• Tang San ran into the forest, and Tang Hao faced Spirit City with his Clear Sky Hammer as a powerful malice closed in.

After Tang Hao’s death was mistakenly credited to Dragon Subduing Douluo, Spirit Hall’s prestige rose and the news spread through Spirit City. At a meeting, Xiao Yun advised the Heaven Dou party to separate from Shrek Academy and take a longer, less watched route home.
