Ninety-Thousand-Year Fourth Soul Skill, Fire Attribute: Dragon Breath!

"Chi Xiu..."

Xiao Wu looked at Tang Hao across from them, especially at the soul rings rising beneath his feet. Her pretty face turned pale. Even from so far away, she felt a pressure like Mount Tai collapsing before her.

"Chi Xiu, is he here... for you?"

Xiao Wu was extremely flustered. At that moment, she even thought the man had come for her. After all, someone at the level of a Titled Douluo could already see through her Soul Beast identity.

Chi Xiu nodded. "Don't be afraid. He came for me."

"For you? Are you a transformed Soul Beast too?"

Chi Xiu froze for a moment. Xiao Wu's train of thought was foolishly adorable.

He asked instead, "Do you know who he is?"

Xiao Wu shook her head.

"He's Tang San's father. He came to avenge his son."

"What? Tang San's father is actually a Titled Douluo? But... is he unhappy with the result from earlier today, so he got his father to act for him?!"

Xiao Wu frowned deeply. "What a hypocrite. I never noticed it all these years!"

Chi Xiu was stunned by that. It was a misunderstanding, but why did it feel so satisfying?

Please keep misunderstanding.

That kid Tang San was no good person anyway. A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding. It had nothing to do with him.

"Xiao Wu, leave first. I'll come find you after I deal with this."

"No! Do you think I'm someone like Tang San?!"

Xiao Wu now utterly despised the fact that she had once been Tang San's companion. In a burst of emotion, she was no longer even afraid of a Titled Douluo, releasing her Martial Soul.

"Then don't come over either. I don't want to be distracted saving you."

"Of course I won't go over... I can't beat him. But I won't run away in the middle of a fight either! Believe me, I'm not the same kind of person as Tang San..."

Xiao Wu hurriedly explained herself, thoroughly amusing Chi Xiu.

The two of them seemed to have reached an agreement in their mutual disgust for Tang San, completely forgetting their current dangerous situation.

"Of course I believe you. Tang San is nothing but a petty villain. How could he compare to an adorable little rabbit like you?"

"That's right! Tang San is a petty villain!"

"Enough!"

Tang Hao let out a low roar.

"You humiliated my son. How dare some brat act so arrogant and presumptuous!"

He had already summoned his Martial Soul, a Clear Sky Hammer glowing with a blood-red light. Its vicious aura somewhat resembled that of the Asura God Sword.

But Chi Xiu knew that before the Asura God Sword, the Clear Sky Hammer was nothing more than a little brother.

Several years ago, he had set a rule for himself: unless necessary, the Asura God Sword could only be used after removing his mask, while the Dragon God Martial Soul could only be used while wearing it.

But if he truly faced a situation that was difficult to resolve, he did not mind using both at once. However, anyone who learned those secrets could only die.

So if Tang Hao intended to kill him today, then the only outcome awaiting Tang Hao would be death.

"Clear Sky Douluo, please wait!"

Just as Chi Xiu was preparing for battle, someone descended from the sky and stood in front of Tang Hao.

That person had a pair of wings behind him. Chi Xiu looked closely and saw that it was Flender!

Tang Hao narrowed his eyes.

"Flender, this brat injured both your students and teachers, yet you're asking me to wait?"

Flender glanced back at Chi Xiu and adjusted the frame of his glasses. "Clear Sky Douluo, this boy came to Shrek Academy today with the eldest young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I'm worried that he has inseparable ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you strike now, how could he possibly survive? If we form a grudge, the loss would outweigh the gain."

"Don't forget, in standing against Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may become an ally."

Chi Xiu stood where he was with his arms folded, quietly watching the two old men put on airs.

But after hearing that, Tang Hao directly grabbed Flender by the collar.

His expression turned fierce.

"I don't care who he is from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When has Tang Hao ever feared anyone? He humiliated my son and made him kneel. I'll break both this brat's legs. It won't matter who comes!"

Seeing that persuasion was useless, Flender could only stand off to the side resentfully.

