Who knew whether this was a test from Tang Hao?
He might have barely agreed before Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer at him the next moment.
"What do you want?"
Tang Hao was furious again.
But he still held himself back.
With things as they stood, he had no choice but to give ground and submit.
"All of the Clear Sky Sect's Unique Techniques!"
Dai Mubai opened with a demand as ravenous as a lion opening its jaws.
"Impossible!"
Tang Hao refused without even thinking.
The Clear Sky Sect's Unique Techniques were the sect's legacy. As an outcast of the Clear Sky Sect, he had no right to teach them to anyone else.
Especially an outsider.
"In that case, let's fight to the death!"
"Once I kill you, I can still get what I want."
Dai Mubai's expression changed at once, abandoning any pretense of negotiation.
With a thought, an aura of slaughter spread around him. His Indestructible Vajra True Body manifested, a dark golden light enveloping his entire body.
As that dark golden light appeared, cracks like a spiderweb spread across the huge rock beneath Dai Mubai's feet.
At that moment, he weighed a thousand jin.
He was a genuine humanoid soul beast.
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply at the sight.
Sure enough, this brat, just like him, had not used his full strength in their earlier battle.
He still had a trump card.
"The Clear Sky Secret Technique is a secret of our Clear Sky Sect, never passed on to outsiders. There is absolutely no way I can teach it to you unless you join the Clear Sky Sect."
"Then I can teach you all of the Clear Sky Sect's Unique Techniques."
"Not only that, I can also do everything in my power to protect you in the future and safeguard your growth."
Tang Hao had found inspiration in desperation, hastily coming up with a solution that offered the best of both worlds.
Moreover, as he saw it, this would turn an enemy into one of their own. With such a monstrous talent on his side in the future, would taking revenge on Spirit Hall not be easy?
"Tang Hao, are you an idiot?"
"For me to want your paltry Clear Sky Sect techniques is an honor for your sect."
"And you want me to become a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect? What right does a sect full of cowards have to take this young master as a disciple?"
"Just tell me whether you agree."
"If you don't decide within ten seconds, we fight to the death."
Dai Mubai's words remained full of mockery, and he tore into the Clear Sky Sect as though it were worth nothing.
He had figured it out: although Tang Hao still had the strength to fight, he did not dare.
Nor did Tang Hao know what sort of profound state he himself was in.
At a time like this, it came down to who had more patience.
Tang Hao fell silent.
This brat's words were grating and offensive, but the problem was that he did not dare gamble.
Whether for his own sake or his son's.
He did not dare gamble!
"I can agree, but you must also promise me that today's matter ends here, and you won't target my son."
In the end, Tang Hao chose to submit.
"Agreed!"
Dai Mubai refused no further.
Things had already reached Tang Hao's limit. If he kept pushing, Tang Hao might turn on him and fight for his life.
Then Tang Hao's desperate struggle might instead make him stronger.
Neither of them swore a Martial Soul Oath.
The reason was simple: how could Tang Hao swallow this humiliation?
He intended to wait until his injuries healed, then show this brat what it meant to be the Clear Sky Douluo.
Dai Mubai was no different.
Today, under these circumstances, he could not kill Tang Hao.
But that did not mean he would let the matter rest.
Tang Hao had to die!
As for how he would die, and at whose hands, that was a very good question.
"Remember what you promised me!"
After taking a book from his Storage Soul Tool and tossing it to Dai Mubai, Tang Hao did not forget to issue a threat before leaving.
"Threatening me? We'll see who dies first."
Looking in the direction Tang Hao had left, Dai Mubai spoke softly as a ball of spiritual light appeared in his hand.
This was one of his soul bone skills, Lock-On.
Once he locked onto an enemy, it would leave a permanent mark. Only if the other party's spiritual power surpassed his would they have a chance to discover it and shake off the Lock-On.
Otherwise, no matter where they hid, he would be able to find them.
Of course, certain special places could still conceal them. Places such as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Slaughter City, and the Angel Temple could block Lock-On.
Only after confirming that Tang Hao had left did Dai Mubai return to Shrek Academy.
He forced himself to make it back to the villa where he lived.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was meditating and cultivating, noticed the disturbance and hurried to check.
"You... what happened to you...?"
Seeing Dai Mubai's unnatural complexion, Zhu Zhuqing immediately grew anxious.
"It's nothing. I went out to spar with someone."
That was what he said aloud, but he used his spiritual power to transmit his voice to Zhu Zhuqing, telling her to help him into the underground chamber.
At that moment, he did not have the slightest bit of strength left.
He had only managed to walk this far by forcing himself on.
The power of Tang Hao's Ring Detonation was indeed astonishing, but what he had found hardest to withstand was the invasion and entanglement of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Although Zhu Zhuqing did not know what had happened, she immediately hurried to Dai Mubai's side.
Once inside the underground chamber, Dai Mubai could hold on no longer. He spat out a mouthful of golden blood, and his aura immediately weakened.
His face was as pale as paper.
Ultimately, he was still only a soul emperor. Although his cultivation had reached level 70, he had yet to obtain his Seventh Soul Ring. Being able to fight Tang Hao to this point after Ring Detonation was already quite impressive.
Dai Mubai had thought Tang Hao's severe injuries offered a good opportunity to bully him.
He had never expected his opponent to cheat.
Who could he even appeal to over that?
"Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai... you... don't scare me..."
At the sight, Zhu Zhuqing immediately panicked.
After a flurry of frantic movements, she calmed down a little and began thinking about what she could do in their current situation.
"The mysterious power. Right, that mysterious power!"
This was the only solution Zhu Zhuqing could think of at that moment.
Her instincts told her that the power entwined around her martial soul could help Dai Mubai.
She then prepared to mobilize it.
"I'm fine!"
"I only spat out some impurities to temper my body better, that's all."
Just then, Dai Mubai interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's actions.
He was not lying. Through today's battle, he had used the Clear Sky Hammer to temper his body, taking his Indestructible Vajra Body a step further.
His Indestructible Vajra would originally have needed half a year to reach full mastery. With the tempering from this battle, he could now complete the process and achieve full mastery in less than two months.
That was a considerable gain in its own right.
"For the next few days, focus on cultivating and bring your surging soul power under control. Once I come out of seclusion, I'll take you to obtain a soul ring."
Dai Mubai closed his eyes, then circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and began cultivating.
With Zhu Zhuqing watching over him now, he could cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind.
Black Panther would return in a few more days. Then, even if Tang Hao came back, he would have another measure of security.
