Tang San frowned and was about to step forward.
Although Dai Mubai's actions were often criticized, he was still his classmate after all. If it were a one-on-one fight, Dai Mubai losing would be one thing.
But if the other party's companions intervened and he did nothing, it would surely leave an impression of disunity among the academy members.
"Fairness?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned, looking at Tang San with disbelief: "Everyone knows you're on the same side, can't you be a bit more subtle in your bias? His attack was clearly aimed at me, why shouldn't I fight back?"
"As the saying goes, attack where they must defend." Tang San said seriously, pointing at Zhu Zhuqing: "Although Mubai's attack was directed at you, the real target was actually Miss Zhu Zhuqing."
"I believe Mubai had already calculated that the young lady would be able to save you in time when he used his skill."
Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun were momentarily stunned upon hearing Tang San's analysis, then their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look at Tang San with admiration.
They hadn't expected Brother San to analyze Dai Mubai's strategy so quickly, they thought inwardly.
"You're twisting the truth!" Ning Rongrong pointed at Tang San angrily with one hand on her waist: "Formulating strategies through Soul Skills is based on knowing the opponent's specific information."
"Today is the first time we've met, and Zhu Zhuqing has only used her skill once, where would that playboy prince get the information?"
"I think he clearly has ulterior motives and a wicked heart. And someone like you, who distorts the truth for your companions, is no good either."
Having overcome her initial fear, Ning Rongrong had now calmed down.
It was just that the suddenness of the event had left her unprepared, but upon careful reflection, even if Zhu Zhuqing couldn't save her in time, Sword Grandpa would have stepped in at the critical moment.
After all, she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even if Sword Grandpa had to leave, he would surely keep an eye on her.
"Miss, the facts are right in front of us, Miss Zhu Zhuqing did save you, and everything you said is just mixed with personal emotions and speculation."
"It doesn't prove anything."
Tang San's expression was cold as he stepped forward to Dai Mubai's side, using acupressure to stop the bleeding, and picked up the three severed fingers from the ground, handing them to Dai Mubai: "However, although you were attacked, you weren't injured, while Mubai losing three fingers is a fact."
Dai Mubai had now come to his senses, looking at the three severed fingers in his hand, his eyes bloodshot, a clear tear slowly tracing down his face, muttering to himself: "I will... kill you..."
Seeing this, Tang San patted Dai Mubai's shoulder, his sharp gaze turning to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing: "Miss, by breaking the unspoken rule of one-on-one combat, you are the one twisting the truth now, and we at Shrek Academy will never let our companions suffer."
He had just briefly analyzed the situation and found the loopholes in Ning Rongrong's words. Now he just needed to continue accordingly, after all, as a fellow member of Shrek Academy, if he didn't intervene after Dai Mubai suffered such a great injury, he might be blamed later.
Although Dai Mubai had indeed acted somewhat unethically for the sake of victory, he was still on their side.
Moreover, Ning Rongrong had repeatedly offended Tang San with her words, which had long made him feel displeased. However, since she was an auxiliary Soul Master and a girl, he couldn't bring himself to challenge her in front of so many people.
Now that she had rashly taken action, it gave him a perfect reason to teach her a lesson. Of course, he didn't need to do it himself.
"Xiao San is right. Since no accident has occurred, this is all just your imagination. Are you trying to find an excuse to gang up on someone?"
Seeing that Dai Mubai had suffered such a significant loss in such a short time, Ma Hongjun was extremely angry. He cracked his knuckles, shook his neck, and stepped forward, standing in front of everyone.
"Even though you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you can't just act unreasonably, can you? Do you really think Shrek Academy is easy to bully?"
Although these two girls were beautiful, they weren't his, so they weren't worth cherishing.
Even though their backgrounds were impressive, his Teacher had once said that those who don't dare to stir up trouble are mediocrities. He was just giving them a small lesson, so he didn't think it would cause too much trouble.
