With his Spirit Avatar activated, Jiang Yunzhou's full attributes immediately surged several times over!
At this moment, he was like a god descending, looking down at Tang Hao.
With every movement, sword qi crisscrossed, all surging towards Tang Hao.
Tang Hao, at this moment, had long lost his initial composure; his already tattered clothes were even more shredded, making him look utterly disheveled.
He never expected such a result.
His Domain was finally shattered by him. He endured the pain and wildly swung his hammer, seemingly chaotic, but secretly accumulating power.
This was one of his unique skills: Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method!
Jiang Yunzhou raised an eyebrow and once again unleashed 'One Sword Breaks the Law': "Old man, let me show you what 'inch-stopping' feels like!"
Tang Hao, who was accumulating power, felt his spirit power stagnate again, and the stacking process was interrupted once more. He immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He looked at Jiang Yunzhou as if he were a monster.
His tightly clenched jaw and trembling body all indicated his fury at this moment.
He truly didn't understand why that sword qi was so fast and accurate. He wanted to dodge but couldn't, completely unable to defend against it.
Up until now, he hadn't even managed to get close to Jiang Yunzhou, yet he himself had sustained multiple injuries, bleeding profusely.
He raised his hammer and roared loudly:
"Eighth spirit ring, explode for me!"
Forced into a desperate situation, Tang Hao used the profound mystery of the Great Sumeru Hammer—Ring Explosion!
His strength instantly surged. He swung his massive hammer directly at Jiang Yunzhou's face, but Yunzhou easily dodged it with an elusive movement technique.
The powerful blow landed on cotton, and he almost broke down.
"Ah~ where in the world did you get such an evil movement technique?"
He was anxious, truly anxious; he had never fought such a frustrating battle.
Jiang Yunzhou didn't forget to mess with his mind, teasing:
"You want to learn? Call me daddy... I'll teach you!"
It must be said that he was good at provoking people.
Tang Hao was provoked to the brink of madness, completely disregarding his injuries, and launched another round of fierce attacks.
He wanted nothing else now but to land a hit on Jiang Yunzhou.
As long as he landed one hit, Yunzhou would be crippled even if he didn't die.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yunzhou wasn't stupid; how could he give him a chance?
To think that he, a dignified Haotian Titled Douluo, was forced into such a predicament by a Spirit Saint. If word got out, where would his reputation go?
Pressure ineffective, Domain suppressed, Spirit Abilities repeatedly interrupted, movement technique like Gui Mei... this almost rogue-like fighting style was simply despair-inducing.
Couldn't hit, simply couldn't hit.
For close-combat Spirit Masters like them, it was too difficult.
Not only that, but Jiang Yunzhou's attacks were also so sharp, able to penetrate defenses and strike directly at the flesh.
Jiang Yunzhou dodged and mocked: "Old man, you dare to come trouble me without money? Then leave your leg behind..."
He wasn't joking; he was genuinely preparing to sever one of Tang Hao's legs.
Lest he keep jumping around in front of him.
Tang Hao's mentality was indeed on the verge of collapse. A faint unease rose in his heart; if this continued, he was bound to lose.
He subconsciously glanced at his right leg, and a chill ran up his spine.
He had even used Ring Explosion, yet he still couldn't take him down. How was he supposed to fight now?
"Kid, I acknowledge your strength, but don't get complacent, I'll be back!"
At this moment, Tang Hao had already conceived the idea of retreating and prepared to disengage.
Jiang Yunzhou saw him trying to run; how could that be?
"Trying to run? I told you, if you don't pay, you can forget about leaving! Leave your leg behind..."
Jiang Yunzhou roared, harassing the fleeing Tang Hao with Spirit Abilities as if they cost nothing.
However, Tang Hao was intent on escaping, and the Titled Douluo's advantage in flying speed was fully displayed.
Although Jiang Yunzhou's movement technique was exquisite, he couldn't stay airborne for long and ultimately found it difficult to catch up.
"You dog! You spineless coward! You wait for me, I told you you'd pay the price!"
Jiang Yunzhou cursed at the retreating figure, "Damn it, making me run all this way for nothing! Next time we meet, I'm chopping off your right leg! Damn it!"
He grumbled his way back to the Supreme Academy.
This chase lasted for over two hours.
