Tang San's Stern Refusal: Half a Man Was Still a Man!

Tang San's Stern Refusal: Half a Man Was Still a Man!

Just moments ago, while Tang San had been scrubbing toilets with great effort.

The madam suddenly came to find him.

She told Tang San that there was now an opportunity for him to leave Drunken Flower House quickly.

Tang San's eyes immediately flashed as he asked the madam what kind of opportunity it was.

Who would have thought that what she said next would scare Tang San senseless.

According to Drunken Immortal House's unreasonable demands.

He still owed Drunken Flower House around forty Gold Soul Coins.

And a full day of work could only pay off a single Gold Soul Coin.

In other words, by cleaning toilets alone.

He would have to remain at Drunken Flower House for more than forty whole days.

By then.

The daylilies would be cold.

Yet, even so.

After the madam stated the conditions, Tang San still chose to refuse.

Because the madam actually told Tang San.

Drunken Flower House would occasionally receive one or two guests who preferred men.

These guests had no interest whatsoever in the beautiful women of Drunken Flower House.

Instead, they liked pretty boys like Tang San.

If he was willing.

One time would be worth twenty Gold Soul Coins.

He only needed to do it twice to free himself from Drunken Flower House.

Upon hearing about this opportunity.

Tang San's scalp went numb.

Without even thinking, he immediately refused in harsh terms.

Although, for certain reasons, he could only be considered half a man now.

Half a man was still a man.

He would never sell his dignity as a man for a mere handful of Gold Soul Coins.

Tang San believed that once his teacher discovered he was missing.

His teacher would surely do everything possible to find him.

When that time came, he would make Drunken Flower House repay this debt in full!

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.

Flender swept his gaze over the four people standing a short distance before him and said loudly,

"Does anyone have any objections to these pairings?"

"No problem, Dean!"

The voices that answered in unison belonged to Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

"No problem!"

Dai Mubai also blurted it out, though a hint of deeper meaning was concealed in his eyes.

"No problem."

When it was Yu Xiaogang's turn, he answered readily as well.

Being able to assign such a good teammate to Tang San.

Tang San would surely be even more grateful to him once he found out.

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang could not help revealing a smile.

"Good. Since no one has any objections, the pairings for the two-person battles will be arranged this way."

"Tomorrow, you will begin the second phase of training, but there are several restrictions you must remember."

"First, you must not reveal your appearance or tell your opponents your names during Spirit Battles. You will fight entirely under aliases."

Flender had considered this point rather thoroughly.

After all, Shrek's students were still far too young.

Especially someone like Gu Xuan, who had already reached the realm of a Level 30 Soul Elder at twelve years old.

Any one of them would be utterly shocking in the Spirit Master World.

Particularly if they became famous at the Great Soul Arena, Spirit Hall would likely be the first to come knocking.

He had no desire for Shrek Academy to become entangled with Spirit Hall and invite trouble for themselves.

The students nodded, and only then did Flender continue,

"Your aliases are also very simple. I've chosen the easiest numbers to remember. Listen carefully and memorize them."

"Gu Xuan, Shrek Number One!"

"Dai Mubai, Shrek Number Two!"

"Xiao Wu, Shrek Number Three!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, Shrek Number Four!"

"Ma Hongjun, Shrek Number Five!"

"Oscar, Shrek Number Six!"

"Ning Rongrong, Shrek Number Seven!"

"Tang San, Shrek Number Eight!"

The eight of them were numbered from one through eight, from eldest to youngest.

Flender's standard for arranging them was simple: their strength.

Gu Xuan was naturally Number One, followed closely by Dai Mubai.

As Support System Spirit Masters, Oscar and Ning Rongrong were naturally placed toward the end.

As for Tang San, he had only been added today.

On top of that, his strength really was not much to speak of, so he could only be placed last.

After hearing their aliases, everyone silently committed them to memory.

Only one person seemed deeply dissatisfied with these aliases.

It was Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

His disciple had actually been placed last.

Had it been normal circumstances, he could have endured it.

What he could not tolerate was this.

Tang San had actually been ranked behind Oscar and Ning Rongrong, two Support System Spirit Masters.

Did that not mean Yu Xiaogang's disciple was inferior to two supports?

Who the hell could stand that?

Clearly, Yu Xiaogang still could not recognize just how strong his disciple truly was.

The current Tang San was not much better than a support.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong could only be called soft supports who provided buffs and boosts, without any control.

Tang San, meanwhile, could barely be considered a soft support with a little control.

His control duration was short, he had no damage, and he could not stand at the front and take hits.

It could be said that he gathered every possible flaw into one body.

Discarding the strengths and combining the dregs.

Still, Yu Xiaogang forcefully suppressed his anger and did not flare up.

In front of so many teachers and students, he still needed to preserve some of his image.

He would just assume that Flender's temporary arrangement had caused Tang San to be placed last.

At that moment, Flender took out eight prepared masks from his Soul Tool bracelet.

"How you participate in Spirit Battles is up to you."

"These are for you. One each. Wear them properly when you participate in Spirit Battles."

"At the same time, speak less when you are on the stage. Try not to let your opponents learn your ages."

Dai Mubai accepted the masks and distributed them to the others.

He handed Tang San's mask to Yu Xiaogang for safekeeping.

Everyone was familiar with the mask's design. It was the emblem of Shrek Academy.

That green, oily Shrek monster.

Gu Xuan picked up the mask and tried it on.

Although the craftsmanship was rather ordinary.

Once it fitted against his face, it was not particularly inconvenient.

"Next, I'll briefly explain the arrangements for your team battles."

"Since Tang San has only just arrived at Shrek Academy and is still unfamiliar with the academy's level of strength."

"Given Tang San's record of two defeats in two battles at the Soto Great Spirit Arena, I have temporarily decided to assign Tang San as a substitute."

"The other seven will all be starters and participate in the team battles at the Soto Great Spirit Arena!"

Upon hearing Flender's words, even the usually composed Gu Xuan nearly failed to hold it together.

Tang San had gone through so much trouble to join Shrek Academy, only to end up as a substitute?

If his expression control had not been so good, he would have burst out laughing.

What difference was there between this and not coming at all?

As long as nothing happened to the other seven.

Tang San would only be a substitute for every day he remained at Shrek.

Which of the starters was not stronger than him?

If he wanted to take their place, he needed the strength first!

For quite some time to come, Tang San would probably wear out the bench.

Aside from Tang San, everyone else's expressions shifted somewhat strangely.

There were still so many teachers present.

Naturally, they could not act too freely.

But once they were alone later, they definitely would not be able to resist laughing loudly.
