Elsewhere.
Excitement surged across Yu Xiaogang's weathered face. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he staggered several steps, nearly falling over.
Seeing this, Flender and Liu Erlong assumed Yu Xiaogang had been injured when Bibi Dong's attack shattered their martial soul fusion skill, Golden Saint Dragon, and hurried forward to support him.
"Xiaogang, are you all right?"
"Xiaogang, are you hurt?"
Flender and Liu Erlong asked with concern in their eyes.
Yet Yu Xiaogang paid them no attention at all. Instead, he stared fixedly at the title before Tang San's name.
Thousand Hands Douluo!
Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San.
On Douluo Continent, to receive such an honorific, one had to become a Titled Douluo above level 90 and obtain their ninth soul ring.
In other words, his Xiao San had become a Titled Douluo in the future.
Just as expected.
His invincible theories had not been wrong.
Only he could raise Blue Silver Grass, a martial soul recognized across the continent as worthless, to above level 90.
Only he could train Shrek Academy's team, whose average level had been forty, to the point where they could defeat Spirit Hall's Golden Generation despite the gap in strength.
And now, with this glory before him.
Yu Xiaogang was confident that no one in the future would surpass him in theoretical research.
"No, it's more than that!"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly shuddered.
According to the information revealed by the heavenly screen.
Since Tang Chuan and Tang San were counterparts from parallel worlds, with the same father, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, and the same mother, a woman named Ah Yin.
Didn't that mean Black World Tang Chuan's teacher was also him, Yu Xiaogang?!
At that thought.
Yu Xiaogang began trembling violently. His once-hunched back straightened a little further, and his voice brimmed with excitement and a faint sobbing tone. "I... I actually raised two Titled Douluo!"
If the timing had not been so inappropriate.
Yu Xiaogang truly wanted to throw back his head and roar, then prove to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Spirit Hall, and all those who looked down on him in secret.
That Yu Xiaogang was not trash.
That he had not disgraced his clan.
"Wow, Third Brother, the heavenly screen is actually going to show something about you? And you even became a Titled Douluo in the future?"
"Third Brother, you're my true big brother! Once you make it big, don't forget to take your brothers along for the ride!"
"Impressive, Xiao San. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
The Shrek Seven Monsters were equally stunned.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar immediately planned to cling tightly to Tang San's thigh, while Dai Mubai lightly bumped Tang San's shoulder with his fist and slung an arm around him.
Having just gone through the Soul Master Elite Tournament together, their bonds were at their strongest.
So when they learned that their good brother would become so formidable in the future, they were genuinely happy for him.
Yet beneath that joy, an almost imperceptible trace of envy and bitterness still arose in their hearts.
You weren't afraid of your brother having a hard life.
You were afraid of your brother driving a Range Rover.
Having a Titled Douluo father was one thing. Having a beautiful girl who was a hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast in love with you was also fine. But why were you yourself so damn amazing? Had you not considered how your brothers were supposed to live in the future?
After Dai Mubai bumped into him, Tang San finally came back to his senses.
Though he did not know why the heavenly screen had chosen him for comparison.
Tang San was immensely confident that he would never be inferior to that so-called counterpart from another world.
Because they were entirely different people.
That meant the other person did not possess the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, the two trump cards he kept hidden away.
Naturally, he could not cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique in advance and gain the advantage of innate full soul power.
Not to mention the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well tempering his body later on, allowing him to break convention with a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring.
Or leading a Soul Ancestor team to defeat the Spirit Hall Team, which had three Soul Kings, and claim the championship at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
With such an outstanding record and history.
Even if his other self could also become a Titled Douluo, Tang San firmly believed that at the same age, his achievements would leave the other far behind.
"Xiao Wu, did you see that? Third Brother became a Titled Douluo in the future! That means you'll definitely be all right today. That's wonderful."
Ning Rongrong excitedly hugged Xiao Wu. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually so composed, began breathing faster.
Compared to the boys' laughter and cheers, the girls' feelings were somewhat more complicated.
On one hand, Xiao Wu felt relieved to learn that Tang San would not face mortal danger before breaking through level 90. On the other, she feared that, as a soul beast, she might incur Tang Hao's dislike, causing him to prevent her from being with Tang San and perhaps even treat her as the latter's reserve soul ring.
Zhu Zhuqing hoped she could learn information related to herself from Tang San's future. After all, once the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament ended, she and Dai Mubai would return to the Star Luo Empire to take part in the brutal competition within the royal family. The uncertainty of her future had inevitably left her resolve somewhat tense.
While Ning Rongrong was excited, a hint of gloom also flashed through her eyes.
Among the Shrek Seven Monsters, Tang San had been the first person she had developed feelings for.
Although he looked ordinary and was not particularly handsome, the young lady, who was somewhat drawn to strength, had become curious about Tang San the first time she saw him use strange hidden weapon techniques to suppress Zhao Wuji, whose cultivation had been reduced to Soul Saint level.
After they spent a year together, that curiosity gradually became affection. Then Tang San gave her an immortal herb called the Qiluo Tulip, helping her martial soul evolve from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and fulfill the lifelong dream her father had never achieved. That intense affection instantly turned into admiration.
However, she knew very well how Tang San felt about Xiao Wu. Moreover, she did not want to hurt her best friend, so she had always buried those feelings in her heart, where they were gradually shifting toward familial affection.
But deep in her heart, a thought still surfaced uncontrollably.
Since the two Third Brothers have completely different lives, then would the me from the other world... be together with Tang San's counterpart?
Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
Just as everyone shifted their attention to the heavenly screen, one person's heart sank.
That person was none other than Tang Hao.
Although learning that Tang San would become a Titled Douluo in the future greatly pleased him, given the current situation, it did not seem like good news.
After all, the reason he had appeared at Spirit Hall was to unleash a full-force attack and draw the attention of the Titled Douluo present, then use the ensuing chaos to take Tang San and Xiao Wu away.
But the heavenly screen had appeared at precisely this moment. Not only had it trapped everyone in place, it had also exposed Tang San's future achievements, as though it were deliberately targeting them.
How was that any different from shitting on Spirit Hall's head?
"Sigh." Tang Hao let out a soft inward sigh and could only pray that things would not reach the worst possible outcome.
