Tang San's Obsession

Yu Xiaogang's death did not cause much of a stir at Blue Tyrant Academy. Only the former Shrek Seven Devils felt indignant over it. The other students had no impression of him at all, let alone knew him. After all, once he came to Blue Tyrant Academy, he had only been responsible for teaching and training the Seven Devils.

When Liu Erlong heard the news, she had suspected Huang Tian's involvement. But after thinking it over, she felt it truly had been an accident. Huang Tian was a man whose word carried weight, and after being with him for so long, she had never seen him lie. If he said he would spare Yu Xiaogang's life, then he truly would not kill Yu Xiaogang.

She had asked Flender to send someone to escort Yu Xiaogang to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Flender had done as told. After Yu Xiaogang died, the person Flender had sent also disappeared. This made her suspect that Flender might have done it, but then she heard that Flender was drowning his sorrows in drink, and she again felt it could not have been him. So, had Yu Xiaogang's death really been an accident?

At this point, everything had become utterly baffling.

Liu Erlong wanted to investigate further, but she suddenly remembered that she had promised not to interfere in Yu Xiaogang's affairs anymore. If she continued looking into it now, she would be slapping herself in the face. To avoid being misunderstood again, Liu Erlong simply stopped caring and treated the matter as a genuine accident before entering seclusion to cultivate.

After finishing his last bottle of wine, two streams of tears slid from the corners of Flender's eyes. Xiaogang, Xiaogang, since your existence had become an obstacle in Erlong's and Lord Huang Tian's hearts, then for Erlong's happiness, your big brother could only sacrifice you.

With a thud, his head slammed onto the dining table, and he fell asleep.

The deaths of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Yu Xiaogang caused quite a commotion in the Heaven Dou Empire, yet none of the factions made any major moves. In the end, they became nothing more than post-meal gossip, and no one cared anymore.

After a month, Liu Erlong broke through to godhood. She did not emerge from seclusion and continued cultivating.

Tang San waited for her for nearly a month without seeing her come out, and fury filled his heart. His teacher had at least been her friend. Now that he had met such an unfortunate end, how could she not come out and seek justice for his teacher?

He went to find his father, Tang Hao, who had remained at the academy, hoping Tang Hao would help him find the true culprit. Tang Hao ignored Tang San's repeated pleas and refused every time. In the end, fed up with Tang San's pestering, he directly left Blue Tyrant Academy and returned to the back mountain of Holy Spirit Village.

What a joke. Was this something I could investigate? It involved far too many people, and even implicated the Temple Master. Even if the Temple Master himself had not acted, his subordinates or those wishing to curry favor with him would have. No matter how you looked at it, Yu Xiaogang was at fault. He never should have come to Blue Tyrant Academy. If nothing had happened to him, no one would have tampered with things.

Now he was already dead—a dead man with no value whatsoever. Was finding the true culprit really that important?

Before leaving, Tang Hao looked toward Flender's office and smiled meaningfully before striding out of the academy. That foolish kid seemed to have a talent for dragging his father into trouble. It was best to stay far away from him as soon as possible.

Tang San had also pestered Flender many times, but Flender always dismissed him with the excuse that he was "still investigating." This idiot was usually so opinionated and clever, yet he could not see the problem here. Had his desire to avenge his teacher muddled his brain?

It seemed the Seven Devils had been too idle lately. He needed to have Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming increase their training regimen. That would keep them from bothering him all the time. Once they were trained to the point of barely surviving, they would have no time to investigate the truth behind their teacher's drowning.

Liu Erlong had already broken through to godhood, so Huang Tian no longer needed to stay with her and cultivate with her every day. From now on, he would devote his time to Tang Yuehua. She had yet to break through to godhood and needed to continue cultivating with Huang Tian to increase her strength.

Bibi Dong had stayed at the Heaven Dou Empire's Spirit Hall Temple for a month, and it was no longer suitable for her to remain there. Thus, she set off to return to Spirit Hall Holy City.

Once Bibi Dong left, the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Family and the major sects all breathed sighs of relief. Bibi Dong had already left them struggling to breathe before becoming a god. After becoming one, she was even more frightening. They feared that if her temper flared, she might directly destroy the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial city. The mighty power of a god was not something ordinary Soul Masters could withstand.

After teleporting back to Moonlight Pavilion, Huang Tian found that Tang Yuehua was not in her room. He swept the area with his Soul Power and saw that she was teaching the children of nobles. He was in no hurry, so he remained in her room and studied his Black Hole Martial Soul. Now possessing the strength of a mid-stage Second-level God, Huang Tian felt even more confident about establishing himself in the God Realm. He only needed his subordinates to become gods one after another. Once at least a hundred of them had become gods, he would bring them to the God Realm, seize a territory, and carve out another pure land for humanity there.

His Black Hole Martial Soul could now easily sense the existence of the God Realm. So long as he wished it, he could open a Spatial Tunnel to the God Realm at any time and travel there. At the same time, if someone from the God Realm wanted to open a spatial passage to descend to the mortal realm, he could easily sense it and promptly repair it. In his view, Douluo Continent was already chaotic enough. If another god or two descended from the God Realm, they would only inflict greater damage on Douluo Continent. By blocking their paths down, they would be unable to descend even if they wanted to.

"Hm? What is that?"

With nothing better to do, Huang Tian was observing the energy seeping from the God Realm into Douluo Continent's World Membrane. He could sense that this energy was extremely powerful, even stronger than his current divine power. Before it, Huang Tian felt like a lone boat drifting upon the sea, liable to be overturned by the waves at any moment.

He stared at that energy in shock. He already possessed the strength of a mid-stage Second-level God, yet he could not even withstand it. Huang Tian guessed it was likely energy unleashed by an expert at the level of a First-level God or higher. He immediately spread out his Black Hole Domain, swiftly enveloping the energy and gradually grinding it away and absorbing it.

"Hm? Husband, when did you arrive?" Tang Yuehua pushed open the door and saw Huang Tian sitting on the bed. After closing the door, she asked with a smile, "Why did you come over from Sister Erlong's place so soon? Has she already broken through to godhood?"

"Yes, she has already broken through to godhood. I let her stabilize her divine power on her own, so I came here. I've neglected you during this time for your Sister Erlong's cultivation. I hope you won't blame me," Huang Tian said with a smile.

"How could I? The fact that Husband came so early shows that Yuehua still holds an important place in Husband's heart. Please wait a moment, Husband. I'll make arrangements for Moonlight Pavilion so I won't forget about teaching after I begin cultivating."

"Yuehua, I think you should resign from this job. Cultivation will take up much of your time in the future. Becoming a god does not mean you can relax. Don't forget that you still have to undergo the tribulation. You only have one year. If you cannot pass it, you will perish," Huang Tian directly offered Tang Yuehua his advice, urging her to quit.

Tang Yuehua was somewhat reluctant. She had been involved in teaching etiquette for over twenty years, and suddenly quitting left her feeling empty inside. But Huang Tian was right—cultivation was more important. Nothing was more important than life. She knew Huang Tian would certainly not stand by and do nothing when she underwent her tribulation, but her own strength was what truly mattered.

"Alright, Husband. I will submit my resignation to His Majesty and no longer serve as the dean of the Royal Etiquette Academy. From now on, Moonlight Pavilion will no longer accept any students." Tang Yuehua
