I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 64: The Destruction of the Strength Clan

Tai Nuo hurried to Tai Long's side.

After carefully checking, he was shocked to find that Tai Long was seriously injured.

"Son, what happened to you, my son?" Tai Nuo's whole body trembled, filled with anxiety and fear. "Who hurt you? Tell me, I'll go skin them alive, make them suffer ten times more than you, no, at least a hundred times!"

"I...I..." Tai Long struggled to speak.

"Go find the best healing Soul Master for the young master!" Tai Nuo quickly instructed one of the servants nearby.

The servant immediately ran off, but not long after...

Tai Nuo heard footsteps approaching again.

"Didn't I tell you to find someone? Why are you back?" Tai Nuo angrily shouted.

However, there was no response.

"Do you think you can ignore me when I'm talking to you?" Tai Nuo raised his voice.

Tai Nuo suddenly looked up and was stunned when he saw the newcomer.

The person in front of him was not a servant but a handsome young man.

"Who are you?" he asked in a deep voice.

"It's...it's him!" Tai Long, trembling, finally managed to point at Qin Xiao and barely made a sound.

Immediately, Tai Nuo's face turned pale. "Did he hurt you?"

"Kid, I'm going to tear you apart!" Tai Nuo immediately turned furious, and his soul power exploded in an instant. He sprang forward like a coiled spring, his two fists, each larger than sandbags, viciously smashing towards Qin Xiao's chest.

However, facing this fierce attack, Qin Xiao had a look of disdain in his eyes. He made a simple move - a flick of his right hand, like a whip, landed squarely on Tai Nuo's chest with a crisp sound.

With a cracking sound, Tai Nuo's figure was sent flying backward and fell beside Tai Long.

"It's better when the family is all together like this," Qin Xiao said with satisfaction.

"Kid, who are you?" Tai Nuo, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, barely supported his body and asked in fear.

"I'm Qin Xiao," he replied calmly.

"Qin Xiao?"

Tai Nuo was stunned, as he couldn't recall any information about Qin Xiao.

"When did someone as strong as you appear in Heaven Dou City?" Tai Nuo muttered, more to himself.

"It doesn't matter, and it's not something you need to concern yourself with. If you don't want to die, I can give you a chance - surrender."

The Power Clan had some strength, and there would be benefits to having them submit. However, Qin Xiao was more interested in seeing the look on Tang Hao's face when his loyal followers betrayed him.

"Surrender? You actually want us to surrender?" Tai Nuo burst into laughter, loud and scornful. "Do you even know who our allegiance is to? You dare to talk about us surrendering here?"

Tai Nuo's gaze towards Qin Xiao gradually filled with contempt. "If you knew the name of our master, you'd be begging for mercy in an instant."

"I see," Qin Xiao nodded thoughtfully. "Since you're so loyal to Tang Hao, I won't be polite."

"What? You..."

"You know our master is Tang Hao, and you still dare to attack us?" Tai Nuo was shocked.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Qin Xiao's mouth. "Even if Tang Hao were standing in front of me, I would still dare to attack you."

With that said, a powerful surge of soul power erupted. Tai Long couldn't bear the pressure any longer and lost all signs of life.

Qin Xiao showed no emotional fluctuations. He knew that showing mercy to enemies was being cruel to oneself. Moreover, the Power Clan members were not good people, and they had taken advantage of their strength to oppress others.

"Tai Long!"

Tai Nuo shouted loudly, but no matter how he called, Tai Long didn't respond.

Dead! Tai Nuo's face turned pale. "Kid, no matter where you come from, I, Tai Nuo, swear that I will kill you in this lifetime."

"I'm very sorry, but your life ends today. If you want to kill me, you can try in your next life." Qin Xiao sneered.

He was about to take action against Tai Nuo when a loud shout suddenly echoed in the area:

"You scoundrel, stop!"

With the voice, a figure descended like a shooting star and landed steadily in front of Qin Xiao.

It was a burly, silver-haired old man, the leader of the Power Clan, Tai Tan!

However, Tai Tan did not appear at ease when facing Qin Xiao. Eight soul rings of various colors glowed around him, and his bronze-bell-like eyes closely monitored Qin Xiao's every move.

In stark contrast to Qin Xiao's relaxed and confident demeanor, Tai Tan seemed far more cautious.

