Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 241, Page 260: Ah San, we all support you.

Flander said to Yu Xiaogang, "Gangzi, you really did something wrong. Tang San's strength is not enough to convince everyone. It's one thing that he didn't lose to Yu Tianheng in the competition, but he lost to Yu Tianheng in the bet that whoever wins will be the captain, and he doesn't even admit it. And yet you still let him be the captain. Aren't you just exacerbating the internal conflicts? It would be better if the Shrek team could be harmonious."

Flander was full of confidence in this year's Shrek Academy team. They had three Soul Kings, and the rest of the team members were all at least Soul Masters. In previous Soul Master Tournaments, as long as there was one Soul King, the team was basically a favorite to win the championship, let alone having three.

However, behind Shrek Academy's strength, Flander also vaguely sensed a crisis: there was an underlying conflict between Yu Tianheng, Erming, and Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and others, which seemed to have been caused by Xiao Wu.

If this conflict is not handled properly, it could cause Shrek to miss out on a victory that is within their grasp, which puts Flander in a very difficult position.

The most important thing for these teachers right now is to mend the internal conflicts within Shrek Academy. However, Yu Xiaogang's decision in Flanders not only did not help Shrek Academy to unite, but on the contrary, it further tore apart the relationships within Shrek Academy.

"I...I'm doing this for Shrek's good. Tianheng is just impulsive and reckless. He shouldn't be in the captain's position," Yu Xiaogang said, sticking out his neck.

Flander said, "Your assessment is too arbitrary. Don't forget that Tianheng served as the captain of the Royal Fighting Team for a period of time."

"So what? I've never had any children. Xiao San is like my child. I hope he can shine brightly in this competition. That's my only wish. Flander, you've already taken away my Liu Erlong and had a child. Can't you grant me this small wish?" Yu Xiaogang, with red eyes, morally interrogated Flander. In order to make Tang San the captain, Yu Xiaogang directly resorted to moral blackmail.

When this matter was mentioned, Flander felt a deep sense of guilt towards Yu Xiaogang. He said, "Alright, Gangzi, then let Tang San continue to be the captain."

Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of relief. He could also sense the internal conflict within Shrek Academy. When Tang San was chosen as the captain two years ago, the teachers at Shrek Academy had basically no objections.

Because apart from Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng being relatively old, the others are basically on the same level.

But who could have predicted that the Shrek team would change so much in the past two years?
To put it simply, the Shrek Academy members were in a sprint race. With a starting signal, Yu Tianheng, Xiao Wu, and Er Ming were the first to charge ahead, followed closely by Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, while Tang San was at the very back.

Tang San's progress is actually quite good, but it's still not enough compared to the other members of Shrek Academy.

This made Yu Xiaogang anxious, because in the end, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was really useless (that's right, Yu Xiaogang didn't think that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was ruined by the poison attribute, and that the reason it could cultivate so fast was entirely due to the Mysterious Heaven Skill).
However, an awkward problem arises: Tang San, the worst-performing member of the team, becomes their captain. How could Shrek Academy not have internal conflicts?

Flander, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong and other teachers had ideas to replace the team leader, but Yu Xiaogang rejected them all by using moral blackmail.

Tang San is indeed extraordinary, but if you conceal his other spirit, he's just a minor Spirit Master of Blue Silver Grass. In this Continental Spirit Master Tournament, if Tang San isn't the captain and can't decide the lineup, then Yu Tianheng, or another captain, might relegate him to a substitute. How could Yu Xiaogang allow this? Tang San is his chance to make a name for himself; this Spirit Master Tournament will be crucial for both Tang San's rise to fame and his own. Yu Xiaogang absolutely cannot allow Tang San to remain unknown in this tournament.

Therefore, for the sake of his own fame, even if Tang San's appointment as captain would lead to numerous internal conflicts within the Shrek Academy team, Yu Xiaogang would still insist on keeping Tang San in the captain's position.

The questioning gazes from Ning Rongrong, Erming, and the others made Tang San feel uneasy, and he knew that his current strength was not enough to convince everyone.

However, Tang San didn't want to see Xiao Wu using her Martial Soul Fusion Skill intimately with someone else. In order to prevent Yu Tianheng's evil scheme from succeeding, Tang San had no choice but to bite the bullet and become the captain.

Dai Mubai put his hand on Tang San's shoulder and said, "Ah San, don't worry about it. In our hearts, you will always be the soul of the Shrek Seven Devils."

Oscar also placed his hand on Tang San's shoulder and said, "Yes, Tang San, the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, we only recognize you."

Ma Hongjun also placed his hand on Tang San's shoulder and said, "Yu Tianheng is nothing but a stinky dragon. He dares to compete with you, Tang San, for Xiao Wu. He's simply overestimating himself."

Tailong also placed one hand on Tang San's shoulder and said, "Young Master, it's just that you haven't cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer. Otherwise, what right would that bastard Yu Tianheng have to be arrogant in front of you?"

"Thank you, everyone," Tang San said emotionally. Then, he asked a question he had wanted to ask for the past two years, but had not asked out of consideration for their relationship: "Er Ming, Xiao Wu, and Yu Tianheng have martial soul fusion skills in their cultivation, but why are you cultivating so fast even without immortal-grade martial souls?"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Tailong's expressions hardened. Finally, they couldn't avoid this question. In order to gain Tang San's trust and work for Xiao Wu, they had to give a reason that could convince Tang San without revealing their private relationship with Xiao Wu.

Dai Mubai stepped forward first, his expression grave, and said, "Ah San, you know my identity. I was born to compete with my brother, and only one of us can survive the competition in the future. But in this life, Zhu Zhuqing has left me. Originally, I pinned my hopes on your immortal grade, but an accident happened at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. In order to survive, I can only put in two hundred times more effort in my cultivation than usual." (Dai Mubai's heart was already filled with Xiao Wu, and he had long forgotten Zhu Zhuqing, but in order to persuade Tang San, he could only bring up this person he had forgotten for so long.)
Tang San nodded. Dai Mubai's reasoning was indeed convincing. Regardless of whether he had a second chance at life, his most direct threat was the competition for the Star Luo throne, so Dai Mubai had to work hard.

Tang San said, "Mu Bai, don't worry, we support you. When the competition comes in the future, we will definitely help you win this fateful battle."

　I need to adjust for the next few days. Three days ago, I went to the hospital because of dizziness. A CT scan showed a shadow in my brain, and I also had an MRI, which suggested a possible meningioma or something else. I've scheduled a contrast-enhanced MRI for tomorrow to confirm everything. If it's nothing serious, I can resume my regular updates.
