Tai Long hurriedly faced Tang San and Xiao Wu and repeatedly sent warning glances, signaling them to hurry up and enter. But Xiao Wu mistook the intentions
"You ended up like this but still not satisfied? Rolling your eyes. Don't tell me you still want to have a contest?"
The appearance of Xiao Wu attracted the gaze of Vigorous King Tai Nuo, secretly praising, what a beautiful lady. Although outwardly he looked bold and unrefined, but he wasn't dumb. From the few sentences said by Xiao Wu he had grasped many things. Looking again at his son's facial expression, his gaze suddenly landed on top of Tang San.
"The two of you, who is Tang San?"
Tai Nuo coldly asked. Tang San heard someone calling his name and subconsciously replied
"I am."
"Good, so you are the little bastard who beat my son to this state."
Saying this, he immediately tried to grab Tang San's shoulder which he evaded using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and asked
"You are Tai Long's father?"
Tai Nuo proudly said
"Correct, I am Vigorous King Tai Nuo. You beat my son until this state, should you not give me an explanation."
Xiao Wu gave Tai Long a glance with some disdain
"Finished beating the young one, the old then appears. If we were to also beat your father up, will your grandfather come out too?"
Tai Long momentarily blanked, his eyes suddenly filled with shame
"Xiao Wu, don't misunderstand, my father saw my wounds, that's why... However, if my grandfather really came, that would be troublesome."
Tai Nuo side glanced at Xiao Wu
"Little girl, this matter also involves you. If not for you seducing my son, would he get beaten up that miserably? Certainly a femme fatale. Knowing how to seduce men at such a young age."
Xiao Wu got taken aback, turning furious
"Gorilla, you said who is seducing men?"
Tai Nuo let out a single grunt
"Don't tell me you didn't rile up this little bastard to beat my son? After I have settled this brat I will discipline you. My son has nothing unsatisfactory. This kid is just some other gigolo."
While speaking, he reached out to grab Tang San again. JoyBoy knew that by insulting Xiao Wu, Tai Nuo had poked Tang San's reverse scale. He observed their battle for some time before refocusing on his shop. Since he knew how the battle would go and that Tang San wouldn't be in life threatening danger, he simply ignored them went on with his routine.
Still JoyBoy was impressed by Tai Nuo's strength. After observing his battle with Tang San, JoyBoy realized that he would have to use three times boost in order to easily defeat him. Since they were both spirit kings and his physical body was comparable to a Spirit Emperor, he was surprised to find that he would still have to use three times boost.
After the fight was over JoyBoy checked Tang San for any big injuries. After finding none, he checked Tai Nuo and saw him negotiating with Shrek Academy teachers. Seeing his beat up face made hi laugh a little. Then he continued with his daily routine.
The next morning, after he finished his morning workouts, he cleaned himself and left his room. Instead of going to the classroom, he went near the Shrek Academy gate because he knew that soon Tang San would have to face Tai Long's grandfather Tai Tan.
Outside of the Shrek Academy gate, Tai Long and Tai Nuo stood to either side of an old man. This elder had grizzled hair and beard, the short hair standing out like steel needles at the top of his head. His stature appeared about the same as Vigorous King Tai Nuo, only his expression was even more abstruse. Standing there he gave people a kind of not angry but forceful impression. From the reverence in Tai Long and Tai Nuo's eyes as they looked at him, could be seen just what kind of position this old man had in their family.
"Grandpa, I beg of you, go back. If it goes on like this I really won't be able to show myself at the Academy."
Tai Long entreated his grandfather with a bitter smile. That old man standing there between him and Tai Nuo was indeed his grandfather, Tai Tan. He was also the clan head. Tai Tan held his hands behind his back, shooting a cold glance at his grandson
"Shut up."
With just these two words he had completely forced down Tai Long. Right then JoyBoy saw Tang San and Oscar walked out from the Academy in a crowd of other students.
"Who is Tang San?"
Tai Tan asked indifferently. Even though his voice was somewhat aged, it still gave people a kind of sonorous feeling. That wording brimming with force seemed to make even the air in the surroundings vibrate.
"I am."
Tang San unhurriedly stepped forward, at the same time pushing the spirit power within his body to its peak condition, prepared to adapt to any situation.
"Yesterday it was you who injured my son and grandson?"
