"Senior Dugu, let's add another spark," Huo Yuhao said calmly as he returned to Dugu Bo's side.

Looking at Tang Hao, who was hiding in a corner and planning a sneak attack, as detected by his mental detection, he couldn't help but sigh, "Tang Hao really knows how to endure."

Chapter 303 arouses Tang Hao's suspicion of Tang San.

304.

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he aroused the vigilance and anxiety of everyone at Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red and then turned pale. After glancing at Tang San, he made up his mind to speak again.

"Even if you're not from the Spirit Hall, that token is still an elder's token of the Spirit Hall. Seeing the token is like seeing an elder of the Spirit Hall. If you dare to harm us, the Spirit Hall will not let you off!"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but glance at Yu Xiaogang, whose shamelessness was truly eye-opening.

In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang used this Elder's Token to meet Bibi Dong, and then shamelessly asked Bibi Dong for the cultivation method of twin martial souls to train Tang San, thus becoming Bibi Dong's enemy.

Today they're trying to use the Spirit Hall to bully him again—

Is the Spirit Hall a pacifier for these people? They drag it out to cheer them on when they want to raise their banner, and then drag it out to whip its corpse when they want to occupy the moral high ground.

"Tang San, he's Tang Hao's son, right? You're using the Spirit Hall's token to protect their enemies, Yu Xiaogang, what were you thinking? I'm very curious. There aren't many geniuses as creative as you in the world."

"As expected of a master, he can easily come up with strategies that others can't! Truly—brilliant! Wise!"

Huo Yuhao looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, praising him sincerely, which seemed very genuine.

Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted between anger and humiliation. How could he not hear Huo Yuhao's sarcastic tone? Especially since Huo Yuhao was using his most prized title of "Master" to mock him!

"Young man! Don't push your luck. I advise you to behave yourself. Since you know Tang San is the son of the Jade Emperor, aren't you afraid of the Jade Emperor's revenge? Dugu Bo alone can't stop the Jade Emperor!" Yu Xiaogang said angrily.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, ignoring Yu Xiaogang, and turned to look at Zhang Lexuan, who was watching quietly to the side, "Senior Sister, do you see this? This is the Master."

Zhang Lexuan frowned, her eyes filled with disappointment, and said softly, "I thought the master who created the ten major theories of martial spirits in the records was a wise man, but..."

Zhang Lexuan paused, and the rest of her words were self-evident.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised. Could the Ten Theories of Martial Souls really be described as "creative"? It seemed he hadn't read enough books and didn't know how distorted history had become.

He reminded her, "Sister Lexuan, the Ten Theories of Martial Souls were not created by him. He merely summarized common sense and knowledge from the Martial Soul Hall library and published it as his own theory. Strictly speaking, he copied them all."

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, her disappointment with the founder of Shrek Academy growing even stronger.

She grew up at Shrek Academy and still had feelings for the academy. The true face of the academy's founder made it difficult for her, as a junior, to speak.

Huo Yuhao noticed Zhang Lexuan's change in mood and said softly, "Sister Lexuan, you should investigate more in the future. After you understand the specific situation, you will only be more disappointed in them."

Then, Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice to Dugu Bo: "Senior Dugu, expose a weakness in Tang Hao so that he can make a move."

Now that Zhang Lexuan has seen through some of the true nature of Shrek Academy's founder and planted a seed of doubt in her heart, Huo Yuhao no longer needs to dawdle.

All that time wasted for this.

Zhang Lexuan will be his spokesperson in the Douluo Continent I world from now on, and when people from Shrek Academy come to the Douluo Continent II world, they will most likely be guided by her.

