"You've also touched the level 96?" Tang Hao asked.
His attack just now was a full-force strike from a level 95 Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul Title Douluo activating the true form of his Martial Soul. Tang Hao was confident that
this attack
would severely injure a Title Douluo of the same level.
But Yuan Xunlu easily caught it,
meaning that Yuan Xunlu might have already surpassed his level.
Level 96 and level 95 are not just one level apart.
Yuan Xunlu smiled mischievously, a human-like smirk appearing on his dragon face:
"Sorry,
I saw my daughter beat up your son, and
I was in a really good mood,
so I broke through."
"..." Tang Hao.
This was actually half true and half false.
If breaking through to level 96 from level 95 just meant being in a good mood, then Title Douluos might as well not cultivate at all and just laugh all day.
For normal people,
all breakthroughs are the result of accumulating strength over time.
It took Yuan Xunlu two years to go from level 95 to level 96.
Yuan Xunlu knew that
although later generations (Douluo Continent II) would refer to Title Douluos from level 95 to 98 as 'Super Douluos,' he only realized
after truly entering that level that the level 94 to 95 hurdle was actually easier to overcome, but the level 95 to 96 hurdle was the real boundary between 'Super Douluo' and 'Title Douluo,' a hurdle that could truly kill a large number of people. This was why all the enshrined figures in the Spirit Hall were above level 96. A level 95 Title Douluo simply didn't deserve the honor and status of an enshrined figure. Among the active forces on the continent, besides the Spirit Hall, perhaps only Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a level 96 Super Douluo, and Chen Xin was already over seventy when he broke through to level 96. "Level 96 at thirty-nine!" Tang Hao's eyes reddened, and he laughed loudly, "Could it be that Heaven truly wants me, Tang Hao, to sever my thoughts of revenge?" Yuan Xunlu looked at the crazed Tang Hao and found it all amusing. "What's a level 96 being at thirty-nine? Your son became a god at twenty-five. " "I never intended to harm you and your son." Yuan Xunlu clapped his hands, retracting his Martial Soul True Body, not intending to expend any more soul power. "Just like I said before, I just wanted to have a proper talk with you." "You actually have a proper talk?" Tang Hao's eyes were still red as he asked. Back in the Clear Sky Sect, I heard about your arrogant and domineering personality, Qian Xunlu . The phrase 'proper talk' actually exists in your dictionary?! Yuan Xunlu smiled: "I've been teaching these past few years, cultivating my character. However, there are always some people who force me to take action." Tang Hao understood the implication: "You still don't intend to have a proper talk." "Yes." Yuan Xunlu nodded. Yuan Xunlu actually had no plans for his life, especially after he discovered that interfering with Tang San was useless. Many years ago, when Yuan Xunlu heard that Tang Hao and Ah Yin were adventuring across the continent together, he told the Spirit Hall that Ah Yin was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast . No one in the Spirit Hall believed him. He said, "Send a Title Douluo to verify it?" The Spirit Hall replied, "Go to hell! Do you know you've offended the Pope? Who would dare verify it for you? Besides, do you think Title Douluos are all free?" Later, Yuan Xunlu insisted on going, wanting to try and solve the Tang San problem before Tang San was born. Then, the Spirit Hall, unable to withstand the pressure from the Pope's brother, sent a Title Douluo to verify it. Wow! It really was a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. The days that followed were: Tang Hao was constantly on the run, while the Spirit Hall was digging deep. Yuan Xunlu himself participated in many searches. Either they couldn't find her, or things went wrong during the encirclement. The most absurd thing was that during an encirclement, a Title Douluo happened to have diarrhea, and Tang Hao seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement. Can you believe a Title Douluo would suddenly have diarrhea?! Yuan Xunlu was numb. Although he was a transmigrator, his luck wasn't as good as Tang San's; he couldn't kill him. It was then that Yuan Xunlu realized one thing: Tang San truly had the destiny of a protagonist.
Yuan Xunlu resigned himself to his fate, even after Yuan Ling'er came to his side.
In his view, as long as Yuan Ling'er grew up safely, that was enough. As long as Tang San didn't discover her identity, she should be fine. He figured
he could just go through the story, show off on the battlefield near the end, kill a few Title Douluos, and then self-destruct—that would be repaying the Qian family's kindness in raising him all these years. As long as
Yuan Ling'er was alright, that was fine.
But who would have thought that Yuan Ling'er would actually provoke a feud with Tang San?
