Dragon Ancestor (Third Update, Please Vote)

Facing Ao Tian's terrifying pressure, Tang Hao actually felt as if his very soul was about to tremble.

He had never experienced such a feeling before. Even the legendary Level Ninety-nine was probably no more than this.

Realizing something was wrong, Tang Hao turned and fled without the slightest hesitation.

Even though he still believed he had the strength to fight, he did not want to stay.

After all, this was Nuoding Academy. If a battle broke out here, innocent people would likely be harmed.

Most importantly, Tang San was here as well.

Moreover, against an opponent with such terrifying strength, he would have to use his trump cards. If that happened, his identity and whereabouts could no longer remain hidden, and Spirit Hall would inevitably investigate him thoroughly.

Terrifying power erupted from Tang Hao's body. Every step he took made the ground visibly shake and crack, and a single leap could carry him dozens of meters.

Though he could fly, it consumed too much energy, and it was not even as fast as running.

Running on the ground also gave him the cover of buildings. He did not believe that White-Clad Youth would be mad enough to attack, since there were still people inside those buildings.

Ao Tian did not chase after him, but his aura continued to shroud Tang Hao, making him feel as though thorns were pricking his back. He did not dare pause for even an instant.

Xiao Wu, who had only run a few steps, noticed that the Black-Clad Person had suddenly left. She stopped in confusion.

Then a terrifying thought flashed through her mind.

That handsome White-Clad Youth had actually frightened away a Titled Douluo. Didn't that mean he possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo as well? Wouldn't that mean he had seen through her identity at a glance...

At that thought, Cold Sweat immediately broke out across Xiao Wu's body, and overwhelming terror engulfed her heart.

After taking human form, she had long since lost her hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast cultivation. Before powerful human experts, she was truly nothing more than a weak little white rabbit.

"A hundred-thousand-year-old little rabbit, what are you afraid of?" Ao Tian asked with a smile, staring at Xiao Wu with interest.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." Xiao Wu kept backing away, shaking her little head like a rattle drum.

"A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit. Am I right?" Ao Tian pressed closer step by step.

Despair appeared on Xiao Wu's face. Now that a powerful human had recognized her identity, was there any way for her to survive?

She suddenly regretted it deeply, regretted not listening to her mother's words and insisting on coming out to explore the world.

Suddenly, lightning seemed to flash through her mind, and her eyes abruptly lit up.

"You just said you were Ao Tian's Brother. I'm Ao Tian's good friend."

After saying that, she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Ao Tian, where are you? Your brother is here! Come out quickly!"

She understood that Ao Tian was the only one who could save her now.

"Enough, enough." Ao Tian waved his hand, deciding not to tease Xiao Wu any further.

He sensed that, under the suppression of his aura, Tang Hao had already fled Nuoding City and was rapidly moving farther away.

He needed to go meet this legendary figure of the Clear Sky Sect, the Douluo whose title was Hao Tian.

Xiao Wu stopped calling for help and stared blankly at Ao Tian.

Ao Tian's figure flickered once, and he actually vanished into thin air.

"He left?" Xiao Wu muttered. "Was that Teleportation? But why didn't I see his Martial Soul or Soul Rings?"

With the two terrifying experts gone, Xiao Wu was no longer in a hurry to flee.

She understood that with her current strength, if a Titled Douluo truly had their eye on her, there was no way she could escape no matter how she ran.

After thinking for a while, she returned to sit atop that large rock.

Her mind was in chaos. She needed to think about whether she should continue studying at Nuoding Academy.

After Soul Beasts took human form, they had to stay close to humans and experience the aura of humans in order to grow quickly.

However, before reaching the Maturity Period, the lingering Soul Beast Aura on her body could not be concealed from Titled Douluo. Even some powerful Soul Douluo could see through her identity.

Once she entered the Maturity Period, she would no longer have to fear being recognized.

If she left this place, she would have to go somewhere else inhabited by humans.

Outside Nuoding City, in just a few minutes, Tang Hao had already sprinted five thousand meters away.

That aura that made him feel immense pressure still shrouded him.

When he ran out of Nuoding City, he had discovered that the man in white had not followed him.

But the aura continued to envelop him, which meant that the man in white had no intention of letting the matter rest.

"It's far enough." Tang Hao stopped and turned to look toward distant Nuoding City.

He had become a Titled Douluo in his forties and had been praised by the Soul Master world as the youngest Titled Douluo. Yet now, there was a Youth who looked to be in his twenties, whose strength might be even more terrifying than his.

It was simply unbelievable. How could someone possibly reach the realm of a Titled Douluo in their twenties?

Tang Hao felt that everything he knew had been overturned. Reaching Titled Douluo in one's twenties was unprecedented!

Thus, he became deeply interested in White-Clad Youth. Did the other party truly possess the strength of a Titled Douluo? How had he cultivated? What was his background?

Tang Hao stood quietly upon the dark earth, silently adjusting his condition as he waited for White-Clad Youth to arrive.

He was certain the other party would come, because the aura locked onto him had not withdrawn.

At the same time, he was profoundly shocked that the other party could lock onto him from five thousand meters away.

Tang Hao knew that, with the strength of his current Mental Power, he simply could not cover such a vast range.

His assessment of White-Clad Youth's strength rose to yet another level.

Suddenly, Tang Hao's pupils shrank sharply. Around fifty meters in front of him, a figure clad in white appeared out of thin air.

What kind of method was this? Tang Hao was somewhat stunned.

At the instant the other party appeared, he had not sensed the slightest fluctuation. Even Teleportation would produce faint spatial aura fluctuations.

Furthermore, there was not a single Soul Ring on the other party's body. Tang Hao could not understand it no matter how he thought about it, and deep wariness arose within him.

"Who exactly are you?" Tang Hao asked first.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking that? What were you doing running into my territory? Lord Hao Tian." Ao Tian smiled.

Tang Hao's heart jolted. "How do you know my identity?"

He understood that since the other party could name his identity, there was no need for him to keep concealing it.

Ao Tian pointed at his eyes. "No one can hide their identity before my Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze."

"Since you have already seen through my identity, according to the Rules of the Soul Master world, you should also announce your name," Tang Hao said.

Ao Tian considered what title he ought to give himself.

As a member of the Ancient Dragon Clan, he was a unique existence in this Douluo World.

After thinking it over, Ao Tian said, "You may call me Dragon Ancestor. Ancestor as in forefather."

What an arrogant claim, Tang Hao thought.

"Since you possess such strength, why have I never heard your name before?" he asked.

"I have lived in seclusion for countless years. You are the first person to hear my name," Ao Tian said.

"So you are a reclusive expert." Tang Hao nodded.

The Douluo Continent did not only have experts within great sects and major powers. There were also experts who ignored worldly affairs and devoted themselves solely to cultivation.

He guessed that this expert had been living in seclusion in Nuoding City, and that his wanton release of Mental Power to investigate the city today had offended him.

As long as he isn't from Spirit Hall, that's good. Tang Hao inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now it's my turn to ask you." Ao Tian stepped forward a few paces, and a vast aura radiated from him like a Primordial Divine Mountain, suppressing Tang Hao.

"You appeared in Nuoding Academy. Were you planning to make a move on that Little Soul Beast?" Ao Tian's voice was icy as his sharp eyes fixed on Tang Hao.
