Dean Flander's Melancholy

Osler collapsed to the ground in fright and cried out.

The others were trembling all over as well, nearly turning around and fleeing because of the Soul Beast's overwhelming aura.

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile. "No need to be nervous. This is merely my mount. Although it is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it has a gentle temperament. It won't kill you, but it definitely won't let you pass easily either."

"It will be helping you complete the next lesson. Anyone who fails to complete it will start over until they do. Of course, you may also attack together until time runs out."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately turned deathly pale. That was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even a faint trace of its pressure could make the martial souls within their bodies shatter. Lasting against it was nothing more than a fool's dream.

Lin Yuan paid no attention to Osler and the others' expressions. He directly handed matters here over to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before turning and leaving.

Watching Teacher Lin Yuan leave, they could only helplessly summon their martial souls and engage the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. As for how that went, it was easy enough to imagine.

Meanwhile, at Blue Tyrant Academy.

After Shrek Academy left Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they went directly to Blue Tyrant Academy, another advanced Soul Master Academy. There, they encountered Liu Erlong, the Corner of Slaughter and one of the Golden Iron Triangle from years ago.

When Liu Erlong learned of what had happened to Xiao Gang, she was furious. She slammed her palm down on the table and said in a rage, "That damned Heaven Dou Royal Academy actually dared to do this to Xiao Gang. What an utter disgrace!"

Dean Flander sighed. "Erlong, Douluo Continent has always been a world where the strong devour the weak. After all, he is a Title Douluo. I just never expected Xiao Wu to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast..."

Had they known Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, they would never have allowed her to come to the Heaven Dou Empire, much less join Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Now, Shrek Academy's reputation had been stained, and Xiao Wu, a Shrek disciple, had become a prisoner. With their strength, it was simply impossible for them to rescue Xiao Wu.

Liu Erlong clenched her fists, turned around, and looked at the haggard Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. She could not help asking, "Xiao Gang, what do you think? If you think there's a chance, we can make another trip to Heaven Dou Royal Academy later."

"With the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the three of us, we can fight even a Title Douluo!"

Back then, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the three of them had dominated all of Douluo Continent. Who had not known of it?

If not for what had happened, they would likely have long since perfected their Martial Soul Fusion Skill into the number one fusion skill in the world.

Master's face darkened. "No matter how endlessly varied the Martial Soul Fusion Skill may be, I am only level twenty-nine. If I could break through to Soul Saint, I naturally would not fear a Title Douluo..."

Because of his mutated martial soul, his martial soul had become something worse than a pig or dog's, and even his Soul Power had been stuck at level twenty-nine. To Master, this was an utter humiliation.

After all, he had once dreamed of becoming a Title Douluo. Now, forget becoming a Title Douluo—even if he broke through, what title could he possibly have...

Could it be Title: Fart?

Wouldn't people laugh themselves to death if he said that out loud?

Dean Flander clenched his fists. "Are we really going to leave Xiao Wu alone at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Sigh." Master sighed. "If you have the ability to defeat a Title Douluo, then I have nothing to say."

Dean Flander was at a loss for words. If he could defeat Lin Yuan, he would not still be here going on about this matter.

"If that won't work, we can arrange for someone to seek out His Excellency Haotian. With his strength, he can surely defeat Lin Yuan. Besides, His Excellency Haotian must have long known Xiao Wu's identity. The only reason he did not act was because of the relationship between Xiao Wu and Tang San."

Master remained silent. He was considering it as well. If they told Tang Hao about this, perhaps there really was a chance to bring Xiao Wu back.

But if Tang Hao was no match for Lin Yuan either, wouldn't they merely be asking for trouble?

When Tang San joined Nuoding Academy, Tang Hao had already told Master that the injuries he suffered back then had yet to recover. As a result, he could not bring out his full strength.

If he failed, his old injuries might flare up again. There was even the risk that his Soul Power would fall.

That was precisely why Tang Hao had not chosen to confront Spirit Hall head-on. He feared an unforeseen turn of events that would cause his cultivation to plummet.

Liu Erlong looked at them curiously. "Who is this person you're talking about? Could Tang San's father be some extraordinary powerhouse?"

Flender glanced around. Only after confirming that no one else was nearby did he reveal Tang San's entire background.

Upon hearing Tang San's background, Liu Erlong's expression changed drastically. She sucked in a cold breath and said, "What did you say? Tang San's father is the Clear Sky Douluo!"

"Shh!"

Dean Flander immediately gestured for silence, then covered Liu Erlong's mouth. "Erlong, you must not mention this to anyone else. His Excellency Haotian made it clear back then that we were not to tell Xiao San about him so early. Besides, this matter is connected to Spirit Hall."

Hearing that, Liu Erlong nodded. Still, she was very curious why Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, had been beaten into such a state.

If Tang Hao saw this, he would surely fight Lin Yuan to the death.

Dean Flander pushed up the glasses on his nose and said with a strange expression, "It was a last resort to keep Tang San from being dragged into Spirit Hall's affairs. What we are discussing now is whether we should seek out Tang Hao and have him uphold justice."

"Boss, in my opinion, we should let this matter go for now."

"What do you mean?" Flender asked with a frown.

Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji wore a grave expression, his voice filled with melancholy. "Think about it. If Lin Yuan finds out that we sought out Tang Hao to come here for revenge, won't he keep causing us trouble? And this is Heaven Dou City, so close to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He could arrive in an instant."

Flender nodded subconsciously. That did make sense. If Lin Yuan wished to, he could absolutely slaughter all of Shrek Academy before Tang Hao returned.

Master and Liu Erlong looked at each other. After pondering for a long while, they agreed. Since that was the case, they would put this matter aside for now. As for whether Tang Hao found out, that would be his own concern.
