Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 169 Yu Xiaogang, the Master of Deception; Yu Tianheng, the Wrong Path Repentant
"Huh?" Yu Tianheng was taken aback. "Uncle, do you want me to join Shrek Academy?"

"Yes."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly. "Didn't you want to learn from me the moment you met me?"
"Tianheng, come to Shrek Academy! With my theories, the faculty, and unique teaching methods of Shrek Academy, we can unlock your full potential."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes, "But, the Soul Master Competition..."

"Foolish." Yu Xiaogang said earnestly, "Think about it yourself, if the Royal Fighting Team didn't have Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing joining, would its strength be among the top three in other advanced soul master academies on the continent?"

The sect never cared whether you would get a ranking, and although the current Royal Fighting Team may be among the top teams, as you just said, you are just there to make up the numbers and have no outstanding performance.

Your family probably thinks you're just a lazy, opportunistic person who gets ahead without effort.

But with your arrival, things will be different at Shrek Academy. The Royal Battle will lose one Soul Master, while we will gain one more, which is roughly double the 'strength exchange'.

Don't forget, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also with us. You should understand the value of the number one auxiliary weapon spirit on the continent.

I'm 80% confident I can lead Shrek Academy to the finals.

Yu Tianheng was still somewhat hesitant. "Uncle, perhaps I should go and discuss it with Father?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "What's there to discuss? You suffered setbacks in the Royal Fighting Team. Dugu Bo has a strange personality and deliberately suppressed a genius like you. What future can you have if you stay there?"
Shrek Academy is the real place where you can grow. Here, you don't need to worry about anyone's opinion; you can focus solely on improving your own strength. Moreover, with me, the master, by your side, you'll definitely not go astray.

Do you know what Shrek Academy's teaching philosophy is?

"?"

"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters! Being afraid to cause trouble is a sign of mediocrity! Only with me can your timid and submissive personality be changed."

Yu Tianheng's throat bobbed. Yes, judging by the time, by the time the Soul Master Competition arrives, Shrek Academy should have several Soul Masters by then.

With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the guidance of a master like my uncle, a good ranking is within my grasp.

There's a saying that goes something like this: "Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."

At Shrek, you will shine, showcase your personal charm, and attract more attention.

"But, Dugu Yan..."

"You're being silly again!"

Yu Xiaogang sternly rebuked, "You are the owner of the top-tier beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dugu Yan is just relying on having a good grandfather and having some fortuitous encounters."

You must remember, women are always subordinate.

What is the foundation for an excellent bloodline to be passed down continuously? It is the population. Even if you win over Dugu Yan, do you think Dugu Bo would let you find other women given your circumstances?
At that time, it will not only be a personal loss for you, but also a betrayal of your family.

Once you reach the top, she'll naturally regret it!

Yu Tianheng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is?!" They, the descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, bear the heavy responsibility of passing on their bloodline.

No wonder his elders all had many wives and concubines. Grandpa Yu Luomian even went so far as to seek out women in the wild, leaving behind Aunt Erlong, his illegitimate daughter.

Although he suspected that his grandfather might have more than just Aunt Liu Erlong as an illegitimate child, he only acknowledged her because Aunt Liu Erlong's martial soul had mutated and she had great talent.

But that's not important!
Since you are the owner of a top-tier beast martial soul, you can't hang yourself on one tree. Dugu Yan, you will regret it.

You should just go and fawn over Ling Qianyao with your grandpa. What you're about to have is a whole wonderful world!

His eyes suddenly lit up. He had heard that Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai from Shrek Academy were experts in brothels. It seemed necessary to have them show him around.

“I understand, Uncle!” Yu Tianheng’s eyes were incredibly firm. “Please teach me. I will resign tomorrow.”

"Hmm~" Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, "He has come to his senses and returned to the right path. He is indeed my good nephew."

He patted Yu Tianheng's head. Yu Tianheng's eyes reddened as he couldn't help but recall the scene of Yu Xiaogang holding him and playing when he was a child.

He often regarded this uncle as a father figure.

Back then, he was very thin, and this uncle wasn't bald yet; he didn't have that deadpan face.
Looking at the care his family had shown him, and recalling his disheveled appearance during the trial just now,
Dugu Bo bullies and manipulates her, Ling Qianyao turns the tide, and Dugu Yan's glaring image of others...
Yu Tianheng immediately became much more determined. "Well, Teacher Qin Ming also left Shrek Academy, didn't he? I'm just following in his footsteps. At worst, I can just shift the blame to him."

He looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Uncle, have you considered returning to the sect? Grandpa really misses you."

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. "It's not time yet. We can't let them know I'm back."

Yu Tianheng's forehead was filled with question marks. "But aren't you with Aunt Erlong right now? Grandpa Yu Luomian should know you're back, right?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. After he came to his senses, he looked at Yu Tianheng in disbelief. How come you are so smart again now?
-
Two days later.

"Snapped--"

Dugu Bo slammed a document onto Meng Shenji's desk. "Take a look."

Meng Shenji raised an eyebrow, picking up the document as he smiled faintly, "What could possibly concern Your Majesty?"

His smile gradually faded, while Dugu Bo laughed, "Laugh, keep laughing, tsk tsk, Shrek Academy, which you originally thought was promising and wanted to recruit, has lured away another student, and an elite one at that."

"To pursue further studies under Uncle Yu Xiaogang?" Meng Shenji frowned.

Dugu Bo scoffed, "What nonsense about further studies. He's stuck at level 29, unable to break through to Soul Master in his lifetime. What can he possibly teach a Soul Master? He's just trying to poach talent, just like last time when he tried to use this place to his advantage."

Meng Shenji was speechless for a moment. He slowly put down the document in his hand, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room, his mind filled with many thoughts.

"Then, Your Majesty, what do you say?"

Dugu Bo shrugged. "So what if he's gone? It doesn't matter. The team doesn't lack damage output. Besides, this guy has activated Thunder Fury and can go berserk. With a better damage dealer, he's more likely to become an unstable factor."

"Sigh," Meng Shenji sighed, "The Royal Academy already didn't have many outstanding students, and now we've lost another one."

Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively, "It doesn't matter, it won't affect the overall situation."

Royal Fighting Team Training Ground.

After listening to Dugu Yan's story, Ling Qianyao and the others were not particularly moved, but the Shi brothers and Ye Lingling were somewhat puzzled.

Graphite scratched his head. "Is he going to Shrek Academy now? Could he have some hidden agenda?"

Ye Lingling is gentle at heart, and Yu Tianheng has indeed been in the team for a long time, so they have developed a friendship.

After hearing the news, he remained silent for a moment and then said, "Why don't we go to Shrek Academy and find him? Ask him face to face. If he insists on leaving, we can't stop him. It's a way of showing our friendship as classmates."

It's really unacceptable that they didn't even say goodbye in person.

Dugu Yan curled her lips, "Let him go if he wants to, he's such an idiot."

Ling Qianyao touched his chin and said, "Tianheng was the former captain after all. He has a long-standing friendship with Lingling and you, and we have fought side by side before."

Although he left without saying goodbye, we can't just leave like that. Let's go to Shrek Academy and ask him what he's really thinking. That would be a way of settling things down.

"Brother Ling is right. What do you think about the stone mill?"

"Yeah, brother, me too."

Dugu Yan blinked, then quickly changed her tune, "Yes, Qian Yao is right, that's what I think too."

Zhu Zhuqing squinted at Dugu Yan. Something's not right with this guy!
After consulting with Dugu Bo, the group headed towards Shrek Academy in a grand procession.
