Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 102 Standing Up for My Best Friend

"Who do you think you are? A piece of trash who isn't even level 30! Who gave you the audacity to yell like that here!"

A chilling voice rang out, and everyone in the Nine Star Palace made way. Dugu Bo slowly walked to the front, his emerald green eyes fixed intently on Yu Xiaogang. The powerful pressure made the air seem to freeze, and Yu Xiaogang staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Flander and Liu Erlong quickly stepped forward and released their soul power to protect Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu. Otherwise, facing the pressure of a Title Douluo, a Great Soul Master and a Soul Venerable would have been torn to pieces.

Under the protection of the two Soul Saints, Yu Xiaogang barely caught his breath. His eyes, as venomous as a viper's, stared at Dugu Bo. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Flander stopped him.

Of the few people present, he was the only one who still managed to maintain some semblance of rationality. He bowed slightly and first paid his respects to Dugu Bo. Although he was arrogant, the titled Douluo held the most prestigious position in the Soul Master world, so paying respects to them was not a shameful thing.

After bowing, Flander spoke, "Your Majesty Dugu, I am Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy. This Tang San is a student of our academy. I don't know what he has done to offend Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to forgive him for being young and ignorant. Your Majesty is a Title Douluo. It would be detrimental to your reputation to take a child too seriously."

Are you trying to say I'm bullying the weak?

Dugu Bo sneered, "This student of yours sneaked into my Nine Star Palace in the dead of night and was caught red-handed. Do you know the nature of his actions? Even if I skinned him alive, people will only say it was the right thing to do!"

Upon hearing this, Flander's expression changed. His first reaction was that it was impossible. Tang San was usually a well-behaved and sensible child. How could he do such a thing?

Would Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, really go out of his way to make things difficult for a Soul Master who is as insignificant as an ant in his eyes?

Flander frowned, and suddenly a scene flashed through his mind of Tang San's eloquent analysis of poisons and herbs. He instantly had a guess: Could it be that Tang San was thinking of taking those pills from the Nine Star Palace?

You're so foolish, mistress!

Flander secretly groaned. Tang San's sensible image in his heart was beginning to crumble, but he couldn't abandon Tang San, not only because Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, but more importantly because Tang San was Tang San's father.

When Shrek was still in the suburbs of Soto City, Yu Xiaogang had already secretly told Flander about Tang San's background.

Haotian Douluo!

That was a truly ruthless man who feared nothing and no one. The thought of losing his son in his hands sent chills down Flander's spine.

If he were to die, so be it, but given the current situation, it's likely that even his goddess Liu Erlong will not escape Tang Hao's hammer. How could Flander, the Iron-Blooded Boiling Sheep warrior, possibly accept this?

The problem now is that the person standing in front of him is also a genuine Title Douluo. Although he is not as strong as Tang Hao, he is still far superior to Tang Hao, who is a Soul Saint.

Left with no other option, Flander could only force a smile and say, "Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding! This young man is still very young; he must have wandered in by mistake. Please, for the sake of his elders, show him mercy and let him go!"

"It's about saving face for his elders!"

Dugu Bo looked at Tang San, who was still unconscious, with great interest. Flander was clearly not the fool behind him who couldn't even break through to level 30. He wouldn't do something so presumptuous and boastful. So this little thief who secretly infiltrated the Nine Star Palace must really have some powerful background: "I'm quite curious, who are his elders that I would give them face!"

Flander swallowed hard, carefully looked around, and then used his soul power to transmit his voice: "Title, Haotian!"

Given Flander's status, he certainly wouldn't know about the feud between Tang Hao and the Spirit Hall. But he wasn't stupid either. How could a titled Douluo disappear for more than ten years without a reason? There must be some unknown secret behind it. So he didn't dare to reveal Tang San's identity in public.

"Hahahahaha!"

Contrary to Flander's expectations, after he brought up Tang Hao, Dugu Bo not only showed no fear, but instead burst into laughter.

After a long while, Dugu Bo finally stopped laughing and said, "Who do we have here? It turns out to be a defeated opponent of my Nine Star Palace! If you had mentioned another Title Douluo, I might have let this kid go, but you had to bring up that coward. I'm not giving him any face!"

Dugu Bo and Tang Hao had no enmity, but Yang Wudi had a deep-seated hatred for Tang Hao.

Over the years, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi have been partners stationed at the Tiandou City branch, and the two still have a lot in common on medicine making and poison research.

In addition, Dugu Bo's body had been soaked in toxins for many years. Although the toxins were no longer escalating and causing backlash, his bodily functions had long been severely damaged. If it weren't for his strong soul power and solid foundation, he would have passed away long ago.

So, on ordinary days, Yang Wudi would help Dugu Bo develop some tonics to improve his health. In return, Dugu Bo would give Yang Wudi some of his collection of highly poisonous substances or even some of his own venomous snake to Yang Wudi for research.

Over the years, the two have developed a deep friendship.

During casual conversations, Dugu Bo learned about the cause and effect of that incident from Yang Wudi. Dugu Bo was quite contemptuous of Tang Hao's killing of the Pope and disappearance, and the Haotian Sect's abandonment of its four affiliated clans as expendable pawns.

At this moment, Dugu Bo wanted to avenge his good brother.

"Dugu Bo, how dare you be so disrespectful to that lord!"

Given Yu Xiaogang's soul power level, he definitely couldn't detect what Flander had said to Dugu Bo through soul power transmission. However, based on the current situation, anyone with an IQ greater than 20 could probably figure out what Flander had said.

Our Master Yu is a huge fan of Tang Hao. When his idol was insulted and he saw his beloved disciple who was beaten and bruised all over, Yu Xiaogang finally couldn't hold back anymore.

A surge of excitement rushed to his head, and Master Yu Xiaogang, at level 29, strode forward. Luo Sanpao appeared out of thin air, baring his teeth at Dugu Bo, who was over level 90.

"Two dragons, Flander, help me!"

Faced with Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong's IQ was clearly negative; without saying a word, she stood in her own position.

Flander sighed inwardly. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to clash head-on with a Title Douluo. However, since his good brother and goddess had already gone in, he had no choice but to follow suit!
