Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 81 How about being my grandson-in-law?
Looking at the nine soul rings, especially the red soul ring that exuded a strong deterrent force, Zhao Wuji was certain in his heart that the mysterious man in front of him was a terrifying Titled Douluo.

This realization hit him like a heavy hammer in the heart.

His legs went weak and his originally straight spine bent instantly. He seemed to have lost all his bones and collapsed all of a sudden.

"Senior..." Zhao Wuji's voice trembled violently, and with deep fear and humility, he said, "I really don't know how I have offended you. I hope you can explain it clearly."

As he spoke, he secretly looked up to observe the man's expression, trying to find a hint of relief from his face.

The mysterious man raised his head slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his shadowed eyes, and he said coldly: "You beat the younger one, so the older one will naturally come out to seek justice."

His voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making Zhao Wuji's blood seem to freeze.

As the words fell, the man slowly spread out his palm. A flash of light appeared in the air, and a massive hammer appeared out of thin air. The hammer was pitch black, covered in strange patterns, each of which exuded an ancient and powerful aura.

The hammer head was as big as a millstone, and it gleamed with an icy luster under the moonlight, as if it could easily crush everything in the world.

The man gripped the handle of the hammer, exerted a little force with his arm, carried the hammer on his shoulder, and then walked slowly towards Zhao Wuji step by step.

Every step he took caused the ground to shake slightly, as if his footsteps contained endless power.

Zhao Wuji watched the man approach, too frightened to breathe. His heart pounded wildly in his chest, threatening to burst through. His body trembled like a sieve, his teeth chattered, and he was completely overcome by fear.

At this moment, in front of this terrifying Titled Douluo, Zhao Wuji felt like a lamb to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.

Just as Zhao Wuji was completely enveloped by fear and almost collapsed to the ground, the silence of the night sky was suddenly broken by a sharp eagle cry.

The voice was clear and resounding, seemingly piercing the darkness and striking the heart. Then, a dazzling blue light descended from the sky like a meteor, instantly illuminating the darkness-shrouded area. As the light faded, Flanders's tall figure appeared before everyone.

Flanders was wearing a dark blue robe that rustled in the night wind.

His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, revealing the calmness and determination of a veteran on the battlefield. Beneath his feet, seven spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and three black, spiraled upwards, releasing a powerful and dazzling light that illuminated the surrounding ground.

Behind him, the shadow of an illusory owl appeared and disappeared, its eyes flashing with faint blue light, emitting a mysterious and majestic aura.

With his eyes sharp as a torch, Flanders locked onto the mysterious man holding the huge hammer at a glance.

"Greetings to His Majesty Haotian. I wonder how Zhao Wuji has offended His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can tell me clearly." Flanders bowed slightly, his voice steady and powerful, although with respect.

The mysterious man slowly raised his head, and the moonlight finally fell on his face, revealing that cold and familiar face - it was Tang Hao.

Tang Hao's eyes were as cold as ice. He glanced at Flender and said coldly, "Flender, the 78th-level Cat-Eagle Battle Soul Saint and one of the former Golden Triangle. Humph, if you don't want to be beaten, then get out of the way. He beat up the younger one during the day, so naturally the older one has to come up and seek justice."

When Flanders heard this, his heart was shocked. He instantly understood Tang Hao's intention and was well aware of the terrifying strength of the Haotian Douluo in front of him. He did not dare to speak again.

Tang Hao did not give Flanders much time to think.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure rushed towards Zhao Wuji like a black lightning. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand high, and it drew a black arc in the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, as if it was going to tear the entire space apart.

Wherever the hammer passed, the air was compressed and made a buzzing sound, and cracks appeared on the ground, as if it was torn apart by an invisible giant hand.

Zhao Wuji watched Tang Hao rushing towards him, his mind going blank with fear.

He wanted to dodge, but found that his legs were like lead, unable to move. He could only close his eyes in despair, waiting for the fatal blow to come.

