Chapter 37: Ten Years Later, Tian Dou Imperial City, Life and Death Battle
"Kid, promise him!"
Like a decree from the heavens, the voice resounded in Su Yun's ears. Before Su Yun could react, he suddenly felt as if an invisible force had taken control of his body, rendering him immobile.
"Tang Hao!"
Su Yun's pupils contracted suddenly, and his heart was shaken. Although the owner of this voice had concealed their identity, the ability to transmit sound across space with such power made it clear even to Su Yun, if he were a fool, who the speaker was.
Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo!
"Su Yun! What's going on?" Ah Yin sensed Su Yun's abnormality. As his martial soul, Ah Yin also felt an extremely powerful aura locking onto Su Yun.
Moreover, this aura was so perfectly controlled that even everyone in the academy nearby couldn't perceive it. At this moment, Su Yun was in imminent danger.
As soon as the words fell, Ah Yin, who was in the Martial Soul Space, also had her pupils shrink.
"How could this be... this aura... it's... Ah Hao!" Ah Yin sensed the familiar aura and couldn't believe it.
She suddenly appeared in her soul form, looking around in an attempt to find her husband's figure. Unfortunately, in the vast crowd, with her current strength, she couldn't trace the presence of a Title Douluo.
Ah Yin hadn't expected that the sudden appearance of the aura targeting Su Yun would turn out to be her husband.
Why would Tang Hao target Su Yun? Is it for this impostor?
Catching a glimpse of Ah Yin's panicked appearance, Su Yun immediately understood that Ah Yin had recognized Tang Hao as the owner of the suppressing aura.
He urgently replied in his mind, "Sister Yin, I feel like I'm being suppressed by an invisible force. I can't move my body at all."
"And just now, there was another man's voice. He wanted me to agree to a duel with this impostor ten years later." Su Yun, who could only move his eyes and mouth at the moment, cast his gaze toward Yu Xiaogang and Tang San in front of him.
He found that their expressions were normal, indicating that Tang Hao hadn't met them yet.
Tang Hao appears to suppress me just to save face for Grandmaster and Tang San. Or has he already recognized the uniqueness of my martial soul?
Su Yun speculated in his mind. After all, Tang Hao had been with Ah Yin, and his knowledge of the Blue Silver Grass might be even higher than Grandmaster's.
However, before Su Yun could contemplate for long, Tang Hao's voice resounded in his ears again, "Kid, I know you're wondering who I am, but I advise you to think about another matter right now."
"Listen carefully; I'll only say this once."
"If you agree to the duel with that kid named Tang San ten years later, I will immediately let you go and ensure your safety for the next ten years."
"But if you refuse, I will kill the people around you, like that little girl who has always been close to you."
"Her life is now completely in your hands. Whether she lives or dies depends on your choice."
Boom!
Hearing this, Su Yun's heart suddenly stagnated, and he took a deep breath. Madman!
This guy must be insane!
If it weren't for Ah Yin's crazy actions just now, Su Yun wouldn't have believed that the words he heard were spoken by the legendary Douluo, Tang Hao!
"Just to make me agree to a duel with Tang San, he actually wants to use Xiao Wu's life to coerce me. What is this guy thinking?!"
"No, Tang Hao should have already seen Xiao Wu's true identity as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Due to my presence, there isn't much emotional connection between Tang San and Xiao Wu now. So, why does Tang Hao want to force me into a duel with Tang San using Xiao Wu's life?"
Su Yun speculated while translating Tang Hao's words to Ah Yin in his mind.
"What?!!" Ah Yin's face changed suddenly after hearing Su Yun's explanation. She couldn't believe that her husband would say such things. Su Yun spoke with such seriousness that it didn't seem like he was lying.
Most importantly, Ah Yin could already feel that the suppression on Su Yun was getting heavier, and his knees had started to tremble slightly.
"Hao has become a Title Douluo, and he must be able to see the true identity of the little girl named Xiao Wu. He promised me that he would only kill evil soul beasts in the future. But why does Tang Hao want to force Little Su Yun to duel with that impostor using Xiao Wu's life?"
Su Yun, seeing Ah Yin's shocked appearance and realizing she hadn't informed him of Tang Hao's identity, knew that Ah Yin's inner shock must be even more intense than his own.
"No way, regardless of whether Tang Hao's threat is true or false, I have to agree to Tang San. I can't gamble on what kind of person Tang Hao has become now. Faced with a threat from a Title Douluo, I can only choose to obey."
Therefore, when everyone on the scene thought that Su Yun's silence represented a refusal , his voice finally rang out in front of Tang San. The familiar voice carried a hint of coldness that Tang San had never felt before.
"Alright, Tang San! I agree to your challenge. Ten years later, you and I, a battle to the death!"
The powerful and resolute words finally spread out from the central area of the competition ground in all directions!
The scene immediately erupted in a wave of astonished exclamations!
Two children under the age of seven unexpectedly set a life-and-death battle ten years later! Such a thing was too shocking for anyone's eyes!
Facing Su Yun, even Tang San was momentarily stunned by the words. He actually agreed?! Why would he agree?
Tang San originally thought that Su Yun wouldn't agree to his request. After all, a life-and-death battle was an extremely solemn matter.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, publicly declaring a life-and-death battle required the endorsement of the Martial Soul Hall.
The two parties needed to agree on the time and place, and when the deadline arrived, both sides had to show up to determine life and death.
If someone failed to appear, that person would undoubtedly face the Martial Soul Hall's punishment!
Although this tradition was ancient and had been forgotten by many, today, Tang San and Su Yun brought it up again.
Seeing that Su Yun actually challenged him, Yu Xiaogang was also delighted. He immediately called for the teachers in the academy to summon a notary from the Martial Soul Hall.
After ten minutes, under the gaze of the Martial Soul Hall notary, the teachers of Nuoding Academy, and the numerous spectators, Tang San and Su Yun finally signed the contract and pressed their blood seals. This symbolized the formal effect of the life-and-death battle contract!
Ten years later, in the Tian Dou Empire, in the city of Tian Dou!
Tang San versus Su Yun, a battle to the death!
