Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 114 Liu Erlong, the Soul Master Competition is about to begin

"Two...two dragons?!"

Yu Xiaogang froze, and the half-moldy bread in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, covered in mud.

As the killing corner of the Golden Iron Triangle, Liu Erlong's eyebrows and eyes are still as sharp as ever, but the corners of her eyes seem to have a few more traces of time.

The voluptuous figure beneath that blue cloth dress, and the eyes filled with shock and heartache, all served as a reminder to him.

The visitor was none other than Liu Erlong, whom he had been trying to avoid at all costs.

"No, it's not me, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly lowered his head, wiped his face haphazardly with his dirty sleeve, trying to cover the mud on his face, and staggered as he turned to try to disappear into the depths of the alley.

"Xiao Gang! Stop right there!"

Liu Erlong was not about to let him go. In the blink of an eye, she caught up with him and grabbed Yu Xiaogang's tattered sleeve.

"How could I mistake you? Even if you turned to ashes, I would still recognize you! Look at yourself now, what have you been through?!"

Yu Xiaogang was held so tightly by her that he couldn't move and could only stand there awkwardly, not daring to look her in the eye.

Liu Erlong walked around to face him, and looking at his sunken eyes, chapped lips, and filth all over his body, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Who drove you to this?! Tell me, and I'll avenge you!"

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Yu Xiaogang decided to give up entirely, his face showing a mixture of grief and indignation, and he began to complain in a choked voice.

"Who else could it be?! Heaven Dou Royal Academy, of course!"

He deliberately raised his voice, his tone filled with resentment.

"All I wanted to do was try to secure resources for my disciples, but they couldn't tolerate us! They accused me of tarnishing the academy's reputation and kicked me out!"

Although everyone in Tiandou City knew why he was kicked out, it was still easy to fool the love-struck Liu Erlong.

Yu Xiaogang portrayed himself as a victim, weeping and wailing.

"They not only kicked me out, but also spread rumors that my master and I were ungrateful. Now no one in the entire Tiandou City is willing to take us in!"

"I spent all the subsidies from the Spirit Hall to treat my mistress, and now I can't even afford to eat..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the half-eaten piece of bread on the ground that had been carried away by a wild dog.

"Erlong, look! Now I can only fight with wild dogs for food! The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and Flander are utterly heartless!"

"What?! Flander was involved too?!"

Liu Erlong was a hot-tempered person who was extremely protective of Yu Xiaogang, and she listened to his tearful accusations.

At that moment, he couldn't distinguish right from wrong; a surge of anger rushed to his head, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"They've gone too far! What are the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy anyway? How dare they bully my Xiao Gang like this!"

She turned abruptly and stormed out of the alley.

"No way! I have to go to the Education Commission and argue with them, make them apologize to you, and compensate you for your losses!"
Let's confront Flander again and see if that opportunistic scoundrel's heart is truly black!

Yu Xiaogang was terrified when he saw this; he knew Liu Erlong's temper well.

If I let her go, my embellished lies might be exposed on the spot, and I'd be even more embarrassed.

He quickly grabbed Liu Erlong: "Erlong! Don't go!"

"Why aren't you going?!" Liu Erlong turned around, his anger still burning.

"It's no use you going now!"

Yu Xiaogang, quick-witted, started playing the emotional card.

"The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is backed by the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, which has immense power. Wouldn't it be a loss for you to go alone?"

"You're only a Soul Saint now. Their academy has Soul Douluo level experts. If you go there, you'll only get bullied!"

He invoked the strength of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee, attempting to discourage Liu Erlong from taking action.

Hearing this, Liu Erlong was still angry, but she also understood the gap between reality and reality, and stomped her foot angrily.

"What should we do then? Are we just going to let it go like this?"

Seeing that she had calmed down, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say a few more words of comfort.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Oh right, Xiao Gang, I almost forgot, I also have my own academy!"

A proud look appeared on her face. "It's a high-level Soul Master academy called Blue Tyrant Academy. Since no one dares to accept you, then come back with me and join Blue Tyrant Academy!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up instantly when he heard the words "Advanced Academy".

His eyes, which had been dimmed by hunger and desperation, regained their luster. He was now penniless and desperate, and Liu Erlong's invitation was a godsend.

