I, Tang San, Will Never Rest Until Heaven Dou Royal Academy Is Destroyed!

Xiao Wu's body visibly trembled twice. Tears welled up at the corners of her eyes, as though she might burst into tears at any moment.

Tang San wished nothing more than to kill that bastard Lin Yuan on the spot. If Dean Flander had not desperately held him back, he would have charged forward long ago.

With one hand behind his back, Lin Yuan looked at Tang San's bloodshot eyes and said, "What, do you intend to provoke a Title Douluo?"

Master clenched his fists. "Senior Lin Yuan, could there be some misunderstanding here? Besides, Xiao Wu is a disciple of Shrek Academy. Even if she is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, shouldn't we be the ones to handle this?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes. "So, Shrek Academy has colluded with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? I recall there being a rule on Douluo Continent: any faction or academy that colludes with Soul Beasts must be executed. As the wise Master, surely you do not know nothing about that?"

At those words, Master's face instantly turned deathly pale. He staggered two steps backward, his expression clearly changing. Evidently, he knew about it.

Since ancient times, Soul Beasts and humans had been locked in an almost irreconcilable conflict. Whenever they encountered one another, a battle was usually unavoidable.

Thus, the ancients had deeply hated Soul Beasts and established rules governing humans and Soul Beasts. Any academy or empire that colluded with Soul Beasts would face severe punishment.

Even a top-tier force like Spirit Hall had never secretly kept a single Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and said with a smile, "So, do you believe Shrek Academy has colluded with Soul Beasts?"

Master clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he looked at the struggling Tang San and the other disciples of Shrek Academy. If he admitted to it, every disciple of Shrek Academy would face utter ruin.

"Lord Lin Yuan, although Shrek Academy may have acted without sufficient consideration in this matter, Xiao Wu is still a Shrek disciple. And Tang San's father is someone you cannot afford to offend..."

Slap—

Without the slightest restraint, Lin Yuan slapped Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang hard across the face. Yu Xiaogang was utterly unable to defend against the sudden attack and was sent flying sideways on the spot.

Pfft!

Bright red blood sprayed from Master's mouth. Several of his teeth had even been knocked out, leaving him in a miserable state.

"Xiao Gang!"

Seeing his best friend being struck, Dean Flander could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. He immediately unleashed his Cat Eagle martial soul, prepared to stake everything against Lin Yuan.

"Lord Lin Yuan, since you insist on this, then today, let the teachers of Shrek Academy experience the strength of a Title Douluo!"

At Flender's command, the teachers and disciples of Shrek Academy all released their soul rings.

Dazzling, brilliant light filled the room. The energy emitted by several optimal soul ring configurations made even the room's structure tremble faintly, while spiderweb-like cracks appeared across the glass.

Dugu Bo became interested. Turning around, he sat in a chair and said with a chuckle, "A group of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors actually wants to challenge a Title Douluo. This is rather interesting."

Pointing at Lin Yuan, Flender said, "Lord Lin Yuan, you insist on having things your way. After today, our people will immediately seek out that person. When the time comes, you will surely pay a terrible price."

The person he meant was naturally Tang Hao, once the youngest Title Douluo, and Tang San's biological father.

Yet Lin Yuan merely smiled faintly at Flender's threat. After cultivating alone for so many years, aside from those peak experts, he had never truly regarded anyone else as worthy of notice.

"Fine, then. Come at me together. I have cultivated in seclusion for many years and have not fought in a long time. Today, I'll play with you for a while."

Lin Yuan shrugged. Just as he was about to release his martial soul, Master's call reached his ears.

"Stop..." Master struggled to his feet and immediately blocked Dean Flander, who was about to make a move.

Though he was in a wretched state, bending when necessary was Master's guiding principle. He spat out a mouthful of blood-mixed saliva, took a deep breath of hot air, and said:

"Flender, do you have a death wish? He is a Title Douluo. If you want to die, don't drag the children down with you!"

Master understood that if they fought here today, Shrek Academy would no longer have a place anywhere on Douluo Continent. The children might even die here.

Dean Flander glared with wide eyes and said through clenched teeth, "Xiao Gang, I cannot allow Shrek Academy to be disgraced!"

"How can you possibly contend against a Title Douluo?" Master exhaled and said, "Even if old men like us are not afraid of death, are we supposed to make the children die alongside us?"

"Xiao Gang..." Flender's heart was torn. Shrek Academy had suffered such humiliation today. As its dean, was he supposed to cling to life and beg for mercy with his tail between his legs?!

Master turned around. Ignoring the pain in his cheek, he bowed respectfully to Chief Dream Machine. "Let today's matter end here. Thank you to the three seniors for your generous hospitality. Until we meet again."

Chief Dream Machine's expression was grave as he raised his head to look at Lin Yuan. "Teacher Lin, is there truly no room for discussion in this matter?"

"Colluding with Soul Beasts warrants the execution of all Shrek Academy disciples. Considering that they did not know Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast, they may be spared. However, they must not remain at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, lest they tarnish our empire's reputation."

Prince Xue Xing stepped forward and spoke calmly.

Lin Yuan said nothing. He merely turned around and sat in his chair, seemingly agreeing with Prince Xue Xing's view.

Besides, the disciples of Shrek Academy came from different places. If they were all executed here, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing this, Chief Dream Machine could only sigh. "Dean Flander, I too bear half the responsibility for today's events. Now that things have come to this, we can only let the matter rest."

Dean Flander said nothing. He withdrew his martial soul, turned around, and left without looking back.

Tang San wanted to take Xiao Wu away with him, but Zhao Wuji immediately stopped him. This was no longer the time for him to cause a scene. If they truly enraged a Title Douluo, everyone here would die today.

"Little San, calm down! A Title Douluo is not someone you can contend against. Stop courting death!"

Tang San's eyes were red, as though blood might drip from them. He cried out hoarsely, "I, Tang San, will never rest until Heaven Dou Royal Academy is destroyed!"

Zhao Wuji immediately knocked Tang San unconscious. If Tang San continued speaking like that, then even if Lin Yuan did not act, Chief Dream Machine and the other two would likely strike at once and kill the disciples of Shrek Academy on the spot.
