Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's naivety, I tricked her into becoming my wife.

"After all, the greater one's ability, the broader one's mind. Let's just let this matter go. From now on, you'll be classmates, and you'll run into each other all the time."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

The onlookers were all utterly shocked and speechless.

"Forget it?" Director Su frowned, his aura of authority, cultivated over more than twenty years of experience in the academy, pressing down on Yu Xiaogang without any politeness. "Master, I can't stand hearing you say that!"

"Just now, Tang San pointed his finger at me in public and asked if I had accepted bribes. Why didn't you just let it go? He questioned whether Ye Hua had fabricated the story. Why didn't you just let it go?"

"Now that Ye Hua has won, you're coming out and saying we should call it quits?!"

Director Su sneered and turned to look at Tang San, "Tang San, this is the academy, not your home."

"A promise is a promise, and you made the bet yourself. Now that you've lost, you're trying to renege on it?"

Tang San's face turned ashen. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but Director Su didn't give him a chance to speak.

"I'm telling you right now, if you don't honor the bet today, I, Su, will expel you from school right now."

"Notting Junior Soul Master Academy has never admitted a student with depraved character in all its years of existence!"

Director Su's words grew increasingly harsh, causing Tang San's face to flush red and then pale.

The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder.

"Director Su is right. Where did his arrogance go?"

"Exactly! How arrogant they were when they forced others to release their martial souls, but now that they've lost, they think nothing happened?"

"I thought being born with full soul power was something special, but it turns out he's just a loser who won't admit defeat."

"Students with poor character are definitely not worth keeping, no matter how talented they are!"

The discussion reached Tang San's ears.

His fingers trembled slightly inside his sleeve!

It wasn't regret, nor fear, it was anger!

He, Tang San, was an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, a successor of the Xuan Tian Gong, and a genius with innate full soul power!

When have I ever been humiliated in public like this?

But Director Su's words were already absolute.

The only way to avoid being fired is to fulfill the bet!

Once he's fired, he'll lose all his opportunities for advancement. Does he really have to go back to that poor village and spend the rest of his life with his alcoholic father?

Tolerate!

We must endure it!

Tang San took a deep breath, his facial muscles twitched, and finally he managed to force a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Director Su is right, I acted impulsively."

"Since it's a bet, I, Tang San, accept it!"

Seeing this, Director Su took out paper and pen, and Tang San gritted his teeth and wrote down the agreement in front of everyone.

[I, Tang San, have lost my bet with Ye Hua today and voluntarily agree to hand over half of all my earnings for the next six years to Ye Hua.]

[This document serves as proof, and I will never go back on my word!]

He then signed his name and pressed his fingerprint.

Director Su took the document, checked it carefully, and handed it to Ye Hua after confirming that there were no problems. "Ye Hua, please keep this safe."

【Ding--】

[Mission "Betting Against Tang San" Completed]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[The body that is immune to all poisons has been integrated]

A cool power surged from the depths of his bone marrow, starting from his spine and spreading throughout his body along his meridians.

It's so refreshing and cool; you can feel the cool breeze blowing through your stomach as soon as you breathe in, just like you've just eaten a mint!

From now on, any toxins that enter his body will be automatically broken down by this barrier.

Whether it's plant poison, soul beast poison, medicinal poison, or the highly toxic soul skills cultivated by soul masters, none of them are effective against him!

Ye Hua suppressed his joy, took the document from Director Su's hand, and looked up at Tang San.

Then reach out.

Tang San and the Grandmaster looked at each other, puzzled.

"What are you standing there for? Give me the money!"

"It's the beginning of the month today, and the Spirit Hall's subsidies just came in. You haven't spent them all, have you?"

Tang San suddenly raised his head, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"Ye Hua! Don't go too far!" Tang San's eyes widened. "The agreement will naturally start from next month!"

"This month's subsidy was received before the written agreement was signed, so why should it be allocated to you?"

Ye Hua tilted his head, a harmless smile on his face: "I don't care about that."

“The winner takes all, but you said this document is a document you gave me after losing, so the final interpretation right belongs to me.”

"I said we'll start counting from today, so we'll start counting from today. Tang San, you're not trying to renege on your promise right after you signed, are you?"

The people around, of course, enjoyed watching the spectacle.

"That's right, the winner gets the final interpretation, no problem!"

"If you lose, just pay up without hesitation, don't dawdle."

"It's just five silver soul coins, not five hundred. Is it really that big of a deal?"

Tang San's teeth were grinding together.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang, hoping to find some support from his teacher's face.

But Yu Xiaogang's expression was even worse than his, and he was staring at Ye Hua with a complicated look, completely ignoring his plea for help.

No one can help him anymore...

Tang San's fingers almost stiffly opened the money pouch and pulled out five silver soul coins.

He originally intended to use this money to buy forging materials and create hidden weapons.

Now, it's all gone!

The silver coin landed in Ye Hua's palm, making a crisp and melodious clinking sound.

"Thanks." Ye Hua put away the silver coins and turned to leave.

With this written agreement, Tang San would be his black slave for the next six years.

No matter how hard you work, you must always give him half of your income!

"Wait!" Yu Xiaogang shouted.

Ye Hua stopped in his tracks without turning around. "What, Master, as a teacher, are you going to teach your disciple to break the rules?"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood!" Yu Xiaogang's face once again displayed that gentle and refined smile.

"Ye Hua, your talent is outstanding! The Panlong Staff Martial Soul, with innate full soul power!"

"Such talent is extremely rare, not only in Notting City, but across the entire continent!"

His tone was sincere, truly befitting an elder who cherishes talent.

"But have you ever thought that talent is just the starting point?"

"What truly determines how far a Soul Master can go is their theory and methodology!"

"I have studied martial spirit theory for decades and created the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Spirit'!"

"Tang San has already become my disciple. If you are also willing..."

He swallowed hard, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Hua's retreating figure.

"I'm willing to accept you as my disciple! From now on, you will be Tang San's junior brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San's eyes lit up instantly!

Chapter 5 Yu Xiaogang's Wishful Thinking

I'd like to become your apprentice!

Once Ye Hua becomes a disciple of the Grandmaster, he will be the senior brother!

As the eldest brother, he'll have plenty of ways to deal with Ye Hua when the time comes!

Not only is the bet null and void, but from now on in the academy, Tang San will be Ye Hua's rightful elder brother, and it's only natural that he'll be superior to him.

He gets to enjoy the resources first!

If there's a pretty girl, he'll go first!
