Xue Tianyu Battles Tang Hao! Snow Empress Praises Tianyu for Growing Up

Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Xue Tianyu with wary eyes.

The power of White Tiger's hammer strike had been neutralized the instant it was frozen. Now that he had also suffered damage from the Ice Blast Technique, Tang Hao could hardly believe that he had been the first to be injured when facing Xue Tianyu.

"Stand that far away, and I'll just toy you to death," Xue Tianyu said confidently.

Most Ice Element soul skills inherently dealt damage over a wide area. If one was frozen, they would at the very least suffer an Ice Blast Technique.

Xiao Wu's judgment back then had actually been accurate. When facing someone like Xue Tianyu, who possessed wide-area attack soul skills, close combat was often their weakness.

Unfortunately.

Xue Tianyu had no such weakness.

Of course, only Xiao Wu knew that.

Tang Hao took a deep breath. "If that's the case, then I'll fight you up close and test our strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, black light emerged from his Clear Sky Hammer.

"Black Tortoise Hammer!"

As Tang Hao wielded the black Clear Sky Hammer, a layer of black tortoise shell armor appeared around his body.

Xue Tianyu narrowed his eyes.

This shell might have rather formidable defense.

With that thought, he kicked the Ice God Spear, then rotated both hands in opposite directions. Ice Blades shot from the spear tip one after another, flying toward Tang Hao.

Tang Hao withstood the Ice Blades with the tortoise shell armor on his body and charged before Xue Tianyu, bringing down a massive hammer blow upon him.

The Clear Sky Hammer specialized in strength, after all, and Xue Tianyu had no intention of taking this attack head-on.

Even if the Ice God Spear itself was unafraid, he did not want to give Tang Hao even the slightest opportunity. Xue Tianyu's eighth soul ring slowly lit up.

A sphere of icy blue light appeared in Xue Tianyu's hand.

Watching the Clear Sky Hammer draw ever closer, Xue Tianyu slammed the sphere of light into his own chest.

"Ice Firmness!"

Ice Armor formed entirely from blue ice covered Xue Tianyu from head to toe.

The armor was engraved with exquisitely intricate patterns. The instant it appeared, the Clear Sky Hammer arrived.

Xue Tianyu calmly allowed the Clear Sky Hammer to strike the armor.

"Buzz!"

The armor trembled, and the Clear Sky Hammer was directly knocked away!

The web of Tang Hao's hand holding the Clear Sky Hammer was split open by the force of the rebound.

He stared dumbfoundedly at the cool-looking armor on Xue Tianyu's body. "What kind of armor is this? How can it be so hard?"

Xue Tianyu smiled faintly and thrust the Ice God Spear in his hand at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao could only hastily and awkwardly defend himself.

"Since you chose close combat, then practice some moves with me." A sharp gleam flashed in Xue Tianyu's eyes as the spear in his hand launched into a continuous barrage of attacks.

Tang Hao sweated profusely as he used his hammer to block them.

This wasn't right. The script was completely wrong.

Shouldn't my Clear Sky Hammer have settled everything with one blow?

The Clear Sky Hammer was meant to overwhelm all techniques with sheer strength.

Yet now, he had been forced into this kind of exchange, leaving Tang Hao somewhat at a loss.

More importantly, it was as though every one of Xue Tianyu's ice-element soul skills had been specifically designed to counter Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

From beginning to end, Tang Hao had been suppressed and beaten back.

Tang Hao was numb.

Even Tang San could see the shock in his eyes.

"Come on!"

Tang San hurriedly cheered for his father. "Whether we can save Xiao Wu depends entirely on you!"

He clenched his fists nervously.

He had nearly fallen into despair, but Tang Hao's appearance now carried all his hopes.

His father could not lose.

Ning Rongrong also knew that if Tang Hao lost, they had no idea how Xue Tianyu would treat them. So she shouted with all her might as well, "Uncle Tang Hao, don't lose!"

In contrast, Oscar looked completely indifferent.

Whether Tang Hao won or lost was not important to him. He had already lost so badly tonight that he had gone numb.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, however, were filled with shock. This was Tang Hao.

The famous Clear Sky Douluo!

And yet Xue Tianyu was suppressing him throughout the entire fight with nothing but a spear.

"No way... so he really is this strong."

Besides Zhu Zhuqing, Qian Renxue was also deeply surprised.

She knew Xue Tianyu was strong, but she had never had a comparison to gauge exactly how strong he was.

Well, now she did.

At the very least, Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo who had killed her father, could not defeat Xue Tianyu.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue secretly glanced at Xue Tianyu, her heart filled with peace and comfort.

As long as Xue Tianyu was by her side, those chaotic thoughts and emotions would disappear.

"Pfft!"

After Xue Tianyu struck his chest with the butt of his spear, Tang Hao staggered back a step in pain and spat out blood again.

"So young, yet so strong!"

Tang Hao panted heavily. He had never imagined that one day, he would be utterly beaten by someone from the younger generation.

This was absurd.

"What?" Xue Tianyu laughed. "You're done already?"

"Hmph, there isn't enough room to fight here. You only have the advantage because of the terrain." Tang Hao adjusted his breathing for a while and snorted coldly.

"Making excuses?" Xue Tianyu pointed at the sky. "Then let's fight in the air. We'll keep fighting today until you admit defeat!"

"Then let's go!"

Tang Hao glanced at Tang San.

He felt that once they were in the sky, without anything tying his hands, he would surely be able to turn the tables on Xue Tianyu!

However, he had forgotten that the ground restricted Xue Tianyu just as much.

Inside the hotel room.

"That man does have some skill." Snow Empress watched the battle between Xue Tianyu and Tang Hao. "That hammer is rather interesting. Its power is quite strong."

Though Snow Empress said this, her eyes were full of Xue Tianyu.

"Heh heh, I know what you want to say." Ice Empress rolled her eyes at Snow Empress. "You just want to say that our Tianyu is stronger than him, don't you?"

"You can praise him directly. There's no need to go through the motions." Ice Empress teasingly poked Snow Empress's slender waist, a mischievous smile appearing on her gorgeous face.

Ice Empress had already followed the latest trends and cut away part of her turquoise-blue dress.

The lines of her toned abdomen were especially distinct against her smooth, tender skin.

Her skirt, which had originally reached her ankles, had been trimmed up to her thighs.

Her fair, slender legs were exposed just like that. Those evenly proportioned, delicate legs were breathtakingly beautiful.

Yet whenever she went out shopping, Xue Tianyu would insist that she change into long pants.

Snow Empress did not enjoy human-world culture as much as Ice Empress did, and she still wore a long icy blue dress.

Though her figure was voluptuous and curvaceous, everything was kept covered.

Snow Empress's expression was cold whenever she looked at anyone else.

She was like an aloof goddess who kept strangers at arm's length.

Even the girls from Skywater Academy felt that Ice Aunt was easier to get along with.

However, they all envied Snow Empress's lush yet slender figure.

Hearing Ice Empress's teasing, a faint smile appeared on Snow Empress's face.

"Our Tianyu is younger than everyone else, and stronger than everyone else too."

"We deserve some credit for that as well."

Ice Empress nodded. "We raised him fair and plump."

"I just wonder which girl will fall into his hands next."

Upon hearing those words, Snow Empress suddenly recalled what Xue Tianyu had said to her.

A blush slowly spread across her lovely face.

"Yes, I wonder who will fall into his hands..."
