Douluo: Blade Template, Death Omen Approaching

Chapter 22 Two 100,000-Year Soul Rings!

"Bang!!!"

With the massive collision of the two during their first encounter, a thunderous roar echoed through the forest.

Tang Hao's initial intention not to use his full strength crumbled instantly under this sword strike. He felt as if he had been struck by a raging beast, his body involuntarily flying backward, directly knocked back dozens of meters by the explosive force of the collision.

Amidst the swirling dust, Tang Hao steadied himself, but his initial composure was gone, replaced by disbelief and rage.

He looked down at his fist, where a deep, bloody gash had been carved by the broken blade of the sword. Blood dripped slowly, staining the ground beneath his feet.

How could a kid with innate full soul power, who is at most a level ten soul master, possibly injure him? That's impossible!

This is an absolute joke! Tang Hao's heart was like a powder keg that had been lit, and the flames of anger burned fiercely in his chest.

Most importantly, he wasn't even sure if Blade had any spirit rings, but judging from the current situation, Blade hadn't activated any spirit rings at all, yet he was still able to fight him head-on!

At this moment, Tang Hao stared intently at the seemingly undamaged blade before him, his eyes blazing with fury.

He gritted his teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth: "Kid, I didn't use much power just now. I have to admit I underestimated you. Now, you can pray that you're strong enough not to get beaten to death, hehe."

His voice was cold and threatening, then he added, "Oh, right, I'll give you another chance to prepare for opening your spirit rings, but of course you have to have the time, otherwise..."

Tang Hao's words were unfinished, but the unfinished meaning was sharper than any words. His eyes were filled with killing intent, as if foreshadowing that the upcoming battle would be merciless.

Tang Hao's words came to an abrupt halt. He said no more, directly demonstrating the consequences to Ren through his actions. His muscles tensed, his soul power surged within him, and he instantly unleashed nearly 80% of the pressure of a Title Douluo.

At that moment, centered on Tang Hao, the surrounding air seemed to boil, whipping up a massive whirlwind. The whirlwind raged, tossing the surrounding trees this way and that, sending leaves flying wildly through the air like a green rainstorm. Dust and sand were swept into the air, forming a spectacular tornado, a truly awe-inspiring scene.

Faced with the terrifying pressure released by Tang Hao, Ren's blood-red eyes shone even brighter, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He seemed not to be surprised by Tang Hao's actions, but rather had a hint of anticipation.

He knew that his current level of skill was only one-tenth, and the power of the spirit rings was still somewhat necessary for him. Furthermore, the system's suppression of the demonic body and the pain in his body was only one-tenth, which were things he needed to be mindful of in battle.

However, Ren also knew that as his role-playing progressed, the spirit rings might eventually become just another convenient way for him to intimidate the natives. After all, discussing abundant power with these people might be incomprehensible to them.

But as long as a few red spirit rings are revealed, it will immediately make them realize the opponent's strength.

In Ren's heart, there was both anticipation and a playful, mocking feeling towards this display of power. He knew that his true strength far exceeded what these spirit rings could represent.

As Tang Hao had predicted, Ren appeared unusually composed in the forest. A subtle smile played on his lips, and his eyes were filled with amusement, seemingly unconcerned about Tang Hao's threat.

"Is that so? I hope you won't disappoint me a second time." Blade's voice was cold and firm. As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red light suddenly flashed above his head. The light was like the dawn breaking, instantly piercing the darkness of the forest.

Immediately afterwards, the red light slowly unfolded, like a blooming flower. A blood-red spirit ring leisurely swept across Ren's entire body, finally settling quietly at his feet. The blood-red spirit ring was dazzlingly bright, like congealed blood, exuding a chilling aura.

But what's astonishing is that following this 100,000-year-old red spirit ring is another equally dark red spirit ring. The two spirit rings complement each other, shining like twin stars, making it impossible to look directly at them.

In an instant, the entire forest seemed to be dyed the red of the other shore flower by the two 100,000-year-old red soul rings. The oppressive feeling even exceeded the pressure released by Tang Hao, making the surrounding air heavy.

In the forest, with the appearance of two red spirit rings above Blade's head, the entire environment seemed to become eerily strange. The once tranquil forest was now shrouded in some mysterious power, and an indescribable tension permeated the air.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating Blade's body, making his figure stand out conspicuously in the interplay of light and shadow. The two blood-red spirit rings, like two flames, seemed to set the surrounding air ablaze.

The plants in the forest seemed to sense the fluctuation of this power at this moment, and they all lowered their heads, as if to pay homage to the two soul rings.

The birds fell silent, the animals disappeared, and the entire forest became eerily quiet.

As for Ren, the corners of his mouth still held that subtle curve, and his eyes were full of indifference and amusement.

His body seemed to become lighter at that moment, and his fragmented sword swayed gently in his hand, as if waiting for the battle to begin.

At this moment, Tang Hao, who witnessed all of this, stared intently at the two huge red spirit rings, and remained stunned for a long time, as if he had seen a ghost and could not believe the scene before him.

Two spirit rings, each a hundred thousand years old, and located in the positions of the first and second spirit rings respectively—this is an extremely rare existence on the Douluo Continent!

Tang Hao was shocked. He couldn't imagine that a Soul Master who looked to be only level 10 could possess such a terrifying Soul Ring.

This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a subversion of the traditional understanding of Douluo Continent. In his eyes, the image of the blade instantly became blurred and mysterious. What secrets does this young man hide?

No! He's not at all at level 10 with innate full soul power!! Tang Hao's shock was like a lake being struck by a boulder, creating ripples.

He learned from his beloved son that Ren was also born with full innate soul power, but he had never told him that Ren's innate soul power was actually as high as level 20! Level 20 innate full soul power was unheard of in the Douluo Continent. Even Tang Hao himself had never heard of such terrifying soul power.

And what about Blade's two 100,000-year spirit rings?! He only got one 100,000-year spirit ring after his wife died! What kind of monster is this kid?!

Is this really something a child who has only awakened their martial soul a few days ago could possess?!

However, the shock did not last long. As a titled Douluo, Tang Hao quickly suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart and began to think carefully.

He secretly analyzed the situation. He now understood why the blade had been able to injure him earlier. It turned out that the blade possessed two incredibly powerful 100,000-year spirit rings!

As for why Ren Neng has become like this, he has two guesses: one is that he is a person like the holy son of a super top sect hidden in some continent, and the other is that he has encountered two 100,000-year-old soul beasts who happened to sacrifice themselves to him!

He had two guesses in his mind. One was that Ren might be a figure like the holy son of a super top sect hidden in some continent, and the other was that Ren might have encountered two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and they both sacrificed themselves to him.

After all, he originally belonged to the top-tier Haotian Sect, and knew that the better the sect's resources, the better. Moreover, he had also undergone the sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor to obtain his own 100,000-year-old soul ring.

However, neither of these two speculations is generally tenable!
