Demon Subduing Douluo Faces Tang Hao-Both Wield Clear Sky, Yet You're Not Worth a Hair on Tang Chen's Head!
Tang Hao seemed to see through Tang San's thoughts.
"Xiao San, are you worried about that girl?"
"Dad, you know Xiao Wu?"
Tang Hao nodded.
"What I'm about to say may shock you, but it's the truth."
Tang Hao paused, stared into Tang San's eyes, and lowered his voice.
"That girl isn't human. She is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation."
Tang San showed no surprise after hearing this, his expression remaining calm.
"Dad, I already knew Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Transformation."
"You knew? She told you?"
"No! I saw through it myself."
Tang Hao froze for a moment, then a pleased smile appeared on his face.
He had not expected Tang San's spiritual power to be so strong that he could see Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast Transformation.
The second awakening of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul required sufficient spiritual power.
He had originally been somewhat worried.
Now, it seemed he had worried for nothing. Tang San's spiritual power should not be a problem.
"Besides you, does anyone else know Xiao Wu's true identity?"
"No, I'm the only one. Even Xiao Wu herself doesn't know that I've seen through her true identity."
"Dugu Bo doesn't know either?"
"No, he doesn't. I gave Xiao Wu an Immortal Herb that can conceal the Soul Beast aura on her body."
Tang Hao nodded happily.
His son understood medicinal principles and could apply them flexibly. He felt greatly relieved.
"As expected of my son, Tang Hao's son. You're facing the same choice I did back then. That Immortal Herb you mentioned may work for now, but Xiao Wu is still a Soul Beast Transformation. A Title Douluo-level expert, or a Soul Douluo with powerful spiritual power, could see through her identity. While secretly watching you, I have also been watching her. If we leave, her situation will become dangerous. She is practically a walking Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone. Her fate is in your hands. How you choose is up to you."
Tang San fell silent.
He understood what his father meant.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone were temptations no Soul Master could resist.
"Dad, after we complete our special training, will you still bring me back to participate in the Soul Master Tournament?"
"If Grandmaster can handle this matter, then of course I'll bring you back. The champion's reward for this Soul Master Tournament is three Spirit Bones. If you can obtain those three Spirit Bones, they will be of great help when you use the Clear Sky Hammer Technique in the future. I'll tell you more gradually later."
"Then for this special training trip, can we bring Xiao Wu with us?"
Tang Hao frowned.
"It seems the bond between you two is even deeper than I imagined."
"Yes. Xiao Wu and I met when I was six or seven, and we are as close as siblings. I swore to her that unless I die, I will never leave her."
"Fine. If she stays here, you'll be constantly worried, and it'll affect your training. It would be better to keep her by your side."
Tang Hao agreed to bring Xiao Wu along because he did not want her to fall into someone else's hands.
She was a walking Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone!
Even if she became a Spirit Ring, she could only become one for his son, Tang San!
"Xiao San, get some rest first. I'll talk with Grandmaster for a while."
"Alright."
Tang Hao left the room and spoke with Yu Xiaogang for a while, saying that he might take Tang San and Xiao Wu away at any time.
This had come far too suddenly.
With Xiao Wu and Tang San suddenly gone from the Shrek Seven Monsters, their overall strength would be greatly reduced.
But Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer had been exposed, so there was no other choice.
Since the Clear Sky Hammer had already been exposed anyway, there was no need to keep hiding it.
With Tang Hao personally guiding Tang San, Tang San's control over the Clear Sky Hammer and hammer techniques would surely rise to another level.
All Yu Xiaogang needed to do was persuade Bibi Dong not to make things difficult for Tang San and allow him to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.
Tang Hao did not stay at Shrek Academy for long.
He knew Ye Han was staying at the Heaven Dou City Grand Hotel.
He needed to keep an eye on Ye Han and find an opportunity to deal with him.
Early the next morning.
Tang San found Xiao Wu and briefly explained the situation to her.
Xiao Wu was surprised, but she supported Tang San's decision and was willing to leave with him.
Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer had already been exposed. Staying by his father's side was safer.
"Brother, when are we leaving?"
"I don't know either. Dad told us to wait for him here. He could come get us at any time. Hurry and pack up."
"Okay."
