They were compiling a diary in Douluo Continent, and they were completely fooled.

Why are you two so afraid of me? Answer me!

Tang Hao's tiger eyes widened, and the terrifying aura of the Haotian Douluo was instantly unleashed, pressing down on Flander and Zhao Wuji like a mountain.

Flander and Zhao Wuji felt as if they could clearly hear their hearts pounding, and even seemed to smell the breath of death.

They both wanted to explain, but when the words reached their lips, they couldn't utter a sound.

The reason this happened was because they knew very well that once Tang Hao found out that Tang San had absorbed a ten-year soul ring, they would be crippled even if they didn't die.

Even though Tang Hao has been gone for many years, the fearsome reputation of this Haotian Douluo has never faded away.

However, the more silent Flander and Zhao Wuji remained, the stronger Tang Hao's ominous premonition became.

Just as he was about to give the two guys a good beating before questioning them, Yu Xiaogang quickly reached out and stopped him.

"Wait a moment, Haotian Douluo, let me explain it to you."

Tang Hao gave Flanders and the other man a deep look, then looked at Yu Xiaogang with a gloomy expression and asked in a deep voice.

"What exactly happened? Did the mistress encounter an accident?"

Yu Xiaogang's mind raced, and he looked at Tang Hao with a sincere expression as he began to speak.

They knew that Tang Hao would discover Tang San's ten-year spirit ring sooner or later, and as long as Tang Hao wasn't blind, this matter couldn't be kept secret.

However, for the sake of their lives, Yu Xiaogang had discussed it several times with Flander and Zhao Wuji and had already prepared to collude on their testimonies.

They wanted to shift all the blame onto Luo Ye to prevent Tang Hao from killing them both in a fit of rage.

When Tang Hao heard Yu Xiaogang say that Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul had absorbed three ten-year soul rings, he finally understood where the ominous premonition in his heart had come from.

Only those useless spirit masters with no future will absorb a ten-year spirit ring.

Only someone from a commoner background, without any help from anyone, could possibly absorb a ten-year-level spirit ring as their first spirit ring.

For example, Yu Xiaogang, who is a world-renowned good-for-nothing, has two martial souls that are both yellow and represent the hundred-year level.

Tang Hao never dared to imagine that Tang San would absorb ten-year spirit rings, and even four at once, which almost completely negated the advantage of having twin spirit rings.

It's important to know that Tang Hao had always placed all his hopes on Tang San.

The reason he didn't give Tang San a friendly look back then was because he felt that something was wrong with Tang San, who was practicing a mysterious technique that even he had never seen before at such a young age.

Moreover, he has always been very mature in his mind, unlike a normal child.

It wasn't until Tang San awakened his martial soul, and even possessed both the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer martial souls, that Tang Hao saw hope for the revitalization of the Clear Sky Sect in him. That's why he changed his previous attitude and truly treated him as his own son.

Tang Hao had always hoped that Tang San could become the strongest person in Douluo Continent, make up for the mistakes he had made, and make the Clear Sky Sect great again.

But now he heard this terrible news from Yu Xiaogang, which was like a bolt from the blue for Tang Hao.

"Huhu. Huh."

Tang Hao's chest heaved rapidly as he gasped for breath, his eyes turning bloodshot as rage overwhelmed his reason.

"Luo Ye, Luo Ye, where is that guy now?"

Upon sensing the palpable killing intent in Tang Hao's eyes, Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang were all involuntarily frightened and took two steps back.

"Gudong."

Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty.

“I know you’re very angry right now, but I hope you can calm down and be more rational.”

"Rationality? My son is almost as useless as you, and you're telling me to be rational?"

Tang Hao glared fiercely at Yu Xiaogang, and began to resent him as well.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically when he heard the other person call him a piece of trash.

But he knew he absolutely couldn't anger Tang Hao right now, so he suppressed his anger and explained.

"We don't know where Luo Ye is either. He disappeared after that trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Tang Hao desperately wanted to vent his anger and hatred, but now that Luo Ye was nowhere to be found, he could only take it out on Flander and Zhao Wuji.

Chapter 97 Tang Hao's Madness, Yu Xiaogang's Lies

Tang Hao released his martial spirit, gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, and gritted his teeth as he spoke to Zhao Wuji.

"As the leader of the Soul Hunting Operation, not only did you fail to find a suitable Soul Ring for Xiao San, but your dereliction of duty even caused him to absorb a ten-year Soul Ring. You deserve to die."

The terrifying soul power filled the entire room, making the surrounding air seem viscous, causing Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang to have difficulty breathing.

Looking at the enormous head of the Haotian Hammer, Zhao Wuji was terrified and didn't even have the courage to run away.

However, Tang Hao did not make a move directly. Instead, he turned his gaze to Flander and said with equally furious eyes.

"As the dean of Shrek Academy, you entrusted the task of helping students hunt for spirit rings to Zhao Wuji and then ignored it. You are equally responsible in this matter and deserve to die just like him."