Tai Tan asked indifferently. Tang San nodded once
"Yes."
A light suddenly flashed in Tai Tan's eyes, and an incomparably forceful feeling abruptly erupted from his body. Tai Nuo and Tai Long standing at his side couldn't endure and were both simultaneously pushed back four or five steps before they could stand steady.
Including Tang San and Oscar, all the Shrek Academy students collectively recoiled a step. The atmosphere became thick like liquid in this instant. JoyBoy wasn't affected because he was observing everything from inside the Academy that too with his boosts activated to maximum without releasing his spirit rings.
"You injuring my son and grandson is all because of their lack of skill. But my One Strength Clan isn't so incompetent. As the big I wouldn't take advantage of the small, so how about we make a bet?"
Tai Tan said calmly. Tang San looked straight at the him asking
"What bet?"
Tai Tan casually waved his hand, and a stick of incense flew out from his sleeve, flying ten meters straight like an arrow to nail into the Academy gate, the stick of incense simultaneously igniting.
Seeing this scene, the Shrek students couldn't help simultaneously cry out in alarm while JoyBoy was impressed seeing such control of strength. He and Tang San saw even more than others. The reason that stick of incense ignited wasn't because it had been lit in advance, but because it had travelled too fast and ignited from the friction with the air.
"I won't attack, I also won't release my spirit. As long as you can endure the pressure I release until this stick of incense has burnt out, it will be your win. I'll have Tai Nuo and Tai Long kowtow to you in apology. If not, I want you to become a member of our One Strength Clan."
"This isn't fair."
Before Tang San could speak up, Oscar hurried to talk. He knew Tang San's character was even more resolute than Dai Mubai, if by any chance he agreed, he would be unable to take it back. Glaring at Tai Tan he said
"If you lose, your son and grandson only have to kowtow in apology. Even though they'll lose a bit of face, it's still no great loss to them. But if little San loses he will have to join your clan, bound for a lifetime. How is this fair?"
Oscar deliberately lowered the pace of his speech so that the stick of incense on the gate could burn a bit more. In petty cleverness, even Tang San couldn't compare to him. Tai Tan calmly said
"Then how do you think it should be done?"
His words weren't directed at Oscar, but rather directly asked Tang San. Oscar hastily interfered
"Very simple. If you lose, you'll have them join Tang San's clan."
"Oh? You also have a clan?"
Tai Tan looked at Tang San, his eyes revealing a trace of doubt. This time, Tang San spoke up himself
"I do, my clan is called Tang Sect."
Tang Sect? Tai Tan searched his brain for a moment, but didn't have any memory of such a school. let alone a formidable one. Immediately he believed that this was just a small unremarkable little school. He immediately nodded without hesitation, saying
"Fine. It's agreed. If I lose my son and grandson will join your Tang Sect. If you are unable to endure, you need only withdraw beyond a twenty meter range from me or fall to the ground. I will withdraw my force."
Oscar's eyes displayed a cunning light, quietly placing a recovery sausage in Tang San's hand, then quickly withdrew.
"Work hard little San, getting two slaves isn't bad."
Tai Tan didn't seem to care a whit about the stick of incense burning a bit during their previous discussion. After once again indicating that Tang San should be careful, the surroundings began to change.
The students standing around watching the fight could all see the air between Tang San and Tai Tan distort, rippling like a water surface, but nothing could be felt. But in that instant Tang San's expression suddenly changed, completely withdrawing a step. At the same time he immediately released his spirit.
As a pure strength type Spirit Master, the pressure Tai Tan released was naturally also based on strength. Even though it would appear he didn't use his spirit or any abilities, it seemed to give Tang San a bit of respite. At the same time he gave himself a time restriction. But in fact, facing a pure attribute Spirit Master's pressure was an extremely terrifying matter.
JoyBoy was observing everything with a smile on his face. He was happy to be able to observe the use of pressure released by a pure strength based spirit douluo like Tai Tan because he had no idea how to use abilities like pure attribute pressure from one's spirit power. Now having a front seat demonstration given to him by Tai Tan on how to use pure strength based pressure, he was satisfied.
By now, Zhao Wuji and a crowd of teachers had already come to the Academy gate led by Xiao Wu, and very quickly learned the circumstances from the surrounding students.
"Teacher Zhao, quickly go stop them!"
Xiao Wu somewhat impatiently said.
