Master and disciple break up! Tang San plots Xiao Wu's soul ring?!

An Elder trembled with anger, slamming his hand down on a stone table, which instantly turned to dust.

"Tang Hao's past actions have already brought shame upon our sect, causing us to remain hidden for over twenty years! And now his son turns out to be such a treacherous wretch!"

"This child's disposition is even more terrifying than Tang Hao's was back then!"

"Sect Master, give the order!"

Another Elder looked towards the leader, his eyes resolute. "No matter what, this child absolutely cannot return to the sect! Our Clear Sky Sect cannot afford this disgrace!"

The leader, Tang Xiao, slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were filled with killing intent.

"Pass down my sect master's decree: Tang San is forever an outcast of the Clear Sky Sect! Even if he becomes a god in the future, he will have no further connection with our Clear Sky Sect!"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Sect Master Ning Fengzhi's expression was extremely grave.

Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong also wore grim faces.

"Fengzhi, this child... we should not associate closely with him."

Chen Xin spoke slowly, his words concise.

Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile.

It wasn't just that they shouldn't associate closely; it was that they should avoid him at all costs. He, Ning Fengzhi, had known countless people in his life and prided himself on his discerning eye, yet he had misjudged Tang San. He had even considered entrusting his own daughter to him. Now, thinking back, he felt a chill of fear.

"Issue the order."

Ning Fengzhi's voice returned to its usual calmness, but it carried an unyielding decisiveness.

"Effective immediately, sever all hidden weapon transactions with the Tang Sect and recall all advance payments."

"From this day forward, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Tang San will have no further relationship."

Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xue Ye watched the content on the Sky Screen, silent for a long time. The majesty of an emperor kept his emotions hidden, but his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed the turmoil within his heart. A person who could harbor murderous intent towards his own teacher multiple times, what would he be like if he held power?

"Issue my imperial decree."

Emperor Xue Ye's voice echoed through the vast hall.

"List this child as the most unwelcome person in the Heaven Dou Empire. Within the empire, all official institutions, noble families, and aristocratic clans are forbidden from any form of cooperation or interaction with him."

"I do not wish to see such an ungrateful wolf wreak havoc on the lands of the empire."

In an instant, Martial Soul Hall, two of the Upper Sects, and the Heaven Dou Empire... the major powers at the pinnacle of the continent all closed their doors to Tang San simultaneously.

He had become an enemy of the world.

However, Tang San, at the center of the storm, seemed unaffected. Or rather, he simply didn't care. A group of commoners, a group of ants destined to be trampled under his feet in the future – did their opinions matter? With his Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, and his future dual godhood, there would always be short-sighted individuals who would flock to invest in him like moths to a flame. There would always be opportunists attempting to take a piece of the pie from him.

He looked arrogantly at Yu Xiaogang, who was slumped in Flender's embrace, barely breathing. There was no trace of guilt in his eyes, only a sense of liberation and joy.

"Yu Xiaogang."

He couldn't even be bothered to say "Teacher" anymore.

"I will call you Master one last time."

Tang San's voice resounded throughout the entire academy.

"From this day forward, our master-disciple relationship is severed, and we have no further ties! And please, stop misleading others with your flawed theories!"

"Hh... hh..."

Yu Xiaogang made a sound in his throat. He used all his strength to raise a trembling hand, pointing at Tang San, then laboriously turned it towards Flender. He couldn't utter a single word.

But the meaning in those bloodshot eyes was crystal clear.

"Kick him out!"

"Kick this ungrateful wretch out of Shrek!"

Flender's heart ached. Seeing his old friend of decades reduced to such a state, a surge of anger shot straight to the crown of his head.

He supported Yu Xiaogang and stood up abruptly, glaring furiously at Tang San.

"Tang San! You... get out of Shrek Academy!"

However, the words left Flender's mouth, and he hesitated.

Wasn't his ideal, his lifelong aspiration, to cultivate truly continent-renowned monsters?

And Tang San was undoubtedly the most monstrous genius he had ever seen.

If he drove him away, would Shrek Academy... ever have a chance to make a name for itself?

It was this moment of hesitation that Tang San keenly seized.

"Hahahaha... Hahahahaha!"

Tang San suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter filled with endless mockery and disdain.

"See! Yu Xiaogang, do you see?!"

He pointed at the hesitant Flender, then at himself, his expression manic and triumphant.

"This is reality!"

"I, Tang San, am a future god looking down from on high! And you are just a cripple who can't even break through level thirty!"

"Even if I'm ungrateful, even if I'm heartless, for the sake of my potential, he, Flender, will still hesitate, still be reluctant to let me go!"

"Your loyalty, your anger, are worthless in the face of absolute talent!"

"..."

"You..." Flender's face turned red. His innermost thoughts had been exposed, and he was filled with shame and indignation.

Just as Tang San's laughter reached its peak of arrogance.

Buzz--!

High above, the Sky Screen, which had just quieted down, once again erupted in dazzling golden light!

All the laughter, curses, and discussions came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

People subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Tang San's laughter also stopped, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.

It's not over yet?!

They saw the light and shadows flowing across the Sky Screen. This time, what appeared was a cute girl in a pink dress with a braided pigtail.

Xiao Wu!

Seeing Xiao Wu's image, the expressions of everyone at Shrek, especially Tang San, changed.

Could it be...

The cold golden text gave no one time to think, and once again, like blades of Divine Punishment, it was etched across the Firmament.

[His father, Tang Hao, once told him that his mother, Ah Yin, was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor who had taken human form. Later, forced by Martial Soul Hall, she died in Sacrifice.]

[Upon hearing this, Tang San did not grieve for his mother's fate. Instead, he drew parallels, using this as a clue. Through Purple Demon Eye and various details, he saw through his "sister" Xiao Wu, who was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in her true form.]

Boom!!!

Dai Mubai and the others were struck as if by lightning, and they turned to look at Tang San abruptly.

He knew all along?!

The text on the Sky Screen continued to appear, each word like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heart.

[However, his heart held no trace of pity, nor any thought of protection. There was only extreme greed and calculation.]

[His love was a disguise, his protection a means, and their sibling affection, merely an excuse for keeping her captive.]

[What he schemed was to perfectly replicate his father Tang Hao's path, using Martial Soul Hall as a blade to force Xiao Wu onto a path of no return.]

[Ultimately, she would willingly Sacrifice herself for him, allowing him to take her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, forging his own supreme Foundation!]

[Father and son, cut from the same cloth!]
