of a rare moment of leisure, Xiao Wu went shopping with Liu Erlong. Zu Zong had intended to use this opportunity to discuss life and art with Zhu Zhuqing in their room. However, Xiao Wu unexpectedly turned the tables, whispering a few words in Zhu Zhuqing's ear, causing Zhu Zhuqing to blush and follow her out.
Strolling alone on the streets of Tiandou City, the zuzong wandered around, looking here and there.
First, he bought a considerable amount of daily necessities, as he would be frequently traversing the myriad worlds in the future, and supplies were essential.
Then, he browsed the antique market and found some valuable items, including a pair of storage soul tool rings. Based on a rough estimate, each ring had at least 10 cubic meters of storage space.
The rings were contained in a peculiar box, hidden inside a statue. The zuzong discovered them using the system and bought them for 100 gold soul coins.
*Ding-a-ling. *
Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, a magnificent golden carriage slowly drove past on the street.
The zuzong subconsciously looked up, just as the carriage window opposite opened.
A mature woman came into view. At first glance, she appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but her eyes seemed to have seen through everything, far surpassing the appearance of a woman of that age. Her demeanor was extremely noble, and strangely, this woman showed no trace of soul power, clearly not a soul master.
Their eyes met, and the zuzong paused slightly before turning back and continuing on his way. A noblewoman, no matter how noble her demeanor or how beautiful she was, was of little concern to him. He'd rather use that time to cultivate.
The noblewoman looked at the zu zong's departing figure with a complex expression, beckoned the carriage maid, whispered a few words in her ear, and then returned to the carriage.
Shrek Academy.
At this moment, everyone was in a chaotic mess because Tyrone's grandfather, Old Titan, had arrived.
Besides their single-lineage system, the most prominent characteristic of the Power Clan was their fierce protectiveness of their own.
Upon learning that his grandson and son had been defeated by a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master from Shrek Academy, he immediately flew into a rage.
Seeing this, some might ask, why did Old Titan wait a week to seek revenge?
Well, it goes without saying! The clan leader chose the day.
Flander took Ma Hongjun to Sunset Forest to obtain his third Soul Ring. Liu Erlong, along with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, had been acting mysteriously these past few days, rarely staying at the academy. Only Vice Dean Zhao Wuji and the pregnant "theoretically invincible" Master remained.
So, Tailong and Taino discussed whether to tell their grandfather about their beating, and "coincidentally" Titan overheard them, making everything fall into place.
Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, the calm before the storm was palpable.
Tang San, Meng Yiran, and Oscar were enjoying lunch. Since morning, for some reason
, more girls had been paying attention to Tang San. If it weren't for Meng Yiran's beauty and her sharp gaze warning other girls, female students would probably have already approached him.
While eating, Oscar lowered his voice and said to Tang San, "I really shouldn't have come to lunch with you guys."
Tang San asked in confusion, "Why?"
Oscar sighed, "Didn't you notice that all the girls were staring at you this morning? Like they wanted to devour you. You know, when you weren't around, those looks were always on me."
Meng Yiran raised an eyebrow; she was also quite troubled. If she hadn't spent the whole day by Tang San's side, countless vixens would probably have come wagging their tails. "Little Oscar, don't you like Rongrong? I'll tell Rongrong later."
"No, no, my little aunt, I'm sorry." Oscar looked bitter when he mentioned Ning Rongrong. He had been pursuing Ning Rongrong for over half a year, but Ning Rongrong had almost always treated him as a friend. A week ago, Ning Rongrong seemed to have suddenly realized something and suddenly reached level 30. Now she's gone home to get her spirit ring, and it's unknown whether she'll be back.
Oscar frowned and said, "Rongrong left a week ago, and I don't know when she'll be back."
Oscar looked at Meng Yiran and continued, "Yiran, you live close to Ning Rongrong, do you know what she usually does?"
Meng Yiran shook her head, "I don't really know either. She's always been acting all mysterious with Zhuqing. By the way, Zhuqing's boyfriend has been staying at our college lately! He seems to be very familiar with Teacher Erlong."
Upon hearing "Clan Master," Oscar couldn't help but feel secretly relieved. Luckily, the other person already had a girlfriend; otherwise, he and Ning Rongrong would have had no hope at all. Because if she were Ning Rongrong, she would also choose the Clan Master. Impeccable looks and monstrous strength—the thought alone was despairing.
Changing the subject, Oscar looked at Tang San, "Tang San, I'm asking you, did you really defeat Tailong?"
Tang San was taken aback, asking in confusion, "Who is Tailong?"
Since arriving in Heaven Dou City, he had almost always kept to himself. Besides cultivating, he was either with Meng Yiran or... he hadn't actually fought someone named Tailong.
Oscar's expression changed, and he whispered to Tang San, "It's that former top student who likes Zhu Qing, he looks like a gorilla! Now everyone in the academy is saying that a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master student defeated him. Not only that, his father, Mighty King, came to settle scores, but he got beaten up too. You're the only Blue Silver Grass Soul Master in our academy, otherwise why would those girls be looking at you?"
Tang San was confused. "I've been cultivating all this time, I haven't fought anyone at all."
Oscar suddenly realized and said, "I understand. Little San, you're in trouble now."
Meng Yiran glared at Oscar. "Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
Oscar said, "Little San, you'd better run away quickly! Last time I heard Rongrong and Zhu Qing talking about how Tailong has a grandfather named Soul Douluo who is extremely protective of his own. If he finds out that his grandson was beaten up, he'll definitely come looking for trouble."
"Why should he? What did my Little San do to offend him?" Meng Yiran said unhappily.
Oscar said, "Sigh, the key is that everyone now thinks you defeated Tyrone and his son. It doesn't matter who did it anymore. That old gorilla will come after you first."
Sure enough, after the three finished lunch, they heard someone shouting in the campus, "Whose spirit is Blue Silver Grass? Tyrone's grandfather, Hercules, said that Blue Silver Grass spirit masters injured his son and grandson, and he's brought them to take revenge." Then
, someone else shouted from the crowd, "Tang San's spirit is Blue Silver Grass."
"Damn it, who's so talkative?" Meng Yiran shouted angrily.
Tang San's heart stirred slightly, and he said to Meng Yiran beside him, "Yiran, go find Vice Dean Zhao Wuji. Oscar, let's go take a look."
Meng Yiran snorted coldly, "Hmph! If that old gorilla dares to hurt you, I'll go back and have my grandparents teach him a lesson."
Meng Yiran's grandparents were the Peerless Dragon-Snake, possessing a spirit fusion skill, enough to rival ordinary titled Douluo, so they weren't afraid of the old Titan. Moreover, Dragon Lord himself was a Soul Douluo, so there was even less to fear.
"The innocent are innocent, the guilty are guilty. I confronted Tailong and his son face to face; do you think they would dare to lie through their teeth?" Tang San said calmly.
