Chicken Leg Douluo

Thump.

Yu Xiaogang in the scene lost his footing and nearly fell heavily to the ground.

And just as Yu Xiaogang fell,

the Mandala Snake, which had been about to catch up with them, had now reached his back.

It opened its jaws wide and lunged down to bite Yu Xiaogang.

"Sanpao, hold it off!"

At Yu Xiaogang's call, Luo Sanpao fearlessly stepped in front of him.

But Luo Sanpao, who had no real fighting ability, was simply run over by the Mandala Snake like a speed bump.

"Awoo~~"

After letting out a miserable wail, Luo Sanpao turned into a streak of purple light and returned to Yu Xiaogang's body.

The Mandala Snake didn't slow down. It was about to swallow Yu Xiaogang whole.

But at this critical moment, the six-year-old Tang San finally stopped hiding his abilities.

Unlike Yu Xiaogang, who was panicking and at a loss, Tang San's face was still somewhat childish, but his eyes were cold and indifferent.

He deftly pulled out the Hidden Weapons concealed on his person and moved with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

With a fluid series of movements, the short sword in his hand plunged into the Mandala Snake's mouth.

Afterward, Tang San pretended to be badly injured and fell to the ground as well.

"If Tang San hadn't used Hidden Weapons—or if Tang San really were just an ordinary genius with Twin Martial Souls and full innate Soul Power—"

"then the two of them would definitely have died in the jaws of this Mandala Snake. This incident proves that our Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang had remarkable foresight."

"He must have anticipated this when they went to hunt for his First Soul Ring. He knew he couldn't defeat a Hundred-Year Soul Beast."

"So, as soon as they entered the Soul Hunting Forest, he started brainwashing Tang San, telling him to settle for a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo. But Tang San wouldn't listen, would he?"

"He just had to go deeper into the forest. There'd be no problem if he wanted to go, but the teacher who brought him along to hunt for his First Soul Ring was a good-for-nothing."

"In the end, a twenty-nine-rank Soul Grandmaster actually had to be rescued by a six-year-old child."

"I have to say, Gangzi's performance here almost rivals that of the Chicken Leg Douluo ten thousand years later."

The Heavenly Curtain mercilessly drove a knife into Yu Xiaogang's chest, tearing away the pride he cared about most and trampling it in front of everyone on the Douluo Continent.

At that moment, everyone from Shrek was dumbfounded.

They stood rooted to the spot, their eyes wide with shock as they looked back and forth between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

They had never imagined that when a teacher took his newly initiated disciple to hunt for a Soul Ring, and they faced a Hundred-Year Soul Beast, it would be the six-year-old Tang San who rescued the twenty-nine-year-old Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was just... such a useless good-for-nothing.

Ever since the Heavenly Curtain began showing how Yu Xiaogang and Tang San met, they still hadn't seen Yu Xiaogang help Tang San in the slightest.

He'd even wanted Tang San to absorb a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo.

Could someone like that really raise Tang San to become a god?

"Cough, cough, cough!!!"

Noticing the strange looks everyone was giving him, Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched. He forced down his embarrassment and loudly defended himself:

"My entire life has been devoted to studying Martial Soul Theory. I even used up my own Soul Rings to conduct experiments, so of course I'm not good at fighting."

"And I owe a great deal to Xiao San for what happened back then. That's precisely why Xiao San was better suited to be my disciple."

Thanks to his astonishingly thick skin, Yu Xiaogang even managed to sound self-righteous:

"Besides, didn't the Heavenly Curtain say it was all speculation? You can't take it as fact."

"I, Yu Xiaogang, raised a god!"

Watching Yu Xiaogang approach the brink of madness, the Shrek students and even the teachers like Flender were left speechless.

They gradually lost interest in this Yu Xiaogang, who had supposedly raised a god.

What interested them more now was Tang San, a six-year-old genius with Twin Martial Souls who had killed a Hundred-Year Mandala Snake without even having a Soul Ring.

"Xiao San, you're incredible. You could hunt a Mandala Snake when you were only six."

With Dai Mubai leading the way, Oscar and Ma Hongjun began showering Tang San with praise.

"That's amazing, Xiao San—no, Brother San! When you make it big, don't forget about your little brother!"

Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually silent, couldn't help feeling envious when she saw Tang San's strange Hidden Weapon techniques. She wanted to say something, but swallowed the words before they left her mouth.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi's expression had grown extremely grave.

As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he didn't particularly care about Yu Xiaogang's embarrassing predicament.

As far as he was concerned, it didn't matter whether it was real or not.

What truly concerned him was that a six-year-old child named Tang San had killed a three- or four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake using some kind of secret technique.

It looked like anyone could learn this technique.

Many Soul Masters in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were support types with little ability to protect themselves. If he could obtain this secret technique,

then under his leadership, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely rise to glory.

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian, forget about that theoretical master Yu Xiaogang for now. Look for Tang San first."

"He won't become a God King until the future. Right now, he should still be weak, so we have to do everything we can to get the secret technique in his hands."

"Whoever gets Tang San gets the world!"

Peerless Tang Sect.

"Uh..."

The Shrek students who had been called out by their teachers stared at Yu Xiaogang's useless performance, big question marks appearing over their heads.

They had never expected the first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters and their teacher to have a secret history like this.

"Phew~~"

Someone in Shrek Academy drew a sharp breath.

"A twenty-nine-rank teacher took his six-year-old disciple to hunt Soul Beasts, nearly got eaten, and had to be rescued by the disciple."

"That's ridiculous, isn't it?"

"Yeah. I grew up hearing stories about Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. I always thought Yu Xiaogang, the man who taught Tang San to become a god, must be incredibly impressive."

"Alas, it's not that I don't believe in Grandmaster anymore, but he really is weak."

Just as the students were arguing among themselves, a white-haired female teacher who looked difficult to get along with walked over.

"What are you all making such a racket about? Grandmaster was one of the founding teachers of Shrek Academy. What gives you juniors the right to criticize him?"

Zhou Yi walked over with a dark expression and glared at the students around her.

"Watch properly. If I hear you making any more disrespectful remarks about Grandmaster, Shrek Academy won't tolerate students with such poor character!"

Under Zhou Yi's threat to expel them, the students, who had worked so hard to get into Shrek, reluctantly lowered their heads.

Seeing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes.

As expected, threatening expulsion always worked.

Meanwhile, Xuan Zi stopped chewing on his chicken leg.

"Chicken Leg Douluo? Who's the Chicken Leg Douluo?"
