Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Two Title Douluos? Not Enough!

Qian Renxue continued, "I called you here today to get your opinion—how many Title Douluos should we send out?"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So how many Title Douluos is Spirit Hall planning to send, and aren't you worried that sharing this with me could risk your plan?"

Qian Renxue smiled, "Originally, Spirit Hall intended to send Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost, both at level 95, along with a few Soul Douluo and Soul Saints. But that was before Tang Hao's involvement came to light. Now that he's openly in the picture, two Title Douluos are insufficient."

She continued with a warm smile, "And as for why I'm telling you this, well, Su Ming, we've known each other for a while. I trust you, and I know you're clever enough to offer valuable insight, especially since you're also at odds with Tang San."

In truth, Qian Renxue had carefully considered sharing this with Su Ming. In the original story, the ambush on Tang San involved only Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo because Tang Hao's presence wasn't anticipated. However, with Tang Hao now a known factor, more than just two Title Douluos would be necessary.

After all, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo still harbored psychological trauma from their previous encounters with Tang Hao. Their combined martial soul fusion skill was powerful but took time to set up, and if they lacked additional support to capitalize on its effect, Tang Hao could likely escape unscathed.

Su Ming, seeing Qian Renxue's trust, was slightly surprised but stayed cautious, as he knew she wouldn't usually trust others so easily. However, since her question didn't pose any risk to him, he decided to offer a suggestion.

"Qian Renxue, don't you also have two Title Douluos by your side? Why not send them along with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo? Four Title Douluos should be enough to handle Tang Hao."

But then Su Ming paused—four might not be enough. His assumption relied on Tang Hao's injuries preventing him from using his explosive ring technique at full power. However, now that Tang Hao seemed to have formed an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it was highly possible his injuries were being treated.

The chances were high, Su Ming thought. After all, if a healer could help Tang San and his teammates recover from severe injuries overnight, they might be capable of treating Tang Hao's injuries, too. In that case, even four Title Douluos might struggle.

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. "Su Ming, what's on your mind? Do you think four might not be enough?"

Su Ming replied, "It's possible. If Tang Hao has regained his full strength, four might not cut it. His record of defeating Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo and seriously injuring Qian Xunji speaks volumes. I'd suggest using Snake Spear and Porcupinefish Douluo as bait to lure Tang Hao out, while Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo can hide and prepare their fusion skill to ambush him."

Qian Renxue nodded, intrigued. "That strategy sounds effective. I agree; it increases the chances of success."

Su Ming continued, "Of course, adding a few more Title Douluos would only improve the odds, though it could tip off the other sects. Spirit Hall should be careful not to reveal too many of its assets at once."

This strategy seemed sound, but Su Ming knew that sending even more Title Douluos could still raise suspicions among the three great sects and both empires. They still underestimated Spirit Hall's full strength, not knowing about the hidden reserves within the Elder Hall, let alone the seven great elders of the Worship Hall, each at level 96 and above.

As Qian Renxue pondered this, a cold voice interrupted. "How do you know about our martial soul fusion skill?"

Su Ming turned to see a figure emerging from the shadows. The man's face bore black markings—Ghost Douluo himself. Ghost Douluo was a master of concealment, and even with Su Ming's advanced spiritual perception, he hadn't noticed his presence.

Su Ming kept his composure, nodding politely as he faced Ghost Douluo. His awareness of Spirit Hall's tactics hadn't gone unnoticed, and he suspected his answers would be held to high scrutiny.


Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Su Ming: Setting Up a Flag, Are We?

If Bibi Dong or Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo had detected Tang Hao's presence in the original story, they wouldn't have been so shocked when he appeared with the Clear Sky Hammer. Even Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, seemed completely unalert to him.

This left Su Ming somewhat puzzled—was Tang Hao's stealth ability really that remarkable? There were so many Title Douluos present; could none of them sense Tang Hao lurking nearby? Perhaps some had noticed but pretended not to; otherwise, it would be a plot inconsistency.

