Yeah, I was Haotian Mianxia. What Titled Douluo had I not fought?
The young man before him was merely about to become his next defeated subordinate!
"Kid, seeing as you're still young, let Xiao Wu go, and we'll leave it at that."
Tang Hao looked arrogant. "Otherwise, weigh it carefully yourself. If we fight, I won't be holding back."
He was a famous senior expert. There was no way he should be afraid of him!
His meaning was obvious. If he struck too heavily later, the lighter outcome would be having his cultivation crippled; the worse outcome would be death on the spot!
Tang Hao's confidence made Tang San and Ning Rongrong behind him unconsciously straighten their backs.
However, Xue Tianyu merely sneered. "Fine. If you want to fight, then fight!"
Inside a hotel room at Skywater Academy.
Snow Empress looked at the arrogant Tang Hao with some concern. "That's a Titled Douluo..."
"It's fine." Ice Empress extended her slender jade hand and hooked it around Snow Empress's snow-white arm, pressing her delicate body close. "Compared to him, Tianyu is stronger."
"I know..." Snow Empress sighed. "I'm just worried that Tianyu doesn't have enough combat experience."
"He's so well-behaved and kind. He's hardly ever fought."
Worry flickered in Snow Empress's blue eyes, while the rise and fall of her chest followed her nervous emotions.
"That's true..."
Ice Empress glanced at Snow Empress's abundant peaks, then lowered her head to look at her own flat chest and let out a long sigh.
Then she withdrew her gaze and lowered her head in thought.
Xue Tianyu's raw strength was indeed powerful now, but what he lacked was combat experience.
This Clear Sky Douluo could clearly serve as Xue Tianyu's stepping stone.
"Then let Tianyu fight him. We'll be ready to support Tianyu at any time."
Ice Empress had thought it through clearly. Even if Xue Tianyu could not win in this process, it would still count as accumulating combat experience.
Once he fell into a disadvantage, Ice Empress felt that they could simply step in and take over the battle.
Snow Empress nodded. Ice Empress's thoughts were exactly the same as hers.
They could not act directly now. Otherwise, Xue Tianyu's combat ability would not be tempered, and he would forever end up in the awkward situation of possessing great strength but being unable to use it properly.
They could protect Xue Tianyu while he was by their side now, but what if Xue Tianyu encountered an even stronger opponent while alone in the future?
Snow Empress narrowed her eyes, and a spinning ice flower appeared in her other hand.
"For now, let's watch Tianyu's performance."
"When necessary, I'll make a move."
"No one can hurt Tianyu, including that Bibi Dong. If necessary, I'll help Tianyu vent his anger and let her know the consequences of abandoning her child!"
Ice Empress linked her arm through Snow Empress's. "And me!"
The two women looked out the window, ready to act at any time.
Just as Tang Hao and Xue Tianyu faced off, light footsteps sounded from nearby.
It was already late at night. Logically, there should not have been many people around.
Even though Ning Rongrong's earlier shout had drawn many townspeople to watch, most of them had already left.
The entire street gradually became quiet in the deep night.
That made the footsteps especially distinct.
Moreover, it was clear that they belonged to a girl.
"Tianyu?"
Her voice arrived before she did.
Xue Tianyu froze. That was Qian Renxue's voice.
Why was she here?
Before he could figure it out, Qian Renxue had already turned in from the street corner.
She wore a long golden palace gown, one she had clearly changed into at Spirit Hall. After all, the previous one had been stained with Yu Xiaogang's filthy blood.
The gown was a one-piece garment, woven entirely from golden threads, without excessive decorative patterns.
It made Qian Renxue look simple yet elegant, while its golden standing collar protected her snow-white, slender neck.
Her smooth, delicate arms extended from her sleeves. The fullness of her chest and the perfectly proportioned curves of her figure gave her an exceptional beauty.
Her exquisite facial features appeared even more defined beneath her golden hair.
The moment she appeared, she stunned everyone.
The few remaining townspeople who were still watching were instantly drawn to Qian Renxue's beautiful face and stunning figure.
"Eight red and one gold?"
The moment Qian Renxue entered, she saw the golden glow of the Soul Ring shining behind Xue Tianyu.
That golden color made even the red Soul Rings seem to lose their brilliance.
Even Qian Renxue herself had never seen a golden Soul Ring before.
Xue Tianyu VS Tang Hao! Ice Burst! Ice Empress Was Stunned!
Qian Renxue glanced at Oscar, who stood to one side holding his severed arm with a despondent expression, then looked at Dai Mubai, who was curled up on the ground and trembling nonstop. She roughly understood what had happened.
She walked past Zhu Zhuqing, who was still standing there in a daze, passed Tang San and Ning Rongrong from the side, and arrived beside Xue Tianyu.