Can anyone tell me how Yuan Ling'er knew Tang San was in Notting City?
Can anyone tell me why Yuan Ling'er went straight to Tang San without asking anyone else upon entering the school?
There was nothing he could do; his daughter didn't want to talk, and he couldn't very well ask.
But as a father, he had to be responsible for his daughter's future.
Yuan Ling'er had humiliated Tang San and even hit Xiao Wu today; she would definitely face Tang San's retribution in the future!
He could tolerate being a bit pathetic, lying down, or giving up,
but he couldn't bear to see Yuan Ling'er bullied by that bastard Tang San in the future.
Since he'd already offended him, he might as well go all the way and pave the way for Yuan Ling'er's future as her father. "
If I can't kill Tang San, can't I at least kill you, Tang Hao? "
Yuan Xunlu sensed his soul power, which had recovered to about 70-80%, and smiled gently at Tang Hao:
"You're a father now too,
you should understand the feeling of eliminating unstable factors for your child."
"Haotian True Body!"
Tang Hao unleashed the Haotian Hammer, an enormous black sun crashing down on Yuan Xunlu like a tidal wave. Yuan Xunlu clearly saw Tang Hao's ninth soul ring flash.
So what if he has a 100,000-year soul skill?
I have plenty,
and
I even have two more than you!
Yuan Xunlu's seventh soul ring shone brightly, and he released his Martial Soul True Body once more.
Unlike Tang Hao's weapon spirit true form,
Yuan Xunlu transformed into a giant dragon. Its white scales shimmered in the sunlight, emanating a sacred aura. The Holy Dragon spoke in human language:
"The sun descends!"
Its red ninth spirit ring flashed, and the dragon roared. Enchantress red patterns rose across its body, and its temperature steadily increased.
Finally,
at a certain point,
the white dragon completely transformed into a red sun.
At this moment,
the residents of Notting City could even feel the temperature rise several degrees. When they looked up, they were astonished to find two suns in the sky.
Two suns in one sky!
Tang Hao's ninth spirit skill arrived. The black light of the Clear Sky Hammer struck the dragon like the forging of iron, producing a sound like iron cavalry charging and swords clashing, sending sparks flying.
The dragon's body trembled briefly,
and then
Yuan Xunlu's ninth spirit ring flashed again.
"Judgment of Light!"
Within the scorching red sun, a colossal dragon roared, golden patterns appearing on its surface. A tremendous suction force threatened to pull Tang Hao into the sun.
A dead end!
This suction force was beyond the reach of ordinary Super Douluo. Even Qian Daoliu would have to pay a price to escape. For ordinary Title Douluo, entering the sun meant being melted.
At this critical moment,
Tang Hao, true to his title of Clear Sky Douluo,
activated his ninth soul skill!
Tang Hao knew that entering the sun would mean certain death, so in mid-air, he activated his ninth soul skill again—the amplification skill granted by his 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul ring—
temporarily eliminating all negative status effects.
At this moment, Tang Hao was at his peak, displaying the true power of the Clear Sky Hammer Title Douluo.
"Come on!" While
others avoided the sun like the plague, Tang Hao fearlessly faced it.
He placed his left foot in the air, raised his hand, and slammed the sun with his hammer. Then, using the recoil, he moved away from the sun, maintaining a safe distance. Next
, Tang Hao's right arm, wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, tensed again. His soul bone skill activated, his calves propelled him, he turned, and using the power of his entire body, slammed the sun with another hammer blow. This was the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate technique—the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. This hammer-on-hammer style was a build-up of power. If Tang Hao were to unleash his eighty-one hammer blows, Yuan Xunlu was certain he wouldn't be able to withstand it. "Generation after generation of Clear Sky Hammer Angels,"
Yuan Xunlu endured Tang Hao's brutal beatings, yet he couldn't help but admire him.
You can hate Tang San; he is indeed a hypocritical, scheming, and treacherous scoundrel.
But you can't say his father was just as trash.
At least back then, Tang Hao dared to fight the Pope to the death for his wife.
Yuan Xunlu believed that
as a husband, he had fulfilled his responsibilities.
This time, Tang Hao dared to confront Yuan Xunlu's ninth soul skill head-on; as a disciple
of the powerful Clear Sky Sect,
he hadn't disgraced the reputation of the Clear Sky Douluo.
But
, "But I don't have an angelic martial soul!" (End of Chapter)
