Chapter 183: Chaos
"Everyone, follow me to capture Tang Hao!"
Yu Luomian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
In the hall, the strong members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood up one after another and left with Yu Luomian.
Liu Erlong and the other two quietly hid among the crowd.
Before long.
Outside the academy, Tang Hao smiled satisfactorily, "Xiao San, they're here. But be prepared; it's going to be much grander than we imagined."
"I told you, Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect commands respect from both Thunder Academy and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
One had to admit, Tang Hao was extremely confident at this moment.
Even Tang San felt influenced by Tang Hao, unconsciously straightening his back.
He even looked forward to seeing the higher-ups of Thunder Academy bowing to them.
After all, according to Tang Hao, they were now back on their feet. No one could look down on them anymore.
No one could chase them down! Not even Qin Xiao.
"They're right ahead."
At the same time, someone in the academy spotted Tang Hao and his son, shouting loudly.
"Heh, even the second head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has come?"
Tang Hao, with sharp eyes, recognized Yu Luomian at the forefront.
"Tang Hao!"
"It's really you!"
Yu Luomian stopped, his face filled with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
Although they hadn't seen each other for over a decade, he still recognized the weathered man before him as the youngest Title Douluo in the continent back then.
"Second Master, long time no see. I didn't expect that the principal of Thunder Academy would personally come to greet us."
"I am the current principal of Thunder Academy."
"Oh?"
Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Tang Hao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Isn't that a coincidence?"
Pausing, he pointed to Tang San beside him, "This is my son Tang San. We have only one purpose here today: to have my son enroll in Thunder Academy and participate in the upcoming Continental Soul Master Tournament."
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian was stunned.
He had considered many possibilities, but never expected Tang Hao to say this.
Wasn't this too far-fetched?
Hmph, Tang Hao thought, indeed, no one would act without incentive. Seeing Yu Luomian remain silent, he decided to push further.
"Second Master, you may not know, but our ancestor Tang Chen has returned, stronger than ever. The Haotian Sect has been dormant for too long, but soon, our sect's prestige will once again shake the Douluo Continent."
"You said... Tang Chen!"
Yu Luomian's face showed shock.
Ancient memories, almost forgotten, resurfaced. The Haotian Sect's title as the strongest was largely due to Tang Chen's contributions.
"That's right, the ancestor Tang Chen."
Tang Hao raised his chin proudly, showing a hint of arrogance on his face.
With such a powerful backer, it was hard to stay low-key.
However.
Yu Luomian still didn't respond, not saying a word more.
This didn't feel right. Tang Hao frowned.
"Doesn't the Second Master plan to invite us in?"
"I don't have such plans at the moment."
"What!"
Hearing Yu Luomian's answer, Tang Hao's face showed a mix of surprise and confusion.
What did this mean?
Refusing them?
"Father..."
Tang San, anxious, called out softly.
"Quit dawdling and take them down!"
"Mighty Vajra Palm!"
Suddenly, a figure shot up from the crowd, eight soul rings flashing. In mid-air, the seventh soul ring glowed brightly, transforming the figure into a massive bear several meters tall, plummeting like a meteor towards Tang Hao.
"You are..."
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply, "Zhao... Wuji!"
Without thinking, he grabbed Tang San and quickly retreated.
Boom!
The ground erupted in a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, Zhao Wuji had left a large crater in front of the academy gates.
"Second Master, what is the meaning of this?"
"Is this how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan treats guests?"
Tang Hao, having dodged to the side, glared coldly.
"This..."
Yu Luomian's face turned grim.
"Are you still hesitating at this point?"
Suddenly, Liu Erlong stepped out from the crowd, whispering as she passed by Yu Luomian.
Indeed!
How could he still hesitate?
He couldn't afford to hesitate anymore!
Yu Luomian knew that once the bow was drawn, there was no turning back. A fence-sitter would be swiftly eliminated, no matter who it was.
"Disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, take down Tang Hao and his son."
