Chapter 138: Falling Out

The door opened.

The figures of Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong walked in.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ning."

The figure of the Bone Douluo had already vanished; Tang San stood at the doorway, smiling as he bowed to Ning Fengzhi, with Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and others standing beside him.

The look in Ning Fengzhi's eyes as he gazed at Tang San shifted repeatedly, but he quickly returned to normal, maintaining a gentle smile as he said kindly, "Xiao San, may I call you that, Uncle?"

"You are Rongrong's father, of course you may." Tang San nodded.

The reason for Ning Fengzhi's change in demeanor was none other than the fact that he had just learned Tang San's father was actually the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

This had disrupted his original plans; taking action was now impossible, so it seemed he could only cooperate.

The final result was not much different from the original story, only the price was much lower than in the original because there was no "Tulip of Romance," with nothing else changed.

The reason he agreed to such a cooperation was not for Tang San's sake, but entirely because of Tang Hao's appearance.

He led the group toward the Heaven Dou Team's dedicated Training Ground.

Looking at the blueprints for the Hidden Weapon parts in his hand, Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement, and without lingering, he said a few simple words, gave Ning Rongrong a few instructions, and then rose to leave the courtyard.

"Fengzhi, what do we do now? I never expected that behind this Tang San there would actually stand the Clear Sky Sect."

Tang Hao's voice rang out beside Tang San's ear.

Just as Ning Fengzhi walked out of the academy, the figure of the Bone Douluo appeared once again by his side.

Ning Fengzhi said indifferently, "This is their conflict; what does it have to do with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Do you mean you won't intervene?"

Morning training ended.

"How was it, Uncle Bone?"

"Of course I won't intervene. This Tang San is deep-thinking and stubborn; he cannot be trusted too much, so maintaining cooperation is enough. As for this Shi Quan, he is exceptionally clever and thorough in everything he does; keep a relationship with him, and find an opportunity to reveal Tang San's identity to him. That way, he will remember our favor. As for how to handle it specifically, that will be up to him."

Tang San nodded in agreement.

Ning Fengzhi frowned, "Rongrong is currently a classmate and teammate of Tang San; with this relationship as a buffer, there is no need to worry for now. Besides, I have already reached a cooperation with Tang San, so there are no problems for the time being."

Without comparison, there is naturally no harm; when everyone saw the dazzling array of training equipment on the dedicated Training Ground, they finally realized the gap between them.

"Xiao San, Ning Fengzhi and the others have left. During this time, I will go to the Sunset Forest to investigate traces of Dugu Bo. You and Xiao Wu and the others should train well in the academy and don't run around."

The Bone Douluo answered solemnly, "It is indeed Tang Hao, and judging from the fluctuations of Tang Hao's soul power, his strength is at least Level 93."

Originally, he had wanted to go see Shi Quan, but Tang Hao's sudden appearance left him with no heart for it.

"That's fine, this way we offend neither side." The Bone Douluo nodded.

……

"Then what about Shi Quan and Dugu Bo?"

Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi would never have agreed to such a cooperation.

Not long after lunch, Qin Ming arrived outside the courtyard of the Shrek group.

"Teacher Qin."

When Qin Ming arrived with the Shrek group, Shi Quan and the others had already begun their basic warm-up physical training on the field.

After Qin Ming nodded slightly, he led the Shrek group and introduced, "Dean, this training equipment is targeted equipment. For example, this one is for training arm strength, this one for abdominal strength, this one for leg strength..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang could not help but nod in approval, "As expected of the Royal Academy, this training equipment is interconnected and indeed has its own unique merits."

"Then thank you, Master Yu, for your affirmation of our Xiao Quan." Dugu Yan, not far away, said sarcastically.

Ning Rongrong could not help but stifle a laugh; she knew exactly where this equipment came from—it was all created by Shi Quan one by one.

It was precisely because of this equipment that Shi Quan's training and teaching abilities were recognized by the academy.

Qin Ming coughed lightly and then explained, "This equipment was all researched and created by Xiao Quan."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned green and purple, and for a moment he did not know what to say. He never expected that the equipment before him was actually created by Shi Quan.

There was also a hint of shock in the depths of Tang San's eyes; one must know that even the training ground built for the Tang Sect disciples, designed by generations of predecessors in his previous life, was not as ingenious as this.

And now he was being told that such ingenious training equipment was thought up by Shi Quan alone?

There was also a flash of light in the depths of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes; no wonder Zhuang Zhou told her to follow Shi Quan to cultivate.

Seeing this, Flender spoke up, "Mu Bai, you go try it."

"No problem." Dai Mubai walked up to a bench press and looked at Qin Ming, "Senior, how should this be used?"

"You lie down on it first..." Qin Ming smiled and directed Dai Mubai to lie down, then taught him the movements.

"Keep your shoulders parallel, your back and hips flat against the bench, and grip the barbell tightly with both hands..."

The movements were simple. Under Qin Ming's direction, Dai Mubai quickly understood the essentials and began to try.

