Tang San Becomes the Enemy of the World, Tang Hao Saves the Day

"Tang San... you..." Ning Rongrong did not even know what to say at this point.

She had originally thought that, at most, Tang San would be crippled by Spirit Hall in the future, losing his soul power and Martial Soul and becoming useless. She had never expected that Tang San would be the reason the Abyss came to Douluo Continent, all because he wanted revenge against Spirit Hall.

But Ning Rongrong felt that dragging the entire Douluo Continent down with him for the sake of revenge was simply the pinnacle of courting death!

Although no one could be certain whether the Abyss would truly invade in the future, the Sky Screen had shown so much already, and many things had been confirmed as real. So, if the Abyss really did invade Douluo Continent in the future...

Then Tang San would become the public enemy of the entire Douluo Continent.

At the same time, there was no longer any excuse to stall for time.

"Tang San... you should leave Shrek Academy and leave this 100,000-year Soul Beast behind."

Ma Hongjun spoke. In his view, everything the Sky Screen had shown was real. It had even revealed matters concerning the Former Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong. Therefore, it was possible that Tang San really would bring Abyss Monsters to Douluo Continent in the future.

Thus, Ma Hongjun had an extremely poor impression of Tang San right now. Especially since Tang San had clashed with him not long after enrolling, their relationship had never been good.

Seeing Tang San in trouble now made Ma Hongjun quite happy.

"No! Don't forget, my father is the Haotian Douluo."

Though Tang San said that on the surface, he was not very confident in his father either. He knew his father was the Haotian Douluo, a Titled Douluo, but he did not know the details.

After all, Tang San had never had the time to learn about his father.

"Even if your father is a Titled Douluo, he isn't by your side right now."

Dai Mubai no longer wanted to endure it. He planned to forcibly take Xiao Wu and obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring, which would allow him to win the struggle for the throne against his elder brother.

"You should leave. You can't even protect yourself—how are you supposed to protect your little sister?"

Zhu Zhuqing also stepped forward. As an aloof goddess, she usually looked like a good person, but that did not mean anyone should truly mistake her for one.

On Douluo Continent, nobles were basically never good people.

If nobles were good people, they would not have survived until now.

Those who looked like good people were not necessarily good people either. Look at Ning Fengzhi. He was considered a super noble on Douluo Continent, wasn't he? Yet although he bought and freed many slaves from the Heaven Dou Auction House, they would actually just be captured again. Those unprotected slaves would only be seized once more by people from the Heaven Dou Auction House.

Ning Fengzhi merely wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of the world. On Douluo Continent, the only forces that could barely be considered good were Spirit Hall and the Angel Clan, though they could not truly be called good people either.

"You!" Tang San immediately brought out his other Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. However, the Clear Sky Hammer was especially heavy.

"The Clear Sky Hammer? So what if you have the Clear Sky Hammer? Your Martial Soul doesn't have any Soul Rings. All your Soul Rings are on your Blue Silver Grass—no, they should be on your Blue Silver King. You should just give up."

Dai Mubai did not want to resort to force either. Fighting was tiring, and he understood that Ma Hongjun also wanted the 100,000-year Soul Ring.

If Ma Hongjun succeeded, then the 100,000-year Soul Ring would be gone.

"Tang San."

At that moment, the sound of a voice made everyone turn around. They discovered that it was Flender, accompanied by all of Shrek's teachers, including Vice Dean Zhao Wuji.

"Tang San, leave now. Take your little sister and get as far away as you can. Just don't say that Shrek Academy has anything to do with you."

"You..." Tang San could not believe that Flender would allow him to leave with Xiao Wu. Although Flender wanted him to sever ties with Shrek, being able to leave with Xiao Wu was already good enough. Still, he remembered this grudge.

In his view, Flender driving him and Xiao Wu away meant that Flender was his enemy. What he did not know was that Flender was doing this to keep him safe.

The reason was simple. Flender knew that the Haotian Douluo had always been around Tang San, secretly protecting him. Back during the entrance exam, Zhao Wuji had hit Tang San a little too hard, and Tang Hao had beaten him so badly that he was injured. It was not especially serious, but it had hurt terribly.