When he returned to the small courtyard, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both waiting there, looking worried.
"Huh? Why are you two standing here instead of sleeping?"
Jiang Yunzhou said irritably, "Want to do extra training? Fine, a thousand squats each, don't sleep until you're done!"
Running for nothing and losing 'potential income' meant losing money, and he was very unhappy now.
Ning Rongrong hurried forward and carefully asked, "Teacher, why did you go out so late?"
After looking him up and down, Zhu Zhuqing said, "Teacher, did you get into a fight again?"
These words enlightened Ning Rongrong.
She had originally thought that Teacher hadn't returned late at night because he was having a secret rendezvous with that Front Desk Miss... "Hmm? So Teacher went to fight, not to 'fight' then!" Her tone became subtle.
Surrounded and scrutinized by the two girls, Jiang Yunzhou's displeasure largely dissipated.
But he was still stubborn: "Sigh, I lost money, I'm unhappy!"
Ning Rongrong burst out laughing at his words.
Jiang Yunzhou irritably patted the back of her head: "Laugh, laugh, laugh, you talk too much! A thousand squats! Now! Immediately! Right now! Little Zhu Qing, you watch her do them! Daring to make fun of your teacher requires punishment!"
After speaking, he huffily returned to his room.
The two girls exchanged a smile and began doing squats.
"Rongrong."
Zhu Qing said softly while doing squats, "Don't make fun of Teacher in the future. Teacher is still young and cares about his reputation."
Ning Rongrong wanted to laugh even more when she heard this. She tried hard to hold it in: "Mm-hmm, I know~ Zhu Qing, do you know Teacher's birthday? I want to give him a box of gold coins, to buy him some happiness."
Zhu Qing smiled bitterly and shook her head; only Ning Rongrong could come up with such an idea.
She truly knew nothing about Jiang Yunzhou's past.
The only thing she knew was that he must have had a very difficult childhood.
In Zhu Qing's opinion, Teacher's fondness for gold coins might not be a hobby, but more a representation of security; he might truly have been terrified of poverty.
Observant people can always accurately peek into others' hearts.
A thousand squats were not difficult for them now.
They completed them with ease, and then both returned to their rooms to rest.
The small courtyard under the night sky returned to tranquility.
The next morning, as dawn was just breaking, Jiang Yunzhou was already awake.
He got angrier the more he thought about it last night, and the angrier he got, the less he could sleep.
After much thought, he felt that even if he did manage to snatch Tang San's belt, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the mental distress Tang Hao caused him yesterday.
If the father is so poor, how much money could the son have?
Thus, a plan formed in his mind.
He was going to raid Tang San's home and destroy his birthplace.
This move would kill two birds with one stone: not only would it annoy Tang San, but it would also force Tang Hao to come looking for him.
Otherwise, how could he get money from a Titled Douluo who was determined to hide?
"Zhu Qing, Rongrong..."
He summoned his two disciples and went straight to the point: "I'm leaving the academy in your care. I'll be out for a few days."
Ning Rongrong immediately tugged at his sleeve and pouted: "Teacher, where are you going? Take me with you! Take me! I'll cover all expenses on the way!"
Zhu Qing also showed a look of anticipation in her eyes.
But seeing Jiang Yunzhou's unusually serious expression, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and softly asked, "Teacher, how long will you be gone?"
This time, Jiang Yunzhou faced the temptation of gold coins but still refused.
"I'm not taking anyone this time."
Jiang Yunzhou estimated: "I'll be back in about three days."
Since they met, they had never been apart for so long.
Zhu Qing didn't know what he was going to do, and a hint of reluctance welled up in her heart, "Won't there be any danger?"
Jiang Yunzhou lifted his chin, full of confidence: "With my strength as your teacher, who do you think can bring me danger?"
Danger? Non-existent.
Zhu Qing felt that Teacher was bragging, but she had no evidence.
"I don't care, I'm going with you!"
Ning Rongrong started to act spoiled, "If you don't take me, then I'll, I'll, I'll..."
She 'I'll-ed' for a long time but couldn't think of anything that could threaten her teacher.
She felt that Jiang Yunzhou was practically impeccable except for his love of money.
And now it seemed that she couldn't do without her teacher, not that her teacher couldn't do without her.
"Wuwuwu~~ Teacher, you're so annoying!"