"It's so late. Why did you come?"
Xue Tianyu asked curiously.
At this hour, it was not the usual time for people to be out and about.
"I suddenly wanted to see you." Qian Renxue smiled brightly and stood very close to him.
When she had been teaching Yu Xiaogang a lesson at Spirit Hall earlier, she had constantly felt uneasy.
Now, smelling Xue Tianyu's scent, her heart felt very calm.
It was as though only by Xue Tianyu's side could she feel this at ease.
She did not know why, but perhaps the world was simply this miraculous.
Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Xue Tianyu could not help but feel heartache.
He reached out and stroked Qian Renxue's head.
His own sister—if no one else spoiled her, then he would!
Qian Renxue enjoyed it immensely. She closed her eyes and lightly pressed her head against his hand, looking exceptionally comfortable.
"Who is he?" Having recovered her mood somewhat, Qian Renxue finally noticed the middle-aged man standing opposite Xue Tianyu.
The man held a massive hammer, and his aura seemed quite powerful as well.
"Him?" Xue Tianyu chuckled. "Clear Sky Douluo."
"Clear Sky Douluo?"
Qian Renxue tilted her head, thinking of someone.
"Tang Hao?"
She was very familiar with that name.
Because she had been told that Tang Hao was the one who had killed her father, Qian Xunji.
"That's right. Him. Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."
Qian Renxue's breathing halted.
She had not expected that she had merely come looking for Xue Tianyu on a whim, only to encounter someone who had vanished from the entire continent!
More importantly, this person was the one who had killed Qian Jixun back then!
Tang Hao!
"Tang Hao, the man who killed my father." Qian Renxue's eyes immediately reddened.
Back then, even if she did not have Bibi Dong's love, she had at least had her father.
Qian Xunji had treated her well.
So even though she lacked a mother's love, Qian Renxue could still feel a father's love.
Thus, as a child, Qian Renxue had relied heavily on Qian Xunji. After all, he was one of the few sources of warmth she had.
She treasured that warmth deeply.
But one day, Qian Renxue's warmth was gone.
Qian Xunji became a cold corpse.
From that moment onward, Qian Renxue felt as though her sky had collapsed.
And the culprit behind all of this was Tang Hao!
Clear Sky Douluo!
He had killed Qian Xunji!
He had killed her only source of warmth!
Countless days and nights, she had cultivated desperately, fantasizing about the day she would kill Tang Hao!
"Tianyu, this person is very important to me. I want to kill him myself, tear him apart. He is my enemy, the man who killed my father." Qian Renxue turned to look at Xue Tianyu.
Xue Tianyu knew the truth behind it. He comfortingly stroked Qian Renxue's head. "Is that so? Then in the future, you can take revenge with your own hands."
"But the person who killed Qian Xunji was not him."
Qian Renxue looked at Xue Tianyu in surprise.
For all these years, she had believed Tang Hao killed Qian Xunji, causing her last bit of tenderness to be lost.
The enemy she had hated for so many years was now being revealed as someone else?
Xue Tianyu looked at Qian Renxue's peerlessly beautiful face, which resembled his own somewhat, and gentleness appeared in his eyes. "Sis... cough, cough... But if you want to kill him yourself, that's not impossible. I can help you."
Qian Renxue paused slightly, a complicated expression appearing on her beautiful face. "For all these years, through countless days and nights, I've wanted to kill him with my own hands. I cultivated tirelessly for that purpose."
"Killing him is my obsession. I want to accomplish it myself. Once I'm strong enough, I'll make him repay the debt with my own blade, cut by cut."
"Tianyu, this has nothing to do with you. I have practiced the sword for many years, all so that I can personally avenge this hatred."
Xue Tianyu's expression became complicated. Then he pulled Qian Renxue behind him. "I understand. Wait behind me first. Someone is about to lose his patience."
The moment Xue Tianyu finished speaking, a tyrannical wave of Soul Power instantly pressed down on them.
"Are you done talking?" Tang Hao frowned and took a step forward. "It's time to hand over Xiao Wu."
Xue Tianyu pointed the Ice God Spear at Tang Hao. "I said it already. Let me see your strength."
In an instant, Tang Hao smiled.
"You're the first person who has dared to say something so arrogant!"
After saying that, the Soul Power around Tang Hao immediately surged into the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Xue Tianyu's eyes narrowed. This was his first formal battle against a Titled Douluo.
If he could not even defeat Tang Hao, how could he speak of taking revenge on Bibi Dong?
Sensing the enormous power gathering within Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, Xue Tianyu's martial soul finally appeared behind him.
Spirit of Ice and Snow!
At that instant, the temperature within a hundred-mile radius dropped by at least a dozen degrees!
