Yu Xiaogang: I Should Be from the One Piece Continent!

"Teacher, you just can't eat two fruits—you've never eaten one! I think you can still obtain another Martial Soul!" Yu Zhi chuckled when he saw her expression.

He leaned closer, his tone teasing. "When the One Piece Dungeon opens, if we're selected, I'll personally pick the fruit that suits you best, Dong'er."

At that intimate form of address, Bibi Dong's cheeks instantly flushed red. She shot him a reproachful glance. "You little bastard, don't mess around in the main hall. Tonight..."

"But at night, I want to call you Teacher even more. What should I do?" Yu Zhi's smile deepened as he deliberately teased her.

It had to be said, a shy mature woman was simply incredible!

Especially someone like Bibi Dong, a top-tier love-struck fool!

Bibi Dong could do nothing about him. She looked up at the Sky Screen and said softly, "Do as you please! You don't listen to me anymore anyway!"

Yu Zhi felt thoroughly satisfied as he watched her slightly bashful expression.

Similar exchanges had happened who knew how many times over the past month. Bibi Dong had gone from fleeing in embarrassment at first to answering him calmly now. She had improved by who knew how much!

Or rather, Brother Zhi had trained her well!

Worship Hall

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze resting on the words "One Piece Continent." A trace of distant nostalgia quietly flashed through his eyes.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward half a pace with a slight smile. "Big Brother, did Sea God Island come to mind?"

"It's all in the past." Qian Daoliu waved a hand indifferently. His peripheral vision swept over the various expressions of the consecrators beside him, and he naturally saw through their thoughts.

Golden Crocodile was still unwilling to accept it. He declared loudly, "Back then, you were only temporarily outmatched by Tang Chen. Now, not only do you have new combat strategies, but you've also cultivated the Ninjutsu methods of the Naruto Continent. Your combat strength is no longer what it once was. Tang Xiao relies on nothing more than the Ring Detonation Technique. With your current strength, how could it be difficult to toy with him?"

"Exactly!" Mighty Lion Douluo immediately echoed him, his tone excited. "If they fight again, Tang Xiao will definitely be the one to lose! Then Bo Saixi of Sea God Island will see clearly who is truly stronger!"

The other consecrators also chimed in one after another, each adding their own words as they egged him on.

As their words continuously reached his ears, Qian Daoliu's heart, silent for many years, reignited.

The aura around him tightened slightly as he said in a deep voice, "Fine. If we meet again someday, I will thoroughly defeat Tang Chen before Bo Saixi!"

A teasing glint flashed through Guang Ling Douluo's eyes as he deliberately drew out his words. "And after you defeat him, Big Brother?"

That single sentence struck right at the heart of it. Qian Daoliu immediately coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, then abruptly turned around and faced away from everyone.

"Cough, cough... Behave yourselves and focus on watching the Sky Screen."

Several low chuckles rang out in the hall. They knew Qian Daoliu had not denied what would happen after his victory!

Clear Sky Sect

Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son, had already returned to the sect. At first, the elders had all put on a show of blocking them, demanding that Tang San hand over the Mysterious Heaven Skill!

But no one had expected Tang Hao to offer so much. Not only had he handed over the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but he had also placed Xiao Wu, the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, under the sect's control.

What else could they say?!

With that enormous token of allegiance, Tang Hao could finally stand firmly within the sect as the Clear Sky Douluo.

However, Seventh Elder was somewhat puzzled. The Mysterious Heaven Skill was indeed exceptionally profound, but it should not have been enough to make Fugaku Uchiha of the Naruto World lose control like that.

Yet when his gaze fell on the guarded Xiao Wu, looking at this rare Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the doubts on the tip of his tongue were ultimately swallowed back down.

At that moment, First Elder looked toward Tang Xiao in the seat of honor and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, the Sky Screen has begun introducing the One Piece Continent. If the dungeon opens next, I hope everyone will act cautiously and stop being so headstrong."

The warning in his words could not have been more obvious. Tang Xiao's face turned green, then pale, but he had no way to refute it.

After all, among those who had gone to the Naruto Continent, his record was the worst. His screen time had not even amounted to a fraction of everyone else's!

"First Elder, those words are inappropriate." Seeing this, Tang San immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to defend Tang Xiao. "My uncle is the master of a sect and oversees the entire clan. Speaking to him like this in public is rather improper."

Tang Xiao's heart warmed at his words, and he gave Tang San a complicated look.

Over these past days, several elders had often mocked him, the sect master, both openly and subtly. Fortunately, Tang San had repeatedly stepped forward to support him.

It was just a pity. Why weren't you Ah Yin's son? You were merely a soul from another world!

"Heh! You think I was talking about him and not you? Is your record any better? The whole continent has heard about it—Twin Heroes of Clear Sky? Don't think that donating a cultivation method means you can do whatever you please!" The resentment First Elder had suppressed for days finally erupted as he shouted harshly.

"Spirit Hall is spreading word everywhere that you are a spy from another world. The entire continent sees you as an enemy invader! It was Clear Sky Sect that took the risk of annihilation to shelter you and give you protection!"

His heart was filled with indignation. Tang San was shamelessly fawning over Tang Xiao, the sect master! But what about him, the First Elder? Tang San simply ignored him!

He was honestly curious what kind of sect the Tang Sect was, to have raised someone into this!

"Enough, both of you. Watch the Sky Screen first." Second Elder hurriedly stood and tried to smooth things over.

The sect had gained the Mysterious Heaven Skill and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. He was also a beneficiary, so it was difficult for him to keep arguing.

Besides, this was essentially a power struggle between the sect master and First Elder. He had no intention of getting involved.

Seeing that the two were still at each other's throats, Second Elder persuaded them separately. "Big Brother, Tang San has rendered merit to the sect. There is no need to be so harsh on him. Tang San, First Elder is an elder of the sect. Even if his words were somewhat severe, you should be more tolerant."

The moment the word "elder" appeared, it was as though some mechanism within Tang San had been triggered. He immediately bowed and apologized. "First Elder, I was wrong! You are an elder!"

First Elder looked at his utterly devoted appearance and felt uncomfortable all over. It was somehow less satisfying than their earlier confrontation. He waved his hand helplessly. "Forget it. Watch the Sky Screen."

The other elders all breathed sighs of relief. Their tense expressions gradually relaxed as they raised their heads together and focused on the Sky Screen's introduction to the One Piece Continent.

Only Tang Hao stood in a corner with his arms crossed, his expression indifferent as he coldly watched the dispute that had just unfolded in the hall.

Shrek Academy

Everyone looked up at the Sky Screen, their eyes fixed tightly on the four words "Martial Soul Fruit."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes shone brightly, and his entire mood surged. Turning to Flender beside him, he said excitedly, "Flender, my chance has come! This One Piece Continent may be my opportunity to defy fate and change my destiny!"

Flender knew of the knot in his heart that had persisted for many years. He had been trapped by his mutated Martial Soul for life, unable to break through Rank 30.

After pondering for a moment, Flender showed a worried expression. "Xiao Gang, think this through. The Naruto Dungeon was extraordinarily dangerous last time. Even Title Douluo fell inside. Even if you can return safely in the end, the pain and dangers along the way will be real. With your combat strength, being selected would be far too risky."
