Dragon Knight? Check-In?

She kept calling herself "your mother."

Clearly,

it was Liu Erlong.

However,

Liu Erlong had learned to behave herself.

Aside from her disgruntled tone, she no longer resorted to violence at the slightest provocation as she had before.

It seemed Yu Xiaogang had trained her well.

For a moment,

Wang Changsheng actually envied Gangzi a little.

Why wouldn't Liu Erlong obey his every word?

"Aunt Erlong, isn't it just the Soul Master Tournament? What's worth making such a fuss over? I'm eighteen this year, well within the age limit. When the time comes, let me compete and fight for you."

Liu Erlong snorted disdainfully.

Given Wang Changsheng's age, he did meet the requirements to compete.

But leaving aside whether Wang Changsheng would even fight for Shrek's glory,

there was another matter.

This tournament

was primarily her beloved Yu Xiaogang's responsibility.

Xiaogang's years of theory could only be proven through practice.

Only when the students achieved results would Xiaogang receive the honors he deserved.

Therefore,

Liu Erlong fully supported Yu Xiaogang on this matter and would never let Wang Changsheng ruin it.

"I don't need your help. This is Shrek Academy's own business, so please don't interfere."

Wang Changsheng had only made the offer offhand.

At the same time,

he understood Liu Erlong's sincere feelings for Yu Xiaogang.

She wanted to use promising talents like the Shrek Seven Devils to win some glory for Shrek and for herself.

That said,

if he gave the order now,

he couldn't guarantee anything else,

but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing would withdraw.

Without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support and Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Shrek would be a pile of crap.

And they still wanted good results?

That was a fantasy straight out of the Arabian Nights.

Of course,

Wang Changsheng didn't do that. After all, there was still time before the tournament began, so he could leave it for later.

But Liu Erlong's sincere feelings for Yu Xiaogang left him vaguely displeased.

Since Wang Changsheng was angry, he took revenge immediately. He never held a grudge overnight.

"Little Scumbag, I hear you have an External Soul Bone? Take it out and let me have a look."

Tang San, who was standing not far away, was slightly taken aback.

Who had he offended?

He seemed to feel a chill down his spine. Something was wrong.

With a slight thought from Tang San, eight razor-sharp spider legs extended from his back.

"Lord Sunlight, this is my External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances Bone."

Wang Changsheng hurried over, his face full of displeasure.

"Why is it called the Eight Spider Lances Bone? Why not the Nine Spider Lances Bone?"

The question

left Tang San speechless.

Well, well, Wang Changsheng.

There really is something wrong with his head. He's a lunatic.

Has his madness flared up again today?

What kind of bullshit question is that?

He's even picking a fight over the name I gave my External Soul Bone?

"Answer me!" Wang Changsheng barked, determined to get an explanation.

Tang San was furious, but he had no choice but to answer.

"Because it has eight legs..."

Only then did Wang Changsheng nod.

Then his gaze darkened. In the space of a lightning flash, a beam of light shot from his body and sliced all eight Spider Spears off Tang San's back.

"Ah..."

Tang San let out a scream and rolled back and forth on the ground.

He had never imagined that Wang Changsheng would do this to him.

The sudden turn of events also stunned everyone present.

Xiao Wu was the most worried. She hurried over and crouched beside Tang San.

"Third Brother, Third Brother, how are you?"

Liu Erlong flew into a rage.

"Wang Changsheng, you bastard, you've gone too far! Little San didn't say a word. Why did you break his Soul Bone?"

Wang Changsheng shrugged.

"Because I don't like the name Eight Spider Lances Bone, so I had to hit it."

"You..."

"You're a complete scoundrel."

After cursing him, Liu Erlong hurried forward with Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others to treat Tang San's injuries.

Xiao Wu didn't have enough Soul Power, and she couldn't have intimate contact with Tang San, so only they, his teachers, could help him.

At that very moment,

Wang Changsheng sensed the presence of a Titled Douluo.

It was none other than

Tang Hao.

As the strongest deity, he had detected Tang Hao's presence on his very first day at Shrek Academy.

Wang Changsheng had investigated using his divine power.

Tang Hao had been hiding in a large tree all along.

Perhaps worried about his son, he had just moved a little closer.

Perhaps he knew he couldn't beat Wang Changsheng, or perhaps it was because Tang San hadn't suffered a fatal injury, but he didn't show himself.

That feeling of wanting to avenge his son but being unable to do anything about it was truly satisfying.

Wang Changsheng pretended not to know and sat down on a bench beside the training ground, taking his time admiring Tang San, whose Soul Bone had been broken.

"Don't worry. Tang San's External Soul Bone can regenerate. It'll grow back sooner or later."

Wang Changsheng had barely finished his mocking remark

when the agony twisting Tang San's face suddenly intensified. Unable to bear it, he passed out.

Flender immediately summoned his Cat Owl Martial Soul and picked Tang San up.

"An External Soul Bone is just like one's own bones. Little San must have fainted from the pain. I'll take him back to his room to rest."

Once Flender left,

Liu Erlong gave Wang Changsheng a cold snort and followed Yu Xiaogang away.

Wang Changsheng had wanted to watch a while longer.

But they didn't let him, and he instantly grew bored.

Suddenly,

the system's voice appeared.

[Ding...]

[Today's system task has been updated]

[Host, please go to Liu Erlong's room tonight. After Liu Erlong falls asleep, cover her face with a white veil, then check in]

Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up.

He instantly recalled a story everyone knew.

Dragon Knight?

Yin Zhiping?

Back then,

when he had read that part, his heart had bled.

Fortunately, he was the Dragon Knight this time, so it was fine.

Of course,

the system task hadn't told him to do anything improper.

It had been perfectly clear: he only needed to wait until Liu Erlong was asleep, then cover her face with a white veil.

He was an upright gentleman, after all.

How could he do anything else so beastly?

In and outside Tang San's room,

Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong stood guard at the door.

Neither of them was in a particularly good mood.

Before she knew it, Liu Erlong slipped her arm through Yu Xiaogang's and tilted her head to rest it on his shoulder.

"Xiaogang, so, so much has happened at the academy these past few days. I don't know when days like these will end."

Yu Xiaogang knew that Liu Erlong was worried about Wang Changsheng.

However,

Liu Erlong's initiative also flustered him.

He hurried forward and away, escaping Liu Erlong's intimate gesture.

Liu Erlong frowned, her face full of displeasure.

"Xiaogang, just how much longer are you going to keep avoiding me?"

"Ever since that bastard Wang Changsheng appeared, our lives have been turned upside down."

"Who knows when he might go mad and kill us all? Even at a time like this, are you still unwilling to accept me?"

Yu Xiaogang wore a troubled expression.

No matter what,

he still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

After all,

Liu Erlong was his paternal cousin.

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang still hadn't answered, Liu Erlong ran away, deeply hurt.

Just then,

Flender finished treating Tang San and came out of the room, just in time to see Liu Erlong run off.

He let out a heavy sigh.

For the sake of his goddess's happiness, Flender racked his brains for a solution.

Finally, he spoke.

"Xiaogang, I have a way for you to be with Erlong without anything weighing on your mind."