For the sake of the bigger picture, he had endured the matter today. He just had not expected Tang San's father to be unable to endure it.

"Kid Chi, give in. Otherwise, you can't imagine what will happen next. Giving in is nothing. It's just lowering your head and admitting your mistake."

Flender tried to persuade Chi Xiu.

Tang Hao, however, was exceptionally firm.

"No more words. He must leave both legs behind today."

Chi Xiu spread his hands and smiled. "Dean Flender, he isn't giving you any face."

"You can still smile?"

Flender had truly had his eyes opened today. There really was such a young man who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Tang Hao's anger intensified. Red light flickered from the Clear Sky Hammer as he attacked directly!

He leaped into the air and appeared above Chi Xiu in an instant.

The entire Clear Sky Hammer rapidly expanded, becoming dozens of meters long in the blink of an eye. The ground below could not withstand the terrifying pressure. Cracks began spreading across the bricks as the ground caved in, groaning in pain.

Chi Xiu extended his ten sharp claws. The moment the Clear Sky Hammer came down, his entire body vanished from where he stood.

Tang Hao froze. When he looked up, he saw Chi Xiu running along the handle of his hammer!

It did not look like running. It looked more like teleportation!

Even as a Titled Douluo, he could not catch Chi Xiu's movements with his naked eye.

In an instant, Chi Xiu arrived before Tang Hao.

His eyes were cold as he slashed with crossed claws. Tang Hao barely dodged, several shallow bloody marks appearing on his face.

So fast!

But there was no time for shock, because this brat had launched another attack, and it was coming from a different direction!

Even if he were an agility-type Soul Master, under the pressure of Tang Hao's Soul Power, what kind of powerful physique would it take to change directions so freely?

The Clear Sky Hammer rapidly shrank and was gripped in Tang Hao's hand. He swung it at Chi Xiu. The powerful wind pressure was almost no different from the force of a thousand-meter waterfall crashing down. Chi Xiu's claw blades sent sparks flying from the hammer's surface, but his body was knocked unsteady by the enormous force and sent flying into the distance.

Their close-range clash lasted less than three seconds before they finally pulled apart.

Yet the shock in Flender and Tang Hao's hearts was beyond words, because after those three seconds, only Tang Hao bore injuries, while Chi Xiu was merely breathing a little heavily.

"That is... the Clear Sky Douluo. How did this kid do it...?"

Flender could not help muttering.

"Kid, you still aren't showing your soul rings? It'll be too late once your legs are broken!"

"Did you hurt me?"

Tang Hao fell silent. He really had not. Forget hurting him—he had not even touched him.

Chi Xiu continued, "If you don't use soul skills, then I won't use soul skills either. There's even less need to reveal our soul rings."

He believed that once he said this, given Tang Hao's pride, Tang Hao definitely would not be the first to use a soul skill. Chi Xiu, meanwhile, could act without restraint and gain the advantage.

"Arrogant!"

Tang Hao's voice was hoarse as he spread five fingers toward Chi Xiu. He wanted to use his immense Soul Power to pull Chi Xiu over. Otherwise, he would never be able to touch this brat.

Chi Xiu went along with it.

At the same time, he chanted softly.

"Ninety-thousand-year Fourth Soul Skill, Fire Attribute: Dragon Breath."

Flames carrying extreme heat erupted from Chi Xiu's palm. Just as the two were about to meet, they surged toward Tang Hao in an explosive wave!

"Boom!"

Tang Hao's eyes widened. He had no time to react. He had thought Chi Xiu had been pulled over by his own force, only to realize that the brat had used the opportunity to get close and fire at him!

"Bang!"

Tang Hao's body smashed heavily into the ground!

But the powerful impact prevented him from stopping. His entire body was burned black, and he tore a massive trench through the street like a zipper, the trench continuing to lengthen!

Chi Xiu paused in midair for a moment.

Then, a massive red soul ring slowly rose around his body...

Flender stared dumbly, collapsing onto the ground because he could no longer stand steadily.
