Bofeng vs. Tang Xiao, a Ridiculous Mix-Up

"Great!"

"My Soul Power has finally reached level thirty-eight." Bofeng rejoiced as he sensed the change in his Soul Power.

Ever since arriving in Heaven Dou City, Bofeng had been busy with matters concerning the shop. His Soul Power had already reached the bottleneck for a breakthrough.

Just two more levels, and he would become a Soul Ancestor.

Stars glittered across the night sky, and a full moon hung high overhead. Bofeng rubbed his bleary eyes, intending to go to sleep first.

In the darkness of night, a man clad in a black robe and standing over two meters tall appeared before Bofeng.

Bofeng: "?"

Good grief, ever since he had arrived in Heaven Dou City, he had not had a moment of peace.

Bofeng sighed. "Who are you? If you want to buy something, come back tomorrow. We're closed for the day."

The black-robed man asked coldly, "You... are Bofeng?"

Bofeng nodded. This man was definitely over two meters tall, a whole head taller than him.

That solemn aura made it clear that the man had come with ill intent.

"May I ask who you are?" Bofeng said calmly, his right hand already reaching behind his back as Blue Light faintly flickered.

The black-robed man asked, "Do you know the mistress of Moonlight Pavilion, Tang Yuehua?"

"Know her? She's my..."

Before Bofeng could finish, the black-robed man moved. His massive palm clenched into an iron fist and shot straight toward Bofeng.

This guy!

Blue Light flickered around Bofeng's right hand, carrying a trace of the sea's power as it collided with the black-robed man's iron fist.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

Both men were knocked back at the same time, their hearts filled with shock.

"A Titled Douluo?"

Bofeng had often been trained by the Seven Great Sacred Pillar Douluo as a child, leaving him extremely sensitive to such things.

That strike just now had contained a trace of Soul Power from the black-robed man. Bofeng could sense that the other party was furious.

But Bofeng had only been in Heaven Dou City for a few days. There was no way a Titled Douluo would have set his sights on him, much less...

The other party was enraged. The only thing Bofeng could not understand was...

Tang Yuehua!

Someone from Spirit Hall?

That remained unclear.

"Senior..."

Bofeng was helpless. The other party gave him no chance to speak, launching another attack.

Fists rained down like raindrops. Bofeng frowned slightly as Blue Light flickered in his right hand, and a sea-blue Trident appeared in his grasp.

The Second Spirit Ring upon it began to rotate, giving off a dazzling purple glow.

"A thousand-year Second Spirit Ring?" The black-robed man's eyes widened. This Bofeng had some skill. His second ring was thousand-year level; no one on the continent dared to do such a thing.

"Second Soul Skill, Sea God's Guard."

A blue barrier firmly protected Bofeng as the black-robed man's fists came crashing down like a torrent of steel, as fast as bullets.

His combat ability was not bad, but unfortunately...

Dark light flashed in the black-robed man's right hand, and a black Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his grip. The nine Spirit Rings surrounding it immediately caught Bofeng's attention...

"Clear Sky Hammer! A Titled Douluo! You're from the Clear Sky Sect?" Bofeng asked in surprise.

"Since you know all that, why did you abandon Yuehua? What did she ever do to wrong you?!" the black-robed man suddenly roared in agitation.

"?"

Bofeng's face darkened.

"Stop!" Bofeng shouted. The black-robed man opposite him froze slightly.

"Tang Yuehua is my Little Niece! What do you mean, abandoning her? Since you're a Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, go back and ask her what exactly is going on!"

"Little Niece?"

The black-robed man frowned. "Who exactly are you? Why do you say Yuehua is your Little Niece?"

"That's what I should be asking you!"

As he spoke, dark light flashed in Bofeng's left hand, and a Clear Sky Hammer identical to the black-robed man's appeared.

The black-robed man could hardly believe it. There was no mistake—the Clear Sky Hammer before him was the direct-line Spirit of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Who exactly are you? Why did Yuehua say you abandoned her? And that little girl named Nannan? Yuehua insisted she was her biological daughter."

The black-robed man's questions made Bofeng's eyelids twitch. What was this situation? The relationships were truly a complete mess.

"Are you Tang Xiao? Tang Hao? Or one of the five elders?"

The black-robed man lifted his robe, revealing his true appearance.

"My name is Tang Xiao, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. Whose child are you?"

Looking at Tang Xiao before him, Bofeng nodded. As expected, he possessed extraordinary bearing. If Tang Xiao was already like this, what would Tang Hao be like?

"My father is Tang Chen!"

Tang Chen?

Tang Xiao sucked in a cold breath. His grandfather's child? How was that possible?

His grandfather had been missing for decades. How could he have left behind a child, and one so young at that?

Was Yuehua lying, or was this Bofeng simply making things up?

"Then why isn't your surname 'Tang'? Why is it 'Bo'?"

Tang Xiao was only half convinced by Bofeng's words. His younger sister could not possibly be lying. Absolutely not.

"Who says a wielder of the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit must have the surname Tang? I lived with my mother from childhood. My father left before I was even born, seeking the path to Ascend to Godhood."

"My mother is the Great High Priest of Sea God Island, the Sea God Douluo: Bo Saixi."

As he spoke, the Sea God's Crown Bofeng wore radiated Golden Light.

The Trident in his hand gradually vanished. One yellow and two purple Spirit Rings appeared beneath his feet, and the Sea God emerged behind him as well.

The moment the Sea God Spirit appeared, Xue Qinghe, far away in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, abruptly rose from his seat. Behind him, Golden Light faintly radiated, and an Angel with six wings on its back flickered in and out of sight.

That feeling had come again—Bofeng! Bofeng!

What secrets were you hiding?

"Ah—"

"Brother Feng, why are you making such a commotion in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Hearing the disturbance, Xiao Bai stumbled out with unfocused eyes. The instant she saw Bofeng release the Sea God Spirit, she immediately became alert.

Tang Xiao looked at that Sea God's Phantom. When he was young, he and Tang Hao had once gone to Sea God Island to deliver a letter to their grandfather.

He had met the Sea God Douluo, Bo Saixi.

The Sea God's Phantom before him was Bofeng's first Spirit.

Immediately afterward, Bofeng withdrew the Sea God Spirit. Xiao Bai came to his side and looked at Tang Xiao across from them.

"Haven't we met somewhere before?"

As the guardian Spirit Beast of Sea God Island, Xiao Bai remembered when Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had come to Sea God Island to deliver that letter.

Everyone had their youthful, reckless days. As disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, which had been the Number One Sect Under Heaven at the time, they naturally thought highly of themselves.

Back then, they had clashed with the Soul Masters of Sea God Island. The result was...

They had been thoroughly defeated. Fortunately, Tang Chen personally vouched for them, allowing the two brothers to leave unharmed.

"Oh!" Xiao Bai said. "I remember now. When you were young, you got into a dispute with the Island Guardian Spirit Masters of Sea God Island, and then you were defeated."

Tang Xiao's face reddened. Did she really need to drag up such ancient history and beat him over the head with it?

"Who are you?" Tang Xiao asked Xiao Bai in confusion.

"Me?"

Xiao Bai smiled faintly. "I am the guardian divine beast of Sea God Island: the Demon Soul Great White Shark."