As soon as he lifted the barbell off the bench press, Dai Mubai immediately felt the heavy weight of the barbell.

Qin Ming stood beside Dai Mubai and said, "Lift the barbell vertically until both arms are fully extended, hold for one second, then lower it slowly."

After only two or three repetitions, Dai Mubai's face began to flush red.

"Alright, Mu Bai." With Qin Ming's help, Dai Mubai placed the barbell back onto the bench press.

"This barbell is so heavy," Dai Mubai said.

Qin Ming then explained, "This weight is the weight Tianheng trains with. Generally speaking, the training on this equipment is based on difficulty, with a certain number of repetitions per set, multiple sets at a time, with short rests between each set, repeating in this way to maximize the effectiveness of the training."

Yu Xiaogang asked indifferently, "Did you customize this training plan?"

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "No, it was formulated by Xiao Quan."

Yu Xiaogang once again held his head high and said, "Not only is this kind of group training inefficient, but the improvement to the body is also not obvious. It is not as good as extreme training—one-time high-intensity training. This can not only maximize the potential of the body but also shorten the training time. As for the wear and tear on the body, it can be fully compensated for with medicinal baths and medicinal diets."

"If you're so great, have the ability not to use Xiao Quan's equipment." Dugu Yan's voice came again.

Qin Ming immediately scolded, "Yanzi, although this equipment was created by Xiao Quan, it also belongs to the academy."

"Teacher Qin, do you think there is a problem with my training method?" Shi Quan, not even bothering to give Yu Xiaogang a glance, looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, "Master Yu's methods also have a certain logic to them; they are not without their merits."

"I understand." Shi Quan's expression remained unsurprised, and he closed his eyes to continue his warm-up exercises.

Qin Ming frowned as he looked at Shi Quan, then immediately continued to introduce the usage of each piece of equipment in detail to the Shrek Academy group; two quarters of an hour later, after Qin Ming finished his introduction, Shi Quan and the others had already finished their warm-ups and left the Training Ground to begin their individual training.

Seeing that only his own people were left, Yu Xiaogang asked without reservation: "Qin Ming, please compile a copy of the Heaven Dou Team's training plan for me. This way, not only can I arrange a training plan more quickly, but I can also help you optimize your training plan."

"No problem." Qin Ming nodded in agreement.

"Tang San, you all go and try out the various equipment first to get accustomed to them."

"No problem..."

On the other side.

"Xiao Quan, you're just going to listen to that good-for-nothing talk to you like that?" Dugu Yan said without reservation in front of Yu Tianheng.

Hearing Dugu Yan speak of Yu Xiaogang this way, Yu Tianheng's fists tightened slightly, "Yan Yan, he is my uncle; please show some respect."

Dugu Yan's temper had never been good; once the filter of having a boyfriend dissipated, because of Yu Xiaogang, Dugu Yan also felt somewhat displeased with Yu Tianheng, and she retorted directly: "A level twenty-nine self-righteous piece of trash, am I wrong?"

Yu Tianheng let out a low roar, "Uncle's situation is due to a malignant mutation of his martial soul! This isn't what he wanted."

"Tch." Dugu Yan spat in disdain, "Does that change the fact that he is a piece of trash? Xiao Quan has a good temper and can't be bothered to pay him any mind; sorry, I have a bad temper, so I'm going to say it, what of it?"

"A good-for-nothing who isn't even fit to carry shoes for Xiao Quan, yet he puts on airs in front of us? Looking like a human but acting like a dog, how is he shameless enough to bark like a dog in front of Xiao Quan?"

"Shut your mouth!" Yu Tianheng roared in uncontrollable rage, lightning flickering in his eyes.

"Captain..." Yu Feng hurriedly spoke up.

Yu Tianheng glanced at Yu Feng coldly, only to realize that everyone except him seemed to be standing on Shi Quan's side; he seemed to have become the target of public criticism, and the chill in his eyes intensified, "So you all stand on Shi Quan's side? You think he is right?"

"Was Sister Yanzi wrong?" Shi Quan asked indifferently.

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Yu Tianheng's chest heaved rapidly, an indescribable rage gathering in his chest.

Roar!

An angry dragon's roar rang out, and Yu Tianheng swept his cold gaze across the group, "I might as well not stay in this Heaven Dou Team."

Having said this, Yu Tianheng turned and left, walking toward the location of the Training Ground.

"Captain..." Yu Feng called out hurriedly.

It was a pity that Yu Tianheng's figure did not pause in the slightest.

"Xiao Quan, if the captain leaves, what will happen to the Heaven Dou Team?" Yu Feng looked at Shi Quan and asked.

"It's fine, if he leaves, someone will naturally join," Shi Quan's expression remained unchanged; he had long anticipated this, as in the original story, Yu Tianheng had already expressed his desire to follow Yu Xiaogang for training.

This was also one of the reasons why Shi Quan had intentionally kept Shrek Academy at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Even if he didn't intervene, in the original story, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan didn't end up together anyway; rather than letting Sister Yanzi be heartbroken over other things in the future, it was better for him to help the two make a clean break.
