Great Master Yu: What a Filial Child!

Great Master Yu: What a Filial Child!

Tang San's personality was practically a living embodiment of the typical Chinese protagonist.

He had fierce ambitions and a selfish nature. He tried to control everything, even sacrificing those around him as long as he believed it would benefit his plans.

Take his own daughter, Tang Wutong, for example. He had actually split her into two and used her to seduce Huo Yuhao, the Son of the Plane. That showed just how unscrupulous he was.

Yet he had one fatal flaw: he cared far too much about maintaining his image as a hypocrite—no, a gentleman.

Even after becoming a god and gaining overwhelming power, he still cared about other people's opinions and evaluations of him as much as any ordinary mortal.

Because Tang Hao had completely neglected him while he was growing up, Tang San suffered from an extreme lack of love, almost to the point of becoming pathological.

Moreover, in his previous life, he had been an unvalued outer disciple. After stealing the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record from the inner sect, he had been expelled from the Tang Sect and subjected to endless humiliation and contempt.

He longed for attention and recognition, yet his upbringing had left him deeply insecure.

This contradictory state of mind made him especially afraid of one particular tactic: moral coercion!

Sure enough, after hearing Shen He's words, Tang San's expression instantly became firm and resolute.

He understood that he could not allow anything that might damage his reputation to happen.

Although he was also deeply concerned about the life and safety of his teacher, Great Master Yu, he valued his image and reputation in everyone's eyes even more.

No matter what, I can't stand by and watch my teacher die. Otherwise, if word gets out, my pure and spotless image as a great sage will be ruined!

Then, steeling his heart, he pressed his mouth directly against the wound.

While Tang San helped Great Master Yu detoxify himself, Oscar took the opportunity to walk over to the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, which had only one breath left in it. He wanted to finish it off and absorb its Soul Ring.

Suddenly, a hoarse and stern shout came from nearby: "Stop!"

Immediately afterward, two figures burst from the dense forest like leopards.

A serpent-headed staff shot from one of their hands like an arrow loosed from a bow, flying straight toward Oscar with a sharp whistling sound.

Shen He snorted coldly. His body instantly shot upward like a dragon soaring into the heavens. He activated the Battle Saint Law, transformed into a golden divine dragon, and collided head-on with the flying serpent-headed staff.

"Boom!"

With a deafening explosion, the serpent-headed staff was smashed back along its original path by the tremendous force. Shen He, however, remained completely unharmed, as though nothing had happened.

The leading figure let out a surprised exclamation and hurriedly reached out to catch the staff as it flew back.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at the two newcomers. They were an elderly woman and a young girl.

The old woman had a head of white hair neatly combed like silver threads. She looked vigorous and healthy, with a rosy complexion as smooth as a newborn baby's.

Her eyes gleamed brightly. Six Soul Rings revolved around her body like living creatures, radiating a powerful aura.

The girl was a stunning beauty of sixteen or seventeen. Her tight-fitting outfit outlined her fiery figure to perfection.

She also held a serpent-headed staff in her hand. Two Hundred Year Soul Rings spiraled around her body, shining brilliantly.

Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed. He said in a deep voice, "Could you be Senior Chao Tianxiang of the Peerless Dragon Snake? I am Zhao Wuji."

The Peerless Dragon Snake's reputation was renowned throughout the soul master world, especially that of Dragon Duke Meng Shu, who was now a Soul Douluo-level expert.

Dragon Duke's martial soul was a dragon-headed staff, which complemented Snake Grandma's serpent-headed staff perfectly and possessed boundless might.

The couple also possessed an extremely overbearing Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Unless one possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo, it was very difficult to withstand its edge.

Although Zhao Wuji was a Soul Sage and the Snake Grandma before him appeared to be weaker than him, once Dragon Duke appeared, he would have a hard time dealing with them.

The Peerless Dragon Snake couple were deeply devoted and never separated. Since Snake Grandma was here, Dragon Duke had to be nearby as well.

A flicker of movement crossed Chao Tianxiang's expression. She smiled and said, "So the Immovable Ming King is here. I have long heard of you."

Then she looked at Shen He beside Zhao Wuji with some surprise. "And who is this young brother?"

The two Soul Rings on Shen He's body were nothing special. Yet when he had struck out that golden dragon earlier, none of his Soul Rings had lit up.

Chao Tianxiang did not understand what method Shen He had used. However, as a powerful Soul Emperor, the instant she saw the Battle Saint Law, her heart tightened, and she sensed danger.

For a Soul Grandmaster to make a Soul Emperor like her feel threatened was simply too bizarre.

"I'm Shen He, the dean of Shrek Academy." Shen He smiled calmly and cupped his hands. "Greetings, Senior Chao Tianxiang."

"Dean?" Chao Tianxiang's lips twitched, and the doubts in her heart deepened.

She had never heard of Shrek Academy. Yet for a Soul Master Academy to have a child serve as its dean was simply too absurd.

"Brother Zhao, you haven't appeared in the soul master world for many years. Could it be that..." Chao Tianxiang asked tentatively.

"That's right. I'm now a teacher at Shrek Academy." Zhao Wuji gave a bitter laugh and nodded.

Chao Tianxiang was greatly shocked. She had long heard of Zhao Wuji's fearsome reputation. How could Shen He have made the Immovable Ming King obediently serve as a teacher at Shrek Academy?

There must be an extremely powerful soul master force supporting this child. I can't act recklessly.

Seeing Chao Tianxiang's overactive imagination, Shen He secretly laughed.

However, even if Chao Tianxiang was not frightened by her own assumptions, Shen He had no intention of giving up on letting Oscar absorb that Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Meng Yiran stared at the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's corpse with unwillingness written all over her face. Then her gaze shifted, and she suddenly saw an even more shocking scene.

"Ah!!!!!! Pervert!!!!!!"

"Grandma, look quickly! What is that person doing?! That's disgusting! Ahhhhhhh!"

The ear-piercing scream immediately attracted everyone's attention. It even startled Great Master Yu awake.

Great Master Yu was stunned. "Tang San, what are you doing?!"

He shouted loudly, looking as helpless as a young widow who had been visited by someone in the middle of the night.

Tang San raised his head and spat out a mouthful of black poisonous blood. "Godfather, you were poisoned earlier. I'm helping you purge the poison."

Great Master Yu froze for a moment. Then an awkward flush spread across his face as he realized that he had misunderstood his "good son."

Moreover, in front of so many people, Tang San had not shown the slightest disgust toward him and was willing to suck out the poison for him. What a filial child!

For a moment, Great Master Yu was so moved that tears filled his eyes.

"But the Immovable Ming King is here. Couldn't he use his Soul Power to force the poisonous blood out? Why did you have to suck it out with your mouth?" Chao Tianxiang suddenly asked in confusion.

Tang San's expression abruptly stiffened. That was right. With Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, here, why had he needed to use his mouth?

He turned back and glanced at Shen He. Shen He remained expressionless as he waved a hand. "Don't talk. Keep sucking. You wouldn't want Great Master Yu's poison to remain uncleared, would you?"
