Chapter 176 Meeting Tang Hao for the first time
After dealing with the Cardinal of the Suotuo City Spirit Main Hall, Wu Ling made some arrangements for the remaining personnel, and then took a car alone to the Shrek Academy Suotuo City.
When Wu Ling arrived, he happened to witness Tang San's one-on-one battle against Zhao Wuji Immovable Wisdom King.
"Hmm, is this Blue Silver Entangle? I remember I killed a Mandala Snake back then, so why does Tang San have Entangle again? Could it be a different one?" Wu Ling, who was hiding in the shadows, expressed his doubts as he watched Tang San use Entangle. But with the appearance of the Blue Silver Flying Knife, Wu Ling understood.
"The second Spirit Skill's parasitism has turned into Flying Knife... No, the first Spirit Skill is Flying Knife, and the second Spirit Skill is Entangle? Could this be the world's corrective force?"
That's right, just as Wu Ling saw, Tang San's second Spirit Skill became Entangle, but the reason was not the corrective force, but the guidance from Yu Xiaogang.
When Tang San obtained his second Spirit Skill, he originally wanted to choose the Ghost Vine, which was also a plant. However, Yu Xiaogang interrupted Tang San and expressed his opinion, "When absorbing Spirit Ring, you can try to absorb Spirit Ring of the same race. This will allow different Spirit Ring to promote each other. Therefore, the Mandala Snake, which is also a snake Ghost Vine like the First Soul Ring, is better than the Ghost Vine."
And so, just like in the original story, Tang San acquired the " Entangle " Spirit Skill.
Wu Ling watched as Tang San used those dazzling Hidden Weapon to hold off Zhao Wuji for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. He then realized that the plot was still under control, so Tang Hao would appear on his own tonight. What he needed to do now was to conserve his strength, since he had come here alone this time.
Time passed quietly, and when the night was deep and quiet, in the mountains outside the Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji, who had suffered a humiliating defeat at Tang San's hands during the day, was now on high alert. Even with the Four-Eyed Owl Flender by his side, he did not feel much safer.
Under the oppressive aura of the opponent Four-Eyed Owl Flender unconsciously released his Martial Soul. A pair of huge wings spread out from his back, his whole body was covered with a layer of feathers, and the pupils in his orange-yellow eyes stood upright.
At this moment, Flender and Zhao Wuji each had seven Spirit Ring pulsating on their bodies, yellow, purple, black, black, black, the best ratio of Spirit Ring of the same color, showing their foundation and strength. However, when facing the other person present, they were like fireflies under the bright moon.
Opposite Zhao Wuji and Flender, a man dressed entirely in black robes spoke indifferently, " Flender, you step aside, or I'll beat you up too."
" Zhao Wuji, I'll give you a chance. I won't use my Martial Soul. If you can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll leave without a word. Otherwise, you must do something for me."
Upon hearing this, Flender, who was standing next to Zhao Wuji, immediately stepped aside without any sense of loyalty, clearly indicating that he had no intention of getting involved.
Then, the sound of a collision rang out, followed by muffled groans and screams that echoed through the woods. Flender, who had his wings outstretched nearby, couldn't help but cover his eyes and turn his head away.
There was no need to light an incense stick; the entire battle was over in just a few minutes. The man in black stood with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened, and his black clothes were not even wrinkled.
Poor Zhao Wuji was lying on the ground, his head swollen all over, his eyes blackened, and blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. He was panting heavily.
The man in black spoke again, his voice still calm. After giving them his instructions, he vanished in a flash. By the time Zhao Wuji and the other looked over, he had already disappeared.
Zhao Wuji stood there, being supported by Flender. Seeing the man leave, Zhao Wuji complained, " Flender, you're such a traitor!"
Flender retorted, "You're acting innocent after getting the benefit! It was Titled Douluo's guidance, after all. Besides, who told you to be so reckless during the day? We should have just let Dai Mubai take the test; nothing would have happened, and you wouldn't have gotten this beating for nothing."
"Ouch... that really hurts. But this guy is truly strong; no wonder he killed the Pope of the Spirit Hall back then..."
"Boom!"
As Zhao Wuji was speaking with a sigh, a loud bang suddenly echoed through the calm night, and golden and silver light flashed rapidly in the distant plains.
Zhao Wuji was somewhat bewildered, pointing in that direction with a trembling hand, he said, "Boss, this seems to be the direction that His Excellency Clear Sky, right? Should we... go take a look?"
"If you're looking for death, don't drag me down with you. This is clearly a battle between Titled Douluo- level experts. The Spirit Hall has grown stronger over the years and has been relentlessly pursuing that Lord. If we small fry dare to get involved in their affairs, we won't even know how we died."
Flender rolled his eyes and continued, "I just received news today that the Cardinal of the Spirit Main Hall in Suotuo City is dead. A big shot from the Spirit Hall has personally come to Suotuo City to deal with some issues within the Balak Kingdom. I was wondering why Spirit City suddenly started this."
Now that I think about it, maybe they were only after that crowned prince, and the Cardinal and the others were just incidental.
"Let's go back early now and take care of the academy and students. If anything really happens to that guy, I'll send Tang San away. After all, he's Xiao Gang's disciple..."
After discussing it, Flender and Zhao Wuji hurriedly returned to the academy. Zhao Wuji, with his bruised and swollen face, was quite conspicuous, but he didn't have the mind to explain much at the moment. With this appearance, he left the academy with the teachers and students.
Under the starry sky, a phantom black figure darted through the mountains and forests. It was the man in black who had just beaten up Zhao Wuji and left Shrek. However, his clothes now had some burn marks. When he stepped into a grassy area, he suddenly stopped.
The swaying wild grass in front of them had a hazy beauty under the bright moonlight. A gentle breeze blew by, and a faint fragrance of flowers lingered in the air. Under this beautiful moonlit night, a figure stood with his back to the man in black, his hands behind his back, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"The moon is truly beautiful tonight. It is quite a coincidence to meet you at this time, wouldn't you say, Your His Excellency Clear Sky?"
The figure under the moonlight turned around; it was Wu Ling, who had been prepared all along. The Wu Ling shone on him, adding a touch of mystery to his smiling face.
" Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, I didn't expect you to find out after all. You were the ones who set up that trap earlier, weren't you? Call the others out, or today will be the day you die."
As Tang Hao spoke, he raised his right hand, and a black light condensed in his palm, transforming into a giant Clear Sky Hammer. "It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles. You should know, I've wanted to kill you for a long time."
Nine Spirit Ring quietly appeared on his body: two yellow, two purple, four black, and finally, a touch of blood red.
The nine Spirit Ring did not pulsate around his body, but remained quietly stationary in different locations on Tang Hao's body, completely enveloping him.
The nine Spirit Ring represented his status Titled Douluo, especially the last Spirit Ring. The slight aura that he had suppressed in front of Zhao Wuji and Flender was now completely released, and Tang Hao's aura suddenly became incredibly terrifying.
