Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 155 Tang San: Senior, would you dare to make a bet with me?

Night falls.

Since Elder Xuan announced the disbandment, Tang San, the first to leave, was now walking briskly on an empty road.

Another week has passed since the selection competition, and the injuries inflicted by the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well have finally fully recovered.

Because today is a training day personally set by Elder Xuan, the Soul Fighting Zone is not open to the public. As a result, the road from the dormitory to the Soul Fighting Zone, which is usually deserted, is completely empty today.

As he walked, Tang San recalled everything he had just experienced, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Although he was forced into the program through connections, he still managed to play two matches with others under Elder Xuan's arrangement.

Unfortunately, he was placed opposite Qiu'er in both matches.

Even though her appearance no longer resembled his daughter's in his previous life, how could he not recognize that this girl was the transformed Emperor Beast when he saw her iconic Golden Dragon Martial Soul and Golden Dragon Spear?

The outcome of the two battles was predictable. The auspicious beast, who had exchanged memories with Huo Yuhao again, wanted nothing more than to beat him to death. If Elder Xuan hadn't intervened in time to protect him during both battles, he would probably have several more holes in his body.

In his previous life, Huo Yuhao sacrificed himself for this soul beast, and in this life, he was utterly humiliated by it. Now, with new and old grudges combined, the murderous intent spreading in his heart was driving him mad.

We absolutely must find a way to improve our strength.

Today's battle made him realize that if things continued like this, the gap in strength between him and Huo Yuhao would only widen.

It wasn't just Huo Yuhao; even the people around that guy were almost as numerous as him.

He was the one who knew best just how terrifying the effects of the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were.

Moreover, most of the immortal herbs available now are 100,000 years old, and their effects are several times greater than those of his era. Now that Huo Yuhao has all these good things to himself, he will definitely share them with the people around him.

Just thinking about it, Tang San could already foresee how terrifying Tang Ya and the others' talents would become after obtaining the immortal herbs.

Now that I think about it, the mythical beast's 100,000-year soul ring must have come from one of the 100,000-year immortal herbs, right?

But what about yourself?

Without the Ice and Fire Refined Body, even with Shrek Academy's resources, he might not be able to replicate his previous life's ten thousand years of spirit rings.

If he were to forcibly absorb it and then inflict some hidden ailment on his body, he would practically be on the verge of collapse.

While feeling agitated, Tang San suddenly noticed a figure shrouded in black robes in front of him.

As if they were just passing by, they walked slowly and deliberately in their direction.

For some reason, even though he didn't sense any threatening aura from the other party, a chill inexplicably rose in his heart the moment he noticed that figure.

Without the slightest hesitation, the eight spider spears burst forth from his back.

As Tang San retreated rapidly, he flipped his hand and took out the Zhuge Crossbow from his storage space, then raised his hand and pressed the button towards the figure.

puff--

With a series of muffled sounds, more than a dozen steel needles made of refined iron shot out from the tiny holes, heading straight for the black-robed figure.

"what?"

Seemingly surprised by Tang San's sharp perception, a slightly puzzled voice suddenly came from beneath the black robe.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying surge of soul power erupted, and Tang San's expression changed drastically. The steel needles were blown away by the invisible shockwave before they could even get close.

one two Three

Looking at the nine spirit rings slowly rising from beneath the black-robed figure, Tang San's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Judging from the current situation, this person is clearly targeting me.

But why would a Title Douluo come to Shrek Academy to target me?

Before Tang San could think it through, the pressure of the soul power from the Title Douluo descended instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed, and his backward retreating movement was immediately halted.

The vast difference in cultivation between a Soul Master and a Title Douluo meant that the Soul Master only needed to unleash his Soul Power to render the Title Douluo immobile.

In a daze, Tang San seemed to be transported back to the first time he met Poison Douluo at the Heaven Dou Academy, and a sense of powerlessness inexplicably welled up in his heart.

Compared to Tang San's despair, Xuanji Douluo breathed a sigh of relief because the mission was already half completed easily, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Such keen perception—this kid is definitely not simple.

Although it cannot be confirmed that Tang San was the one who attacked Dai Huabin, judging from his obviously extraordinary behavior, it is probably true.

The plan was actually not complicated. He would first capture Tang San, while Cheng Gang, the Mighty Douluo who accompanied him, would find an opportunity to capture Huo Yuhao.

At first glance, the allocation of mission objectives may seem to be reversed, but it is the result of their careful consideration.

