Douluo Continent: Blue Overlord

Chapter 53 Standoff and Deal

"What? You hit the kid, and now the older one wants to stand up for him?"

After being transformed into a dragon, Yu Tiancheng's voice had a unique hoarse quality, making his sarcastic remarks even more effective.

"Insolence!" Tang Hao's eyes suddenly flashed red light as he released his Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. His aura surged, and a dark red energy burst forth from his body.

Flander, who was closest to Tang Hao, trembled uncontrollably and took five or six steps back before regaining his balance.

Yu Tiancheng felt an extremely strong killing intent, his body felt pressure, his consciousness became somewhat blurred, and the circulation of his soul power became sluggish.

He was thankful that his fifth soul skill and dragon transformation gave him extremely strong resistance to abnormal statuses; otherwise, he would have made a fool of himself in public.

"Is this the God of Slaughter Domain? I'd only say it's so-so," Yu Tiancheng said defiantly.

Tang Hao didn't expect that the Killing God Domain couldn't suppress this kid, so he immediately pushed the Killing God Domain to its limit.

But Yu Tiancheng only trembled slightly, and then it didn't have much of an effect.

On the contrary, the Shrek Academy students were affected by the residual killing intent, and their bodies unconsciously fell to the ground, their eyes showing fear.

Tang Hao lost face and was about to teach them a lesson when...

Two figures appeared in front of Yu Tiancheng in an instant, each with eight soul rings rising from their bodies, and two powerful soul energies erupted.

What's even more peculiar is that these two soul energies, one mixed with golden arcs of electricity and the other with purplish-black arcs of electricity, merged together to form a purplish-gold field that repelled the dark red energy.

The visitors were Wang Zhi, Yu Tiancheng's father, and Yu Xiaohong, his mother.

Tang Hao's pupils suddenly contracted. As a Title Douluo, he was naturally not afraid of two Soul Douluos.

However, the thunderous soul power emanating from the two people in front of them was actually attracting each other and showing signs of merging and flowing.

He immediately realized that the two possessed a spirit fusion skill, and that the fusion degree of their spirits was extremely high.

Tang Hao wasn't confident of victory, and even if he won, he wouldn't gain anything. Moreover, if the other party wanted to leave, he would most likely be unable to keep them.

Yu Xiaohong, with her fiery temper, spoke first: "Tang Hao! Have you no shame! You even want to interfere in the juniors' duels! Has the Haotian Sect fallen to this level?"

Tang Hao's face instantly turned ashen, the veins on his hand gripping the Clear Sky Hammer bulged, and nine spirit rings appeared on his body, unleashing the full power of a Title Douluo.

He has never been a good-tempered person, but he has become more restrained after experiencing more setbacks. Once he gets angry, he doesn't care about anything else.

Upon seeing this, the Shrek instructors immediately led their students in a collective retreat.

At this moment, on the roof of a house on the edge of the village, Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan used binoculars to observe the situation inside Shrek Academy.

Xiao Wu looked pale, and her body swayed slightly.

Six years passed, and the two grew up together. She never imagined that Tang San would actually have a Title Douluo by his side.

Although Yu Tiancheng had mentioned it several days ago, she had always been skeptical, but now she saw it for herself.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but recall Tang San's vow from back then, and only then did she realize the problem: how could a 6-year-old child say such things! Someone must have taught him!

Deception! Xiao Wu suddenly realized that she had been living a deception all along. Dugu Yan noticed Xiao Wu's unusual behavior and asked, "Are you alright?"

Yu Xiaohong and Wang Zhi went to confront Tang Hao, so the task of guarding Xiao Wu naturally fell to Dugu Yan.

Because Dugu Yan decided to transform into a lightning-type soul master, she did not choose poison-attribute soul rings for her third and fourth soul rings.

The selection of spirit rings is generally based on the characteristics of the martial soul, aiming to strengthen it further.

