A white energy ball shot out of Dai Huabin's mouth, rapidly chasing after Tang San.
Sensing the energy behind him, Tang San forcibly twisted his body to dodge. Although he successfully avoided it, the sudden deceleration allowed Dai Huabin to catch up.
All hope of using his hidden weapon was gone. As he watched the tiger claws swipe at him from the side, the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's right hand disappeared into thin air, replaced by a pitch-black hammer in his left hand.
Boom!
The hammer collided with the tiger claws, and a terrifying shockwave swept out instantly. Dai Huabin's arm went numb, while the towel in Tang San's hand shattered, leaving him stark naked once again.
However, Tang San's body seemed to borrow the force from the clash, spinning around and swinging his hammer down once more.
Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique!
Facing such an embarrassing situation, Tang San finally gave up adhering to the principles of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. He no longer chose to hide his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.
The tide of battle instantly turned!
"Wow... Incredible."
Watching the now overpowering, naked man suppressing Dai Huabin, Zhou Sicheng, who had just finished dinner, couldn't help but exclaim.
He then turned to his good friend, Cao Jinxuan, and hesitated before asking.
"Is this what they call sacrificing one's dignity for power?"
"No."
Cao Jinxuan shook his head seriously. "I think it's more like he's unleashing his true nature."
At that moment, after carefully observing the black hammer in Tang San's hand, one of the students watching from the door gasped.
"Twin martial souls! The Clear Sky Hammer! He's from the Clear Sky Clan!"
"What? The legendary number one tool soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!?"
"I heard that the disciples of the Clear Sky Clan haven't appeared in a long time. Now that I see this, it's clear that a hidden clan like this is indeed extraordinary!"
One comment stirred a thousand ripples. As more and more people joined the discussion, the name of the Clear Sky Clan began to spread among the students in a bizarre manner.
No wonder the Clear Sky Clan is so powerful!
Fighting naked—this isn't something an ordinary person could do, right?
For a while, people even began to seriously analyze the benefits of Tang San's approach.
Some said that not wearing clothes reduced wind resistance, increasing movement speed.
Others argued that it could stimulate blood circulation through shame, leading to an adrenaline-like surge of power.
Amid the murmurs of the spectators, another dull sound echoed. After enduring nearly ten consecutive hammer strikes, Dai Huabin finally couldn't hold on. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
However, Tang San showed no intention of stopping. Just as he was about to swing his hammer once more, a stern shout rang out.
"Stop!"
As the voice fell, a terrifying pressure descended on Tang San, rendering him immobile.
He turned his gaze and saw a teacher with seven soul rings walking in slowly from the entrance.
The teacher's eyes lingered on Tang San's naked body, his facial muscles twitching as he tried to maintain a serious expression.
"What's going on here? Why are you fighting!?"
Tang San, forced to stop, was seething with anger. But no matter how furious he felt, in front of a Soul Sage, he had no choice but to relent. After putting away the Clear Sky Hammer, he coldly explained, glaring at Dai Huabin.
"I was in the shower, and he ambushed me."
"...?"
Is this for real?
The teacher was dumbfounded. In his years of teaching, he had seen fights everywhere, but a brawl in the bathhouse was a first.
After coughing lightly, he dispersed the crowd and looked back at Tang San, his tone a little strange.
"...You should go put some clothes on. I'll investigate this matter."
As Tang San headed back to his dormitory, Huo Yuhao stood at the door, his eyes gleaming.
Blue Silver Grass, the Clear Sky Hammer, and a mastery of the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique...
Who else could it be but Tang San?
At that moment, Huo Yuhao finally understood why Wang Dong'er had enrolled in disguise.
If Tang San, in the God Realm, sensed more than one rising star in the mortal world, what would he do?
Rather than having his daughter dress as a boy to get close to just one of them, Tang San, driven by either control or suspicion, would more likely have her attend under her real identity, hoping her appearance would allow him to capture all of them in one fell swoop.
After all, this wasn't the first time Tang San had done something like this. A simple psychological suggestion, like the one he used in the past to make Wang Dong'er hate soul tools, would suffice.
Unfortunately, while the plan was sound, the target turned out to be two reincarnators.
Not to mention his own situation, from the actions of reincarnated Tang San, it was clear he was avoiding Wang Dong'er at all costs. There was no way he'd dare interact with her too much. If the God Realm Tang San got even the slightest hint of something amiss, he wouldn't need to come down himself—the two elders of the Clear Sky Clan would do the job.
Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected Tang San to face the same torment he once inflicted.
And having reincarnated Tang San divert the God Realm Tang San's attention wasn't such a bad thing for him.
"What's going on? It's so noisy."
A clear voice pulled Huo Yuhao from his thoughts. He turned to see Gu Yue approaching him.
It seemed that because the bathhouse fight had just ended, many students lingered in the hallway, excitedly discussing what had happened. Gu Yue's appearance was like a bombshell, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
"Well... how should I put it..."
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to explain what he had witnessed.
"Forget it, it's not important."
Gu Yue wasn't particularly interested in what had happened. Her tone was calm as she changed the subject.
"I'm tired. Let's finish dinner and go back to sleep."
"..."
Since they weren't core disciples yet, meals in the cafeteria weren't free.
Still, Huo Yuhao, ever the wealthy one, led Gu Yue to the most expensive stall. Under the awe-filled gazes of the students, he generously ordered one of everything.
Although the taste wasn't as good as his own cooking, Huo Yuhao cared more about the highly nutritious ingredients. These were the kinds of items that were hard to come by, even with money, without the right connections.
Gu Yue, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. She didn't care whether the ingredients were rare or nutritious. After all, no food could provide her any real benefit—taste was the only thing that mattered.
Fortunately, the cafeteria food was decent. While her palate had been spoiled by years of eating Huo Yuhao and Huo Yuner's cooking, it wasn't bad enough to make her refuse.
After dinner, they returned to the dormitory building. Seeing Gu Yue follow him into his room without a word, Huo Yuhao's eyelid twitched.
Thanks to Tang Ya and Gu Yue's relentless efforts back at home, Huo Yuhao had grown somewhat numb to the idea of sleeping together.
After a quick wash, when Huo Yuhao returned to the room, Gu Yue was already nestled under the covers, her small head peeking out. Her deep purple eyes seemed to glow faintly in the dim light, accentuating her breathtaking beauty.
Huo Yuhao's throat bobbed slightly. As he lifted the blanket and lay down beside her, he whispered softly.
"Tonight, no wandering hands. We have to get up early for class tomorrow."
"...Okay."
The brief response left Huo Yuhao slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Gu Yue to agree so easily. Before he could react, he felt her soft arms wrap around him, accompanied by her ethereal voice.
"Then you hold me while we sleep."
And just like that, as if she truly accepted his suggestion, her arms made no other moves.
"Hurry up."
Seeing Huo Yuhao hesitate, Gu Yue grumbled, snuggling closer into his embrace.
Perhaps it was because he had grown accustomed to her scent after sleeping together so often.
Breathing in that familiar fragrance, Huo Yuhao's mind finally calmed down. He slipped his arm around her neck, gently patting her smooth back, and the two of them soon drifted into a deep sleep, facing each other.
