Clear Sky Douluo Frightens Yu Xiaogang to His Knees, Even Tang Hao Couldn't Stand the Cowardly Grandmaster

Thinking this, Tang San pretended not to know Tang Hao was nearby and continued chatting with Xiao Wu for a while.

After saying goodbye to Wang Sheng and the other two, Tang San left with Xiao Wu.

Of course, Tang San was not taking Xiao Wu back to the academy at this time. He was taking her back to Holy Soul Village with him, as they had agreed before.

Once the academy went on break, Xiao Wu would have nowhere to go.

There was little to say about the journey. After Tang San and Xiao Wu boarded the carriage back to Holy Soul Village, Xiao Wu clung tightly to his chest.

Now that the initial Anti-Routine System mission was over, Tang San could naturally be somewhat intimate with Xiao Wu. However, crossing the line was still out of the question. He intended to save his most precious first time for Qian Renxue.

Tang San had also already decided how to handle his relationship with Xiao Wu. He would acknowledge her as his little sister, and even if Xiao Wu confessed to him, he would not accept.

He could keep her hanging with excuses like, "I don't want to date for now. I want to focus on cultivation," and let her remain his little sister.

Naturally, there were plenty of reasons he could use.

Notting City Primary Academy...

On the night Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to Holy Soul Village, the battered and bruised Yu Xiaogang was still in his room, wrapped in bandages. His nose was now heavily bandaged, making him look like a complete idiot.

"That little rabbit beside Tang San really had no sense of restraint. She actually kicked my Yu Xiaogang's... It still hurts now... And she even stepped on my crew cut..."

Yu Xiaogang, wrapped in bandages, rubbed his leg and then his crew cut as he grumbled endlessly. Just then, the door to his room burst open with a bang.

Yu Xiaogang was startled. He widened his old eyes and looked sharply toward the door, only to see a man in a black robe with disheveled hair enter the room.

The man's face was covered in stubble, and his eyes were filled with the weariness of time.

"Who are you?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly grew nervous without realizing it. He sensed a terrifying aura from this man, one that made even his bandaged hands tremble faintly.

"Grandmaster, it has been a long time. It really is you."

The newcomer stared at the bruised and swollen Yu Xiaogang with those weathered eyes.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly rose to his feet and shakily bowed to the gray-robed man before him, asking in confusion.

"You know me, but I have never seen you... May I ask your name...?"

"My name is Tang Hao..."

That was right. The man standing before Yu Xiaogang was Tang Hao. But he had not come to thank Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, because he knew his son, Tang San, had not taken this Grandmaster as his teacher. Instead, this Grandmaster had been pestering his son, Tang San, all along.

"Tang Hao..."

Yu Xiaogang froze for several seconds. Then, as a vague memory surfaced in his mind, his old eyes suddenly widened. He staggered back a step, his already unsteady legs trembling as he fell flat onto his backside.

"You... you... You're actually... Clear Sky..."

Sitting on the floor with bandages wrapped around his old face, Yu Xiaogang stared at the man before him in utter shock. Yet disappointment appeared on the man's face.

"It seems my son Little Third was right about you. The Grandmaster you are now is truly unfit to be his teacher... Come to think of it, we met a few times back then. I remember that although many people called you a madman, you were not as cowardly as you are now. You seem to have fallen far indeed... The name Golden Triangle has also not appeared in the Soul Master World for a long time."

Hearing the man call him cowardly, Yu Xiaogang, sitting on the floor, did not dare show the slightest dissatisfaction. To suppress the fear in his heart, he could only shakily raise a hand to touch his crew cut and say with a guilty expression.

"After that incident, I suffered a devastating blow. From then on, I withdrew from the Soul Master World and became a clown mooching off an academy. It is because I, Yu Xiaogang, am incompetent that I have made a fool of myself before Clear Sky Crown... If I had known Tang San was your son, I would never have dared to pester him, even if you beat me to death."

