Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 114: Third-rate stuff
……

"Zhao Wuji, do you understand?"

It was supposed to be a friendly sparring match, but in reality, it only lasted ten breaths before Zhao Wuji was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.

Tang Hao stood with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.

With Flander's help, Zhao Wuji stood up, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty Haotian!"

Tang Hao nodded.

His son attends school here, so he couldn't just come here to beat him up. His attack just now was to instruct Zhao Wuji on how to maximize his strength.

Glancing at Xuanming not far away, Tang Hao did not speak directly, but instead used mental transmission to explain some things to Flander and the other person.

"I'll be relying on you from now on."

After saying that, Tang Hao looked at Xuan Ming and said, "Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao's figure disappeared from sight, leaving only a faint aura guiding him.

Xuanming looked in the direction Tang Hao had left, summoned his blood spear, his second soul ring flashed, and he shot out to chase after him.

Tang Hao deliberately slowed down ahead to avoid losing Xuan Ming.

The two walked one after the other until they reached a deserted valley a hundred miles outside Soto City, where Tang Hao finally stopped.

After waiting for a while, Xuanming finally caught up.

He ran such a long distance, it's fortunate that he has the flight ability of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, otherwise, if he had to rely solely on the Blood Spear to fly, he would have had almost no soul power left by the time he landed.

"I didn't expect you to have a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone at such a young age," Tang Hao said.

"Good luck." Xuanming's expression remained unchanged. He was not surprised that Tang Hao could see that he had used the Soul Bone ability.

However, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone has now been modified by the Ice Dragon King using the power of the dragon bone, and has completely merged with him. Its attributes have also changed considerably, and Tang Hao would never be able to see the problem.

"Before we take action, I have a question. Do you... know Tang Yuehua?" Tang Hao asked.

Over the years, he has not been completely oblivious to the outside world. The Great Soul Arena is a complex place, and he has made brief trips to cities near Notting City to gather information.

He had also heard about this genius soul master in the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

But today, the things this kid brought out, and what that little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School mentioned, Yuexuan!

“Didn’t I just say that?” Xuanming said.

Tang Hao was taken aback. "It's her? That makes sense. Only she has that ability..."

As if some memory had been triggered, Tang Hao's aura became somewhat strange. After a while, he raised his head again and asked, "You said you called her 'sister'?"

“She asked me to call her that,” Xuanming said.

“Is that so…” Tang Hao paused, then took out the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Come on, let me see what this genius is really all about."

Without wasting words, Xuanming gripped his blood spear and charged forward.

The Blood Spear and the Clear Sky Hammer collided with a deafening roar, and the shockwave swept wildly outwards from the two of them, causing the rocks in the valley to tumble down and kick up clouds of dust.

Xuanming felt an overwhelming force coming from the blood spear, his arm went numb instantly, and he slid backward uncontrollably for several feet, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

Tang Hao remained as steady as Mount Tai. Light flowed across the Haotian Hammer, as if lightning was leaping on its head. His eyes were like torches as he stared intently at Xuan Ming and said in a deep voice, "Not bad, you do have some skill."

"But what about your tricks from during the day?"

He clearly saw that the kid's third spirit ring disappeared when he was fighting Zhao Wuji!
Now, that purple soul ring is also dim and lifeless, as if it will go out at any moment, just like when he used the exploding ring!
But during the day, he was too far away to see clearly and wasn't sure how the kid had managed it.

I had planned to talk to Flanders and the others before looking for this kid, but I didn't expect him to show up on his own.

"Actually, I don't really want to use it now." Xuanming took a deep breath, and the fierce aura of the Blood Spear suddenly burst out. Immediately afterward, the first and second soul rings transformed into small golden halos and were placed on the Blood Spear. With a flash of light, the two soul rings disappeared.

The next instant, Xuanming's aura suddenly surged, and the ferocious aura of the blood spear also erupted wildly!
Tang Hao's expression changed slightly. "What is this move of yours?" "The Devouring Ring, I made it myself." Xuan Ming's eyes flashed with scarlet blood light, and his body began to change again. In just a few breaths, he transformed back into the ferocious appearance he had during the day.

