"Tang San, what do you mean by this?! It would have been bad enough if you'd attacked my friend for no reason, but you even used poison!"
Xiao Wu was instantly furious.
She had not even dared imagine what she would have said to Huang Long if that arrow had truly hit Sea Maiden Douluo.
Sea Dragon Douluo looked coldly at Tang San.
He truly had not expected that this child, who looked about the same age as the Holy Son, would have such a vicious heart!
Just as he thought, not a single soul master from the mainland was a good person!
"I... Xiao Wu, you misunderstand. I only..."
Tang San immediately panicked.
His earlier attempt to take someone as his little sister had already made Xiao Wu dislike him.
He did not want this matter to cause a complete break between them.
But Xiao Wu did not wait for any explanation. Pointing at Sea Maiden Douluo, she said, "You don't misunderstand anything. Apologize to Sister Sea Maiden right now!"
"Otherwise, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life!"
Tang San choked, his expression turning incomparably ugly.
Apologize?
A dignified Tang Sect expert like him had to apologize to some native?
And in front of Xiao Wu, no less.
Where would he put his pride then?
So when he heard the word "apologize," his first reaction was resistance.
But after hearing Xiao Wu's final words, his expression changed dramatically.
Should he apologize?
He glanced at Sea Maiden Douluo, Huang Long, Sea Dragon Douluo, and the others, quietly clenching his fists.
Under Xiao Wu's urging, he had no choice but to cup his hands together and bow. "I'm sorry! I was wrong."
"I shouldn't have acted before understanding the situation, nor should I have coated the arrowhead with poison."
"Please forgive this junior's offense, Senior..."
As Tang San forced those words out, his voice was almost inaudible, but his fists were clenched tightly.
Though he admitted his fault verbally, there was not the slightest remorse in his eyes.
He even secretly blamed Huang Long for bringing this up at all, causing him to lose all face.
But Xiao Wu did not notice the hatred in his gaze.
After seeing Tang San apologize, she turned to Huang Long and Sea Maiden Douluo. "Lord Dragon God, Sister Sea Maiden, is this enough?"
"If it isn't, you can decide how else to punish him."
Neither Sea Maiden Douluo nor Sea Dragon Douluo spoke. They waited for Huang Long's decision.
Huang Long glanced at Tang San and waved his hand. "Let it go this time. Don't use such lowly tricks again."
"Xiao Wu said you're a student of Notting Academy, so I assume you're a soul master as well."
"Soul masters should be more open and honorable with one another. Stop using crooked methods to harm people."
With that, he raised his hand and tossed the sleeve arrow at Tang San's feet.
Tang San's pupils contracted slightly at those words, and he looked up at Huang Long in fury.
He had endured what happened earlier.
But this man had actually called his Tang Sect hidden weapons crooked methods and lowly tricks. How could he possibly tolerate that?
He had always taken pride in being a Tang Sect disciple, and in the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
Huang Long's words directly enraged him.
But when he noticed Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo both focusing their gazes on him, he had no choice but to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart.
A gentleman's revenge was never too late, even after ten years.
You dared insult my Tang Sect hidden weapons. You have already earned your death!
He gritted his teeth viciously and bent down to pick up the sleeve arrow.
Xiao Wu waved her hand at that moment. "Tang San, if there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. I still need to get ready to go have fun with Lord Dragon God."
Tang San silently put the sleeve arrow into his pocket, let out a deep breath, and tried his best to keep his voice calm.
He said, "Xiao Wu, there's something Teacher asked me to ask you."
"He said he found a very good advanced soul master academy for the two of us, called Shrek Academy."
"It's an academy that only accepts monsters. Not only does it have a Soul Sage in residence, but it also has abundant cultivation resources."
"So Teacher sent me to ask whether you want to go to Shrek Academy?"
Xiao Wu scratched her head. "Shrek Academy, the academy that only accepts monsters?"
It sounded pretty intimidating.
And it even had a Soul Sage in charge.
Before, she might have chosen to go there directly.
After all, a Soul Sage would not be able to see through her hundred-thousand-year soul beast transformation. Joining such an advanced soul master academy would also make her much safer.
But now, she had Lord Dragon God by her side, as well as Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo, two human Titled Douluo.
Even if she encountered a Titled Douluo who wanted her soul ring and soul bone, Lord Dragon God surely would not stand by and do nothing, right?
So, she did not really want to go.
But she still had to ask Lord Dragon God first.
Thinking this, Xiao Wu impatiently waved Tang San away. "I understand. You can leave first. Let me discuss it with Lord Dragon God."
"I'll tell you whether I'm going after we've discussed it."
At her words, Tang San's face immediately darkened like the bottom of a pot.
Just who was this Dragon God person? What gave him the right to have Xiao Wu call him her lord?
And why did Xiao Wu need to discuss it with him, yet chase Tang San away?
Could the bond they had built over six years at Notting Academy really not compare to a friend she had only known for a few days?
But he could not say it outright.
He was afraid Xiao Wu would truly stop speaking to him.
So he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the frustration and rage inside him.
"Xiao Wu, then take your time thinking..."
Having said that, he seemed to want to add something, but after thinking it over, he swallowed the words back down.
"I'll come see you again in a few days."
In the end, he left only those words before turning and walking away in a miserable state.
After watching him leave, Sea Dragon Douluo immediately said to Huang Long, "Holy Son, this man is vicious and ruthless. He is most likely the sort who holds grudges over the smallest slights. We must be careful from now on."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu could not help nodding repeatedly in agreement.
"That's right, Lord Dragon God. Tang San was moody all day long at Notting Academy."
"And whenever anyone said even one bad word about his teacher, he would attack them. As a result, he had very few friends in the entire academy."
"It's fine. I'll deal with someone like that personally." A faint smile curled at the corners of Huang Long's lips.
He wanted to see whether Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Technique and Clear Sky Hammer were stronger, or his Yinglong was stronger.
Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo said nothing further upon hearing this.
But Xiao Wu asked, "Then, Lord Dragon God, should we go to that Shrek Academy Tang San mentioned?"
Huang Long replied with a smile, "Of course we're going. Why wouldn't we?"
"I haven't joined an advanced soul master academy yet, so I'll go with you and take a look at this Shrek Academy."
"We'll treat it as a bit of training."
As he spoke, he paused, raised a hand to stroke his chin, and said, "But Shrek Academy won't open for another three months. Wouldn't those three months be terribly boring?"
"How about..."
His gaze swept over Xiao Wu, Sea Dragon Douluo, and Sea Maiden Douluo, and he smiled. "How about we go take a look around Heaven Dou City first?"
"I know a good place there. It has lots of treasures."
The moment Xiao Wu heard there were treasures, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Lord Dragon God, what place is it?"
Huang Long glanced at her and smiled. "You'll know once we get there! Rest today. We leave tomorrow!"
