"Who's there?!"
Ye Feng's nerves were tenser than ever before!
But the person didn't care about him.
It was almost as if they were deliberately flaunting their presence in front of him.
They darted by.
And then vanished.
Without hesitating, Ye Feng immediately followed.
He had to see who this mysterious person was!!
After chasing for two minutes,
the person stopped in a secluded part of the forest.
All around, there was complete silence.
"You've finally come, quite bold of you," the person remarked.
Standing atop a tree, the breeze blew against his gray and dirty cloak.
"Who are you?"
Ye Feng stared at this person.
He didn't know why, but he sensed a feeling of vicissitudes from the other's words.
And this outfit, why did it look so much like him??
Could it really be that after attacking the junior during the day, the senior came for revenge at night?
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Ye Feng's mind.
Since he had been rejected by Tang San from entering the household at the beginning, he had never seen the real Tang Hao.
His mind contained only some images from previous animations and comics.
"Who I am is not important, what's important is that I am looking for someone to practice with today," the cloaked person spoke.
In an instant, Ye Feng felt an unprecedented pressure.
"You are Tang San's father, Tang Hao, aren't you?" Ye Feng tentatively asked.
"Heh, how interesting. When did such shallow waters like Holy Spirit Village begin hiding a young dragon?"
The man in the gray cloak turned around.
His slightly unkempt attire and full beard looked as though he hadn't groomed himself for quite a while.
Yet even so, an irresistible aura of authority emanated from him!
"It is you, the magnificent Hao Tian Douluo, getting involved in the trifles of the younger generation. What a sight to behold."
Upon seeing the man, Ye Feng felt a quiver in his heart.
He had guessed right.
But this was not good news.
Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo who used to stand up against Martial Soul Hall with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!
If he had murderous intent, Ye Feng would undoubtedly die today.
However, he had restrained himself quite a bit in yesterday's fight with Tang San; it should be considered minor scuffles between children, not something worthy of a senior's vengeance, right?
This Tang family is just too bizarre!
If push comes to shove, he would have to bring up Xue'er.
After all, the other party is still the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire.
He certainly wouldn't want his lineage to end here.
"You actually know who I am? Oh, I forgot that you seem to have a good relationship with Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire," Tang Hao said with a distinctive smile.
In fact, Tang Hao was nearby when Ye Feng injured his son yesterday.
As for Ye Feng impersonating him and seeking Zhao Wuji last night, Tang Hao was also secretly observing.
He thought to himself,
How did such an unremarkable boy from back then completely change as if he had become a different person?
He even managed to toy with a Soul Sage.
Where did this confidence come from?
Furthermore, how did he obtain such strength?
Could it be because of the Datura snake?
Did his body mutate after being bitten, allowing him to cultivate so quickly?
These matters left Tang Hao utterly perplexed.
With his doubts, he spent a lot of time last night and this morning doing a background check on Ye Feng.
He discovered that Ye Feng had a close relationship with Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire.
The two claimed to be good friends.
A few days after the snake bite five years ago, he went to Canghui Academy and quickly rose to become its brightest new star.
Considering the knowledge system of Canghui Academy, plus the backing of Your Highness the Crown Prince,
It made sense for him to know Tang Hao.
However, to boldly assert he was Hao Tian Douluo from among the many Tang Haos in the world required both capability and courage.
Turns out the surname Tang was a significant one on this Continent.
People bearing the name Tang were countless.
And it wasn't unusual to have the same names.
"Yesterday, Tang San's second Martial Soul, if I'm not mistaken, should be the Hao Tian Hammer, and you happen to be called Tang Hao, I don't think there are that many coincidences in this world."
Ye Feng came up with what seemed like a plausible excuse.
Because it was impossible for him to directly say, "I'm a transmigrator, and I know the plot, so I know you are Tang Hao!"
Were he to actually say that, Tang Hao would probably think he was insane!
And it was somewhat easier to accept when phrased in a different way.
It might even achieve an unexpectedly good effect.
"Indeed, it was because of that, I had told Xiaosan to not reveal his Martial Soul in public unless necessary, but the child still couldn't resist. If only he had half of your composure, this wouldn't have happened."
Tang Hao spoke up at this moment, his tone sounded like a sigh, yet complicated.
"To be complimented by Hao Tian Douluo, Ye Feng is indeed pleasantly surprised."
Ye Feng now spoke up.
At this moment, he was somewhat confused.
What exactly does Tang Hao want, coming here late at night?
If he wanted to kill him, it didn't look that way.
But if he wanted to chat, that didn't quite fit the bill either.
This was truly bizarre.
"Alright, back to business, let's begin!"
Suddenly, Tang Hao's tone changed.
"Begin???"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was full of confusion.
The scene seemed to change every second.
One moment he was praising him, and the next, ready to fight.
You are Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo.
I, Ye Feng, am at most a full-level Soul Elder.
Isn't this bullying the weak by using the strong?
"Don't worry, we're just sparring, I won't use my Soul Power!"
The corner of Tang Hao's mouth curled slightly.
He could easily thrash Zhao Wuji without even using his Martial Soul.
For Ye Feng, a level 40 fixed-frame Soul Elder, not using Soul Power was already enough.
[Ding! Sensing the battle intent of the Titled Douluo, host has the following options]
Just at this moment, a voice came to Ye Feng's mind.
[Option one, avoid the battle, reward: 10,000 gold coins, one martial arts secret manual]
[Option two, accept the challenge, reward: 100,000 gold coins, one Healing Pill, one piece of defensive armor]
The two options appeared quickly.
"Alright then, since Senior Hao Tian you've shown the sincerity of not using Soul Power, this Ye Feng will accompany you for a good time tonight."
Ye Feng unhesitatingly went for option two.
Without using Soul Power, what's a Titled Douluo to fear?!
He, Ye Feng, is not scared in the least!
So his mood was excellent.
If possible, he even wanted to shout out a thank you to his buddy for the 100,000 gold coins, the Healing Pill, and the defensive armor just delivered.
The System had never been so generous before.
Ever since last night's encounter with Tang San, this new feature had been unlocked.
Zhao Wuji activated it once afterward.
Now Tang Hao had activated it once again.
It was a major windfall.
As for option one, although the reward was good, was he reassured that if he chose to give up, Tang Hao wouldn't make a move on him?
Since the man came to him, there was no way he could avoid a beating.
But without using Soul Power, it was uncertain who would be beating whom.
In fact, due to Tang San, Ye Feng initially did not have a good impression of Tang Hao, but now the other party's openness and candidness had restored some of his favorable opinion.
Indeed, this father and son duo were different.
