Good news: His dad is a Title Douluo.
Bad news: His dad is a wanted criminal!
Tang San's mood was very complicated right now, causing his emotional points to jump around erratically.
Zhuge Lan was happy to wait, racking up more emotional points.
Seeing the numbers drop, he finally spoke—
"Do you understand now?"
"If you don't appease Ye Lingling's anger, wait until her mother brings a whole bunch of people."
"Once your identity as the son of Tang Hao is revealed, the Clear Sky Sect, the Martial Soul Hall, and the various affiliated families who were ruined by Tang Hao back then will all come after you."
"By then, let alone staying at the academy, you might not even have a place to hide on the vast Douluo Continent."
"Wait until your dear old dad gets back and sticks you on his belt before you start running around and hiding to cultivate."
"Now, are you going to kneel or not?"
Tang San staggered back half a step, his expression a sight to behold.
Joy, anger, sorrow, pain… [Emotion Points +23333]
[Emotion Points +55555]
[Emotion Points +44444]
The others from Shrek Academy were also silent.
They had thought it was a case of favoring love over friendship, but it turned out to be a heroic rescue!
"Sorry, Brother Lan." Oscar lowered his head. "I shouldn't have doubted you. I definitely won't do it again!"
[Emotion Points +11111]
"I'm with you, Blue Bro! I'll blindly trust you from now on!" Ma Hongjun said with conviction.
[Emotion Points +11111]
"Blue Bro, I was wrong too," Dai Mubai admitted, feeling in the wrong.
[Emotion Points +12121]
Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San, hesitating slightly.
She still spoke up, "Blue Bro, I was wrong too, I'm sorry."
[Emotion Points +11111]
[Emotion Points +44444]
Huh?
Looking at the emotion points popping up above Tang San's head, Zhuge Lan seemed to hear the phrase – you've brought this upon yourself!
Good, good, good!
This young master is being so "considerate" of you, and this is how you repay me, huh?
It was indeed right to trick you!
"Time is running out," Zhuge Lan urged. "Little San, if you refuse to apologize, I can just stay out of this."
– If you don't go and kneel, you're on your own.
Tang San's expression twitched.
[Emotion Points +44444]
[Emotion Points +44444]
Kneeling.
The rigid mindset of ancient people made it difficult for him to accept.
He had knelt before Zhuge Lan previously, but that was due to a soul skill's effect.
This was voluntarily kneeling. Were the natures the same?
"Oh, right," Zhuge Lan reminded him, "Your father disappeared after you enrolled. He probably won't be back anytime soon."
—So you'll have to face the pursuit of the Martial Soul Hall and other forces all by yourself.
Tang San's expression darkened! How the hell was he supposed to face this? He was definitely going to die!
Helpless.
Under the threat of life and death, Tang San could only force a smile.
"Thank you, Lan-ge."
"I know what to do."
Zhuge Lan waved his hand, dispersing the soul force barrier.
Tang San walked with heavy steps, inching his way to Ye Lingling.
He stood straight for several seconds.
Finally, having steeled his resolve, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and knelt on the ground.
"Bang—"
A muffled sound echoed, and the nearby pebbles jumped slightly.
"I'm sorry!" Tang San said, each word distinct. "I shouldn't have ambushed you. I was too despicable!"
Ye Lingling's face was full of disdain. Is that all?
She didn't even bother to respond to Tang San.
She nodded to Zhuge Lan, then pulled Dugu Yan away.
Yu Tianheng and the others followed, giving Tang San contemptuous glances as they passed.
They had already learned the "truth" from Ye Lingling.
He acted despicably, using any means necessary, and was spineless, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Heh!
If it weren't for a good captain...
"You should be thanking your captain," Shi Mo sneered. "If it weren't for him, you would have been taken apart today."
Crack—
It was Tang San, grinding his teeth so hard that he nearly shattered them.
[Emotion Points +151515]
Xiao Wu still felt bad for Tang San.
She went to help him up, but Tang San roughly pushed her hand away.
He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and ran off.
Xiao Wu stared in the direction Tang San had gone, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Third Bro… You broke your promise in the flower sea!
"Alright."
Zhuge Lan clapped his hands.
"The show's over, everyone go back and pack your things."
"If all goes as expected, we'll be moving the academy soon."
Mentioning this.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun seemed a bit sad.
They had followed Flender since childhood, living here for over a decade.
They had some feelings for the place.
"Let's go, let's take one last stroll," Ma Hongjun said.
"Alright," Oscar replied. "Lan, we'll go first."
Zhuge Lan waved his hand.
Dai Mubai also greeted them, walking towards the outside of the academy.
—What he missed wasn't inside the academy.
As for the rest, there wasn't much to say.
They'd only been enrolled for a little over a month; what was there to miss?
Zhu Zhuqing said hello and went to practice Spiral Nine Shadows.
Xiao Wu left, looking dejected.
Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran were left, staring at Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan glanced at Meng Yiran, a look of inquiry in his eyes – Why are you looking at me?
"I have some questions about Soul Tools that I don't understand," Meng Yiran said directly. "Could you explain them to me?"
Oh, this again.
"Read the whole thing first, then ask your questions all at once," Zhuge Lan said casually.
He grabbed Ning Rongrong, intending to leave.
But Meng Yiran blocked their way.
"I finished reading it a long time ago," Meng Yiran handed over a notebook. "These are all my questions, take a look."
Zhuge Lan was somewhat surprised.
So fast?
That beginner's guide to Soul Tools was as thick as a fist.
It's fast enough to finish reading it in a day, let alone understand and memorize it.
Looks like this Meng Yiran has some talent.
He took the notes and glanced at them.
Because he had first exchanged for the beginner's guide to Soul Tools, and then had the system copy it into a book.
Answering questions was easy.
"So that's how it is!"
[Emotion Points +11111]
"Can you understand it like that?"
[Emotion Points +11111]
"What a fascinating way of thinking!"
[Emotion Points +23333]
Meng Yiran's thirst for knowledge was far beyond the average person.
Each time a question was answered, her emotion points would jump significantly.
In total.
She contributed almost 30,000 emotion points, far exceeding the 10,000 required to enter the Soul Tool master level.
Made a small profit.
Meng Yiran left, satisfied.
Zhuge Lan, however, fell into thought.
As a big shot with over ten million in assets, 30,000 was nothing.
But… It was too time-consuming!
Almost half an hour was spent just on explaining.
It was conceivable.
As the knowledge became more profound, the time would also continue to increase.
"I've got time."
"Wouldn't Zhuge Lan make more by stirring up some big events?"
"When I first tricked Meng Yiran into coming, I wanted to freeload soul tool knowledge and snag two bodyguards."
"But, as I've come to understand the system..."
"Zhuge Lan realized he didn't need bodyguards at all."
"Even Title Douluos can't intimidate me, I have ways to put them down."
"And..."
"Since I'm only a Soul Elder, beating up Title Douluos can earn me a lot of emotion points, maybe even extra."
"That's one of the reasons I haven't been in a hurry to level up."
A Title Douluo fight is certainly exciting.
But nothing beats a Soul Elder taking down a Title Douluo, right? That's just so much more shocking. With that…
