I Almost Lost My Backer Again

Heaven Dou City, Monster Academy.

Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others had returned to the Monster Academy to continue their training. For the past month, Tang San had been in a terrible mood. Even though he had been training desperately, he always felt that it was far from enough, and that he was capable of much more than he had ever been.

Of course, the only good news was that he had survived and had a Title Douluo as his backer.

However... Tang San originally wanted to Tang Xiao to let him go to the Clear Sky Sect to study, since the learning environment of the Clear Sky Sect was definitely better than that of the Monster Academy, and the cultivation resources were certainly more abundant, but Tang Xiao refused.

The reason is simple: there are still many people in the Clear Sky Sect who harbor resentment towards Tang Hao Tang Hao, and some have even lost their lives because of him.

Therefore, most people in the Clear Sky Sect have the same attitude towards Tang San as they do towards Yang Wudi. If Tang San were to fall into their hands, it would be no better than if he were to fall into Yang Wudi's hands.

"Going back now will probably only cause more trouble."

When Tang San heard these words, his heart sank.

He naturally knew about what Tang Hao had done at the Clear Sky Sect back then, but he never expected things to get this serious.

His identity as the son of Clear Sky Douluo was less useful in the Clear Sky Sect than a roadside stone.

Tang Xiao also said something that made Tang San even more flustered.

"Your aunt and I discussed this before, about going to the Shrek Academy in Suotuo City to redeem your father."

"The other party gave two conditions."

"The first condition is to provide seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Tang San was completely stunned when he heard this condition.

Seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

Seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone mean seven Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast. It should be noted that even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a top-tier sect and arguably the wealthiest in the world, does not possess seven 100,000-year Soul Bone.

Besides, even if it were just one piece, even if the Clear Sky Sect truly possessed it, they would absolutely never give it away.

It's important to understand that a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast Soul Bone involves numerous vested interests, and it's absolutely impossible to exchange it for a sinner.

Of course, Tang Hao does possess a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone, but it's still far inferior to seven soul bones.

Tang Xiao quickly stated Shrek Academy's second condition.

"The second condition... is that I can have a one-on-one fight with a Contra Soul Douluo named Wu Zhangkong."

"If I win, I can take your father away directly."

"Even if I lose, I'll have to stay there."

When Tang San heard these words, his heart tightened, and he quickly spoke up to stop them.

"Uncle! You absolutely must not agree to this condition!"

Tang Xiao looked at Tang San's nervous appearance and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"San, what are you doing? I'm a Title Douluo, how could I possibly lose to a Soul Douluo?"

Tang San couldn't help but give a wry smile at this moment, and then explained to Tang Xiao.

"Uncle, I know you are a Title Douluo and have accumulated experience at this level for many years, but Shrek Academy really cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

"They have something called Battle Armor, which can directly boost Soul Master's combat power by several levels, and can even raise Soul King's combat power to the Soul Sage level."

"Uncle, do you really think they'd send just an ordinary Soul Douluo to fight you?"

When Tang Xiao heard this, his expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.

"Could it be that the armor can directly elevate a Soul Douluo to a Title Douluo?"

Tang San looked at Tang Xiao and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Uncle, I think it's really possible."

Tang Xiao stood there in silence for a long time, but in the end he listened to Tang San and did not accept the challenge.

He naturally wanted to rescue his brother Tang Hao, but Tang San's words did indeed make sense.

Since Shrek Academy dared to make such a demand, it means they were absolutely certain of success.

If he's not careful, he might not only fail to rescue Tang Hao, but he might also get himself killed.

Wouldn't that be an even bigger loss?

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tang Xiao had given up on that plan.

He had finally found a powerful backer at the Title Douluo level, and it was even his uncle. If he were to lose him like this, he would truly suffer a huge loss.

Moreover, if Tang Xiao, as the Clear Sky Sect, were also imprisoned in the Shrek Academy, and were discovered by the Clear Sky Sect, he would likely face a sect-wide manhunt.

That would be a huge problem.

Tang San no longer believes that the people of the Clear Sky Sect are fools who would abandon a mere Soul Elder to fight Shrek Academy.

Unless they were completely unaware of the Shrek Academy, with Tang Xiao present, even though the Clear Sky Sect had been in seclusion for many years, they should still know that such a behemoth existed on the Douluo Continent.

Moreover... Tang San still wanted to turn the Clear Sky Sect into his own fighting force, and he didn't want the Clear Sky Sect to suffer any losses. After all, his uncle was the sect leader of the Clear Sky Clear Sky Sect, and also the son of the previous Clear Sky Sect leader. It was not impossible for them to turn hostility into friendship.

Tang San has now learned his lesson.

The losses suffered by Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Yang Wudi Well have made him clearly realize that most good things in this world are traps.

Before he possessed absolute strength, Tang San would absolutely not allow himself to have any further conflict with the Shrek Academy, nor would he agree to any bets made by the Shrek Academy.

Therefore, he had no choice but to temporarily return to the Monster Academy to continue his training.

Fortunately, although Tang Xiao couldn't take him back to the Clear Sky Sect, he would occasionally come over from the Clear Sky Sect to bring Tang San some cultivation resources and also guide his cultivation.

However, the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect were never passed on to Tang San.

After all, Tang San is not currently considered a member of the Clear Sky Sect, a fact that even Tang Xiao is powerless to change.

Tang San didn't insist, knowing that these things couldn't be rushed.

For the past month or so, the members of the Monster Academy have also been busy. They have been going to the Soul Fighting Arena in Heaven Dou City from time to time to compete and earn some Gold Soul Coin to buy cultivation resources.

Fortunately, the people from the Shrek Academy did not participate in this Soul Fighting Arena Competition, otherwise they wouldn't even have these resources.

Tang San cultivated desperately, with only one thought in his mind: he wanted to break through to level 40 as soon as possible.

Only by breaking through to level 40 can he once again venture into Sunset Forest, seeking that glimmer of hope to become stronger.
