Yu Xiaogang did not want to die—especially not at Tang Hao's hands.
He had yet to take revenge on Zhou Sidong. His disciple had not yet become a Titled Douluo. The humiliation he suffered had not been washed away, and the name Yu Xiaogang had not truly resounded across the Douluo Continent.
At this very moment, Yu Xiaogang was deeply conflicted.
"Yu Xiaogang, please state clearly who attacked you that day."
Prince Xue Xing asked again, his tone growing increasingly impatient.
"Your Highness Prince Xue Xing, it was too dark that night. I truly did not see clearly who the attacker was."
Yu Xiaogang could only brush it off. Though he hated Tang Hao to the bone, he lacked the courage to actually name "Tang Hao."
"Is that so?"
Prince Xue Xing looked at Yu Xiaogang's complicated expression and said bluntly,"Concealing the truth to protect another is an added crime. I advise you to think carefully. Once we uncover the truth ourselves, then… heh heh heh…"
That indifferent smile made Yu Xiaogang shudder all over.
Beside him, Liu Erlong was also restless. Knowing full well who the culprit was, she truly wanted to say that the attacker was Tang Hao.
The room fell into dead silence.
Yu Xiaogang sank into silence. Liu Erlong casually found an excuse and stepped out. She believed Yu Xiaogang would never say that the man was Tang Hao.
"Yu Xiaogang, I hope you think it through before answering."
Faced with Prince Xue Xing's relentless pressure, Yu Xiaogang's expression turned grave. He clenched his teeth and said,"It was Zhou Sidong! Zhou Sidong was the one who beat me! Yes—him!"
The moment those words left his mouth, Prince Xue Xing's expression instantly became rich and varied.
"Yu Xiaogang, are you slandering him?"
Prince Xue Xing looked at him with a half-smile.
"Your Highness Prince Xue Xing, I… I don't understand what you mean?"
Yu Xiaogang met Prince Xue Xing's gaze seriously, his expression solemn. When it came to shamelessness, Yu Xiaogang had no equal.
"Zhou Sidong was resting in his dormitory that night. Moreover, at the time of the incident, our people had already rushed to your tent. The attacker was tall and burly. Although his face couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, someone saw that the assailant had a thick beard. Are you sure that person was Zhou Sidong?"
As soon as Prince Xue Xing said this, Yu Xiaogang instantly lost his composure.
"..."
Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth, panic flashing across his face.
"It seems you know who the culprit really is."
Prince Xue Xing smiled faintly, looking at him teasingly.
"..."
Yu Xiaogang remained silent from start to finish. He then closed his eyes, no longer responding to any of Prince Xue Xing's questions.
"I understand now. Yu Xiaogang, the charge of shielding the culprit has been established. I give you three days to voluntarily confess who the attacker was. Otherwise, Shrek Academy can wait for punishment."
Prince Xue Xing flicked his sleeve and left.
"Today I've finally witnessed Yu Xiaogang's thick skin. Seeing it once is better than hearing about it a hundred times—I truly feel inferior."
Prince Xue Xing's parting words made Yu Xiaogang's blood boil, rage surging through him.
Only after Prince Xue Xing left did Liu Erlong come back in.
"Xiaogang, you shouldn't have said the one who attacked you was Zhou Sidong."
Liu Erlong sighed. The Yu Xiaogang of the past had been a good man—how had he changed into someone she could no longer recognize?
"I say whoever I say! Zhou Sidong has humiliated me time and again—can't I name him this time?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot. Wrapped in bandages, he was already on the verge of collapse, for Tang Hao could come back at any moment.
"Tang Hao is truly insane—beating you into this state. Why would he do such a thing?"
Tears welled up in Liu Erlong's eyes as she spoke resentfully.
"Who knows what that madman is thinking?"
Yu Xiaogang felt uneasy, unable to understand the reason.
Perhaps Liu Erlong was right—Tang Hao really had gone mad.
Outside the room.
Prince Xue Xing was secretly eavesdropping. After confirming who the culprit was, he did not hesitate and quietly left Shrek Academy, returning to the Royal Hunting Ground to report to Emperor Xue Ye.
Royal Hunting Ground.
The battle between Divine Wind Academy and Shrek Academy gradually reached a fever pitch.
Dai Mubai and Feng Xiaotian went all out. As the captains of their respective teams, their attacks were relentless and varied—so much so that even the usually bored Zhou Sidong couldn't help but watch a little longer.
"Who do you think will win?""Zhu Zhuqing" asked.
"Feng Xiaotian,"Zhou Sidong replied.
"Whether it's soul power level or physical fitness, Feng Xiaotian holds the advantage. Dai Mubai may have broken through level forty, but unfortunately…"
The immortal medicinal herb had already been intercepted by Zhou Sidong. Without the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Dai Mubai's physical condition was naturally inferior to Feng Xiaotian's. Moreover, Feng Xiaotian possessed a mutated martial soul and innate full soul power.
"Unfortunately what?""Zhu Zhuqing" asked.
"Unfortunately, Feng Xiaotian's opponent is Dai Mubai. I really dislike that guy."
Zhou Sidong waved his hand and fixed his gaze on the arena.
