"
"In the first place, if they make a fuss, we can continue with what we stopped previously."
"I dare them to come! This time, we can completely eliminate the scourge called Clear Sky School!"
Hearing the mutterings of those people, Qian Daoliu's eyes twitched.
If possible, he doesn't want to unnecessarily provoke Clear Sky School.
"Brother."
A majestic voice called out. He was an old man who looked to be about seventy years old. While his face appeared to be quite aged, his eyes were still sharp, with flashes of vitality in them. His body posture was straight and upright, without any signs of weakness of old age.
This man is Golden Crocodile Douluo, a level 98 Peak Super Douluo, and arguably the second strongest person in Spirit Hall.
"As far I know, the only possible people with combat powers to confront Tang Hao are, Sword Douluo Chen Xin of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
"Even then, it's impossible for them to actually defeat Tang Hao in a full-on fight. Even with variables like support from the world's strongest auxiliary soul master Ning Fengzhi, it is still not possible."
"Whoever this person is, he won't be an ordinary titled douluo."
Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a frown and a heavy tone.
"…"
The other titled douluo were silent and the atmosphere was heavy. Even Bibi Dong had a frown on her beautiful face.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, and slowly rose his hand with a golden glow of light.
With a golden glow, Tang Hao's dead body appeared at the scene, silently floating in air supported by a glow of light.
Qian Daoliu, then, stated his own observations about this situation.
"I observed Tang Hao's body and also went to visit the venue of the conflict."
"Really, Great Priest(Brother)?"
"Yes. It was in a place near to a lesser level city named Nuoding city."
"From my observation, Tang Hao had used his Ring Exploding technique and Great Sumeru Hammer technique to its highest level. He didn't hold back at all, which is evident by the destroyed inner organs and meridians on his body."
"But what really shocked me, or even, frightened me is that… the opponent seems to have never taken Tang Hao seriously."
"…" The other titled douluo were shocked speechless.
Especially Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who are said to have received a beating from Tang Hao. They have a deep impression of Tang Hao's overbearing strength, to the point of being traumatic about it.
"While I don't want to believe this. It's most likely that the unknown powerhouse was toying with Tang Hao from the start."
"At the site of the battle, the other party's energy signature is nowhere to be found. But from what I saw from the aftermath and the damage on Tang Hao's body… each blow from the other party was a decisive blow, that brought Tang Hao one step closer to death each time."
"But… let's not get too concerned with this new powerhouse. We still need to deal with this situation of Tang Hao's death."
"If you have any suggestions, put it forth."
…
Nuoding Academy, Nuoding city.
Rayne didn't stay in his dormitory, since Xiao Wu was also there.
And he was also just joking about sharing the bed with Ah Yin, just as an excuse to send away Xiao Wu.
No matter how much of a harem seeker he is, Rayne isn't hasty enough to sleep with a woman, just one day after meeting her.
Rayne knows very well that, haste makes waste.
There's plenty of time, and he's not exactly of the physical age to do such things.
"Ah Yin, I have some things to do. I most likely won't return till tomorrow morning. So, look after this restless rabbit. There are quite a few powerful people in the city right now."
"Because of yesterday's…"
"Yeah. There was that much commotion yesterday. Obviously it would attract a lot of attention. Even, just a few couple hours ago, a level 99 peerless douluo was also there. Most likely Spirit Hall's Great Enshrinement, Qian Daoliu."
"…" Ah Yin was silent, and Xiao Wu looked quite scared. Even her face had turned pale for a moment.
"You don't have to be so scared. Xiao Wu, have you forgotten that I've already hidden your identity? I've done the same for Ah Yin. Even most gods will have a hard time seeing through my means, much less mere titled douluo."
"Anyway, I'm leaving. Have a good night sleep."
With that, Rayne just vanished from there in a flash, leaving behind a speechless Ah Yin and Xiao Wu.
…
Very high up in the skies of Nuoding city, Rayne appeared suddenly.
His vibrant blue eyes, seeing through everything in the city and it's surroundings.
After having an estimate of just how many people were here at present, Rayne opened a spatial rift via his Kāma martial soul, and entered it.