Therefore, her attitude towards the founder of Shrek Academy is crucial, as it will determine how future students will treat them.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's telepathic message, Dugu Bo remained unmoved, and his poisonous mist immediately enveloped the Shrek Academy students. Meanwhile, Tang Hao, unable to contain himself any longer, was about to make a move when he heard his eldest son, Tang San, angrily shout in frustration:

"I never imagined I'd die today from such a trashy poison technique. This technique not only turns the practitioner into a grotesque, inhuman being, but also brings misfortune to future generations; it's utterly garbage. To die at the hands of such trash is truly unfortunate. If I had time, I could easily break this trashy poison technique. But it doesn't matter, Dugu Bo, you'll only suffer more than me. In the future, you will surely die from the corrosive effects of countless poisons, and your descendants will also suffer the torment of deadly poisons. For a dignified Poison Douluo to be poisoned to death by himself is enough to make him a laughingstock for ten thousand years."

Are there any experts?

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao turned to look at Tang San, who was staring coldly at Dugu Bo, seemingly resigned to his fate. Although he concealed it well, Huo Yuhao could still see the wisdom and confidence hidden in his eyes.

Tang San probably thought that he could move Dugu Bo with these words, or at least delay Tang Hao's rescue.

But did he know that he had already cured Dugu Bo's poison? And Tang Hao, who was desperately seeking help, had been watching from the sidelines like a sixth brother?

Dugu Bo was amused by Tang San's words, his face ashen. "You say my poison skills are trash? It's just a pity that you're going to die today from such poison skills. As for your claim that I would poison myself to death, that's even more impossible. How could I, the dignified Poison Douluo, poison myself to death?"

Tang San coldly said, "How is it impossible? Then let me ask you, do you experience a tingling and itchy sensation in your ribs whenever it's cloudy or rainy, and does it gradually intensify? Does it occur once at noon and once at midnight, and each time last for more than an hour? And every night, around the third watch of the night, do you experience needle-like stabbing pains on the top of your head and the soles of your feet? And do you have spasms all over your body for at least half an hour?"

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted, and he looked at Huo Yuhao with a questioning look in his eyes. Why was he using your words?

Huo Yuhao looked innocent, blinked, and said, "I was here first, so he must have copied me!"

Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Tang San felt much more at ease and confident. He said calmly, "Dugu Bo, kill me if you want. I won't save you anyway. A person like you is nothing but a menace in this world. If I save you, I'll only be aiding and abetting evil."

Dugu Bo looked at Tang San with a strange expression. To be honest, he had never heard of such a request in his entire life.

He immediately spoke in a sinister tone, "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Tang San panicked. This was not what he had expected. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Dugu Bo, can you bear to watch your descendants die from being poisoned by countless toxins?"

"Of course, the descendants of Senior Dugu wouldn't die from being poisoned to the core. But you, spouting alarmist rhetoric, think you can get Senior Dugu to let you off the hook? In this world, no one understands poison better than Senior Dugu. In his eyes, you're nothing but a joke. At your age of twelve or thirteen, do you even know what poison is? Poison skills are a discipline that requires time to accumulate and be passed down. What have you accumulated? What have you inherited? How dare you think you understand poison better than Senior Dugu?"

Huo Yuhao questioned Tang San with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally digging a pit for Tang San.

Tang San glanced at Huo Yuhao with disdain in his eyes and said indifferently, "You're just a frog in a well. Dugu Bo's poison skills are nothing special in my eyes. Give me time, and I can easily break through them."

Huo Yuhao showed no anger and said with a smile, "Then tell me, if the method you proposed is really feasible, I can guarantee, and Senior Dugu can also guarantee, that we will not kill you or your friends and teachers today."

Tang San hesitated.

"This is your last chance," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, and then used his mental power to knock Oscar unconscious behind Tang San.

"Little Oscar!" Tang San exclaimed, turning around to check on Oscar's condition. His eyes were bloodshot, but when he turned back, he had concealed the killing intent in his eyes and calmly said, "Okay, but you have to swear an oath first!"

"Okay." Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile, and then swore an oath to Dugu Bo.

Then, Tang San began to talk at length about how he had broken Dugu Bo's poison technique, intentionally or unintentionally stalling for time and waiting for Tang Hao's rescue.

But what he didn't know was that Tang Hao was hiding in the courtyard, looking at his good son with suspicion, and hesitated to make a move.

