The youngest Title Douluo on Douluo Continent, he had once, just after reaching rank ninety, single-handedly defeated three Title Douluo from Spirit Hall and even severely wounded Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, causing Spirit Hall's standing to plummet.
Qian Xunji was the previous Pope of Spirit Hall and the only son of Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's Grand Consecrator.
Back then, he had also been hailed as a once-in-a-generation genius of Spirit Hall. He reached the Title Douluo realm at fifty, then continued to make breakthrough after breakthrough.
Yet even so, he was still severely wounded by Tang Hao and died not long after returning to Spirit Hall.
The name Tang Hao had nearly driven Qian Daoliu mad. The pain of losing his son in old age had even compelled Qian Daoliu to personally hunt Tang Hao down.
However, after failing to kill Tang Hao in their first few encounters, he lost all trace of him.
As Tang Hao's biological son, Tang San had no idea his father was such a powerful man. If he had known, the first thing he would have done would have been to find Tang Hao and have his father hunt Lin Yuan down, leaving him nowhere to be buried.
At first glance, this seemed perfectly reasonable. But on second thought, if Lin Yuan lost, everyone would be happy. Yet if Tang Hao lost, Shrek Academy would face a catastrophic disaster.
Flender did not dare to gamble.
If he won, Tang San would save his sister and eliminate a future rival.
If he lost, Tang San might be able to leave the Heaven Dou Empire with Tang Hao's help, but Shrek Academy would truly vanish from this world forever.
Flender knew which outcome mattered more.
Dean Flander said, "So, Lord Lin Yuan, could you let this matter go for the sake of the Clear Sky Douluo?"
"Hehehe." Lin Yuan sneered. "Flender, I've already given you that respect. If you're still going to bargain with me here, I don't mind taking action against Shrek Academy directly."
Dean Flander was momentarily left speechless. In the end, he could only sit back down where he had been, unwilling to continue dealing with this matter.
Tang San struggled to rise from the ground. Staring at Lin Yuan before him, he adjusted his breathing and said, "I will remember what happened today deep in my heart. If I ever break through to become a Title Douluo, I will certainly have a proper spar with you, Senior!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Yuan's finger twitched. In an instant, a drop of blood condensed at his fingertip. With a flick of his finger, the blood immediately merged into Tang San's brow.
"If you can endure it, that means you have a chance to challenge me. Otherwise, you'll only ever be fit to be an ant."
Tang San had just wanted to curse when he suddenly felt his heart pound wildly, only to abruptly stop the next moment. It repeated over and over, bringing agony like the Pain of Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart.
The intense pain made him collapse to the ground and convulse violently. Foam continuously flowed from his mouth, while crimson blood even seeped from his seven orifices.
The people of Shrek Academy were stunned dumb by the sight. They immediately rushed over, but no matter how they checked, they could not find what had happened to Tang San.
"Ah!!"
The heart-rending pain drove him completely mad. He repeatedly pounded his own chest with his fists, even breaking several ribs, yet the agony did not lessen in the slightest.
"Little San, what's wrong with you?"
Master urgently held down Tang San's convulsing body, unable to understand what had happened.
Tang San did not know either. His entire body shook violently, and he spat a mouthful of crimson blood directly onto Master's face.
"It hurts so much... I only feel as if I'm suffering the Pain of Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart, ah!!"
Tang San roared helplessly.
The agony lasted a full half hour before gradually fading. Yet no matter how Dean Flander examined him, he could not detect anything wrong with Tang San.
Even after examining him, other than weakness, Tang San's body appeared completely normal. There was simply no way to see what was happening inside him.
Tang San lay sprawled on the ground, breathing heavily. Blood had long since begun dripping from his eyes as he roared, "Lin Yuan, fuck your grandpa!"
"Too noisy."
This time, Lin Yuan did not hold back. He viciously kicked Tang San in the stomach. Before Tang San could react, he spat out another mouthful of blood and flew from Shrek Academy's dormitory like a cannonball, smashing hard into the flower bed outside and falling unconscious on the spot.
"Tang San!"
Dean Flander hurriedly flew over, only to discover that Tang San had already passed out. Even the ribs in his chest were all broken, and his internal organs had likely suffered varying degrees of damage.
If Tang San had not been a soul master, that kick would probably have killed him outright.
Ma Hongjun and the others had been frightened so badly that their legs went weak. They collapsed to the ground, staring at the huge hole in the room with terror filling their hearts.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan had not targeted them. Otherwise, they truly would have died without a burial today...
The one with the ugliest expression was Dai Mubai. He had not expected Lin Yuan to be so relentless toward Shrek Academy over Heaven Dou Royal Academy, especially since he himself was the main culprit behind beating Xue Beng.
Lin Yuan clapped his hands, glanced at the unconscious Tang San, and said coldly, "Pass a message to Tang San for me. Don't think that having a good father means he can do whatever he wants. Before the strong, he is nothing."
With that, Lin Yuan left Shrek Academy without even looking back. As for the matters here, he left them for the others to handle themselves.
Ning Rongrong swallowed and lightly poked Zhu Zhuqing's ample chest with her little finger. "Zhuqing, did you... see that? Third Brother was kicked flying with one kick."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded instinctively. "I saw it. What's wrong with Third Brother? Why did he provoke a Title Douluo? Wasn't he afraid that man would kill him outright?"
"No, we're all disciples of Shrek Academy. I need to go home and tell my father what happened here. If Father finds out, he'll definitely personally arrange for the two grandfathers to teach that Lin Yuan a lesson."
Ning Rongrong pouted. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's voice. "If you don't want Shrek Academy to be utterly wiped out, then stay put and don't go anywhere."
"Master, what do you mean?" Ning Rongrong stopped, turned around to look at Master, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"I don't want such a small matter to alter the conflict between the sect and the empire. Don't forget that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always supported the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy... is likewise the Heaven Dou Empire's exclusive academy."
