Chapter 17: An Unbelievable Answer.
April 4, 2023 | Author: Fu Hejun
"These five options... apart from the first one being impossible, the other four are all potential answers. Which one should I choose?" Tang Yuehua muttered to herself, her brows tightly furrowed as she stared at the five options for the question.
As for why the first option was impossible.
That was, of course, because in Tang Yuehua's heart, her second brother, Tang Hao, was an indomitable hero. A truly great man!
How could he possibly bully the weak?
Therefore, this option was absolutely impossible!
Just then, the Live Broadcast Room also welcomed many viewers.
Essentially every major power was present: Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Star Luo Imperial Family, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Clear Sky Sect... At that moment, one could see bullet comments flashing across the Live Broadcast Room's screen one after another.
[I can't believe this question is actually related to Haotian Douluo.]
[This question says that the mighty Haotian Douluo will have an arm and a leg severed?]
[Of these five options, besides the first one, the remaining four all seem plausible.]
[Why is the first option impossible? You think Haotian Douluo wouldn't prey on the weak? In my opinion, the first option is quite likely.]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! Haotian Douluo is a great hero! How could he possibly rely on his strength to bully the weak?! I'm warning you, don't you dare insult my idol!]
[I also think it's impossible. He's the famous Haotian Douluo, after all. Even if he vanished for many years, he wouldn't have degenerated to this extent, right?]
[If he really did that, he would be tarnishing the title "Haotian Douluo"!]
The bullet comments were unsigned, making it impossible to tell who sent them.
Tang Yuehua wasn't affected by the bullet comments. Instead, she quickly wracked her brain, trying hard to analyze which option was plausible. She knew that if she answered correctly, the defect in her Martial Soul could be fixed!
Her Martial Soul wasn't the Clear Sky Hammer passed down by the Clear Sky Sect, but the product of a failed mutation. It was named the Ruyi Ring!
In fact, strictly speaking, this Martial Soul couldn't truly be considered the product of a failed mutation.
Because back then, her innate soul power was a high Level 9, and her Martial Soul even came with an Innate Domain—the Noble Ring!
Heaven knows how overjoyed the young Tang Yuehua was when she learned her soul power was a high Level 9 and that her Martial Soul came with its own Innate Domain.
A Domain was something that even some Titled Douluo didn't possess; it was an extremely rare talent. It could be said that possessing a Domain made one almost certain to become a Titled Douluo in the future!
And she had possessed a Domain right after awakening her Martial Soul; she was simply a heaven-sent genius! Her future was limitless!
But soon, before she could enjoy her happiness for long, Tang Yuehua fell from paradise into hell! She discovered that although her innate soul power was a high Level 9, her soul power remained unchanged no matter how she cultivated. If she was Level 9 at her awakening, she would remain Level 9 for her entire life.
She could never break through to Level 10, obtain a soul ring, and become a true Soul Master.
For the young Tang Yuehua, it was a bolt from the blue!
She was so devastated that she nearly suffered a mental breakdown!
Even now, her inability to become a Soul Master was the eternal pain in her heart!
And now, if she could just answer this question correctly, her Martial Soul's defect would be completely fixed. It was hard to imagine how powerful her Martial Soul would become. After all, Martial Souls born with an innate domain were so rare one could count them on one hand. Once the defect was fixed, soaring to the heavens was absolutely not a fantasy!
Conversely, if she answered incorrectly, her only commendable trait, her innate Noble Ring domain, would be stripped away. From then on, she would be reduced to nothing more than a pretty vase, a beautiful but useless object.
The painful price was far more than she could bear. But the question had already been issued, and not answering was not an option.
What should she do?
Which one should she choose?
Tang Yuehua was caught in a difficult choice.
Fortunately, at that moment, an extremely conspicuous bullet comment appeared.
[Haotian Douluo - Tang Hao: Yuehua, choose five.]
This bullet comment was not only a different color, but it also directly displayed the sender's name.
Viewers sending bullet comments in the Live Broadcast Room could choose to be anonymous or use their real names. The vast majority chose to be anonymous. After all, when anonymous, no one knows who you are. You can speak freely, insult whoever you want, and not worry about retaliation for causing offense.
Using one's real name was a different story. One wrong word could offend someone, and you might find yourself tracked down and eliminated within minutes.
That's why bullet comments were usually anonymous.
But now, to remind Tang Yuehua, Tang Hao had sent a real-name bullet comment.
"Hao, it's really you!"
Seeing the conspicuous real-name bullet comment in the Live Broadcast Room, Tang Yuehua immediately believed it was sent by her second brother, from whom she hadn't heard in many years. That was because the Live Broadcast Room's real-name system couldn't be faked. Whoever you were, that was the name attached. A situation where Zhang San could use Li Si's name to post a comment was absolutely impossible.
"Hao, are you okay?" After confirming it was her second brother, Tang Yuehua quickly asked.
Unfortunately, that real-name bullet comment never appeared again.
Tang Yuehua was a little disappointed. She knew her second brother was still unwilling to show his face. Sending that one bullet comment was already his limit; he would absolutely not say a second word.
"Sigh..."
She sighed. Seeing that the designated time to answer was almost up, Tang Yuehua quickly replied, "I choose option five!"
Having given her answer, Tang Yuehua felt an unprecedented confidence. She didn't think for a moment that she could be wrong. After all, her second brother had personally told her the answer. Who would know the correct answer better than the person involved?
So she was sure she would win!
She wondered what kind of soul skills her Martial Soul would possess once its defect was fixed and she could finally add soul rings to it.
Just as Tang Yuehua was filled with expectant fantasies about her future, envisioning how powerful her soul skills would be, the answer announced by the Live Broadcast Room a moment later made the smile on her lips freeze.
[Incorrect Answer!]
[Punishment: Domain—Noble Ring—will be stripped!]
As the prompt's sound faded, Tang Yuehua felt as if an invisible, large hand had reached out from the void, grabbed her very soul, and pulled with brutal force!
*Rip!*
It was the sound of fabric being ripped apart.
In that instant, Tang Yuehua felt a wave of dizziness, as if something important had been stolen from her.
She knew it wasn't an illusion; her most precious possession had truly been taken from her.
The Innate Domain—the Noble Ring!
This rare domain had now left her forever. She would become completely mediocre, with nothing left to her name.
But more than what she had lost, what Tang Yuehua found harder to believe was that the answer she chose was actually wrong. Then what was the correct answer?
It wasn't just her; the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room were also discussing it heatedly.
[What's going on? Option five is actually wrong?]
[Could the correct answer be one of 2, 3, or 4?]
[Let's wait and see. The Live Broadcast Room should announce the answer soon.]
Tang Hao, who was also watching the Live Broadcast Room, was completely dumbfounded when he saw his answer was wrong. *How... how could it be wrong? Impossible. Could the correct option really be one of two, three, or four?*
Soon, the Live Broadcast Room announced the correct answer.
[Correct Answer: Option one.]
The crowd went wild!
