Qian Renfeng's Shura Demon Sword Martial Soul was suddenly sealed, and even his sea of consciousness was slightly affected.
Unbeknownst to him, his martial soul had switched back to his Angel Martial Soul.
But this time… something had changed.
The angelic wings behind Qian Renfeng began to glow brighter. It was as if they could no longer wait until the battle ended and were eager to evolve into twelve wings at any moment.
The Will to Flee
Tang Hao's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had just witnessed something that shook his very core—this man had two martial souls!
And when he stood up, six red ten-thousand-year spirit rings lit up on his body!
That meant… this man had hunted six 100,000-year spirit beasts?!
"Run!"
That was the only thought left in Tang Hao's mind.
This man couldn't be defeated.
Even self-detonating his spirit rings wouldn't guarantee victory now.
"I can die, but Tang San can't."
That was Ah Yin's wish.
Qian Renfeng calmly adapted to using his Angel Martial Soul again. After all, it was the one he used most often.
Seeing Tang Hao fleeing, he didn't panic.
"Run then. The Angel Martial Soul rules the skies. You think you can outfly me?"
Flapping his eight wings in the air, he noticed something—the four newer, smaller wings were starting to grow.
They weren't fully formed yet, but evolution was underway.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Tang Hao's fleeing pace grew slower and slower.
His speed dropped below even that of a Soul Sage.
The backlash of ring detonation was hitting him.
He was only barely holding himself together.
Qian Renfeng didn't need to chase.
There was no need to engage in another fight.
All he had to do was wait—once Tang Hao ran out of spirit power, he would collect his life.
Still… Qian Renfeng could feel something strange below.
Tang Hao was burning his life force now.
Which made sense. Otherwise, he would've collapsed already.
Moments Later – Outside Heaven Dou City
Tang San's anguished voice echoed through a nearby forest.
"Father!"
A cry of deep sorrow—like he'd just lost the only family he had in this world.
Qian Renfeng hovered high above, his Angel Domain active.
A massive sword made of divine energy materialized and plunged downward.
The forest below—500 meters of it—was instantly reduced to ashes.
All that remained was scorched earth, still smoldering from the divine flame.
Qian Renfeng's eighth spirit ring lit up.
A female Angel Guardian formed beside him, born from divine energy.
"Go down and check," he ordered.
"Leave no survivors."
"If anything is alive—kill it. Be it soul beasts, bugs, or even…"
"...crack the eggs too!"
The Angel Guardian, devoid of emotion, obeyed immediately—diving down into the forest.
Moments later, she returned—holding a severed arm, the remnants of a blue outfit still clinging to it.
Qian Renfeng snapped his fingers, summoning a flame of solar fire that engulfed the arm and burned it to nothing.
"That should be enough. Let's go."
Without looking back, he flew off toward Heaven Dou City.
The Angel Guardian followed closely behind.
Their figures soon disappeared beyond the horizon.
Twenty Breaths Later…
The charred ground began to fluctuate.
A glowing, golden Angelic Sword formed in the sky—brimming with solar energy.
Then it slammed down with a thunderous boom.
The already devastated area was blown apart again.
The surface land sank nearly a full meter deeper from the blast.
"Forget people—even microbes would've died twice over in that heat."
Two figures reappeared in the air.
The Angel Guardian gave Qian Renfeng a puzzled look.
"A Super Douluo… being this cautious?"
She had already searched the area once.
The severed arm was proof of death.
"Even a 100,000-year soul beast couldn't survive that."
But Qian Renfeng only now nodded in satisfaction.
"This time, it should be over."
"Forget Tang San. Even I would've died twice in that spot."
He flew off again toward Heaven Dou City.
And not long after… yet another Angelic Sword descended onto the forest.
At the Gates of Shrek Academy
Ning Fengzhi held his nose, frowning as he looked at Flender.
"I'm afraid your academy won't be able to resume normal classes for a while."
"Cleaning the mess at the gates is one thing, but the students—emotionally—they're traumatized."
"I suggest you give them a month off to recover."
Flender nodded in agreement.
Then switched to a worried expression.
"Honestly, a month isn't enough."
"We Shrek Academy will give the students three full months off to rest."
"But what troubles me is that—we've never provoked anyone."
"We've never gone out of our way to offend a Title Douluo."
"Yet this one… this powerhouse..."
"He overwhelmed one of our students without even using a martial soul."
"Then used a domain-like soul skill to severely injure another."
"And then…"
Flender's tone dropped.
"Even Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo, was no match for him!"
He didn't want to say Tang Hao's name.
But this was too serious—and they needed help.
If he didn't explain the whole truth, he feared that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't take it seriously.
Ning Fengzhi's face changed.
He turned to glance at Sword Douluo, his expression stunned.
What shocked him wasn't that Tang Hao had been hiding at Shrek…
It was what Flender described—a man strong enough to fight Tang Hao and win.
That reminded him of one person.
"That man beside Crown Prince Xue Qinghe…"
"Qian Feng."
Only he had the strength to crush Tang Hao in a 1v3 situation!
Ning Fengzhi's tone grew stiff.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will assist Shrek in investigating this."
"But don't get your hopes too high."
"If someone that powerful wants to stay hidden—he won't be easy to find."
"Also, I hope Dean Flender will keep an eye out for Rongrong."
"She and the Shrek Seven Devils were very close. If you see her… please persuade her to come home."
After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, Flender didn't respond.
He just stared past Ning Fengzhi—his eyes wide.
From behind Ning Fengzhi…
A youth in black combat gear slowly approached.
He wore a white clown mask on his face.