In Flender's view, although Tang Hao had not killed the Supreme Pontiff back then, anyone who dared to hammer the Supreme Pontiff would ensure that Shrek never had another peaceful day if they truly harmed Tang San.

So, letting Tang San and Xiao Wu leave was the best choice. That way, Shrek's safety could be guaranteed. Saying it this way was also an indirect way of protecting Tang San and Shrek.

After all, the Sky Screen had already portrayed Tang San as a traitor who brought Abyss demons to Douluo Continent. If Shrek's connection to Tang San were exposed now, then Shrek would have no place on Douluo Continent.

That was why Flender said this. First, it would keep those students from attacking Tang San. Second, it would sever Shrek's ties with Tang San and preserve Shrek.

He thought that by doing this, Tang San would understand that Flender intended, on one hand, to protect him, and on the other, to protect Shrek's reputation.

That way, even if Tang Hao came looking for trouble later, he would have no excuse. At the same time, it would count as doing Tang San a favor by sparing him.

But Flender did not know that Tang San was notorious throughout Douluo Continent for repaying kindness with ingratitude, and that he was also scum who cared only about his own interests.

"Dean!" When Dai Mubai heard Flender's words, he could not believe that the dean would let a 100,000-year Soul Beast escape. Nor could he accept that if the 100,000-year Soul Beast fled, he would lose both a 100,000-year Soul Ring and a 100,000-year Soul Bone. How would he fight Davis then?

"Let him go." Flender was doing this to protect the students. If they truly harmed Tang San, all these students would die.

The Shrek students who wanted Xiao Wu's Soul Ring wanted to act, but since Flender had said so, there was nothing they could do. Ning Rongrong also desperately wanted to act and stall for time, but she feared there was no way now.

At that moment, someone suddenly arrived.

"Stop right there. A 100,000-year Soul Beast and a traitor actually want to leave? You should obediently stay behind."

"Who is it?!"

At that moment, a white-haired man in lavish clothes who appeared to be in his sixties emerged. He was the bishop of Spirit Hall in Soto City.

"Tang San, you criminal who brought Abyss Monsters to Douluo Continent, you traitor—do you think you can just leave because you say so? Isn't that ridiculous? And the 100,000-year Soul Beast beside you must stay as well."

When Flender and the others saw this, they did not dare offend Spirit Hall. After all, Spirit Hall had a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo and was the strongest force on the continent. Who would dare oppose Spirit Hall?

Moreover, they could tell that Spirit Hall was not here to trouble them. So, it was best not to stir up further trouble.

"Dean!" Tang San looked at Flender.

"This matter is beyond my control. Tang San no longer has anything to do with Shrek Academy. Handle it however you wish."

After Flender said this, many of the other teachers behind him said nothing. After all, they did not dare offend Spirit Hall either.

"Damn it," Ning Rongrong muttered. She no longer had any way to keep stalling. She only hoped that her father and grandfathers would hurry over. The 100,000-year Soul Beast was about to be taken!

Ning Rongrong knew very clearly that if Xiao Wu, this 100,000-year Soul Beast, fell into Spirit Hall's hands, there would be no chance of getting her back.

Father! Grandpa Sword! Grandpa Bone! Hurry over! I can't hold on much longer! This Soul Beast is about to be taken by Spirit Hall! Rongrong can't hold on anymore!

Ning Rongrong thought this in her heart, but no one knew what she was thinking.

"..." Dai Mubai was furious. The 100,000-year Soul Beast that should have been his—if Dean Flender and the others had been willing to help, it could have been his. Yet for some reason, Flender had chosen to let the 100,000-year Soul Beast go. Now the bishop of Spirit Hall had arrived, and this 100,000-year Soul Beast was about to become Spirit Hall's.

Ma Hongjun also held some resentment toward the dean who had taken him in and raised him since childhood. Why could he not have chosen to let him obtain Xiao Wu and acquire that 100,000-year Soul Ring?

Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of acting either. Everyone on Douluo Continent knew how powerful Spirit Hall was. There was even a saying in the Star Luo Empire that Spirit Hall's true strength could rival the Two Empires. Clashing head-on with Spirit Hall was the most unwise choice.

Zhu Zhuqing understood perfectly why such a saying existed. It was because Spirit Hall truly possessed the means to stand against the Two Empires, especially with an Ultimate Douluo among its ranks, as well as multiple Titled Douluo above Level 95. With such combat power, let alone fighting the Two Empires, even three empires might not be enough for Spirit Hall.

The strength of the Two Empires lay in their vast numbers of soldiers and their enormous populations.

That was the foundation of the Two Empires' strength.

But Spirit Hall was a sacred land for Soul Masters and could command huge numbers of Soul Masters. One had to know that at the Soul Sage level, Soul Masters could already take an enemy general's head from amid thousands of troops.

Titled Douluo could even contend with armies of a million. For example, even the weakest, Poison Douluo, could face an army of nearly a million. Calling that conservative would not be an exaggeration.

Therefore, no one was foolish enough to confront Spirit Hall head-on, given that it possessed the combat strength of so many Titled Douluo.

Thus, Zhu Zhuqing would absolutely not be foolish enough to offend Spirit Hall.

Oscar said nothing when he saw this. He understood that even if he wanted to obtain Xiao Wu, this 100,000-year Soul Beast, and gain a 100,000-year Soul Ring, it would likely be impossible. He was merely an auxiliary-system Soul Master. How could he possibly obtain a 100,000-year Soul Ring? The people present would not give him the chance.

"Tang San, regarding your crimes, you should obediently come to Spirit Hall. We will treat you well; we will not do anything to you. As for this 100,000-year Soul Beast, hand her over to us. You can't handle her."

Hearing the bishop say this, Tang San had already prepared his hidden weapons and was ready to deal with the Spirit Hall bishop at any moment. But he did not know that while his current hidden weapons could deal with Soul Masters below the Soul King level, they were useless against a Soul Emperor-level bishop like this one.

Moreover, as a Soul Emperor-level bishop, he had brought many Soul King-level Soul Masters with him. Even with wings, Tang San would not be able to escape.

"Father! Where are you? You are the great Haotian Douluo! Please help me! Xiaosan needs your help!"

Tang San was truly on the verge of collapse. He even began shouting in the middle of the grounds.

"Stop dreaming. Even your father, the Haotian Douluo, did not dare kill the Supreme Pontiff back then."

This bishop had once believed that the Supreme Pontiff had truly been severely injured by Tang Hao and died of those injuries, so he had always believed that Tang Hao truly dared to kill the Supreme Pontiff. But now that the truth had been exposed—that it was Bibi Dong, that ungrateful wretch, who killed the Supreme Pontiff, not Tang Hao—the bishop regarded Tang Hao as nothing more than a coward who did not dare do anything to Spirit Hall.

"Is that so? Then I really want to give it a try!"

"Who?!"

At that moment, an enormous voice rang out. The Spirit Hall bishop became frightened, while Flender immediately realized from the side that Tang Hao had appeared. Tang Hao had come to save Tang San.

Boom!

Then, an enormous hammer appeared and smashed directly into the ground of the plaza. In an instant, a massive crater formed.

"Father!" Tang San saw a figure appear in the sky. It was Tang Hao, walking through the air as he arrived above Shrek Academy.

"The Haotian Douluo? Hahaha! A mere Haotian Douluo—what do you dare do to us from Spirit Hall? Let me tell you, if you dare kill anyone from Spirit Hall, Lord Judge Consecrator will never let you go!"

In the eyes of this Spirit Hall bishop, Tang Hao was a coward who did not dare do anything to Spirit Hall. If Tang Hao dared kill him, the conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall would only grow greater and eventually become a war.

"Do you think Qian Daoliu would dare come trouble me over a minor character like you?"

Tang Hao found it amusing. Thinking that a mere Spirit Hall bishop could make Qian Daoliu come after him was simply ridiculous.