Tang San said his farewells to Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others one by one.
Everyone was somewhat reluctant to part.
"Xiao San, you have to come back! The Shrek Seven Monsters are a whole—we can't be without you!"
"Don't worry. We'll be back before the Soul Master Tournament. Fatty, you all need to train hard too and strive to break through Rank 40 as soon as possible."
As they spoke, a black streak of light suddenly descended from the sky.
It was Tang Hao.
"Xiao San, are you ready?"
"Yes. We're all packed."
"Then let's go quickly. If we're late, it'll be too late."
Tang Hao's tone was urgent.
He had secretly followed Ye Han and discovered that Ye Han and the old man had left Heaven Dou City early that morning, heading south.
Dai Mubai and the others were dumbfounded when they saw Tang Hao.
This middle-aged man was unkempt and disheveled, looking like a beggar.
Where was even a trace of the legendary Clear Sky Douluo's unrivaled bearing?
Tang Hao looked toward Yu Xiaogang and Flender in the distance.
"Grandmaster, Flender, we're leaving!"
The moment he finished speaking, the three figures vanished from where they stood.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
"Damn, is this the strength of a Title Douluo? Xiao San's dad is way too strong! He took the two of them away in the blink of an eye."
Flender and Yu Xiaogang exchanged smiles.
Both of them knew perfectly well that Tang Hao was leaving in such a hurry because he was probably going after Ye Han.
That brat was in trouble now.
Who told him to humiliate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and the Clear Sky Hammer?
He could just wait to endure the wrath of the Clear Sky Douluo!
Tang Hao flew through the air with Tang San and Xiao Wu.
They soon caught up with Ye Han.
They really didn't get far!
Tang Hao thought to himself.
Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eyes and also noticed the two figures on the ground.
Though those two figures appeared much smaller from this distance, he still recognized Ye Han at a glance—the one who had humiliated him on the arena the night before!
"Dad, is that Ye Han on the right?!"
"That's right, it's him!"
Tang San immediately thought of something.
"Dad, are you going to deal with him?"
"Hmph! He spoke recklessly, humiliated the Clear Sky Hammer, and even injured you. Of course I won't let him off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao brought Tang San and Xiao Wu down onto a mountaintop.
Tang San sensed something was wrong.
"Dad, be careful. It could be a trap!"
"Hmph! Would I, the mighty Clear Sky Douluo, fear them?! Xiao San, watch closely. This is the true Clear Sky Hammer!"
Before Tang Hao had even finished speaking, he turned into a black streak of light and shot toward the two figures.
At the same time, black light surged within his right palm.
A gigantic pitch-black hammer instantly appeared. Black light flickered across its surface, giving off an oppressive aura as heavy as a mountain.
Without a second thought, Tang Hao swung the massive hammer.
A black hammer phantom as thick as a water barrel hurtled toward the two figures on the ground.
"Kid, just as you predicted! The retaliation aimed at you is here! Take off now!"
Ye Han instantly released his Golden Light Wings and shot into the sky as a golden streak of light.
At the same time, the Sky-Piercing Spear appeared in his left hand.
Almost at the same instant, Demon Subduing Douluo vanished from where he stood.
Boom!
The black hammer phantom struck the ground, instantly blasting out a pit several meters deep.
The earth trembled as shattered rocks flew in every direction and dust billowed into the air.
Demon Subduing Douluo floated in the air beside Ye Han, looking at Tang Hao across from them with a disdainful smile curling his lips.
At that moment, Demon Subduing Douluo held a dark-golden long staff in his hand.
The heavy aura it emitted was in no way inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer.
"You are Tang Hao?"
Tang Hao frowned but did not answer.
He carefully examined the old man opposite him and the long staff in his hand, shock surging through his heart.
That was... the Coiling Dragon Staff?!
Were they from Spirit Hall?
Demon Subduing Douluo did not give Tang Hao much time to think.
He raised his right hand, pointing the Coiling Dragon Staff directly at Tang Hao.
"A dignified Title Douluo actually ambushed a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old youngster. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?
Both of you bear the Clear Sky title, but at least in terms of magnanimity, you little bastard aren't worth even a single hair on Tang Chen's head!
As for your strength, let this old man's Coiling Dragon Staff put it to the test!"
