Chapter 149: Tang Hao, You Finally Came Out!

Chapter 149: Tang Hao, You Finally Came Out!

"Young Master, are you alright?"

She Long looked at Qian Renxue's furrowed brows, and asked with some concern.

He couldn't quite understand what was going on with Qian Renxue.

Whenever she had any free time, she would space out as if she were deep in thought. At times, she would frown, while other times, she would smile faintly. This behavior left him quite perplexed.

"Huh?"

Qian Renxue was startled for a moment before snapping back to reality.

"Uncle She Long, I'm fine, just thinking about some things."

"As long as you're alright, Young Master."

Hearing this, She Long finally breathed a sigh of relief. His greatest fear was that something would happen to Qian Renxue, and as for what she was thinking about, he knew better than to pry.

Knowing what to ask and what not to ask was something She Long understood well.

After She Long left, Qian Renxue rested her right hand under her chin, blinked, and once again fell into deep thought.

Over the past few days, whenever she had the time, she would ponder one question: does she truly like Kong, or does she just want him as a "tool"?

Kong's talent was undeniable, even she, Qian Renxue, couldn't compare to him. Her original plan was to make Kong submit to her.

Even if the two were to unite, it would only be a choice based on talent—love was never part of the equation.

But as time went on, her feelings changed. She realized that she had developed a bit of affection for Kong. This feeling was indescribable, something she couldn't quite grasp.

It wasn't just because of Kong's talent or strength.

After a long while, Qian Renxue murmured to herself, "Could this be what they call love?"

"No, it feels more like one-sided affection—what kind of love is that?"

At this point, Qian Renxue let out a bitter smile. She genuinely couldn't understand.

After all, she had approached Kong with her true appearance, yet he remained completely indifferent!

What could the reason be?

Could it be that he had sensed her ulterior motives from the start?

And that's why he had said such things.

However, Qian Renxue wasn't discouraged by this. The more challenging something was, the more it piqued her interest. If Kong had acted like a fool from the beginning, no matter how much she appreciated his talent and strength, she wouldn't have liked him!

Perhaps this is the charm of love on the Continent...

Qian Renxue was very busy, and after realizing her feelings, she didn't rush to find Kong. On the contrary, she felt no urgency.

She didn't believe that with her charm, and if she "persisted" long enough, Kong would remain unmoved!

But for now, she didn't have the time.

There was still plenty of time ahead!

As the pitch-black night swiftly retreated with the rising sun, Kong's face was somewhat pale. His hand, which was supporting him against the wall, was trembling slightly.

There was no need to even think about what he had gone through last night.

"Phew… I survived!"

Kong let out a long breath of stale air and sighed.

Carefully, he made his way to the kitchen to prepare some restorative supplements for himself.

It was around seven o'clock when Kong finally left the hotel. He exited Heaven Dou City and then began his physical training.

Given his body's strength, ordinary exercise wasn't enough to have any real effect.

After moving far enough from Heaven Dou City, Kong finally released his martial spirit.

"Second Soul Skill: Falling Thunder!"

In the sky, purple lightning rolled within the clouds before slicing through the air, descending directly onto Kong's head.

In an instant, Kong's body trembled, his muscles twitching uncontrollably.

Though his body was immune to the thunder attribute, the purple lightning still caused a tingling sensation.

"If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm!"

"Again!"

"Second Soul Skill: Falling Thunder!"

Kong hadn't trained like this in a long time. In the past, he had relied on this soul skill and the thunder of General Raiden or Ei's summoned lightning for training.

This method was known as Thunder Body Refining! By using lightning, it stimulated cellular activity and absorbed the energy within the thunder.

This time, Kong didn't ask for help from General Raiden or Ei; he wanted to experience "real thunder" rather than controlled, weakened lightning.

What he was doing had a hint of recklessness, but since he was immune to the thunder attribute, it wasn't easy for him to get hurt.

With a loud boom, another bolt of lightning struck down, landing squarely on Kong's head.

Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao was stunned by what he saw!

He had been wondering why Kong had run so far out early in the morning.

Seeing Kong training like this, Tang Hao couldn't help but gasp in shock! Even he wouldn't dare to receive such powerful lightning directly!

"Wait, does he have seven soul rings now?"

Tang Hao blinked in confusion, rubbing his eyes and counting on his fingers.

"One, two, three… seven!"

"He really has seven soul rings?!"

Tang Hao's mouth hung open, speechless, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

The last time he had seen this kid, Kong had only been at level 62. Now, he was actually a Soul Saint with seven rings!

How long has it been? Not even half a year!

Judging from the fluctuations emanating from Kong's body, he was at least at level 73. From level 62 to 73—that was over ten levels in such a short time!

Originally, Tang Hao had planned to visit Tang Yuehua in Heaven Dou City, as the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy wasn't far from the city, and it wouldn't take long to make a quick trip.

But just as he reached the city gates, he saw Kong walking out.

After a brief moment of thought, Tang Hao made a decision.

Seeing Tang Yuehua could wait; it wasn't urgent.

What mattered now was figuring out what was going on with Kong!

He never expected that after following Kong here, he would witness such "training." This method—he hadn't just never seen it before; he had never even heard of it!

"This kid is too much of a genius, there's no way he could be used by my Clear Sky Clan. Should I…?"

Tang Hao hesitated. Should he take action against Kong?

Right now, he was gravely injured. He preferred not to fight unless absolutely necessary, as moving too much could cost him his life due to his hidden injuries.

But if he let Kong continue to grow unchecked, he would undoubtedly become a major threat to the Clear Sky Clan in the future!

If he didn't kill Kong before he fully matured, there might not be another chance in the future!

As this thought crossed his mind, Tang Hao made his decision.

At the moment when Tang Hao developed his killing intent, he didn't notice the slight smirk that appeared on Kong's lips; if he had, he might have reconsidered his plan.

Carefully scanning the surroundings, Tang Hao confirmed that there was no sign of Yu Yuanshen or anyone else. In fact, within a radius of several kilometers, apart from Kong and himself, there was no one else.

Tang Hao, being a level 95 Super Douluo, was confident in his perception. It would be impossible for anyone to hide from him unless they were a Super Douluo of the same level. Two Spirit Douluos would never be able to escape his notice!

A genius without any protection was the perfect target for assassination, wasn't he?

With this thought, Tang Hao stopped hesitating and boldly stepped out from the shadows.

Kong, who was in the middle of "training," stopped summoning the lightning at that very moment and smiled. "Tang Hao, you finally decided to come out!"