At that very moment, Feng Xiaotian's wings transformed into razor-sharp blades. After dodging the White Tiger Meteor Shower launched by Dai Mubai, he instantly sent Dai Mubai flying. The blade struck solidly against Dai Mubai's chest, shredding his clothing and leaving a horrifying gash across his muscular torso. Blood gushed out—so deep the bone was visible!
"Big Brother Dai!"
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others rushed forward, hurriedly carrying the injured Dai Mubai back.
Feng Xiaotian's attack was vicious. The bone-deep wound on Dai Mubai's chest made Tang San and the others' blood boil, their faces turning as dark as pig liver.
"Tang San is going on."
Zhou Sidong watched as Tang San stepped onto the arena. His expression was gloomy as five soul rings gradually lit up beneath his feet.
Then Feng Xiaotian said,"Divine Wind Academy concedes."
Those sudden words made Tang San freeze slightly. He then looked at Feng Xiaotian, who was smiling, and asked,"You're conceding just like that? Our match hasn't even started!"
Tang San spoke unwillingly. He had planned to deal Feng Xiaotian a heavy blow in this match—yet his opponent surrendered outright,不给他任何教训对方的机会.
Feng Xiaotian crossed his arms and smiled bitterly."Tang San, yesterday you severely injured the students of Barak Academy—they still can't get out of bed. Divine Wind Academy isn't stupid. We won't give you a chance for revenge. The promotion round has only just begun—I'm not foolish enough to fight a Soul King like you. Bye-bye!"
Feng Xiaotian waved his hand and walked straight off the arena under Tang San's hateful glare.
A wasted effort—drawing water with a bamboo basket.
Faced with Divine Wind Academy's sudden concession, Tang San was at a loss. Holding in a suffocating breath, he also left the arena and, after returning to the stands, helped carry the injured Dai Mubai away.
"Your Majesty, everything has been investigated…"
At this moment, Prince Xue Xing returned from Shrek Academy. After reporting everything to Emperor Xue Ye—
"That Yu Xiaogang truly won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. His skin is thicker than my city walls! To actually slander Zhou Sidong—such a person living on is truly unfortunate. No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan expelled him."
Emperor Xue Ye shook his head in dissatisfaction after hearing of Yu Xiaogang's actions, feeling sorry that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had produced such a rogue.
"If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is ever destroyed in the future, Yu Xiaogang will bear unavoidable responsibility."
Prince Xue Xing smiled bitterly, having nothing more to say about Yu Xiaogang.
He then asked,"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Emperor Xue Ye fell into contemplation. The culprit had already been confirmed—Haotian Douluo Tang Hao. He looked toward the direction where Shrek Academy had left the field.
Tang Hao was Tang San's father.
And Tang San, as he knew, was Yu Xiaogang's disciple.
For Tang Hao to attack Yu Xiaogang—this was beyond Emperor Xue Ye's expectations. What kind of deep hatred could drive Tang Hao to act without restraint and strike with lethal intent?
"For now, we won't pursue Tang Hao's responsibility. As for Yu Xiaogang… Xue Xing, go erect a stele at the entrance of Shrek Academy. That will be all. Treat it as punishment—let Yu Xiaogang recognize himself."
Under Emperor Xue Ye's orders, Prince Xue Xing dared not delay and immediately went to carry out the task.
A Monument of Shame would be erected at Shrek Academy's entrance, clearly engraving the deeds Yu Xiaogang had committed, to let the entire continent know—serving as a warning to all.
After the day's promotion matches ended.
All academies returned to their respective tents to discuss their next opponents.
Aside from Shrek Academy, which was busy treating Dai Mubai's chest wound, the others were engaged in active discussions.
Zhou Sidong's tent.
"Blazing Fire Academy conceded?"
"Zhu Zhuqing" repeatedly confirmed the news.
"My heavens! Your infamy has already spread everywhere. Finding an opponent willing to fight you is really not easy."
She smiled bitterly. With no matches to fight, there was nothing she could do.
Blazing Fire Academy had been Zhou Sidong's first opponent in the qualifiers. Back then, even Huo Wu's Blazing Sun couldn't injure Zhou Sidong in the slightest. If they didn't concede, what else could they do?
Charge in headfirst?
Obviously not.
Just as Feng Xiaotian had said—none of them were idiots.
The promotion round had only just begun. If they were as brainless as Barak Academy, then everyone here would be beyond saving.
At this moment, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe walked in.
Zhou Sidong and "Zhu Zhuqing" exchanged a glance and stood up to greet him.
"Brother Xue, what brings you here today?"Zhou Sidong asked with a smile.
"Your infamy has already echoed throughout this place. Even Blazing Fire Academy conceded. Among these fifteen teams, aside from Shrek Academy, I'm afraid you won't find many opponents willing to face you."
Xue Qinghe said with a teasing smile.
"Yes—being invincible is truly lonely."
Zhou Sidong sighed lightly, then looked at Xue Qinghe and asked,"Brother, do you have something?"
"I do. I came to inform you that the culprit behind Yu Xiaogang's attack two nights ago has been identified—it was Haotian Douluo Tang Hao. And when Prince Xue Xing went to Shrek Academy to question Yu Xiaogang, he actually claimed that you were the one who beat him."
