First Meeting with Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao

Ye Lingling had never expected her Martial Soul to truly undergo such a transformation. Not only could it heal everyone, but it could also restore Soul Power to people she specifically designated.

Once she broke through Level 90, even Title Douluo would be nothing more than playthings in the palm of her hand, and she would become an immortal, indestructible existence.

Lin Yuan stood with one hand behind his back and said in high spirits, "Hahaha, Ling Ling, you must cultivate diligently from now on and strive to break through to the Title Douluo realm one day."

Ye Lingling nodded emphatically. "Ling Ling is deeply grateful. I will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to become a Title Douluo. Then I'll be able to help Teacher."

Lin Yuan rubbed Ye Lingling's head, then said, "Go get some rest first. I have something else to handle. If I haven't returned, you can go out and have some fun too."

"Thank you, Teacher~"

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, turned, and headed toward Sunset Forest. He had sensed a familiar aura locking onto this location earlier. If he had guessed correctly, it should be that person.

Within the dense Sunset Forest, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said, "Since you're here, come out. Sneaking around is beneath the status of a Title Douluo, isn't it?"

"Your perception isn't bad. As expected of the youngest Title Douluo of this era."

As soon as the words fell, a black figure appeared out of thin air atop a withered branch in the distance. At the same time, an overwhelming energy fluctuation spread out, as though it could slaughter every living creature in the area.

The man was completely shrouded in black robes, with even his head covered by a black hood. From his appearance alone, all that could be seen was that he was a tall man.

Lin Yuan said with a chuckle, "Just say what you came to say. Everyone's busy, after all. I don't have time to entertain you."

The middle-aged man beneath the black robe wore a cold expression. He said flatly, "To encounter the youngest Title Douluo at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I merely wanted to spar with you. It has been a long time since I last stretched my limbs."

At the same time, black light condensed in his palm, transforming into a massive weapon. Nine soul rings silently appeared around him as well.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red!

This was the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world, the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Bright Battle Soul Hammer, mighty Clear Sky Sect." Lin Yuan remained calm and composed, smiling as he said, "Do you really think I'm some third-rate nobody like Zhao Wuji?"

Upon hearing that, Tang Hao's expression shifted slightly as he looked at the unruffled Lin Yuan. "Do you know who I am?"

"Hehehe, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the youngest Title Douluo of your time, the one who betrayed the Clear Sky Sect—Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, correct?"

As the words fell, Lin Yuan saw Tang Hao's body tremble.

Tang Hao slowly turned around and removed his hood, revealing his unkempt face to Lin Yuan.

"I didn't expect you to have some knowledge. Interesting." Tang Hao's gaze was sharp, his voice aged yet powerful. "I came here today only to clarify one matter."

"Hehe, I'm truly honored that Clear Sky Douluo has personally come to question me."

Tang Hao furrowed his brows, momentarily stunned. He had not expected the man before him to recognize his identity.

It truly was rather inconceivable.

But it no longer mattered.

He had come to seek justice for his son, Tang San.

"Since you know me, I have no intention of hiding anything. Let's get straight to the point."

"Why did you beat my son, Tang San? You should know that as a Title Douluo, attacking a junior in such a lowly manner—if word gets out, do you no longer care about your reputation?"

Tang Hao stared intently at Lin Yuan as he spoke.

Lin Yuan sneered. "Hehe, Clear Sky Douluo, you've truly made me laugh. When you beat Zhao Wuji at Shrek Academy, did you ever consider that you were bullying a junior?"

Tang Hao's lips twitched as he said indifferently, "What is wrong with a father protecting his son? If you do not give me an explanation today, then don't blame Tang for showing no mercy!"

Lin Yuan snorted disdainfully. "We're all in the same line of work. Who owes whom an explanation?"

A cold look surfaced in Tang Hao's eyes. Veins bulged across the hand gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, as though he might launch an attack at Lin Yuan at any moment.

"Enough nonsense. If you refuse to give me an explanation today, then don't blame Tang's Clear Sky Hammer for showing no mercy."

Lin Yuan picked at his ear and said coldly, "Enough talk. Hurry up and come at me. I have other matters to attend to later. Besides, I'd also like to see just how strong the former youngest Title Douluo is."

With that, Lin Yuan flicked his right hand to the side and drew his Martial Soul, the Asura Demon Sword, before Tang Hao.

The resounding metallic ring was especially piercing in the silent Sunset Forest. At the same time, a dense stench of blood rushed forth, as though it could devour Tang Hao completely at any moment.

Tang Hao glanced at the Asura Demon Sword in Lin Yuan's hand, contempt flashing through his eyes. One must not forget that the Clear Sky Hammer was known as the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world because it possessed a certain degree of suppression over all Tool Martial Souls.

Now that he saw his opponent was also a Tool Martial Soul master, Tang Hao felt much more assured.

It had to be said that Lin Yuan was very strong. With his current strength, Tang Hao truly found him somewhat troublesome.

Lin Yuan's figure moved, instantly whipping up violent gusts. The energy fluctuations he brought forth caused soul beasts within a radius of ten li to let out piercing roars.

Tang Hao's pupils contracted. What incredible speed!

Before he could react, Lin Yuan had already arrived behind Tang Hao.

The Asura Demon Sword, carrying fierce gusts of wind, aimed at Tang Hao's back and stabbed forward with all its strength.

Tang Hao immediately controlled the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and roared, "Clear Sky Body Protection!"

The Clear Sky Hammer spun wildly, dazzling sparks constantly flashing through the air.

Lin Yuan only smiled without speaking. Veins bulged on his right hand as the Asura Demon Sword suddenly erupted with a piercing dragon's roar and phoenix's cry.

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. He looked up, only to discover that his barrier had shattered. It was capable of withstanding an attack from a Level 95 Title Douluo, yet it had been broken today.

"The Clear Sky Hammer is indeed endlessly adaptable. Unfortunately, your Clear Sky Hammer does not suppress my Asura Demon Sword."

A sharp explosive hiss suddenly rang out.

Scarlet energy completely broke through Tang Hao's defense and shot toward his neck without obstruction.

Tang Hao was indeed a veteran Title Douluo. Seeing how ferocious the attack was, he immediately twisted aside, yet the aftershock of the energy still wounded his arm.