Tang Hao rushed to Zhao Wuji, raised his arms high, and his broad and thick palms were wrapped in a whistling wind, and swung towards Zhao Wuji like a heavy axe.

There was a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent forest. Zhao Wuji's face was instantly slapped to the side, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Flanders' face turned pale and red when he saw this scene, and his expression was extremely complicated. He turned his head slightly away, unable to bear to look at this slightly cruel scene.

Zhao Wuji secretly groaned in his heart, thinking that he had really hit a wall this time.

He knew that Tang Hao, as Haotian Douluo, was extremely powerful and Zhao Wuji had no power to fight back in front of him. However, as the dean, he felt bad about being taught a lesson like this.

Tang Hao had no intention of stopping. His palms fell like raindrops, and each blow was carried with great force. Zhao Wuji's body kept shaking with the beatings, and his clothes were torn by the strong wind, and bloodstains appeared on his body.

"Humph, you dare to bully my son? Today I will let you know how powerful I am."

Tang Hao roared softly while beating, his voice full of anger.

Flanders gritted his teeth and decided to plead for mercy. The owl's shadow behind him instantly solidified, spreading its wings and carrying him towards Tang Hao.

"Your Majesty Haotian, there must be a misunderstanding. Please show mercy!" Flanders shouted loudly while flying.

A few hours later, Tiandou City, a huge city where prosperity and bustle are intertwined, is now bathed in the warm afternoon sun.

On the wide bluestone streets, people are bustling and shoulder to shoulder.

The streets were lined with shops, their signs dazzling with all sorts of things, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining echoed endlessly. One shop sold exquisite soul guides, and a strange light shone from inside, drawing the attention of passersby.

In this lively atmosphere, Huo Yuhao quietly followed behind Dugu Bo, moving steadily towards the Tiandou Royal Academy.

Dugu Bo's slender figure, with steady steps and an innate majesty, was dressed in a dark green robe, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, emitting a faint chill.

Wherever the two men passed, the originally noisy crowd seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible hand. Pedestrians around them cast fearful glances at them, subconsciously retreating, not daring to get even a little closer.

The two walked steadily on the street. Dugu Bo tilted his head slightly, looked at Huo Yuhao behind him, and said softly: "Yuhao, when we get to the academy, you must help me take a close look at my granddaughter's body and remove the toxins from her body." "Senior, don't worry, I will take care of this matter. With my current understanding of pharmacology and toxicology, I will definitely be able to relieve my granddaughter's suffering from the toxins." Huo Yuhao responded lightly.

The two of them continued their conversation, their steps uninterrupted, and they soon arrived at the gate of Tiandou Royal Academy. The gate was majestic and magnificent, built of massive bluestone and intricately carved with patterns, highlighting the academy's long history and extraordinary heritage.

At this time, the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal Academy became solemn in an instant after learning the news of Dugu Bo's arrival.

They looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

In their impression, every time Dugu Bo came, it was almost always accompanied by trouble and conflict. The leading member of the Education Committee frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Could this Poison Douluo be here to cause trouble again? We need to go out and take a look."

After saying this, the three members of the Education Committee quickly walked towards the academy gate. When they saw Huo Yuhao standing beside Dugu Bo, they were all stunned.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's thin figure quietly following behind Dugu Bo, the three of them couldn't help but feel a surge of doubt. One of the Education Committee members muttered quietly, "Could this child be held hostage by Dugu Bo? Seeing him follow so obediently, he must be under duress."

The three education committee members looked at each other, their eyes revealing vigilance.

They walked forward cautiously, their eyes fixed on Dugu Bo, while also glancing at Huo Yuhao from time to time, trying to find the truth of the matter from their expressions.

"Senior Dugu, I wonder what brings you here?"

"I came here to find my granddaughter." Dugu Bo replied.

When Meng Shenji heard Dugu Bo's answer, his brows furrowed even more tightly. His eyes swept back and forth between Huo Yuhao and Dugu Bo, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.

