Tang San: My Teacher Was Shattered

Shrek Academy.

Flender and Yu Xiaogang were together. The former was imagining how Shrek would one day become famous across the continent, while the latter was pondering something.

However, several powerful auras suddenly appeared.

Flender and Yu Xiaogang's pupils constricted sharply. The next moment, four figures appeared before them.

The moment he saw Ning Fengzhi's familiar and detestable face, as well as the hostile manner of the group, Flender immediately had a bad feeling.

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat calmer. He knew at a glance why they had come, but the instant he saw Thunder Douluo, he lost his composure.

Why was his Titled Douluo father mixed up with Ning Fengzhi and the others?

Thunder Douluo was extremely surprised. He had never expected to see his son, from whom he had been separated for many years, here.

Yet neither of them acknowledged the other immediately.

"Where is Spirit Hall's Holy Son?" Ning Fengzhi noticed that detail, but he still spoke first with a cold expression.

Before this, their group had failed to find any trace of Bai Ye. Even Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and Poison Douluo had sensed nothing.

At the time, Ning Fengzhi's expression had changed. He thought Bai Ye's group had feared an accident and returned directly to Spirit City.

If that was truly the case, Spirit Hall would be able to protect Bai Ye's growth even better, while all they could do was defend passively.

Furthermore, if Xue Ye and Thunder Douluo failed to see Bai Ye, they might think Ning Fengzhi had been lying.

"Hmph! No comment!" Flender snorted coldly. Ning Fengzhi had once tried to snatch someone away right in front of him. How could he greet him with a smile, even if the man's status and strength far surpassed his own?

Having hit a wall, Ning Fengzhi's expression turned far colder than before.

His mood had already been terrible, and the situation was urgent. With Flender refusing to cooperate, he became furious.

"Uncle Bone."

At those words, Bone Douluo immediately understood. He revealed nine Soul Rings and released his pressure.

Flender's face changed drastically. He might have been a Soul Sage, but before a Titled Douluo, he was like a little white rabbit facing an experienced hunter.

Yu Xiaogang, a mere Soul Grandmaster, was not spared either. The instant Flender spoke, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to reveal Bai Ye's whereabouts.

However, Bone Douluo's pressure left him unable to open his mouth.

Yu Xiaogang felt miserable. Wuwuwu, I was just about to tell them, and they sealed my mouth instead. What kind of nonsense is this?!

Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen did not merely stand by and watch. No matter how disappointing Yu Xiaogang was, he was still his biological son.

"Sect Master Yu, what is the meaning of this?" Bone Douluo looked at Yu Yuanzhen in confusion.

Yu Yuanzhen said nothing. He merely stared at Yu Xiaogang, waiting for him to acknowledge his father.

Yet Yu Xiaogang said nothing. He simply stood there and stared back at him.

"Senior Yu?" Ning Fengzhi frowned.

Yu Yuanzhen sighed. "He is my son."

The moment those words came out, everyone was stunned.

Ning Fengzhi had never imagined that the insignificant little figure he had previously disregarded would possess such a background as well.

Fortunately, he had not gone for the kill back then. Otherwise, Thunder Douluo beside him would have flown into a rage and fought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to the death.

He might even have turned around and joined Spirit Hall to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Leave room in all things, so you may meet again in the future."

Only at this moment did Ning Fengzhi realize just how well said those words were.

"I never expected him to be Senior Yu's son." Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Then this will be much easier."

As he spoke, Bone Douluo withdrew the pressure he had placed on Flender.

"Where is Spirit Hall's Holy Son?" Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly at Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo before looking at Yu Xiaogang with an indifferent expression.

Of course he was delighted to reunite with his son, but Yu Xiaogang refused to call him father. As the father, he could not exactly press his warm face against his son's cold backside.

Yet that very expression and those words made Yu Xiaogang feel extremely uncomfortable.

He felt that after all these years, his father still looked down on him.

Even though he had worked incredibly hard and possessed the Ten Core Theories.

"I don't know." Yu Xiaogang, who had originally intended to reveal the situation, changed his mind.

Flender, standing beside him, was overjoyed. As expected of his good brother!

He could lie to his own father without even blinking.

But the problem was that not only did Ning Fengzhi and the others not believe him, Yu Yuanzhen believed him even less.

For that reason, he even released his pressure against Yu Xiaogang.

"Where is Spirit Hall's Holy Son?"

This time, Yu Yuanzhen's voice was noticeably colder.

Yu Xiaogang's face changed drastically under the pressure, but the more Yu Yuanzhen acted this way, the less he wanted to tell him.

He glared fixedly into Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, as if saying, If you've got the guts, kill me!

