Li Xunhuan

Tang Hao could no longer hold back after seeing Tang San get beaten up and his dirty secrets exposed in public. He had to step in and suppress the situation.

If he didn't, his reputation would be ruined, and Tang San's mental state would suffer a major blow, potentially crippling his future cultivation.

Xiao Wu's meeting with Tang San had been arranged by him in secret.

With his Title Douluo-level strength, the moment Xiao Wu appeared near him, he immediately sensed she was a reincarnated spirit beast.

So, he used certain methods to ensure she and Tang San interacted more, like having Xiao Wu attend the same beginner soul master academy or "accidentally" walk into the wrong dorm.

Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?

Back then, he had deceived Ah yin but underestimated Qian Xunji's strength.

He used Ah yin's sacrifice to absorb her power, instantly becoming the youngest Title Douluo in history and forcing Qian Xunji to retreat. But his body was left severely wounded, his mind fractured, and his soul power stagnated forever cutting off any hope of godhood. With the Spirit Hall hunting him, he had no choice but to hide in a remote village, recovering in secret.

Now, his son Tang San showed extraordinary talent, so he placed all his hopes on him.

After discovering Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, he decided to repeat his old tricks, manipulating events behind the scenes to recreate Ah yin's sacrificial scenario for Tang San's benefit.

How could an innocent, kind-hearted girl like Xiao Wu outwit a man who had spent decades navigating a world of deception?

If not for Lu Feng's interference, Tang Hao and Tang San would have succeeded.

Lu Feng knew that in the original story, Xiao Wu's sacrifice was almost an exact repeat of Ah yin's.

The same methods were used: exploiting the Spirit Hall, deliberately exposing the woman to powerful enemies, the man "heroically" blocking the way while holding back his full strength, then turning to fight when escape was impossible—all to stir emotions and manipulate the 100,000-year spirit beast into willingly sacrificing itself.

If Tang Hao truly wanted to save Ah yin with his life, he could have sacrificed himself for her instead.

Among the Clear Sky Clan's secret techniques, besides detonating soul rings, there was also the ability to detonate one's martial soul in sacrifice—but only between opposite genders.

Now, Lu Feng was sent flying by the shockwave from Tang Hao's aura, crashing into the academy's small forest.

He immediately activated the "Peerless Douluo Experience Card"!

[Randomly gain the power of a Peerless Douluo for 25 minutes.]

"Lu Feng, was it? Come out, kneel, and apologize. I might spare your life."

Tang Hao stood atop the academy's tower, unleashing the overwhelming pressure of a Title Douluo.

The entire academy trembled under his might. Students with weaker soul power couldn't withstand it and dropped to their knees.

"We pay our respects to His Excellency, the Clear Sky Douluo." Yu Xiaogang bowed deeply, his voice reverent.

"Your Excellency, please calm your anger—"

The headmaster, teachers, and students followed suit in fearful submission.

A thousand people bowed.

Pride swelled in Tang Hao's chest, but he knew he couldn't openly kill Lu Feng here.

Still, he could humiliate and suppress him, boosting Tang San's morale, restoring his confidence, and salvaging his own reputation.

Then—

Tang Hao's expression suddenly twisted as he sensed an unimaginably terrifying force ripping apart the pressure he had cast over the forest.

"A decades-old Title Douluo bullying a junior who just awakened his martial soul and you dare call yourself the Clear Sky Douluo?"

Lu Feng had transformed into a black-robed middle-aged man, stepping onto the air as he emerged from the trees.

He walked toward Tang Hao as if strolling on solid ground each step covering dozens of meters.

In an instant, he stood face-to-face with Tang Hao, hovering in the sky.

His gaze, sharp as a blade, pierced into Tang Hao with almost physical force.

And for the first time Tang Hao faltered, taking half a step back.

Tang Hao couldn't even withstand his gaze.

The difference in power was clear at a glance!

Tang Hao's face twisted in shock, his heart trembling with fear.

"You… you're a… Peerless Douluo !"

Yet no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out who this Peerless Douluo was.

The world only knew of three Peerless Douluo: Bo Saixi, Tang Chen, and Qian Daoliu.

But that didn't mean only three existed many soul masters chose to live in seclusion, focusing solely on cultivation.

Tang Hao studied the legendary figure before him.

