Faced with Ao Tian's terrifying pressure, Tang Hao felt as if even his 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 that 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 caught in it.
Most importantly, Tang San was here as well.
Moreover, when fighting an opponent with such terrifying strength, he would have to use his trump cards. If that happened, he would no longer be able to hide his identity or whereabouts, and Spirit Hall would surely investigate him thoroughly.
Terrifying power erupted from Tang Hao's body. Every step he took made the ground visibly shake and crack, and with a single leap, he could jump dozens of meters.
Although he could fly, flying consumed too much energy and was even slower than running.
If he ran along the ground, the buildings could provide cover. He did not believe that White-Clad Youth would attack without restraint, since there were still people inside those buildings.
Ao Tian did not chase after him, but his aura remained fixed on Tang Hao, making Tang Hao feel as though thorns were pressing against his back. He did not dare pause for even a moment.
Xiao Wu had only run a few steps when she noticed that the Black-Clad Person had suddenly left. She stopped in confusion.
Then a terrifying thought flashed through her mind.
This handsome White-Clad Youth had actually scared 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 instantly broke out on Xiao Wu's forehead, and overwhelming fear engulfed her heart.
After taking human form, she had long lost her hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast cultivation. Before human experts, she truly was 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, watching 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 advanced step by step.
Despair appeared on Xiao Wu's face. Now that a human expert had recognized her identity, was there any way she could survive?
She suddenly regretted it deeply, regretted not listening to her mother and insisting on coming out to venture on her own.
Suddenly, lightning flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up.
"You just said you're Ao Tian's Brother. I'm Ao Tian's good friend."
After saying that, she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted with all her strength into the surroundings, "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 deterrence of his aura, Tang Hao had already escaped Nuoding City and was rapidly moving farther away.
He needed to 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, and he 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 set their sights on her, she would never be able to escape no matter how she ran.
After thinking it over, 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 hidden from Titled Douluos. Even some powerful Soul Douluos 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 where humans lived.
Outside Nuoding City, in just a few minutes, Tang Hao had already sprinted five thousand meters away.
That aura which made him feel immense pressure still enveloped him.
When he ran out of Nuoding City, he discovered that the man in white had not followed him.
Yet that aura remained fixed on him, which meant the man in white had no intention of letting the matter go.
"This is far enough." Tang Hao stopped and turned to look at distant Nuoding City.
He had become a Titled Douluo in his forties and had been hailed by the Soul Master world as the youngest Titled Douluo. Yet now, there was a Youth who looked barely twenty-something, 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 developed a strong interest in White-Clad Youth. Did the other party truly possess the strength of a Titled Douluo? How had he cultivated? And what was his background?
Tang Hao stood quietly on the dark ground, 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 yet to withdraw.
At the same time, he was deeply shocked. The other party could actually 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 an entirely new level.
Suddenly, Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply. About fifty meters in front of him, a figure 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, the other party did not have a single Soul Ring, leaving Tang Hao utterly baffled and filling his heart with deep wariness.
"Who exactly are you?" Tang Hao asked first.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you? What were you doing on 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 hide it anymore.
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 state your name," Tang Hao said.
Ao Tian pondered what title he should give himself.
As a member of the Ancient Dragon Clan, he was a one-of-a-kind existence in this Douluo World.
After thinking for a moment, Ao Tian said, "You may call me Dragon Ancestor. Ancestor as in forefather."
What arrogance, 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 to hear my name," Ao Tian said.
"So you are a reclusive expert." Tang Hao nodded.
The Douluo Continent did not only have experts from great sects and major powers. There were also some experts who ignored worldly affairs and devoted themselves solely to cultivation.
He guessed that this expert had been living in seclusion in Nuoding City. By recklessly releasing his Mental Power to investigate throughout Nuoding City today, he had offended this person.
As long as he isn't from Spirit Hall, it's fine, Tang Hao thought, feeling relieved.
"Now it's my turn to question you." Ao Tian stepped forward several paces, releasing a vast aura like a Primordial Divine Mountain that suppressed Tang Hao.
"You appeared in Nuoding Academy. Were you planning to target that Little Soul Beast?" Ao Tian's voice turned icy as his sharp eyes fixed on Tang Hao.