Su Ming replied calmly, "Qian Renxue, this must be Ghost Douluo, right? I heard about the fusion skill from Dugu Bo."

Su Ming casually threw out an excuse; Ghost Douluo was unlikely to seek out Dugu Bo for clarification. Besides, the fusion skill of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo was well-known among powerful spirit masters, so most would have heard about it.

Ghost Douluo relaxed a bit, knowing Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo had clashed frequently in the past. Since this fusion skill was no secret, he stopped questioning Su Ming. Standing silently to the side, he watched Su Ming and Qian Renxue continue their discussion.

"So, it's decided. We'll deploy four Title Douluos to intercept Tang San and Tang Hao. But one question remains—if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or Dugu Bo intervenes, what then?" Qian Renxue looked to Su Ming.

Patting his chest, Su Ming assured her, "No worries. I'll make sure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Dugu Bo stay out of it. And by the way, there's something unusual about Tang San's Blue Silver Grass; it seems to have undergone an evil mutation, allowing it to absorb others' spirit power and bloodline attributes!"

"What?" Qian Renxue feigned shock, as did Ghost Douluo, who responded gravely, "Kid, if you have proof, that would make Tang San an evil spirit master!"

Su Ming shrugged. "No proof, but you can observe Tang San's Blue Silver Grass closely. I don't need to lie to you. You're already planning to take action against him, so why complicate things?"

"Also, I'm curious. Why has Spirit Hall suddenly decided to target Tang San and Tang Hao? Are they truly that big of a threat?" Su Ming asked.

Ghost Douluo, after hearing Su Ming's reasoning, saw its logic. Since Qian Renxue had hinted that Su Ming might be interested in joining Spirit Hall, there was no need for him to fabricate details.

Qian Renxue, adopting a slightly 'resentful' look, explained, "Actually, we hadn't planned any major moves during the Spirit Master Tournament, but Tang Hao has been increasingly aggressive these past two months."

"Apparently, Tang San once had an external spirit bone that our Spirit Hall members seized from him. Ever since, Tang Hao has been causing constant trouble for Spirit Hall, yet we could never locate them."

"Although Tang Hao has always been a nuisance, recently he's been more active. And just these past days, many spirit masters have mysteriously vanished near Spirit Hall's branch in Heaven Dou City."

At this, Qian Renxue paused, then turned to Ghost Douluo, saying, "Elder Ghost, it seems Su Ming's words hold weight. These disappearances may very well be Tang Hao capturing spirit masters for Tang San to absorb."

"Of course, Tang San wouldn't dare use this ability openly in the tournament, but outside the arena, it would allow him to grow his power rapidly."

Su Ming observed Qian Renxue's lingering look and felt a twinge of concern. Had she figured him out? But that seemed impossible. He and Dugu Bo had acted discreetly.

Ghost Douluo's face grew darker. "I never expected Tang Hao to have fallen this far after all these years!"

Su Ming replied nonchalantly, "Well, isn't it Spirit Hall's responsibility to deal with evil spirit masters?"

Qian Renxue nodded. "Don't worry, Su Ming. We'll be sending four Title Douluos, including the fusion skill of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. Tang Hao has no chance of escaping—there won't be any surprises!"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow. Setting up a flag here, huh? You were this confident in the original story too. Let's hope nothing unexpected happens.

After finalizing the plans, Su Ming left Heaven Dou Palace.

Over the next two days, as expected, Tang San and his two teammates didn't participate in the matches, and Thunderclap Academy sent substitute players for their match against Godwind Academy, practically forfeiting.

This decision puzzled Su Ming. If Tang San and his team couldn't play, why not let Dai Mubai join? Was he that weak?

With the preliminary round over, Thunderclap Academy advanced, sharing fourth place with Skywater Academy, despite losses to Blazing Academy, Skywater Academy, and Godwind Academy.

Unbeknownst to Su Ming, over these two days, Tang San had used his injuries as an excuse to have Tang Hao bring him 'evil' spirit masters for consumption, pushing his power level past rank 50.
