Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"Me too." Tang Xiao nodded. He hadn't felt anything before, but now that he saw Di Hong carrying Tang Yuehua on his back and the two of them in such close contact, he also felt like his own delicate flower had been trampled by a pig, even though Di Hong was very handsome.

The two walked over, and Di Hong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Tang Hao's expression as if he was about to beat him up.

"You bastard, you actually want to laugh." Tang Hao pretended to be angry.

"I really want to fight you and vent my anger."

His own sister was kidnapped, and he was actually laughing. He felt like his own gentle darling had been kidnapped by a blond guy riding a ghost horse and wearing loafers, and then came back to show off in front of him.

“There’s a difference of one spirit ring between us. You’re a Spirit Emperor and I’m a Spirit Saint. It would be bullying to fight you.”

"Then let's not use soul skills or soul power, just rely on our fists and feet."

“Our Haotian Sect values ​​strength above all else. Only those with strength have a voice. Only by defeating me can you earn the respect of others.”

He wanted to fight Di Hong, not because he really wanted to cause trouble or wasted his time, but because the Haotian Sect valued strength. Without strength, everything else was meaningless. So, as long as Di Hong could defeat him or even draw with him, he could shut up the other disciples of the Haotian Sect.

Of course, he also wanted to know just how strong Di Hong really was.

Chapter 90 Tang Wei

Chapter 90 Tang Wei

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Come inside with us. Father and the elders are waiting."

Tang Xiao led Di Hong to the backyard of the Haotian Sect.

"The front courtyard is where the direct disciples of the sect cultivate. Father and the elders are waiting for you in the study."

As they walked, Tang Xiao explained the situation of the Haotian Sect to Di Hong.

Di Hong looked around. As the number one sect in the world, Haotian Sect was very strict in its teaching of its disciples. The disciples in the front courtyard were all cultivating, so no one paid attention to Di Hong. If he was distracted and the elders found out, they might be punished.

Tang Xiao led Di Hong to the study of Haotian Sect.

The two stood outside the study, and he bowed to the closed study in front of him.

"Father, Di Hong has arrived."

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside the study.

The study door slowly opened, Tang Xiao nodded to Di Hong and then went in, with Di Hong following closely behind.

The study is about 50 square meters and is not decorated much. There are only some bookshelves filled with books, a few chairs, a table, and a mural on the wall. The mural depicts a man who looks to be in his thirties.

If Di Hong's guess is correct, the owner of that portrait should be Tang Chen.

Sitting at the desk was a burly old man in gray robes. His hair and beard were white, and his face was aged, but his eyes were very resolute. He just sat there, his face expressionless, but his aura was overwhelming.

Five people were sitting on either side of the study, one of whom was Tang Lie, who helped Di Hong hunt down soul beasts.

All five elders were Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level.

The old man sitting at the desk is Tang Wei, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect and Tang Chen's only son. He is also a level 95 Title Douluo.

“Father.” Tang Xiao bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Tang Wei nodded slightly.

Tang Xiao straightened up and walked out, closing the study door behind him.

"Junior Di Hong greets Sect Leader Tang." Di Hong clasped his hands and bowed in greeting, but as soon as he bent down, a powerful aura pressed down on him like a mountain.

Feeling the immense pressure, Di Hong frowned. This was Tang Wei testing him. Then, he relaxed his brows, straightened his back, and stood tall and straight as a pine tree, as if Tang Wei's pressure did not exist.

Years of cultivation had given his body an extremely strong ability to withstand pressure. Although the pressure released by Tang Wei was powerful, it wasn't that oppressive; clearly, he was holding back.

The five elders of the Clear Sky Sect on both sides looked him over and nodded in satisfaction when they saw how relaxed he was. Tang Wei was a Title Douluo, and even if he did not fully release his pressure, it was still something that ordinary Soul Masters could not withstand.

But Di Hong acted as if nothing had happened, which shows his strength.

"Not bad." A smile appeared on Tang Wei's face, and the oppressive aura pressing down on Di Hong instantly dissipated.

Those two simple words were his approval of Dihong.

"To have achieved so much at such a young age, as long as you don't slack off, I'm afraid no one on the continent will be your match in the future." Tang Wei's words were astonishing, directly stunning the five elders. They did not expect their sect leader to give Di Hong such an evaluation.

"Invincible in the future Douluo Continent"—that's too high a compliment.

It's important to know that there are many powerful figures in the Douluo Continent. Not to mention anything else, just the former sect master of their Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, and the former pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, are peaks that almost no other soul master can surpass.

These two level 99 peerless Douluo are unmatched at the Title Douluo level, except for each other and the peerless Douluo on Seagod Island.

