To re-establish his prestige in Tang San's heart and prove his own judgment, Yu Xiaogang decided to put on a stellar performance once the next Arena Tournament began.

He admitted that there had been some minor missteps previously.

But as the saying goes, to err is human.

Even sages make mistakes.

Let alone a master of theory who was no sage.

Yu Xiaogang did not have to wait long for this chance to prove himself.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, like a white horse galloping past a crevice.

In the blink of an eye, it was here!

The fifth Arena Tournament commenced accordingly.

[Fifth individual match, random matching in progress.] [Two participants successfully locked.] [Tang San VS Huo Yuhao.]

As soon as the list was announced, a look of wild joy appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.

"It's in the bag!"

"This match is a sure win!"

"Among the younger generation, no one can compare to my disciple."

"Little San, I have absolute confidence in you."

Yu Xiaogang did not care at all about what kind of small fry Huo Yuhao was.

In his view, among soul masters of the same rank, Tang San was leagues ahead.

Yu Xiaogang was very clear about just how strong Tang San's power was.

Not to mention how overpowered Tang San's Blue Silver Entanglement was.

The mere unpredictability of Tang San's Tang Sect Hidden Weapons was enough to leave others in a state of utter distress.

Moreover, Tang San also possessed the Clear Sky Hammer.

This was the trump card known as the continent's strongest tool spirit.

During this period, Tang Hao had spared no effort in teaching him the Clear Sky Ultimate Arts.

Tang San's mastery of the Clear Sky Hammer, while perhaps not perfect, was definitely more than enough.

"Sigh..."

"It's a real pity that I don't have any good items left to bet with."

"Otherwise, I would definitely go all-in this time."

Yu Xiaogang sighed, a look of regret appearing on his face.

Beside him...

Tang San's expression could not have been uglier.

Originally, he had been sufficiently confident in his own strength.

But now, after what Yu Xiaogang had said, Tang San felt as if he had been invisibly stacked with a multitude of debuffs.

Damn Gangzi.

Isn't this cursing me?

Tang San was somewhat broken.

He hadn't even stepped onto the arena yet, and he already felt like he was going to lose.

The reason, naturally, was Yu Xiaogang's tried-and-failed judgment.

Yu Xiaogang favored him and even wanted to go all-in on him.

How was this any different from declaring him the loser outright?

"Little San, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Your teacher believes in your strength."

"No matter how excellent a soul master from ten thousand years in the future may be, he is certainly no match for you."

"Don't forget, you are the man destined to become a god in the future."

Seeing Tang San's face turn ashen, Yu Xiaogang assumed the boy was nervous and immediately offered comfort.

Yu Xiaogang cared deeply about this battle.

Tang San was his disciple.

In a sense, he also represented his reputation.

If Tang San won beautifully and shocked the crowd, then the name of Yu Xiaogang would surely be revered by countless people.

After all, such an impressive disciple had been cultivated by his own hands.

Tang San: "..."

At this moment, Tang San desperately wanted to commit teacher-slaying treason just to make Yu Xiaogang shut up.

However, his persona of being pure and noble did not allow him to act on impulse.

Tang Hao walked up from behind and patted Tang San on the shoulder.

"Little San, don't feel any pressure."

"You are even more outstanding than I was at your age."

Tang Hao's eyes were filled with kindness.

He felt proud to have a son like Tang San.

Once the boy became a god in the future, he could proudly announce to the sect that he had birthed a god for the Clear Sky Sect.

With this achievement alone, the mistakes he had committed in the past would be of no concern.

The sect would have to respectfully welcome him back.

"I understand, Father."

Tang San nodded, forcibly suppressing the ominous premonition in his heart.

He couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to Yu Xiaogang now, fearing the man might stack some other "poisonous buff" on him.

To silence Yu Xiaogang, Tang San didn't waste any more time and walked directly into the teleportation portal.

Shrek Outer Academy!

When Huo Yuhao learned that he was about to face the legendary Tang San in a duel, he was completely stunned.

To him, this battle was sacred.

Within the entire Shrek Academy, the influence of the Sea God was immense.

The vast majority of people had heard of Tang San's legendary deeds.

Especially since Huo Yuhao was a member of the Tang Sect, he naturally understood just how much weight Tang San carried.

Being able to fight against him was an absolute honor.

"Yuhao, after you spar with the Sea God, could you ask him for an autograph for me?"

Tang Ya was the most excited of them all.

As the current master of the Tang Sect, her greatest wish was undoubtedly to revive the sect.

If she could get Tang San's autograph, it would be the greatest motivation for her.

"Sister Xiaoya, if conditions permit, I will definitely put in a word for you."

Huo Yuhao didn't know if Tang San would be willing, as they had no prior connection.

He didn't have absolute certainty that he could accomplish this.

Moreover, they were about to engage in battle; if things got heated, Tang Ya's request would likely go unfulfilled.

"Yuhao, then I'll leave it to you."

Tang Ya's eyes sparkled.

Tang San was essentially her idol.

Just the thought of getting her idol's autograph made her heart race with excitement.

Wang Dong walked over, her tone haughty.

"Huo Yuhao, don't you dare lose."

"If you lose, not only will our dormitory lose face, but the entire Shrek Academy will be disgraced as well."

"Rest assured!"

"I will give it my all!"

Huo Yuhao took this battle very seriously.

To be able to fight the Sea God was an opportunity not everyone could have.

Even though the Tang San before him had not yet ascended to godhood.

That did not diminish Tang San's stature in the slightest.

Sea God Pavilion!

A flicker of seriousness crossed Mu En's eyes.

"Little fellow, I hope you can bring a surprise to the Academy."

Mu En was no stranger to Huo Yuhao.

Throughout the entire Outer Court, Huo Yuhao was the most polite.

In his daily routine of basking in the sun by the dormitory entrance, he had interacted with Huo Yuhao many times.

It could be said that he was one of the few students Mu En paid close attention to.

Moreover, Mu En was even considering taking Huo Yuhao as his disciple.

Ever since Huo Yuhao revealed his second martial soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

The more Mu En looked at Huo Yuhao, the more he liked him.

However, he was still observing for now.

If Huo Yuhao managed to defeat Tang San.

Then, upon his return, Mu En would take him as a disciple immediately and focus on his cultivation.

Soon...

Huo Yuhao entered the arena under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The moment Huo Yuhao met Tang San for the first time.

A strange sensation suddenly welled up in his heart.

Strange, even though it's our first time meeting.

Why does my heart feel such an urge to rush up and fight him immediately?

Could it be because I'm too nervous?

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself in his heart.

On the surface, however, he greeted Tang San very politely.

"I admire you, Brother San."

"It is my honor to be able to fight you today."

"Regardless of whether I win or lose in the end, being able to cross hands with a powerhouse like you is an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life."

Huo Yuhao was very polite, starting things off with a round of flattery.