"Who are you, kid?" he asked sternly.

Qin Xiao's response was simple, with just five words, "Tang Hao's enemy."

"Haha, what an arrogant claim! Do you really think you're worthy of being our master's enemy?" Tai Tan sneered with disdain.

"Tang Hao? Who is he?"
"He's known as the youngest Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent!"

"You, what qualifications and abilities do you have to be an enemy of a Title Douluo?"

"Sob, Father, don't waste your words on him. Tai Long is already dead," Tai Nuo, as if clutching at a lifeline, cried to Tai Tan.

"What?"

Tai Tan turned his head and saw Tai Long lying motionless on the ground.

Boom! He was struck like thunder, and when he sensed that something was amiss, he rushed over, but he was still one step too late.

"How dare he!"
"How dare he!"

In the next moment, a blazing fury surged in Tai Tan's heart, erupting like a volcano.

"Kid, even if I skin you alive, it won't be enough to quell my hatred!"

"Roar!"

Amidst his furious roar, Tai Tan activated his Martial Soul True Body directly.

In an instant, he transformed into a gigantic black-furred gorilla over five meters tall.

This was the inherited Martial Soul of the Power Clan, the Great Strength Ape!

A tremendous surge of soul power exploded, causing debris to fly in the surroundings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Great Strength Ape's fists relentlessly hammered its chest, sounding like war drums.

At this moment, his aura reached its peak.

[Ding, triggering a chain quest, fighting the young one to get to the old one.]

[Tai Long's unexpected death has brought the Power Clan leader, Tai Tan. Hold on until the teachers and students of Shrek Academy arrive to resolve the crisis.]

[Quest Requirements: Survive for one hour.]

[Quest Reward: An additional ten thousand years on the third soul ring.]

[Note: Tai Tan is extremely powerful, and under his attack, every second is agony. Use all your abilities to survive.]

"Hmm? Another quest has been triggered?" Qin Xiao was surprised, and when he saw the quest content, he couldn't help but laugh.

An hour of endurance to wait for the teachers from Shrek Academy?

This efficiency was terrible.

Not to mention a Title Douluo, even a Soul Emperor or Soul Sage would have a hard time facing this enraged old gorilla.

One hour, your ashes would have been scattered.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but think that Tai Tan's strength was indeed formidable, almost on par with a true Title Douluo.

However, for Qin Xiao, this held little significance.

Not to mention that Tai Tan's combat power could only match a Title Douluo, even if it was a true Title Douluo, Qin Xiao had to climb his way up.

"Kid, are you laughing?"

"Are you still laughing when you're at death's door?"

Seeing Qin Xiao's reaction, Tai Tan felt that he was being mocked.

"The Power Clan has always been the one breaking into other people's mansions. Today, it's the other way around, and it's a disgrace."

"Lord Father, you must crush this kid to ashes to eliminate the hatred in my heart," Tai Nuo said fiercely.

His voice was filled with resentment.

"Tai, Tan, Sky, Punch!"

At this moment, the Great Strength Ape, which was over five meters tall, shouted explosively.

He launched a devastating attack against Qin Xiao.

This was his eighth soul skill and also his most powerful soul skill.

Within a radius of a hundred meters, all were within the attack range.

"Heh, it's still a lock-on skill?"

"However, I never planned to dodge."

Qin Xiao slightly bent his body, clenched his left fist, and then punched!

"Kid, are you scared to the point of wetting yourself? You're not even using a soul skill?"

Tai Tan couldn't help but sneer.

But in the next moment, his heart turned cold.

A blue beam of light instantly pierced through his body, shattering his heart.

"It's actually a soul bone skill."

"Such a powerful soul bone skill, could it be... a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

In his final moment of life, he wanted to understand where he had lost.

However, he didn't get an answer from Qin Xiao, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

His life had come to an end, and he couldn't close his eyes in death.

"It's over!"

"It's really over!"

Tai Nuo was dumbfounded.

When Tai Tan fell, he knew that the Power Clan had been completely destroyed.

"As a good person, I'll send you on your way."

Qin Xiao felt that good people should see things through to the end.

"No, don't kill me, I want to live."

"I'm willing to recognize you as my master."

Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Tai Nuo's face suddenly showed a look of fear, and he quickly begged for mercy.