Chapter 304: Tang San and Tang Hao – A Loving Father and Filial Son

305.

Tang San's method for breaking Dugu Bo's poison technique was nine parts true and one part false. If Dugu Bo had actually followed his method, he would have certainly died a terrible death.

Huo Yuhao used his mental power to point out the traps that Tang San had deliberately left for Dugu Bo one by one, causing Dugu Bo's emerald green eyes to fill with a chilling intent as he looked at Tang San.

Just as Tang San was about to finish speaking, Huo Yuhao used his mental power to transmit his instructions to Dugu Bo again, "Senior Dugu, next you do this..."

After Tang San finished explaining all the solutions, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that his good father, Tang Hao, had not yet arrived.

Then, he looked calmly at Dugu Bo and said, "I've finished speaking. Can you let us go now?"

Dugu Bo said coldly, "Of course I can. I didn't originally intend to kill you. I was just doing this for someone else. I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."

Tang San frowned. "What do you mean?"

Dugu Bo ignored him and turned to face Tang Hao's hiding place, saying calmly, "Tang Hao, you can come out now. You've successfully completed the task of asking me to test your son. Remember, you owe me a favor."

Tang San looked in that direction with a look of surprise and doubt. A moment later, a figure appeared in the darkness. The figure was wearing tattered clothes and looked slovenly, but his eyes were sharp. Wasn't this his good father, Tang Hao?

But if he was already here, why didn't he show up sooner? Could it really be as Dugu Bo said, that his good father had seen through something and was testing him?

Tang San felt a chill in his heart, and an uncontrollable killing intent was brewing within him.

His greatest secret was that he had been reborn through possession. Moreover, his situation was that he had killed Tang Hao's son. If Tang Hao really saw through his origins, then they would be enemies!

[The third principle of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Once you've identified your opponent as an enemy, if they're determined to kill you, show no mercy. Otherwise, you'll only create more trouble for yourself.]

Tang Hao's decision to send an outsider to test his own son is clearly a suicidal move.

Tang Hao glanced at Tang San indifferently, then turned his sharp gaze to Dugu Bo, his expression grave. "Dugu Bo, what do you mean?"

Dugu Bo asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that you felt something was off about your son since he was little, so you asked me to help you test him and see if he really is your son?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San lowered his eyelids, concealing the murderous intent in his eyes.

As expected, Dugu Bo was sent by Tang Hao to test him!

Tang Hao's eyes flashed with coldness, but he still didn't make a move. Instead, he walked to Tang San's side, patted his head, and said in a deep voice:

“Xiao San, I have never doubted you. Your martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass. There is no doubt that you are my child. As for what Dugu Bo said, that was just his way of trying to sow discord between my father and me.”

"Dad, you don't need to say anything, I believe you! Dugu Bo has been so provoking us, you can't let him get away with this!" Tang San suppressed the killing intent in his eyes, his eyes showing emotion, but his heart was ice-cold.

If Dugu Bo wasn't sent by Tang Hao, how would he know about Dugu Bo's unusual childhood?

Since his strength is still weak, he'll feign compliance with Tang Hao for now. If Tang Hao truly treats him sincerely and acknowledges him as his father, then if Tang Hao tries to harm him, then Tang Hao shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Tang Hao's eyes showed relief, and he seemed very satisfied with Tang San's answer.

Huo Yuhao watched this scene of fatherly love and filial piety with a smile, showing no disappointment at their behavior.

In his view, Tang Hao might not care whether Tang San was possessed or not because of his desire for revenge, but Tang San himself might not care.

Given Tang San's personality, as long as a seed of doubt is planted in his heart, it will naturally grow into a towering tree.

As for whether Tang San will turn against Tang Hao in the future, it ultimately depends on his actions.

In the original novel, Tang San had just become Yu Xiaogang's disciple and said, "Once a teacher, always a father," but in the blink of an eye, he wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang. This shows that the father-son relationship was not that important to him.

Tang San is, in the end, a sophisticated egoist.

Huo Yuhao's move this time was merely a casual one.
