章節 410: Chapter 410: Su Ming: Lou Gao's Death is Suspicious (Part 2)

[Lou Gao had actually asked Tang San about this, but since Tang San and Tang Hao were both unavailable, Tang San arranged for Tang Xiao to assist Lou Gao, using his Clear Sky Hammer to soften the materials.]

[If Tang Xiao was there helping, why would he allow Lou Gao to throw himself into the furnace?]

[Lou Gao's value far surpassed that of the three hidden weapons.]

[As long as Lou Gao was alive, he could continue making these weapons even in Tang San's absence. Tang Xiao must have known this; so, why did it happen? It's a point worth considering!]

[Only Lou Gao could craft these three hidden weapons—neither Titan nor Tang Hao had his skill.]

[Although all three were master smiths, their focus differed: Titan and Tang Hao were skilled in making individual parts, while Lou Gao excelled at precision work.]

[Previously, I didn't think much about it, but on reflection, it feels wrong!]

[Lou Gao was only at the Soul Douluo level, while Tang Xiao was a 96th-level powerhouse. There's no way Lou Gao would throw himself into the furnace if Tang Xiao didn't allow it.]

[If they genuinely needed someone to awaken the metal's hidden power, Lou Gao wouldn't have been the one; Tang Xiao would have found the lowest-ranking person instead and ensured Lou Gao continued contributing to Tang Sect.]

[But that's not what happened. Lou Gao died in mysterious circumstances.]

[Lou Gao was the only person besides Tang San who knew how to make these three hidden weapons. Given Tang San's personality, would he eliminate Lou Gao to keep this knowledge secret?]

[With Lou Gao gone, Tang San alone would hold the skill to craft these formidable weapons.]

[By the time Tang Sect had expanded, Tang San had planned to make these weapons its core treasures. For that, only a few were needed; even one would suffice to showcase their value.]

[It's highly plausible Lou Gao's death was no accident and that Tang San had some hand in it. Perhaps he even hinted to Tang Xiao that once Lou Gao finished crafting the weapons, he should be discarded. That way, Lou Gao's death could be conveniently blamed on the forging process, with no one left to question it.]

[And when Tang San returned, all he had to do was put on a grieving face to deflect suspicion.]

[After all, Tang San's acting skills were top-notch, and nobody would suspect he was capable of such a thing.]

[People also ignored that Tang Xiao was there helping with the forging! Normally, such work is done in seclusion—Tang Xiao would have no reason to step away. The odds of that happening were practically zero!]

[In my view, Lou Gao was nothing more than a pawn for Tang San, used to create his prized weapons.]

[Tang San refused to teach Oscar and others even the basics of Mysterious Heaven Technique or Tang Sect skills. Why would he suddenly be willing to hand over his blueprints for these hidden weapons to Lou Gao?]

[Something about this doesn't add up at all.]

The women reading Su Ming's journal found themselves deep in thought.

Though Su Ming's conclusions were conjectural, they rang with a certain logic. Even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, seasoned leaders accustomed to power plays, felt his hypothesis was likely correct.

Just as Su Ming noted, if someone truly had to sacrifice themselves in the forging process, it wouldn't have been Lou Gao. Tang Xiao would have chosen another individual, ensuring Lou Gao could continue serving Tang Sect. But in reality, Lou Gao died—an ambiguous death that didn't sit right.

[Lou Gao's value is immense, and I know it well. So this time, I must secure him before Tang San can.]

[I still have a wealth of spirit tool blueprints. I don't believe Lou Gao won't be intrigued!]

[If these spirit tools come to light, they could change the landscape of the Douluo Continent as they did in the future.]

[Right now, spirit masters rely on personal power, but with the right spirit tools, even lower-level spirit masters could compete above their rank. For support-type spirit masters, this could mean self-defense or even the power to defeat opponents!]

[In the future, tournaments are nothing like now; external tools and weapons are allowed, marking a significant shift.]

As Su Ming wrote that future tournaments allowed the use of external tools, the women were startled. To them, this seemed as if it would introduce unfair advantages in contests.

After all, with external tools allowed, competitions would test more than personal and team strength; they would test the depth of one's connections. Without restrictions on spirit tools, a spirit master with access to high-level equipment could dominate opponents, regardless of skill.

Su Ming soon addressed this concern:

[And spirit tools had no restrictions. Competitors could wield spirit tools provided by their connections to fight.]

[In my opinion, this isn't fair. The use of spirit tools should be based on a spirit master's own skills or the team's abilities. That's how the fairness of the contest is preserved.]

[Otherwise, if one side has superior technology, the odds shift in their favor. While absolute fairness is rare, competitions should aim to be as fair as possible!]

[Learning about these future tournament rules was bewildering to me; what's the point of competing when skill becomes secondary to equipment?]

[Victory would then belong to the side with the most advanced spirit tools.]

After finishing his notes, Su Ming sighed deeply. Uncle Ning had already set out for Gengxin City with Jian Ye. Su Ming hoped Lou Gao would survive this time.

With his knowledge of Lou Gao's curious nature, he knew the legendary blacksmith would be intrigued by the designs, especially if some mystery remained. After the spirit master tournament, Su Ming planned to personally visit Gengxin City to recruit Lou Gao.