His courage had been shattered by the successive blows.

He just wanted to survive, nothing more.

"You have only one chance to choose."

Qin Xiao indifferently shook his head, flicked his finger, and a wisp of blue light entered Tai Nuo's forehead.

After doing all of this, Qin Xiao turned and walked away.

"Tang Hao, Tang San, you continue to hide."

"It won't be long before those who support you are gone."

One thing after another, Qin Xiao was already thinking about paying a visit to the other major subsidiary families.

"Why are you still here?"

When Qin Xiao returned to Shrek Academy, he found Zhu Zhuqing still waiting at the academy's entrance.

"I, I heard that in Tai Long's clan, there may even be a powerful Soul Douluo," Zhu Zhuqing stammered.

Qin Xiao sensed her worry, and instinctively, he reached out and ruffled Zhu Zhuqing's head.

"It's alright now. Even if there's a strong Soul Douluo, they're just Soul Douluos," he said, "How strong can they be compared to Tang Xiao?"

Qin Xiao smiled faintly, appearing completely unperturbed.

Ah, this...

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, connecting Qin Xiao's attitude with her thoughts. She instantly understood.

A powerful Soul Douluo might have just perished like this.

If I had such power, could I also control my own destiny?

"Let's go."

"Aren't you here to take me to our residence?"

When she heard Qin Xiao's urging voice, Zhu Zhuqing finally snapped out of her thoughts.

"Oh, right, I'm coming."

Zhu Zhuqing then realized that Qin Xiao had already walked some distance away.

Not long after, shocking news spread throughout Tian Dou City.

"What? Tai Tan, Tai Long, Tai Nuo, all three members of the Power Clan are dead. This is almost the extermination of the clan!"

"Investigate it! Within a day, I want to know what happened!"

Inside the Tian Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Xing, who wasn't feeling sleepy, was also stunned by this news.

You should know that Tai Tan, who possessed the strength of a Soul Douluo himself, had an astonishing background. As the former leader of the Top Three Sects, the Haotian Sect's subsidiary family, even a Title Douluo would have to think twice before provoking them.

Even he had to treat them with caution.

Now they've been annihilated?

Who is this powerful figure who has emerged?

"If that's the case, do I also have the opportunity to make use of this person?"

Xue Xing's thoughts suddenly became active.

After all, it was impossible for Xue Qinghe to intervene and help him resolve Qin Xiao. He had to rely on himself.

In the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

Meng Shenji came and went.

"Your Highness, something big has happened."

He said loudly in front of Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe was startled. "Chairman Meng, what's happened that even you are so flustered?"

Gulp.

Gulp.

Meng Shenji picked up the water glass on the table and drank it all in one go. "Tai Tan, that domineering old man, is dead!"

"What?"

Xue Qinghe was shocked. Tai Tan was considered the number one figure in Tian Dou City, and he had just disappeared?

"Unfortunately, the battle ended too quickly. Our people didn't even have time to see who made the move."

Meng Shenji sighed, "To be able to kill Tai Tan, at least a Level 95 Title Douluo, I wonder which powerful expert it was."

Could it be someone from the Martial Soul Hall?

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe furrowed his brows. He spoke softly, "Chairman Meng, please investigate this matter carefully for me."

Meng Shenji nodded vigorously, "Rest assured, Your Highness."

Clang! Clang! Clang...

In the early morning, Qin Xiao was awakened from his meditation by a knocking sound.

"The door isn't locked."

Qin Xiao called out to the person outside the door.

The door opened, and the plump figure of Liu Erlong walked in.

Qin Xiao glanced at her briefly, then withdrew his gaze and asked indifferently, "I don't know why Dean Liu has come so early in the morning?"

"Tai Long is dead, his father Tai Nuo is dead, and his grandfather Tai Tan is also dead," Liu Erlong said firmly to Qin Xiao.

"Oh." Qin Xiao let out a soft sound.

"There are academy students who can testify that you had a conflict with them last night."

"So, you suspect that I was the one who made a move."

Qin Xiao looked at Liu Erlong again.

In contrast, Liu Erlong remained silent but kept her bright eyes fixed on Qin Xiao, as if trying to find the answer from his face.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao revealed a faint smile, "Even if I did make a move, what does it matter? And if I didn't make a move, what difference does it make?"