Although Yu Yuanzhen felt heartache for him, he could not immediately withdraw his pressure in front of outsiders. Only when Yu Xiaogang was nearly forced to his knees did he retract it.

Yu Xiaogang immediately collapsed onto the ground, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others could not say much. They could only shift their attention back to Flender and interrogate him.

To everyone's surprise, Yu Yuanzhen moved even faster than Bone Douluo, directly forcing the unprepared Flender to the ground.

"Speak! I have no patience to waste time on you." Yu Yuanzhen had no good temper when dealing with Flender.

But Flender did not respond to force.

In the original story, even when Poison Douluo used his strength to suppress him, he had wanted to fight him to the death. There was no way he would yield now.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang had already set the example. How could he lower his head?

Flender's eyes turned bloodshot. He activated his Martial Soul Avatar to resist, but it was all futile.

"Want to know where Spirit Hall's Holy Son is? Even if I die, I won't tell you!" Flender gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength.

However, the area had already been sealed off, and his voice could not travel outside.

"As a citizen of my Heaven Dou Empire, are you planning to join Spirit Hall?" Xue Ye looked at Flender. "Do you know what Spirit Hall's Holy Son represents? As a Soul Sage, do you not know Spirit Hall's methods?"

"Pah!" Flender spat and mocked, "And how are you any better than Spirit Hall right now?"

"First you came to steal people from us, and now that you can't win, you call for help. Damn Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! If you don't kill me today, I'll wipe out your entire family sooner or later."

"Xiaogang, we'll still be good brothers in our next life. Then I won't give up Erlong again."

Flender had lost his head and wanted only to die.

Because he had gambled Shrek's future on Bai Ye.

"Uncle Bone, send him on his way." Ning Fengzhi said flatly.

Bone Douluo was about to act. Feeling death descend upon him, Flender closed his eyes. "My only regret is that I won't live to see Shrek become famous across the continent."

"Wait."

Yu Xiaogang, unwilling to watch Flender die, spoke up.

Bone Douluo stopped, and everyone looked toward Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang swept his gaze over them before finally settling it on Yu Yuanzhen.

"Spirit Hall's Holy Son..."

"Xiaogang, don't tell them!" Flender shouted!

However, Thunder Douluo answered him with ruthless thunderous means. With a simple strike, Flender fainted.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang said coldly, "He went to the Star Dou Forest."

As soon as the words fell, Ning Fengzhi and the others vanished. They rushed toward the Star Dou Forest without daring to delay for even a moment.

The Star Dou Forest was only five hundred kilometers from Shrek.

Yet the Star Dou Forest was, after all, an enormous forest. Its area was nearly equal to the territory of the Balak Kingdom.

Even after arriving there, they would not be able to find Bai Ye immediately.

In truth, by this point, Thunder Douluo and Xue Ye both believed Ning Fengzhi's words. The reason they still went to the Star Dou Forest rather than returning to their sects to discuss matters was simple.

One reason was to see it with their own eyes, while the other was to see whether they could kill him.

After all, if they truly killed Bai Ye, Spirit Hall would not choose to start a war.

A Holy Son was a Holy Son, and the Pope was the Pope.

Even if Spirit Hall went berserk, they could simply go into seclusion like the Clear Sky Sect and develop their strength in secret.

Going from the open into the shadows would even give them certain advantages.

Star Dou Forest.

Zhao Wuji led Bai Ye and the others here. Along the way, Oscar repeatedly emphasized just how dangerous the Star Dou Forest was.

However, he also occasionally pointed out that, unlike their previous visits, he felt no sense of danger this time. He treated it as nothing more than an outing to broaden their horizons and find some enjoyment.

After all, he had personally witnessed the three Titled Douluo protecting Bai Ye and severely injuring Sword Douluo.

The reason Bai Ye had been invited on this soul hunt was partly for training and partly because Zhao Wuji had his eye on the Titled Douluo behind him.

With three Titled Douluo present, they might not be able to stroll through the Star Dou Forest without restraint, but they would not need to be cautious at every turn.

At the very least, he did not need to worry about Bai Ye's safety.

As for Oscar and the others' safety, it was merely a matter of Bai Ye saying the word.

In fact, Zhao Wuji had taken too much for granted. At present, only Chrysanthemum and Poison Douluo were protecting Bai Ye.

Moreover, aside from Bai Ye and Xiao Wu, they did not care about anyone else.

"Everyone, be careful! Something is approaching." Zhao Wuji suddenly shouted.

Tang San and Dai Mubai instantly raised their guard, while Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and the others moved closer to Bai Ye.

