After Tang San killed the gatekeeper at the entrance of Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy, he received no punishment.
He still took Yu Xiaogang as his master, and Yu Xiaogang brought him to meet the academy's dean.
The dean suppressed the entire matter and attached great importance to Tang San, wanting to arrange a separate dormitory for him.
However, Tang San sternly refused the proposal. He said that as a work-study student, he should live in the work-study dormitory and do the work of a work-study student.
Di Lintian did not take Na'er to register. After casually strolling through the academy, they arrived at the entrance to Dormitory Seven.
Through the open doors, Di Lintian spotted Xiao Wu at a glance. Na'er followed his gaze.
"Soul Beast!"
Na'er cried out in surprise. She had not expected to see a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast here.
She turned to Di Lintian. There was not the slightest hint of surprise on his face. So that was it—he had already known that a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would appear here today.
Na'er did not ask aloud, because she knew that even if she asked, Di Lintian would not answer.
In the shadows, Red Fire and Mystic Water, who had concealed themselves, also recognized Xiao Wu's identity as a Soul Beast. Yet neither of them was surprised.
After all, the two people they protected were transformed Soul Beasts. For all they knew, this little girl might be one of their leaders as well.
They thought so, but someone else did not. Behind them, a powerful aura suddenly erupted.
"May I ask which Titled Douluo you two are?"
Tang Hao, concealed beneath a black robe, summoned the Clear Sky Hammer into his hand and questioned Red Fire and Mystic Water.
Red Fire and Mystic Water turned around together. Upon seeing the two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit rings, as well as the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, they immediately guessed the identity of the man before them.
Without the slightest hesitation, Red Fire and Mystic Water instantly used Martial Soul Possession, pressing back to back.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice-Fire Flood Dragon Transformation!"
Douluo Chi Huo completely transformed into a Red Fire Flood Dragon and soared into the sky with nine spirit rings. Douluo Xuan Shui did the same.
The two merged in midair, becoming a Water-Fire Twin Dragon with twin heads of water and fire, its entire body covered in water-fire dragon scales.
"Clear Sky Douluo, fight us outside the city!"
The Water-Fire Twin Dragon's two dragon heads spoke to Tang Hao in hoarse voices at once, then flew toward the outskirts of Nuoding City.
"So it is Seniors Red Fire and Mystic Water of Sky Dragon Pavilion." Tang Hao recognized the two, and his figure followed the Water-Fire Twin Dragon.
Outside the city.
The Water-Fire Twin Dragon said hoarsely, "I never expected the great Clear Sky Douluo to appear in such a small place."
"I never expected to meet the two guardians, Red Fire and Mystic Water."
A flash of red light passed over Tang Hao's body. Divine Slaughter's Domain, activate!
Tang Hao had already offended Spirit Hall and did not want to offend Sky Dragon Pavilion as well, but he knew this battle could not be avoided.
When Red Fire and Mystic Water had been level ninety-two, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had been able to severely injure a Super Douluo. Now that both were level ninety-five, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill should be able to unleash the strength of level ninety-seven.
Tang Hao silently cursed his luck. In his prime, he naturally would not fear them, but in his current condition, he was likely no match for the two of them.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Clear Sky Avatar!"
The Seventh Spirit Ring beneath Tang Hao's feet suddenly flashed. His aura surged, and his whole body seemed to merge with the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
The next moment, two yellow spirit rings beneath his feet rapidly rose and instantly reached the hand of the Clear Sky Avatar. The enormous phantom hand clenched hard, shattering the two spirit rings.
"Ring Detonation!"
The vast energy released by the shattered yellow spirit rings flowed into the Clear Sky Hammer, and Tang Hao's aura surged once more.
He gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly and raised it high. His legs exploded with force as he leaped into the air and smashed down at the Water-Fire Twin Dragon's two pairs of dragon heads.
Facing the Clear Sky Hammer carrying tremendous force, the Water-Fire Twin Dragon did not dodge. Tang Hao's full-powered strike after detonating two spirit rings would not have given it a chance to dodge anyway.
Rather than retreat, it advanced, using its hardest dragon horns to crash into the Clear Sky Hammer.
The forked horns locked onto the hammerhead, and the dragon heads violently flung themselves in the direction opposite the hammer's descent!
The Clear Sky Hammer slid along the dragon scales, dragging Tang Hao down toward the ground.
Using inertia to dissipate most of the Clear Sky Hammer's force, the Water-Fire Twin Dragon twisted its body around and aimed both heads at Tang Hao. Its mouths opened, and one red and one blue breath tore through the air.
Before Tang Hao could catch his breath, the two dragon breaths were already right before him.
