"Stop! Let go of Sister Erlong! Don't think you can take her away today!"
Flender rushed over, his eyes bloodshot and breathing heavily.
Behind him were Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and the other academy teachers.
Yu Luomian frowned and said grimly, "Flender, I advise you not to meddle in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's family affairs."
"Don't think that just because you hid for twenty years and luckily became a Soul Saint, you have the right to forcibly keep Erlong here."
"She must come with me today. No one can stop me!"
Flender stepped forward and roared, "Second Master, I don't care about any of that today."
"Erlong is a person. She should have the freedom to make her own choices."
"She has cared for Xiaogang for a full twenty years and still hasn't let go. Can't you see how deep her feelings run?"
"You're forcibly tearing them apart. Neither emotionally nor logically can that be justified."
"I, Flender, will never stand by and watch you take Sister Erlong away!"
Yu Luomian snorted coldly and mocked, "Deep feelings? Don't you know their blood relation?"
"They're cousins. Being together violates all ethics! That relationship has long since become twisted and rotten!"
Hearing him bring up blood relations and morality,
Flender was left speechless for a moment. His old face flushed red as he snapped in embarrassment and anger, "Yu Luomian, do you dare let go of Erlong and fight our Golden Iron Triangle fair and square?"
Yu Luomian was so angry he laughed. "Fine! Since you refuse to see reason, I'll teach you all a proper lesson before taking Liu Erlong back!"
Of course, he knew the Golden Iron Triangle possessed a martial soul fusion skill.
But so what?
His cultivation had reached Soul Douluo, and he possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the number one beast martial soul in the world. He had no reason to fear two Soul Saints and one useless Great Soul Master.
The moment Liu Erlong broke free from Yu Luomian's grasp, she rushed in front of Xiaogang. "Xiaogang, are you all right?"
"Cough, cough. I'm fine."
Yu Xiaogang looked embarrassed as he pushed himself up from the ground, but inwardly, he began to resent Flender!
He already had no face to show anyone. He had been hoping Yu Luomian would take Liu Erlong away from Shrek Academy as soon as possible and put an end to this entanglement.
As if nothing had ever happened.
After all, compared to women, Yu Xiaogang cared more about his reputation.
Yet Flender had suddenly interfered, trying to keep Liu Erlong behind.
What could have ended hastily had once again fallen into a stalemate and become complicated.
Flender said, "Xiaogang, it's been twenty years. Can you still fight? Let the Golden Sacred Dragon shake the continent once more!"
"That's right, Xiaogang. Take formation and let him witness the bond of our Golden Iron Triangle!"
Liu Erlong had always had a fiery temper. This scene instantly brought back memories of the three fighting side by side in the past, and her blood began to boil.
Seeing that the two insisted on dragging him into opposing his second uncle, Yu Xiaogang looked utterly distressed and tried to persuade her:
"Erlong, we're cousins. We can't be together. You... should go back with Second Uncle."
His entire life had been devoted to proving that he had not disgraced the family.
Now that an elder of the clan stood before him, he did not dare defy the family and do something that violated morality.
"Xiaogang, what are you saying?! Have you forgotten the feelings we've shared all these years? Can you face Sister Erlong like this?"
Flender's pupils shrank in disbelief.
He had still wanted to fight for them, but Xiaogang had already surrendered.
"Xiaogang, what exactly do you mean?!"
Liu Erlong's mind shook as though she had been struck by lightning.
She never could have imagined that after traveling such a great distance to find him, what she would receive was him personally urging her to return to her father.
Her heart instantly sank to the bottom, and she was deeply disappointed in Xiaogang.
"No, you have to activate the martial soul fusion skill with us today!"
"Xiaogang, summon your Luo Sanpao!"
Liu Erlong could no longer care about anything else. Reaching out, she directly dragged Xiaogang in front of her.
She did not want to admit defeat like this, nor did she want to obediently leave with Yu Luomian.
She wanted to use the power of the Golden Iron Triangle to break free from this fate.
The three formed a triangle.
But Yu Xiaogang did not release his martial soul. His old face turned the color of pig liver.
"Xiaogang, summon your Luo Sanpao!?"
Liu Erlong's brows shot up in confusion.
Yu Luomian frowned slightly. Seeing his useless nephew delay in releasing his martial soul, he thought Xiaogang knew his place, yet also felt somewhat disappointed.
Hmph!
Trash was trash. He did not even have the courage to release his martial soul in front of him.
At a distant corner of the wall,
Two heads quietly poked out, secretly watching Flender and the others confront each other.
Tang San said, "Father, why aren't you going to help Teacher?"
Tang Hao replied calmly, "This is their family affair. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to interfere."
Could he say that his soul power had now fallen to the Soul Saint level, and he might not even gain an advantage against Yu Luomian?
Though he still had the foundation of a Titled Douluo, Yu Luomian would certainly be no match for him if he used Ring Detonation.
But given his current physical condition, he could only detonate his rings a few more times at most.
To preserve his dignity, he had chosen to hide.
Besides, he was already used to hiding.
"A family affair? I heard people at the academy say that man is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Could Teacher..."
Tang San's pupils shrank, and he trailed off.
"Yes. Your teacher is actually the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's clan leader. But because his talent was too poor and he made a mistake, he was expelled from the clan," Tang Hao said with a sigh.
When it came to Yu Xiaogang's plight, Tang Hao actually felt a sense of shared misery.
"Damn it, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you have earned your death!" Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot as he panted heavily.
In the field,
Under Liu Erlong's relentless questioning, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and ultimately chose to undergo martial soul possession.
His belly swelled, and the skin across his body transformed into rough purple pigskin, faintly carrying an inauspicious blackish hue.
Pig ears, twin ponytails, and a black mamba snake-headed staff also grew out.
"No, Xiaogang, how did you become like this?!"
"Where's your Sanpao? I told you to summon Luo Sanpao, not turn yourself into Luo Sanpao!"
Liu Erlong's expression changed drastically, and she instantly felt as if the sky had collapsed.
"Erlong, I..."
Yu Xiaogang's face was full of bitterness as he lowered his head fiercely.
With his purple pigskin appearance exposed before everyone, he could not raise his head or face the gazes of those present.
He was deeply insecure, afraid he would see ridicule and mockery in the eyes of others.
"Xiaogang, how did your useless martial soul become like this?! Why is it so ugly?!"
Yu Luomian's brow furrowed tightly. Looking at Yu Xiaogang's mutated form, he felt a wave of disgust and nausea.
Although the previously detached Luo Sanpao had been useless, at least it had possessed a beastly form. What kind of monster was this thing before him?
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such an ugly martial soul possession.
If others learned of Yu Xiaogang's identity, it would truly disgrace the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Fortunately, they had already expelled that useless Xiaogang from the clan!