If the Azure Serpent martial soul is augmented with soul rings that grant attributes such as strength, attack, and defense, it may not necessarily yield a good soul ring.

Aside from the toxins, speed is its only advantage.

Therefore, Yu Tiancheng suggested choosing a lightning-attribute soul beast with extremely high speed, and as he expected, he obtained two speed-boosting soul skills.

Dugu Yan, at level 45, is extremely fast and can easily overpower Xiao Wu, a level 30 Soul Master.

Xiao Wu did not answer Dugu Yan's question, but instead used the telescope again to continue observing the situation inside the academy.

Inside the academy, Tang Hao, with his remaining rationality, said, "My son lost the bet because he's incompetent, and I naturally won't bully the weak. But the matter of insulting the Clear Sky Sect cannot be left like this!"

Wang Zhi stepped forward and asked, "So what do you want?"

The couple came solely to have Tang Hao display his Title Douluo strength, thus ending Xiao Wu's hopes.

Xiao Wu's son, Yu Tiancheng, said that Tang San was Xiao Wu's only friend among humans. If it was proven that Tang San had a problem, Xiao Wu would have nowhere to go in human society.

Having achieved his goal, he no longer wanted to actually take action.

Seeing that there was room for negotiation, Tang Hao's anger subsided somewhat. He pointed at Yu Tiancheng and said, "Tell me the secret of absorbing a spirit ring beyond the required age!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi communicated with Yu Tiancheng through the Xinwang (Heart Network) to ask for his opinion.

Yu Tiancheng's spirit rings are too conspicuous; it's impossible for them to remain hidden forever, especially since he also has to participate in the Elite Tournament.

Therefore, they had made preparations in advance and revealed it at the crucial moment to prevent the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan from becoming the target of public criticism.

Yu Tiancheng transmitted his voice: "It can be said, but not easily. Make a trade with him. Use the Thunder Body Forging Technique to exchange for Tang San's special soul power circulation method, his miraculous footwork, and that eye training method."

Wang Zhi understood and told Tang Hao his exchange request.

Tang Hao was immediately tempted. In his opinion, although Tang San's techniques were amazing, they were only useful for low-level Soul Masters.

It's not like it's a secret technique of his Haotian Sect, there's nothing that can't be exchanged.

"Okay, I..." Tang Hao agreed immediately.

"Father! No!" Tang San cried out in alarm when he saw his father about to agree.

Tang San silently recited the Tang Clan's rules, vowing never to pass them on to outsiders.

"Hmm!" Tang Hao simply glared at Tang San with a stern look.

Tang San immediately wilted. He thought to himself that if he wanted to strengthen the Tang Clan in the new world, he had to stand at the top of the world first. Exchanging the secret manual for the secret of absorbing soul rings beyond the years should be worthwhile.

Everything is for the sake of strengthening the Tang Clan!

After considering this, Tang San said, "We can exchange them, but only one type!"

Tang Hao nodded, about to agree.

But Yu Tiancheng on the other side was not happy.

"Nonsense! I would consider it a huge loss even if it was 1 for 3, let alone the fact that you lost the bet to me in one way, plus your Haotian Sect's Soul-Exploding Secret Technique."

Both sides now have the intention to exchange, and the next step is negotiation. Yu Tiancheng doesn't know much about negotiation, but he has some understanding of the art of trading, among which the principle of applying maximum pressure is simple and effective.

Tang Hao immediately flew into a rage: "Kid! Are you dreaming?!"

Yu Tiancheng retorted and analyzed, "How could I be dreaming?"

The secret of my spirit ring is a top-tier cultivation method that can benefit you for a lifetime!

Tang San's skills were useful at lower levels, but became useless after level 50.

Asking you to use your advanced skill, the Ring Explosion, isn't unreasonable!

Tang Hao wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to begin.

They even found the other party's analysis to be reasonable, since a higher level of spirit ring age also means that a spirit master can reach a higher limit.