"Clear Sky Body Protection!"
A defensive barrier shaped like the head of a Clear Sky Hammer instantly spread around Tang Hao.
"Bang—!"
The instant the two dragon breaths struck Clear Sky Body Protection, it was as if the entire world fell silent for a second.
Violent waves of energy spread outward like scorching summer gusts, making Tang Hao's black robe flap wildly.
"Crack—!"
A cracking sound rang out, and an extremely small fissure appeared on the barrier of Clear Sky Body Protection.
Red Fire and Mystic Water exchanged a glance and simultaneously increased their Soul Power output. Wherever the Red Fire Dragon Breath passed, all grass and trees turned to ash.
The Mystic Water Dragon Breath also carried violent winds, blowing the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees in every direction.
Tang Hao held the Clear Sky Hammer horizontally and let out a muffled grunt. His body retreated again and again, leaving two long trails on the ground.
"Is this all the strength the Clear Sky Douluo has?" the azure dragon head asked disdainfully.
"Show us the strength you had when you, as a Soul Douluo, fought three Titled Douluo alone," the crimson dragon head mocked as well.
"You go too far!"
For some reason, as Tang Hao's anger rose, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand suddenly blazed with blood-red light and smashed toward the two dragon breaths with incomparable force.
Before the Clear Sky Hammer blazing with blood-red light, the two dragon breaths were as fragile as ordinary glass and were utterly crushed by that force.
Four black spirit rings rose at the same time and fell into the hand of the Clear Sky Avatar.
"Detonate! Detonate! Detonate! Detonate!"
Tang Hao shouted four times in succession. The four black spirit rings shattered one after another, once more transforming into pure energy that surged into the Clear Sky Hammer.
His aura also reached its peak. The powerful fluctuations of Soul Power shredded his black robe, revealing Tang Hao's weathered face beneath it.
With my current physique, this is already the strongest strike I can unleash. After this blow, regardless of victory or defeat, I must leave this place quickly.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Tang Hao shouted fiercely and gripped the hammer handle with both hands. At that moment, he and the Clear Sky Hammer fused perfectly.
Relying on absolute power, Tang Hao leaped upward once more and arrived above the Water-Fire Twin Dragon. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand continuously grew larger.
As the Water-Fire Twin Dragon watched the mountain-sized Clear Sky Hammer crash down, a trace of surprise flashed in its dragon eyes. It had not expected Tang Hao to unleash such powerful strength.
"True Dragon Breath!"
The azure and crimson dragon heads once again spewed water-fire dragon breath from their mouths, the two breaths merging before them.
In the end, they became a radiant white beam that shot toward the Clear Sky Hammer blotting out the sky.
"Sizzle—!"
There was no deafening collision, nor was there a roaring explosion. The True Dragon Breath frantically burned the Clear Sky Hammer, pushing it back bit by bit.
Tang Hao's eyes narrowed, and his arms exerted force once again. The Clear Sky Hammer instantly surged forward a great distance.
After a brief stalemate, the True Dragon Breath gradually weakened. Red Fire and Mystic Water's Soul Power could no longer sustain the terrifying consumption of True Dragon Breath.
Tang Hao sharply seized this opening. "Heaven-Striking Blow!"
This Heaven-Striking Blow became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Clear Sky Hammer smashed heavily onto the Water-Fire Twin Dragon, sending the entire dragon crashing toward the ground like a meteor.
A faint glow of Soul Power flashed by, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill instantly dissolved. The two collapsed unconscious on the ground in weakness.
Tang Hao also landed heavily on the ground. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand dissipated, and he leaned beneath a nearby crooked tree, gasping for breath.
His condition was no better than Red Fire and Mystic Water's. The successive Ring Detonations had pushed his body to its limits, and he would not be able to use Soul Power for some time.
After sitting there for a while, Tang Hao stood up. Without paying any attention to the unconscious pair, he headed toward Holy Soul Village.
"Are you not going to kill him?"
From the shadows, Na'er looked at Tang Hao as he walked away and could not help asking.
Di Lintian and Na'er had arrived at the battlefield almost at the same time as Tang Hao and had been hiding in the dark, watching the battle.
"He will still be of great use in the future, so he cannot be killed for now." Di Lintian smiled as he stroked Na'er's short silver hair.
Not only could he not kill Tang Hao, but Di Lintian had rushed over with Na'er because he feared that Red Fire and Mystic Water would directly kill Tang Hao. What he had not expected was that Tang Hao would actually win.
He could only sigh to himself: As expected of a man with maxed-out stats—the left hammer dealt high damage, and the right hammer dealt even higher damage.
