"In front of me, you're spreading baseless claims as if I'm some kind old man who can be bullied at will?"
Faced with Dugu Bo's rebuke, Tang San no longer had the confidence he displayed earlier.
He lowered his head, his mind completely blank.
"Since you have nothing left to say, then you should pay the price."
A loud bang echoed through the sky, followed by Tang San's miserable scream as he fell from above.
Flender reacted quickly, releasing his martial soul and catching him before he could suffer further injuries from the fall.
Dugu Bo walked over at the same time.
"This is the consequence of speaking arrogantly in front of me!"
As for Tang San's father? Hah. Since he couldn't discipline his own son, Dugu Bo would do it for him.
No one could fault him for that.
Tang San's face was swollen and bruised, several of his front teeth had been knocked out, and he had already lost consciousness.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with fury, his chest heaving violently. Pointing at Dugu Bo, he shouted,
"Dugu Bo! If anything happens to Xiao San, even if I have to stake my life on it, I will—"
Before he could finish, Dugu Bo casually waved his hand. A palm formed from soul power slammed heavily into Yu Xiaogang's body.
A mere Spirit Grandmaster had no way of withstanding an attack from a Titled Douluo.
For the sake of Yu Yuanzhen's reputation, Dugu Bo did not kill him. However, aside from the bones in his chest and skull, every other bone in Yu Xiaogang's body shattered. His body went limp like rubber.
Liu Erlong's eyes trembled with rage, her eyes wide open. Her Fire Dragon martial soul roared as flames surged around it.
Just as she was about to rush forward and avenge Yu Xiaogang, Flender firmly grabbed her shoulder.
Finding the situation boring, Dugu Bo snorted and vanished.
Liu Erlong forcefully shook off Flender's hand and shouted,
"Boss Fu, why did you stop me?!"
In her fury, she had completely lost her reason.
Flender smiled bitterly and stepped aside, allowing the members of the Shrek Seven Devils to enter her line of sight.
"Erlong, you have to think about the children. Poison Douluo's poison is enough to kill all of them with ease. Don't you want to see these little monsters become powerful one day?"
Yu Tianheng, who had not dared meet Dugu Bo's gaze earlier, immediately stepped forward.
"Aunt Erlong, Dugu Bo has always acted tyrannically. He really does need to be taught a lesson. But we can't act recklessly. We need a long-term plan."
As he spoke, the six members of the Shrek Seven Devils all shared the same anger.
After thinking it over carefully, they realized they truly had no ability to teach Dugu Bo a lesson.
Dai Mubai's background certainly gave him the means, but with his current status, could he really mobilize the experts of the Star Luo Imperial Family?
As for Yu Tianheng...
Avoiding conflict with Dugu Bo was one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's bottom lines. Even if he requested Yu Yuanzhen to intervene under the pretext that Yu Xiaogang had been attacked, at most the clan would issue a verbal condemnation.
Liu Erlong did not think further about it. She immediately checked Yu Xiaogang's injuries and used her soul power to preserve his life.
The quick-witted Oscar hurriedly handed over a Recovery Sausage.
As for Tang San, Xiao Wu stayed by his side and looked after him.
Tang San's injuries were much lighter. He had only fainted because he couldn't endure the force of being slapped.
Under these circumstances, helping Dai Mubai hunt a Spirit Ring was no longer possible. Flender quickly led everyone from Shrek Academy out of the forest to avoid any further trouble.
Yu Xiaogang's injuries were simply too severe. Without immediate treatment, he might not survive.
The healing-type soul masters in the Spirit Beast town were notorious for charging outrageous prices in situations like this.
But for the sake of Yu Xiaogang's life, Flender had no choice but to pay dearly.
On the way back, the six members of the Shrek Seven Devils continued discussing how to get revenge on Dugu Bo.
"With our own abilities, it's impossible. Why don't we shift the disaster onto someone else?" Yu Tianheng suggested.
As one of the contenders for the position of Young Clan Leader, his abilities were beyond question.
Having been carefully groomed by his clan for years, he already possessed the capability to handle certain matters independently.
By comparison, Dai Mubai seemed rather foolish.
"Shift it? Shift it onto who? Who could possibly be Dugu Bo's opponent?"
"Mubai, let Tianheng finish!" Liu Erlong interrupted with an unfriendly expression.
If there was a chance to avenge Yu Xiaogang, how could she let it slip away so easily?
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Yu Tianheng said,
"Dugu Bo has a grudge against the Spirit Hall. Back then, he was even hunted to the brink of death. If Prince Xue Xing hadn't stepped in at the right time, he probably would have died long ago!"
"Prince Xue Xing again!" The members of Shrek gritted their teeth.
If Prince Xue Xing hadn't interfered back then, Qin Ming would never have died, and they would never have suffered such humiliation.
They certainly wouldn't have suffered at Dugu Bo's hands today, either.
Yu Tianheng remained calm and sighed.
"Prince Xue Xing is rather incompetent when it comes to state affairs, but he does have a good eye for talent. If not for Xue Qinghe suppressing him, his authority might have grown even further."
After a pause, he continued, "Don't interrupt. Let me finish."
"We definitely can't take revenge on Prince Xue Xing. He has the Imperial Family behind him, as well as His Majesty's advisers. Going after him would easily bring disaster upon ourselves."
"But Dugu Bo is arrogant and unruly by nature. His ties to the Imperial Family are weak. If we target him and can keep him from discovering the truth, he'll never trace it back to us."
Having spent so much time around Dugu Yan, he naturally knew the situation of the Dugu family. Otherwise, he never would have tried to recruit them in the first place.
Now that his attempt at recruitment had failed and his relationship with Dugu Bo had been severed, it would be hard to convince anyone that he wasn't acting out of resentment.
But so what?
Since Dugu Bo didn't value him, there was no reason for him to keep pretending to be a good person.
"Since Dugu Bo has a grudge against the Spirit Hall, then the enemy of our enemy may become our friend. We..."
The plan left everyone clicking their tongues in admiration.
Even Flender, who did not agree with the idea of revenge, had to praise Yu Tianheng's cleverness.
"Tianheng, the plan is good, but no plan is perfect. In my opinion, we should let this matter end here."
"With your talents, becoming Titled Douluo in the future won't be a problem. Even if Dugu Bo becomes stronger, if the seven of you join forces, you may still have a chance to avenge yourselves."
"Rather than obsessing over the present, it's better to look toward the future."
Flender had long since lost his pride. Shrek Academy could no longer withstand any more trouble. If they completely offended Dugu Bo, whether the academy could continue to exist at all was uncertain.
Shrek Academy was the work of his entire life. After merging with Blue Tyrant Academy, it had developed more than ever before. How could he bear to see it destroyed so easily?
Liu Erlong immediately became dissatisfied.
"Boss Fu, Xiaogang is our comrade who has gone through life and death with us, and Xiao San is a junior we value greatly. Now that their master and disciple have been harmed, how can we just swallow this anger?"
"If you're worried, then stay out of it. We'll handle it ourselves!"
Flender still didn't have the courage to refuse Liu Erlong. Half willingly and half unwillingly, he tacitly accepted Yu Tianheng's proposal.
However, if they wanted to carry out this plan, they would still need to make some preparations to ensure that the Spirit Hall would not ignore the matter.
Inside the forest, Dugu Bo had not left.
Ever since teaching Yu Xiaogang and Tang San a lesson, he had constantly felt that someone was watching him.
Thinking of Tang San's identity, he was not particularly surprised about who might be lurking behind the scenes.
Within his senses, the people from Shrek Academy gradually moved farther away, while the aura of the person behind him became increasingly undisguised.
