"This man? He is Tang Hao, one of Asura God 's puppets.
I was protecting Hanrui while staying invisible and this dimwit released a slight killing intent towards Hanrui, so here he is." Gu Yuena said as she recalled what happened.
…Flashback…
Just as Hanrui bid his farewell to Tang San and left, Tang Hao who was watching his son going to the registration office, someone picked him up from behind like a hen picking a chick and got violently thrown away before he could even react.
Tang Hao startled by swift location shift, instead of checking for injuries he looked around frantically for the source of his predicament but found no one.
Dusting off his rugged robe that's covering his face of the dust and felt a dull ache at his waist after being hit by something in the ground earlier and soothed it with his hand while he spoke to the air.
"Who is it, who dares to mess with me and still dares to hide? Come out for me." He bellowed in the clearing with sparsely populated trees around.
"Clap…Clap"
The sound of claps sounded from somewhere as his voice faded.
"You became quite brave, Tang Hao. Should I feel afraid of you?" A voice said, startling him.
'This voice, why does it feel so familiar? Almost like I should know this voice by heart? But why can't I recall who it belongs to?' He thought, feeling confused.
Just as he was wondering about the voice a woman dressed in white with long Silver White hair styled in a pony tail with a sword at her waist, approached him from the back of a tree in front of him.
The moment he saw the face of the woman coming in his direction, Tang Hao's face froze in shock and disbelief.
"Y-You, you're Warrior Princess Xue Li." He said, his voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Oh? So, you DO remember Lil ol Me. I thought after your little stunt with the Spirit Hall and becoming a Title-Douluo, you forgot a minor character like me."
Xue Li said sarcastically while a teasing smile spread across her lips, her eyes on the other hand showing indifference.
Her gaze held No contempt, no anger, just pure undisguised indifference that is only shown on someone you don't even put in your eye.
Tang hao who was trying to compose himself felt a pit in his stomach hearing her words, but his retorts died the moment he looked at her eyes.
'What the hell? How did I offend this demoness? I was clearly hiding, minding my own business and protecting my son.
She not only brought me out here forcefully, she is even showing signs of battle intent?' He thought feeling humiliated.
He summoned his Martial Soul—Clear Sky Hammer as he looked at her seriously, especially at her waist where her sword is stationed with slight disdain.
"Stop joking, Princess, I'm not the same man you could beat casually. I'm the Clear Sky Douluo with a 100,000 year Soul Ring.
What are you going to fight me with? With that useless sword?" He said, as he recalled the day he got beaten black and blue by her for his reckless behavior.
A surge of anger crossed his face as he decided to get some payback, forgetting the fact he was helplessly relocated not so long ago.
Xue Li's smile brightened as she looked at the fool in front of her.
"Tang Hao,o Tang Hao. You haven't changed a bit even after all these years. You are still as reckless as ever.
If it was a year ago, you might have had the chance to defeat me and rest your grudge with me. But alas, you are too late." She said as she released her Martial Soul— Radiant Swan and displayed her Soul Rings one by one.
Tang Hao, who initially scoffed at her response, grew surprised as he saw her Martial Soul which seemed different somehow.
But as he watched her display of Soul Rings and the last glaring Red Soul Ring, his face turned the colour of pig liver, like he just swallowed a disgusting fly.
"H-how, how is this possible? When did you become a Title-Douluo? You were clearly stuck at level 89 for so long.
And what is with your Martial Soul, it clearly wasn't like this before?" Tang hao questioned in disbelief, losing his composure.
"Tang Hao, are you stupid or just plain dumb? Did you forget, I was the only one who had beaten the talent shackles multiple times in my family?
And what rock did you live under that you didn't get the rumours about my ascension to Title-Douluo?" Xue Li berated him and gave him a disdainful look.
"My Martial Soul evolved thanks to my 9th Soul Ring. It is now called the Radiant Swan, and I'm known as the Radiant Swan Douluo.
It even gave me an external Soul Bone." She said as she released two Luminous Wings from her back, making Tang Hao stunned.
