Treasure

A raging and imposing strength that left no room to resist that was the strength of a titled douluo. A prolonged fight between them would cause immense destruction, completely devasting their surroundings.

Luckily, the Titled Douluo's presence didn't last more than an instant, the shaking stopping and complete silence appearing over the forest, every animal too afraid to even move, some of them even forgetting to breathe and dying by the shock.

"What is a Titled Douluo doing fighting here?" Haotian was confused, it was rare for Titled Douluos to use their strength as they barely fought as every fight would create a strong impact, destroying their surroundings.

He didn't think that any Titled Douluo acted so early following the novel and could really not think who could be acting now.

"Tang San's identity isn't known yet, so Spirit Hall shouldn't have made their move or could something have changed" Haotian thought "Should I see what happened?"

Going closer to a Titled Douluo fighting was close to suicide, but it was clear that if there had been a fight, it was only for an instant so there shouldn't be two Titled Douluos. Moreover, taking into account how near it sounded, it was clear that the great perception of a Titled Douluo would have already detected him in the area, so if the Titled Douluo would want him dead, he would already be.

While Haotian was quite strong, with a body strength capable of contending with Spirit Douluos, he would be unable to escape from a Titled Douluo, they were too much of a monster.

Having calculated the risk, Haotian followed his curiosity, directing towards the clash.

Reaching the area, Haotian was able to see the terrible aftermath of a Titled Douluo's attack. There was an immense round crater over 30 meters wide with the trees and fauna around it all destroyed due to the shock.

Haotian approached the edge of the crater and looked in it. In the middle of it something red could be seen with something shining over it.

Haotian jumped over the crater, falling over 20 meters, finally being able to see what was in the middle, realizing that the red color was due to blood. A bloody pulp was there with what it would be difficult to differentiate as smashed bones and muscles. It was impossible to recognize who it was but something was clear, someone had died here, being smashed by a tremendous force without being able to put any resistance.

"Could it be?" Haotian approached the 'corpse', extending his arms towards something shining over what could be intuited to be the cranium of the victim, taking a brightly purple skull resembling a shrunken human cranium.

"A spirit bone..." Haotian went wide, realizing what had been discovered "I need to leave this place quickly" Haotian quickly hid the newfound spirit bone over his spatial ring, he used his third and fourth spirit rings, invoking wind wings over him and covering himself in scales before quickly escaping the place, quickly going towards the city to lose himself into the crowd.

A spirit bone was considered to be one of the most precious treasures. It wasn't about killing people for them, even kingdoms had fallen due to them and it was especially true with skull types one that with chest types were the rarest and strongest. Moreover, this one was 10.000 years old, capable of causing even more shock.

Haotian quickly reached the city at maximum speed shocking the people there while landing in the middle of the crowd creating an innocuous thick poison mist, hiding his surroundings and causing a loud uproar for the people who quickly escaped scared.

Taking advantage of the chaos and the covered sight, he withdrew his spirit, controlling his spirit energy and completely hiding his cultivation, appearing like a normal human while he put over himself a hooded coat, escaping from the place with the scared people that thought there was an attack.

...

Finally reaching his dormitory over Heaven Dou's academy, Haotian was able to breathe. There had been a great commotion over the city due to his landing, the guards quickly acting to catch the culprit, however, due to the chaos created by the people, they were unable to find it.

It could have escalated more but as they found that the mist wasn't dangerous and that no damage was done, the investigation would last long, thinking that it was a simple prank,

It could seem to be something too extreme, but Haotian was sure that more people would have been able to sense the Titled Douluo's attack, people already going towards the origin. He needed to act quickly and escape from it or he would need a lot of explanations to do later and if someone knew about the person killed and the spirit bone, he would become the target of their revenge, so it was better to avoid it.

For being discovered while escaping? He wasn't worried about it as it was one of his perks of always hiding his spirit. Searching for someone with wind wings and a scaled body would be directed at him as there was the absence of Yin Flames.

Being calmed down and alone over his dormitory, Haotian took the spirit bone outside, this time focusing his spirit energy over it and analyzing its properties.

"It's over 10.000 years old, greatly related with spiritual power, improving the mind power of allies while depleting the enemies' spiritual force, being able to reflect mind attacks..." Haotian analyzed while trying to discover who could have been the previous owner of it "Could this spirit bone be...?"

"So it's like this" Haotian finally nodded. It was a supposition and he would need to verify it later on but Haotian thought that he had discovered the truth. If he wasn't wrong this spirit bone would have appeared over the novel as it was Shi Nian's spirit bone.

Shi Nian was the vice dean of the Blue Sunshine Academy and a Spirit Sage specialized in mental attacks. In the novel, he attacked Tang San, using his Nightmare attack and trying to kill Tang San to make Shrek weaker and give his academy the opportunity to pass the next round.

However, as normal he fails, Tang San breaks his illusion with his Purple Eyes and kills him with his strongest poisonous hidden weapon, the Yama's Invitation.

But how could Tang San kill him now? Due to Haotian taking his opportunity over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San was unable to upgrade his Purple Eyes with an immortal herb and he was unable to create the Yama's Invitation due to the lack of the required poisonous herb.

Putting everything together, Haotian intuited what should have truly happened this time. Tang San was attacked by Shi Nian, almost being killed by him, however, before it was too late he was saved by his father, the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

That could explain the Titled Douluo's presence and the cataclysm formed by the Clear Sky Hammer from Tang Hao killing Shi Nian.

"I suppose that Tang Hao took Tang San away, not wanting people to discover his relation with the attack" Haotian reasoned "Would he be aware of his father saving him?"

Haotian shook his head "It doesn't matter anyway" Then he focused on the spirit bone "What should I do with you?"

This spirit bone would be perfect for support or mental spirits, none of his actual girls being very compatible with it "In the novel, Tang San obtained this spirit bone and gifted it to Rongrong who was the most compatible with it." He said thoughtfully

"I could give it to her gaining more affection from her, but I think it that it wouldn't be worth much as I already gifted her the Beautiful Silk Tulip and this spirit bone wouldn't make much of a difference."

Suddenly, Haotian's eyes went wide, his eyes sparkling and a grin appearing over his mouth as an idea came to his mind "Yes, that would be perfect."