Today, Tang Wei gave Di Hong such an evaluation upon their first meeting, meaning that Di Hong's future will surpass Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen. Surpassing these two would probably mean reaching the realm of a god.

God is not something that can be attained so easily.

"Thank you for your praise, senior. I will certainly not dare to slack off." Di Hong bowed to Tang Wei again.

Tang Wei laughed a few times, then suddenly coughed a few times.

After a moment, he finally spoke.

"Yuehua is my only daughter. I have always cherished her as the apple of my eye. It is my regret that she cannot become a Soul Master due to the mutation of her Martial Soul. It is also her regret."

"Your future is destined to be at the top. She may only be able to accompany you for half the journey. I hope you will not let her down."

"Senior, rest assured, Hong will definitely not let Yuehua down. I swear on my martial soul." Di Hong solemnly swore.

Tang Wei nodded and smiled, "Alright, there's no need to call me Senior Sect Master anymore. Just call me Uncle for now, and you'll have to call me Father-in-law later."

“Uncle Tang,” Di Hong called out naturally.

Tang Wei asked him to sit down, and then they started chatting, asking and answering each other.

Outside the study.

Tang Hao leaned against the wall, while Tang Yuehua paced anxiously back and forth. She didn't know what the situation was like inside, nor whether her father and the elders had approved of them.

"Second brother, lean against the window and listen to what they're saying inside." In her anxiety, Tang Yuehua pushed Tang Hao toward the window, but she wasn't strong enough to move him.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

“Look, there hasn’t been a fight inside yet, which means Father approves of him.”

In his view, the fact that no fight broke out was a form of acceptance.

Tang Xiao walked over.

"It's alright, Father is just looking at him, at most testing him a little."

Although she knew her father wouldn't make things difficult for Di Hong, Tang Yuehua was still a little nervous.

Tang Wei and Di Hong didn't talk for long before he came out.

"How is it?" Tang Yuehua immediately came over and asked.

“Absolutely no problem,” Di Hong said proudly.

"Are the elders being so easy to talk to?" Tang Hao asked, puzzled.

"You think everyone is like you?" Tang Hao was straightforward, so he often talked back to the elders, which is why he felt that the elders were difficult to talk to. But Di Hong was different. He wasn't straightforward, and he just went along with the elders.

"That's just how I am, I can't change it." Tang Hao waved his hand dismissively.

"Take a day off today, and we'll have a match tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll grant your wish." If Di Hong disagreed again, he felt that Tang Hao would keep nagging him about this. He figured it was better to finish the fight sooner rather than later, so that Tang Hao wouldn't keep bothering him.

"Make sure you've had enough rest."

Tang Hao ran away, and Tang Xiao patted him on the shoulder.

"Yuehua, take him to rest."

After saying that, he left too.

After completing a day of cultivation, the disciples of Haotian Sect began to discuss the arrival of Di Hong. Everyone was full of curiosity about him, and when they learned that Tang Hao would fight Di Hong the next day, they became even more excited.

Tang Hao is a once-in-a-century genius of the Haotian Sect, while Di Hong is known as an unparalleled genius. They both want to know who is stronger.

However, most of the Haotian Sect members believed that Tang Hao would win, since Tang Hao had never lost a battle of the same level.

Tang Wei and the elders couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation upon hearing the news.

Chapter 91: Battle Against Tang Hao

Chapter 91 Battle against Tang Hao

The next day.

At the Haotian Sect's martial arts arena, almost all of the sect's direct descendants were present because Tang Hao was going to compete against Di Hong. Even the five elders and Tang Wei were there.

Because of the difference in their soul power and soul rings, they agreed not to use martial souls and soul skills, but to compete solely based on their fist and foot techniques. Otherwise, it would be a bit unfair of Di Hong, since he is a Soul Saint and his martial soul quality is superior to the Clear Sky Hammer.

If a fight were to break out, Tang Hao wouldn't gain much of an advantage. Tang Hao was well aware of this. Di Hong was no ordinary soul master. With his current strength, there were basically no soul masters of the same level who could defeat him. Even soul saints rarely had the ability to defeat him.

But Di Hong is different. He is not an ordinary Soul Saint. When he was a Soul Emperor, he could kill Soul Saints thirteen levels higher. Moreover, he now has a talent domain, a 100,000-year soul ring, and four soul bones. Therefore, the two of them will not compete in soul power and soul skills.

On the training ground, Tang Hao was dressed in gray, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his muscular build. If the two were to judge solely by their physiques, Tang Hao would have the advantage, as he was much taller and stronger than Di Hong. Di Hong, dressed in a red outfit, looked much thinner.
