Intimidating Pressure

Chen Mo and the others were getting farther and farther away.

Tang San could only pound the ground in anger.

Weak, too weak. In the end, his strength was lacking. Otherwise, how would he have dared to humiliate and disregard him like that?

Sooner or later, I'll make you pay me back for this, Tang San vowed inwardly.

Just then, a concerned voice called out.

"Little San, how are you? I heard someone had come looking for trouble, so I came to see."

The newcomer was none other than Tang San's teacher, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San said, "Cough, cough, Teacher, you're here?"

Seeing Tang San coughing up blood, Yu Xiaogang hurried over and looked at him anxiously.

Yu Xiaogang asked, anxious and furious, "Who was it? Just who injured you like this? How dare he?"

Tang San said, "I'm fine. Cough, cough, sorry for making you worry, Teacher. I'll be all right after resting for a while."

Yu Xiaogang asked bitterly, "Tell me, who injured you just now? I'll make him pay for it."

Tang San hesitated. He didn't want anyone to know about the Tang Sect or the mystery of his origins.

Sorry, Teacher. There are some things I don't want anyone to know, Tang San said inwardly.

Tang San said, "Teacher, I don't know who they are either. Of the three of them, the one in the lead was an exceptionally handsome young man with an outstanding bearing. He was holding a little girl's hand with his right hand the whole time. There was also an extremely burly young man. He was the one who injured me. They took Xiao Wu away, and they seemed to know my dad. Teacher, do you know anything?"

When Yu Xiaogang heard that they actually knew Tang Hao, he cried out on the spot.

"They actually knew your father?"

Hearing his teacher Yu Xiaogang's exclamation, Tang San was a little puzzled. Did Teacher know Dad too?

Tang San said, "Teacher, do you know my dad too?"

Yu Xiaogang paused before answering, "Your father did come to see me, and he asked me to take good care of you. But I let your father down. I didn't take good care of you."

Tang San said, "Cough, cough, no, this has nothing to do with you, Teacher. You've been very good to me. My skills weren't as good as his, and I lost to him. Next time, I'll wipe away this disgrace."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with some relief. "Good, very good. You have spirit. That's how a Soul Master should be."

Tang San said, "Teacher, is my dad a Douluo? They called him Clear Sky Douluo."

Yu Xiaogang's heart trembled, but he didn't find it strange. Since they knew Tang San's father, they could naturally have told Tang San a few things.

Since Tang San knew, Yu Xiaogang could hardly keep it from him any longer.

Yu Xiaogang first sent everyone away, then took Tang San to his own residence. Only then did he tell Tang San a few things, though he didn't know much himself.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Yes, your father is a Douluo, and a Titled Douluo at that. He's one of the strongest people in the world today, and one of the people I admire most. But your father naturally had his reasons for not telling you who he was. I don't know the details either. When you have the chance in the future, ask him yourself."

Tang San pondered for a while.

Tang San said, "Teacher, thank you for telling me all this."

Yu Xiaogang said, "Also, Little San, we should leave. Your identity has been exposed. If you stay here, it may be very dangerous. Since your father entrusted you to me, I must protect you."

Tang San nodded. "Teacher, I'll do as you say. When are we leaving?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "The sooner the better. The sooner we leave, the less danger there'll be. I'll go prepare a carriage now. You should go pack too and bring everything you need. We'll meet at the academy gates in half an hour."

Tang San was a little surprised. They were leaving so soon?

"Teacher, we're leaving so suddenly. Have you already made arrangements?"

Yu Xiaogang chuckled. "Don't worry, I made plans long ago. I originally intended to send you there after you graduated, but plans can't keep up with changes. Now I'll have to send you there early."

Tang San was a little puzzled. "Teacher, what about the academy?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "Don't worry. I know everything they teach at the academy. Besides, don't you trust me?"

Tang San nodded firmly. "All right, Teacher. I'll do as you say."

Meanwhile.

Outside Nuoding City, Chen Mo and the other three were traveling slowly in a carriage.

Chen Mo suddenly said, "Stop."

Lin Yaodong wasn't sure why, but he immediately pulled on the reins and brought the carriage to a halt.

Chen Mo called loudly into the air, "Your Excellency Haotian, you've followed us all this way. We're about to have a meal. Would you like to join us?"

His whereabouts exposed, Tang Hao stopped hiding and stepped openly into view, blocking Chen Mo and the others.

The mysterious figure's sudden appearance startled everyone except Chen Mo.

Lin Yaodong thought, His Excellency Haotian? Could this be the Clear Sky Douluo Big Brother spoke of?

Lin Yaodong was nervous and afraid, but when he saw how composed his big brother Chen Mo was, he quickly calmed down.

Big Brother is here. Everything will be fine.

Xiao Wu thought, He's Tang San's father, Clear Sky Douluo? Looks like the "bad guy" really didn't lie to me. I really was the Soul Ring reserved for Tang San. What disgusting humans, daring to toy with and deceive Xiao Wu's feelings like that.

But can I take the chance to leave while they fight?

As for his little sister Chen Mo, she had long since gripped Chen Mo's hand tightly in fear.

Tang Hao was still somewhat puzzled and wary. This junior had actually spotted him, and he seemed to have known of his presence all along. So how did he dare set his sights on this hundred-thousand-year soul beast? And he had even dared to injure his son.

Was he a madman?

Or did he have something to rely on?

Tang Hao said in a cold voice laced with killing intent, "Young man, you touched something you shouldn't have touched, and someone you shouldn't have touched."

Chen Mo answered calmly, "Treasures belong to those capable of claiming them. Besides, this little rabbit doesn't belong to you, does she, Your Excellency Haotian? As for Tang San, it was nothing more than an ordinary spar. If you're short, admit it; if you take a beating, stand firm. If your skills aren't good enough, go home and practice. Or could it be that you, Your Excellency Haotian, can't afford to lose?"

The moment he finished speaking, Tang Hao stopped holding back and unleashed the might of a Titled Douluo on the spot.

Faced with this pressure, Xiao Wu went pale. It wasn't that she couldn't withstand his presence; the main thing was that in her current state, she was utterly helpless against a Titled Douluo.

She was a little panicked, a little afraid.

She wanted to run, but didn't dare.

Lin Yaodong struggled to resist the pressure. Though he had some difficulty breathing, it wasn't much of a problem. After all, he cultivated his body and was good at withstanding pressure.

As for his little sister, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't let her face it. What if it left her with a lingering fear?

Chen Mo casually tossed a Diamond Talisman onto his sister.

He himself faced the greater part of Tang Hao's pressure head-on.