And if he could persuade the entire Blacksmith Association, so much the better.

章節 411: Chapter 411: The Blue Silver Domain

After finishing his journal entry, Su Ming exhaled deeply. Although he was confident in winning over Lou Gao with his spirit tool blueprints, he knew Lou Gao and the Blacksmith Association held deep-seated resentment toward the Spirit Hall due to the corruption in the Gengxin City branch. Winning their trust could prove challenging.

He thought to himself that it was something he'd just have to deal with as it came.

Meanwhile, Su Ming planned to set out for Gengxin City right after the Spirit Master Tournament, hoping not only to recruit Lou Gao but also to dismantle the local branch there. Little did he know, Bibi Dong had already begun taking action.

The next few days flew by. Su Ming spent his time alternating between training and bonding with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others. In the meantime, he even got the chance to interact with people from Tianshui and Blazing Fire Academy, especially Shui Yue'er, who seemed surprisingly enthusiastic toward him, almost suspiciously so.

Su Ming couldn't help but wonder if she might actually have feelings for him.

One noteworthy update came the day after the preliminary rounds ended. Through her connection to the Blue Silver Grass, Ah Yin learned that Tang Hao had left Heaven Dou City at dawn with Tang San, headed toward the Star Dou Forest. She quickly relayed this information to Su Ming.

Su Ming asked, "Ah Yin, did you manage to do what I asked?"

Ah Yin nodded. "Yes. The Blue Silver King who guards the ancestral land now knows I'm still alive and was overjoyed to hear it. He's already spread the word to all Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Kings."

"I also asked him to seal off the ancestral grounds temporarily and hide away for a while. After learning the situation, the Blue Silver King agreed immediately. He won't assist Tang San in awakening his bloodline."

Su Ming then asked with curiosity, "Ah Yin, if Tang San hunts another spirit beast for his fifth spirit ring and doesn't awaken his bloodline now, will he still have the chance later?"

"Yes. The best time for awakening is at level fifty because his body can handle it at that point. Also, upon awakening, Tang San would automatically receive a fifth spirit ring, which would grow with his power, eventually reaching one hundred thousand years."

Su Ming nodded, satisfied that his guess had been correct. With Ah Yin on guard, Tang San had no chance of awakening his bloodline. Still, to ensure no further surprises, Su Ming decided it was best to take care of Tang Hao and Tang San after the tournament ended.

At the Star Dou Forest, Tang Hao arrived at the Blue Silver Domain, guided by his memory. However, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"How strange. This is supposed to be the place Ah Yin mentioned, but it's sealed?" Tang Hao muttered in confusion.

"Father, is this the Blue Silver Domain? How do we get inside?" Tang San asked, concerned.

Tang Hao sighed inwardly, Ah Yin, forgive me for having to break this seal. You once told me to bring our son here at level fifty to awaken his bloodline, so I'm sure you'll understand if I do this for his sake.

Ah Yin, upon hearing this through her Blue Silver Grass connection, was stunned. She couldn't believe Tang Hao would force his way into the Blue Silver Domain. Su Ming, too, was aware of this, as he could see everything Ah Yin saw.

"Ah Yin, do you still need more proof of Tang Hao's true nature? He has no regard for you! That seal contains a trace of your energy, yet he doesn't hesitate for a second to break it."

Ah Yin had to admit Su Ming was right. Her previous loyalty seemed like a bitter joke. Tang Hao, to awaken his son's bloodline, would trample over her legacy without remorse.

Tang San, meanwhile, was taken aback by his father's actions. "Father, are you sure this is okay? Will this cause any problems?"

Tang Hao waved him off. "No worries. I'm sure this seal was set by your mother to protect the ancestral grounds. Bringing you here at this time was her will."

"As I've told you, the Blue Silver Grass tribe is weak. Other than your mother, the Blue Silver King and the rest of the Blue Silver Grass lack combat power. She likely set this seal as a barrier against outsiders."

"We're family, so once we see the Blue Silver King, we can explain everything."

Assured by his father's reasoning, Tang San didn't press the issue further. Meanwhile, Su Ming and Ah Yin, watching everything, couldn't help but fall silent at Tang Hao's confident, self-justifying words.

They saw Tang Hao lead Tang San smoothly through the barrier and into the domain.

Tang San marveled at the sight of the lush Blue Silver Grass filling the landscape, yet he was puzzled by the absence of the Blue Silver King, even though they'd made quite a ruckus getting in.

Tang Hao called out, "Blue Silver King, I am Ah Yin's husband, and this is her son. You may already know that Ah Yin met a tragic fate at the hands of the Spirit Hall. Today, we've come to ask you to awaken his bloodline so he may become the new Blue Silver King!"

"Xiao San, release your Blue Silver Grass spirit, along with your hundred-thousand-year right leg spirit bone."

As Su Ming watched Tang Hao, he couldn't help but laugh at the irony. Tang San had yet to realize his spirit bone's actual level. Likely, the bone had gone unused due to its inadequacy, but now... well, he couldn't wait to see Tang San's reaction upon discovering he'd been nurturing a mere hundred-year spirit bone.
