Dugu Bo: If You Weren't So Disgusting, Who Would Want Anything to Do with You?!

"Dad!"

No sooner had Li Yu finished speaking than the smugness in Tang San's eyes turned to panic.

He immediately began calling for his father.

This was clearly an outcome he had never expected, nor one he ever wanted to see happen.

"Clear Sky Crown!"

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others immediately panicked as well.

If Tang San had his Soul Bone stripped away at this age, even if he was not completely crippled, he would be half-crippled.

At that point, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament would truly have nothing to do with Shrek anymore!

Now, although the academy had lost Ning Rongrong, the other six were still top-tier geniuses and still had a chance to contend for first or second place!

But if the team lost Tang San, its backbone, then things would truly become uncertain.

"Miss Li Yu is really bold. She actually dared to ask for that!"

"If it were me, I'd have long since knelt and thanked him for sparing my life..."

"That's why you'll never become someone as outstanding as Miss Li Yu!"

"Tch, as if you're anything special..."

"..."

The people in the stands were also talking among themselves.

Qian Renxue, Ning Fengzhi, Prince Xue Xing, and the others also showed strange expressions, but none of them spoke up to interfere.

With Dugu Bo backing Li Yu now, she did not need them to say anything.

Ning Fengzhi in particular.

Although he thought highly of Li Yu, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had figures such as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, the sect was, after all, one of the Upper Three Sects alongside the Clear Sky Sect. It truly was not suitable for them to interfere in this matter.

That was why he had just signaled for Li Yu to give up.

But things were different now. He could quietly watch it all unfold. No matter the outcome, whether Tang Hao or the Clear Sky Sect, neither could drag the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into it.

"Junior, have you thought this through?"

Tang Hao was also quite surprised. Combined with Tang San's cry of "Dad," the fury in his heart was now ten, even a hundred times stronger than before.

But with Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo nearby, he could not easily act out.

He could only patiently ask once more.

"Heh."

Dugu Bo suddenly chuckled, his eyes filled with mockery.

Tang Hao only felt his fifty-something-year-old face flush crimson, though fortunately he had not revealed his true appearance, sparing himself the humiliation of being seen by others.

"Though I am young, I understand the principle that a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I have made my decision, I naturally will not regret it!"

Li Yu smiled faintly, then urged, "Your Excellency, please!"

Qian Renxue, who had fallen behind after Li Yu stepped forward, curled her lips into a smile upon hearing this.

Li Yu's words seemed to say that she would not regret her decision.

But in truth, she was mocking Tang San and the people of Shrek for going back on their word.

They had started the bet themselves, yet wanted to renege after losing. It was truly shameless beyond measure.

Besides.

When Qian Renxue learned Tang San's identity, killing intent had also risen in her heart.

She knew Tang Hao!

He was a great enemy of Spirit Hall and of her father, Qian Xunji!

He had actually fallen in love with a Soul Beast and fathered a child. That child had now reached this age, and judging by the talent he had displayed, he was exceptionally gifted.

Coupled with what had happened today, he would surely become a great enemy in the future!

Thus, Qian Renxue was already considering how to kill Tang San!

Furthermore, she was rather curious whether a child born of a Soul Beast and a human would produce a Soul Ring like a Soul Beast after being killed.

"Dad!"

Seeing Tang Hao threaten Li Yu again and again to no effect, Tang San became even more panicked.

His cries for his father turned shrill.

Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others looked even worse.

"Shut up!"

Tang Hao snorted coldly. Today's events had already caused him to lose all face.

Tang San had usually been a source of pride for him, yet now he showed not the slightest bit of a man's resolve!

Tang Hao could not help but feel disappointed in Tang San.

But he was still his child, and Tang Hao could not bring himself to act.

If possible, he would even have been willing to use the Soul Bones on his own body to pay Tang San's "wager."

But they were currently within Heaven Dou Imperial City.

If he stripped away his own Soul Bones, his strength would inevitably be greatly affected.

At that time, his enemies—especially Spirit Hall's experts—would likely not let the matter rest.

Nor could he guarantee that he would be able to take Tang San away safely!

Moreover, the Soul Bones within his body were of great importance.

Among them, the Right Arm Bone and Left Leg Bone were both inherited treasures of the Clear Sky Sect and absolutely could not be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders.

As for the Right Leg Bone, not only had it been produced by Ah Yin, it was also at the Hundred Thousand Years level!

Its value and significance were not something an ordinary External Soul Bone could compare to.

Thus, after some consideration, his furious Spiritual Power swept over Li Yu, only to be noticed by Dugu Bo in time and immediately stopped.

Unfortunately, Li Yu was still injured by it, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Yet Li Yu was not angered in the slightest. Instead, she smiled as she stared at Tang San, enjoying the terror on his face.

But just because she was not angry did not mean everyone else felt the same.

"What does Clear Sky Crown mean by this?"

Qian Renxue was the first to speak. She stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Li Yu's waist, showing no attempt to hide their relationship.

"The famed Clear Sky Douluo is actually such a petty man. This old man has truly had his eyes opened!"

Dugu Bo also snorted coldly, and the pressure emanating from him suddenly intensified.

He looked ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Then Dugu Bo's voice rang out again. "If you, Tang Hao, cannot bear to do it, this old man can lend you a hand!"

As soon as he spoke.

Dugu Bo's powerful Spiritual Power surged toward Tang San without the slightest restraint.

Tang San's face went pale, and a flash of eerie green light suddenly flickered across it.

But Tang Hao reacted swiftly. The instant Dugu Bo attacked, he had already suppressed the poison.

He roared in a muffled voice, "Old bastard, are you determined to make an enemy of me?"

"Heh. If you did fewer disgusting things, who would want anything to do with you!"

Dugu Bo looked disdainful, then urged him again, "Hurry up. It's just stripping a bone. What are you dawdling for?"

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched at his words.

Stripping a bone?

Was he treating a Soul Bone like a chicken claw?

"Hmph!"

Tang Hao gave a cold snort, and the oppressive aura hanging over the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Soul Arena visibly grew heavier.

Clearly, he was in a very bad mood.

But then Tang Hao's voice sounded again. "I can handle this myself. I won't trouble an old bag of bones like you!"

After a pause, he threatened Li Yu once more. "I only hope this little girl can stomach it!"

"That is none of the concern of a rude, hypocritical junior who loves to spout nonsense. With this old man here, no one will be able to snatch Miss Li Yu's things away."

Dugu Bo's poison arts were peerless, and even his tongue seemed to have been tempered with poison. When it came to trading barbs, he naturally would not lose to anyone.

Tang Hao fell silent.

Then his aura descended, enveloping Tang San's body before lifting him into the air.

Terrifying power acted upon Tang San, forcing the Eight Spider Lances from his back.

Tang San's body trembled, his face twisting in agony. "Dad! Tang Hao! I'm your son! How can you treat me like this..."
