Tang San knelt on the ground, desperately circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill in an attempt to break free from the control.
But it was all to no avail!
Humiliation.
Utter, absolute humiliation.
The surrounding students came to their senses and burst into laughter as they looked at Tang San.
"Hahaha! You're killing me! With such a grand display, I thought he was actually something special!"
"That sliding kneel is even more textbook than last time; he truly is the disciple of a 'master theorist'!"
"Is this all a century-old spirit ring is good for? Just for kowtowing to others?"
The mocking laughter pierced Tang San's heart like knives.
His eyes bloodshot, he looked at Su Chen, breathing as heavily as an ox!
A path to death!!!
Everyone here is on a path to death!!!
"Su Chen! You despicable villain who only knows how to use underhanded tricks! If you have the guts, lift this sorcery, and I, Tang San, will show you what real strength is! You have already embarked on a path to death!"
"Sure, I can let you go, but before that, I have something good I'd like everyone to enjoy."
He pulled the memory crystal from his pocket.
"This is a special spirit tool that can record events as they happen."
Controlling Tang San with his right hand, he held the memory crystal high above his head with his left and announced loudly.
"Fellow students, Tang San has always touted his master, Yu Xiaogang, as a master theorist. Coincidentally, I happened to record some precious footage of the master personally guiding a lesson in the Soul Hunting Forest a few days ago. Would everyone like to see it?"
Beside them, Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes, her face full of curiosity.
Hasn't Su Chen been at the academy the whole time? When did he go to record Tang San hunting for a spirit ring?
"We want to see!" Wang Sheng led the jeering.
Kneeling on the ground, Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and an extremely ominous premonition washed over his entire body.
Su Chen injected a wisp of spirit power into the memory crystal.
The crystal shone brilliantly, projecting a clear virtual image into the air.
The scene showed a dim, dark forest.
The corpse of a massive Mandala Snake lay to the side.
Yu Xiaogang lay in a pool of blood, his lower garments shredded into rags, and that charred, festering, unspeakable area was displayed with crystal clarity on the large projection.
In the footage, Yu Xiaogang's features were twisted as he let out a desperate, guttural roar.
"The poison has entered my body... if I don't cut it off... I will die."
"Cut it off... save my life!"
"For your future... for my theories... I cannot die! Do it!"
Immediately after, the Tang San in the footage gripped a short blade, his face filled with tragic resolve.
His hand rose and fell.
"Squelch!"
A lump of charred, rotten flesh flew out of the frame.
Accompanied by a blood-curdling, eunuch-like shriek from Yu Xiaogang, the image abruptly cut to black.
The training ground fell deathly silent.
Everyone's eyes were wide, their mouths agape enough to fit a fist inside.
Xiao Wu covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers, her face flushed bright red.
After a few seconds of dead silence.
The entire scene completely erupted!
"That trash master cut off his own manhood?!"
"It was Tang San who cut it! He personally castrated his own master!"
"Too ruthless! Betraying his master and ancestors!!"
Listening to the piercing insults of "eunuch disciple" and "betrayer of his master" echoing all around him.
Tang San knelt on the ground, his complexion shifting from red to white, white to green, and finally to the color of a pig's liver.
He couldn't even begin to think about how Su Chen had found out about this.
Now, only one thought remained in his mind.
It's over!
The fact that Teacher has become a eunuch has been exposed!
The news that his mentor, whom he held in such high esteem, had been castrated was now public knowledge!
"Su Chen, you traitor, you villain..."
"Pfft!"
Overcome with rage and heart-stricken, Tang San spat out a large mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes back, and fainted on the spot.
Su Chen sheathed his long sword.
Losing his support, Tang San collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.
In Su Chen's mind, the system notifications rang out like a rapid-fire barrage.
Ding! Detected that Tang San's Dao heart is damaged, triggering a high-level abstract event! Obtained Abstract Points: 5000!
The system's announcement put Su Chen in a great mood.
He nudged the unconscious Tang San with his foot and turned to look at Wang Sheng.
"Find two people and send little San back to that eunuch master of his."
"You got it, Boss!" Wang Sheng trotted off to call two work-study students, who hoisted Tang San by his arms and legs and dragged him away.
Su Chen lay back down on his rattan chair.
Xiao Wu leaned in, her large eyes filled with curiosity.
