Douluo Continent: Tang San has already taken off, and I'm only just arriving.

Chapter 22 Jade Crown Comes Knocking
Tang Hao didn't realize whether Ah Yin was a soul beast when they first met.

But as he continued to get to know him, he discovered something amiss.

Even the most reclusive noble children should have basic common sense.

Ah Yin, however, did not.

During a battle, Ah Yin consumed a large amount of soul power, revealing the aura of a soul beast, which he discovered.

At that moment, Tang Hao was overjoyed.

A 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone are the dream of any soul master.

At that time, his soul power had not yet reached level ninety, so he planned to wait until he was strong enough before trying to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring.

But in their later interactions, he gradually fell in love with this transformed soul beast.

Greed and love madly controlled his emotions, keeping him in a state of constant inner conflict.

The appearance of Qian Xunji amplified the greed in his heart.

Grandpa Tang Chen was able to overpower Qian Daoliu, so how could his grandson be inferior?

The best solution is to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring.

Given the circumstances, if he had resisted with all his might and delayed the inevitable, he could have let Ah Yin leave first.

With Ah Yin's abilities, she could easily hide once she entered the primeval forest.

But he didn't.

He went along with it and had Ah Yin sacrifice herself for him.

He succeeded.

But it's only after you lose it that you truly regret it.

Therefore, he dared not face Ah Yin, dared not face his own heart, and used alcohol to numb himself all day long.

"Ah Yin would never betray me; the mistress is my son."

Tang Hao kept repeating this sentence, and soon his eyes became firm again as he looked at Tang San with a loving expression.

"Yu Xiaogang, get out here!"

Just then, a furious voice rang out from outside Shrek Academy's gate.

"Jade Crown!"

Upon discovering that the visitor was Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Hao abandoned his plan to attack.

Severely injured and poisoned, the process of removing the poison further depleted his vital energy. Now, his cultivation level has dropped to level 91, so he avoids fighting whenever possible.

Moreover, this is their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's own family matter.

"You think you can take me for a fool?!"

With a furious roar, Liu Erlong burst out of Shrek Academy.

Time and time again, did you really think she had a good temper?

"Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex, possessed!"

Faced with his daughter's blatant defiance of the Heavenly Gang, Yu Luomian finally lost his temper.

With a roar, he activated his Martial Soul and unleashed his True Martial Soul form.

With concentrated power, he slapped Liu Erlong directly.

"Boom!"

With a dull thud, Liu Erlong crashed heavily to the ground like a cannonball.

"Yu Xiaogang, you piece of trash, don't you dare come out and see me?"

Yu Luomian completely ignored his daughter and barged into Shrek Academy.

Shrek's teachers and students also gathered together to face the approaching enemy.

"Junior Flander, may I ask why you sought out Xiao Gang, and why you attacked Erlong?"

Flander, suppressing the pressure, stepped forward to face the Jade Crown.

Behind him, Zhao Wuji, Lu Qibin, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and others were all on high alert.

"Yu Xiaogang, you coward, you've spent your whole life hiding behind others, you've always been running away..."

Yu Luomian completely ignored Flander and his group, his gaze turning dark as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was hiding in the crowd. "Yu Luomian, I don't care how you handle your family affairs, but you can't hurt these children."

At the same time, an old man's voice rang out from the sky not far away.

The person who came was none other than Dugu Bo.

Seeing Yu Luomian storming towards Shrek Academy, Dugu Bo knew she was looking for trouble. He didn't want to get involved, but remembering his promise to Tang San, he had no choice but to come.

Since they're family anyway, I have no reason to interfere no matter what happens. In this way, I'm helping Tang San once, so why not?

"Poison Douluo, I'm only targeting Yu Xiaogang."

Upon seeing Dugu Bo appear, Yu Luomian had no choice but to suppress her anger and give a reply.

Dugu Bo nodded slightly and stood aside.

"Old Poisoner, didn't you promise me you owed me three favors? My teacher is in danger, you must protect him quickly."

Seeing Dugu Bo standing aside, showing no intention of making a move, Tang San became anxious, his tone carrying a hint of command and unquestionable authority.

When you like someone, no matter how rude or reckless their actions are, or how disrespectful their words are, you still find them agreeable.

Once you dislike someone, even if they haven't done anything wrong, you'll still view them through a lens of perceived wrongdoing.

That's exactly what Dugu Bo is like now.

Upon hearing Tang San's commanding tone, he also became furious.

"I'm standing here to ensure your survival; that's already repaying your favor."

"As for protecting your useless teacher, why should I do that? That's ultimately a matter for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of cold light flashing within them.

Do you really think that Dugu Bo is some kind-hearted person?

"you……"

Tang San immediately became furious, his face flushed red, and he was panting heavily.

He felt an unprecedented humiliation.

A greater thirst for power.

But he knew that he was currently weak and needed to be patient.

Originally, Tang San felt a little guilty for taking all the immortal herbs without giving Dugu Bo a single one, and for providing him with a treatment that only addressed the symptoms, but not the root cause of the poisoning. However, this guilt completely vanished at this moment.

"Dugu Bo, you have already chosen your own path to death!"

Tang San secretly hardened his heart.

Although he hid it well, he overlooked the fact that he was facing a Title Douluo, and Dugu Bo still felt Tang San's killing intent.

"As expected, he's an ingrate!"

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo felt even more worried.

Did this kid really completely solve the poisoning problem for him and Yanyan?

He hadn't forgotten that he was the one who forcibly kidnapped Tang San back then, and at that time he couldn't help but harbor resentment.

With this in mind, Dugu Bo decided that he must find an opportunity to find out the exact answer.

His granddaughter is his last line of defense; he's willing to do anything for her.

So what if you have a powerful background?
If he was really pushed to the limit, he asked the Heavenly Dou Royal Family to help him find the location of the Haotian Sect and then went directly to the Haotian Sect to detonate the poison pearl.

Below the titled Douluo level, no one can withstand him.

"Alright, mistress."

"Senior Dugu is right, this is ultimately our own family matter."

Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to come out. His second uncle had come here in person, and he didn't know where to run to.

"Second uncle..."

"Snapped!"

Before Yu Xiaogang could say anything, Yu Luomian had already appeared in front of him and slapped him hard across the face.
