Chapter 59: Toga Boldly Decides to Report
As Tang Hao watched the brief mention of his location on the screen get buried by an avalanche of similar reports, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a mocking tone, he posted in the chat:
[Tang Hao (mocking): Come on, Spirit Hall, come find me! If you do, you might eliminate the threat to your precious organization, but it seems you're not up to the task!]
Bibi Dong's elegant face turned sour as she read Tang Hao's taunts. She hadn't anticipated that there would be so many pairs of father and son named Tang Hao and Tang San across the entire Douluo Continent. The situation was downright infuriating.
Tang Hao wasn't a commoner; how could he give his child such an ordinary name as Tang San? It was absurd!
Because the screen was flooded with countless messages claiming to have information on Tang Hao and Tang San, the Spirit Hall operatives could only jot down a few leads. Unfortunately, none of these leads included the real Tang Hao and Tang San in Holy Spirit Village.
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Hall's branch at Nuoding City, the famous "Tool Man," "Single Dog," and "Blind Douluo," Su Yuntao, were also watching the live stream.
Upon learning that the Clear Sky Douluo's son was named Tang San, Su Yuntao's mind flashed back to that child he met in Holy Spirit Village.
A child with innate full soul power and a Blue Silver Grass spirit?
Su Yuntao began to ponder deeply.
Considering what was revealed in the third livestream, where it was shown that Tang San's mother, Ah Yin, was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast, the situation started making more sense. A Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power was nearly impossible unless it was mutated.
But if that child was indeed born from a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Grass Spirit Beast, it would explain everything. Only such an extraordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit could have such a high innate soul power!
So, could this child named Tang San be the same as Tang San from the livestream?
The more Su Yuntao thought about it, the more certain he became. The child from Holy Spirit Village matched the mysterious Lin Yu's description of the Clear Sky Douluo's son perfectly.
Although Su Yuntao wasn't sure if the child's father was named Tang Hao, he was already preparing to send a letter to the main Spirit Hall.
Names could be hidden, but unique characteristics could not lie.
If Su Yuntao were Tang Hao, having offended the Spirit Hall, he would certainly go into hiding under a false identity. If he dug too deeply and discovered Tang Hao's real name, it could alert them and put him in danger.
Rather than risking his life, Su Yuntao decided to play it safe. He would pretend not to know anything and secretly send a letter to Spirit City. Initially, he considered delivering the message himself, but given the risks, he quickly dismissed the idea.
If Tang San's father was indeed the Clear Sky Douluo, he would likely scrutinize anyone who might know his secret. Su Yuntao, as a member of the Spirit Hall, would be a prime target.
If he were to travel to Spirit City now, the Clear Sky Douluo, with his immense power, could easily catch up to him and kill him before he arrived. His best chance to stay alive was to remain inconspicuous and send the letter in secret. Hopefully, this strategy would make the Clear Sky Douluo hesitate to act, keeping Su Yuntao safe.
Even though Su Yuntao had no ill feelings towards Tang San, as a Spirit Hall official—and with a certain goddess named Sisi to pursue—he felt he had no choice. Besides, considering what the mysterious Lin Yu had said, if Tang San was indeed the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, he could one day plunge the entire Douluo Continent into chaos.
Combining this with the live stream where Tang San destroyed the Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao was now convinced that Lin Yu had been telling the truth.
As a Spirit Hall officer, Su Yuntao knew how much the Hall had done for the continent. For one, they provided free spirit awakenings for commoners, offering hope to those who might become spirit masters. Additionally, the Hall issued monthly stipends to lower-ranked spirit masters, ensuring they could afford education and necessities. Without this support, these low-level spirit masters left with no means of survival, could cause significant unrest.
Therefore, Su Yuntao was firmly against the Clear Sky Douluo and his son.
…
[Ding! This livestream Q&A has concluded. The chatroom will close in three minutes. You are free to exit at any time.]
[The next livestream Q&A will take place in one month!]
After Lin Yu answered the final question correctly and the heated argument between Tang Hao and the Spirit Hall died down, the message appeared in bold red text, signaling the end of the session. The cold, mechanical voice echoed in everyone's ears.
One month later, huh?
Realizing the next session wouldn't be for another month, many viewers exited the chatroom with deep thoughts swirling in their minds. Lin Yu was among them.
In Spirit City, Lin Yu exited the chatroom and sat on his bed, staring out the window in contemplation.
This livestream had been lucrative, but it might also lead to developments beyond Lin Yu's control. Of course, this was all part of his plan.
If Lin Yu had only revealed Tang San's name, the situation might not have escalated like this. But he chose to expose Tang San's identity as the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, which had far-reaching implications.
Lin Yu had another reason for doing this. He realized that since he had already exposed Tang Hao's identity, Tang San might no longer attend Nuoding Academy. The chances were slim.
Now that Tang Hao's true identity was out, he would likely leave Holy Spirit Village with Tang San soon. This could be Lin Yu's only chance to sabotage them.
Without Tang San, finding Tang Hao in the vast Douluo Continent would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with both names, narrowing down their location became much easier.
Lin Yu hadn't anticipated that so many father-son pairs with those names existed across the continent, but that might work in his favor. It could lull Tang Hao into a false sense of security, making him delay his departure from Holy Spirit Village.
After all, with Lin Yu's meddling, Ah Yin had left Tang Hao. Tang Hao might cling to the village, hoping to find her there, which could give Spirit Hall the perfect opportunity.
The real challenge now was ensuring Spirit Hall discovered Tang Hao and Tang San in Holy Spirit Village.
Haha, I'm quite fond of Toga. I think he deserves some benefits.
