Tang San's Twenty-Year Pact

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

Tang San was practically about to kneel.

What? Yu Yuanzhen, a dignified Titled Douluo, had actually become like a docile little pet?

He had even thanked Raiden Mei.

Had the world turned upside down?

"Grandpa? What the heck is your Dragon Transformation Secret Art?"

It was not even mealtime yet, and Mei had already left to cook.

Starry Sky felt that just watching Yu Yuanzhen was far too boring.

So, he asked about their secret art.

"The Dragon Transformation Secret Art is a Self-Created Soul Skill produced through bloodline resonance after our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul absorbs Soul Rings from dragon-blooded soul beasts."

Since Raiden Shogun could cut Yu Yuanzhen down with a single strike, he felt there was no harm in helping this little fellow uncover a few secrets.

After all, the other party might not even think much of his meager abilities.

Still, he asked curiously:

"Little friend, why are you asking about my clan's secret art? This is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's secret method, never passed down to outsiders."

"Grandpa, I'm just curious. There's someone at my school who calls himself Grandmaster. He said he's recently been researching theories related to dragon transformation secret arts, hoping to develop beast transformation secret arts for all Beast Martial Souls. Right, Qing?"

Starry Sky winked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Yes, there is such a thing. I also hope this research succeeds. I have a Beast Martial Soul too, and I want to gain the benefits and Self-Created Soul Skills brought by beast transformation."

Tang San's pupils flickered at those words. Grandmaster? Someone who liked doing research.

Wasn't that his teacher?

So Yu Xiaogang had become so formidable that he had begun researching the abilities of Titled Douluo!

His teacher truly had some skill.

With that thought, Tang San could not help straightening his back.

He felt extremely proud to have a teacher like Yu Xiaogang.

So what if Starry Sky had caught the eye of a Titled Douluo and was going to be taken as his disciple?

As the saying went, there was no strongest mentor, only the teacher most suited to oneself.

There were fewer than a handful of people with Twin Martial Souls on the entire Douluo Continent.

Without the right person to guide him, he would surely end up playing himself into an explosion.

With Yu Xiaogang, the Grandmaster of the theoretical world, teaching him, he was far better off than being taught by a brute like Yu Yuanzhen, who only knew how to fight.

Tang San secretly rejoiced, and a sense of superiority instantly filled his body and mind, making him feel quite pleased.

"Ha ha ha! Researching beast transformation secret arts? Is this supposed to be a joke?"

However, after Yu Yuanzhen heard this, he clutched his stomach and laughed.

"A dragon is a dragon. A dragon's secret art can only be a dragon's secret art! It can't be used on a dog to turn it into a wolf!"

"Grandmaster... I seem to remember him! Hmph! So it's him..."

"Grandpa, do you know Yu Xiaogang?" Starry Sky asked.

"Just a piece of trash. I was the one who expelled him from the family back then!"

The thought of Yu Xiaogang angered him. Back then, Yu Yuanzhen had been in the prime of his life, holding up the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yet the son he had produced possessed nothing more than a trash mutated martial soul with innate half-rank Soul Power.

He had been mocked by countless people because of it.

In the end, Yu Xiaogang had even stirred up trouble across the Douluo Continent with some stolen theories, ruining Yu Yuanzhen's reputation.

"You... You were the one who expelled my teacher from the family!"

Tang San's eyes widened in fury. Yu Xiaogang had told him about his miserable past.

As a disciple who respected his teacher, how could he stand idly by now that he had encountered the chief culprit behind his teacher's tragedy?

If Starry Sky and the others had not been here, and no one knew he was Yu Xiaogang's disciple,

Yu Yuanzhen could insult his teacher however he pleased.

But in front of so many people, he could not possibly do nothing.

With the air of defending his teacher's honor, he glared hatefully at Yu Yuanzhen, one of the top figures on the entire continent.