"Su Chen, was that image real? Did that master really become a eunuch?"
Su Chen opened his mouth to accept the grape Xiao Wu offered him.
"Truer than real gold. Stay away from that master and disciple in the future; one is a eunuch, and the other is the one who cut him—neither of them is mentally sound."
Xiao Wu nodded in deep agreement and silently scooted her chair closer to Su Chen.
Su Chen closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the system panel.
Looking at the abstract points balance that had soared to over ten thousand, he began to ponder.
Should he save these points for some high-level entertainment, or should he browse the shop for items that would help this master-disciple pair continue to shine and provide more amusement?
Meanwhile.
Hidden in the shadows, Tang Hao could no longer suppress his fury.
Having witnessed his own son suffer such humiliation, vomiting blood and collapsing to the ground, he longed to grab his Clear Sky Hammer right then and there and smash that arrogant brat into a pulp!
This boy's methods were wicked; he could not be left alive!
Tang Hao took one last deep look at Su Chen before slowly vanishing into the darkness.
Inside Yu Xiaogang's office.
Yu Xiaogang was currently fantasizing about Tang San crippling Su Chen.
A look of morbid pleasure appeared on his face.
Suddenly!
A chilling gust of wind swept through.
A figure in a black robe stood by his bedside.
"Who is it!!"
Yu Xiaogang was startled. As he twisted his body, he aggravated the injuries in his lower regions, causing him to let out a sharp cry of pain.
Enduring the agony, Yu Xiaogang looked at the man in black and asked, "Who... who are you?"
"Master, it has been a long time!"
The man in the black robe removed his hood, revealing a weathered face.
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen each other in over twenty years. No wonder you didn't recognize me in this state."
Yu Xiaogang stopped twitching and stared at the visitor in shock: "Tang... Clear Sky Douluo!"
Tang Hao sat casually on a chair, pulled the gourd from his waist, and began to chug wine.
Yu Xiaogang regained his composure, looking at Tang Hao with complex eyes.
His idol had actually fallen into such a wretched state.
"I knew he was your child the moment I saw little San's second spirit."
"Thank you for taking care of little San, but my identity must remain a secret. Do not tell him."
Yu Xiaogang nodded: "I understand. After all, Spirit Hall..."
Tang Hao's gaze drifted downward, sweeping across the crotch of Yu Xiaogang's pants, which were covered by a thin quilt.
He had followed them through the Soul Hunting Forest and seen everything clearly, yet he had chosen not to intervene.
As the hope for his revenge, how could Tang Hao possibly allow his son to follow a twenty-ninth-level Great Spirit Master to hunt spirit beasts?
As for why he hadn't intervened, it was naturally because Tang Hao had overheard Tang San say that a teacher for a day is a father for life.
What kind of status was that? A mere Great Spirit Master was unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him, Tang Hao.
Therefore, he was more than happy to let Yu Xiaogang suffer a little.
As long as the man didn't die and taught Tang San well, that was enough.
Tang Hao pulled a token from his robes and tossed it to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang caught it and took a look.
On the golden token, six types of martial spirits were clearly engraved!
The Pope Token!
Before Yu Xiaogang could react, Tang Hao placed his hand on Yu Xiaogang's shoulder. With a surge of spirit power, he forcefully expelled all the residual Mandala Snake venom from Yu Xiaogang's body and sealed the wound.
At this moment, no matter how thick-skinned Yu Xiaogang was, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
However, feeling the pain in his body diminish significantly, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly bowed his head in gratitude: "Many thanks to His Excellency Haotian for your life-saving intervention!"
Before long, Tang Hao withdrew his hand.
He waved it dismissively: "I will personally deal with that brat who used a strange spirit skill to injure Tang San."
"Remember my words: teach Tang San well. Also, remember to let Tang San spend more time with that girl named Xiao Wu."
Before the words had even faded, Tang Hao's figure had vanished from the room like a ghost.
Yu Xiaogang bowed excitedly toward the empty air.
With the protection of Clear Sky Douluo, he instantly felt that his future was once again filled with hope.
As long as Tang San became a Titled Douluo in the future, the title of "Grandmaster" could truly resound throughout the spirit master world.
Lost in his beautiful dreams, he did not yet know that the scene of him becoming a physical eunuch had already spread throughout the entire Notting Academy today!
