The Only Way Out

"You're so Xiao San, mistress!"

Yu Xiaogang looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

Tang San didn't refute anything upon hearing this; he was indeed too eager to provoke conflict between the two sides.

However, if it weren't for Zhu Zhuqing, no one would have discovered what he had done.

However, he was very unlucky. Ever since he started his operation, Zhu Zhuqing had been following and observing him.

As the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent, Zhu Zhuqing was worried that relying solely on Spirit Detection would cause problems after discovering that Tang San was planning to do something bad, so she simply came to monitor him directly.

I'm not entirely comfortable entrusting it to someone else.

Then Tang San foolishly walked into the trap that Zhu Zhuqing had specially prepared for him.

Zhu Zhuqing's strength is beyond doubt across the entire continent. Given that Zhu Zhuqing has already decided to kill Tang San, they have no way of protecting Tang San.

"Xiao San, let's see that curse you mentioned."

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. Now was not the time to give up. Although they could not resist Zhu Zhuqing, they could not simply give up on a curse without even glancing at it.

"Okay, teacher."

Although there was still no solution, the presence of Yu Xiaogang and the others brought Tang San a sense of peace.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San shifted his gaze to his own shadow under the watchful eyes of Flender and the others.

Three seconds later, amidst the horrified expressions of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Flender, a pair of scarlet eyes opened.

Seeing those eyes, Flender and Liu Erlong felt as if they were being stared at by a top-tier, tyrannical Soul Beast.

A chill ran from the soles of their feet straight to the Tian Ling, making them feel a deadly threat.

They didn't need to control it at all; the two of them simultaneously possessed their Martial Soul Possession.

Fourteen Soul Ring spun beneath their feet, and their Martial Soul, like their masters, remained solemnly vigilant against the terror lurking in Tang San's shadow as they rose.

Their consciousness seemed to be sucked in by those eyes, and cold sweat began to pour uncontrollably from their heads.

"Flender, Erlong!"

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly called out, but no matter how he called out, the two of them did not respond.

It's like...

"Xiao San, close your eyes!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang quickly stepped forward and covered Tang San's eyes.

Tang San also broke free from his fear and successfully closed his eyes.

As Tang San's sight disappeared, the pair of red eyes in his shadow also vanished.

"Whoosh!" ×2

The moment Flender and Liu Erlong's scarlet eyes disappeared, they collapsed onto the table.

Their heaving chests and drenched sweat revealed the extreme turmoil in their hearts.

"What exactly happened?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the two of them with a blank expression and asked anxiously.

"It's terrifying! The guy hidden in Xiao San's shadow is comparable to a top-tier Soul Beast king with 90,000 years of cultivation. Even ordinary Titled Douluo are not as terrifying as him."

By placing such a figure within the Xiao San's shadow, Zhu Zhuqing clearly had no intention of letting the Xiao San go.

"An existence of that level is untouchable unless Titled Douluo intervenes."

"Flender said with lingering fear."

Looking at Tang San, Flender now felt like saying, "Why don't we just let it go?"

He's just a disciple; there's no need to offend Zhu Zhuqing.

Shrek Academy has sent away at least 30, if not 40, Heavenly Prodigy over the years.

Apart from Qin Ming, none of the graduates wanted to have anything to do with Shrek Academy anymore.

This shows just how unpopular Flender was.

Furthermore, if they truly cared about student development, the student attrition rate at Shrek Academy wouldn't have been so high in the past.

So now, Flender really does have the idea of abandoning Tang San, but he hasn't shown it.

"Titled Douluo?"

"If we use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill together, can't we get that curse out of Xiao San's shadow?"

What Tang San could think of, Yu Xiaogang could naturally think of as well.

"I don't know, but what's the point of typing it out?"

What wants Tang San's life now is not that curse comparable to Titled Douluo, but that invincible Empress of the continent!

So what if we break a curse?

She wants Tang San dead. Who can stop her?

Flender scratched his head, feeling that ever since Tang San came to his academy, troubles had been constantly arising.

Now they've even provoked the strongest person in the world.

Instead of doing this, we might as well have disbanded Shrek Academy in the first place.

What are they doing now?

Trying to save someone from the clutches of an unparalleled powerhouse?

It's not a big deal if he dies, but what if that guy takes his anger out on Shrek?

You should know that guy is notoriously ruthless and vicious.

Upon hearing Flender's words Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Tang San all fell silent.

Although Flender's words were hurtful, they were true. The problem that needed to be solved first to save Tang San was not that curse.

The main problem to be solved is actually Zhu Zhuqing.

Otherwise, they would have just finished dealing with the so-called curse, and Zhu Zhuqing could slap them at any time, leaving these little Karami with no chance of survival.

"Then what should we do?"

Zhu Zhuqing's strength is unparalleled throughout the entire continent; even Bibi Dong, that woman, is no match for her.

"I'm annoyed, "Liu Erlong said.

She no longer cares that Bibi Dong is Yu Xiaogang's ex-girlfriend; for her and Yu Xiaogang now, protecting Tang San is the top priority.

However, even the strongest leverage she could think of, Bibi Dong, was no match for Zhu Zhuqing.

There was no way to protect Tang San.

She found it strange; Zhu Zhuqing was already so strong, so why was she still so concerned about these trivial matters?

It's just a child, why make such a fuss?

"Well, now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to abandon all pretense of dignity."

Yu Xiaogang sighed and said.

"Xiao Gang, what are you going to do?"

Flender and Liu Erlong asked at the same time.

"Her strength is unmatched on the entire continent; trying to talk to her with fists is simply futile."

No one can protect the Xiao San in front of her unless they are not afraid of death.

There's only one way to save the Xiao San now.

Yu Xiaogang looked toward the Star Luo Resting Area.

The only way to save Tang San now is to beg Zhu Zhuqing to show leniency and let Tang San go.

"Xiao San, this is your only chance to live. Doing this may make you feel humiliated and angry, but you have to endure it no matter what."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and said.

"Teacher..."

Tang San clenched his fists tightly; he knew what his teacher wanted to do.

But he also understood that it was probably his only chance, and the chance of survival was less than 10%.

But this was the only chance they could grasp for survival.

Having endured a day of torment, Tang San's sharp edges had been smoothed out. Infinity close to death, he now deeply understood the true meaning of life.

All he wants now is to live, even if it means sacrificing all his dignity and ideals.

He still had too many ties that made him reluctant to die like this.
