Gale Demon Wolf

Ning Rongrong silently watched the group's performance, her face twitching. Xiao Wu and her eight sycophants were actually encouraging Tang San to switch to cultivating his Second Martial Soul ahead of schedule, and even to absorb Soul Ring beyond his age limit. They really wished Tang San would die sooner.

But this is for the best. In the past two years, her father, who had previously encouraged her to pursue her own love, has now tried to match her with Tang San.

Every time he went home, he would subtly ask her if she and Tang San had developed Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and whether she had developed feelings for him.

This annoyed her greatly.

Unfortunately, her grandfather had one eye gouged out and a leg broken, greatly reducing his combat power and causing the overall strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to decline significantly.

Under pressure from multiple sides, even if she wanted to throw a tantrum, her father probably wouldn't let her anymore.

If this dwarf were to die here, it wouldn't be such a bad choice.

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong, who usually just watched from the sidelines, spoke up, a rare occurrence for her, "Yu Xiaogang, you can't be so selfish. It's inevitable that Fourth Brother will absorb this Soul Ring. Only in this way can he lead us to fight our way through the elite competition of advanced Soul Master Academy across the continent. You can't let your own fame and fortune hinder Fourth Brother's growth."

"You... you all... you've rebelled! You've all rebelled! You've all rebelled!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender in disbelief, then at the others, only to be met with their cold and disdainful gazes.

So what if I rebel?

Xiao Wu was the first to step forward.

Next up are Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar— those four scoundrels.

So what if we rebel?

They stood beside Xiao Wu, glaring angrily at Yu Xiaogang.

"Yu Xiaogang, Shrek Academy is not for you to run!"

In the end, even Li Yusong, Shao Xin, Lu Qibin, and Flender sided with Xiao Wu. Although Flender didn't say anything and looked at Yu Xiaogang with some reluctance, he ultimately chose to be true to his 'love'.

Faced with the crowd's relentless pressure, Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt his breathing quicken. In an instant, he realized that almost no one in the Shrek Academy respected him as Grandmaster anymore, or took him seriously.

Left with no other choice, he could only place his last hope on his prized disciple Tang San.

"Little San, don't mess around with them. Listen to your teacher. After you advance to Titled Douluo, then you can add a Soul Ring to your Second Martial Soul. At that time, it won't just be a mere Thousand-Year Soul Ring, but at least a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring, and even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring is not impossible."

Before Tang San could answer, Xiao Wu spoke up, looking at Tang San expectantly as well:

"Sangiegie, don't listen to Yu Xiaogang. He's ruined you so much. What does he mean by 'after advancing to Titled Douluo, you can add Soul Ring of 50,000 years or more, or even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring'? Who knows when that will be? Do you want to see us all become Titled Douluo while you're still struggling at the Soul Douluo or even Soul Saint level?"

"Even if you can wait, your Blue Silver Grass has already been tricked by this good-for-nothing swindler into absorbing three poison-attribute Soul Ring. It's uncertain whether you can still cultivate into Titled Douluo."

"Conversely, if you absorb this Diamond Tiger Soul Ring, not only can you directly break through level 40 and advance to Soul Ancestor, but you can also avenge yourself against that bastard Ye Qinghe and win the championship in the Continental Elite Soul Master Academy Tournament. I believe that our Shrek Team will definitely succeed under your leadership. I heard from Dean Flender that there will be Soul Bone rewards in the Soul Master Tournament. Even if you sacrifice a Soul Ring slot, you only need to obtain a Soul Bone to make up for the loss. Besides, this Soul Ring is not bad, so it's not a waste."

At this point, seemingly afraid that Tang San would listen to Yu Xiaogang, she added, "If you choose to listen to this good-for-nothing liar today, it means you don't care about me, and I'll never talk to you again."

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and smiled, "Xiao Wu, I know you care about me, but don't worry, even if you didn't remind me, I wouldn't listen to Yu Xiaogang."

As he spoke, under the desperate gaze of Yu Xiaogang, black light surged in his left hand, and he raised the hammer head, walking towards Diamond Tiger.

As they brushed past Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San's shoulder and pleaded, "Xiao San, no! You'll ruin yourself like this. No matter what, I can't just stand by and watch you destroy yourself."

Tang San turned and glared at him, coldly saying, "Gangzi, I can overlook all the persecution you've caused me before, but I'm warning you, from now on you're not allowed to interfere in my affairs again, otherwise I wouldn't mind considering severing our master-disciple relationship."

Boom--

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang was instantly struck dumb, frozen in place, her mind blank.

What did he hear? He heard his prized disciple, to whom he had devoted his entire life, his only hope for a comeback, call him "Anal" and even declare that he wanted to sever their master-disciple relationship.

This isn't a threat; it's clearly an attempt to cut off his flesh and take his life.

Tang San ignored Yu Xiaogang, who had already been thoroughly defeated by him. He unleashed his Xuan Yu Xiaogang Mysterious Heaven Skill, directly shaking off Yu Xiaogang's not-so-powerful hand. Then, he decisively swung the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it towards the head of the Diamond Tiger.

Until Diamond Tiger's head was blasted apart, a ring of purple Soul Ring gathered above Diamond Tiger's corpse.

Yu Xiaogang showed no reaction whatsoever, completely absorbed in the immense pain of Tang San's decision to sever their master-disciple relationship.

Standing behind Xiao Wu, Flender felt a pang of reluctance, but upon seeing Xiao Wu's warning gaze, that reluctance immediately transformed into determination.

Tang San looked at Flender and said, "Dean Flender, as well as Teacher Li Yusong and Teacher Lu Qibin, please protect me."

Flender nodded. "Just focus on absorbing the Soul Ring."

Lu Qibin glanced meaningfully at Yu Xiaogang and said, "You can rest assured, with a few of us old guys here, no one can bother you."

Li Yusong was even more decisive, "If this piece of trash dares to interfere with your absorption of the Soul Ring, I won't hesitate to smash his head with my Dragon Pattern Staff."

"Oh dear, Third Brother, Soul Ring only lasts for one hour. Hurry up and absorb it. Once you're done, we can search for your fourth Soul Ring, the Blue Silver Grass, tomorrow," Xiao Wu urged in a teasy tone.

Tang San nodded, then sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Diamond Tiger Soul Ring.

As for Yu Xiaogang, Li Yusong actually put a stick to his neck, and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Tang San's third Soul Ring, made of Blue Silver Grass, was only two or three hundred years too old, yet it nearly cost him his life.

The pain it endures now, having absorbed the Diamond Tiger Soul Ring, a power-type ring that has been around for over a thousand years and possesses even more domineering energy, is unimaginable.
