Tang San!
The two of them had fought once in the Sunset Forest four years ago. This kid was secretly injured by his Octane Blast.
If he predicted correctly... this guy should still be at two rings.
Indeed!
When Tang San released two yellow soul rings, it confirmed his speculation.
Unlike Yang Fan's ease and calmness.
Tang San, standing opposite, had a solemn face.
He also knew...
A Soul Master who could knock out Dai Mubai in one second without releasing his martial soul was definitely not ordinary.
He was very confused!
Why did this guy, who looked about the same age as him, have such strong strength?
Tang San, unable to accept it, could only attribute all this to Yang Fan's age being older than it looked on the surface.
"Tang San!"
"Level 30..."
Tang San's plan was very good.
Use the self-introduction before the soul duel to figure out the opponent's martial soul and strength, so as not to fall into a passive situation at the beginning.
But...
Yang Fan didn't give him this chance.
Lightning-fast speed made Yang Fan's figure appear illusory, and the sharp attack arrived as expected in the next second.
He still didn't release his martial soul!
Even so, such an attack made Tang San's heart tremble violently twice in a row.
The next second!
A hint of purple light instantly appeared in Tang San's eyes.
Looking over again...
He could barely see Yang Fan's figure through this layer of purple mist.
Although Tang San was only at two rings now, the trump cards on his body were far from comparable to Dai Mubai, this fallen prince. Plus, Dai Mubai's previous lesson gave him psychological preparation in advance.
His elusive footsteps allowed him to barely dodge Yang Fan's first attack.
However, before he could celebrate, Yang Fan's body in the air suddenly turned, and a flurry of attacks followed closely.
At this time, Tang San wanted to use his proud Purple Extreme Demon Eye to see all the attacks falling on him, but this time Yang Fan didn't give him any chance again.
Yang Fan's gaze instantly burst forth with a fire-red brilliance.
The two looked at each other!
Tang San's eyes instantly became dizzy, and his brain sank at the same time.
A clash between spiritual attacks!
At this time, it depended on the spiritual power between the two sides.
Yao Lao had told him before: His current spiritual power had already surpassed ordinary Soul Douluos.
At this moment...
Yang Fan seized the opportunity of Tang San's dizziness, performed a shoulder throw, and smashed him heavily to the ground. Immediately, his right fist surged with hidden force.
Tang San had changed.
Yang Fan was also no longer the Yang Fan of four years ago.
"Bang—"
The Octane Blast this time solidly smashed onto Tang San's chest.
This punch didn't seem to use much strength on the surface, but Yang Fan knew it would make this bastard Tang San lie in bed for half a year.
He indeed couldn't beat Tang San to death in public, but getting a slight injury during a 'friendly' martial arts spar was normal, right?
Just then...
The twisted air fluctuation from the side made Yang Fan's spiritual power agitated accordingly.
He turned around instantly, meeting a punch at the same time!
His body retreated, and the other party retreated together immediately.
Zhao Wuji!
Yang Fan saw the attacker's appearance clearly.
As the leader of Shrek Academy coming to Great Star Dou Forest this time, Zhao Wuji could be said to have appeared at just the right time.
Just now...
He had solidly rewarded Tang San with a punch.
"Kid!"
"Where did you pop out from, actually bullying me, Immovable Vajra Zhao Wuji?"
Immovable Vajra Zhao Wuji!
This name was barely recognizable on the Douluo Continent, especially in a place like the town on the outskirts of the Soul Beast Forest where all kinds of people mixed.
Because this grandson didn't do much human stuff when he was young.
Just a few years ago...
There were still many sect families wanting to hunt down Zhao Wuji.
However, while speaking, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but look at Yang Fan a few more times.
This kid was not simple!
The punch just now was aimed at blasting Yang Fan ten meters away, but this kid only retreated two or three steps.
Not only that!
The punch just now hid strength inside, making him feel his whole arm was twisting.
"Zhao Wuji!"
"What the hell are you doing bullying several children here? If you have the ability, come and have a few rounds with me."
A loud and angry voice exploded behind Yang Fan.
This voice was too familiar...
Yang Fan knew without looking back that it was their lovely Dean Huo Bao.
