Facing Tang Hao Head-On, Zirconium-Niobium Alloy (Zr-Nb)
Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected Flender's attitude to be so tough.
He thought Flender would be on his side.
After all, Flender had never argued with Yu Xiaogang like this before.
Yu Xiaogang did it for his disciple, and so did Flender.
He has a temper too.
If he were an ordinary student, Flender might not have done that.
But Qin Yun is extraordinary.
First, Qin Yun's exceptional talent is evident to everyone; he is destined to become Titled Douluo.
Secondly, Qin Yun has already secured the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Yu Xiaogang had no way out.
His pride prevented him from saying anything to back down.
He could only force himself to say, "In that case, Flender, I'll take Tang San away tomorrow morning."
Actually, he hadn't figured it out either. If they really left Shrek, where would they go?
Flender turned his head.
"Do as you please!"
--
However, before Yu Xiaogang could leave with Tang San...
Tang Hao arrived.
The next morning, a light mist was rising.
A disheveled, weathered, and dusty figure stood before the gates of the Shrek Academy.
His clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled, and his breathing was weak and unsteady.
His bones were faintly visible with unhealed cracks from his injuries; this was Tang Hao, who had been recuperating for many days and traveling day and night to get here.
His gaze pierced through the layers of thin mist.
At first glance, I spotted two figures walking side by side on the playground— Qin Yun and Ning Rongrong.
Gazing at that tall, elegant, and extraordinary young man's figure.
All sorts of images from before flooded Tang Hao's mind.
It's him!
It was all his doing!
Tang Hao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, a murderous intent surging within them.
The remaining Soul Power around him surged violently, and a powerful and terrifying pressure suddenly swept across the entire training ground, instantly dispersing the morning mist.
"Kid! It really was you!"
Tang Hao roared in a deep, hoarse voice, filled with boundless, overwhelming rage.
"Last time, with Sword Douluo helping you, I couldn't do anything to you!"
"Now that you are all alone here, let's see who can protect you!"
"Give me back Ah Yin!!"
A furious roar echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
Even though Tang Hao was severely injured, his origin was damaged, and his Soul Power was incomplete, his foundation Titled Douluo was still there.
At this critical moment, Qin Yun's expression hardened, showing no sign of panic.
He immediately stepped to the side, firmly protecting Ning Rongrong behind him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qin Yun offered a soft, comforting word.
His calm and resolute tone instantly soothed the panic in Ning Rongrong's heart.
The next second, five dazzling Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.
Qin Yun guessed that he might encounter Tang Hao.
Even when facing Titled Douluo in a severely injured state, Qin Yun still felt a suffocating sense of oppression.
"You ignorant fool, relying on the protection of others, you stole my beloved!"
"Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
Enraged, Tang Hao gave Qin Yun no chance to explain himself and suddenly burst forth with his burly body.
Carrying immense force, his fists, imbued with violent Soul Power, hurtled straight at Qin Yun's face.
He did not summon the Clear Sky Hammer.
It's not that they're unwilling, but that they're unable.
At this moment, he was still recovering from serious injuries. His essence was broken and his bones were damaged. If he forcibly activated the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, it would inevitably tear his injuries and overdraw his foundation, causing irreversible and permanent damage, and even causing him to completely fall from the title realm.
Even with only his physical strength and remaining Soul Power, his attack power was still terrifyingly powerful.
In the blink of an eye.
Qin Yun reacted with lightning speed, activating his Martial Soul ability in an instant.
The air in front of him instantly froze, and a silvery-white metallic luster suddenly bloomed. A dense, hard, and well-textured Zirconium-Niobium Alloy barrier instantly formed, standing firmly in front of him, solid and flawless, with a cold and heavy texture.
Zirconium-Niobium Alloy are top-tier nuclear reaction coating materials that are resistant to high temperatures, impacts, and fission.
Its hardness and impact resistance far exceed those of any metal known in the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, it has a robust structure and exceptional resilience.
"Boom!!"
The first punch landed heavily, unleashing a deafening explosion of violent Soul Power, with shockwaves sweeping in all directions.
Yet, not a single crack appeared in the sturdy alloy barrier.
It was simply knocked back by the impact.
Tang Hao's face was filled with disbelief, his heart filled with rage and horror.
Even though he is severely injured, he still retains the basic strength of Titled Douluo.
An ordinary Soul Douluo could be instantly crushed by a full-force attack, but the defense constructed by a mere level 50 Soul King actually withstood his full-force punch!
Unconvinced, Tang Hao roared in anger.
The second punch followed immediately, increasing in force by three points, and slammed hard into the same spot on the barrier.
"Bang--!"
The deafening roar sent shockwaves sweeping across the entire playground.
The Zirconium-Niobium Alloy barrier remains as solid as a mountain, and its surface is as smooth as ever.
Despite the ferocious onslaught of the titled Soul Power, it remained impossible to shatter it.
"Strange! What exactly is this kid's Martial Soul?!"
Tang Hao roared angrily, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.
"It's utterly unbelievable that a mere Soul King's defense could withstand the power of a titled being!"
"We cannot let it grow unchecked, or the consequences will be dire."
Qin Yun behind the barrier, his expression calm, his tone somewhat cold.
"Tang Hao, your injuries are severe. Forcing yourself to fight will only deplete your own resources."
"I advise you to stop here, lest you completely ruin your cultivation and fall below Level 90."
"Stop?!" Tang Hao laughed in fury, his eyes filled with even greater killing intent.
"Even if I have to use up all my remaining strength, I will kill you here today!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Tang Hao's two punches missed, the old force had just dissipated and the new force had not yet been generated.
Qin Yun's wrists flew,
A flash of cold light appeared in his palm, and two Uranium Crystal containing extreme fission energy instantly flew out of his hand, slicing through the sky and heading straight for Tang Hao!
Tang Hao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and extreme apprehension instantly welled up in his eyes.
He was deeply impressed by the two small crystals.
The terrifying source of his previous severe injury and shattered bones was precisely this object!
Facing the Uranium Crystal at such close range, a tremendous storm surged through his heart.
At the same time, he shouted sternly.
"Kid, are you crazy! Releasing this kind of power at such close range will affect you too!"
In fact, Tang Hao immediately launched a close-range attack upon seeing Qin Yun because he was wary of Qin Yun's Uranium Crystal killing move.
He knew that this thing was terrifying and had a wide range of effects, and that only close-quarters combat could limit its power and eliminate the threat of a distant explosion.
But he never expected that Qin Yun would act so decisively and ruthlessly, completely disregarding the risk of close-range backlash, and daring to use such a forbidden ability directly within arm's reach.
This desperate fighting style thoroughly instilled fear in him.
In that life-or-death moment, Tang Hao dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
He endured the excruciating pain of his internal injuries tearing apart and unleashed all the remaining Soul Power he possessed.
Layer upon layer of Soul Power coalesced into a thick barrier, firmly blocking in front of him, intending to withstand this fatal blow.
But before he could settle down...
The deafening explosion that shook the entire Shrek Academy had already resounded!
