Looking at the masked, gray-robed old man flying in mid-air, Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that he seemed somewhat familiar.
He knew almost all the veteran Title Douluo.
However, he found this old man familiar, yet couldn't place him.
Tang Hao knew he'd been tricked by Xiao Yan. Black light flickered in his hand, and he immediately summoned his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
Nine soul rings emerged: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, and red.
Especially that ninth red soul ring, its eerie crimson light, made Chrysanthemum Douluo feel an indescribable pressure.
He seemed to have figured out who this old man was.
Tang Hao said in a low voice, "The Pope of the Martial Soul Hall and all of you back then were no match for me. You, a mere chrysanthemum, dare to be my enemy?"
He swung the two-meter Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, immediately producing a whistling sound.
"So it's really you!" Chrysanthemum Douluo glared at the gray-robed old man in the air with a sinister look, "Tang Hao!"
Tang Hao sneered, "Since you know it's me, why aren't you running for your life?"
Watching the two on the screen, Xiao Yan felt that things seemed a bit off.
Tang Hao had only just appeared, and it was as if he had scared Chrysanthemum Douluo witless.
Both were Level 95 Title Douluo, and Tang Hao was only half-crippled. Why was he being so cowardly?
As Xiao Yan's thoughts raced, a large loudspeaker suddenly appeared between Tang Hao and Chrysanthemum Douluo:
"Tang Hao is severely injured and is only putting on a show of force now."
Tang Hao's lips twitched. This Xiao Yan… If I'd known, I would have just strangled him!
After Xiao Yan's reminder, Chrysanthemum Douluo also sensed something was wrong with Tang Hao's body.
If Tang Hao's strength was intact, killing him wouldn't be too difficult.
"You can try what a single blade of grass says, but the price will be your life," Tang Hao said, completely unruffled. He even let Chrysanthemum Douluo attack, using retreat as a means of advancing.
Try with his life? Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't dare.
"Tang Hao, it's not that I fear you, but I have students to protect. As long as you're still on the Douluo Continent, Martial Soul Hall will always hunt you down!"
After leaving a harsh threat, Chrysanthemum Douluo enlarged his chrysanthemum petals, leading Hu Liena and the others to quickly retreat.
Dai Mubai was completely dumbfounded. What kind of adoptive father did he end up with?
He was actually being hunted by the Martial Soul Hall!
This meant he was now on the opposite side of the Martial Soul Hall.
Fortunately, not many people knew he was Tang Hao's adopted son.
After Tang Hao becomes emperor, he must be killed, along with that Xiao Yan, they both must die.
If he made good use of Tang Hao's head, perhaps he could establish a good relationship with the Martial Soul Hall.
After he dealt with the Heaven Dou Empire, the Martial Soul Hall wouldn't escape either.
He, Dai Mubai, would be the most powerful emperor in Douluo history!
"Aren't the Title Douluo of the Martial Soul Hall too embarrassing?" Meng Yiran said speechlessly.
Xiao Yan didn't think so.
All of this boils down to one thing: strength.
The fact that Tang Hao could scare off Chrysanthemum Douluo demonstrated just how powerful he was.
Considering the initial speculation: when the Martial Soul Hall discovered the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao was only an eight-ring Soul Douluo. However, after obtaining a soul ring from a 100,000-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form, he managed to repel everyone from the Martial Soul Hall and even escape their subsequent pursuit.
A full set of soul bones was one aspect, but there were definitely other factors involved.
For example… the secret technique Tang Hao used to perform the Soul Ring Self-Destructing Technique last time.
Regarding the study of soul rings, Xiao Yan had previously deduced that the soul rings on a Soul Master still contained a certain amount of energy.
This was also a crucial reason why Xiao Yi and Xiao Xue could cultivate such powerful inner strength so quickly.
Although some of the soul ring energy would assist a Soul Master in leveling up after the fusion, some energy would remain.
Therefore, the amount of energy remaining would vary depending on the age of the soul ring.
The higher the age of the soul ring, the more powerful the resulting soul skill.
This wasn't just because of the soul master's increasing strength.
Xiao Yan raised a hand and touched his nose. It seemed Tang Hao had mastered a secret technique to utilize soul ring energy more comprehensively, the Soul Ring Self-Destructing Technique.
That old man was a Title Douluo, and he also had a 100,000-Year Soul Beast soul ring. If he were to self-destruct, it was likely that only the Martial Soul Hall's trump card Title Douluos could stop him.
But, could the soul rings be restored after self-destructing?
Xiao Yan felt he could also try to study it.
Compared to Tang Hao, he had a bigger advantage.
Twin Martial Souls meant he could attach at least eighteen soul rings.
Excluding the two special soul rings of Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi, he still had sixteen soul rings available.
Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi's soul rings contained soul memories. If they self-destructed, Xiao Yan couldn't guarantee they would survive.
Tang Hao, it seems I can't just let you blow up your soul bone that easily.
"Xiao Yan, what are you spacing out for? They're getting away!" Ning Rongrong shook Xiao Yan's arm, shouting.
Watching the scene on the screen, Xiao Yan waved his hand. "Let them go. We'll head back to Soto City for now."
"Next, I'll train you all properly. In three months, there's a test for you and Zhuqing. It's a shame, I still didn't know Yiran back then."
"A test? What test?" Meng Yiran asked curiously.
Xiao Yan said lightly, "It's a battle against those three people on the screen."
Back then, he hadn't yet been strong enough to kill Tang Hao outside the town near the Star Dou Great Forest.
The agreement with Shrek Academy for the match served multiple purposes: to stabilize Tang Hao, giving him time to improve his strength; to keep Shrek Academy confined to their village; and to assess the training progress of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Afterward, Shrek Academy could just... die.
It was a complete exploitation of Shrek Academy's remaining value.
"Let's all go back and rest. We're returning to Soto City tomorrow," Xiao Yan said, stretching as he helped Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi up.
Although he hadn't been fighting lately, using the Blue Silver Domain to search for medicinal herbs was still tiring.
Due to the limited space, he needed to carefully analyze the age of the herbs, only taking those with the best effects. He left the ones that were only a few decades old to continue growing.
This doubled his workload.
The next morning, the gentle sunlight softly illuminated the entire land. Everything seemed to have awakened with renewed vitality after the dark night.
Two luxurious carriages sped towards Soto City at their fastest pace.
The reason there were two carriages was simple: too many people would slow them down.
In one of the carriages, Xiao Yan was resting his head on Zhu Zhuqing's plump legs, which were clad in black stockings. His arms were wrapped around her soft waist as he enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.
From time to time, he would open his mouth to eat grapes peeled by Xiao Xue.
His legs rested on Xiao Yi's beautiful legs, which were covered in deep purple stockings, as he enjoyed the massage from Xiao Yi's slender, white fingers.
At his level of power, the effects of arduous training had diminished. He now needed to focus more on gaining insights.