Huo Bao!
Just like his name.
Although this Dean of theirs has a very irritable temper, but even if he was angered to smoke by his own students, he couldn't bear to beat them.
Because of this!
Hu Bao, unable to bear it anymore, jumped out after seeing Zhao Wuji.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Huo Wu had the intention of asking what she already knew.
The academy would absolutely not let their few students adventure in the Soul Beast Forest.
Huo Wu knew this, and everyone in the Blazing Fire Team knew this.
"If I didn't come, you would be bullied by this blind bear."
After Huo Bao finished speaking, he turned and glared at Zhao Wuji.
The idle Soul Masters in the outer town were scared pale hearing the title of Immovable Vajra, but their Tian Dou Huo Family really didn't put this blind bear in their eyes.
At this time...
Another elder walked out from behind the Blazing Fire Academy.
"Immovable Vajra, long time no see."
Zhao Wuji saw it was Elder Huo. As a junior, he couldn't help but bow slightly.
Of course!
A barbaric person like Zhao Wuji wouldn't value seniority, it was completely because he feared Elder Huo's Soul Douluo level strength.
"Although this old man is old, many things can still be seen clearly."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be your people looking for trouble with Blazing Fire first, and then being taught a lesson by us, right?"
"Furthermore..."
"Everyone present should understand the rules of the Soul Master world. Once a soul duel is established, others can no longer intervene and interfere."
"The Immovable Vajra seems to have broken the rules?!"
Elder Huo was considered a 'weirdo' in the family.
He spoke gently!
Not inheriting the Huo family's irritable temper at all.
The reason was because this old man liked a quiet cultivation method and was hardly eroded by the Blazing Fire Stones.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"It was Zhao Wuji who didn't understand the rules."
Elder Huo's words were neither humble nor pushy, it could be said to be watertight.
You got beaten, that's true, but the fault is still on your side!
Even the always barbaric Zhao Wuji couldn't pick out a way to refute, let alone dare to commit offenses against the Tian Dou Huo Family.
"Let's go!"
It was late, but Zhao Wuji had to make such a decision.
Not to set off for Great Star Dou Forest, but to return to Soto City.
Damn it!
Didn't see a single soul beast hair, but two of the students he brought out fainted first.
Injuries unknown!
They had to be taken back to the academy for treatment.
...
Three days later.
Zhao Wuji hired two carriages at his own expense to bring Tang San and Dai Mubai back to Shrek Academy.
"Haha!"
"Wuji, why are you back so quickly?"
Flender walked out with a happy face to welcome them.
Damn it, taking a carriage!
Flender's first thought was that the process of hunting soul rings this time was exceptionally smooth, making these kids so happy they started enjoying life.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Wuji had a gloomy face, seeming to want to vent all the depression of these three days.
Hanging 'Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity' on his mouth all day.
Now what?
All became damn idiots!
"What's wrong?"
Flender knew something was wrong seeing Zhao Wuji's face. When he lifted the curtain on the carriage, his brain buzzed, followed by blankness.
"Zhao Wuji!"
"What exactly is going on?"
One Tang San, one Dai Mubai.
The two most excellent students in the academy actually went out standing and came back lying down.
"What else could it be?"
"They got beaten by someone damn it."
Zhao Wuji was worried not only about Tang San and Dai Mubai's injuries but also the consequences of this matter developing.
Tang San's dad is Tang Hao!
Last time Tang San got injured and didn't seek revenge from them, it was already pretty considerate of Hao Tian Douluo. This time his son got more serious injuries, could he really let them off?
Besides, Dai Mubai...
This kid was indeed a disgraced prince, but no matter what, he was also the son of the Star Luo Emperor.
The Star Luo Royal Family could allow Dai Mubai to die at the hands of their own people, but absolutely would not allow him to die in the wild.
"Then why didn't you protect them well?"
"The opposite is the damn Tian Dou Huo Family!"
Zhao Wuji also wanted to teach the opponent a lesson, just like he beat Canghui Academy.
But he couldn't beat them!
"Cut the nonsense!"
"Help me carry them inside first."
At this time, Yu Xiaogang was still in the room carefully modifying his Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, and imagining letting Tang San, who had full innate soul power and twin martial souls, help him verify it.