Yet everyone immediately summoned their Martial Souls.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

The sound drew nearer, growing louder and louder.

"Zhu Zhuqing, see what it is," Zhao Wuji ordered.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately accepted the order. In the blink of an eye, she climbed a large tree and looked toward the source of the sound.

"It's a flying snake..."

The moment Zhu Zhuqing spoke, Bai Ye knew what it was.

Although the timing was off, it seemed what was meant to come had still arrived.

Sure enough, after Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Zhao Wuji stated that it was a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Tang San immediately began asking questions.

But how could Bai Ye let him show off like that?

"This is a Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent..." Bai Ye spoke before Tang San could, stating its age and all sorts of information in a certain tone.

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

After all, they did not know much about soul beasts.

Tang San, who knew more than most, could not understand how Bai Ye knew either. Moreover, Bai Ye's answer was exactly the same as what he had concluded.

"Little San, that is because of Spirit Hall's library." Bai Ye looked at the puzzled Tang San and said flatly, "That so-called master of yours only knows these things because he read those books. Otherwise, as a Soul Grandmaster, how could he possibly have seen so many soul beasts and known so much information about them?"

Tang San had initially wanted to refute him, but the more he listened, the more reasonable Bai Ye's words seemed.

His teacher was merely a Soul Grandmaster. With such strength, even encountering a hundred-year soul beast alone would be difficult to handle. How could he possibly be so knowledgeable and well-traveled?

The answer was obvious.

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang's halo shattered completely in Tang San's mind, and he was unwilling to think any further.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was also another father to him.

"You're talking nonsense!" Tang San shouted.

"You can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself." Bai Ye remained calm. From Tang San's expression, he knew that Tang San was wavering.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's voice rang out.

"It's here."

As she spoke, she, a mere Soul Grandmaster, actually attacked the Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

First soul skill, Hell Stab!

"Careful!" Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically. He immediately activated his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

However, Bai Ye moved even faster. Almost the instant Zhu Zhuqing acted, he cast Honor Blessing on her.

His thoughts were simple. Life was long, and having a catgirl by his side would be quite a pleasant experience.

With all her attributes enhanced by two hundred percent, Zhu Zhuqing's first soul skill naturally became vastly more powerful as well.

Hell Stab not only struck the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's fleshy crest, but also brought it to an abrupt halt.

"Hiss!" Zhu Zhuqing drew in a sharp breath. She had never expected herself, after Bai Ye's enhancement, to become so powerful.

She could not help looking toward Bai Ye.

Bai Ye happened to look back at her, and a faint blush instantly appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face.

Naturally, Dai Mubai caught that scene.

His fiancée was exchanging flirtatious glances with another man right in front of him!

Yet there was nothing he could do.

In terms of background, he was a prince abandoned by the Star Luo Empire, while Bai Ye was Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

In terms of talent, he was even less comparable to Bai Ye, who possessed purple, purple, black, black Soul Rings at the age of twelve.

Thus, he could only vent the fury in his heart upon the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

But the next moment, his body trembled.

Because Bai Ye had also cast Honor Blessing on him.

For a moment, his heart was filled with stifled frustration.

"Ah!"

"Xiao Bai." Zhao Wuji frowned. The attack power of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, whose all attributes had been enhanced by two hundred percent, in its frenzied state was so great that even Oscar could not help speaking up.

"Boss Dai, don't kill it."

Only after hearing that did Dai Mubai regain some restraint. Under the combined assault of him and Zhu Zhuqing, the Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent could not hold on and fainted.

"It worked!" Oscar cheered and immediately ran over.

"Do we really have to hunt soul beasts?" Xiao Wu stood beside Bai Ye, her face full of reluctance.

If Bai Ye had not stepped forward earlier, she would have been hunted too.

Bai Ye sighed. "There's no helping it. People kill beasts, and beasts eat people."

Xiao Wu fell silent.

"Do it, Oscar. Better not drag this out," Zhao Wuji said with a smile. Though he said that, with their lineup, there was no way anything could go wrong.

However, just as Oscar was about to kill the Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

"Stop!"

But Oscar did not stop moving. He took Zhao Wuji's words seriously.

You tell me to stop, and I have to stop?

Then wouldn't I, an Innate Full Soul Power food-type soul master, lose all face?

What a joke!

So not only did Oscar not stop, he moved even faster.

With a squelch, he plunged it in.

The unconscious Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent jolted awake from the pain and began struggling desperately. But Zhao Wuji's Soul Power had it locked down, and it could not break free. It could only watch as the god of death swung his scythe at it.

At that moment, an old woman and a young woman appeared.

They were Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.
