Yu Xiaogang's eyes were wide, his entire body trembling as he pointed a finger at Bibi Dong. Even Tang San, who was always beside him and known for "respecting teachers and upholding their doctrines," was at a loss for what to do.
Tang San had returned just as the match ended, just in time to witness Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang confronting each other. He had briefly inquired about the situation from Tang Xiao.
Tang Chen and the others had temporarily left due to matters concerning his father, Tang Hao.
As for whether they were worried about their own safety, Tang Chen had said: "Qian Daoliu is still relatively trustworthy. There's no need to overly worry about him making a move midway. They will return within three days."
Tang San looked at Bibi Dong, then at Yu Xiaogang.
He didn't care about Yu Xiaogang's attempt to manipulate Bibi Dong.
What he cared about was whether they had gained anything useful.
The fact that Yu Xiaogang managed to steal someone from under the former Pope Qian Xunji's nose was Yu Xiaogang's own skill.
However, he was still one move short!
Tang San thought silently to himself.
Was the Twin Martial Souls also something the Master sought verification on from Bibi Dong?
The thought of the Master going through immense hardship to see Bibi Dong, only to be captured by her.
Caused Tang San's anger to surge, his hands clenching into tight fists.
A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime.
This was Tang San's principle for conducting himself.
The inherently evil Spirit Hall, we have added another chapter to our old and new grievances.
"Daring to bring up old scores with my teacher, Bibi Dong, you have already incurred the cause for death."
As countless thoughts raced through Tang San's mind, Yu Xiaogang's voice sounded in his ears.
"Bibi Dong, have you no shame?" Yu Xiaogang, exasperated, pointed at Bibi Dong, the expression on his face twisting uncontrollably.
"Enough, Yu Xiaogang!" Tang Xiao, who had been restraining himself for a long time, stood up. If he didn't speak up now, Yu Xiaogang would probably be pointing at Bibi Dong and calling her a slut.
Then Yu Xiaogang would definitely be done for.
Having been the Sect Master for so many years, Tang Xiao knew what could and could not be said.
They hadn't completely torn up face with Spirit Hall yet, so both sides still had to follow some rules.
Yu Xiaogang was still Yu Yuanzhen's son. It was said that Yu Yuanzhen had kicked him out of the family, but who knew the truth?
"Your Holiness the Pope, we merely wished to inquire about the competition procedures. We have no intention of provoking Spirit Hall or the Limit Douluos."
Tang Xiao's voice was firm and resolute.
"Sect Master Tang Xiao is indeed reasonable." Bibi Dong nodded, chuckling softly, "It's also my fault, I got a bit carried away."
"The competition procedure is determined by the rule that you must not have lost a single match to reach your ranking in the finals."
"Spirit Hall Academy has not lost a single match up to the semi-finals, but Shrek Academy had already lost previously. Therefore, to compete for the championship again, you need to strive harder."
"Have I made myself clear, Sect Master Tang?"
"So that's how it is." Tang Xiao nodded.
Spirit Hall Academy had forfeited one match in the semi-finals, but Shrek's match against Glazed Academy was earlier.
To continue competing for the highest honor, they definitely needed to win consecutively.
"Mm, understood. Our Shrek Academy has no objections."
Yu Xiaogang still wanted to speak, but was intimidated by Tang Xiao's glare. The words stuck in his throat, neither coming up nor going down, his somewhat greasy face turning red with stifled anger, resembling a deep-fried dough stick.
Bibi Dong announced the temporary conclusion of the matches. The competition would continue in three days.
Tang Xiao led the Shrek group back to their residence.
These past few days, after being earnestly taught by multiple Title Douluos and tempered by the Asura God's Sword, Tang San's face carried an even more murderous aura.
"A Level 53 Soul King. Little San, you've grown stronger again." Tang Xiao said with emotion.
"Uncle, this time we will definitely defeat everyone and stomp heavily on Spirit Hall."
"Having confidence is good." Tang Xiao patted Tang San's shoulder, "However, you must also act according to your capabilities. Never learn from your father; he was too reckless."
"Ah..."
"Uncle..."
"By the way, where are Hao brother and grandfather?" Before Tang San could finish, Tang Xiao pressed.
"He took father to obtain a spirit ring. They had already located it before. With Great-grandfather's strength, three days is enough for a round trip."
"Moreover, father was originally a Level 95 Title Douluo. Obtaining a spirit ring shouldn't take much time."
"Star Dou Great Forest?" Tang Xiao's eyes revealed thoughtful contemplation.
"I told father not to push himself too hard."
"A hundred thousand year spirit ring isn't that easy to…"
"They said they would be careful."
Joke, is my Tang San's father an ordinary man? Could he even show his face without a hundred thousand year spirit ring?
Besides, to deal with Spirit Hall, a hundred thousand year spirit ring is necessary.
Only a hundred thousand year ring can maximize the power of Ring Explosion.
As Tang San was speaking, Tang Chen, leading a group of Haotian Sect elders, had already arrived deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
"The spirit beast we are hunting this time is a three-headed Red Devil Mastiff exceeding a hundred thousand years."
"According to Xiao Wu, it should be located not far from here."
Because Xiao Wu's father was killed by Red King, she held a special hatred for this spirit beast. Therefore, she revealed its location and provided a token for Tang Chen to give to the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, ensuring they stayed out of it and neither side would intervene.
Looking at Tang Hao's silence, Tang Chen sighed and said: "A Yin's matter is filled with strangeness. There's no need to blame yourself excessively. As long as you have power, you will surely be able to avenge A Yin."
"I understand, grandfather." Tang Hao sighed. His strength had already recovered to its peak apart from lacking a spirit ring. Even absorbing a spirit beast exceeding a hundred thousand years, even one that had passed a heavenly tribulation of two hundred thousand years, would be no problem for him.
And so, searching like this, with the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape stepping aside.
Tang Chen and his group felt their way into the core area.
Red King's territory.
...
Meanwhile, in the core area.
Di Tian held a spirit guide device brought from Spirit Hall, observing the Haotian Sect group.
"Good, good, good. The Haotian Sect, is it?"
"The Asura God's divine servant?"
"Do they truly think the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest are made of mud?" Di Tian's face darkened. "The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, those two traitors who bite the hand that feeds them, dare to act like this? Truly despicable."
"Calm down, Di Tian." Zi Ji said. "Didn't the Master say? Leave those three's spirit rings for her. Don't make a move for now."
"Originally, I still had some reservations, but now…"
"Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, and the Soft Boned Rabbit, you have already incurred the cause for death."
Giving directions to humans, how is that any different from betraying the spirit beast race?
Red King ate the Soft Boned Rabbit's father, but since you chose to betray, you must bear the consequences of betrayal.
"However, the other party is the Asura God's inheritor. Do we really have a chance?" Bi Ji's face showed worry.
"The Master and I are different. Even if I exert my full strength, I won't be recognized as the Black Dragon King of that year."
"Leave Tang Chen to me. I want to see just how much power this divine servant possesses."
"As for the others, notify all the fierce beasts and hundred thousand year spirit beasts, except those two traitorous spirit beasts, to collectively besiege the Haotian Sect members brought by Tang Chen."
"Also, notify Red King to be careful and lure them into the ambush circle."
"Today, I, Di Tian, will ensure they come but do not return."
