Chapter 56: Yu Xiaogang's Confidence
"Take me with you?"
Tang San was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Tang Hao's haggard appearance and the intention to take Xiao San away as soon as he appeared, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel suspicious. So, he asked, "Tang Hao, what's going on? What happened?"
"When Chrysanthemum Douluo took away the soul beast in human form, I pursued it, intending to capture the soul beast alive and leave it for Xiao San to use when he enters the Title Douluo realm in the future. However, I didn't expect to be ambushed by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. My body sustained injuries again."
Tang Hao covered his chest, seemingly feeling his blood surging once more. After a pause, he continued, "My old injuries haven't completely healed, and now with the new ones, plus what happened that night..."
Tang Hao went on to reveal the incident of selling Su Yun.
"So, that kid, to save his life, will probably expose Xiao San's identity as a twin martial soul. When that happens, the Martial Soul Hall will undoubtedly come back to confirm Xiao San's identity."
"I must take Xiao San away immediately. Master, you should come with us."
Tang San, hearing that his father Tang Hao was a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, was left stunned. He hadn't expected that his father, who often didn't cook, took care of others, and only knew how to forge, would have such formidable strength!
Seeing Tang Hao's regretful expression upon hearing about nearly capturing Xiao Wu, Tang San asked, "Dad, why do we need to leave?"
Tang San was puzzled, "We haven't committed any crimes. Why should we fear the Martial Soul Hall?"
Tang San couldn't understand. Even if his father, Tang Hao, contended with the Martial Soul Hall for soul rings, they shouldn't easily target a Title Douluo, right?
"Because you have a twin martial soul and are also my son. This means the Martial Soul Hall won't easily let you go!" Tang Hao stared into Tang San's eyes, as if there were countless untold stories hidden in his gaze, enunciating each word.
Although Tang San didn't hear his father reveal everything, he chose to trust Tang Hao.
Tang San looked at his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, and said, "Teacher, come with us. Otherwise, if the Martial Soul Hall people come back, they won't give you face."
While speaking, Tang San couldn't help but recall what Chrysanthemum Douluo did to him and his teacher that day. He felt a surge of anger and vowed that when he became a Title Douluo in the future, he would make Chrysanthemum Douluo pay the same price!
However, faced with Tang San's suggestion, Yu Xiaogang smiled and said, "It's okay. The Martial Soul Hall won't lay hands on me."
"Why?" Tang San asked in confusion.
Seated on a stool, Yu Xiaogang took out a token. It was none other than the token given to him by Tang Hao, and he confidently said, "This token represents an elder of the Martial Soul Hall, second only to the current Pope's authority. Last time, when Chrysanthemum Douluo attacked me like that, I'm sure it was because he was afraid I would present the token first. In front of this token, unless the Pope personally comes, no one can touch me."
"According to common sense, that's indeed the case."
Tang Hao said in a deep voice, "But Master, you must understand. They came here for me and Xiao San. Once we leave, you will undoubtedly become their only clue to find us."
"I'm sure they already know Xiao San's twin martial soul identity. To prevent them from targeting you, we need to leave quickly. Even though you have this token, I don't think they will let you go just because of it."
The token was indeed useful, but it also depended on who held it.
In the hands of a Title Douluo, it represented authority.
However, in the hands of a Soul Master who wasn't even a Soul Ancestor, it was not even worth a brick.
Tang Hao had always believed in the supremacy of strength. He thought that such a token could only fool lower-level Soul Masters. In the realm of Title Douluo, strength was the only language!
"You don't need to worry about me. Just leave as soon as possible. I once had an old acquaintance in the Martial Soul Hall. As long as she intervenes, even those elders won't dare to casually lay hands on me. Besides, I'm also from one of the Biggest Three Sects. If they act against me, won't it be a slap in the face of the Biggest Three Sects?" {Please correct me here if i am wrong as i cant find appropriate translation. }
Yu Xiaogang chuckled, "The Biggest Three Sects share a common bond. If I were to encounter any trouble, I believe both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would certainly take action against the Martial Soul Hall."
The relationship between the Martial Soul Hall and the Biggest Three Sects had always been in a relatively balanced state.
Yu Xiaogang believed that being the legitimate heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even if the Martial Soul Hall was fierce, they wouldn't dare to completely ignore the consequences of confronting his sect. {Bro is delulu fr}
"In that case, I'll take Xiao San with me first. If there's a chance in the future, I'll bring him to see you." Seeing that Yu Xiaogang insisted on staying, Tang Hao didn't say more. He thought that perhaps Yu Xiaogang really had a way to temporarily hold off the pursuers from the Martial Soul Hall.
"Teacher, my dad and I will leave first. We will definitely come back to see you in the future."
Tang San knew that once they left, it might be a long time before they could return. So, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yu Xiaogang, who nodded slightly, feeling that he had gained an excellent disciple.
Yu Xiaogang handed a notebook he had written to Tang San, saying earnestly, "In the future, when I'm not around, and your father guides your cultivation, you can rely on this book. It contains my insights into soul cultivation and theories on Soul Master battles. If you don't understand anything, you can ask your father."
Tang San took the thick notebook back under the moonlight and nodded solemnly, "Rest assured, Teacher. When I become a Title Douluo in the future, I will make Chrysanthemum Douluo apologize to you!"
"Good!" Yu Xiaogang was very pleased. He was glad he had accepted such an outstanding disciple.
Not long after, Tang Hao took Tang San and left the Notting Academy.
As time passed, it became evening.
The moon shone like a silver plate, and stars scattered sparsely across the sky.
After having dinner at the cafeteria, Yu Xiaogang left under the disdainful gazes of others.
Now that many people knew that Yu Xiaogang's theories were mostly plagiarized from the Martial Soul Hall, the slight respect they had for him earlier vanished.
As for why he hadn't left the Notting Academy, it was because he had signed a contract with the academy. Until the next contract signing, even the dean wouldn't find a reason to kick him out.
"I wonder where Tang Hao will take Xiao San?" Yu Xiaogang looked up at the moon, murmuring to himself.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As Yu Xiaogang walked back to his room, a series of breaking wind sounds suddenly echoed in his ears.
Dozens of figures appeared abruptly in front of him.
When Yu Xiaogang saw the two people standing in front of him, his heart shook!
Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan!
Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei!
It was unexpectedly two Title Douluo who had arrived!
Yu Xiaogang (Shen Teng Lion Roar Art + One Yang Finger appearance): "If you have the guts, come and fight me!"
