Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's Three Year Agreement! (Request Monthly Ticket)

To maintain his image, although Yu Xiaogang was dying to agree immediately, he still kept up his aloof demeanor and stood with his back to Dai Mubai.

"I have three questions. If you can answer them, I'll give you a chance to become my student."

Seeing this, Dai Mubai became even more convinced that Master was as unfathomable as the rumors claimed. He immediately said eagerly:

"Please ask. This student will certainly answer properly."

Yu Xiaogang continued:

"First question: Have you come here to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and bide your time, or have you willingly fallen into depravity and chosen to sink into ruin?"

With a question like that, anyone who was not an idiot knew how to answer.

Dai Mubai immediately said excitedly:

"Of course I'm temporarily avoiding the sharp edge! Dai Weisi is so much older than I am. We both have Innate Level Eight Soul Power, but he could kill me as easily as killing a chicken. I need time to grow, so I fled far away to Heaven Dou and came here."

Yu Xiaogang asked again:

"Second question: If I take you as my student, would you be willing to obey all my arrangements, even if a certain decision might put your life in danger?"

Dai Mubai hesitated slightly, but he thought that as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, no matter what, Yu Xiaogang would not dare murder him outright. He promptly answered:

"This student will obey Teacher in all things!"

Yu Xiaogang turned around, looked at him, and smiled.

Flender patted Dai Mubai at that moment and reminded him:

"Why aren't you hurrying up and paying respects to your teacher?"

Dai Mubai said in astonishment:

"Weren't there supposed to be three questions?"

Yu Xiaogang chuckled softly.

"The third question has already been asked."

"Just now, I looked into your eyes. Your gaze has already given me the answer."

In truth, he simply could not think of a third question.

He had indeed been looking at Dai Mubai's eyes just now, but all he saw was eye gunk.

Yet Dai Mubai was utterly shaken.

As expected of the legendary Master, the foremost theoretical scholar on Douluo Continent. By taking him as his teacher, perhaps he really could contend for the throne.

He had originally planned to come here, indulge in pleasure, and simply give up on everything.

Otherwise, he would not have run away by himself and left Zhu Zhuqing behind.

After all, the conflict between Star Luo princes was fought alongside their imperial consorts, using Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

By abandoning Zhu Zhuqing, he was effectively telling Dai Weisi that he truly would not compete for that position.

As for the fear and unfair treatment Zhu Zhuqing might suffer, he did not care in the slightest.

As a Star Luo prince, he was not short of one imperial consort.

But with this Master, Dai Mubai felt that perhaps he still had a chance to salvage things.

When he had the opportunity, he could just bring Zhu Zhuqing over.

Dai Mubai got his wish and took Master as his teacher. In one leap, he became the Big Brother, turning Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had entered under Yu Xiaogang before him, into Little Brothers.

After all, he was a prince. The Soul Tool he carried with him was filled with Gold Soul Coins.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar spent no small amount whenever they went looking for fun. With Dai Mubai as their leading Big Brother, they were naturally more than willing.

The three of them were birds of a feather and hit it off immediately.

Then, one month later, Yu Xiaogang brought the three of them to Notting Academy.

Yu Xiaogang directly sought out Lu Duzhou and the other two.

He looked at Lu Duzhou and said:

"Boy, these are the three students I have newly accepted: Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar. Two Beast Martial Souls and one food-type Support Soul Master."

"It just so happens that the three of you are also two Battle Soul Masters and one Support Soul Master."

"You look down on my theories. I am magnanimous and will not hold it against you."

"But in order to make you recognize your shortcomings and turn back from your misguided path, I will make a wager with you."

"Three years from now, the three of you will come to Shrek Academy and engage my three students in a three-on-three soul battle."

"Do you dare accept?"

Lu Duzhou chuckled.

Well, well!

An Evil Eye Demonic Tiger, a Fire-Releasing Roasted Chicken, and a Big Sausage Uncle.

Those three really were quite suited to that useless Master!

"Since it is a wager, what are the stakes?"

Lu Duzhou asked blandly.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes shifted, and he gave a light cough.

"Since this is a contest between juniors, the stakes should be established between you."

After a pause, he gave Ma Hongjun a meaningful look.

Ma Hongjun immediately grinned and said:

"How about this? The losing side crawls through the winner's legs."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wu, filled with a green gleam.

Xiao Wu cursed angrily:

"Disgusting! Shameless!"

The lecherous Oscar crossed his arms and grinned as well.

"Afraid of losing? You can admit defeat now, and only those two will have to crawl through."

Dai Mubai looked at the three of them disdainfully.

"Admit defeat now! By provoking my teacher, you have already chosen the Path to Death!"

Tang San was burning with rage.

That was clearly my line!

He wished he could kill those three right now.

But after Lu Duzhou's three years of guidance, his understanding of the hierarchy across the continent had become much clearer.

Although Lu Duzhou already had Ailin, a Soul Sage, as his backer, he still could not bear the wrath of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan represented by Yu Xiaogang.

He could not bring such enormous trouble to Big Brother and Second Sister because of a momentary outburst.

Forcibly suppressing his humiliation, Tang San said word by word:

"Three years from now, we will definitely go to Shrek!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Lu Duzhou.

Lu Duzhou placed one hand on Tang San's shoulder, the boy still small in stature at this time, his tone calm yet full of strength.

"My Third Brother's words are my meaning as well."

Xiao Wu said excitedly:

"And me! When the time comes, I'll beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the ground!"

Yu Xiaogang took out paper and pen and said:

"You are young and forgetful. It would be better to put this matter in writing."

"Young people should have some pressure."

His tone made him sound like an elder caring for juniors.

In reality, he was doing something like this—using his status to bully the young and relying on strength to oppress the weak.

Yu Xiaogang was clearly accustomed to such things.

After all, he had once been the Young Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, of noble status and long used to looking down on others.

All six of them signed and left their marks, each keeping a copy of the written agreement.

Yu Xiaogang swaggered away with Dai Mubai and the other two, returning to Shrek Academy.

After they left, Lu Duzhou and the other two returned to their residence.

Tang San said through gritted teeth:

"Big Brother, this all began because of me."

"Today's humiliation—three years from now, I will personally wash it away!"

Lu Duzhou placed one hand on his shoulder and grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist with the other.

"It is us. We'll do it together."

"Within three years, I want you both to obtain your Third Soul Ring. Do you have confidence?"

Xiao Wu and Tang San answered in unison:

"Yes!"

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"Very good. I will obtain my Second Soul Ring within a year."

"Also, once my experimental results are out, I will find a way to obtain more Whale Rubber. At that time, it may help you gain more powerful soul skills."

Over the past year, using the excuse of assisting cultivation, he had obtained some Thousand-Year Whale Rubber through the Ai Family's channels.

Since they were together every day, there was no way he could hide his use of Whale Rubber from Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Therefore, he took the initiative to tell them about it.

However, he did not say for certain that Whale Rubber could increase the Physical Body's strength. He only said that he had this hypothesis and needed to test it on himself first.

If it worked, and he successfully Absorbed Soul Ring Beyond Theoretical Limit, then he would seek cooperation with Ailin to obtain Whale Rubber for the two of them and help improve them as well.
