"Let's talk this out. I'm only a five-thousand-year soul beast. A Title Douluo like you has no use for me! I'm not the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast you people dream of!"

Wang Xia'er was somewhat nervous, and her voice was a little hoarse. What rotten luck. How could an Auspicious Beast be this unlucky? Was it because I took human form? Did I transform all my luck away?

Her face was frosty as she considered how to escape.

But before a Title Douluo, a small fry like her seemed to have only one path—death. There was no chance of escape at all.

"Hehe, didn't you take human form? Aren't you a sixteen-year-old rank fifty-nine Soul King? Forget Qingyun Academy. Come to Spirit Hall, and I can guarantee your safety!"

Gui Mei's eerie voice rang out.

This time, his luck had been good. Some people from a Spirit Hall Branch Hall had happened to spot a blue-and-pink-haired girl while leaving Star Dou Forest. After returning to the branch hall, they immediately sent a carrier pigeon message to Spirit Hall Headquarters in Heaven Dou City.

He happened to be in Heaven Dou City and saw the message.

He immediately flew to Star Dou Forest.

And happened to run into her.

His luck was unbelievably good.

"You are forcing me to do something against my will. According to the Heavenly Ranking, I took human form because of Lu Xia. Naturally, I have to visit Qingyun Academy! Going to Spirit Hall would go against my heart!"

Wang Xia'er had not expected that he was not here to kill her.

That allowed the heart lodged in her throat to finally settle. She took a deep breath.

Then slowly let it out.

After swallowing, she said, "Besides, Qingyun Academy has gathered so many talented young women. That is what I yearn for. They will definitely send someone to pick me up!"

"Hehe... Qingyun Academy may be mysterious and powerful, but Spirit Hall is even stronger!"

Although Gui Mei was wary of Qingyun Academy, he had even greater confidence in Spirit Hall.

"If you don't join, you die!"

His final words were resolute and cold.

Wang Xia'er could hear the determination in the Title Douluo's words.

She was helpless. Though she was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to agree. She opened her mouth, ready to say that a forcibly twisted melon was not sweet, but just as she was about to agree, a sudden change occurred.

"Buzz..."

Another, even more powerful and domineering aura suddenly swept over from nearby.

It instantly scattered the viscous black Soul Power.

Gui Mei cried out in alarm.

He saw a middle-aged man hovering in the air, wearing a hood, with grizzled facial hair and a tattered black robe. An incomparably domineering aura radiated from him, instantly making Gui Mei's expression change drastically.

Gui Mei let out a strange cry.

"Ta... Tang Hao..."

Black mist swirled around Gui Mei, obscuring his features, but he was terrified.

Gui Mei's voice carried exaggerated terror. "Y-you... why are you here?"

The moment he saw Tang Hao, he thought of the scene from more than ten years ago when Tang Hao had beaten him to a pulp.

Tang Hao's aura was even more terrifying now.

Even ten of him would not be a match.

His body trembled with fear, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

"You... are very unlucky. I just happened to be nearby!"

Tang Hao sneered and summoned the Clear Sky Hammer. Dark red lightning coiled around its head, radiating an unparalleled domineering aura.

Gui Mei kept backing away.

Wang Xia'er frowned. Who was Tang Hao? Still, if these two started fighting, couldn't she take the chance to escape?

"You're Wang Xia'er, right? Don't even think about running!"

Tang Hao looked at Wang Xia'er, who was quietly backing away. His powerful Soul Power instantly pressed down on her, rendering her unable to move.

"Ah..." Wang Xia'er cried out. What awful luck. Another one who wants me?

Ahhh...

This Heavenly Ranking really gave her benefits while exposing her to danger as well.

"Whoosh..." Gui Mei transformed into a black shadow and abruptly burrowed into the ground.

He had no desire to fight Tang Hao. Even the previous Pope, leading so many people back then, had been unable to defeat him. Tang Hao was even stronger now, so Gui Mei stood even less of a chance.

"Whoosh..."

Tang Hao saw Gui Mei flee without fighting, but he still attacked. "Little ghost, since you came, go back injured!"

He shot forward, swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, raised it high, and smashed it viciously into the ground ahead. Dark red lightning flashed explosively.

Boom...

Dirt and dark red lightning erupted.

The ground shook.

The enormous blast was deafening.

A several-meter-wide crater was smashed into the ground.

Wang Xia'er's face turned deathly pale from fright.

"Ah..."

Gui Mei let out a miserable scream. The terrifying Soul Power jolted him into coughing up blood, but he still escaped.

Tang Hao had not intended to keep Gui Mei here. He simply had not expected to come across such a pleasant surprise. That damned Lu Xia had stolen his wife.

Then he would steal her future student.

Hehe, that would be quite nice. He would make her a student of Shrek Academy. Wang Xia'er possessed great fortune, after all.

Following Xiao San would definitely bring Xiao San good luck, and she could add another student to Shrek Academy. Then, as long as they recruited one more student, they could participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Thinking of this, he walked toward Wang Xia'er. "Come with me!"

"Where? Don't come any closer!" Wang Xia'er felt as though she had escaped a wolf's den only to enter a tiger's lair.

"Join Shrek Academy, and nothing will happen to you!"

Tang Hao grabbed Wang Xia'er's hand and dragged her away.

"No..." Wang Xia'er struggled, but it was useless.

He was simply too strong.

She had not expected herself to be so popular. One Title Douluo after another wanted to force her to join them.

Disgusting...

"You still refuse? It is your honor that I took a liking to you. I am the youngest Title Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent!"

After speaking, Tang Hao waved his hand. A surge of Soul Power became energy ropes that bound Wang Xia'er's hands, and he pulled her toward the side.

No matter how much strength Wang Xia'er used, she could not stop herself.

"Hehe, the youngest Title Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent? I think you're the most unreasonable Title Douluo in history!"

No matter how Wang Xia'er struggled, she could not break free from the energy ropes. Her cheeks puffed up with anger as she gritted her teeth. He was a Title Douluo—she could not escape even if she grew wings.

"A little one who just took human form, yet you have such a sharp tongue. Not bad!"

Tang Hao sneered and continued walking forward calmly. To him, taking Wang Xia'er away was as easy as carrying off a kitten or puppy.

"Buzz..." A chilling killing intent suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping everything within three hundred meters. This entire space instantly lost its color.

The grass, trees, and fields turned black and white. Even the sky became black and white.

In an instant, the scene before their eyes lost all color.

Tang Hao was startled. He immediately became vigilant and scanned his surroundings. He could feel his Soul Power being suppressed by this strange domain, while his movements and reactions had both slowed.

The newcomer was definitely no ordinary person.

He could tell from the pressure brought by that domain alone.

His gaze immediately sharpened. He condensed the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and dark red lightning flashed madly across it.

"Stop playing tricks and get out here!"

"Buzz..."

Powerful Soul Power surged outward from Tang Hao, flattening trees.

It made Wang Xia'er unable to even open her eyes. Her hair flew wildly, her skirt fluttered chaotically, and she staggered back several steps.

"Could someone else be here to capture me? Or were they from Qingyun Academy, coming to pick me up after seeing the Heavenly Ranking information?"
