Chapter 41: Chrysanthemum Douluo's Inference
During the time when Su Yun and Xiao Wu spent their vacation in the Holy Spirit Village, Su Yun was unaware that news of his life-and-death duel with Tang San had spread throughout the continent within the confines of the Spirit temple.
Two main reasons contributed to the swift dissemination of this news. Firstly, it had been a long time since the last life-and-death duel, and many within the Spirit hall had forgotten the identities of the participants in the previous duels.
Secondly, the uniqueness of Su Yun and Tang San's identities and martial souls played a significant role in making the news interesting.
The guards at the gate of the Martial Soul City were changing shifts. During this time, many guards were discussing the recent news circulating within the hall.
"Hey, did you hear? Two kids from the Heaven Dou Empire are claiming to have a life-and-death duel in the Heaven Dou Imperial City ten years from now."
"You heard too? I thought I was the only one. Apparently, the reason for their duel is that a kid named Su Yun made the teacher of a kid named Tang San lose face, so Tang San directly challenged him to a life-and-death duel. The most crucial part is that Su Yun actually accepted!"
"Good heavens! Isn't that reason too far-fetched?"
"Who knows? But I heard a small rumor. Do you know who Tang San's teacher is?"
"Who is it?"
"Hehe, it's said to be the same-named 'Grandmaster' Yu Xiaogang, who claims to be invincible in theory, just like our Legendary Scholar."
"Haha! That guy with a useless martial soul who says, 'There are no waste martial souls, only waste soul masters'? I bet only the common people would truly consider him a grandmaster."
"If Tang San's teacher is really that idiot, he probably will lose ten years from now. Haha!"
As the guards ridiculed Yu Xiaogang, a figure in white suddenly appeared before them. A faint and gentle aura suddenly enveloped them.
Seeing the newcomer, the guards' faces changed instantly. They all put on expressions of awe, bowing their heads respectfully, and said, "Greetings to Chrysanthemum Douluo."
The person who arrived was none other than Yue Guan, who had always served by the side of the current Pope, Bibi Dong.
"What were you discussing just now?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression was very indifferent, and his lightly spoken question made the guards' body hair stand on end. They were afraid that their Douluo would be angry.
"Douluo, we were discussing Yu Xiaogang, that waste."
"Stop mentioning that waste in front of me."
Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression showed disdain when he heard Yu Xiaogang's name. "I'm asking about what you were discussing just now."
The guards dared not hide anything and immediately informed Chrysanthemum Douluo about what they had been discussing regarding Su Yun and Tang San.
"Two people with Blue Silver Grass martial souls, both awakening innate full soul power? This news is interesting."
"Wait a moment... I remember the soul beast the previous Pope hunted before he died was..."
Seemingly realizing something, Yue Guan did not stay in front of the guards for long. Instead, he soared into the air, turning into a stream of light and heading straight for the hall where the Spirit hall stored its information and secrets.
Before long, Chrysanthemum Douluo's figure appeared in the information hall.
Passing by the staff, he went straight to a certain place, took down a dusty book, opened its pages, and began searching for the answers he sought.
"... Pope Qian Xunji, leading two Title Douluo, and numerous Spirit hall personnel, encircled the Shapeshifting Soul Beast — the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor!" Reading this passage, Chrysanthemum Douluo's usually profound expression suddenly changed. Even his hands and body couldn't stop trembling.
"As expected, Blue Silver Grass itself is considered a waste martial soul, almost impossible to awaken soul power. If they can awaken innate full soul power, it means these two kids' martial souls must have some issues!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo carefully deduced, and then it seemed like he remembered something. His eyes lit up, and he continued reading down the pages of the book he held: "The 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor, sacrificed at birth by Tang Hao... Tang Hao, with his own strength, killed a Title Douluo, severely injured Pope Qian Xunji and another Title Douluo, and escaped with an unknown-gender infant. Pope Qian Xunji died not long after returning to the Spirit hall."
"Hiss..."
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo took a sharp breath. His bold speculation in his mind became even more daring and clearer.
"If the martial souls of those two kids are Blue Silver Emperors, awakening innate full soul power in Blue Silver Grass is a natural consequence."
"After Tang Hao escaped, he hasn't appeared on the continent for many years. Our Spirit hall's spies deployed outside the Haotian Sect haven't detected his trace either."
"Tang San, Su Yun... that Tang kid, perhaps he is Tang Hao's son, the child of that soul beast!"
"If the kid called Tang San is really Tang Hao's child, then we might be able to find Tang Hao through him!" Chrysanthemum Douluo reached a conclusion in his heart. Although there was no evidence for this conclusion yet, his mind had already started to stir.
"No time to waste; let's set off now."
Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't delay any further. After carefully arranging some matters with the personnel in the Spirit hall, he headed straight for the Heaven Dou Empire, towards the direction of the Nuoding city.
...
The vacation ended.
In the evening, Su Yun and Xiao Wu returned to the Nuoding Academy. Their soul power had improved significantly during this period.
Su Yun's soul power had reached level eighteen, and Xiao Wu's soul power had also increased to level seventeen. If not for Xiao Wu's rapid advancement in soul power, Su Yun almost forgot that the little girl in front of him also possessed innate full soul power.
Upon returning to the dormitory, Su Yun saw that Tang San had already arrived and was meditating on his bed.
Now, Su Yun didn't have much affection for Tang San, so after putting down their luggage, he planned to go to the cafeteria for dinner with Xiao Wu.
At this moment, a dormitory teacher walked in from outside, looked at Su Yun and Tang San, and shouted, "Su Yun, Tang San, hurry to the Dean's office. Someone wants to see you."
