Douluo Dalu: The Legend of The Spider Emperor

A powerful pressure instantly engulfed the entire Heaven Dou City…

Inside Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, the intense battle continued, the audience roaring with excitement.

On the battle stage, the match between Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2 and Divine Wind Academy had reached its final moments.

With Yu Tianheng's last punch, the battle concluded.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2 WINS!"

As soon as the referee announced the results, the entire audience erupted, their cheers thunderous in response to the magnificent battle they had just witnessed.

—

In the VIP stands, Emperor Xue Ye burst into joyful laughter, his mood exceptionally good these past few days.

Although he hadn't seen Ye Hao compete today, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2 had once again proven their dominance, even without their ace player.

In the eyes of the audience, Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team 2 was the brightest rising star of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had abruptly stood up mid-match.

Noticing this, Ning Fengzhi used soul power transmission to ask,

"Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, what just happened?"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, still shaken, replied,

"I sensed an incredibly strong soul power fluctuation… That person's strength far exceeds mine and Old Bone's."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong nodded, his expression grave.

"Chen Xin is right. It was an instant, but for that moment, it felt as if… a monstrous force had descended upon us."

"And then, it was gone—like a fleeting shadow. Maybe… that person was just passing by."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed.

Someone stronger than Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo… Who could it be?

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy had suffered another humiliating defeat.

The raging flames of Blazing Fire Academy had burned away their last shred of hope—three consecutive losses!

The shame of a three-match losing streak was now etched onto Shrek Academy's record, and the once-proud title "Shrek Seven Devils" had become a mockery.

Even Shrek's own students had begun turning against them.

The phrase "I could do better" spread like wildfire through the academy, and many students had already applied to withdraw.

As Dai Mubai and the others staggered back to their dorms, their spirits were crushed.

Their clothes were charred, their skin burned, and their bodies covered in soot.

But nobody cared.

To the outside world, only victory mattered.

If you lost, no one wanted to hear excuses.

And among them, Tang San was the worst off.

His entire body was severely burned, and he had fallen into a deep coma.

The back of his head had been scorched bald, and only the timely medical treatment had saved him from permanent damage.

—

Outside the dormitories, Tang Hao stood in the shadows, watching people come and go from Tang San's room.

His fists clenched.

If this had happened before, he would have crushed whoever dared harm his son—just like he did to Zhao Wuji in Soto City.

But this was different.

This was a fair competition.

He couldn't just storm Blazing Fire Academy and beat everyone up—that would only make things worse.

Besides, his identity was still a dangerous secret.

Instead, Tang Hao made up his mind.

For Tang San's future, he would take him away to a place where his Blue Silver Grass could truly awaken.

—

Suddenly, a titanic soul power erupted nearby!

Tang Hao's expression darkened immediately.

The soul power wave was even more terrifying than Qian Daoliu's.

And worse…

It came from a location not far from Shrek Academy!

If that force turned out to be hostile…

Tang Hao clenched his fists.

"Rank 99…?" he muttered.

"No, even stronger than Qian Daoliu… What kind of monster is this?!"

Meanwhile, at Qian Renxue's Mansion

Qian Renxue had just finished instructing Snake Spear Douluo and Bloodthorn Douluo to deliver the hidden weapon blueprints to Spirit Hall.

But just as they were about to depart—

A suffocating pressure exploded from the back courtyard!

Snake Spear Douluo and Bloodthorn Douluo instantly stepped in front of Qian Renxue, their martial souls released.

"Such terrifying soul power!" Snake Spear Douluo gasped, gripping his spear tightly.

Bloodthorn Douluo's expression hardened.

"The source is… the back courtyard?!"

Qian Renxue's heart sank.

Her back courtyard…

That was where Ye Hao was!

Her eyes widened in horror.

"Move aside!"

"But, Young Master!"

"If Ye Hao is in danger, how will you explain yourselves to my grandfather?!"

Tears welled in Qian Renxue's eyes.

"He's my little brother!"

"Even if it's a Titled Douluo… even if he's stronger than you both… I WILL bring my brother back!"

She shoved them aside and rushed toward the back garden.

The two Douluo hesitated, then gritted their teeth and followed her.

Back Garden – Ye Hao's Martial Soul Fusion

Ye Hao, Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Er had become one.

He examined his new form—his left arm was normal, but his right arm had transformed into the Soul Devouring Spider Spear.

Testing his control, he willed it to revert, and his right arm returned to normal.

His Eight Spider Lances merged seamlessly into his back, now a permanent extension of himself.

"Xiao Hong, what just happened?" Ye Hao asked, his voice deeper, more powerful.

Xiao Hong grinned.

"Congratulations! This is your Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

"Martial Soul Fusion…?" Ye Hao was shocked.

The power surging through him was on a completely different level from other fusion techniques.

Xiao Hong smirked.

"This is your fusion technique: Twin Spider Emperors."

"You, Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Er have merged into one. Your current strength has reached…"

"Rank 99."

Ye Hao's eyes widened.

"What?!"

"But… there's a catch."

Just as Xiao Hong finished speaking, Ye Hao's body flickered, reverting back to normal.

He staggered, breathing heavily.

"The fusion only lasted three minutes."

"That's because it depends on your own soul power. Zhu Zhu and Zhu Er are already Titled Douluo, but you're still just a Soul King."

"Once you become a Titled Douluo, your fusion time will extend."

Ye Hao panted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Three minutes…?"

"Not bad…"

Suddenly—

The garden doors burst open.

Qian Renxue stood there, eyes red, chest heaving.

"Ye Hao! Are you okay?!"

She ran to him without hesitation.

And behind her—

Snake Spear Douluo and Bloodthorn Douluo stood frozen in shock.

They had sensed a Rank 99 Limit Douluo—

But it was just Ye Hao…?
