In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 204 Another Way to Die

Yu Xiaogang was very conflicted.

In just the first four matches, Long Yingtian displayed combat power far exceeding that of his peers. In particular, he defeated Yu Tianheng in one move, something even his disciple Tang San could not do.

The facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't deny them even if he didn't want to. He couldn't help but worry about his disciple.

What if the mistress gets seriously injured by Lung Ying-tien?

"Teacher, I think this is an obstacle I must overcome!" Tang San said solemnly when he saw Yu Xiaogang's hesitation.

No one knows a student better than their teacher, and how could Yu Xiaogang, as his teacher, not know his student's temperament?

His disciple had always been a standout among his peers and a source of pride for him. However, the appearance of Long Yingtian and Long Ling'er, coupled with their consecutive defeats, somewhat hurt his disciple's self-esteem. At the same time, it also ignited his disciple's strong competitive spirit.

His disciples have already paid too high a price for today's battle.

If he disagrees, it might become a grudge, which is not a good thing.

"Well, so be it." Yu Xiaogang sighed, turning to look at the stone mill. "Let's stick to the original tactics. After all, this is a competition. Just do our best. Victory and defeat are common sense in warfare. Winning or losing is a kind of experience."

"The result is not important; participation is what matters."

Consume as much as you can, it's good to give your disciples more opportunities.

If the mistress can beat Long Yingtian on the field, he believes that his mindset will definitely have a new breakthrough.

"Yes, Master." Shi Mo nodded and strode in, glancing at his brother Shi Mo, who was being carried back by Qin Ming. The other man was pale and trembling all over.

A surge of anger rose within him; they were siblings from the same mother, and had been close since childhood.

Soon, they arrived at the designated location, looked at Long Yingtian, and stood ready for battle.

"Xiao Wu, you don't need to go on stage later." In the rest area, Tang San suddenly turned to look at Xiao Wu.

He was really worried that Xiao Wu would get hurt.

"Third Brother, this is also an obstacle I must overcome." Xiao Wu shook her head, her gaze resolute.

No matter what, she was determined to help her third brother defeat Long Yingtian. She continued, "Don't worry, I'll admit defeat immediately if I sense anything amiss."

"The match begins!" the referee's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhu Wu remained calm, raising his hand slightly, "Path of Frost." Two streaks of white frost immediately rose from the ground, darting side by side towards the millstone like snakes, moving at an extremely fast speed.

Graphite's expression was solemn. His third spirit ring lit up, and he threw out his shield without hesitation.

"Puff puff puff!" Countless armor plates scattered and pierced the ground, hitting the frost.

However, it did not provide any obstruction whatsoever.

Within sight, the frost continued to move forward without slowing down.

Graphite frowned instantly, then instead of retreating, he advanced, re-condensing his shield in his hand and charging directly towards Zhu Wu. Encountering frost on the ground, he seized the opportunity and leaped into the air. Then, he saw the frost turn and follow, immediately lowering its shield.

His idea was simple: use the shield to cushion the freezing effect upon landing, and then seize the brief opening to jump away and avoid it.

On the other side, Zhu Wu, seeing this, immediately raised his hand slightly.

"Crackling sound." A strange sound like ice cracking came, and in the field of vision, two ice spikes shot out rapidly from the Frost Path, scattering along the way and turning into two ice vines that wrapped around the stone mill jumping in the air. Frost began to spread the moment they made contact, freezing people in the blink of an eye.

"It can even produce such a change." From the sidelines, Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes gleamed with a thoughtful expression.

"Third Brother, I'm going." Before Tang San could speak, Xiao Wu walked straight into the arena.

Qin Ming then went up to the field and took on the task of carrying people.

Before long, only Xiao Wu and Zhu Wu remained in the arena, and the referee's announcement to begin rang out.

The next second, Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed, and she moved like a rabbit, rushing directly towards Zhu Wu.

The latter remained unmoved, waiting for Xiao Wu to attack.

"Third Soul Skill, Teleport!" At a distance of nearly five meters, Xiao Wu flashed and instantly appeared behind Zhu Wu's head, raising her foot to kick his cervical spine.

As if he had anticipated this, Zhu Wu swiftly raised his right hand, grabbed her ankle, and then threw her forward with a thud. His eyes reddened as he met Xiao Wu's gaze as she flew backward, uttering a "Fearful Gaze!"—a mark of a fear-inducing dragon he had found with Zi Ji's guidance.

Within sight, Xiao Wu trembled violently, her eyes reddened, and her face showed fear.

With a thud, his body landed on the ground.

The scenery around me changed; the surroundings were now lush with vegetation, and I could hear my mother calling out to me.

"Xiao Wu, run!"

"Mom!" Looking up, she saw her mother, and next to her was a woman in purple with spider spears growing from her back.

With a "thud!", the spider spear behind the woman in purple rose up and pierced her mother's heart.

"No!" Xiao Wu shouted.

"???" Outside the arena, in everyone's sight, Xiao Wu, who had just landed, was lying on the ground rolling around, her whole body convulsing.

"Third Brother, no!" In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu suddenly cried out again.

In her dream, she encountered her third brother while fleeing; her third brother was being chased by Long Yingtian and his men.

"We surrender!" Yu Xiaogang shouted directly. He didn't even need to guess that Xiao Wu had fallen for Long Yingtian's illusion-type soul skill.

With a series of rapid thuds, Tang San rushed into the arena and struck Xiao Wu in the neck with a chop to the neck, causing her to immediately collapse.

Long Yingtian and Tang San gritted their teeth, looking up at Zhu Wu with chilling intent in their eyes. Without a doubt, Xiao Wu had a nightmare, a truly terrifying one! Tormenting Xiao Wu with nightmares was absolutely unforgivable.

There is already a way to die.

Zhu Wu chuckled, "Want to avenge Xiao Wu? Come on, then prove it to me with your strength."

"Rest assured, in a battle between peers, even if I die today, my Illusionary Beast Sect will never pursue the matter, much less seek revenge."

But it's a different story if the big bullies the small. Tang Hao, we'll see if you can hold back from here on out.

"As expected of the Beastmaster Sect, they are full of confidence." An audience member remarked.

Tang San remained silent, handed Xiao Wu to Qin Ming who had run up, his expression returned to its coldness, and walked to the designated spot, quietly watching Zhu Wu.

"The match begins!" the referee's voice rang out quickly.

Knowing that Long Yingtian would keep his word in public and wouldn't take a single step, and also knowing that the Blue Silver Grass martial soul couldn't harm Long Yingtian in any way, Tang San chose to rush to close the distance as soon as possible, his venomous fangs extending from his mouth, his right hand lightly clenched.

The Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit appears.

"This is... the Haotian Hammer!" The audience members who knew anything about the Haotian Sect were all shocked.

"The Clear Sky Sect has already declared its seclusion, so he is," Xue Qinghe continued, "the son of the Clear Sky Douluo?"

"Tang Hao's son!" Those who heard this were even more shocked.

Salas displayed the expected emotion, his face instantly darkening.

"So, the titled Douluo who attacked Long Yingtian at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy back then, could he be...?" The high-ranking officials of various forces who knew about the incident back then, as well as the members of the academies in the Heaven Dou City competition area, couldn't help but make a guess, and were even more shocked.

If concrete evidence could be found, what would the Beastmaster Sect do? This question inevitably came to mind.