Xiao Wu quickly assessed the situation and hurried to Tang San's side. The two of them stood behind Ma Hongjun.
"You... you..."
Ning Rongrong trembled with anger and quickly moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing, while scanning the surroundings for the Sword Douluo.
Let's rewind to the moment the Sword Douluo disappeared.
At this moment, the Sword Douluo was standing on a Flying Sword, hovering above the high tower of Suotuo City. He was observing the situation below while confronting a burly man in black.
"The God of Slaughter Domain? Are you the Clear Sky Douluo?" The Sword Douluo frowned, looking at the red domain surrounding the man in black, and probed cautiously.
On the continent, there were only a few strong individuals who possessed domains. And this blood-red domain, exuding a chilling killing intent, was something he knew only one person could possess.
"That's right," the man in black nodded, slowly removing his hood. It was Tang Hao.
"Brother Tang Hao, what is the meaning of luring me here?" The Sword Douluo relaxed his aura slightly, but his expression turned puzzled.
"Brother Sword, have you noticed anything unusual about the girl below?" Tang Hao's voice was hoarse as he turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu.
The Sword Douluo was startled, his frown deepening. "That Shapeshifting Spirit Beast down there, is she your target?"
"But if you discovered her long ago, why didn't you capture her earlier? Why let her roam freely in human society?"
A hundred-thousand-year Shapeshifting Spirit Beast was enough to make any Soul Master covetous.
If the person standing before the Sword Douluo were an ordinary Title Douluo, he wouldn't even bother to talk. He might just slash with his sword and then go down to capture the Spirit Beast.
He wouldn't have the patience to ask such questions.
However, in the Douluo Continent, strength was respected, and Tang Hao was different. Not only was he incredibly powerful, but there was also a connection between the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It wasn't the time to break ties.
"That girl is like me and A Yin," Tang Hao said with a nostalgic look, sighing softly.
Xiao Wu had already been exposed to the Sword Douluo, so there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Once they got through this situation, he would need to talk to Xiao Wu and teach her the method A Yin used to conceal her identity, giving her an added layer of safety while cultivating among humans.
Sword Douluo's heart tightened as he pointed at Tang San and said gravely, "Could it be? Is that young man the child of you and the Blue Silver Emperor?"
Among the group of children below, there were three young boys. Excluding the Star Luo Prince with the White Tiger Martial Soul, only Ma Hongjun and Tang San remained.
Ma Hongjun was clearly out of the question.
This chubby boy not only had an unappealing appearance but also carried himself in a somewhat lewd manner, making it obvious he couldn't be Tang Hao's son.
Hearing Sword Douluo's words, Tang Hao's expression darkened, and an overwhelming aura burst forth from his body. However, considering Sword Douluo's strength, he gradually reined in the aura.
Even so, it had an impact on the surroundings.
The air around them instantly turned chilly.
"Brother Tang Hao, what do you mean by this?" Sword Douluo's face turned slightly cold, and his Soul Power began to flow within him, ready to defend against any sudden attack from Tang Hao.
"Brother Sword, please don't take offense. I just thought of A Yin and couldn't control my emotions," Tang Hao said calmly, steadying his heartbeat.
Ever since A Yin's exposure, he had been living under the constant pressure of being hunted by the Spirit Hall.
He had originally prepared to live in obscurity for the rest of his life, but who would have thought that his son Tang San would reveal the talent of Twin Spirits?
This made his long-dormant heart beat once again.
Now, Tang San was still young, and his talent had yet to fully develop. He needed to remain hidden from outsiders for a while longer.
If the person speaking to him now wasn't Sword Douluo, he might have already swung his hammer.
"Brother Tang Hao, forgive me for being blunt."
Sword Douluo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly turned his gaze to Xiao Wu: "You've already experienced the tragedy of a human and a Soul Beast falling in love once. Are you really going to stand by and watch your son repeat your mistakes?"
