Chapter 125: Tang Hao Suspects He Was Cuckolded?
[In other words, while he was in that shabby place called Suo Tuo City, without a Mimicry Training Ground and spending his days indulging in pleasure and idleness.]
[In just three years, he forcefully raised his soul power by twelve levels!]
[No exaggeration, no bias.]
[Although I don't think highly of Dai Mubai's character and consider him a coward who abandoned his fiancée, this cannot be denied: his cultivation talent is undoubtedly not a problem.]
[Unfortunately, the strength of the White Tiger martial soul is ultimately still a step weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul automatically unlocks the secret technique of "Dragon Transformation" once it reaches a certain rank, and each part that undergoes dragonification brings enormous amplification.]
[As for the White Tiger martial soul, aside from its naturally powerful attributes, it doesn't possess any special inherited secret techniques.]
[Besides, I'm actually quite curious. In the original story, when Dai Mubai went to Shrek Academy, he claimed he was just slacking off and escaping the brutal competition of the Star Luo royal family.]
[But even so, in three years he still improved so quickly—that is truly a bit unbelievable.]
[This kind of "appearing to slack off on the surface while actually improving at a steady pace" behavior reminds me of someone else.]
[Tang Hao!]
[This is exactly like Tang Hao back in Holy Soul Village.]
[Drinking heavily all day, living in a dazed stupor. Even when forging iron, he needed little Tang San to take care of him. Basically, you could never see him cultivating.]
[But what was the result?]
[More than ten years later, the cultivation he revealed during the Soul Master Tournament was an astonishing Rank 95!]
[You must know that when Ah Yin sacrificed herself to him back then, he had only just broken through Rank 90.]
[That hundred-thousand-year soul ring could, at most, push him from Rank 90 to the peak of Rank 92.]
[Yet in just a little over ten years, in a remote mountain village, without any resource assistance, and even carrying old injuries, he still managed to break through from Rank 92 to Rank 95?]
[That is equally unbelievable!]
[Every single level of a Titled Douluo is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. How exactly did he do it?]
[Admittedly, Tang Hao's talent truly speaks for itself. Breaking through to Titled Douluo at forty-four years old made him the youngest Titled Douluo on record.]
[But I still have reason to doubt him.]
[Back in Holy Soul Village, he probably wasn't nearly as heartbroken and despondent as Ah Yin believed on the surface.]
[Or rather, he was certainly sad, but his sorrow was definitely not purely because Ah Yin sacrificed herself.]
[More likely, it was because the Clear Sky Sect was forced to seal itself off due to him, and his father died from anger. Those things filled him with guilt and rage.]
[So during that period, he was probably converting grief and anger into motivation, secretly cultivating like a madman.]
[Only then could his cultivation reach Rank 95 in such an environment.]
[The reason I say this is actually quite simple. Just look at Tang San's treatment when he was young.]
[If Tang Hao truly loved Ah Yin that deeply, then before her death, she clearly told him to take good care of their son.]
[But what did Tang Hao actually do? He didn't treat Tang San well at all!]
[Not only did he barely take care of him, but he even let a child, only a few years old, take care of him, a drunkard.]
[He even fundamentally didn't want Tang San to become a soul master! Does that look like the behavior of a man who deeply loves his wife?]
[And the main reason Tang Hao wasn't good to Tang San was actually because Tang San himself caused it.]
[From the moment he became aware of things, at the age of two or three, he had already begun cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tang Sect techniques in the back mountain of Holy Soul Village. In Tang Hao's eyes, as a Titled Douluo, that was an extremely strange matter.]
[At such a young age, not only could he cultivate, but he could also cook and even take care of him. Who wouldn't start thinking suspiciously about that?]
[Who is Tang Hao? The youngest Titled Douluo on the continent, a man who has seen the world.]
[Watching his son, who had only recently been born, display such monstrous behavior that barely resembled a normal human child, what would he think?]
[He would definitely become suspicious!]
[He might even start thinking: This child… is he really my seed?]
[Or could it be that Ah Yin, back then…]
[With this kind of preconceived "cuckold" suspicion, combined with his hatred toward Spirit Hall, how could Tang Hao possibly show Tang San a pleasant face?]
[Even when Tang San was six years old, if it weren't for Old Jack, the village chief, desperately persuading him and even angrily scolding him.]
[Tang Hao simply wouldn't have allowed Tang San to participate in the martial soul awakening ceremony!]
[Because he was afraid. Afraid that the awakened martial soul wouldn't be the Clear Sky Hammer. At that point, the cuckold's hat would truly be firmly placed on his head!]
…
Inside the soul tool.
Ah Yin's heart was filled with grievance and shock.
She had always believed that Tang Hao had lost all hope in life after losing her, and that was why he had neglected their son.
But now, what Lin Yuan wrote in his diary seemed to expose a completely different truth.
She couldn't confirm whether Lin Yuan's words were actually true.
However, when Tang San was young, Tang Hao truly didn't treat him very well… that was something she personally sensed, something impossible to deny.
And that just happened to prove that Tang Hao might not have trusted her as much as she once believed.
Seeing all of this now, Ah Yin only felt bitterness in her heart. She realized how foolish her past self had been.
Her sacrifice had become nothing more than a joke.
Fortunately, now that she was following Lin Yuan, she could start over again.
A sentence with double meaning.
…
[This speculation is definitely not groundless. After Tang San completed his awakening and excitedly showed Tang Hao his awakened martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, while also telling him he possessed innate full soul power.]
[What was Tang Hao's reaction?]
[Excited? Proud?]
[No!]
[His attitude was extremely cold, even to the point of complete disappointment!]
[For a soul master, what does innate full soul power represent? It represents a peerless genius!]
[Yet Tang Hao showed no excitement at all!]
[Why?]
[Because in the eyes of a Clear Sky Sect inheritor like him, the quality of the Clear Sky Hammer is absolutely superior to Blue Silver Grass.]
[But Tang San awakened Blue Silver Grass instead of the powerful Clear Sky Hammer.]
[In Tang Hao's eyes, that only further confirmed the suspicion in his heart: This child really does have a problem!]
[However, immediately afterwards, the situation reversed.]
[When Tang San tried to prove himself and extended his left hand, revealing his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao's attitude underwent a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree reversal!]
[It was practically like face-changing in Sichuan opera!]
[One second, he was icy cold; the next second, he rushed forward, grabbed Tang San into a tight embrace, tears streaming down his face as he cried out affectionately, "Son! My son!
[Why? Because martial souls are inherited through bloodlines!]
[Since Tang San could awaken the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, it proved that undeniable evidence of Tang Hao's blood flowed through him!]
[Which meant that all those previous suspicions about being cuckolded were completely wrong!]
[This child truly was his biological son, Tang Hao's own flesh and blood!]
[And at that moment, all doubt vanished into thin air.]
