Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 172 Ling Qianyao: Come at me all at once!

"Boom——"

Liu Erlong's body crashed heavily onto a stone pillar inside the academy, causing the pillar to shatter and dust to billow up.

"Erlongmei!"

Flander, possessed by a martial spirit, arrived late and slowly helped Liu Erlong, whose body was broken and who was coughing up blood, up from the pile of rubble.

"I'm fine, Boss Fu, cough cough cough." Liu Erlong gritted his teeth and put his dislocated shoulder back in place. He first glared fiercely at Dugu Bo's direction, and then quickly turned his gaze to Yu Xiaogang.

Instead of coming directly to her side to inquire about her injuries as expected, the other party slowly walked to their side after confirming that Dugu Bo would not continue to attack. "Are you alright, Erlong? The other party is a Title Douluo. Don't be impulsive."

Liu Erlong was stunned. "Are you alright? You're coughing up blood. You told me not to be impulsive. At least say a few words to Dugu Bo to save face. Haven't you admitted that you're his woman yet?"
Her eyes immediately turned resentful.

Flander glared at him and pushed him toward Liu Erlong, saying, "Go check on Erlong's injuries, I'll take care of them."

He did not fold down the wings on his back, but looked at Dugu Bo, where seven soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—pulsated around him.

"Senior, as a Title Douluo, isn't it a bit like bullying the weak to attack a Soul Saint?"

"Tsk," Dugu Bo curled his lip in disdain, "Are you blind? This crazy woman attacked my granddaughter first."

"What, so she's not bullying the weak? I've already shown mercy by not taking her life. The rules of the Soul Master world are unacceptable if you apply double standards like this."

"This"

Flander frowned; it did seem to make sense.
He was speechless for a moment, but then Tang San spoke up, "Senior Dugu Bo, although Dean Liu attacked your granddaughter first, your granddaughter is not without fault either."

We overheard their conversation on our way here, and it was clearly Dugu Yan and Ling Qianyao who first slandered my teacher's reputation as a theoretical master.

After repeated provocations and slanders, my teacher's wife, with her fiery temper, could not tolerate their insults towards my teacher and thus took action in anger.

"It all started because of Dugu Yan and Ling Qianyao. If you're going to punish someone, you should deal with them first."

He spoke with righteous indignation, as if all the blame truly lay with Dugu Yan and the others.

Liu Erlong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yu Xiaogang beside him, "You made him shout?"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes darted around. "No, it wasn't me. I'll go talk to him about it later."

Seeing his expression, Liu Erlong's eyes darkened, and she let out a cold snort.

"What a shameless scoundrel!" Dugu Yan was already furious because her grandfather had been questioned by Tang San, and now she was even more enraged. "That so-called master's name is undeserved. We were just stating the facts. What's wrong with that?"

"It was clearly Dean Liu who was unreasonable, arbitrarily injuring people by abusing his power, and yet you're turning around and blaming us for everything!"

Ling Qianyao glanced at Tang San and said earnestly, "Tang San, now that you've heard our explanation, you should understand that Yu Xiaogang's theory isn't as powerful as it seems; he's just a fame-seeker. You..."

"Shut up!" Tang San frowned. "Ling Qianyao, I used to consider you a good friend in Soto City, but today, you publicly insulted my teacher in front of so many people. Don't blame me for treating you as an enemy."

My teacher's theories are unparalleled, unmatched by anyone. How dare you, who cannot distinguish truth from falsehood, judge them? Apologize to my teacher.

Ling Qianyao's expression turned cold.

"Hahaha," Dugu Bo laughed loudly, "Unrivaled in the world? What a boastful tone!"
Having roamed the world of Soul Masters for many years, I have seen countless geniuses and powerful figures.

"I've never seen anyone dare to so brazenly claim that their theories are unparalleled in the world. Does Yu Xiaogang's meager skill deserve such praise?"

"Hmph," Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. I didn't take Liu Erlong's life because of Yu Yuanzhen. As for you, young man, if you want to believe that bullshit theory, then believe it."

"Hmm?" Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly flickered, his gaze like that of a hawk looking towards a corner of Shrek Academy.

There stood Xiao Wu, who had just run out with Tang San and the others. Upon seeing the newcomers, she quickly ran back, her aura somewhat unstable as she moved. The current Dugu Bo was not the same Dugu Bo as before; his white hair had completely returned to its original black, and his depleted spiritual energy over the years had been fully restored.

Because of the constant torment caused by toxins, his mental strength has become increasingly resilient and acute.

Dugu Bo frowned, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

Xiao Wu's fleeting yet uniquely charming aura made him vaguely feel that something was amiss.

The spiritual energy surged towards Shrek Academy like a tidal wave, attempting to find the source of that aura.

Two seconds later, a look of shock and greed flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.

"A soul beast, a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast? Shrek Academy actually hides such a treasure!"

He was overjoyed. When Shrek Academy arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was still in the medicine garden recovering his mental strength and further enhancing his soul power with the help of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon medicine. He had not seen it beforehand.

Coming to the Heaven Dou Imperial City and risking your life to join the Soul Master Academy and participate in the Soul Master Competition as a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, what's the difference between that and suicide?
However, it doesn't matter. Although his IQ is a bit low, it doesn't affect the quality of his soul rings and soul bones.

I don't need it anymore, so I can give it to Yanzi, or use it as dowry to make that brat Qianyao obediently come to my door.

"Jie Jie Jie."

As he was thinking, a voice transmission suddenly entered his ears, "Old poisoner, I advise you not to have any designs on her."

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and looked in one direction. "Who are you? I've always done things as I pleased. You're also a Title Douluo. What, do you keep this soul beast as your pet?"

Tang Hao said calmly, "That's right. Let's put this aside for now. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also here at Shrek Academy. Do you think Sword Bone wouldn't know the identity of this soul beast?"

Even they wouldn't touch her; think carefully about the drawbacks.

"Who exactly are you?" Dugu Bo's expression turned cold.

"The splendid Haotian Hammer, the majestic Haotian Sect."

“It’s you.” Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang San. “So, he’s your son. Fine, I, Dugu Bo, will give you, Haotian Douluo, some face.”

At this moment, Tang San, still glaring angrily, looked at Yu Xiaogang as he approached and said, "Teacher, what are they like?"

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, "Xiao San, truth is always in the hands of a minority. You must trust your teacher and your father."

Tang San nodded. "That's right, my teacher and father would never harm me."

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands in a salute to Dugu Bo, saying, "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, today's events are nothing but a misunderstanding. Yu Tianheng can indeed receive better instruction from me."

Ling Qianyao scoffed, "If you're going to poach someone, then poach them. Don't make up so many excuses." He looked at Yu Tianheng, the Shattered Star Sword appearing in his hand, "Tianheng, I can't say anything if you leave the Royal Fighting Team."

But your departure without saying goodbye, and your decision to join Shrek Academy at this crucial moment before the Soul Master Competition, truly breaks my heart.

"Take my sword, shall we?"

Tang San glared angrily, "Ling Qianyao, do you think this is a place where you can run wild? Yu Tianheng is one of ours now. If you want to fight, Shrek Academy will fight to the end."

"Alright, then all of you come at me together."

Ling Qianyao pointed his sword at the Shrek Seven Devils, "I'm going to take on seven of them."

"Arrogant!" Tang San was furious. This guy didn't take him seriously at all. Did he think he was easy to beat? Did he even want to take on seven people at once?
