In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 306 The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall finally appears in the world, and he is actually... a one-ring Soul Master?!

"Your Excellency, look over there!"

Just then, a cardinal from the Spirit Hall reached the mountaintop, and someone behind him couldn't help but point to the village below.

It wasn't a river of blood, but corpses littered the ground. The heads of the bodies were mostly twisted in an inhuman state, with only a few having bloody holes in their chests, as if they had been casually and violently smashed by a ruthless butcher with his fist.

"Am I still too late...?"

Seeing this, the cardinal frowned, then his gaze narrowed slightly.

"No, it's more accurate to say that we were a step too late."

As he said this, the Cardinal quickly led a group of Spirit Hall personnel down the hill and blocked the entrance to the village, surrounding Tang Hao.

Tang Hao clenched his fists, a hint of murderous intent involuntarily flashing in his eyes.

He really wanted to kill people right now, to kill all these clueless guys in front of him!

But in the end, he lowered his hands.

For the sake of the Haotian Sect.

"Get out of my way if you don't want to die!"

His deep voice rang out at that moment.

"Who exactly are you?"

The cardinal took a slight step forward to greet Tang Hao, summoning his martial soul and holding it in his hand. At the same time, seven soul rings rose from beneath him, symbolizing his Soul Saint cultivation.

"I can't even see your exact level of cultivation. You shouldn't be unknown."

"Not leaving?"

However, Tang Hao did not seem inclined to answer him; he simply shrugged slightly.

As a Title Douluo, he was naturally capable of walking on air, but he did not want to reveal his Title Douluo cultivation unless necessary.

But now that this Soul Saint who couldn't be killed was being so persistent, he had no choice but to reveal himself. Anyway, he had already completed his third test, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he wouldn't need to do this kind of thing again, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

In that case, even if the Spirit Hall suspects that he is "Day Douluo," as long as he hides on the continent for a period of time, and given that he has never revealed his Clear Sky Hammer spirit from beginning to end, this matter will likely be dropped.

Tang Hao's plan was well-thought-out. Without hesitation, he unleashed his powerful soul force and soared into the air under the astonished gazes of everyone present.

"A...a Title Douluo?!"

Upon hearing this, the cardinal trembled slightly as he spoke.

"How could such a being appear here? How could it do such a thing?"

"Who exactly are you... Your Majesty?"

Hearing the cardinal's barely concealed fear below, Tang Hao felt a surge of satisfaction, but still didn't intend to explain.

Perhaps eager to leave to see the rewards of the third trial and the contents of the fourth trial, or perhaps because he had a bad feeling for some reason, Tang Hao channeled his soul power and was about to leave.

Even though he is a powerful and strength-type Title Douluo, and theoretically not very good at speed, he has experienced being chased by the Spirit Hall to the point of having nowhere to run or hide. His escape speed is definitely not slow. At least a mere Soul Saint-level cardinal could not catch up with him.

No, even calling him a "chase" would be giving him too much credit. A mere Soul Saint daring to pursue and kill a Title Douluo? That's utter nonsense.

Not to mention he was the mighty Haotian Douluo, oops, I mean Haotian Douluo. Even those two from the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum and Little Ghost, didn't dare to chase after him when he was seriously injured.

The Spirit Hall is nothing but a bunch of cowards.

Tang Hao thought disdainfully.

As expected, below, all the Spirit Hall Soul Masters could only watch Tang Hao's back with longing eyes, including the Cardinal.

After all, the deterrent power of a Title Douluo-level expert is still too great.

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

Just as the entire place fell silent, another figure suddenly appeared on the distant hill.

Tang Hao, who was about to leave, paused upon hearing the sound. In that instant, he was struck by a gray energy attack that flew from a distance. The attack was arc-shaped, like a crescent moon, or like a sharp, exposed blade.

The gray light blade disappeared after striking Tang Hao, leaving only a thick aura of death lingering on him. This aura was peculiar; it wasn't cold, but rather gave one a sense of warmth, followed by a chilling sensation.

What on earth is this...?!

Tang Hao lowered his head slightly, looking at the bloodstain on his strong, rough body, and the unknown chaotic energy that faintly appeared at the wound after the bloodstain was made, his eyes were full of disbelief.

This speed, this attack... Could it be that another Title Douluo has appeared here!

But how is that possible?

This is just a small village far from the city center. Even Soul Emperors usually don't bother to visit it. How could a Title Douluo happen to pass by? It's even less likely to be a powerful figure from the Spirit Hall, right?

This form of attack seems quite unfamiliar; at least Tang Hao couldn't recall any known Title Douluo powerhouse from his memory.

Just as Tang Hao was filled with doubt, the cardinal below exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly, the person on the hilltop stepped into the void and appeared in front of Tang Hao in an instant, blocking his way and standing above the cardinal below.

Only then did everyone catch a glimpse of his appearance. He was completely hidden under a wide black robe, with a faint gray mist surrounding him, obscuring his figure and face. Only a few strands of gray hair could be vaguely seen hanging down from under the hood, making him appear somewhat ethereal and mysterious, which inevitably reminded people of the Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall.

However, he was clearly not Ghost Douluo, because he was holding a long and sharp scythe in his hand, which was undoubtedly his martial soul.

However, most of the people's attention was not on these matters at the moment; their eyes were more focused on the soul ring that was slowly rising from the feet of the gray-haired man holding a scythe.

That was an unprecedented gray soul ring.

And besides that, there was nothing else.

He actually possessed only one spirit ring!

What the hell?! Is he a one-ring Soul Master?!

Many people, including Tang Hao, had this thought flash through their minds first, but they quickly dismissed it.

How could a one-ring Soul Master who could injure a Title Douluo from a distance and stand on the edge of the void at the first encounter... possibly exist in this world!

Just then, something seemed to suddenly fall from the "One-Ring Soul Master" and land straight down on the Cardinal below.

The cardinal hesitated for only a moment before reaching out and taking the object—a token.

He looked at the pupils and was instantly terrified.

"Who are you……"

"The legendary Holy Son?!"