Finally, Yu Luomian gave the order in a deep voice.
The disciples, who had been on edge, instantly lunged at Tang Hao like ravenous dogs.
They knew Tang Hao's identity and strength, but for the sake of their clan, they had to give it their all.
Tang Hao suddenly understood, "I see, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has joined forces with Qin Xiao."
Liu Erlong, Flander, and Zhao Wuji's presence confirmed everything.
He shot a fierce glance at the crowd, as if to remember everyone present for future revenge.
Without another word, he grabbed Tang San and prepared to leave.
"Do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Yu Luomian gritted his teeth, completed his martial soul possession, and instantly activated his martial soul's true form, charging at Tang Hao first.
"If I want to leave, no one can stop me."
Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer, using the Destruction technique to force Yu Luomian back, and said disdainfully, "If Yu Yuanzhen were here, I might have to think twice. But you? You're not enough!"
Yu Luomian's face turned blue and white.
He had to admit, his combat power was nowhere near Tang Hao's.
But then, a series of lights began to enhance him.
The support soul masters' buffs finally reached him.
Not only that, but many of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Soul Saints and above also received the buffs, their auras skyrocketing.
"Surrounded in the end."
"But what difference does it make to you? You will pay a heavy price for your actions."
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, you are courting death."
Tang Hao licked his lips eagerly, craving bloodshed and slaughter. He swung the Clear Sky Hammer at the nearest Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Soul Saint.
He could already foresee the scene of the opponent being smashed into pulp under the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Not good..."
Faced with imminent death, the Soul Saint's face was filled with terror.
But in the next second, Zhao Wuji's robust figure blocked his path.
Tang Hao raised an eyebrow, "Do you think you can take my hammer? Overestimating yourself!"
Zhao Wuji had eight soul rings, but what of it?
Yu Luomian was strong, yet he was forced to retreat under his attacks. What could Zhao Wuji hope to achieve?
"Evil God Protection!"
Of course, Zhao Wuji didn't dare be careless. His eighth soul ring flashed, and a faint black shield enveloped him.
Boom!
The Clear Sky Hammer struck the Evil God Protection, but Zhao Wuji didn't even flinch.
"Unscathed?"
Tang Hao's face showed genuine surprise.
According to his expectations, Zhao Wuji should have been vomiting blood and retreating.
"Hmm, not bad."
"If you try a bit harder, I might have to move."
"But for now, you're not making me feel like moving at all."
Zhao Wuji smacked his lips, looking somewhat unsatisfied.
One must know, he was now a Soul Douluo, with the support of Thunder Academy's auxiliary soul masters, his cultivation had soared. With the added power from the Evil God Tiger's soul ring, his defense was astounding.
After all, the Evil God Tiger could rival a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Tang Hao would need to exert considerable effort to break through Zhao Wuji's defense.
On the other hand, hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Tang Hao's face contorted.
What kind of nonsense was this?
He tightened his grip on the Clear Sky Hammer, determined to take down Zhao Wuji no matter what.
Boom! Boom!
He struck two more times, causing the ground to shake, but Zhao Wuji remained unmoved.
"This defense is ridiculously strong..."
Tang Hao cursed inwardly, never expecting the Soul Saint he once looked down on to have reached such a level, far exceeding his expectations.
"You turtle shell, I'll break you no matter what."
He squinted his eyes, focusing, and activated the Killing God Domain imprinted on the Clear Sky Hammer.
He was confident that under the Killing God Domain, he could break through Zhao Wuji's defense.
"Purple Lightning Domain!"
Boom!
Suddenly, several bolts of lightning descended from the sky, turning the area around Tang Hao into a thunder pool.
"Thunder!"
"It can't be..."
Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply, and the image of Qin Xiao involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
He panicked.
Truly panicked.
"Father," Tang San's body also trembled, and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.
He too thought of that terrifying figure.
Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he would remember the fearsome Qin Xiao.
"Wait, no!"
Tang Hao's eyes suddenly widened. A figure descended from the sky with overwhelming power, but it wasn't Qin Xiao.
