"You don't know your own limits."
Dai Lingfeng showed Wang Dong no indulgence and immediately unleashed his strongest attack skill,
the skill of his hundred-thousand-year Right Arm Soul Bone,
Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain!
He pounced like a ferocious tiger, his right arm transforming completely into a tiger's paw. Its five dagger-sharp claws seemed to slice through the air itself.
As everyone knew, cats were creatures easily thrown into a stress response.
Wang Dong had ambushed Dai Lingfeng,
so wasn't it perfectly reasonable for Dai Lingfeng to have a stress response?
"Roar!"
A distinct tiger's roar rang out from Dai Lingfeng's throat.
Wang Dong'er had never faced a large beast alone before,
and the roar alone made her legs go weak.
Xu Jiujiu, Vina, and Long Aotian all felt tremendous pressure from the attack.
Whoosh!
Though Dai Lingfeng had struck later, he arrived first, pouncing in front of Wang Dong and bringing his right palm down hard.
Old Wu's Earth-Shaking Palm!
Bang!
Wang Dong's pupils contracted sharply. The instant her wings touched Dai Lingfeng's tiger paw, they shattered like glass!
It was like an egg striking a rock,
utterly unable to withstand a single blow!
Wang Dong's mind went blank.
How could this be?
How could her Wing Guillotine be as fragile as glass, unable to withstand a single blow?
How could Dai Lingfeng be so strong?
Boom!!!!!
Dai Lingfeng's attack did not land on Wang Dong, but smashed into the ground.
It immediately blasted a deep crater in the ground.
The fierce wind raised by the attack's aftershock alone sent Wang Dong flying into a wall.
"Wah!"
Wang Dong spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although she had not been struck directly, the shattering of her Martial Soul had also caused her serious injuries.
"Ah!"
Vina cried out in alarm and immediately summoned her Snow Lotus Martial Soul to heal Wang Dong.
Long Aotian, meanwhile, watched Dai Linfeng with a grave expression.
That attack had been far too powerful.
Even he could never have withstood it.
But Long Aotian refused to concede.
Dai Lingfeng's attack had drawn on the power of a Soul Bone, not his own strength.
If he had that Soul Bone too, he could have done even better!
He'd only just awakened his Martial Soul, and he already had such an old Soul Bone. These children of great families never lacked cultivation resources.
If I want to compete with them, I have to work even harder.
Long Aotian thought to himself.
That Soul Bone was the gap between him and Dai Lingfeng.
A family could support its younger generation fully, without any reservations.
A sect could not.
If he wanted a Soul Bone, he had to rely on his own opportunities and work hard to earn the sect's approval.
With a gap in talent between them and a gap at the starting line as well, he could only work harder if he wanted to catch up to Dai Lingfeng.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The next moment, several figures descended into the courtyard.
Dai Hao, Xu Jiawei, Mu En, Tang Hao, Du Busi, and the other powerhouses had all arrived.
The commotion here had been considerable,
and with the younger members of their families all present, everyone had naturally rushed over at the first sign of trouble.
"What happened?"
"Xiao Dong?!"
When Tang Hao saw the badly injured Wang Dong, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he breathed like a snorting bull. His presence grew violent and dangerous.
Who dared hurt his granddaughter?
Who was it?
They had a way to die!
"Xiao Dong!"
"Who was it? Who did this?!"
Niu Tian and Tai Tan's eyes also turned bloodshot, and both breathed like snorting bulls.
Wang Dong was that lord's daughter!
If anything at all happened to her,
no one present could bear the consequences!
"Her Martial Soul was shattered, and she suffered a backlash. She'll be fine after some recuperation."
The Medicine Immortal Douluo examined Wang Dong's condition and found nothing serious.
Dai Lingfeng's attack had been aimed at defeating her,
not killing her.
So the only harm Wang Dong had suffered was the backlash from her shattered Martial Soul and the impact of hitting the wall.
"Her Martial Soul was shattered?"
Tang Hao frowned, his presence seeming to gather like thunder before a storm.
Someone had attacked Wang Dong and shattered her Martial Soul?
He was furious right now!
Xuan Zi, Niu Tian, Tai Tan, and the others who knew how terrifying Tang Hao was fell as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Mu En and Du Busi also fell gravely silent.
Although they had never met Tang Hao,
his terrifying cultivation as a level 99 Limit Douluo was no fake.
And he was a Limit Douluo at his peak,
with fighting power far exceeding Mu En's.
A Limit Douluo's wrath was no different from a natural disaster.
More terrifying still, Tang Hao was not alone.
He was not the Clear Sky Sect's only Limit Douluo.
There was also Niu Tian, another Limit Douluo, as well as Tai Tan, a level 98 Super Douluo. It was terrifying indeed!
"Grandpa, Dai Lingfeng did it! You have to stand up for me!"
After being treated by the Medicine Immortal Douluo, Wang Dong was basically fine. The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was complain to Tang Hao.
Hearing her words,
Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei both felt their hearts skip a beat.
Both men knew something about Tang Hao, and he was not known for his good temper.
How had Dai Lingfeng managed to offend Wang Dong?
"Dai Lingfeng!!!"
Fury surged through Tang Hao, and he immediately drew his Clear Sky Hammer.
Daring to hurt his granddaughter-he truly had a way to die!
Wait,
Dai Lingfeng?
Once he realized who Wang Dong was talking about, his anger abruptly turned awkward.
This...
Wasn't this the flood washing into the Dragon King's temple, family failing to recognize family?
"Xiao Dong, could there be a misunderstanding here?"
Tang Hao's attitude changed so quickly
that the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, who had been about to get angry alongside him, were left looking like fools.
"Hmph, Grandpa!"
Wang Dong felt deeply wronged and turned her head away, her eyes red.
Damn Dai Lingfeng.
She had no idea what love potion he had given Grandpa, but even after she had been injured, Grandpa would not help her get even.
"Lingfeng, tell me what happened."
Helpless, Tang Hao could only ask Dai Lingfeng, putting away the Clear Sky Hammer as well.
Dai Lingfeng was a sensible child.
He surely would not act recklessly. There had to be a misunderstanding, and since Wang Dong was unwilling to speak, he would ask Dai Lingfeng.
"Teacher, she ambushed me with a Soul Skill. I only counterattacked in self-defense."
Dai Lingfeng answered truthfully.
"I see..."
Tang Hao nodded.
Just as I thought.
Dai Lingfeng was a sensible child who knew his limits.
It seemed Dai Lingfeng had already held back. Otherwise, Wang Dong would not have suffered only a shattered Martial Soul and no other injuries.
"Why did you ambush Lingfeng?"
Tang Hao turned back and demanded an answer from Wang Dong.
This little girl!
He had placed great hopes on Wang Dong, hoping she could slowly win Dai Lingfeng over, but Wang Dong had disappointed him far too much!
"Hmph."
Wang Dong knew she was in the wrong, but she was unwilling to bow her head. With so many people present, she had no way to save face.
She would rather die than bow her head and admit she was wrong.
"Apologize!"
"Apologize to Lingfeng!"
One look at Wang Dong's reaction was enough for Tang Hao to understand what had happened.
He knew his own family.
With Wang Dong's willful temperament, she must have been the one to start trouble and ambush Dai Lingfeng, only to lose the rice used to lure the chicken and have her Martial Soul shattered instead.
She had to apologize.
He had to give his disciple an explanation!