The man wasn't particularly tall, but neither was he short. His clothes were plain, his temples streaked with white. At a glance, he seemed like a down-and-out middle-aged man even more disheveled than Tang Hao himself, with his unkempt beard.

Yet the moment his eyes opened, they carried an overwhelming, domineering aura, one that could shake the heavens.

When he stepped forward through the air, he hadn't even made a move, yet Tang Hao's Slaughter Domain shattered like glass.

The moment Tang Hao blurted out "Peerless Douluo," the headmaster, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and everyone else felt their hearts pound in terror.

Cornered, Tang Hao forced himself to stand his ground.

"This is between me and him. It's none of your concern."

Lu Feng sneered.

"Lu Feng is a member of my Merchant Alliance. I am one of its Elders. Still think it's none of my concern?"

Lu Feng didn't want to waste time, but he still needed to reveal his identity, while also boosting his Merchant Alliance's reputation.

Twenty-five minutes was more than enough.

"What?! So Lu Feng is part of the Merchant Alliance?!"

"The real shock isn't just the Merchant Alliance, it's that they have a Peerless Douluo as an Elder!"

"I knew the Alliance's leader was powerful, but this is beyond imagination!"

"No one's ever seen the Alliance's leader make a move, but if they can recruit a hidden Peerless Douluo… just how deep does their influence run?"

Whispers erupted below.

Tang Hao's eye twitched violently.

He had hidden for over a decade, finally recovering from his injuries.

In a backwater town like Nuoding City, where even a Soul Douluo was a rarity, he thought he could finally strut his power without fear.

And yet—

The moment he made his grand entrance, a Peerless Douluo appeared right in front of him!

All he wanted was to teach a little Soul Grandmaster—one who had humiliated his son and exposed his secrets—a lesson.

Instead, he had kicked an iron plate and offended a Peerless Douluo.

Having revealed his identity, Lu Feng was ready to fight.

He summoned his martial soul.

A slender, silver dagger appeared in his hand, thin as a willow leaf, no longer than seven inches.

At the same time, a pair of massive wings unfurled behind him, revealing the phantom of a gigantic roc.

A Twin Martial Souls wielder!

Twin Martial Souls were already exceedingly rare, but for one to reach Peerless Douluo level?

It meant he had overcome the inherent drawbacks—doubling his soul skills and rings, making him far stronger than a single-martial-soul Peerless Douluo.

"T-Twin Martial Souls?! W-Wait… M-May I ask… who you are…senior?"

Tang Hao's voice trembled.

Tang Hao instinctively used the respectful address—"Senior"—but the man barely spoke before preparing to fight.

And he wasn't holding back.

Both martial souls were fully unleashed, and beneath his feet, soul rings rose in a terrifying sequence: Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red.

An overwhelming surge of soul power erupted like a tidal wave—this was a man ready to go all out.

Lu Feng spoke coldly:

"Li Xunhuan, of the Tang Sect under the Pan-Continental Merchant Alliance. I await your instruction."

Tang Sect?!

The moment those two words reached Tang San's ears, his entire body froze like stone.

His greatest ambition had been to reestablish the Tang Sect in this world, relying on hidden weapons as its foundation.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine the Tang Sect already existed here.

And not only that, it was a subsidiary of the Pan-Continental Commerce Alliance!

This Peerless Douluo… was actually a senior elder of the Tang Sect and an Elder of the Commerce Alliance!

Tang San's mind went completely blank.

Lu Feng glanced at him, his gaze filled with undisguised contempt, and sneered:

"A little chick like you dares call yourself a hidden weapons master? Artificial hidden weapons are nothing but cheap tricks. The pinnacle of hidden weapons is flying leaves that kill—where everything in this world becomes a weapon at my command. I am the hidden weapon, and the hidden weapon is me. Now watch as I deal with your father."

Even as he spoke, his hands were already moving.

He raised his palm slowly, the dagger in his hand vanished.

No one in heaven or earth could tell where his flying blade was… or how it would strike.

Before the blade left his hand, no one could fathom its speed or power.

Yet its presence was undeniable—a force so overwhelming it could shake the skies and split the earth!

This was no mere killing intent.

It was something far more terrifying.

And one truth was absolute:

When Li Xunhuan's blade flew, it never missed.