"It's Liu Erlong!"
"Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter? Isn't her martial soul a Fire Dragon? How can she control lightning?"
Despite his many doubts, Tang Hao knew this wasn't the time to ponder. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer to meet the attack.
The Clear Sky Hammer collided violently with Liu Erlong's descending figure.
Boom!
Liu Erlong was forced back, landing beside Zhao Wuji.
Tang Hao's body shook, his arm holding the Clear Sky Hammer went numb.
He looked at Liu Erlong, surrounded by eight soul rings, and said in a surprised voice, "I didn't expect you to become a Soul Douluo, and with eight soul rings? And the eighth ring is a rare domain skill?"
Liu Erlong was truly astonishing. Tang Hao felt she was already as powerful as a Title Douluo.
What worried Tang Hao even more was the extremely dangerous aura he sensed from her.
"Enough with the nonsense."
Liu Erlong frowned and stomped heavily on the ground, causing it to crack like a spider web.
In an instant, she was in front of Tang Hao, her fist wrapped in lightning, striking out with overwhelming force.
"How bold!"
Tang Hao shouted and quickly used the Clear Sky Hammer to block.
Boom.
Lightning scattered as Liu Erlong's first punch didn't work, so she followed with a second punch.
One punch after another.
Tang Hao responded with a serious expression, counterattacking whenever possible, but each strike was blocked by Liu Erlong.
Additionally, he had to deal with sudden attacks from the surrounding soul masters.
"Gulp."
"Is this Erlong's current strength?"
Yu Luomian swallowed nervously.
He knew Liu Erlong was strong, but he hadn't expected this level of power. He was certain that ordinary Title Douluo couldn't match her.
But don't forget, Liu Erlong was only an eighty-ninth level Soul Douluo, still a step away from becoming a Title Douluo.
What would her strength be once she became a Title Douluo?
It was unimaginable.
In the crowd, Flander felt a deep sense of melancholy, feeling the gap between him and Liu Erlong growing wider.
"No, I can't continue like this."
"Even if I exhaust myself to kill a few Soul Saints, it would be meaningless. It might even give others an advantage."
Tang Hao gradually calmed down.
With so many people and the suppression from control soul masters, he could only exert seventy to eighty percent of his strength.
And with Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Luomian, three non-Title Douluo who could rival Title Douluo, his advantage was minimal.
Moreover, Liu Erlong gave him a very dangerous feeling, making him cautious.
Unless he used the soul ring explosion.
But was it worth it for a moment's anger?
Tang Hao thought it over carefully and decided against it.
As long as he lived, there was hope.
"Hahaha, what a Thunder Academy, what a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I'll remember you. Wait and see what happens when a Title Douluo targets you."
He laughed coldly, retreating with Tang San while fighting.
"Not good, stop him!"
Yu Luomian's heart trembled as he led a fierce attack.
"Haha, you think you can stop me?"
"Back then, the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, led many Spirit Hall experts and thought the same. But what price did they pay?"
"You are still weaker than them."
Tang Hao said disdainfully, retreating with Tang San.
"Chase!"
Yu Luomian gritted his teeth and issued the command.
Liu Erlong, however, stopped him. "Don't chase."
"Why?"
"Qin Xiao said, 'Do not pursue a cornered enemy.' If the enemy is desperate, they might retaliate, causing us losses. Don't forget, Tang Hao still has his trump card."
Trump card!
Yu Luomian was startled. The strongest secret technique of the Haotian Sect was the soul ring explosion. When the soul rings exploded, the power would double. What would happen then was beyond their control.
"Forget it."
Yu Luomian sighed, "We'll listen to Erlong and not pursue."
"Heh, those Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon guys still know their limits."
A long time later, on a nameless hill a hundred miles away from Thunder Academy, Tang Hao sneered.
Tang San, however, had different thoughts. After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Father, what do we do next?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao fell silent.
Undoubtedly, they had failed again.