"Since you came to the academy to look for your granddaughter, why did you hold Huo Yuhao hostage? Huo Yuhao has done the academy a favor, and we will definitely not stand idly by today."

There was a hint of anger and determination in Meng Shenji's voice. He took a step forward, slightly puffed out his chest, and put on a protective posture, staring at Dugu Bo closely, as if he would attack without hesitation if Dugu Bo made the slightest movement.

Dugu Bo couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He turned around to look at Huo Yuhao, shook his head slightly, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"How could I possibly hold him hostage?" Dugu Bo said, spreading his hands and making an innocent gesture, "It was clearly him who held me hostage to be his bodyguard."

Dugu Bo's tone was half joking and half serious, but his eyes revealed a hint of recognition of Huo Yuhao's strength.

After hearing Dugu Bo's words about being Huo Yuhao's bodyguard, the three members of the Education Committee stood still as if they were under a spell.

They stared at each other, their eyes wide with disbelief. Meng Shenji's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was stunned by the sudden words and was speechless for a moment.

The other member of the Education Committee raised his eyebrows, his expression as if he was listening to an extremely absurd joke. His eyes shuttled back and forth between Dugu Bo and Huo Yuhao, trying to find a trace of a joke in their expressions.

In this silent and astonished atmosphere, Huo Yuhao took a small step forward with a humble and gentle smile on his face.

He raised his head, his eyes calmly meeting the complicated looks from the three members of the Education Committee. He cleared his throat and began to explain, "Seniors, I misunderstood you. Senior Dugu and I came here to detoxify Senior Dugu's granddaughter, Dugu Yan. Senior Dugu knew that I was researching pharmacology and toxicology, so he invited me to come along."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he bowed slightly and saluted the three education committee members as a sign of respect.

The three members of the Education Committee froze in silence upon hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation. They exchanged glances, their wariness gradually fading, replaced by surprise and curiosity.

"Is this really true?" Meng Shenji muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded and walked straight into the academy.

Seeing Huo Yuhao walking in front, Dugu Bo's originally steady pace quickened instantly, as if he was afraid of being left behind. The wide robe fluttered in the wind behind him, bringing up a whistling sound, and he caught up with Huo Yuhao in a few steps.

The three members of the Education Committee remained frozen in place, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Their gazes followed Dugu Bo and Huo Yuhao's backs closely, their mouths slightly open, like petrified statues.

Meng Shenji frowned, muttering, "What on earth are these two up to? A Titled Douluo guarding a ten-year-old kid?"

The other two members of the Education Committee were also suspicious. They looked at each other, but they still couldn't figure out the reason.

Dugu Bo and Huo Yuhao walked side by side. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Huo Yuhao beside him. With a hint of admiration and curiosity in his eyes, he said:
"Friend Huo, although I don't know how you were able to improve your strength so much in such a short time, but based on your talent for alchemy, I think your future is limitless."

After a pause, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Dugu Bo's face, and then he asked, "What do you think of my granddaughter? If possible, I would like to bring you two together."

Dugu Bo's tone was half joking and half serious, and his eyes revealed his fondness for Huo Yuhao, as if he had already regarded him as the perfect choice for his grandson-in-law.

When Huo Yuhao heard this, his originally steady steps suddenly stopped, and his whole body froze in place as if an acupoint had been pressed.

A blush instantly spread across his face, and he felt embarrassed and at a loss.

"Senior, you...what are you talking about?"

Huo Yuhao stammered, a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

He secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Dugu Bo, only to see that the other party was looking at him with a smile on his face, as if waiting for his response.

Huo Yuhao felt his scalp tingling and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately.

He hurriedly quickened his pace, trying to escape this embarrassing topic, secretly complaining in his heart: "Dugu Bo, why did he suddenly bring up this?"

"Hahahaha——" Dugu Bo looked at Huo Yuhao's fleeing back and couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter echoed on the path of the academy.
