Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 312, Section 331: Deep Affection Between Master and Disciple (Part 2)

Yu Xiaogang recounted the details of his trip to the Spirit Hall, but of course, he omitted the fact that he had been kidnapped by Scarface and his gang.

"So, Gangzi, you made a deal with the Spirit Hall Elders' Hall to avoid disturbing the Pope and expose the falsity of your theories in exchange for a Golden Dragon Fruit," Tang San said.

"That was...that was a slander against me by the Spirit Hall, pinning baseless charges on me to seize my great theory," Yu Xiaogang retorted stiffly.

Tang San ignored him and continued, "Then you consumed the Golden Dragon Fruit, and your martial soul transformed into a Golden Sacred Dragon. However, during the transformation, your Golden Sacred Dragon was stolen by Starfire Academy through some unknown means, and your Luo Sanpao was replaced by a big spotted pig. Pfft, hahahahahaha—"

Tang San showed no respect for Gangzi and burst into laughter.

When Tang San heard that Gangzi's martial soul had evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon, he felt uncomfortable. On the one hand, he didn't want to see Gangzi turn things around. On the other hand, Tang San believed that Yu Xiaogang's flying spirit should struggle on the poverty line of level 29, preferably like a maggot, with no hope of ever turning things around.

Therefore, when Tang San heard that Yu Xiaogang's martial soul had been taken away and replaced with a big flower pig, he not only did not sympathize with Yu Xiaogang, but also couldn't help but laugh at him.

Amid the laughter, Yu Xiaogang's face grew increasingly grim and stiff. Finally, he angrily said, "Xiao San, after all that has happened to your master, don't you feel any sadness for me? Do you even have any respect for your master?"

"Gangzi, look around. There's no one around. I don't think I need to pretend anymore." Tang San sneered and said, "No, you're not even in my eyes. I don't feel sad about what happened to you. I even want to laugh."

"I went to the Spirit Hall for your sake, you can't be so heartless!" Yu Xiaogang clutched his chest, heartbroken, and immediately resorted to moral blackmail.

"Yu Xiaogang, don't pretend you're doing this for my own good. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? You're only thinking of yourself. You went to the Spirit Hall this time to ask Bibi Dong for the Twin Spirit Cultivation Method so I could cultivate, right?" Tang San said sarcastically. "And you were bribed by the people from the Hall of Offerings with a Golden Dragon Fruit. It's clear that in your eyes, your own spirit evolution is more important than my Twin Spirit Cultivation, isn't it?"

“Xiao San, that’s not what I meant,” Yu Xiaogang quickly said.

"Hmph, that's what you mean." Tang San said, "You haven't taught me anything, you couldn't even find me the cultivation method for twin martial souls. It seems I have to re-evaluate our relationship."

After saying that, Tang San turned and left. Yu Xiaogang hurriedly stepped forward and tried to hug Tang San, but Tang San kicked him away.

Tang San left decisively. He could deduce a lot from the conversation.

First of all, the fact that the people in the Offering Hall were willing to use the Golden Dragon Fruit to bribe Yu Xiaogang means that Gangzi's relationship with Bibi Dong is still intact, and this chamber pot can still be used.

Therefore, Tang San's actions just now were a form of manipulation against Yu Xiaogang, making him put in more effort to maintain their master-disciple relationship, thereby exploiting Yu Xiaogang's relationship with Bibi Dong to provide him with protection in the upcoming Soul Master Competition. Then, incidentally, after the Soul Master Competition, he could simply kick Yu Xiaogang to the curb.

Secondly, Xinghuo Academy is also a place worth paying attention to. They actually have the ability to strip away martial souls. Could it be that all their martial souls, which originally belonged to nobles, came from this?

Hmph, Starfire Academy actually used such evil means to disrupt the order of the Soul Master world. It seems that I, the future God King Tang San, need to set things right for Douluo Continent. A resolute look flashed in Tang San's eyes, as if some mission was attached to him.

Our Tang San manipulated Yu Xiaogang into making sacrifices for him, but little did he know that our Gangzi was an extremely self-centered person. How could he possibly accept someone else's manipulation?
After Tang San left, Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San's departing figure with sorrow, then a glint of determination and unwavering resolve flashed in his eyes:

"Little San, you have no respect for your teacher at all. A teacher for a day is a father for life. I am your father too. How could you do this? There are no parents who are wrong. Even if I took the Golden Dragon Fruit, it was so that I would be stronger to protect you in the future. Why don't you understand my good intentions? You won't even call me teacher. No, it seems I have an obligation to teach you to respect your teachers."

By this time, the series of misfortunes had twisted Yu Xiaogang's heart. In his pursuit of success, he became ruthless and unscrupulous. But even with such methods, he lacked real strength. He lacked hard power, but he possessed soft power. Moral blackmail was his forte. He devised a plan to use every means possible to bind Tang San to his side, to bind him to his name, ensuring that the title of "Master" would forever weigh heavily on Tang San's head, forever and ever.
(So, the Indian wanted to manipulate Yu Xiaogang to protect himself and then dump him, while the Tang San wanted to bind Tang San to himself through moral blackmail. What a deep bond between master and disciple!)
After the teams from the Tian Dou and Xing Luo regions arrived at the Spirit Hall, they were stationed in different areas. Instead of starting the competition immediately after their arrival, all teams stayed overnight for three days before the competition officially began.

In the middle of the night, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue came to find Huo Qiqiang.

"What are your plans for the upcoming matches?" Bibi Dong asked.

Huo Qiqiang said, "As the saying goes, to praise someone, you must first suppress them. It's not good to keep suppressing Tang San all the time. So, for the next competition, you should divide these teams into two groups. Put the strong teams, such as your Spirit Hall Golden Team, Spark Team, Tianshui Team, and Wind and Fire Team, in one competition area, and let them eventually be eliminated until only your Spirit Hall Golden Team and Spark Team are left."

"As for Shrek Academy, let them make their way to the semifinals without any obstacles," Huo Qiqiang said.

"So, you mean you don't want Shrek Academy to have a chance to take revenge on the Wind and Fire Team and the Skywater Team?" Qian Renxue asked.

Kenneth Fok nodded.

"So, let Shrek's first match be just an appetizer. Let them practice against the Star Luo Royal Team first. After that, let's put all the weak teams that should have been eliminated in this match on Shrek's side."

“We’ll make the arrangements right away,” Bibi Dong said.

After saying this, Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue left.
