Chapter 18 Tang Hao is like a stray dog
"Ahhhhhh!"
The scream echoed through the forest, as Tang Hao's body slammed harshly into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The ground was smashed, leaving a large crater about a hundred meters wide. Tang Hao, covered in blood, lay in the pit, with dust rising around him.
"Such strength."
"Who exactly is he?"
"Are there such powerful beings on the continent? Why have I never heard of him?"
After this strike, Tang Hao was severely injured and filled with fear, but he didn't have time to lie there. He sensed that Ye Wen's attack was coming once again.
"Ha!"
Tang Hao roared, gathering all the strength he could muster to desperately block Ye Wen's attack.
Boom! Boom!
"A coward with no guts, no bravery, only knowing how to avoid. You're tough when facing the weak, but when you encounter someone you can't mess with, you act like trash!"
"I originally only intended to teach your son a lesson, but today, I'll teach you a lesson too!"
Ye Wen struck again, hitting Tang Hao with another devastating blow.
Tang Hao could be considered a qualified husband, but he was far from being a good man, a good family member, or a worthy successor of his sect.
If you look past the praise of the side characters, you might find Tang Hao quite unpleasant.
Ye Wen had never liked Tang Hao, and since they had crossed paths today, he wasn't going to let Tang Hao off so easily.
In fact, he could kill Tang Hao here!
Whoosh!
Boom! Boom!
Ye Wen struck again with a hammer-like force.
"Ahhh!"
Next, Tang Hao was trapped in Ye Wen's relentless assault, being hammered repeatedly with no ability to defend himself.
No matter how hard he used his soul skills, he couldn't suppress Ye Wen.
"No! I can't die here! I can't die, I refuse!!"
Tang Hao had too much to live for, too many things to protect, especially his son. Once a person has a strong desire to live, they fear death.
The terrifying power Ye Wen showed made Tang Hao's heart fill with dread.
"Seventh Soul Skill!"
Tang Hao's Ten Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor soul ring appeared, and the terrifying Seventh Soul Skill was unleashed.
"Eight-Pointed Overlord Hammer!"
Ye Wen showed no fear. The Eight-Pointed Plum Blossom Hammer in his hand glowed with wild red light.
This hammer move was a technique developed by the Deep Sea Magic Whale King using semi-divine weapons.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King's hammer skills had two main techniques—this one was one of them, with a stronger one waiting for a special condition.
The Eight-Pointed Plum Blossom Hammer, glowing with fierce red light, grew massive and met the attack of the Haotian Hammer head-on.
Boom! Boom!
This strike felt as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was shaking.
The surrounding space seemed to be affected by the terrifying energy, and Tang Hao's strength was once again overwhelmed by Ye Wen, as he was blasted hundreds of meters away.
Tang Hao was heavily injured again, and he didn't continue fighting. He couldn't bear any more of Ye Wen's attacks and decisively chose to escape after being blasted away.
"Trying to run?"
Ye Wen sensed his intention and immediately released the Magic Whale's Insight, summoning the Ice Crystal Cage, trapping Tang Hao once again.
"Great Sumeru Hammer!"
"Explosion Ring!!!"
Tang Hao quickly chose to activate the Explosion Ring. The enormous Haotian Hammer, empowered by the Explosion Ring, slammed into the Ice Crystal Cage and shattered a part of it.
Tang Hao quickly escaped through the hole just big enough for a human to pass, like a dog fleeing from its own house. He didn't dare stop for even a second and fled in panic.
Faced with Ye Wen's terrifying power, he chose to run again. Forget about avenging his son—he just wanted to survive!
Tang Hao frantically fled towards Notting City.
"The Explosion Ring is so powerful that it even shattered a piece of my Ice Crystal Cage," Ye Wen said in surprise. The Explosion Ring was truly a technique worthy of being called a divine skill.
He watched Tang Hao flee and shouted loudly, "Tang Hao! I won't go after your son now, but I advise you not to meddle with the younger generation anymore. If you do, I'll make sure that your son Tang San, you, and the Haotian Sect all go to hell!"
"Do you understand, Tang Hao?!"
Ye Wen's voice echoed in Tang Hao's ears. He knew that he had once again provoked someone he shouldn't have.
He etched Ye Wen's words deeply into his mind. With a hundred times the courage, he would never dare to trouble Ye Wen, or his son Tang San, or even Xie Hu and Xiao Bai, again!
Otherwise, not only would he harm Tang San, but he would also bring ruin to himself and the Haotian Sect.
Ye Wen didn't continue to chase. He could beat Tang Hao, but if Tang Hao insisted on running away, it wouldn't be easy to kill him.
Besides, with the half-human form, Ye Wen could only exist on land for 6 hours. He didn't have enough time to pursue and kill Tang Hao.
(Author's Note: Referencing the Soul Master Competition finals when Tang Hao fought and fled with Tang San and Xiao Wu. Even after Bibi Dong sent people to kill Da Ming and Er Ming, they couldn't kill them after half a month of chasing. So, a Title Douluo like Tang Hao, who gets a chance to escape and is focused on running away, isn't easy to kill.)
Ye Wen told Tang Hao that he wouldn't go after Tang San because he didn't want Tang Hao to worry about his son being killed. He didn't want Tang Hao to take Tang San away from Notting Academy and keep him nearby to train.
If Tang San left Notting Academy, his trajectory in life would change completely, heading in a direction Ye Wen couldn't predict.
It was highly likely that Tang San would grow faster and become stronger than if he stayed at Notting Academy under the guidance of Yu Xiaogang!
Tang Hao's teachings were far superior to Yu Xiaogang's!
What kind of person was Yu Xiaogang?
A scumbag who used Bibi Dong and gained status through a woman, securing a position as an elder in the Spirit Hall and copying large amounts of Spirit Hall knowledge to develop a half-baked theory of core competences.
Ye Wen acknowledged that Yu Xiaogang had some knowledge of martial soul theory, but it was very little—just a bit.
Through Spirit Hall's plagiarized martial soul theory, he had learned a little, but Yu Xiaogang's personal research in martial soul theory didn't reach that height.
Simply put, the knowledge he carried from Spirit Hall didn't match his own abilities, so his teachings were subpar.
At Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang trained the Seven Shrek Monsters by having them each carry a basket full of stones while running.
Was that really training monsters?
What was the difference between that and a construction worker carrying bricks?
Zhao Wujin's gravity field was the perfect method for physical training, and yet he chose to do this instead?