Anyone could see that, compared to Tang San, Huo Yuhao, who had already survived an ambush and was the main factor directly responsible for Dai Yueheng's death, was more likely to face retaliation from the Duke's mansion.

Knowing this, Shrek Academy couldn't possibly fail to take precautions, so it was inevitable that the security forces around Huo Yuhao would be strengthened.

In this situation, it would seem more reasonable for him, with his higher cultivation level, to capture Huo Yuhao.

Having served in the military for many years, he had long developed a cautious personality and would not foolishly rush to arrest someone without knowing exactly how many security personnel were around Huo Yuhao.

Although with his level 94 cultivation, even if Huo Yuhao had a titled Douluo protecting him, he could escape even if he couldn't defeat him, this mission was related to the life safety of Dai Hao's son, so he couldn't be so hasty.

After much deliberation, Xuanji Douluo chose a more prudent approach.

—A feint to the east while attacking in the west.

First, send someone to capture Tang San, who has little protection. By the time Shrek Academy reacts, some of the security forces hidden around Huo Yuhao should be drawn away.

Then another person takes this opportunity to capture Huo Yuhao. If he is still protected by a Title Douluo, then they should give up.

In contrast, the former might face the situation of escaping from the pursuit of several Title Douluos with one person, which would naturally be done by the one with higher cultivation.

With his own cultivation level and rich experience in escaping from the battlefield, he was confident that even if a Super Douluo came, he could escape with Tang San.

From the moment Tang San realized what was happening and began to resist, to the moment he was suppressed, the entire process took only a few seconds. After doing all this, Xuanji Douluo raised his hand and reached out to grab Tang San.

Now that he is inside Shrek Academy, to prevent any unforeseen complications, he must leave with Tang San as soon as possible and then attract Shrek Academy's attention once they are at a sufficient distance.

How could Tang San, as the person involved, sit idly by and wait for his death?

He was just ambushed. He had encountered similar situations in his previous life, and he always survived by relying on his wisdom and ability.

In the most serious incident, he even managed to escape with his life from Qian Renxue, who had already attained the angelic divine status, despite being a mortal.

With his brain working at lightning speed, Tang San instantly analyzed the current situation clearly.

Now that I'm frozen in place, using a distress flare is out of the question. All I can do is stall for time and hope someone will notice me.

With his mind racing, Tang San unhesitatingly used another soul skill of his third martial soul.

--bet!

"A senior titled Douluo, how could you engage in such bullying? Don't you feel it disgraces the reputation of a titled Douluo?"

After forcing himself to calm down, Tang San regained his composure and spoke in a calm tone.

"Since you didn't kill me immediately, you must have come with some purpose. I know that the gap between my cultivation and yours is like a chasm, but as the saying goes, it's better to be a broken jade than a whole tile. If I commit suicide, you probably won't be able to explain yourself when you go back, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanji Douluo's movements actually paused briefly, and Tang San naturally saw this. For a moment, even his voice carried a hint of confidence.

"Of course, I'm not saying this as a threat, I just want to make a bet with you, senior. I wonder if you dare?"

"If you win, I swear I will follow you. If you lose, I only need three minutes to escape. If you still catch me after three minutes..."

However, before Tang San could finish speaking, Xuanji Douluo, who had already come in front of him, slapped him across the face.

Snapped--

A crisp sound echoed from the silent road, and the powerful blow made Tang San's head buzz. If it weren't for the surrounding soul power pressure squeezing him, that blow would have sent him flying.

"You want to bet with me? With your mere Soul Master status?"

"You dare to spout nonsense at a Title Douluo without the real strength? I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your teacher!"

Seeing Tang San's cheek quickly swell up, Xuanji Douluo slapped the other half of Tang San's face with his other hand.

"I don't know how talented you are, or how much you are valued at Shrek Academy, making you think everyone should give way to you. But I am not a member of Shrek Academy, nor do I care about the growth of so-called geniuses like you."

"You should be glad you're still useful, otherwise, based on what you just said, I would kill you right now."

He was so angry he almost laughed.

Having lived for so many years, this is the first time I've ever seen such a bizarre person.

打赌

I bet you fucking made a bet!

He had fought on the battlefield all his life and had seen how many people were willing to become prisoners in order to survive. How could he not tell whether a person had the will to live?

Does this kid really think he's a fool?!

In the military, if a soldier disobeys orders and demands to make a bet with his superior, being beaten half to death is the least of his worries.

After slapping Tang San twice, he grabbed the back of Tang San's collar, concealed his aura to the extreme, and silently flew out of Shrek Academy.
