Tang San was just about to ask who the person wielding the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was, but Xiao Wu beat him to it.
"Grandmaster, do you know who that Titled Douluo was?" Xiao Wu asked.
Yu Xiaogang had naturally guessed who it was, but he couldn't say so outright.
He had promised Tang Hao not to let Tang San learn his true identity.
"Besides, Xiao San doesn't know that the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is the strongest weapon Martial Soul under heaven. He thinks it's just some hammer Martial Soul."
"So even if I tell him, he probably won't know who I mean, right?"
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang began explaining his suspicions, putting on a show in front of the three of them.
"The Clear Sky Hammer is the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Martial Soul. Eight years ago, Spirit Hall attacked the Clear Sky Sect, forcing them to seal off their mountain!"
"The Clear Sky Sect should have two Titled Douluo: one titled Xiaotian and one titled Haotian!"
"That Xiaotian Douluo guards the sect's entrance. This one must be the Clear Sky Douluo!"
As for whether the Clear Sky Sect had any other Titled Douluo, Yu Xiaogang judged by his own experience and concluded it did not.
After all, his own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was also one of the Upper Three Sects, yet it had only one Titled Douluo: his father.
The Clear Sky Sect was also one of the Upper Three Sects, so it should have no more than two Titled Douluo.
"Clear Sky Douluo? So that's Tang Hao's title?"
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's analysis, Tang San knew his guess had been right.
"Could Tang Hao have been following me all this time?"
Tang San's heart tightened as he recalled whether he had done anything out of line over the years.
Good thing I didn't poison my teacher to farm Filial Points for the system. Otherwise, Tang Hao would definitely suspect I'd poisoned him before.
Looking at the giant hammer that blotted out the sky, Tang San knew that even if he used every trick he had, he still wouldn't be a match for Tang Hao.
"Clear Sky Douluo?" Xiao Wu also learned the identity of the person who had been watching her all along.
Da Ming and Er Ming still haven't taken that human down. I probably can't escape now! Xiao Wu thought.
At first, she had thought Da Ming and Er Ming would kill the Titled Douluo who was watching her.
Then she could keep her identity hidden and continue cultivating in the human world.
But now, Da Ming and Er Ming, the two Soul Beast kings, had been held off single-handedly by that Titled Douluo.
A powerhouse like him meant that even if she sneaked over to Da Ming and Er Ming, she might not be safe.
The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were powerful, but if she relied on their protection, she might end up dragging them down with her.
Xiao Wu thought it over and decided to stay put for now, though she could send a message to her two underlings.
Since the system says Li Ping'an is the child of destiny, would it be better for me to cultivate by his side? Xiao Wu wondered.
Just then, the four of them saw the enormous Clear Sky Hammer suddenly unleash astonishing power.
A surge of Soul Power so immense that even they could feel it swept through the area.
For some reason, Xiao Wu began to worry that something might happen to her two underlings.
"What a powerful human!" Xiao Wu frowned.
She gave up resisting her fate, realizing that she would probably have to rely on herself to escape the clutches of the Clear Sky Douluo.
Xiao Wu had no idea that Tang Hao had used a secret technique to detonate his Soul Rings, unleashing that power. It couldn't last.
If the fight dragged on, he would be no match for the two Soul Beast kings.
"As expected of His Excellency Haotian. Is he really that powerful?" Yu Xiaogang admired his idol from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, he had dreamed of becoming a powerhouse like him.
But after practicing the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, something in his mindset had changed. Now he was like a fan chasing his idol.
Still, he didn't let his admiration cloud his judgment. He quickly grabbed Tang San and said, "Xiao San, let's go!"
"This place will probably become their battlefield soon. We can't stay here!"
After half a year of cultivation, Yu Xiaogang had made some progress in his Soul Power.
Although he hadn't been able to break through his bottleneck before, he had occasionally cultivated his Soul Power, and it had gradually accumulated within him.
The Soul Power he had built up over more than twenty years wasn't much, but it had still brought him to level thirty-five.
"Teacher, I can walk on my own!"
Thinking of Yu Xiaogang's third Soul Skill and the sight of him dressed as a woman, Tang San shuddered and tried to pull his hand free.
He was still a child, but his mental age was over thirty.
Although the Tang Sect was in Shu, Tang San himself was a straight man.
How could a straight man in his thirties stand being tugged around by a cross-dressing man?
"Fine." Yu Xiaogang didn't insist. He knew what his disciple was capable of.
Without the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, he really wouldn't have been able to beat his own disciple.
"Grandmaster, give me a hand!" The Academy Dean reached out, taking the opportunity to ask.
Yu Xiaogang didn't refuse. He pulled the Academy Dean along, took Xiao Wu and Tang San with them, and hurried toward the edge of the forest.
They had already accomplished what they came here to do.
Tang San had absorbed a Soul Ring and become a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.
And while they were hunting Soul Beasts, Xiao Wu had also taken the opportunity to "come across" an injured Soul Beast. After killing it, she absorbed its Soul Ring.
The four fled toward the edge of the forest, with Xiao Wu trailing behind.
It wasn't because she couldn't keep up. Ever since she and Li Ping'an had begun researching Self-Created Soul Skills together, she had recovered much of the strength she'd possessed as a Soul Beast.
That included the movement technique of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit.
She fell behind to leave information for her two underlings, telling them about her current situation.
After using the Great Sumeru Hammer, Tang Hao finally drove back the two Soul Beast kings and took the opportunity to flee toward the edge of the forest.
He had detonated several Soul Rings. If he dared to stay, he would likely end up dead beneath those two beasts' claws.
"What immense power! It's actually no weaker than my Clear Sky Hammer!"
"And that Sky Azure Bull Python—its Thunder Annihilation actually managed to injure me!"
Tang Hao's face was pale. He had already been injured, and the two Soul Beasts had made his wounds even worse when they attacked him together.
"What a powerful human! Big brother, are you all right?" the Titan Giant Ape asked with concern.
The Sky Azure Bull Python tossed its enormous head. "I'm fine. That human is heading toward Sister Xiao Wu. Let's go see what's happened!"
The two Soul Beasts returned to the place where Xiao Wu and the others had been.
Before long, they found the traces Xiao Wu had left behind.
"What? Sister Xiao Wu was being watched by that human Soul Master? Doesn't that mean her identity has been exposed?"
"No, I have to go save Sister Xiao Wu!" The Titan Giant Ape rushed to act.
"Er Ming, don't be rash!"
The two Soul Beasts weren't particularly bright to begin with, and for a moment, they had no idea what to do.
"Big brother, are we just going to watch Sister Xiao Wu become a human Soul Ring?"
"Why don't we start a beast tide and invade the human world, then rescue Sister Xiao Wu in the chaos?" The Titan Giant Ape couldn't bear it.
The Sky Azure Bull Python shook its head. "This is Sister Xiao Wu's own choice. She'll find a way!"
"But we can't just sit back and do nothing!"
"I'll give the Soul Beasts in the forest an order: from now on, kill anyone carrying the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul!"
"If anything really happens to Sister Xiao Wu, I'll flatten the Clear Sky Sect!"
