Chapter 432: Hao Tian Douluo? He probably won't be coming again in this lifetime_1

```

Boom!

A tremendous explosion sounded, and wild waves of energy radiated outwards in all directions, causing the loft to collapse instantly under the force of the colossal energy.

Blood trickled down Xu Ran's palm.

"Xu Ran, how are you? Are you hurt?" Bai Chenxiang's expression changed slightly, looking at Xu Ran with concern.

"It's not me, it's him." Xu Ran smiled, saying that all four major clans pursued the extreme attribute path. The Soul Rings of the Titan were all added to strength. When it came to pure strength, even among the Titled Douluo, he could be considered incredibly strong.

"Huh?" Bai Chenxiang cocked her head, looking at Xu Ran with a silly expression. Seeing the relaxed smile that emerged at the corner of Xu Ran's mouth, she suddenly understood.

The blood wasn't his, didn't that mean the Clan Leader of the Strength Clan, Titan, was at a disadvantage against Xu Ran?

Hiss!

This was the strongest member of the four major clans!

And he lost to Xu Ran in terms of strength?

"How about that? I didn't lie to you. Even if a Titled Douluo came, they wouldn't be my match. With me here, no one can bully you, nor can anyone take you away from me." Xu Ran said, showing off while not forgetting to set the mood and add a bit of fun to the situation.

"Liar, you're clearly very strong, yet you pretend..." Bai Chenxiang's heart was in disarray under Xu Ran's glance. Thinking back to how Xu Ran pretended to be poisoned by Tang San, if Xu Ran was so powerful, how could he be easily poisoned? And even if he was poisoned, how could he possibly need her to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?

Damn liar, even tricking her into giving away her first kiss.

Wuu wuu.

Even though she now knew Xu Ran had previously tricked her, she didn't feel the slightest dislike for him. If it weren't for Xu Ran, she might still be deceived by Tang San without knowing it, not aware if she had been sold.

Even though Xu Ran was very shameless, he was very kind to her, casually giving her an attached soul bone. Moreover, this was a gift Xu Ran had prepared especially for her, which he'd obtained after a bloody battle in the Aquipeia Forest (Xu Ran never said this; it was all Bai Chenxiang's speculative embellishment).

"I did it all for your sake. Tang San is too despicable and sneaky." Xu Ran smiled, knowing that women don't care about the process, they only care whether you're truly doing it for their sake. As long as you're smooth with words, no matter what you do, if you say it's for her good, you'll make her happy. That's the art of language.

This was also why when the same thing was done by two different people, the outcomes could be drastically different. Obviously, Tang San was still too naïve.

If Tang San kept babbling nonsense, don't blame him for directly presenting Tang Hao's head as a lesson on how to behave.

"Such terrifying strength." Titan stepped back, his fist dripping with blood, staring at Xu Ran with horror and disbelief on his face. He couldn't imagine that Xu Ran's strength had reached such a level. Was this really still just a young man?

Both were super geniuses of similar age, yet why was Xu Ran so much stronger than Tang San?

"What? Thinking of acknowledging me as your master? What's so good about Tang San anyway?" Xu Ran teased, looking at Titan.

Those with great strength were usually simple-minded. Titan served Tang Hao and such a man would be steadfast, not betraying his master under normal circumstances.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? You're nothing in front of my master."

"My master, Hao Tian Douluo, is a hero of a generation."

Titan snorted coldly, his Great Strength Gorilla Martial Soul bursting forth with boundless strength. His explosive muscles were exposed as his upper clothing shattered, and standing on the flagstone floor, the pavement cracked beneath his feet.

"Tang Hao, that waste?" Xu Ran pursed his lips and smiled, holding Bai Chenxiang and leaping into the air, quickly flashing behind Titan, and with a kick, sent him sprawling to the ground.

```

"Shock of Strength!"

"Go to hell, how dare you address my lord by name?"

Titan roared loudly, his fists hammering the ground fiercely, causing endless gravel to surge violently towards Xu Ran.

The Hao Tian Hammer possessed limitless strength, and Tang Hao, as a master of the Big Xumi Hammer and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique and the youngest Titled Douluo of the entire Continent, was a person he admired immensely. For this reason, other clans held some resentment towards the Hao Tian Clan, but he would never betray the Hao Tian Clan or Tang Hao, no matter what.

His extreme faith in strength meant he held an almost crazed admiration for the Hao Tian Clan and Tang Hao.

Xu Ran remained silent, moving with agility, avoiding every punch from Titan. It was Titan who ended up gasping for breath. It was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.

Tired of the game, Xu Ran stopped toying with him and kicked him to the ground, forcefully keeping him pinned down.

This scene left Bai He and Tang San completely dumbfounded. That the Great Strength King could be played with like a child by Xu Ran was beyond belief. Witnessing Xu Ran's ferocity, Tang San swallowed hard. Xu Ran's strength was much greater than he had imagined—currently even if others joined him, they wouldn't be a match for Xu Ran.

Bai He, too, was flabbergasted and trembling. He had thought Xu Ran's strength was at most between a Soul Emperor to Soul Sage, but... this was obviously far more potent than he had anticipated. Being able to toy with Titan so effortlessly meant he must have reached the pinnacle of Soul Land.

This is it; he's finished. He had just openly mocked such a powerhouse—wasn't that just seeking death?

He had been nonchalant just moments ago, but now thinking it through, if such a person got annoyed, he could wipe out the Min Clan with a flick of his wrist. Taino was trounced by Xu Ran; what was the Min Clan in comparison?

They were merely known for speed; fighting was not their forte.

"So this is the so-called God of Strength? Not much to behold, after all." Xu Ran put Bai Chenxiang on the ground, who, feeling sympathy, tugged at Xu Ran's sleeve, hoping to plead for mercy for Titan.

Xu Ran turned around and gave Bai Chenxiang a reassuring look.

"If you have the guts, let me go. I'll kill you, and when my master arrives and finds out you've bullied me, bullied the Young Master, he will definitely make you pay," Titan raved.

Being defeated so easily by Xu Ran left him incredibly angry and helpless.

"Young Master? Are you referring to Tang San?" Xu Ran glanced at Tang San and slapped him across the face.

"As for your master, Tang Hao... He won't be able to come even if he wanted to in this lifetime."

"What do you mean? What happened to my master?" Titan's face changed, looking at Xu Ran in horror with a bad feeling in his heart.

"Xu Ran, what nonsense are you spouting? My father, Hao Tian Douluo, is a powerful figure of this era, a true hero." Tang San, holding his face, was dumbstruck as he looked at Xu Ran's smiling visage, with a lump forming in his throat.

Could it be something had befallen his father?

What exactly had Xu Ran done to his father?

Now that he had subdued the four Great Clans, he was only wearing his father's mantle. If his father had indeed met with an unfortunate fate, how could the four Great Clans willingly submit to someone as junior as him?

"This ring, I'm sure you recognize it." Xu Ran didn't say much, simply pulling out the ancient storage soul tool that belonged to Tang Hao. Under the moonlight, the ring shimmered with a silvery glow.

Seeing this ring, Bai He and Titan, both old subordinates of Tang Hao, were taken aback, their bodies stiffening. Tang San, though unfamiliar with the ring, could guess that it was perhaps a relic of his father's. No, it couldn't be a relic; his father was Hao Tian Douluo, and nothing could have happened to him—absolutely nothing. But if something had indeed happened, then what would he do?

Without the support of the four Great Clans, he would become an orphan once again!

Tang San's mindset was in turmoil as he stared intently at Xu Ran.