The Flemish people are numb.

He wanted to say something in his defense, but he didn't know how to begin.

Moreover, Flander was well aware that the more he said now, the more mistakes he would make, and that making excuses for himself would only make Tang Hao angrier.

Just as Tang Hao was about to kill Flander and Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

"Haotian Douluo, although they do bear some responsibility in this matter, Luo Ye is the real culprit. They don't deserve to die."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao laughed in anger, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Yu Xiaogang and spoke each word clearly.

"I almost forgot about you, you piece of trash."

Feeling Tang Hao's gaze, which seemed to want to devour him, Yu Xiaogang felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment. He couldn't even care less about his anger at Tang Hao for calling him a piece of trash.

Tang Hao showed no mercy to Yu Xiaogang and continued speaking fiercely.

"Don't think I don't know. The reason your mistress came to this garbage academy is because you recommended her."

"If you hadn't made him give up other advanced academies and come here, how could he have absorbed four ten-year spirit rings?"

"Yu Xiaogang, you piece of trash, you're the one who deserves to die the most!"

Tang Hao grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, until he was almost insane. He could no longer care about anything else and directly picked up the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it at Yu Xiaogang in front of him.

Upon seeing his actions, Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt that he was going to die here today.

He was just a level 29 Soul Master. With Tang Hao's power as the Haotian Douluo, even a casual hammer blow could shatter him to pieces.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Flander used his fastest speed ever to push Yu Xiaogang out and take the blow from Tang Hao in his place.

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, the terrifying power emanating from the Haotian Hammer slammed Flander into the ground.

The surrounding land cracked open, and dust and sand flew everywhere.

Flander's act of risking his life to save Yu Xiaogang not only failed to move Tang Hao, but instead made him even angrier.

"You want to put on a show of brotherhood in front of me? I'll teach you a lesson in brotherhood!"

Tang Hao kept swinging his Clear Sky Hammer at Flander, causing him to slowly sink deeper into the ground.

Even though he was in excruciating pain all over his body, Flander gritted his teeth and endured it, without any courage or thought of resisting.

Seeing that Flander's condition was becoming increasingly dangerous, Zhao Wuji mustered his courage and pounced on him.

"This is all my fault, it has nothing to do with Boss Fu, you can kill me if you want."

In Tang Hao's mind, Zhao Wuji's responsibility in this matter was second only, and his killing intent towards him was only slightly lower than that towards Luo Ye.

Tang Hao hadn't even attacked him directly, and now that he dared to ask for death, Tang Hao really wouldn't mind granting his wish.

Enraged, Tang Hao swung his hammer at Zhao Wuji without hesitation, but this only resulted in two muffled groans.

Flanders really wanted to swear.

It's unclear whether Zhao Wuji wanted to protect him or drag him down with him.

Keep in mind that Zhao Wuji is currently pressing down on Flander, so if Tang Hao hits him, it's like hitting two people at once.

Yu Xiaogang, who was standing to the side, became extremely anxious after he noticed that Flander and Zhao Wuji's breathing was gradually becoming weaker.

In order to save their lives, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and shouted.

"stop!"

Tang Hao subconsciously stopped and turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.

His crazed appearance left Yu Xiaogang with no doubt that if he couldn't come up with a suitable excuse, he would be killed along with Flander and Zhao Wuji.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and told Tang Hao a colossal lie.

"I once read a record in a book that said you could remove all your spirit rings and reabsorb even more powerful spirit rings."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao regained some clarity.

However, even a fool could tell that Yu Xiaogang was talking nonsense, so he picked up the Haotian Hammer, pointed it at Yu Xiaogang, and said coldly.

"It seems you want to die before the two of them."

As he spoke, he strode toward Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang forced himself to remain calm and spoke rapidly.

"I saw this record in the Spirit Hall's archives. That archive contains a lot of information about the experiences of the Spirit Hall's powerful figures throughout history."

"You know the true strength of the Spirit Hall, so this matter cannot be false."

Tang Hao stopped in his tracks, unsure whether or not to trust Yu Xiaogang.

The Spirit Hall's heritage is much older than any other sect or family on the Douluo Continent. If Yu Xiaogang really saw this record in the Spirit Hall's collection of books, it might actually be true.

"You think I'll believe you based on just that one sentence?"

Yu Xiaogang knew that he couldn't convince Tang Hao without presenting some solid evidence, so after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said.

"The ten core competitive advantages of martial souls that I proposed were found in that book."

"But in order to change other people's opinion of me, I took the experience summarized by the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall over the generations and published it without authorization, which is why I got the title of Grandmaster."

Yu Xiaogang looked deeply at Flander and Zhao Wuji, who were embedded in the ground, his heart filled with resentment.

In order to save the lives of these two guys, he even went so far as to admit that he had plagiarized the experience and conclusions summarized by the predecessors of the Spirit Hall.
