Nuoding City.
The prison.
Yu Xiaogang, who had become a cream puff, looked as though he had nothing left to live for. He truly wanted to die, but unfortunately, he was too much of a coward to face death. After a brief struggle with himself, he chose to endure the humiliation of crawling between another man's legs.
One day,
he would make those three pay.
"Teacher!"
Beside him, Tang San, whose head still looked like a pig's, ached at the sight of his teacher.
The past few days had been nothing short of hell for him.
Scar had tried to lay his filthy hands on him.
When Yu Xiaogang saw this, how could he stand by? He immediately stepped forward and fought to stop him, sacrificing himself to save his disciple.
Of course,
the main reason he had stepped forward was to win Tang San's complete allegiance. He could tell that Tang San had grown dissatisfied with him after they were locked up. Fortunately, he had managed to hoodwink Tang San with his silver tongue.
But that was only temporary.
When he saw what Scar and the others were doing, he knew his chance to restore his image had come.
And so,
the bear saved the boy, winning Tang San's heart in one stroke.
After this, no one would ever be able to separate master and disciple, and he could rest easy knowing he could live off his disciple in his old age.
However,
though he had sacrificed himself, he had also angered Scar. He had truly suffered terribly these past few days, and so had Tang San. Although Tang San had been spared Scar's filthy hands, how could the Sleeping Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix let him off easy? They had given him a vicious beating.
When he came in,
Tang San's head had already looked like a pig's, and by now, it seemed to have grown a little fatter.
"Teacher, I'm getting out tomorrow. I'll definitely find a way to get you out!"
Today was already the seventh day, and his last day behind bars. But as a disciple, how could he bear to let his teacher continue suffering here? He had to find some way to get his teacher out. And Scar, the Sleeping Dragon, and the Fledgling Phoenix-each of the three had a way to court death!
"Little San, remember what I told you. Write to that old friend of mine and tell him what's happened to me. He'll definitely come and save me!"
Yu Xiaogang reminded him.
Count on Tang San? What kind of powerful background could someone from a village have? In the end, he had to rely on his old friend Flender. With Flender's cultivation as a Soul Saint, the people here would have to show Flender some respect and let him out, no matter what.
In truth,
after correctly identifying Tang San's Twin Martial Souls despite getting the entire process wrong, he had never seen Tang San's other Martial Soul. If he had seen what it looked like, he would not have thought this way.
After all, the only Clear Sky Sect disciple still out in the world was probably Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, who had been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect six years ago.
Before Clear Sky Douluo, what did Flender amount to?
However,
it didn't matter that he didn't know, because...
Boom-!!!
With a deafening crash, the incomparably sturdy prison cell was destroyed in an instant. And the cell that had been destroyed was none other than the one they were in.
Everyone looked toward the sound.
A figure stood in the doorway, cloaked in black, his face hidden from view.
The way he stood alone made him look terrifyingly powerful.
Scar, the strongest person in the cell, nearly wet himself on the spot.
"Little San, who hurt you?"
Just as Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, and the others stood there in shock, a voice rang out. The moment Tang San heard it, he recognized it.
"Dad!!!"
The word practically burst from his mouth.
"Nani?!!!"
Beside him, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened. He looked at Tang Hao in disbelief, then glanced at his disciple.
Wait, your dad's this powerful? Why didn't you say so sooner!
You had me thinking you were some villager without a backing!
And it turns out...
your backing is actually this powerful.
If you'd said so sooner,
would I have had to suffer so much?!
Though
he, Yu Xiaogang, was a coward who fled at the first sign of trouble, he was no ordinary person. In his youth, he had formed the Golden Iron Triangle with Flender and Liu Erlong. Yet he could tell that even Flender and Liu Erlong together were no match for the man before him.
The presence the man gave off was even more powerful than that of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who had once stopped him from being with Bibi Dong and threatened to kill him.
Titled Douluo!
The man was most likely a Titled Douluo. Even if he wasn't, he was among the strongest of Soul Douluo.
In his heart, Yu Xiaogang was almost certain of it.
"It was them-"
Though Tang San was shocked by his father's strength, he hadn't forgotten the beatings he had suffered these past few days. He immediately raised his little hand and pointed at Scar and the other two.
"Ah!!!"
"Young master, it's a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Spare me! I'll never dare do it again!"
"..."
At that point of his finger, Scar and the other two broke down on the spot, so frightened they wet themselves.
Who could have imagined that the brat they had beaten into a pighead had such powerful backing? If they had known, how would they have dared act so brazenly and beat Tang San so viciously? They would have had to worship him like an ancestor instead.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
Tang Hao didn't care what the three of them thought. He had gone to great trouble to make it back, wanting to see how his beloved precious son was doing during his time at Nuoding Academy. Yet when he arrived, he couldn't even find him.
So,
he had no choice but to give Dean Chen of Nuoding Academy a friendly greeting. Only then did he learn that his son had actually landed in prison.
This...
It had simply left him at a loss.
What the hell?
Could it be that the fact that Tang San was his son had been exposed, and Spirit Hall had arrested and imprisoned him?
How could that be allowed?
He had panicked on the spot when he heard.
But
after learning the full story from Dean Chen, he breathed a sigh of relief. So he had only been arrested and thrown in prison over such a minor matter! That was fine, then. At least he could accept that.
But after arriving here,
he saw Tang San's face, swollen into a pighead, and nearly failed to recognize him as his precious son Tang San. At the same time, he flew into a towering rage. This was his, Tang Hao's, son, yet he had been bullied like this?
It had always been the Tang family bullying others. Since when had it been an outsider's turn to bully the Tang family?
Therefore,
after Tang San pointed them out,
a hammer came crashing down.
Without paying the slightest attention to their explanations, he struck swiftly and decisively, ending the fight.
As for Scar and the other two, they couldn't have been more dead.
That brief strike not only shocked Tang San, but also allowed Yu Xiaogang to recognize Tang Hao's identity.
That hammer!
Those markings!
This... wasn't this the Clear Sky Hammer?!
Ever since the Clear Sky Sect had closed itself off, no Clear Sky Sect disciples had walked the outside world. And there was only one Clear Sky Sect disciple still outside: Clear Sky Douluo-Tang Hao!!!
I've found a treasure!!!
The thought flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind. He hadn't expected the disciple he had taken in to be Tang Hao's son. Now he was even more confident that he could raise Tang San into a Titled Douluo. After all, Tang Hao was the youngest Titled Douluo, and as his son, Tang San certainly couldn't be far behind.
"Just you wait, Bibi Dong! One day, I'll make you regret it!!!"