The next moment, he was in a completely different place.
This place is Gengxin City, a very well-known city throughout the continent.
Gengxin City is a city that is present within the borders of Star Luo Empire, closer to its inner regions. It is called as a City of Metal as it boasts the continent's best smiths. Gengxin City's economy centers around the smith's production.
The reason why Rayne is here is because…
The metals.
Rayne needed a lot of metals and other materials to make some soul guides, and some other items.
Gengxin city is pretty much the pilgrimage for all blacksmiths in Douluo continent. And because of this, this city is also the largest metal gathering place in the continent.
Because of the lack of understanding of soul guides in this era, the prices of metals are very cheap. Even, some extremely valuable metals in the production of soul guides are deemed to be of little use in this era.
It's still early night, somewhere around seven to eight p.m. so, the city is still has the presence of people on streets.
Rayne had plenty of wealth, and exchanged for a huge amount of metals and materials in the blacksmith association.
He also sold the 9,999 year old Titan Giant Ape soul bone he had gotten from a quest before, which was valued a lot at the blacksmith association. This is because of the fact that this soul bone is a strength type, belonging to a super beast like Titan Giant Ape.
This even caught the attention of a fat and muscular old man named Luo Gao, who is the head of this blacksmith association.
This old man, Luo Gao, is actually a pretty significant plot character in the original work, who is known as Divine Blacksmith along with Tai Tan and Tang Hao.
Of course, this so-called divine blacksmith is just a fancy title, and not an actual achievement. Luo Gao is just a soul saint in level 70's. How could he possibly be capable of exerting level 95+ physical strength, which is the basic requirement for a divine blacksmith.
Anyway, Rayne met this old guy Luo Gao, who was quite enthusiastic about the soul bone of Titan Giant Ape. He didn't even care about Rayne's abnormally young age and wealth.
In the end, Luo Gao bought the soul bone from Rayne for a big price of three million gold soul coins.
Although the system only recognizes this soul bone as a top thousand year old soul bone. In the eyes of these blacksmiths, this soul bone is more valuable than any ten thousand year old soul bones.
Rayne also thought of selling the six soul bones he got from killing Tang Hao, but he refrained from doing so.
First, the source of these soul bones are very questionable and trouble-seeking. Second, he doubts whether the blacksmith association can come up with the money, that is enough to by top grade strength type soul bones. And all of them are above 50,000-years-old.
After having a few chat and collecting all the metal and money, Rayne opened a spatial rift and disappeared, making all those ill minded people who were thinking of robbing him, furious and frustrated.
…
Rayne returned to Nuoding city.
In a hidden underground artificial space created by him, Rayne used his divine technique – Split, and created about two dozen clones of himself.
With the help of these clones and the metals and materials collected, Rayne started to work on it with super high efficiency.
With the existence of Six Eyes martial soul, his soul power expenditure was very minimal.
After an hour, with the help of his clones, he built a massive object that resembled a big mansion.
This is his super durable, All-Purpose, Portable Personal Laboratory.
With the speed at which he built it, this was obviously not Rayne's first time building it in his three lives.
He had built this thing quite a few times during his time as Ouroboros.
This is something he designed and improved multiple times. Unfortunately, his current strength limits him from constructing the best version.
The best thing about it is that, it's portable. He can store it in a spatial storage device, as long as the space is big enough.
With the Gate of Ashburn, Rayne doesn't have to worry about this issue.
After it was done, Rayne started to forge some alloys and make some necessary soul guides for the moment.
With the clones and his vast experience, the manufacture process was unbelievably fast and efficient.
Rayne didn't use carving knifes like other soul engineers. But rather, a sharp pointed energy blade made of lightning attribute energy, which in Rayne's opinion is the best possible carving knife.
Of course, this is not feasible for others as, lightning energy is not easy to control, and is a very violent element.
By the time it was almost morning, Rayne had made quite a lot of soul guidance devices, which he will be using in the near future.
Rayne quickly returned to the dormitory, intending to send away Ah Yin and Xiao Wu to elsewhere.
Because…
Today is the day, his mother in this life, Shui Xin'er comes to pick him up.
