[Little Demoness: This... who knows? Is a genius's age important?]
[The Fox Is the Most Innocent: Don't they all come out to gain experience in their teens or twenties, and then encounter their true love?]
Lu Ming chuckled, his fingers tapping unhurriedly on the screen.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Tang Hao was thirty-five when he met Ah Yin.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): And the year Ah Yin sacrificed herself and Tang Hao became a Titled Douluo, he was forty-four.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): A Spirit Douluo of over level eighty, parading around the continent with a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast for nine years before being 'discovered' by the Spirit Hall.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): More coincidentally, when he was discovered, Tang Hao's spirit power was stuck exactly at level eighty-nine, and he immediately needed a ninth spirit ring to break through the bottleneck of becoming a Titled Douluo.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Then, they encountered a certain-death situation.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Don't you all think that all of this is just too coincidental?]
The young girls, who had just been immersed in the love story, instantly snapped back to reality.
That's right...
Too coincidental.
It was so coincidental that it seemed like a pre-written script.
[Little Demoness: This... this does indeed seem a bit coincidental...]
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the screen, not even noticing that the papaya milk in her hand had spilled all over the floor.
Born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she had been influenced by her surroundings since childhood, and her sensitivity to people's schemes far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Previously, she had been moved by the tragic atmosphere of the story, but now, being pointed out by the Group Owner, countless doubts instantly flooded her mind.
Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong, who had been leaning lazily on her throne, slowly sat up straight.
A thoughtful light flickered in her golden eyes, and her slender fingers unconsciously brushed against the armrest.
Coincidence?
Although she had been imprisoned in the secret room back then, she had learned about the entire process afterward.
Being reminded by Lu Ming, she also sensed that something was wrong.
[Supreme Pontiff: It seems... there really are some coincidences.]
[Supreme Pontiff: The timing of Ah Yin's sacrifice back then was indeed too perfect.]
[Supreme Pontiff: Moreover, what puzzles me the most is how a newly breakthrough Titled Douluo could fight one against three and heavily injure Qian Daoliu, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo?]
[Supreme Pontiff: Qian Xunji was a level ninety-seven Peak Douluo at that time, and both Chrysanthemum and Ghost were veteran Titled Douluos at level ninety-five. Such a record is simply not logical!]
Bibi Dong's words carried more weight than Lu Ming's questioning.
She was the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall and one of the parties involved; her words almost confirmed that there was another hidden truth behind this matter!
[My Cat is White and Big: Could it be... Tang Hao had calculated everything from the beginning, including the spirit ring and Spirit Bone obtained after the sacrifice, as well as the subsequent surge in combat power?]
Zhu Zhuqing's speculation made the air in the entire Chat Group freeze.
[I Have No Mother: Hiss...!]
In the Eastern Palace of Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue gasped, feeling a chill rush from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
If all of this were true, then how deep and terrifying must this man's scheming be!
[Gentle Fire Dragon: Holy crap! It couldn't be true, right? Group Owner, tell us in detail what exactly happened!]
In the Dean's office of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong slammed the table, her face full of shock and anger.
What she hated most were scumbags who toyed with feelings!
[Poison Fairy: If it's true, then Tang Hao's heart is too poisonous, ten thousand times more poisonous than snake venom!]
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Inside an elegantly decorated girls' dormitory, a faint fragrance and a hint of medicinal herbs filled the air.
Dugu Yan was lying on her side on a soft bed, wearing only a dark green silk nightgown that outlined her curvaceous and hot body.
Her long, straight jade legs were crossed without any cover, and her skin was dazzlingly white under the light, like the finest porcelain, emitting an alluring luster.
Her friend, the number one genius of the healing department at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ye Lingling, was sitting by the bed, her hands suspended over Dugu Yan's back.
The Nine Heart Begonia Spirit emitted a soft white halo, slowly injecting into Dugu Yan's body, alleviating the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison she had inherited from her grandfather.
"Hiss—"
When she saw the analysis from Bibi Dong and Zhu Zhuqing in the group, Dugu Yan could no longer hold back, took a sharp breath, and sprang up from the bed.
This movement was so large that the silky nightgown's shoulder strap instantly slipped off, exposing a large area of her snowy shoulders and delicate collarbones to the air, and even a glimpse of the deep curve of her chest.
But at this moment, she had no mind to care about these things.
Her mind was filled with that subversive conclusion.
Clear Sky Douluo!
The genius who was hailed as a once-in-a-century talent of the World's Number One Sect, the man who angrily fought against the entire Spirit Hall for his lover, was actually a complete conspirator?
"Yanyan, don't move!"
Ye Lingling was startled by her, and the healing light became a bit chaotic. She complained helplessly, "I'm helping you with the treatment; the toxin has finally been suppressed a little."
The small jade mirror floating in front of Dugu Yan, after being bound, was invisible to outsiders except for herself.
So Ye Lingling had no idea what could make her fearless friend so startled.
Inside the Chat Group.
The Blue Silver Grass in the cave trembled violently, as if struggling in a gale.
[My Son Is Not a Bastard: Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! This is just your guess! Tang Hao is not that kind of person!]
Ah Yin's consciousness roared.
She could not accept that the love she had given everything to protect, the sacrifice she was proud of, was actually a carefully planned scam in the eyes of others!
Seeing Ah Yin's intense rebuttal, the smile on Lu Ming's face deepened.
This was exactly what he wanted; the greater the emotional fluctuation, the richer the rewards from the system.
He decided to add more fuel to the fire.
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): A guess? Heh, it seems you know nothing about Spirit Beast transformation.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): When a Spirit Beast transforms into a human, before their spirit power reaches level sixty, they are in the 'Juvenile Phase'. During this period, although they look no different from humans, their aura and some subtle characteristics are completely exposed in the eyes of truly powerful experts.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): Only when the spirit power breaks through level sixty and enters the 'Transition Phase' will the Spirit Beast's aura be completely assimilated with humans and can no longer be distinguished.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): When Tang Hao met Ah Yin, Ah Yin's spirit power hadn't reached level sixty yet.]
[Heavenly Emperor Lu (Group Owner): In other words, from the first day they met, Tang Hao knew very well that the innocent young girl in front of him was a walking hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone.]