"...I hope Clear Sky Crown, in your boundless magnanimity, can forgive this half-dead old man for disturbing Tang San before..."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang actually bent his knees tremblingly, preparing to kowtow and beg forgiveness from the man before him.

"Enough..."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's cowardly state, even Tang Hao could barely stand it.

Tang Hao gave Yu Xiaogang a stern look and said.

"Do you think that in your current dispirited state... you are worthy of making me attack you? Unless all of your Golden Triangle were here, you would at least be worth warming up against. I only came to tell you this: since my son Little Third does not acknowledge your theories, there is no need for you to keep pestering him. He has his own path to walk... You should hurry and find a disciple suited to you. Do you intend to remain a clown who cannot hold his head up for the rest of your life?"

"A clown..."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. He lay on the floor, staring with his old eyes wide open. When he raised his head again, however, he discovered that the man before him had already vanished.

"Clear Sky Crown... Clear Sky Crown..."

Yu Xiaogang called out tentatively several times. Only after receiving no response did he finally let out a long breath, plopping back down onto the floor. He touched his crew cut while pondering his failed life.

"Since Clear Sky Crown has said so, I absolutely cannot set my sights on Tang San again... But if that is the case, how can I, Yu Xiaogang, ever rise again?"

"Is this truly all my life will amount to?"

Thinking of what that Clear Sky Douluo had said earlier, Yu Xiaogang kept questioning himself inwardly.

"No... I, Yu Xiaogang, cannot remain this cowardly any longer. Even Clear Sky Crown is trying to inspire me, urging me to revive my ambitions from back then... I, Yu Xiaogang, will stand up. I will leave Notting Academy. I will find a disciple who truly acknowledges my theories. I will take him to Shrek Academy. I will make the future Tang San understand that I, Yu Xiaogang, am the greatest teacher in the world. I will make Tang San regret never becoming my disciple..."

Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang felt his blood boil. After a long while, he finally shakily climbed to his feet from the floor.

After Tang San refused to become the Grandmaster's Personal Disciple, what happened today could be considered a turning point in the Grandmaster's life. Afterward, he left Notting Academy and really did find a child with a Blue Silver Grass Spirit to become his Personal Disciple.

Why did he choose a child with a Blue Silver Grass Spirit? Because Yu Xiaogang wanted to prove that he could train a useless spirit into an outstanding soul master. He also wanted to prove that he was the teacher best suited for Tang San.

Unfortunately, the Grandmaster did not know that Tang San's original spirit was not Blue Silver Grass, but the noble Blue Silver Emperor.

Thus, the child with the Blue Silver Grass Spirit who became Yu Xiaogang's Personal Disciple also grew up harboring deep hostility toward Tang San, who had once rejected his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

Some might ask: wasn't Blue Silver Grass a useless spirit? Aside from Tang San, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power, could children who awakened a useless spirit also possess Soul Power?

Of course they could. Blue Silver Grass was, after all, the most common commoner spirit on Douluo Continent. Ordinary Blue Silver Grass could not possibly possess Innate Full Soul Power, but among countless children, there would occasionally still be a few who awakened a Blue Silver Grass Spirit and possessed Soul Power.

As for how that child was found by Yu Xiaogang and accepted as his Personal Disciple, that was naturally a matter for later.

PS: Yu Xiaogang finding a new disciple in the future had actually been arranged by the Anti-Routine System, all so Tang San could better defy expectations and brutally crush Yu Xiaogang and his disciple with new Blue Silver Emperor Soul Skills...

As Yu Xiaogang's new disciple, he was naturally quite an oddball. Under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, he cultivated soul skills such as Blue Silver Grass, Entanglement, and Ghost Vine Parasitism. But Blue Silver Grass was Blue Silver Grass in the end. How could it possibly contend against the Blue Silver Emperor...

Second update, please bookmark...

Tang San will not join Shrek Academy in this book. The plot will be endlessly exciting and not easily predictable. What comes next will be even more exciting...
