To this day.
Yu Xiaogang still had not forgotten how Bibi Dong had actually yielded to Qian Xunji's coercion and given up such an outstanding man as him. It was all her fault, and he wanted to make her regret it someday.
By nurturing Tang San, who possessed Twin Martial Souls, he could not only wash away the name of "clown" that clung to him and let the world know that his name as "Grandmaster" was not an empty title, but also make Bibi Dong regret it.
Make her regret giving up such an outstanding man as him.
"Dad, this is the teacher I took after enrolling. His name is Yu Xiaogang."
After helping Yu Xiaogang to his feet, Tang San came before Tang Hao and introduced him to his father.
"Yu Xiaogang pays his respects to His Excellency Haotian!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke with some excitement.
For one thing, the torture of this hell was finally over.
For another, Tang Hao was actually his idol. Aside from Tang Hao's talent, what he admired most was how Tang Hao had hammered the previous Pope, Qian Xunji, to death with a single blow. He wished he had been the one to hammer Qian Xunji to death.
Back then, he had practically had Bibi Dong eating out of his hand, but Qian Xunji had forcibly torn the lovers apart. As a result, not only had he broken up with Bibi Dong, but Qian Xunji had also blacklisted him.
In those days, because Spirit Hall was so powerful, he had been unable to publish any of his work, despite all his talent.
But fortunately.
Qian Xunji was dead, and the blacklist had come to an end.
His talent had also begun to become known to the world.
"Let's go!"
Tang Hao merely glanced at Yu Xiaogang and nodded in approval.
He had recognized him. After all, the affair between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had caused quite a stir back then and had nearly become a stain Spirit Hall could never wash away, but that was no issue to him.
Or rather.
Among those from major powers, who did not know that Bibi Dong possessed the gift of Twin Martial Souls? His son had Twin Martial Souls too.
And Twin Martial Souls had a drawback.
How were they to be cultivated?
And how was one to overcome the difficulty of using both Martial Souls at once?
Even as a Titled Douluo, he did not know how to handle this problem.
The first person to possess Twin Martial Souls had already died after his body exploded. Bibi Dong, the only person in the world who currently possessed Twin Martial Souls, had overcome their defect and successfully reached the level of Titled Douluo. She was undoubtedly the only person who could solve this problem.
And Yu Xiaogang, as Bibi Dong's former boyfriend, was the only candidate with the best chance of coaxing the method out of her.
So, in his view.
As long as it could solve the problem of his son's Twin Martial Soul cultivation, taking Yu Xiaogang as his teacher was no loss.
They then left the prison.
The warden could only tremble at the side as he watched them leave. Never mind whether he had the guts to stop them; if he dared to do so, he would surely be the one to die. Thinking of his wife and children, young and old, he gave up on the idea. He only earned a few Gold Soul Coins a month. Was it worth risking his life?
The next day.
Gu Chen went to school as usual.
Although the school taught less about Soul Beasts than he already knew, its explanations were thorough. The best way to gain a clear understanding of the material recorded in books was to learn from the teachers' lectures.
Thus, he had not missed a single class he was supposed to attend, nor had he fallen behind in his cultivation at all.
But.
Today, he saw someone he had not expected.
Tang San!
He had come to class too.
What a pity. They only locked him up for seven days. If only they could have locked him up for seven years!
Gu Chen was a little disappointed to see that Tang San had been released, but it was only a passing thought. Something like that was almost impossible. Although Tang Hao raised Tang San in a hands-off manner, he would at least come back and check on him.
For instance, he still remembered that Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao had met, and Tang Hao had entrusted his son to Yu Xiaogang.
As for when?
Too much time had passed, and he could no longer remember clearly.
But seeing Tang San here now, he did not connect his release to Tang Hao, because when he had asked about Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's situation, he had also learned the day they would be released.
They had only been locked up for seven days.
Today was exactly the eighth day, so it was perfectly reasonable for Tang San to be here.
However.
He always felt that the way Tang San looked at him was full of ill intent. But on second thought, that was only natural. After all, he had played a part in sending Tang San and his teacher to prison!
So it was perfectly normal for Tang San to bear a grudge against him.
Gu Chen, oh, Gu Chen! How could you know how powerful my backing is? The gap between you and me is like a heavenly chasm. You were nothing but an ant, and I couldn't even be bothered to look at you, but you just had to provoke me!
So today, I have no choice but to send you to your death!
Ever since learning yesterday that his father was the renowned Clear Sky Douluo, Tang San's sense of self-importance had begun to swell. When his backing had been weak, he could choose to lie low and endure, but now that he knew just how powerful his backing was, what use was it if he still had to endure?
So he had immediately begged his father to get rid of Gu Chen.
Unfortunately.
Tang Hao had not agreed. If outsiders learned that he had acted against a little brat who was not even a Soul Master, they would only think that he, the Clear Sky Douluo, had truly lowered himself.
However.
Tang San was not discouraged. Or rather, so what if his father did not act? At worst, he would do it himself.
I can't beat a One-Ring Soul Master, but can't I beat a waste like you with level-one Innate Soul Power?
Did you really think my identity as a member of the Tang Sect was fake?
As for the consequences of killing him?
What a joke.
My father is the Clear Sky Douluo. Who could touch me? Who would dare?!!!
Gu Chen did not know either.
He had already incurred Tang San's way to death and had become his target in earnest. Tang San was even planning to send him to his death today.
But he did not know.
That day.
He carried on as usual. Apart from a certain someone who was a little annoying, giving off killing intent toward him from time to time, everything else was fine.
After school.
He was walking back to the Rose Hotel.
In an alley.
A figure in a black robe, whose face could not be seen, suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
"May I ask who you are?"
Gu Chen had a terrible feeling.
Wasn't an alley like this the perfect place to kill and rob someone?
Moreover, judging by the speed at which the figure had appeared, he was no ordinary person. His strength was certainly beyond anything Gu Chen could imagine.
"I didn't want to act against you at first, but after today, it seems you have to die, brat!"
The man did not answer his question, instead saying something that left Gu Chen baffled.
Before Gu Chen could give it any more thought.
A gigantic hammer came crashing down at him.
In that instant.
He understood everything.
A hammer Martial Soul, and someone so mysterious and powerful-who else could it be but Tang Hao?!!!
"Holy shit! Tang Hao, you bastard, you have no martial ethics!!!"