However... the noisy sound forced him to open the door.
It was at this moment that he saw Tang San lying on the stretcher passing by slowly.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes went dark...
When he reacted, he had already tightly grabbed Flender's collar.
"Flender!"
"You tell me what exactly is going on?"
"Why is my disciple lying on a stretcher?"
"Do you know what he means to me?"
Yu Xiaogang was already on the verge of collapse.
Tang San's injury last time was already considered to affect future cultivation. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the foundation.
"Xiaogang, calm down."
Flender was already irritable, and being shaken by Yu Xiaogang like this made him lose his reason.
He gave Yu Xiaogang a big slap!
Slap—
The sound was crisp and loud.
At this moment!
Flender calmed down, Yu Xiaogang also instantly sobered up, and the people around were surprised by this sudden scene and said nothing.
The world seemed quiet!
Only Yu Xiaogang's face was still burning with pain.
"Our current top priority is to treat these two children's injuries."
Yu Xiaogang nodded silently.
Flender was right, he slapped well!
Just now he was too anxious, seeing Tang San lying on the stretcher had messed up his composure.
Tang San wasn't dead yet!
They still had hope.
...
After a series of diagnoses, Flender's face looked extremely ugly...
"Do you remember Tang San's injury last time?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes trembled suddenly: "Do you mean...?"
Flender nodded solemnly!
Tang San's injury this time was similar to the last time, both were comas caused by internal organs being stirred by hidden force.
"Flender, what are you waiting for?"
"Save him!"
This time Flender shook his head heavily.
Last time he could easily resolve the hidden force on Yang Fan, but this time he couldn't.
"Even you can't?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly became empty.
Flender was the strongest in Shrek Academy. If even he couldn't...
At this moment!
He seemed to have lost all hope, even lost the motivation to live.
"There is still a way!"
Only Flender's eyes in the entire room were the most determined.
"What way?"
Yu Xiaogang asked urgently.
"Although I cannot resolve the hidden force in Tang San's body, a Title Douluo can."
Flender had already understood the ins and outs from Zhao Wuji's mouth.
In the soul duel on the outskirts of Great Star Dou Forest, the other party didn't make a deadly move, but this punch was more uncomfortable than taking a genius Soul Master's life.
However...
Such a result made them unable to say the other party was wrong.
"You want me to beg him?"
"Impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang knew what Flender wanted to express.
"Then you go find Bibi Dong!"
"Flender!"
Yu Xiaogang was so angry that his veins bulged, and his breathing became heavy accordingly.
The two people he least wanted to see in his life: one was Bibi Dong, the other was Yu Yuanzhen.
"Then whatever you want."
Flender indicated he came from a poor family.
He wasn't like Yu Xiaogang.
In this world, there was absolutely no Title Douluo who would look highly upon him.
There were actually three ways to walk the Title Douluo path.
The first was to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family to find Yu Yuanzhen.
The second method was to find his old lover Bibi Dong.
The third was to place hope on Tang Hao.
No matter which of these three was found, Yu Xiaogang had to go personally.
And...
Flender didn't want to take the third path from the bottom of his heart.
First, because Tang San's injury couldn't be explained to Tang Hao, and second because Tang Hao was really hard to find.
Tang San had been at Shrek Academy for four years, and Tang Hao only appeared in his office suddenly one night.
"Even if I go back, will he really act to save Xiao San?"
Yu Xiaogang had already made his first choice.
If he really had to choose, he would rather return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family than face Bibi Dong.
"How do you know if you don't try?"
The reason Flender said this idea was because he believed Yu Yuanzhen would definitely act.
Although Yu Xiaogang said he was abandoned by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, as a good brother he knew this guy actually left home because he couldn't stand the family's cold eyes.
After discussion...
Yu Xiaogang finally made a decision he didn't want to make a second time in his life.
Return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!
"Family..."
Yu Xiaogang looked up at the sky. When he left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, he had sworn not to return unless he made some achievements.
He didn't expect he would break his vow at such a time.
But fortunately...
He had now summarized the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls. After so many years, he could be considered to have made his own achievements.