But he was concerned about his image, especially in front of Liu Erlong, and didn't want to appear too humble.

He cleared his throat, pretending to be deep in thought, and after a moment he reluctantly nodded.

"Since it's your academy, that's fine. Tang San and Xiao Wu do need a suitable place to continue their training."

He paused, straightened his originally hunched back, and put on a serious expression, speaking with conviction.

"But Erlong, don't worry. I'm going to Blue Tyrant Academy to be a teacher, and I will use my own abilities to secure cultivation resources for Xiaosan."

He deliberately emphasized the word "old," trying to preserve his last remaining dignity.

"Although I, Yu Xiaogang, am now down on my luck, I have never stopped researching the theory of Soul Masters."

I am confident that I can teach the students well and contribute to Blue King Academy.

I won't accept your help for nothing; I will prove myself with my own abilities.

Looking at his efforts to maintain the air of a theoretical master, Liu Erlong felt both sorry for him and amused.

She wouldn't expose him; she simply nodded gently.

"Alright, I know you're capable. Come on, take your disciples and come with me for a good meal, then we'll go back to Blue Tyrant Academy."

Yu Xiaogang nodded emphatically, thinking to himself.

"Hmph, Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you just wait. Under my tutelage, Xiao San will definitely become the strongest."

Under my guidance, Blue Tyrant Academy will also shine brightly in the upcoming All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies!

"You'll regret it then!"

Soon, under Liu Erlong's arrangement, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu successfully joined Blue Tyrant Academy.

As the dean, Liu Erlong generously arranged the best dormitories for Yu Xiaogang and the others.

Xiao Wu and she hit it off immediately, and the two went out to whisper to each other.

Only Tang San and Yu Xiaogang remained in the room.

“Xiao San,” Yu Xiaogang sighed heavily, his wrinkles etched with weariness and regret, “if you had listened to my advice and challenged for the Oscars, things wouldn’t have come to this!”

Tang San lowered his head and remained silent.

He knew better than anyone that if he followed the teacher's plan, even if he was infamous, he wouldn't have to resort to fighting with stray dogs for food.

At that moment, his respect for Yu Xiaogang deepened even further.

“Teacher, I know I was wrong.” He said firmly, “From now on, I will follow your instructions.”

When Yu Xiaogang saw that Tang San was listening to his arrangements again, he finally felt relieved.

"Don't worry, Xiao San, there are still more than half a year before the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. In this half year, you will have enough time to regroup."

Then we'll show those short-sighted fools what a true genius is!

However, Tang San's next words put him in a dilemma.

"Teacher, my soul power is too low right now. So I want to add a soul ring to my second martial soul so that my soul power can catch up with theirs!"

During this period, Tang San reflected on his defeat against Osro and finally came to a conclusion.

Your soul power is too low!
When his hidden weapon was revealed, his weak soul power was simply no match for a fair fight.

Upon hearing this, a dark, calculating glint flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

What's wrong with attaching a few low-level spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer first?
Anyway, we can just absorb the remaining ten-thousand-year soul rings later.

With Bibi Dong's method for creating twin martial souls, there shouldn't be any problem with Xiao San adding soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Furthermore, Tang Hao, you turn a blind eye to the tragic experiences of me and my mistress, so don't blame me for teaching my mistress a lesson in my own way!
"Ahem." Yu Xiaogang coughed a few times and nodded. "Since you insist on this, I will grant your request. With Erlong by your side, obtaining a soul ring will not be difficult, and cultivation resources will be even less of a problem."

A glint of predatory light suddenly flashed in Tang San's eyes, and his fingernails dug deeply into his palms as he clasped his hands together: "This disciple will never fail my teacher's expectations!"

In the time that followed, whether it was the "No Thieves Under Heaven" group or the "Golden Generation"...

All participating teams are preparing intensively for the upcoming Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies, all eager to make a name for themselves.

Just a few days before the start of the Soul Master Competition, Tianxia Wuzei returned to the Spirit Hall with the traitors and their accomplices.

Looking at the bustling Wuhun City, Tianxia Wuzei felt somewhat unfamiliar.

"Returning to the Spirit Hall after more than a year!"
