Haotian Douluo! Utterly Inhuman!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Every swing of the Clear Sky Hammer carried a sonic boom, slamming heavily onto Dai Mubai's body!

Torso, limbs, head!

Each strike was followed by a crisp cracking sound, and one could clearly see deep hammer-shaped indentations appearing all over Dai Mubai's body.

Before long, accompanied by a final dull thud, Dai Mubai crashed to the ground, creating a massive crater.

By this time, almost every bone in his body was shattered. He lay limp on the ground like a pile of mud, vomiting blood repeatedly before finally losing consciousness entirely.

Even so, Dai Mubai was still not dead!

"What tenacious vitality."

Tang Hao sighed in admiration, put away the Clear Sky Hammer, wrapped his black cloak tighter, and turned his head to cast a profound gaze at Tang San in the crowd.

Then, in full view of everyone, Tang Hao bent down, slung the limp, mud-like Dai Mubai over his shoulder, glanced at the forest surrounding Shrek Academy, and sneered.

"I'll be taking him."

Leaving behind those cold, hard words, Tang Hao exerted force through his legs and shot into the air, disappearing from Shrek Academy in a few leaps.

With Tang Hao's departure, the air around Shrek Academy seemed to lighten.

Those scouts from various factions who had been hiding in the shadows, intending to fish in troubled waters, swallowed hard after witnessing the peerless ferocity of the Clear Sky Douluo and retreated silently from the scene.

The factions behind them had assumed that after the betrayal incident half a year ago, Dai Mubai would either be executed or tortured to death in a laboratory.

They never expected him to return from that world alive, so they hadn't made thorough preparations to target Shrek Academy.

Consequently, they were acting on short notice and were ill-prepared; most of the team leaders were only at the Spirit Douluo level.

A Spirit Douluo trying to rob a Title Douluo of his prey had zero chance of success.

Especially since almost everyone present recognized this Title Douluo as the infamous Clear Sky Douluo!

Who on the entire continent didn't know that the Clear Sky Douluo of the past was a peerless ruthless man who had fought his way out of a siege by Spirit Hall!

Just moments ago, having witnessed the Clear Sky Douluo hammer the beast-like Dai Mubai into a mangled mess, the many experts hiding in the dark couldn't help but feel a chill.

Their assessment of Tang Hao rose from "peerless ruthless man" to "completely inhumane."

Rob the Clear Sky Douluo's prey?

Were they tired of living?

They were only getting paid a pittance; why would they risk their lives for this?

Naturally, these details were also observed by Flender and Zhao Wuji.

"Are you alright?"

Flender asked, glancing at the gruesome wound clawed into Zhao Wuji's chest.

Zhao Wuji looked down at his wound, shook his head slightly, and stared deeply into the woods surrounding Shrek Academy, sensing the various auras gradually dissipating. He said coldly, "Just a minor injury. It won't take my life."

"I thought we were in for a tough fight, but with the Clear Sky Douluo stepping in, it saved us a lot of trouble."

Flender fell silent.

Indeed.

The two of them had actually sensed the anomaly long ago.

A few days prior, many unfamiliar faces had appeared outside Shrek Academy, and these strangers were blatantly inquiring about information regarding their academy.

They were acting without fear.

Naturally, these abnormal situations had not escaped the eyes of Zhao Wuji and Flender.

They knew these people were scouts sent by various factions on the continent, gathering information on Shrek and Dai Mubai, waiting for the one-year mark to pass so they could seize Dai Mubai the moment he returned to the Douluo Continent.

Zhao Wuji and Flender were completely helpless against this.

Or rather, they had no options.

In secret, Flender had once sought out Tang Hao, and Tang Hao's response had been: Dai Mubai had no value to the current Shrek Academy, so when the time came, they should simply let go and allow these people to take him.

If they dared to act against Shrek Academy, he would intervene.

But now, plans couldn't keep up with changes. Who could have guessed that Dai Mubai, after visiting another world, would become so insane that he would try to attack his two mentors?

And who could have guessed that even the two of them, both Spirit Sages, were no match for the current Dai Mubai!

"It's for the best. At least our Shrek Academy is safe and sound."

Flender looked gratefully in the direction Tang Hao had left.

He knew that by stepping in to subdue Dai Mubai in front of everyone and taking him away, Tang Hao had effectively taken away a massive problem.

On a deeper level, Tang Hao, already a wanted man by Spirit Hall, was now burdened with Dai Mubai—a target for almost every faction on the continent—and his path would surely be fraught with danger.

It was not just Spirit Hall, but all the major factions that would be hunting for his whereabouts.

Although Tang Hao's actions were intended to protect Tang San, he had, regardless, indirectly protected the Shrek Academy that Flender had built with all his heart and soul.

He had protected his life's work.

This alone made Flender feel deeply indebted to Tang Hao.

Meanwhile, Tang San stood frozen on the training grounds, completely and utterly plunged into shock!

Was that... Father just now?

The same face, the same temperament, and he had even glanced in his direction after subduing Dai Mubai!

From that single glance alone, Tang San was certain that the mysterious Title Douluo powerhouse was undoubtedly his father!

For a moment, Tang San felt as though his brain could not keep up.

Even having lived two lives, and even though his actual age far exceeded his appearance, he still felt that everything happening now was like a dream.

Although he had noticed some unusual details about his father before, he had never once thought in this direction.

It was simply because the contrast was too great!

Who could have imagined that the alcoholic, incompetent, and decadent father in his memory was actually a Title Douluo-level powerhouse?!

Moreover, his ninth spirit ring was red—was that the legendary hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?!

A legendary spirit ring; did this not mean that his father was an absolute powerhouse on the entire continent, one of the very few at the pinnacle?!

For a moment, Tang San felt as if the worldview he had built up all this time was collapsing.

Flender naturally noticed this, so he stepped forward, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and whispered, "I know you have many questions, but now is not the time."

"In a few days, when the timing is right, I will answer all the questions you have now."

Heaven knows if the powerhouses from the major factions lurking around Shrek Academy to capture Dai Mubai had left yet. If they discussed the Clear Sky Douluo now and someone happened to be eavesdropping, it would be a disaster!

Once Spirit Hall found out that Tang Hao had a son, Tang San would be in absolute danger.

Not just Tang San, but Shrek Academy would also be in danger.

Spirit Hall never cared about the process, only the results, and they would stop at nothing!

High in the sky, the light screen belonging to Cuihua suddenly flickered violently, and a white beam of light, even more dazzling than the last, descended toward the direction of Soto City.

At this very moment, inside Soto City, a war had already broken out!

Ning Fengzhi had openly entered Soto City accompanied by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