"You figured it out yourself?" Tang Hao frowned slightly.

"You little rascal, you've got some nerve, daring to do something like this."

"Come! Let me see just how powerful your Devouring Ring really is!"

"Alright!" Xuanming brandished his blood spear, and in the next instant, he charged forward at lightning speed.

boom! ! !
Tang Hao neither dodged nor evaded. He slightly turned the Haotian Hammer in his hand, causing it to collide with the Blood Spear, resulting in a deafening roar.

The crimson lightning exploded outwards, creating a shockwave that snapped the trees in the valley and sent pebbles flying like raindrops.

"It seems you really did figure it out yourself." Tang Hao was somewhat surprised.

"You haven't even grasped the concept of weapon spirit fusion. Your power is scattered, and your center of gravity is swaying wildly. Your power is just swinging back and forth between yourself and your martial spirit. It's only because your body is strong enough that you've already killed yourself."

"This kind of skill might scare a third-rate Soul Master, but against a true expert, this move is just courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao's Haotian Hammer shifted slightly, and Xuan Ming immediately felt a tremendous force erupt from the spear tip, which sent him flying and spinning violently in the air.

hum!
The white light spread out, and Xuanming forcibly steadied himself and landed back on the ground.

"What's going on?" Xuanming frowned.

Has the Blood Spear gone out of control?

"It seems you not only act recklessly yourself, but the person who taught you to use your martial soul is also a third-rate scoundrel," Tang Hao said calmly.

"You haven't even figured out what's going on with your martial spirit, yet you're being taught inappropriate fighting methods."

"Third-rate goods?" Xuanming's eyes twitched slightly.

I wonder what Serpent Spear Douluo would think if he heard this.

"For Yuehua's sake, I'll give you some pointers today." Tang Hao took a heavy step forward, and nine spirit rings instantly appeared.

“From your habits, I can tell that your fighting style is the same as mine. You are used to overwhelming your opponent with absolute power, even if you are far weaker. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have learned those hesitant and cautious moves.”

"nondescript!"

Tang Hao dragged the Clear Sky Hammer and poured his soul power into it. The dark giant hammer immediately emitted an extremely terrifying pressure.

"Come!" Tang Hao slowly raised the Clear Sky Hammer, his aura suddenly soared, and a violent power burst out from his body, distorting the surrounding air.

Xuanming adjusted the chaotic power within his body and charged forward again.

"boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out, shaking the entire valley. Cracks appeared in the mountain walls on both sides of the valley, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Xuanming was shaken by the powerful impact, causing his blood and qi to surge. His body flew backward uncontrollably until it crashed into the mountain wall before finally coming to a stop.

"Did you understand?" Tang Hao asked calmly.

Xuanming frowned and landed back on the ground.

The power he gained through the Devouring Ring was smashed apart by Tang Hao with a single hammer blow!
Just like a half-full bottle of water being struck and surging back and forth, the power of the Devouring Ring was also swaying wildly between himself and the Blood Spear, completely out of his control.

“You started practicing this kind of move too early. If you had reached level 70 and achieved the unity of weapon and spirit before trying it, you wouldn’t have had this problem. It would just have been a matter of changing your fighting style, abandoning that incongruous approach, and finding your own path,” Tang Hao said.

"Unfortunately, your cultivation level is too low, your understanding of martial spirit is insufficient, and the person who taught you is also mediocre."

This kid's Soul Ring Devouring Technique is essentially the same as the Soul Ring Explosion Technique; both involve fully activating the energy of the Soul Ring, pouring it into the body, and unleashing its full power.

However, this kid's cultivation level is too low. He doesn't understand the unity of weapon and spirit. In addition, this strange martial spirit is far beyond his own cultivation level. It's fine to use it normally, but after it is enhanced through special means, the power of this blood spear exceeds the kid's control limit!

If it weren't for his powerful physique, the backlash from his soul power alone would have been enough to give him a hard time!
