Chapter 172

In the forest ten kilometers outside Shrek Academy.

Li Fei's figure walked out from within the spacetime gate.

"Whoever you are, don't hide your head and show your tail—come out at once!" Li Fei said lightly; with the boost of soul power, his voice spread out, very clear.

From ahead of Sasha came the sound of footsteps rubbing against the ground.

A man clad in a tattered black robe walked out from the depths of the night.

He emanated a powerful aura.

However, Li Fei did not think so.

You think I'm that Zhao Wují guy?

By the way, I wonder if Zhao Wují's arrival will repeat the original story's misfortune?

No matter what, today is a good chance to teach Tang Hao a lesson.

Not bad, the man who walked out, looking like a beggar, is none other than Tang San's father, Title Douluo Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect!

"Who are you? Why are you hostile toward me?" Li Fei asked, feigning ignorance.

"Having beaten the junior, the senior naturally comes out to seek justice!" A low, hoarse voice came from beneath the black robe.

The next second, rings of soul power appeared on the black-robed man.

Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red! When the final red ring representing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring appeared, Tang Hao's aura instantly surged to its peak! "Title Douluo, or possessing a ninth soul ring of a hundred thousand years—could you be the long‑missing Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao?" Li Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a faint smile.

"If you really are Tang Hao, then your martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer; the one in the academy who possesses the Clear Sky Hammer and whom I've beaten is Tang San. You both share the Tang surname, so Tang San must be your son, right?" Li Fei wore an expression of deduction as he spoke.

"You're quite smart, but tonight you're going to suffer." Tang Hao said in a deep voice, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Just you? You're not qualified enough; there are others in the world besides you who have hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings, and I have a bit more than that."

Li Fei curled the corner of his mouth, saying this with deep meaning.

These words made Tang Hao frown slightly; at first he didn't understand, but suddenly he felt something amiss. The next second, his pupils constricted beneath the black robe as he saw an unforgettable scene rising from beneath Li Fei's feet: red! red! red! red! red! red! red! red! gold!

Eight red and one gold—nine soul rings! The Azure Dragon Staff appeared in his hand! A terrifying dragon might spread out! Violent winds shook the entire forest! In an instant, Tang Hao's aura was crushed! "Eight hundred‑thousand‑year red soul rings?!"

"What year is the gold soul ring?"

"Nine soul rings—this brat is so young yet already a Title Douluo; I've never heard of such a thing!"

Tang Hao's pupils shrank; his heart was overwhelmed with shock.

What an exhilarating, blood‑boiling sight! Suddenly his fighting spirit surged; the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, wanting to measure himself against the youth before him.

"Such a young Title Douluo, with eight red and one gold—truly a prodigy!"

"I just have one question: what year does the gold represent?"

Tang Hao took a deep breath, intending to ask first.

"One million years." Li Fei satisfied his curiosity.

"What?!"

"One million years?!"

"Impossible! Where on this continent could a million‑year soul beast come from?!"

Upon hearing that, Tang Hao was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, what stood before him seemed not a person but a azure dragon!

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Title Douluo Tang Hao, I've long heard of your fame—you literally beat to death the former pontiff Qian Xunjí. I've been waiting for you; tonight I'll learn just how strong you are." "Tonight we'll also see whether your Clear Sky Hammer or my Dragon‑Pattern Staff is superior."

"But I think that after tonight, the title of 'Number One Weapon Martial Soul under Heaven' belonging to the Clear Sky Hammer will pass to my Dragon‑Pattern Staff."

Li Fei said this, and the aura of a ninety‑eighth‑rank Super Douluo spread from his body.

He took the lead and charged toward Tang Hao.

He would not allow the opponent to avoid battle!

He wanted to defeat Tang Hao! Dare to come looking for me—this is the price!

"Hmph, naturally my Clear Sky Hammer is superior!"

"Even if you have eight red and one gold soul rings, I'm not afraid—I'll still defeat you!"

Tang Hao's eyes burned with fighting spirit; since the reputation of his Clear Sky Hammer was at stake, he could not avoid battle, and moreover he was eager to test the strength of this mysterious Title Douluo Li Fei.

Thus he also brandished his Clear Sky Hammer and rushed forward!

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!! Peng peng peng peng peng peng!!!!!!!!!! In an instant, the two figures darted through the forest, clashing fiercely.

The collision of staff and hammer produced a ferocious impact and scattering sparks! Tang Hao marveled to discover that his Clear Sky Hammer, which could counter any weapon, had no effect whatsoever on the Dragon‑Pattern Staff before him!

On the contrary, it was being countered by the opponent!

In other words, the grade of the youth's Dragon‑Pattern Staff exceeds that of the Clear Sky Hammer! Truly unbelievable!

When on this continent did such a monstrous youth appear?

Fortunately he's not from the Spirit Hall; otherwise, he would become the greatest obstacle to his revenge against the Spirit Hall!

In the fierce battle, Tang Hao unleashed one after another the secret arts of the Clear Sky Sect and his soul skills.

His moves were wide‑open and powerful; the opponent pursued an extreme offense.

He is indeed strong!

"Chaotic Wind Slash, Nine Returns to One!"

Tang Hao roared! All the afterimages he had just thrown out returned to his body; the Clear Sky Hammer enlarged, its power at its peak, and he smashed it ferociously toward Li Fei.

"You're getting impatient."

"But my warm‑up is done; let's get serious now."

"I hope you can hold out; otherwise this game ends."

Li Fei curled the corner of his mouth; throughout the battle he felt quite at ease, while Tang Hao appeared extremely disheveled.

The azure dragon staff in his hand condensed the power of ten strengths, and in the next second it spun rapidly into the sky.

"First Soul Skill: Azure Dragon Heaven-Earth Staff!"

He displayed the second ability of the first soul skill.

With the double power stacked, besides, his soul power as a ninety-eighth rank Super Battle Spirit is also supreme attack-type; he is very confident, Tang Hao absolutely cannot withstand it.

The azure dragon staff that had entered the sky grew huge, emanating a cyan aura all around, as if it wanted to cleave the heavens and earth; Tang Hao's pupils constricted, he also felt the terrifying power on the staff, yet he showed no hesitation, charging forward, he smashed a hammer at it!

Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tremendous recoil sent the Vast Heaven Hammer flying from his hand, cracks appeared all over the hammer, Tang Hao's expression changed drastically, he immediately deployed Vast Heaven Body Protection, but in the next second he was struck by the staff, the body protection shattered, his body was hit and flew out like a cannonball, smashing one big tree and stone after another, he spat out mouthfuls of priceless blood.

Finally, his body was submerged in the rubble pile, in a sorry state, on the verge of death.

This was only Li Fei's slightly serious move, and it knocked the arrogant, overbearing ninety-fifth rank Title Battle Spirit Tang Hao into this state.

In the original work, Tang Hao has been mythologized too much; after actual combat, Li Fei discovered that he is just as trash as the others.
