In the end, this farce was only brought to a stop after the Dean stepped in.
He looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had vomited blood and fainted, then at Jiang Liang, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others, who looked completely unconcerned. He sighed helplessly.
These little brats really were a bunch of demon pills.
After something this serious had happened, it was naturally impossible to let it go without consequence.
So the Dean gave everyone a disciplinary warning.
Jiang Liang in particular received the harshest punishment of all: "Don't do it again."
Yu Xiaogang had only just recovered when he heard those words, "Don't do it again." He was so furious that he vomited blood again and passed out.
The scene descended into chaos once more.
"What a bore."
Jiang Liang shook his head disdainfully. "Xiao Wu, let's go eat. Otherwise, we might get so disgusted later that we won't be able to eat."
"Coming!" Xiao Wu followed him with a cheerful smile.
She was absolutely thrilled today. Not only had she gotten to beat up Tang San, but she had also angered that hypocrite Yu Xiaogang until he vomited blood!
Seeing this, Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu, and the others hurriedly followed after them as well.
The Dean watched their retreating backs, then glanced at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang and shook his head helplessly.
He quickly stopped several students who were about to leave and had them carry Yu Xiaogang back to his dormitory.
Tang San followed behind them with a complicated expression.
Before long, the group arrived at Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
After settling him onto the bed, the students took their leave.
The moment they stepped outside, bursts of loud laughter came from beyond the dormitory.
Listening to that harsh laughter, Tang San's face darkened further and further.
But when he turned and saw his teacher still unconscious, he did not go out to trouble those students. Instead, he sat down beside the bed.
He noticed that Yu Xiaogang's complexion seemed wrong, so he checked his pulse.
The snake venom had reached his heart, and he had already begun running a high fever.
While hunting Soul Beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, his teacher had been bitten by a Datura Snake.
Tang San had spent tremendous effort sucking out most of the venom.
He had only just recovered.
Yet after Jiang Liang provoked him earlier, the remaining venom in his body had flared up.
Tang San frowned tightly. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to treat Yu Xiaogang.
As the saying went, a teacher for a day was a father for life.
Although what Jiang Liang said was very likely true, his teacher had taught him many things after all.
For three days straight, Tang San never left the bedside. At night, he curled up beside the couch to rest.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the third night.
After Yu Xiaogang's fever subsided, his consciousness gradually returned as well.
He groggily opened his eyes and looked at Tang San, who had collapsed from exhaustion beside the bed. A wave of warmth rose in his heart.
This child was so good. He had exhausted himself caring for him.
Yu Xiaogang reached out and gently stroked Tang San's hair, becoming even more determined to pass all his theoretical knowledge on to this disciple in the future.
As for Jiang Liang...
At the thought of what had happened that day, Yu Xiaogang's features twisted savagely as he ground his teeth in hatred.
That Jiang Liang actually dared to question my theories!
He deserved to die! He deserved to die!
And that Dean!
At a time like this, he still had not expelled Jiang Liang for him, and he even said something like, "Don't do it again!"
He, too, had a Way of Seeking Death!
Just wait. Once I nurture this disciple into a Title Douluo, I'll make every one of you regret it!
The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the tighter his fists clenched.
"Ah!"
Tang San felt a sharp pain in his scalp and woke up instantly.
"Teacher, you're awake?"
Yu Xiaogang jumped in fright and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"Sorry, Tang San. Teacher grabbed you too hard just now."
"It's fine." Tang San answered indifferently, then tucked in the corner of his blanket.
Seeing his lukewarm expression, Yu Xiaogang was even more alarmed.
This was bad. This disciple seemed to be starting to doubt him!
He was still counting on Tang San to clear his name and avenge him.
"Tang San, do you believe what Jiang Liang said too?"
Tang San did not answer, but the look in his eyes already explained plenty.
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly explained, "Tang San, you mustn't believe Jiang Liang's nonsense. How could a child possibly have a deeper understanding of theory than your teacher?"
"Think about it. Teacher has studied six hundred and forty-seven possessors of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Could I really teach you wrong?"
Tang San still said nothing, but his gaze grew confused.
He lowered his head and frowned slightly. Could it be that I blamed Teacher wrongly just now?
Was Jiang Liang the one in the wrong, not Teacher?
Yu Xiaogang took Tang San's hand, speaking earnestly and patiently.
"Tang San, listen to Teacher. Jiang Liang is not truly strong at all. He just stepped in dog shit and got lucky!"
"He merely stumbled into two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, yet he dares to criticize Teacher's theories and humiliate both you and me!"
"So what if he has Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings? He is nothing more than a brute with strength."
"But you are different!"
As he spoke, he gave the back of Tang San's hand a heavy slap.
Tang San winced in pain and slowly raised his head.
Yu Xiaogang continued, "With Teacher's theoretical guidance, you are the third person on Douluo Continent to possess Twin Martial Souls."
"Although Blue Silver Grass is merely a useless Martial Soul, as long as you faithfully follow Teacher's theories, you will definitely break through your shackles in the future!"
"You may even use Blue Silver Grass to become the first genius with a useless Martial Soul to achieve the rank of Title Douluo!"
At those words, Tang San's expression finally softened.
But when he recalled Jiang Liang's words, he still felt conflicted.
"Teacher, then what Jiang Liang said..."
Before he could finish, Yu Xiaogang cut him off sharply.
"What does a brat like Jiang Liang know about Martial Soul theory? He only dares to act arrogant because of his Soul Ring advantage!"
"Once you study Teacher's theories properly and break through in level, you can crush him with your own hands."
"You'll prove both that Teacher's theories are correct and that you yourself are capable."
Tang San nodded thoughtfully.
That was right. What could Jiang Liang, a child his own age, possibly know?
Perhaps those words were merely Jiang Liang's own prejudices.
Teacher's theories were useful!
Yu Xiaogang gently patted Tang San's shoulder and smiled. "Teacher has no great wish in this life. I only want to pass everything I have learned on to you."
"Tang San, are you willing to accept it?"
"Teacher, this disciple is willing!"
Tang San was instantly moved, while secretly reproaching himself.
I was truly a beast just now. I actually doubted Teacher's theories because of a few words from someone else!
Jiang Liang, you misled me. You truly have a Way of Seeking Death!
Yu Xiaogang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally fooled him.
He smiled and rubbed Tang San's head. "Good child, go find Teacher something to eat first. Teacher is a little hungry."
"Understood, Teacher. I'll go find food right away." Tang San hurriedly nodded and rushed out.
Yu Xiaogang watched his retreating back, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
But the instant the dormitory door closed, the smile vanished from his face.
Jiang Liang, you dared question my theories. I will never let you off!
