Tang Hao constantly changed his attacks and moves, but his opponent was always able to predict them. Moreover, no matter how many layers his hammer technique was stacked, it would always be pushed aside by a strange force.

It felt like I was trapped in a swamp, and no matter how much force I used, it was all in vain. It was so uncomfortable and frustrating.

Tang Hao killed all sorts of opponents in the City of Slaughter, and these people had all sorts of strange methods, but he had never encountered one as strange as Gu Han.

Gu Han wore a relaxed smile. Tang Hao was no different from a doll in his hands. If he wanted, he could end the battle in one move during the first exchange.

However, Gu Han did not do that. He wanted to use this opportunity to reverse-engineer the power exertion technique of the Haotian Hammer and improve and strengthen his Xuan Shuang Nine Slashes.

By the way, let's see if we can force out other Haotian techniques, such as the Nine Techniques of Haotian or the Sky-Piercing Strike.

It's not about learning it, but about learning from the core power generation techniques.

“Brother Hao, this is a sword technique that I developed specifically to counter your hammer technique after our last battle. I named it Tai Chi.”

Gu Han spoke frankly, saying that the deduction and understanding were specifically developed to deal with the Haotian Hammer, and there was no need to hide it.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao jumped back out of the battle circle.

Gu Han did not pursue, but kept replaying in his mind Tang Hao's movements when he swung the Clear Sky Hammer, as well as the way the opponent's soul power was circulating and the way his muscles were exerting force.

The nameless technique was also glowing, imprinting the power generation techniques of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, while simultaneously merging with the Nine Slashes of Profound Frost.

"I didn't expect Brother Han to think so highly of me. Let's see if you can counter this move of mine."

Tang Hao lowered his body slightly, his expression solemn.

"Ring detonation!"

Since it's a technique to neutralize force, you should make yourself so powerful that your opponent is powerless to neutralize it. As the saying goes, "One force can overcome ten techniques," meaning that as long as your strength is great enough, there is no technique that cannot be broken.

boom! ! !

The four spirit rings beneath Tang Hao's feet exploded simultaneously, instantly escalating his aura to its peak.

"Killing God Domain, activate!!"

A domain filled with chilling killing intent unfolded, and the seed left by the Asura God within Tang Hao's body glowed, instantly elevating his power to an even more terrifying level.

Tang Hao's entire body and the Clear Sky Hammer were radiating a dazzling and bloodthirsty red light.

"A devastating strike that reaches the heavens!!!"

With a loud roar, Tang Hao swung his Clear Sky Hammer in a simple, unadorned arc, slamming it towards Gu Han, who was standing opposite him.

This attack had no skill involved, only numbers.

Gu Han raised an eyebrow slightly; this move was rather interesting.

Deep in his eyes, a Tai Chi symbol flashed by, and then the entire open space was shrouded in black and white, and everything lost its color.

Tang Hao's movements also became extremely slow, as if his body was bound by the entire world, and his soul power became extremely viscous and difficult to mobilize.

"What... I can't move my body?"

Tang Hao's body gradually went from slow to frozen, and he was extremely shocked.

Despite combining his own explosive rings with the Killing God Domain, he couldn't even get close enough to his opponent.

Gu Han had already deduced the power generation techniques of the Chaotic Cloak in his mind. It was indeed worthy of being a power generation technique perfected by the Limit Douluo, and it had a lot of merits, giving Gu Han a lot of inspiration in terms of power generation.

Even if his martial spirit isn't a hammer, the techniques for generating power in the human body are the same. The saying "if you understand one method, you understand all methods" applies here.

Gu Han sheathed the Xuan Shuang Sword, slowly walked to Tang Hao who was frozen in mid-air, formed his right palm, gathered his soul power, and struck Tang Hao's abdomen, dissipating all of Tang Hao's power.

He showed mercy and did not shatter the opponent's dantian, but only dispersed the soul power that the opponent had already unleashed.

"Pfft!!!"

Tang Hao's eyes widened, his muscular body arched like a shrimp, and he was sent flying backward at lightning speed, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

He lay on the ground, staring blankly at the clouds drifting across the sky, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Tang Hao was not injured, but his mind was a little fuzzy, and he had not yet realized that he had lost so thoroughly.

Gu Han shook his head inwardly. He had thought that Tang Hao, the father of the Douluo Grandmaster, could be a competitor, but now it seemed that he was still far from being a match for him.

So, what kind of people will he use these combat skills he has learned on in the future?

Among those of the same level, it seems that no one can compete with its stats anymore.

If you can't even beat yourself in terms of numbers, then what right do you have to compete with yourself in terms of skills?

As for Senior Sister Bibi Dong, her stats are indeed ridiculously high, but the two of them are not enemies; on the contrary, they are lovers.

Suddenly, a sense of loneliness welled up in Gu Han's heart.

He may have finally understood the mindset of Fei Peng and Chong Lou in the Legend of Sword and Fairy before they met each other.

Being too invincible, with no rivals, means one's full strength cannot be utilized, leading to a lonely feeling of being at the top.