"Hm? That trash Yu Xiaogang's disciple? Heh heh, you've got some nerve. Yu Xiaogang has to kneel when speaking before me, so what the hell are you?"

Yu Yuanzhen was, after all, a Titled Douluo. Even after being defeated by Raiden Shogun, he remained arrogant and overbearing toward such trash!

"A person's worth is not reflected solely in their strength and martial soul. The wisdom and talent my teacher possesses are unmatched by anyone in this world! If you still have even a shred of shame, you should apologize to my teacher!"

Tang San could not defeat Yu Yuanzhen, so he could only launch a verbal assault.

"That's hilarious. Yu Xiaogang taught you those words, didn't he? Heh heh, as expected, they're all just lies for fooling children. No matter what world it is, strength is supreme!"

Yu Yuanzhen chuckled.

"Strength is supreme? Then do you know that my teacher once became an elder of Spirit Hall because of those theories? The title of Spirit Hall elder could only be bestowed upon Titled Douluo throughout history. That already proves my teacher's value is on par with you Titled Douluo!"

Tang San curled his lips upward. This was perfectly clear evidence.

"Is that so? Little fellow, then do you know why he could brazenly claim those theories as his own? And why, after Yu Xiaogang took Spirit Hall's historical records of the maximum Soul Ring absorption limits, causing many Soul Masters to die after their bodies exploded, no one has dared touch him even now?"

Yu Yuanzhen raised the corners of his mouth and snorted heavily through his nostrils.

"That's because Yu Xiaogang's surname is Yu! He is also the shame I fathered! No matter how worthless he is, no one dares refuse to give me face by killing him!"

"You're... Teacher's father?!"

Tang San's eyes widened. He found it difficult to imagine that Yu Xiaogang's father was actually a Titled Douluo.

And it was this very father who had driven Yu Xiaogang away!

"Why? Aren't you his father? Why were you so heartless, driving Teacher out of the family and making him suffer such humiliation?!"

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has no need for such trash!"

Yu Yuanzhen held no goodwill whatsoever toward Yu Xiaogang.

"I'll remember the grudge you bear against my teacher! Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Fine! Give me twenty years! In twenty years, I will definitely go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and seek justice for my teacher!"

Tang San furiously threw down those harsh words.

Then he turned and left.

Getting some satisfaction from his words was enough. He had no desire to go head-to-head with a Titled Douluo.

Once word of today's events spread, he, Tang San, would be known as someone who dared make a wager with a Titled Douluo for his teacher's sake!

Such courage and boldness would surely earn people's admiration!

"Heh heh! As if I'd be afraid of you!"

Yu Yuanzhen was not intimidated in the slightest.

What waves could Tang San possibly stir up in a mere twenty years?

"A twenty-year pact? Pfft..."

Such a long deadline would have made the person next door holding a ruler laugh their teeth out!

Afterward, the group chatted here for a while longer, and Starry Sky asked quite a few questions about martial souls.

The Titled Douluo had his own insights as well.

Starry Sky and Zhu Zhuqing both benefited greatly.

"So your gentle older sister likes cooking! Little Kong, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Yu Yuanzhen had also been asking about Raiden Shogun and Raiden Mei.

After learning of their hobbies, Yu Yuanzhen wanted to curry favor with them and gain some benefits.

Mei was cooking now, so he planned to go help.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, the purple figure was highly conspicuous. He hurried over, somewhat puzzled to see Mei dressed in a kimono.

He was startled, thinking she was Raiden Shogun.

But Raiden Shogun was imposing and aloof. How could she look so excited while eating sweet pastries?

Thus, he assumed Raiden Mei had changed clothes and quickly said to her:

"Miss, how is your cooking coming along? How about I help? I heard your cooking is the best, and I'd like to have a taste too!"

Raiden Ei's calm eyes suddenly lit up. With a trace of delight in her heart, she asked:

"Do you really want to eat?"

Yu Yuanzhen grinned and nodded repeatedly. "Of course I do! I want to eat a whole big pot!"
