Yu Xiaogang's Guidance for Tang San

At dawn, the rooster crowed.

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, within Shrek Academy.

Tang Hao's injuries had basically healed, but the wounds in his heart were hard to dispel. Especially whenever he recalled the scene of his battle with Lin Yuan, his heart twisted as though pierced by knives.

He was a dignified Level 95 Title Douluo, even the youngest Title Douluo powerhouse of the previous generation, yet he had been beaten into such a state by a brat who had only just turned twenty. No matter who it was, they would probably find such an outcome hard to accept.

Dean Flander adjusted the glasses on his nose and exhaled a breath of hot air. "His Excellency Haotian, what do you plan to do next? Are you really going to let things continue like this?"

"I need to return to Holy Spirit Village. There is still an important matter I need to handle. I'll have to trouble you and Master to look after Xiao San."

Dean Flander looked at Master Yu Xiaogang beside him, frowned, then said with an odd expression, "His Excellency Haotian, do you truly not intend to tell Xiao San who you are? If this goes on, Xiao San really will..."

Tang Hao shook his head and exhaled a breath of hot air. "If I tell Xiao San about my affairs, he may very well go straight to Lin Yuan and cause trouble. By then, there truly will be no room to undo things."

It was not that Tang Hao could not tell Tang San, but that he did not dare reveal his true identity. If Tang San learned that his father was the youngest Title Douluo powerhouse of the previous generation, he would definitely use that identity to take Xiao Wu back. By then, he would truly take her back no matter what anyone said.

Dean Flander sighed and nodded helplessly. "His Excellency Haotian, I understand how you feel. But Xiao San is extraordinarily gifted and steadfast by nature. If he learns the truth, perhaps he will make a better choice. If you keep concealing it from him, I'm afraid that won't be a long-term solution either."

Tang Hao fell silent for a moment, a complicated look flashing through his eyes.

How could he not want to tell Tang San the truth?

But he understood even more clearly that once Tang San learned his identity, he would inevitably be drawn into even more complicated conflicts.

Especially when facing a powerhouse like Lin Yuan, Tang San's current strength was still far from enough.

"Flender, you don't understand."

Tang Hao spoke in a low voice. "Lin Yuan's strength far exceeds your imagination. He is not merely a Title Douluo, but an unrivaled powerhouse with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. If Xiao San goes after him now, it would be like striking a stone with an egg. I cannot let him take that risk."

Flender and Yu Xiaogang exchanged glances, both seeing helplessness in the other's eyes.

They understood Tang Hao's concerns, but they also knew Tang San's personality.

If Tang San learned that his father was the Clear Sky Douluo, he would probably never stand idly by.

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment before slowly speaking. "His Excellency Haotian, I understand your concerns. But you know Xiao San's personality as well. Sooner or later, he will learn the truth. Rather than let him hear it from someone else, it would be better for you to tell him personally. At the very least, you can guide him when he acts impulsively."

Tang Hao's brows drew tightly together, clearly engaged in a fierce inner struggle.

How could he not want to acknowledge his son?

But he feared even more that Tang San would fall into danger because of it.

After a long while, Tang Hao finally sighed and said quietly, "Let's wait a little longer. Once Xiao San is stronger, I will find a suitable time to tell him."

Seeing this, Flender and Yu Xiaogang could not press him any further and could only nod in agreement.

Tang Hao stood and looked out the window. The morning sunlight fell across his face, yet it could not disperse the gloom in his eyes.

He said quietly, "I will set out for Holy Spirit Village today. There are some matters I must handle personally. I leave Xiao San to you."

Flender nodded solemnly and said with a firm expression, "Rest assured, His Excellency Haotian. We will take good care of Xiao San."

Tang Hao nodded, turned, and left the room. His back looked somewhat lonely, but his steps remained resolute.

Meanwhile, on Shrek Academy's training grounds, Tang San was undergoing his daily training with Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others.

Although his strength was already considered outstanding among those his age, he did not relax in the slightest. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect the people he wanted to protect.

Xiao Wu's departure remained a thorn in his heart.

Whenever the night was deep and all was quiet, he would think of that lively, adorable girl, his heart filled with self-reproach and unwillingness.

Tang San secretly swore that he would definitely grow stronger and take Xiao Wu back from Lin Yuan.

After training ended, Tang San wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was preparing to return to his dormitory and rest, he saw Yu Xiaogang approaching.

"Xiao San, come here. I have something to tell you." Yu Xiaogang's voice remained calm, but there was a trace of complexity in his eyes.

Tang San nodded and followed Yu Xiaogang to one side.

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Xiao San, you have been cultivating very diligently lately. That is good. However, there are some things I must remind you of."

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang somewhat puzzled. "Teacher, what do you want to say?"

Yu Xiaogang sighed and said in a low voice, "Regarding Xiao Wu, I know you have never been able to let it go. But you must remember that Lin Yuan's strength far exceeds your imagination. As you are now, you are not his opponent. Acting rashly will only put you in danger."

Upon hearing this, Tang San unconsciously clenched his fists, a trace of unwillingness flashing through his eyes. "Teacher, I know I am not strong enough yet, but I cannot simply give up on Xiao Wu. She is the most important person to me. I must save her!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San's determined eyes, feeling both gratified and worried.

He patted Tang San on the shoulder and spoke earnestly. "Xiao San, I understand how you feel. But you must remember that a true powerhouse needs not only strength, but wisdom as well. Impulsiveness will only make you lose more. Once you become stronger and the time is right, an opportunity will naturally come."

Tang San fell silent for a moment before finally nodding. "Teacher, I understand. I will continue cultivating diligently and will never act rashly."

Yu Xiaogang nodded approvingly. "I'm relieved that you can think this way. Go on, get some proper rest. Training will continue tomorrow."

Tang San acknowledged him and turned to leave the training grounds, but in his heart, he would never give up on Xiao Wu. He would definitely bring her back.

Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San's departing back and secretly sighed. He knew that Tang San's future was destined to be anything but ordinary, and the challenges he would face would far surpass those of ordinary people.

"I hope he can go farther..."

Yu Xiaogang murmured to himself before turning and leaving the training grounds.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao had already set foot on the road back to Holy Spirit Village, his heart filled with both guilt toward Tang San and worry for the future.

But Tang Hao knew that he had to persevere, for the Clear Sky Sect and for Tang San's future.
