God-Slaying Douluo

BOOM--!

The sky full of flames scattered, and Tang Hao retreated a hundred zhang.

He looked up with a gloomy expression toward the place where the long spear had flown from.

The others did the same.

But there was no one there.

However, they all subconsciously gasped in surprise, as if they knew who had made the move.

"Sword Grandpa, who is it?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

In fact, it wasn't just her; every Soul Master within a hundred miles who was paying attention to this battle was extremely curious.

What kind of existence could force Tang Hao back with a single strike?

Sword Douluo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Every century produces a generation. In our era, geniuses emerged in droves. The most dazzling among them were the two brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. But they were disciples of a sect, belonging to inherited talents... yet, there was one person who appeared out of nowhere."

Speaking of this, the other Titled Douluo also wore grave expressions.

Especially those from the same era as Tang Hao.

"Back then, there was a man who wielded a long spear. No one knew where he came from. In one day, he challenged one hall, two empires, three sects, and twelve clans. When he first appeared, he was at the Soul King level. At first, not many people paid attention to him; after all, there were too many dazzling geniuses at the time.

But two years later, when he appeared for the second time, his cultivation had already reached the Soul Saint level, and he once again challenged those of the same rank from the major powers.

By then, his name had already begun to resound throughout the Soul Master world."

After a pause, Sword Douluo looked toward Tang Hao.

"It was also at that time that Tang Hao and the others crossed paths with him... In that battle, that man defeated Qian Xunji and Tang Xiao, and fought to a draw with Tang Hao—and that was only because Tang Hao relied on his higher soul power."

"Later, this person disappeared for another five years. By the time he appeared again, he was already a Titled Douluo. At that time, he was only in his early thirties!"

WHOOSH--!

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

Back then, Tang Hao was hailed as the youngest Titled Douluo for breaking through at the age of forty. Who would have thought that before him, there was such a terrifying genius?!

At this moment, Regardless of which faction they belonged to, or the many commoners who heard this, their hearts could not help but stir with excitement.

They truly wanted to see such a genius for themselves.

No wonder he could force Tang Hao back with a single blow.

"Sword Grandpa, what is his name?"

"His name is unknown, but he has an arrogant title—God-Slayer!"

God-Slayer?!

Hiss—!

Everyone collectively gasped.

What a truly arrogant title.

It was more than just arrogant.

Everyone believed in Deities, yet no one had ever dared to call themselves a God-Slayer. One had to realize that those were beings who controlled everything; this was simply blasphemy.

Everyone present, whether soul masters or commoners, was shocked to the core.

Tang Hao retracted his Clear Sky Hammer, looking somewhat annoyed. "A guy who hides his head and shows his tail."

Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at him. "Father, this God-Slaying Douluo..."

Tang Hao pondered. "Before you are strong enough, try to avoid him if you see him. That man is a lunatic."

A lunatic?

Tang Hao did not deliberately lower his voice, and everyone present heard him clearly.

A person who could be called a lunatic by Tang Hao—one could imagine his strength.

But he didn't chat any further, taking Tang San and Xiao Wu as he flew away from the scene.

The three major forces also departed one after another.

Martial Soul Hall had intended to recruit Shrek Academy, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had beaten them to it.

The Heaven Dou Empire was also making its own calculations, not intending to let Shrek Academy go. After all, anyone who could attract a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and Tang Hao's son must have something extraordinary about them.

"Sect Master Ning, you don't mind us being here, do you?"

Dugu Bo arrived with the Heaven Dou Royal members.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "I only came here to bring my daughter back, and incidentally, to recruit Shrek Academy."

After saying this, he turned his gaze toward the Dean of Shrek Academy, Flender.

"Dean Flender, what do you think?"

"This..."

Flender hesitated.

His current Shrek students had already reached the qualifications for graduation. He had originally planned to use them as leverage to join a certain faction, aiming to make a name for his academy at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

He hadn't expected such things to happen midway.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had left.

Ning Rongrong also seemed prepared to leave.

How many students were even left in his academy?

How was he supposed to compete in the tournament with this?

Thinking of this, Flender shook his head: "Sect Master Ning, I have no intention of joining any other faction, but you may ask my students."

As he finished speaking.

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing: "Zhuqing, why don't you come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought. She glanced at Dai Mubai, then shook her head: "Sorry, Rongrong, I want to venture out on my own for two years. If I need anything later, I will come find you."

"Alright then~"

Ning Rongrong did not force her.

Dai Mubai also shook his head: "I am planning to return to the Star Luo Empire."

The remaining two, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, exchanged a look.

Oscar said: "I also plan to cultivate alone for a few years."

Ma Hongjun, however, decided to remain at the academy.

In an instant, the once-thriving Shrek Academy had become deserted.

"Sigh~"

Yu Xiaogang let out a sigh.

At the same time.

Atop the mountain peak.

Li Xuan withdrew his gaze and chuckled, "Tang Hao has actually improved; he was even able to withstand a casual strike from me."

That's right.

The so-called God-Slaying Douluo was none other than Li Xuan himself.

Back when he first transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he hadn't awakened any golden finger. However, relying on the sheer quality of his God-Slaying Spear martial soul, he had displayed such brilliance that his peers were forced to bow their heads in his presence.

Even Tang Hao feared him by three parts.

The only thing that infuriated him was that not a single Deity had taken a liking to him.

Could it be that if one didn't become a Titled Douluo before the age of 30, they truly weren't worthy of inheriting a divine position?

Looking back at the history of the Douluo Continent.

The Shrek Seven Devils had all ascended to Titled Douluo before the age of 30.

Qian Renxue was the same.

The only exception was Bibi Dong.

But the trigger conditions for her divine position were somewhat harsh; she had to devour someone who possessed a Six-winged Angel martial soul.

That didn't fit Li Xuan.

As for the remaining individuals who became gods, aside from the Sea God, who had spent thousands of years creating his own divine position, no one else had achieved godhood.

Li Xuan had also wanted to walk the path of creating his own divine position.

But he had absolutely no clue where to start.

For one, his Soul Power Level was stuck at level 95. Although he could break through, it was impossible to reach the level 99 tier in a short amount of time, meaning he couldn't touch the power that approached divinity.

Secondly, he was purely without direction.

There were two ways to create a divine position: gather the power of faith, or condense a Godhead through one's own strength.

Li Xuan had no leads on either situation.

"Forget it."

Li Xuan shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it any further.

Since I have a System now, why am I still agonizing over these things?

Anyway, now that I only need to complete the Sky Screen construction to obtain a self-created God Position, what the hell am I worrying about?

"The God Position granted by the System should at least be at the God King level, right?"

"It would be best if I could create my own God Realm. By then, I might even be able to vie for power with the Douluo God Realm and claim the Douluo Continent for myself. Isn't that much more interesting than simply becoming a god?"

"Hmm, if I find a few more geniuses, I might even be able to poach a few gods from the Douluo God Realm."

Thinking of this, He tapped the System and released the eighth entry of the Secret Ranking.

Rumble--!

The Sky Screen changed once again.

Everyone looked up, only to see a few large characters.

[Douluo Secret Seven, King of Slaughter!]
