Extra Lessons? Even a Feast for Tang San Would Be Useless!

Extra Lessons? Even a Feast for Tang San Would Be Useless!

Ever since Zhu Zhuqing entered Shrek Academy.

The only times she had smiled were when she spoke with Gu Xuan and the two girls.

The other ninety-nine percent of the time, she wore this expression.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun and Oscar, the two veteran spectators beside them.

Looked at each other and whispered among themselves.

The two of them had spent a long time with Dai Mubai.

They understood his personality fairly well.

Dai Mubai rarely joked about such matters.

They exchanged glances, then nodded to each other.

They had clearly chosen to believe what Dai Mubai had just said.

Ning Rongrong nodded skeptically.

Though she came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had hardly concerned herself with matters outside the sect since childhood.

So she had never heard of Yu Xiaogang.

Her mind was a mess now, and she did not know who was telling the truth.

She turned to glance at Gu Xuan and Xiao Wu, who had already moved off to the side again.

A strange feeling unexpectedly arose in Ning Rongrong's heart.

If Dai Mubai's words just now had come from Gu Xuan without changing a single word.

She would probably have believed them outright.

Shaking her head, Ning Rongrong forced herself to stop thinking about such nonsense.

When she turned her head, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been beside her, had somehow already gone far ahead.

She hurriedly waved her arm and called out,

"Zhuqing, wait for me."

With that, she jogged after Zhu Zhuqing.

The two linked arms and left together.

"Uh..."

The plan had failed, and it had not even produced the slightest effect.

A very obvious look of embarrassment appeared on Dai Mubai's face.

"Boss Dai, why do you think the dean kept Tang San behind?"

"Could he be giving him extra lessons with that so-called Grandmaster?"

Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai, still not satisfied.

"Yeah, yeah."

Oscar chimed in as well.

The two had always followed behind Dai Mubai.

So they had not noticed that his expression was somewhat off.

They kept following after him, chattering endlessly with questions.

"How the fuck would I know!"

"If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?"

"With Tang San's level? Extra lessons?"

"Even a fucking feast would be useless!"

After throwing out those words, Dai Mubai suddenly quickened his pace.

He left without looking back.

The sudden change in attitude completely confused Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

What the hell was that about?

The two exchanged looks and shrugged, their faces full of confusion and bewilderment.

Still, Boss Dai's last two remarks really were not wrong.

Tang San really was ridiculously weak.

They had not known the reason before.

But after seeing Yu Xiaogang today.

All of Shrek's students understood why Tang San had clearly failed Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam.

Yet had still been allowed to study at the academy.

Now, it seemed he had relied entirely on his Grandmaster teacher.

With the relationship between Yu Xiaogang and the dean, getting Tang San into the academy through the back door.

Was not something that could be done with just a casual word?

The more that was the case, the more they looked down on Tang San.

If you got in through connections but remained humble and eager to learn.

Most people would only mock you a couple of times before letting it go.

But Tang San always insisted on showing off in front of everyone.

And every time he tried, he made a complete fool of himself.

A textbook case of being weak yet loving to show off.

At the same time, only Tang San and Yu Xiaogang remained on the training ground.

After watching Flender walk away, Yu Xiaogang finally looked at Tang San with a stern expression.

Then he harshly rebuked him,

"Little San, did you become lazy the moment I was no longer by your side?"

"I already know about everything you have done. You have truly disappointed me as your teacher!"

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang angrily flicked his sleeve.

"Teacher, I have failed your teachings."

"I have failed your expectations."

"I did not pass Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam. I..."

By the end, Tang San had absurdly begun to choke up.

His eyes reddened, his expression grew agitated, and his entire body started trembling uncontrollably.

He was now kneeling on both knees, his upper body half-prostrated.

Facing Yu Xiaogang, he somewhat resembled a subject kneeling before his sovereign.

It was clear that Yu Xiaogang held an extremely high position in Tang San's heart.

"Little San, get up quickly..."

Tang San's display deeply moved Yu Xiaogang as well.

He hurried forward and used his only left hand to help Tang San up.

Then the two embraced tightly.

Tang San's behavior after entering Shrek Academy had truly brought Yu Xiaogang no honor.

Instead, it had caused him to lose considerable face.

It had even made Yu Xiaogang doubt himself at one point.

How would he ever tell others that Tang San was his disciple?

But seeing Tang San's sincere appearance now.

His original thoughts changed in an instant.

Had I always expected too much from Tang San?

Take Gu Xuan, who had graduated from Nuoding Academy alongside Tang San, for example.

At thirteen, he had already broken through Level 30 and reached the rank of Soul Elder.

Such talent was exceptionally rare even across the entire Douluo Continent.

Calling him a genius was not an exaggeration at all.

Since he had failed to take Gu Xuan as his disciple at Nuoding Academy.

Yu Xiaogang had always held onto that regret.

Afterward, he placed all his hopes on Tang San.

He hoped Tang San could defeat Gu Xuan and bring him some honor.

Yet things had never gone as he wished.

"Perhaps I put too much pressure on Tang San."

This thought suddenly arose in Yu Xiaogang's mind.

According to his own invincible theory.

When people were under great pressure, cultivation could instead produce entirely different results.

Some might turn pressure into motivation, causing their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

Others, under immense pressure, might be unable to reach even their normal cultivation level.

In his view, Tang San belonged to the latter category.

"That is no longer important. Your physical condition is far too poor right now!"

"And from what I can see, your cultivation does not seem to have made any progress either."

"The most important thing now is to recover your body as quickly as possible."

"Then make up for the studies you neglected during this time and begin cultivating again with urgency."

Only after Yu Xiaogang said this did Tang San realize that he truly had not cultivated properly for a long time.

Ever since he and his teacher had parted ways in Nuoding City and headed for Suotuo City, quite some time had passed.

Although his Soul Power had risen by one level.

Back in Nuoding City, he had already shown signs of breaking through.

Tang San even felt that his Level 28 Soul Power seemed rather inflated.

Especially after Meng Yiran had utterly crushed him in the Star Dou Great Forest.

That was when he truly began to doubt himself.

Thinking of this, Tang San nodded and spoke with great sincerity,

"Teacher, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

With Yu Xiaogang by his side, Tang San felt hope again,
