Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the office finally relaxed, and Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief.

“I never imagined that the mistress was actually your son. It is my honor to be his teacher.”

Tang Hao caught a glimpse of Yu Xiaogang's actions: he wanted to be arrogant, yet he was afraid of being attacked; he wanted to befriend him as an equal, yet he felt inferior because of the difference in their strength. Disappointment flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

The mistress was fine with him at first, but after becoming a Soul Master, she had to stay with him, otherwise he would ruin her future!

The master has strong theoretical knowledge but weak practical skills; he can only lay a foundation for the mistress but cannot help her advance further in the fight.

After thinking it over, Tang Hao flicked his hand, and a token was thrown into Yu Xiaogang's hand.

"Take this token. It will come in handy when needed. My identity is special, so I should not stay any longer. Farewell."

"And what happened to your face?"

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sigh, "It's a long story."

Tang Hao said impatiently, "Then get to the point."

"The mistress was bullied."

Tang Hao's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The temperature in the office dropped several degrees instantly.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but shiver.

"Who?" Tang Hao's murderous aura was chilling. The slightest hint of the murderous aura he exuded from the City of Slaughter was enough to send shivers down Yu Xiaogang's spine.

“A child named Ye Hua also came from Holy Soul Village.” Yu Xiaogang said while carefully observing, and quickly changed the subject whenever Tang Hao’s expression turned ugly.

"He used some unknown means to transform his martial spirit from a wooden stick into a coiled dragon staff, and his soul power also increased from level three to innate full soul power."

"My mistress got into a fight with him and he broke her arms and legs. I took her to the Soul Hunting Forest to get a soul ring, but he also intercepted the four-hundred-year-old Mandragora Serpent."

"On the way back, we encountered bandits again, and both Xiao San and I were robbed of everything. Maybe... it was Ye Hua who did it too!"

Who cares? It's a bad thing anyway, just pin it on Ye Hua!

To this end, Yu Xiaogang went through all the grievances he had suffered over the past ten years, pouring out his bitterness with heartfelt sincerity!

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his eyes reddening. "Your Majesty, I'm so sorry!"

"You entrusted your mistress to me, but I failed to protect her. It's my fault, all my fault!"

Tang Hao remained silent for a long time, then turned around and strode towards the door.

"Your Majesty! Where are you going?"

Tang Hao did not answer.

His figure disappeared into the night, leaving only Yu Xiaogang standing in the empty office.

The guilt on his face slowly faded, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Ye Hua, Ye Hua, weren't you arrogant? Weren't you good at fighting?

I'd like to see how long you can remain arrogant in front of Haotian Douluo!

If you can't have it, then destroy it!

If you don't want to be my disciple, then be a dead soul!

Don't blame me, the only thing left in history books is the legend of me training a Title Douluo.

But you and Xiao San both possess innate full soul power. If you can grow into a Title Douluo yourself, how can that demonstrate my teaching ability?

On the other side, a small villa.

Tang Hao stood in the shadows outside the courtyard wall, squinting as he surveyed the unremarkable little courtyard before him.

With his cultivation level of 95 Title Douluo, the entire Notting City was undefended in his eyes.

He didn't even need to release his martial spirit; with just his pure soul power, he could raze the small courtyard to the ground.

Tang Hao never considered himself a good person. Back then, he dared to kill even the Pope in front of the Spirit Hall. What was a child compared to that?

Anyone who dares to bully Tang Hao's son should be prepared to die!

Tang Hao landed silently in the courtyard and was about to walk towards the main house when he suddenly stopped!

A faint, yet incredibly familiar aura wafted from the direction of the side room.

That is......

Aura of a soul beast!

The aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast after its transformation!

Tang Hao was completely stunned.

He was all too familiar with that scent.

This was the same aura that emanated from his wife, Ah Yin, when she sacrificed herself in the Star Dou Great Forest!

The unique soul power fluctuations of a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form.

In this courtyard lives a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast!

Tang Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the overwhelming joy in his heart.

God willing!

This is the will of Heaven!

His son, Tang San, possesses twin martial souls. His second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, requires a sufficiently powerful spirit ring to unleash its true power.

And in this world, what spirit ring is more powerful than the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?

Ah Yin sacrificed herself for him back then, which allowed him to become a Title Douluo.

Now, this 100,000-year-old soul beast is the soul ring bestowed upon Tang San by the heavens!

But now is not the time...

The sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast requires a soul master to reach at least the Soul Emperor level to withstand it.

Tang San has only just obtained his first spirit ring and is still far from becoming a Spirit Emperor, so he needs to raise this spirit beast first.

Tang Hao shifted his gaze from the side room back to the main room.

There's no rush with that soul beast. Take it back, imprison it, raise it, and then force it to sacrifice itself for the mistress when the time is right.

But tonight, Ye Hua must die!

Anyone who dares to touch Tang Hao's son will be in danger, even if the Heavenly King himself couldn't protect him!

He raised his right hand, and the phantom of the Haotian Hammer appeared in his palm. The dark red patterns radiated a chilling light in the night.

However, just as he was about to make his move—

A jet-black heavy sword emerged from the side and silently pressed against his heart.

The blade was icy cold; the line that touched the skin was as cold as the iron of deep winter.

Tang Hao's body suddenly stiffened.

He is a level 95 Title Douluo; how sharp are his perceptions?

But he was completely unaware when the owner of the sword appeared behind him!

A deep, aged whisper sounded behind him, unhurried and gentle, like the opening of a bottle of aged wine.

"Haotian Douluo, isn't it inappropriate to sneak over someone's wall in the middle of the night?"

Chapter 19 Soul Bone Compensation, Tang Hao Loses an Arm

(Regarding the controversy surrounding Tang Hao, please see the "Author's Note" at the end of this chapter. This is not something I made up.)

Tang Hao was, after all, the Haotian Douluo, a ruthless man who had fought his way out of the City of Slaughter.

The moment the heavy sword pressed against his heart, his body moved before his mind.

The illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly solidified, and the dark red patterns exploded, with nine soul rings rising from beneath its feet!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

The pressure of a level 95 Title Douluo was released without reservation!

Tang Hao flashed forward, swinging his Clear Sky Hammer backhand, accompanied by a sharp sonic boom, and smashed towards the burly figure behind him.

He didn't hold back with this blow. No matter who the opponent was, anyone who dared to hold a sword to Tang Hao's heart would have to pay the price.

Tie Xiong did not retreat. He swung his Ironblood Heavy Sword upwards and caught the Haotian Hammer steadily.

clang!!!

A deafening clang of metal clashing echoed through the courtyard.

Strangely, the loud noise was like someone being gagged; although it was loud, it dissipated completely three feet from the courtyard wall.

A layer of dark red soul power barrier had somehow enveloped the entire courtyard, locking away all movement within it.

Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply. While catching his full-force hammer blow, his opponent still had the energy to set up a soundproof barrier.

"you--"
