Just as Shi Nian was being threatened by Ning Rongrong and Yu Xiaolong in the names of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, someone shouted loudly from outside, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sure have a lot of nerve!"
Hearing this, both the people from Shrek Academy and those from Canghui Academy were shocked. Who would dare to show such disregard for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
A man slowly walked in from outside. He looked to be around forty, with a tall, slender build and dressed in green.
When Ning Rongrong heard what he said and saw him, she immediately bristled. Who did he think he was, talking about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like that?
"Hey, who are you? How dare you speak that way about my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"May I ask what I said about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"You said the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a lot of nerve."
"Well, doesn't your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have a lot of nerve?"
"You!"
"And besides, what do you mean by 'your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect'? As far as I know, the current sect master is Ning Fengzhi. What gives you the right to speak that way?"
"I'll have you know, I'm Ning Fengzhi's daughter. I can represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"You're just a little girl, and you think you can represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Has the sect really fallen so low that it has no one else?"
"How dare you talk to me like that! I'll have Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone teach you a lesson!"
"Can you be sure you'll still be standing when your Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone get here?"
"You're threatening me?"
"If you're not sure, you'd better stop talking so much. If you didn't have two good grandfathers, you'd have died more times than you could count by now."
"You!"
Although Ning Rongrong was still indignant, she had the sense to keep quiet.
Seeing how the newcomer acted, Yu Xiaolong realized that he didn't care about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the least. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was even less powerful, so Yu Xiaolong didn't dare say a word.
The others understood who the newcomer was as soon as they heard what he said.
Someone who showed equal disregard for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could only be one person.
At that thought, Shi Nian looked the man over again and immediately realized who he was.
Shi Nian was about to bow, but the man waved a hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite. I know everything that's happened here. Your Canghui Academy was clearly in the right, so leave this matter to me."
Hearing this, Shi Nian and the people from Canghui Academy bowed to the man, then left.
After they had gone, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help asking Shi Nian, "Vice Dean, who exactly was that lord?"
Zhao Wuji was wondering the same thing.
Zhao Wuji was also sizing the man up. Who was he? He couldn't sense the man's Soul Power at all, which meant his level had to be higher than Zhao Wuji's. And he was from Spirit Hall. Could he have come to arrest him?
At the thought, Zhao Wuji broke out in a cold sweat.
But he was the highest-level person there, so he had no choice but to steel himself and go ask, "May I ask who you are, sir?"
"'Sir' is too grand a title for me. I'm just an unknown nobody. It's only that some people on the continent gave me a title: Cloud Bat."
Cloud Bat. At the sound of that title, Tang San immediately knew who the man was.
Cloud Bat Douluo Ye Lingyun, an elder of Spirit Hall, possessed the Green Winged Bat King martial soul, and was even more skilled at concealment than Ghost Douluo.
In his previous life, when Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall, Cloud Bat Douluo never appeared on the front lines. Instead, he hid in the shadows, carrying out one assassination after another. He came and went without a trace, making Tang San's life miserable. In the end, Tang San had to use the Sea God's Power to pinpoint Cloud Bat Douluo's location before he could finally kill him.
Now that he knew Cloud Bat Douluo's identity, Tang San immediately dismissed him with disdain. After all, he was the mighty God King Tang San. How could he take a mere Cloud Bat Douluo seriously?
Cloud Bat Douluo naturally sensed Tang San's disdain. With a surge of Soul Power, he dragged Tang San over, grabbed him by the throat, and slammed him to the ground. Then he planted a foot on Tang San.
"You seem to look down on me. I don't usually hold things like that against people, but you should know that a Titled Douluo must not be insulted."
As he spoke, Cloud Bat Douluo kicked Tang San against the wall.
The wall crashed down, and Tang San spat out a mouthful of blood before being buried under the bricks.
"Third Brother!" Seeing Tang San's condition, Xiao Wu couldn't help crying out.
Her cry left Cloud Bat Douluo at a loss.
Cloud Bat Douluo had recognized Xiao Wu as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast from the start. But Qian Renyu had specifically instructed him to leave the beast alone for now, so he had turned a blind eye.
He hadn't expected the beast to be so bold. Not only had it failed to run away in front of a Titled Douluo, it had even started shouting. It clearly didn't take him seriously at all.
But there was nothing he could do. The young master had told him not to touch the beast for now.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who had been secretly protecting Tang San, wished he could kill Xiao Wu on the spot.
What the hell was she thinking? Didn't she know what she was? A Titled Douluo was standing right there, and she was still yelling despite being a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast.
Seeing the scene, Tang Xiao, who was beside Tang Hao, suddenly felt that Tang Hao had dragged him into a mess.
At first, when Tang Hao had asked him to help, he'd thought protecting Tang San would be easy. Once Tang San had grown strong enough, he could absorb that Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast and take it as his own. Besides, Tang San was his nephew.
And only Soul Douluos and Titled Douluos could recognize a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast. There weren't that many powerful people on the continent.
But now, that Hundred-Thousand-Year beast kept running into Titled Douluos—and was even asking for trouble.
This job was way too hard.
When Tang Xiao and Tang Hao met each other's eyes, they both saw the other's helplessness. But there was nothing they could do. It was all for Xiao San.
At that moment, Cloud Bat Douluo suddenly felt two powerful pressures locking onto him.
He should have felt threatened with powerful enemies before him, but instead, Cloud Bat Douluo felt utterly relieved.
At last, he had a perfect excuse to get away from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast.
After sensing the pressure from the Tang brothers, Cloud Bat Douluo told Zhao Wuji, "You'll compensate the hotel for the damage. Otherwise—"
Then he flew out of the hotel, and, naturally, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao lured him farther and farther away.
Xiao Wu felt she'd been incredibly lucky. At first, when she heard the words "Titled Douluo," she'd instinctively wanted to run, since only Titled Douluos had titles.
But she'd been beaten down and couldn't get away.
Still, she felt that even if she'd been unharmed, she might not have escaped. She remembered that Sword Douluo had come by twice last time and hadn't noticed her, so she'd gotten a little overconfident. She'd thought it would be enough to hide behind the crowd..
After calling out to Third Brother, Xiao Wu's heart had leaped into her throat. Fortunately, the Titled Douluo hadn't noticed her and had left instead.
Xiao Wu couldn't help sighing again. "I, Sister Xiao Wu, really am a lucky beast."