However, the next moment, Gu Han shook his head slightly, suppressing his feelings, and gave a self-deprecating smile: "Gu Han, what's wrong with you? You're not invincible yet, and you're already arrogant? Your opponents have always been stronger. Right now, you're just a mere seventh-ring Soul Saint, and you've already developed such a mentality. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

He was in great danger just now. If he maintains this mindset and becomes arrogant and complacent, then problems will inevitably arise in his cultivation. At best, he will stop progressing at the limit of his talent; at worst, he will suffer a qi deviation.

Fortunately, he focused on cultivating his mind and promptly nipped this dangerous thought in the bud.

Since there are no rivals among those of the same level, then regard those who are much stronger than yourself as rivals and targets, and then strive to catch up.

Chapter 163 Conversation with Yu Xiaogang

"Brother Hao, you flatter me."

Gu Han stepped forward and reached out to help Tang Hao up from the ground.

Tang Hao stood up and looked at Gu Han again, his expression incredibly complicated, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Alas, I thought that after I fought my way out of the City of Slaughter, my strength had greatly increased, and even if you had become a Soul Saint, I would still be able to fight you. But now it seems that I underestimated you."

"This time, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

“However,” Tang Hao’s eyes blazed with fury as he stared intently at Gu Han, “one day, I will defeat you.”

"Then I'll wait for the day when Brother Hao defeats me."

Gu Han smiled and did not mock his opponent despite being stronger.

"Haha, alright, Brother Han, farewell."

Tang Hao laughed loudly, turned around gracefully, and strode away without lingering.

Bibi Dong walked to Gu Han's side, her gaze fixed on Tang Hao as he walked away. For some reason, she thought of the plot of the novel Gu Han had told her.

"If you had said something sarcastic about him just now, it would have been quite fitting."

"what?"

Gu Han didn't react for a moment and looked puzzled.

Bibi Dong winked mischievously and laughed, "Don't you think his appearance reminds you of a 'good-for-nothing protagonist rising to power' plot from your novel? If you had just said something sarcastic..."

"Hehe, the Holy Son of the number one sect in the world, with unparalleled talent, mocked the useless protagonist, but three years later he was beaten to a pulp."

Gu Han rolled his eyes and gently stroked Bibi Dong's hair.

"I'm not that bored. Let's go back to cultivating."

Bibi Dong puffed out her cheeks and realized that her junior brother really liked to rub her head, but she didn't mind it.

It wasn't that Gu Han had any special fetish; it was just that he felt Bibi Dong's hair felt like the finest silk when he rubbed it—very smooth and comfortable.

After that, Bibi Dong stayed in seclusion in the Holy Maiden Palace. Only Gu Han would bring her food. She didn't see anyone else. She really wanted to calm down and break through to level 80 before she would come out of seclusion.

Since becoming a Holy Son, Gu Han has also had his own Holy Son Palace, which is not far from the Holy Maiden Palace.

Gu Han observed Shi Dong's condition and, seeing that nothing was amiss, did not reveal himself.

Gu Han had already recorded the techniques for unleashing the power of the Chaotic Cloak based on the deduction of the Nameless Method. Combined with Gu Han's own powerful stats, even the power of the first sword of the Nine Slashes of Profound Frost was so great that few could withstand it, let alone all nine swords at once.

Gu Han even had a misconception—no, an intuition.

With his current strength, even titled Douluo below level 95 might not be his match.

Just like Dugu Bo in the original work, he might actually be able to defeat his opponent by relying on his ultimate ice power and terrifying stats.

To be honest, among those of the same level, only Bibi Dong can make Gu Han use his skills right now; the rest are all veteran titled powerhouses.

As for Long Tianyi, whom Gu Han encountered last time, his stats were indeed very high, but Gu Han still defeated him by relying on stats and did not use any combat techniques at all.

I was clearly going for a skill-based playstyle, but now it's starting to look more like a stat-based playstyle?

Or rather, he combines skill and numerical calculations.

More than a year later, Gu Han returned to the Spirit Hall's library.

"It's been a long time since I've been here. Let's go in and review our lessons."

With that thought in mind, Gu Han stepped into the library.

The library remained deserted.

Uh... there is such a person.

Gu Han looked at the man who had come to Wuhun City a year ago, his master Yu Xiaogang.

At this moment, the other person was sitting at a desk, intently looking at the book in their hands, with more than a dozen books lying together beside them.

To be honest, if Yu Xiaogang didn't claim these were his research findings and didn't add his own personal biases, he would indeed be worthy of respect simply for organizing the theory of martial spirits.

After all, what you can truly learn is your own.

Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang did not do that. He compiled the research results of past scholars and claimed them as his own original work. This turned him from a learner into a plagiarist, which caused a fundamental problem.

Perhaps this is why the other party's theory was ridiculed as soon as it was published.

A Great Soul Master who isn't even a Soul Venerable has studied soul beasts of various ages in such detail, and even knows the background of many 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

In the end, this guy claimed that it was his original work?

Anyone with a modicum of common sense about the world of Soul Masters wouldn't believe that.

To call him shameless is an insult to the word.

Gu Han did not conceal his presence, and Yu Xiaogang quickly noticed that someone had entered. He looked up and frowned slightly when he saw that it was Gu Han.

"Holy Son, what are you doing here?"
