After all, even when he invoked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Dugu Bo hadn't taken him seriously. How could he dare cause trouble again?
Yu Xiaogang immediately wilted and pulled his head back in. He didn't dare say a word.
At that moment, Zhou Tong, standing off to the side, spoke up.
It had been so long since he'd seen Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, yet neither of them had changed in the slightest.
That made things easy.
He still remembered clearly how Yu Xiaogang had ostracized him and forced him to leave the academy early.
Now, the chance for revenge had come.
He didn't want to miss it.
"Teacher, I know these two. They're the ones who forced me out of the academy early."
"This Yu Xiaogang is even a well-connected nobody at Notting Academy. He spends his days swindling people and fooling students, but he doesn't have a shred of ability."
"His so-called Martial Soul Theory was stolen from Spirit Hall. That's why they kicked him out."
"This man has committed every kind of evil. He's practically the embodiment of wickedness."
Zhou Tong's words instantly made Yu Xiaogang explode.
His emotions erupted completely.
Being pinned down by a Titled Douluo was one thing, but being challenged twice by a child was too much for him to stomach.
And Tang San was right there, too. Now that his true face had been exposed, how was he supposed to keep fooling Tang San?
"You... you're simply insolent! You're spouting nonsense!"
"The Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls are the result of decades of painstaking research. What do you know about Martial Souls?"
"You're just a little brat, and you dare deny the experience of the entire Soul Master World?"
The more Grandmaster spoke, the more agitated he became. His eyes blazed as he struggled to rise, as if he wanted to devour Zhou Tong.
"Trash, how dare you mock my disciple? Get on your knees!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and pressed down on Yu Xiaogang with terrifying Soul Power, forcing him to his knees once more.
Zhou Tong remained calm, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. He was thoroughly enjoying himself as he taught Yu Xiaogang a lesson.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang fuming yet cowering before him, he was delighted.
Beside them, Tang San's expression shifted slightly. He stepped forward as though to say something, then hesitated and stopped.
"Yu Xiaogang, you asked for a beating. Don't blame me."
"Since we've run into each other, it's time to settle that old score."
"This time, we'll use the same method as before."
"I'll give you a little punishment, so you learn what happens to evildoers!"
The next moment, a streak of purplish-gold lightning shot from Zhou Tong's hand.
"Ah!"
Zhou Tong hadn't used a Soul Skill. He'd only released a tiny trace of ordinary Heaven Lightning.
But even that casual strike was enough to make Yu Xiaogang, who hadn't even reached Soul Power level thirty, howl in pain.
Yu Xiaogang's body was charred black, and he collapsed to the ground.
His already shabby clothes had become nothing but scraps hanging from his body. He looked utterly wretched.
A foul stench drifted through the air, making everyone present wrinkle their noses.
Yu Xiaogang had actually wet himself...
"Gangzi, I shocked you once before, but you didn't learn your lesson."
"This time, I'll make sure you remember what it feels like to be electrocuted."
Zhou Tong had no intention of letting Yu Xiaogang off so easily. Looking at him as he panted like an ox, his eyes bloodshot and his whole body twitching, Zhou Tong curled his lips into a mocking smile.
"Looks like that electric therapy surgery I gave you at Notting Academy last time, where I manually removed something, didn't teach you a lesson."
"Gangzi, you're arrogant and conceited, and you spew filth every time you open your mouth. Looks like you won't change without learning the hard way. I'll have to give you a high-dose electric therapy session."
As soon as Zhou Tong finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang began trembling all over, as if he'd been struck by Heaven Lightning.
"You... you!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned as white as paper. His trembling finger pointed at Zhou Tong as he let out a strangled roar, as though someone had seized him by the throat.
He immediately remembered those scenes of Zhou Tong shocking him and leaving him impotent.
"Pfft!"
In an instant, Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of blood. His vision went dark, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
He glared at Zhou Tong, hatred practically dripping from his eyes. He wanted nothing more than to tear him apart and swallow him whole.
"Grandmaster!"
Tang San's expression changed in alarm as he caught Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San didn't know what a manual removal operation was, but seeing Yu Xiaogang react so violently, he could tell it was some kind of humiliation.
Zhou Tong's lips curved slightly as he looked at Yu Xiaogang spitting blood and said coldly,
"Gangzi, you can't even take this little bit of pain?"
"Compared to the evil you've done, this is nothing."
"You're a degenerate who committed incest, yet you refuse to reflect on yourself and keep swindling people right in front of us. Did you think we were Tang San?"
"Gangzi, if you don't have the ability, stop bragging about being a master of theory."
"You're not the greatest theoretician on the mainland. You're the most useless one!"
"Argh—!"
The provocation completely drove Yu Xiaogang out of his mind.
Hatred, shame, and fear twisted together, and he roared like a wild beast.
Then, his eyes bloodshot, Yu Xiaogang lunged at Zhou Tong like a madman. His Soul Power churned wildly, as if he meant for them both to die together.
"Kid, I'll kill you!"
Yu Xiaogang struggled with all his might, panting heavily, his eyes scarlet and spittle flying. He'd lost every trace of his usual arrogant posturing.
Tang San couldn't hold him back, no matter how hard he tried.
Watching Yu Xiaogang charge at him like a madman, Zhou Tong gave a cold laugh. A streak of purplish-gold lightning appeared at his fingertip and shot toward Yu Xiaogang.
The next moment, Yu Xiaogang was struck by the lightning. His body convulsed, and after a bout of violent twitching, smoke poured from his throat before he collapsed to the ground.
"Zhou Tong, nicely done!"
Dugu Yan smiled as she watched Yu Xiaogang's body belch black smoke, his hair blasted into a tangled mess.
She'd been fed up with this Gangzi for ages.
She'd just been too busy absorbing her Soul Ring to deal with him.
Now, seeing Yu Xiaogang lying there in such a miserable state, Tang San was dumbstruck.
He swallowed the famous words, "You have a death wish," and only dared mutter them to himself.
After all, if he showed even the slightest sign of resistance, Zhou Tong might treat him the way he'd just treated Yu Xiaogang.
He didn't want to be beaten senseless on the spot like Yu Xiaogang.
"Take this fraud and get out of here!"
Zhou Tong's gaze was icy as he spoke.
Tang San's face flushed red. He panted heavily, clearly furious, but didn't dare act on it and could only swallow his anger.
The next moment, he took Yu Xiaogang with him and fled without looking back.
"Not bad, brat. You did well."
"As my disciple, you need to have the power of thunder at your fingertips."
"Only then will those petty villains fear you."
"Still, you're a little too softhearted."
"If I'd made a move, neither of them would have gotten away."
Dugu Bo spoke coldly.
"Teacher, those two aren't strong, but they like to provoke people. They make pretty good whetstones."
Zhou Tong said with a smile.
He knew Tang San's background was far too powerful. If he killed him, Tang Hao would surely fly into a rage.
Besides, the Asura God was backing Tang Biesan. Even if Tang San died, the god might find a way to bring him back to life.
Killing him wouldn't accomplish much. Better to keep him around and slowly reap his fortune.
