As Xu Fan’s words spread, the women erupted in outrage.
Ning Rongrong felt her scalp tingle.
“My heavens… is Tang Hao even human?
He actually did it for a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone—sacrificing his own wife!
The outside world is terrifying.
Should I even leave the sect anymore?”
Bibi Dong pondered calmly.
“Some of it is speculation and hearsay on Xu Fan’s part, but it’s highly plausible.
Spirit Hall received the intelligence far too suddenly.
If Tang Hao set it up himself, then everything makes sense.”
Qian Renxue sneered.
“That’s the Clear Sky Sect for you—everything for a Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
He even harmed his own wife… and my father.”
“Oh?
Compensation?
Immortal Herbs?” Qian Renxue’s mood lifted when she saw that Xu Fan intended to make it up to her.
She didn’t know what Immortal Herbs were exactly, but if Xu Fan said they were good, then they must be extraordinary.
Huo Wu scratched her head, looking conflicted and disappointed.
“This is the Clear Sky Douluo I admired?
Disgusting.
He’s not even human.
No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn’t help when the Clear Sky Sect fell.”
It seemed those sects knew very well what kind of people the Clear Sky Sect truly were.
A sect that would sell out its own wife could never be decent.
At that moment, Shui Yue’er and Shui Bing’er were holding each other.
“Sister… is Tang Hao really that terrifying?”
Shui Bing’er sighed softly.
“Yue’er, you know what a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone represent…”
“Unbelievable.
Ah Yin was completely deceived.”
“Yes.
We should avoid dealing with the Clear Sky Sect in the future.”
“Uh… Sister, they’ve already sealed the mountain.
There’s no one left anyway.”
…
At the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena slowly rose to her feet.
“So this is humanity?” she scoffed coldly.
“Blue Silver Emperor, you misjudged them.
To humans, your worth is nothing more than a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone.”
“I just wonder… Xu Fan—are you that kind of person as well?”
…
At an inn, Zhu Zhuqing sat deep in thought.
Is it really all calculation between people?
Should she still go find Dai Mubai?
He abandoned her and chose to flee.
If she went back to him now, wouldn’t that be humiliating?
In Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes, although Dai Mubai wasn’t the same kind of person as Tang Hao, he wasn’t a good man either.
After careful consideration, Zhu Zhuqing made her decision—she would go find Xu Fan.
She felt that the sudden appearance of this notebook was no coincidence.
There was nothing remarkable about her that would warrant such an opportunity.
That meant she likely had some connection to Xu Fan… perhaps even becoming his woman.
Finding Xu Fan might be her chance to escape the Star Luo Empire.
…
On a massive island far from the Douluo Continent.
A ripple of emotion crossed the serene face of a woman exuding elegance and sanctity.
Two others stood beside her.
“Lord Poseidon, Tang Hao is despicable!” Xiao Bai snarled, baring her small tiger-like fangs, furious.
“He deceived our Soul Beast Clan and even used feelings to do it!”
The Sea Maiden Douluo beside her also frowned.
“Even if it’s a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone… the Blue Silver Emperor was still his wife.
How could he bring himself to harm her?”
Poseidon sighed helplessly.
Who could have imagined such depravity within Tang Chen’s Clear Sky Sect?
They truly had no moral bottom line.
“Enough,” Poseidon said calmly.
“This has nothing to do with us.
That is a matter for the Douluo Continent.
We are Sea God Island.”
Seeing Poseidon’s displeasure, Xiao Bai and the Sea Maiden Douluo both fell silent.
…
Spirit Hall.
“Teacher!
Teacher!” Hu Liena burst into Bibi Dong’s chamber—then froze when she saw a notebook identical to her own.
“Teacher… you have one too?”
Bibi Dong glanced at the notebook in Hu Liena’s hands.
“You have one as well?”
“Yes!
Teacher, this notebook is incredible!
It can’t be destroyed, and no one else can see it!” Hu Liena nodded vigorously.
[Find other owners and add them as friends.]
The same voice echoed in both of their minds.
“Teacher, did you hear that?”
“I did.”
“Then let’s add each other as friends!”
After becoming friends, they tested the long-distance communication feature.
“What an incredible ability…”
Bibi Dong’s lips twitched.
“Don’t message me for no reason in the future.”
“Waaah… Teacher, you dislike me!” Hu Liena clung to Bibi Dong’s arm.
“Get lost.”
“Teacher, is the ‘Dong’er’ Xu Fan mentioned you?
After all, Sister Xue’er is his first wife,” Hu Liena asked curiously.
Bibi Dong’s face darkened.
“Get out.”
She threw Hu Liena straight out of the room.
Bibi Dong was deeply irritated.
She was seventy percent sure that “Dong’er” referred to herself.
But why would she be with Xu Fan?
Impossible.
Was she really the kind of woman who would fall for a younger man?
…
Moon Pavilion.
“Sister Yuehua, I’m coming in.”
Princess Xue Ke lifted the hem of her gown and stepped into the top-floor tea room—then froze in shock.
Tang Yuehua lay collapsed there, her head tilted weakly to one side, her face pale as paper.
“Sister Yuehua?!”
Xue Ke gasped, stumbling forward in panic.
“Sister!
What’s wrong?!
Sister Yuehua!”
Tang Yuehua had fainted, tear stains still visible on her face.
“Help!
Someone help!”
…
Xu Fan knew nothing of what was happening elsewhere.
He was currently savoring the system’s rewards.
Gazing at the phantom of his Martial Soul behind him, a smile spread across Xu Fan’s face.
The Martial God Body Martial Soul… this feeling was incredible.
His body felt as though it had been elevated to perfection—he didn’t even need to train deliberately.
Xu Fan also discovered that the system’s rewards were closely tied to what he fabricated in his stories.
He wrote about the Martial God Body and the Martial God Body Refining Art—and the system granted them outright.
It seemed that, in the future, he would need to include even better “content” to accelerate his growth.
Now that Xu Fan had obtained his first Soul Ring, his soul power had reached level twelve.
The first Soul Ring reward was perfectly matched to him, with its age pushed to the maximum limit his body could withstand.
With the Martial God Body, Xu Fan’s first Soul Ring was nearly a thousand years old—an unmistakable display of its power.
Despite having done no formal cultivation, his physique already far surpassed that of ordinary Soul Masters.
His First Soul Skill—Martial God Astral Qi—was exceptionally powerful.
It provided a comprehensive boost to all attributes.
Additionally, all attacks carried the Piercing Aura effect, granting enhanced penetration against defensive soul skills.
At the same time, it formed an invisible protective layer that reduced incoming damage by thirty percent until the barrier shattered.
“Tang San should already be at Shrek Academy by now,” Xu Fan murmured.
“And Tang Hao will be protecting him…”
“This is the perfect time to claim that Soul Bone.”
