After making up their minds, everyone got busy preparing for their departure the next day.

Meanwhile, Tang San returned to Notting Academy in a foul mood.

Although he had already graduated from Notting Academy, he still lived in the academy dormitories with his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

After returning to the dormitory, he sat down in a chair with a dark expression, not even sparing Yu Xiaogang a glance.

Whenever he recalled Huang Long calling the Tang Sect's hidden weapons low-class trash and wicked, crooked methods, he felt so furious he could explode!

"Xiao San, you're back?"

"How did things go with Xiao Wu? Is she willing to go to Shrek Academy with you?"

Yu Xiaogang walked out of the study.

His dormitory was among the best in all of Notting Academy, second only to the headmaster's.

Yet after he finished speaking, he received no response from Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, displeased that his disciple was ignoring him.

"Xiao San, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"

Only then did Tang San snap out of his thoughts.

He turned to glance at Yu Xiaogang and apologized in a low voice, "Sorry, Teacher. I was thinking about something just now."

"What happened?" Yu Xiaogang approached with his hands behind his back and asked from above him.

Tang San hesitated for a moment before recounting everything that had happened at Xiao Wu's place.

Naturally, he left out the part about launching a sneak attack and using poison.

After finishing, he looked up in confusion. "Teacher, do you think I was wrong? I only wanted to protect Xiao Wu!"

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly after hearing him out.

Dragon God? Why did that name sound so strange?

But never mind. Since his disciple had been bullied, then as his teacher, he naturally had to stand up for him!

"You did nothing wrong. This is exactly what one should do to protect the person they want to protect."

"As for those people... hmph! How dare they humiliate my, Yu Xiaogang's, disciple like this!"

As he spoke, he bent down, grabbed Tang San's wrist, and pulled him up from the chair.

"Come on. Your teacher will demand an explanation for you!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang so angry, even willing to stand up for him, Tang San was immediately overwhelmed with emotion.

But when he remembered that Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo were both Titled Douluo, his movements stiffened.

"Forget it, Teacher. There are two Titled Douluo among them. We're no match for them."

"W-What? T-Titled Douluo!"

The moment Yu Xiaogang heard that the other side consisted of Titled Douluo, his legs went weak with fright, and he nearly collapsed to the floor.

Tang San hurriedly reached out to support him. "Teacher, are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine."

Yu Xiaogang's mouth twitched slightly as he hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, are they really Titled Douluo?"

It was not that he did not believe him, but what could possibly be worth a Titled Douluo's visit to a place like Notting City?

Yet when Tang San nodded in confirmation, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

But... were they really just going to let this go?

Wouldn't the imposing manner he had just put on before Tang San, saying he would stand up for his disciple, become a complete joke?

How would Xiao San view him afterward?

And how would he ever complete his theories?

No!

They could not let this go!

So what if they were Titled Douluo? I, Yu Xiaogang, am the great master of martial soul theory on Douluo Continent. They couldn't possibly refuse to reason with me, could they?

Besides, Xiao San's father was the Clear Sky Douluo. What did he have to fear?

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and straightened his back.

"Xiao San, let's go! Your teacher will take you there to reason with them!"

"So what if they're Titled Douluo? Your teacher can still get justice for you!"

With that, he pulled Tang San out of the dormitory.

Looking at that imposing back, Tang San felt warmth fill his heart.

As expected of his teacher. Even in the face of Titled Douluo, he showed no fear at all.

What had I, Tang San, done to deserve having such a master as my teacher?

Having thought it through, Tang San decided not to back down anymore. He followed Yu Xiaogang and headed furiously toward Xiao Wu's home.

Meanwhile.

At Xiao Wu's home.

Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo had both gone out to buy food, leaving only Huang Long and Xiao Wu in the courtyard.

Xiao Wu was clinging to Huang Long's side, asking curiously where he had lived over the past six years.

Huang Long did not hide anything and told Xiao Wu all about the six years he had spent on Sea God Island.

Only then did Xiao Wu understand why Lord Di Tian and the others had searched for the Dragon God for a full six years without finding him.

So Lord Dragon God had been out at sea!

However, just as she was about to ask for more details, she heard a knock at the door.

Xiao Wu froze, then turned toward the courtyard gate and scratched her head in confusion.

"Didn't Uncle Sea Dragon and the others just leave? Why are they back so soon?"

Huang Long frowned slightly and rose to his feet. "Go take a look. I'm afraid whoever it is hasn't come with good intentions."

Xiao Wu nodded lightly and cautiously went to open the courtyard gate.

The instant the gate opened and she saw who stood outside, she froze on the spot.

The visitors were Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, still putting on the airs of a master. "Xiao Wu, I heard everything from Xiao San. He came to see you earlier, but something rather unpleasant happened."

As he spoke, he secretly surveyed the courtyard.

He had originally wanted to see where the two Titled Douluos were, but all he saw was Huang Long.

So the two Titled Douluos Xiao San mentioned were not here?

Yu Xiaogang was instantly delighted and immediately put on a stern face. "Xiao Wu, I really must criticize you for this."

"Since you and Xiao San are good friends and classmates at the same academy, when you saw your classmate being bullied, not only did you refuse to help, you even joined outsiders in bullying him?"

Xiao Wu was completely dumbfounded. She pointed at herself and stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing her stunned expression, Yu Xiaogang thought he had intimidated her. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smug smile.

As long as those two Titled Douluos were absent, they were just two children. Wouldn't he be able to handle them easily?

"Xiao Wu, you need to reflect on this properly."

As he spoke, he walked straight past Xiao Wu and headed directly toward Huang Long.

So this was the person called Dragon God?

His appearance and attire both carried the air unique to the children of aristocratic clans.

That only further convinced Yu Xiaogang that this person's background was anything but ordinary.

But what did it matter how powerful his background was? He was Yu Xiaogang, the great martial soul theory master of Douluo Continent!

"You're Dragon God?"

The moment he spoke, however, Xiao Wu and Huang Long nearly burst out laughing.

Xiao Wu laughed loudly. "Master, what kind of name is that? Dragon God is how I address my lord. His real name is Huang Long."

"Tang San, did you bring him here to tell us jokes?" Huang Long asked with a smile as well.

"Impudent!"

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened as he roared.

"Boy, perhaps you've never heard the name Yu Xiaogang, but haven't the elders in your family told you who I am?"

"Now I'll give you a choice: apologize to Xiao San."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for using my seniority to bully the young."

Huang Long paused in surprise upon hearing this.

But in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, that pause was a sign that Huang Long feared him.

His heart began to swell with pride. He had not expected the name Yu Xiaogang to work so well!

Yet before he could gloat for long, Huang Long let out a snort of laughter.

"Yu Xiaogang? I've heard of you—the self-proclaimed martial soul theory master of Douluo Continent."

"In reality, you're a piece of trash who only broke through to rank twenty-nine at the age of fifty."

"Sorry, my elders really never mentioned you. After all, trash like you isn't even worthy of my teacher's attention."

"You... how dare you!"

Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned the color of liver with rage.

Especially that line about being trash who only broke through to rank twenty-nine at fifty—it was like a knife stabbing straight into his heart!
