Why Had My Injuries Gotten Worse?

Yu Xiaogang was utterly dumbfounded!

His internal organs felt as if they'd all been shattered. His mind rang, and the world spun around him!

Fortunately, Tang Hao had held back. After a dozen or so seconds, Yu Xiaogang recovered.

And at last, he understood.

Tang San was Tang Hao's son!

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's heart turned ice-cold!

Damn it! If I'd known Tang San was Tang Hao's son, how could I ever have dared take him on as a student?!

I thought he was the descendant of some disciple who'd been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect!

It's over, it's over! I've gotten myself into a huge mess!

As the eldest young master of one of the Upper Three Sects, Yu Xiaogang knew a little about what had happened to Tang Hao back then.

He knew Tang Hao had lost his wife and that Tang San was his only son after all these years.

If anything happened to that boy, Tang Hao would absolutely tear him limb from limb!

So, in the blink of an eye, he came up with an explanation and said, "So Tang San's father is you! You've always been my idol! I..."

"Cut the crap!" Tang Hao snapped coldly. "I'm asking you now: what exactly caused his Soul Skill to go out of control?"

"Well..."

Yu Xiaogang broke into a cold sweat.

"Well... actually, I'm not entirely sure either. I'll find the cause and fix the problem!"

Tang Hao stared at him without saying a word.

When someone of this caliber stayed silent, the pressure was even worse!

Cold sweat poured down Yu Xiaogang's forehead and back. Before long, fear had him trembling all over!

This pressure! This was the pressure of a Titled Douluo!

No!

My heart!

It's about to burst!

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to reach his limit, Tang Hao finally spoke. "I hope you keep your word!"

"I don't want to be fighting alongside my son one day, only to get hit from behind by his Soul Skill!"

The moment he spoke, the pressure vanished.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly said, "Of course! The first thing I plan to do when I get back is find out why his Soul Skill went out of control and fix the problem! I'll definitely find the cause and solve it. After all, he's my student too!"

"Let me speak from the heart. I mean no offense, so please don't misunderstand. I've never married and have no children. I truly like Tang San. In my eyes, he's not just my student; I think of him as half a son. So I'll definitely solve this problem! Please believe me!"

Tang Hao took a deep breath and studied Yu Xiaogang closely once more.

This time, Yu Xiaogang neither looked away nor showed fear. He met Tang Hao's gaze calmly.

That made him seem sincere.

If he'd kept acting shifty, Tang Hao might well have killed him on the spot.

This Titled Douluo was a ruthless man—

the kind of ruthless man who dared to attack even the Pope!

He'd apparently even wounded the Pope?

A man like that feared neither the Pope nor Spirit Hall. Why would he show mercy to a mere Soul Master with a Trash Martial Soul?

Even if Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, and even if Tang San might respect him,

in Tang Hao's eyes, he was the one who'd caused Tang San's Soul Skill to go out of control!

So, to save his own skin, Yu Xiaogang brought out the acting skills he'd spent his whole life honing!

In the end, he succeeded.

Tang Hao saw the sincerity in his eyes and nodded. "All right. I'll give you one chance. The next time I come, I hope this problem will have been solved."

"Next time?" Yu Xiaogang asked, slightly taken aback. "You're leaving? But you're Tang San's father. He can't do without..."

"I have some things I need to take care of." As he spoke, Tang Hao took out his Elder Token and tossed it to Yu Xiaogang. "Remember your promise. Take good care of him for me!"

With that, Tang Hao flew out the window and disappeared in a flash.

The powerful pressure that had lingered all around them also vanished completely with Tang Hao's departure.

Yu Xiaogang finally slumped onto the sofa as if all his strength had left him.

Only then did he realize that nearly all his clothes were drenched in sweat!

As expected of a Titled Douluo!

He hadn't even lifted a finger, yet he'd nearly killed him!

Thinking of this,

Yu Xiaogang felt even more miserable!

If his Martial Soul hadn't mutated into such a useless state, then with his talent and abilities back then, at his age now, he might not have become a Titled Douluo, but he should at least have been a Soul Douluo!

But now, all he could do was waste away as a Soul Grandmaster!

Out of nowhere, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Though Tang Hao had held back, he'd still aggravated Yu Xiaogang's injuries.

They'd almost healed, but now they were worse than before.

Sigh...

Why was he so unlucky?

Just then, the door opened.

Yu Xiaogang shuddered and turned around. Tang San walked in carrying some food. "Teacher, I brought you something to eat... Ah! Teacher, what happened to you?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang spit blood, Tang San was dumbfounded!

Wasn't he almost healed? Why was he coughing up blood again?

He hurriedly put down the food container and rushed over to take Yu Xiaogang's pulse. Then he froze on the spot.

"Teacher! What happened? Why are your injuries worse than before?"

Yu Xiaogang: ...

He had no words. He wanted to cry, but no tears came!

And you're asking me?

Your father beat me up!

Damn it!

Being your teacher is so hard!

Why had I been bewitched into taking you on as my student back then?!

Now that your Soul Skill has gone out of control, I don't even dare end our teacher-student relationship, or Tang Hao definitely won't spare me!

And if I can't find out why your Soul Skill is out of control, Tang Hao probably won't spare me either!

What am I supposed to do!

Ah, heavens above!

I'm so unlucky!

Standing behind Tang San, Zhang Tianyu looked every bit as worried as he did. In his heart, though, he was laughing uproariously!

That's right, he was laughing!

Oh, this was priceless!

History really was repeating itself!

In his previous life,

after returning from the Soul Hunting Forest, Yu Xiaogang had been beaten up by Tang Hao.

In this life, after returning from the forest, Yu Xiaogang had been beaten up by Tang Hao again!

Just as expected, Emporio!

The enlightened are always happy!

Even after experiencing Rebirth and a reset, even after everything had returned to the starting point and begun anew,

fate that was already set in stone still couldn't be changed!

Accept your fate, Yu Xiaogang!

"Teacher, what exactly happened just now? Why did your injuries suddenly get worse again?" Tang San asked with concern.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San. His lips trembled, but he couldn't get a single word out.

First he'd been beaten up by the father, then his son had fussed over him—

that was a knife to the heart!

At last,

unable to bear the mental strain any longer, and with his injuries now worse, Yu Xiaogang rolled his eyes and fainted on the sofa.
