Chapter 17: Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a Tiger, Tang Hao? Also Beaten!
"Hmm? That kid's aura suddenly disappeared. What's going on?" Tang Hao's brow furrowed slightly.
This felt very strange to him. Not even if he were hiding inside a building—within a few hundred meters, there was no way anyone could escape his sensing range.
And a six-year-old child, disappearing like this within his range?
There was only one explanation for this: the other party had hidden their aura, but how could a six-year-old child do that?
At this moment, Tang Hao saw Ye Wen, in his half-human form as the Sea Soul Beast King, walking out of the restaurant, holding hands with Xie Hu and Xiao Bai.
"Could it be him?" Tang Hao stared at Ye Wen, concealed under a blue robe. The only thing he could think of was that this man in the blue robe must have used some method to hide Ye Wen's aura.
"Forget it, first let me teach them a lesson, then I'll deal with that kid later." Tang Hao's expression turned cold, "Anyone who dares to touch my son, regardless of who they are, I'll hammer them today."
Under the blue robe, Ye Wen's face revealed a faint sneer. He had already sensed Tang Hao's presence with his mental power. "Heh, Tang Hao, it really is you!"
"Interesting, today let me experience the power of your Haotian Hammer."
As long as the Sea Soul Beast's half-human form concealed its appearance, even a Title Douluo-level expert wouldn't be able to discern its beast soul form.
Because even the brief transformation of a Sea Soul Beast was still a transformation!
Once a 100,000-year-old soul beast reached level 60, its beast aura would nearly be completely hidden, making it impossible for even a Title Douluo-level expert to detect. (I forget if it's level 60 or 70 that conceals the aura, if anyone knows, let me know so I can adjust it.)
After the Sea Soul Beast's brief transformation, its power remains intact, and although its strength is reduced by 30%, its energy has long surpassed level 60, completely masking the beast's aura.
The only thing that could still be noticed was that the Sea Soul Beast's brief transformation didn't exactly resemble a human being. (This is a slight adjustment of the setting, but realistically, it's not a change of the original setting, since the original didn't mention if a Title Douluo could detect the beast soul's aura without seeing the appearance.)
Additionally, in everyone's perception, once a soul beast transforms, it's impossible to return to its beast form. So, Tang Hao would never think that the half-human form and the human form were the same person.
Tang Hao would think that the half-human form was a powerful being behind Ye Wen, maybe a father or something like that.
Rest!
Ye Wen suddenly increased his speed, pulling Xie Hu and Xiao Bai as he ran.
"Heh." Tang Hao sneered and immediately chased after him.
Soon, Ye Wen led Tang Hao into a secluded forest in Notting City. Before Ye Wen could stop, Tang Hao was already blocking his path.
"Stop." Tang Hao said with a domineering expression.
"Heh, it's time to show off my years of superb acting skills," Ye Wen said with a barely noticeable smile, then suddenly changed to a look of panic and fear. "Who are you? What do you want? Why have you been following us all the way here?"
"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that now you will suffer."
Tang Hao was extremely domineering, walking forward with an aura of strength already surrounding him.
Tang Hao guessed that the person in front of him, who could hide the aura of a child, probably had some strength, but in his eyes, he was just someone who wouldn't withstand a few of his hammer strikes.
"Wait! Sir, please don't attack, let's talk this through!" Ye Wen said with fear in his voice.
Feeling Ye Wen's fear, Tang Hao sneered even more, saying in a domineering tone, "Talk? Get over here and take your beating!"
"No! No, please!"
"Heh."
Tang Hao's fist came crashing down. Just when he thought he could knock Ye Wen down with a single punch...
Suddenly, an immense and terrifying aura and power rose from Ye Wen's body. The fear on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a smile.
"How is this possible! This guy...!"
And now it was Tang Hao who felt the fear. His face showed signs of shock!
"Take a beating? The one who's about to take a beating is you."
Ye Wen condensed his terrifying energy and, with a single punch, struck Tang Hao's face.
"Get out of here!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Uwaaaa!!"
Tang Hao let out an incredibly painful scream as his body shot through the air like a rocket, flying hundreds of meters.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His body slammed into several large trees before crashing to the ground.
Tang Hao was stunned. In his mind, wasn't it Ye Wen who should have been blasted away by one punch? Why was it him instead?
"I told you, we could have talked, but you insisted on attacking. Now, are you stunned?"
Looking at the approaching figure, Tang Hao no longer had any trace of his previous domineering demeanor. He only looked at Ye Wen with deep wariness because he felt the thick energy coming from Ye Wen. The energy level was terrifying—greater than his own!
"Ha!"
Tang Hao quickly summoned his Haotian Hammer martial soul, and nine soul rings appeared.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Haotian Body!"
A huge humanoid shadow appeared behind Tang Hao, holding the enormous Haotian Hammer.
The Haotian Hammer is known for its domineering nature, hailed as the strongest weapon martial soul in the world. When it comes to dominance, power, and explosive force, it is indeed the strongest in the entire Soul Master world today. Tang Hao himself is also an incredibly domineering figure.
Once the martial soul true body was released, an aura of dominance enveloped the entire area.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Sky-Shattering Strike!"
With an incredibly terrifying force, Tang Hao swung his hammer.
Though he was only level 95, even a Title Douluo at level 97 wouldn't want to face Tang Hao head-on.
"Not bad, Tang Hao. You really live up to your name! But unfortunately, in front of me, you are just weak!" Ye Wen stood firm, arms crossed.
He acknowledged that Tang Hao was strong, but his strength was far inferior to the Sea Soul Beast King's.
In the next moment, two hammers appeared in Ye Wen's hands.
Ye Wen gripped the Eight-Pointed Plum Blossom Hammer and showed no intention of dodging, swinging the hammer right at Tang Hao.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Haotian Hammer and the Eight-Pointed Plum Blossom Hammer collided head-on.
Terrifying energy exploded like an avalanche, sending a gust of wind and shaking the trees in the entire forest. The earth itself seemed to tremble.
The power from both sides was terrifying.
But just a few seconds later, Tang Hao's strength was instantly suppressed by Ye Wen.
Dominance!? The energy reserves of the Sea Soul Beast King, with close to a million years of cultivation, were the true embodiment of dominance!
Boom! Boom!
Tang Hao was once again blasted away by Ye Wen. Ye Wen immediately dashed forward, and before Tang Hao's body had even reached the ground, Ye Wen was already above him.
"Where did your domineering aura go just now? Keep being arrogant!"
Ye Wen swung his hammer down with full force.
Boom!
Psshh!
"Ahhhhhh!!"
