Chapter 157: The Progress of History

"This person has the compound surname Dugu; could he be the Poison Douluo? But according to the records of the Spirit Hall, this person should be emitting a heavy, fishy stench, yet there is not a trace of any smell right now." Grandmaster was suspicious in his heart; because he was unsure of Dugu Bo's identity, he did not dare to rashly come out and speak.

"You few, come at me together. If you don't dare, then get lost immediately! For the sake of our chance meeting in the Star Dou Great Forest, I can spare you today." Dugu Bo stepped forward a few paces, and the Spirit Rings on his body began to appear one by one: two yellow, two purple, and five black. That powerful pressure once again made the current Shrek group understand what it meant to be unreachable.

A Title Douluo was still far, far too distant from them.

Especially recently, the name of this Title Douluo had been deafeningly famous, and the prestige brought by his reputation further magnified this sense of oppression.

Xue Beng smiled triumphantly, watching the Shrek group who were pressed so they could not move, feeling a burst of pleasure in his heart. Perhaps seven-tenths of his playboy act over these many years was faked, but at least three-tenths was his true nature.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. How would we dare to raise a hand against you!" Grandmaster's expression remained calm, and he actually nodded seriously. "We will get lost right now. Flender, let's get lost."

After saying this, he forcefully pulled Flender with one hand and walked outward; this fellow could truly be considered someone who knew how to bend and stretch.

Flender struggled with force, breaking free from Grandmaster's pulling hand, a cold, sharp light erupting in his eyes. "Xiao Gang, I cannot let Shrek suffer such humiliation."

Grandmaster said angrily, "You aren't afraid of death, but do you want everyone to die with you? A Title Douluo, how could you possibly contend with him? If you were also a Title Douluo, you could also tell people to get lost as you pleased, but you aren't. Even if we old things aren't afraid of death, do you want the children to follow you toward destruction as well?"

After saying this, Grandmaster faced the three Spirit Douluo Education Committee Members. "I am sorry, three seniors. Today's matter ends here, but we will never forget the warmth of your hospitality. We shall meet again."

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

The three Education Committee Members still wanted to keep them, even preparing to personally step in and fight Dugu Bo.

Of course, this battle did not break out; Xue Xing Prince would not let things develop to that extent, as his goal was merely to drive Shrek away.

Moreover, with Dugu Bo's current strength, let alone the three of you, even if three more came, it would not be enough for him to kill.

Just as the few members of Shrek were walking out of the Academic Affairs Office one by one.

To bypass Dugu Bo, Xiao Wu deliberately hugged the corner of the wall and left slowly.

Unfortunately, Dugu Bo still looked at her. "Little girl, it is very dangerous for you to be wandering around at your age. Although you are trying very hard to restrain your aura, and you can even deceive a Spirit Douluo, in front of me, do you think you can hide? Last time, because of the person behind you, I already spared your life; today you actually dare to be so bold as to appear before me again!"

He was truly craving it; a hundred thousand year soul bone was placed right in front of him, yet because of his promise to Tang Hao, he could not make a move.

At this moment, Dugu Bo wished he were a villain who did not keep his word, but as it happened, he was someone who valued promises more than life; what he promised, he would definitely do.

Xiao Wu's whole body stiffened. At this moment, how could she not understand? She had been discovered, and furthermore, she feared that Dugu Bo had seen through her last time, but because of certain reasons, it was inconvenient for him to make a move against her.

In all likelihood, it was the person behind her that he spoke of.

But who was behind her?

Daming? Er Ming?

They were all in the Star Dou Great Forest, and they wouldn't appear in the human world for no reason.

"Senior, what are you going to do to Xiao Wu?" Tang San hurriedly became guarded; in fact, he already suspected Xiao Wu's identity.

She was definitely not some ordinary little girl, but someone very special; otherwise, it would be impossible for the Titan Giant Ape and a Title Douluo to both come for her.

But no matter what her identity was, Tang San truly cherished this younger sister.

"Hmph, rest assured, Xue Xing Prince is my friend; I won't do anything here. Kid, I hope you protect your little girlfriend well." Dugu Bo waved his hand, letting them leave.

"Many thanks, Senior!" Tang San had no confidence to argue with a Title Douluo right now; since the other party was willing to let them go, he should just leave quickly.

Shrek left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and likewise, Qin Ming also left.

Nan Feihuang did not deliberately interfere with this matter; the progress of history naturally executed along its original route.

To Nan Feihuang, Qin Ming could be considered a friend, but only the most ordinary kind; Nan Feihuang would not interfere with his choices, as it had little to do with him.

The Shrek group, having left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, unsurprisingly joined Lan Ba Academy instead.

Liu Erlong even gave the entire academy to Flender, just to keep Grandmaster.

In fact, this academy was funded by Yu Yuanzhen for her; otherwise, as an illegitimate daughter, where would she get such a large sum of money to open such a large Spirit Master academy in the Tiandou Capital, where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold?

And it only recruited commoner Spirit Masters, so they couldn't even collect much in tuition fees.

Giving it away so easily—well, that's why they say if it's not your own money, you don't feel the pain when giving it away.

What was different from the original was the first night they arrived at Lan Ba Academy.

This night was calm and tranquil.

After a night of rest, Tang San came out for morning exercises in high spirits; those who had practiced martial arts since childhood were always more self-disciplined.

Unfortunately, the original him should have been at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well eating the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb; that was more effective for the growth of his physique than ten years of training.

And the person who was supposed to send him the Immortal Herb was still staying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy accompanying his granddaughter.

This meant that Tang San was completely fated to miss out on those Immortal Herbs.

Time passed like this for more than half a year.

Without the Immortal Herb, without the Eight Spider Lances, and without Zhilin to open his acupoints, at this moment, Tang San was only level thirty-six.

He was now thirteen years old, and there was only about a year left until the Soul Master Tournament; whether he could cultivate to level forty before then was still an unknown.

As for Hidden Weapons, his research had some results; although he didn't have the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and couldn't develop Yama's Invitation, he had developed more ordinary Hidden Weapons.

This was all thanks to the help of the Power Clan.

Because he didn't leave the academy, his conflict with Tailong was also brought forward; Tailong, who had fallen in love with Xiao Wu at first sight, was at odds with Tang San everywhere.

After being defeated by Tang San, he brought his father; this time, his father Tainuo did not lose to Tang San, but was beaten up by Zhao Wuji.

Consequently, his father brought his own father, that Godly Craftsman Titan, and recognized Tang San in advance.

Tang San thus learned his father's true identity, and with the help of the Godly Craftsman Titan, he forged quite a few mechanical Hidden Weapons.

Now, for his next step, he was preparing to establish a partnership with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as well.
