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

Chapter 402 Yu Xiaogang, you're out of luck!

A short while later, at the entrance of the academy.

"Yu Yuanzhen, and Yu Xiaogang, are you here to inquire about a solution to the problem of your martial soul degeneration?"

As Qian Daoliu flew high in the sky, he caught a glimpse of the two. His gaze swept over Yu Xiaogang, who stood ramrod straight in front of the gatekeeper with a calm expression. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He hated people who put on airs the most.

He made a self-deprecating comment and continued on his way.

Before long, in the reception room of the Education Commission building, the dean personally received Yu Yuanzhen and his son, after learning that they had come to visit Dragon God Douluo.

"Clan Chief Yu, please wait here for a moment. I will send someone to inform them immediately," he said politely.

After all, he is the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, so he has to give him face. As for whether Senior Yingtian is willing to meet him or not, that is none of his business.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Dean," Yu Yuanzhen replied politely.

The dean, with a smile on his face, went out and called a tutor, instructing him to convey the message. Afterward, he returned to the reception room and waited quietly with the two of them.

Regardless of the outcome, the process was done properly, and the main point was to avoid taking the blame.

A quarter of an hour later, in front of the houses in the villa area.

"Your Majesty the Dragon God, the Jade Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan has come to pay a visit," the instructor relayed truthfully.

"Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang?" Upon learning the situation, Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Tell Yu Yuanzhen that I know very well why his son came to the academy in the first place, and I witnessed the whole process. In addition, since entering the academy, his son has never spent even a moment on cultivation. Such a person who abandons the essentials and only thinks about taking shortcuts cannot gain my approval."

"Let him stop wasting his time and go home obediently."

"Also, after they leave, tell the dean that there's no need to hide what happened today."

"Senior, you're really going to ruin Yu Xiaogang's reputation completely." The mentor understood and respectfully took his leave.

You dare to scheme against the sister whom your senior has personally acknowledged? Yu Xiaogang, you're in for a world of hurt!

He walked quickly and soon returned to the meeting room of the Education Commission building.

Upon seeing the person return, Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting in his chair, immediately straightened his chest, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Does Senior have a reply?" Yu Yuanzhen asked politely.

"The senior did indeed ask me to convey a message to Chief Yu," the mentor said, feigning hesitation as he glanced at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Yuanzhen's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising within him, but he still politely said, "Since you have something to pass on, please speak freely!"

"Then you can't blame me," the mentor thought to himself.

But she still had to put on an act, so she immediately feigned a little embarrassment and lowered her voice to convey her original words.

After speaking, he glanced at the two men's expressions out of the corner of his eye. Yu Yuanzhen's face turned pale, looking rather unpleasant. Yu Xiaogang next door was even more interesting; although he kept his head slightly lowered, his face alternated between red and white, looking extremely ashamed.

The dean remained calm and silent.

"Please excuse my poor appearance, both of you." Yu Yuanzhen suppressed his emotions, stood up, and bowed slightly.

The dean stood up, smiling, "Clan Chief Yu is too kind."

Yu Yuanzhen didn't say anything more. He bowed slightly to the dean again, then turned to look at Yu Xiaogang before turning and leaving.

Yu Xiaogang, who had already stood up, kept his head slightly lowered, his face flushed, and followed without saying a word.

After the two left the room, the instructor spoke up and relayed Zhu Wu's next words.

"You reap what you sow." The dean sneered, then turned and said, "It's most appropriate for you to spread this news. Later, you can invite a few familiar instructors from the academy to a banquet, and then spread the word while they're drunk. You can get reimbursed for all expenses afterward."

"Such a good thing?" The mentor was secretly overjoyed, but kept a straight face. "Yes, Dean."

"Xiao Gang, don't overthink it." On the other side, outside the academy, Yu Yuanzhen comforted him, "Go back and cultivate diligently. Once you break through level 30 and obtain the appropriate soul ring, and with the medicinal herbs the sect has collected during this time to lay a foundation, you might just be able to succeed."

Since things have come to this point, there's no point in blaming anyone further.

"Hmm." Yu Xiaogang looked dejected, his eyes glazed over, and he nodded slightly as a reflex.

That evening, a tutor from the Spirit Hall Academy strictly carried out the plan.

After a meal and drinks, several familiar mentors learned of the situation, followed by the female family members.

"My lord, this is easy to handle. I happen to have some familiar card-playing friends in Wuhun City, and we get together occasionally."

Meanwhile, inside the hotel, Tang Chen slowly woke up while lying on the bed.

"Grandpa." Tang Hao and Tang Xiao immediately came over and helped Tang Chen up.

"My injuries..." Tang Chen asked, sensing that his external wounds had completely healed. He hadn't brought a healing soul master with him on this trip.

"It was His Majesty the Dragon God who helped us," Tang Xiao told the truth.

Tang Hao immediately retorted defiantly, "Hmph, if we weren't fighting under the sun, Grandpa might not have lost!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tang Chen immediately turned around and scolded him, then said in a tone of disappointment, "Hao'er, in the future, you must never act rashly again. Think thrice before you act. Do you really think that without the sun, the Dragon God Douluo can't exert much combat power?"

"Don't forget, that six-winged angel martial soul was just a simulation he created; his true martial soul is a dragon."

"Moreover, it's a dragon-type martial soul of no less quality than a six-winged angel martial soul; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to unleash such combat power. When fighting my grandfather, he didn't even use his true strength."

"Otherwise, Grandpa would have been defeated in the very first encounter."

"How is this possible?!" Tang Hao exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible." Tang Chen shook his head. "Dragon-type martial souls are inherently stronger than physical bodies, let alone after integrating the martial soul and all nine soul rings into oneself."

"The true physical strength of this Dragon God Douluo has absolutely reached an incredible level."

"Furthermore, if even the simulated skills can unleash such power, one can only imagine how formidable their own abilities are. Add to that their rich combat experience and skills, as well as their deep familiarity with the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit."

"His abilities completely overwhelm Grandpa's. If it were a life-or-death battle, Grandpa would probably have no chance to fight back."

"Hao'er, you must know that there are always people more capable than you, and you should change your impulsive nature, or you'll suffer sooner or later. If it weren't for Qian Xunji's wedding today, and the fact that it happened in Wuhun City, but instead in some desolate place outside the city, have you considered the consequences?"

Tang Hao's face flushed red and then turned pale, and finally he seemed to deflate, muttering, "It was my impulsiveness."

If it were in the middle of nowhere, he would probably be long gone.

"You should be glad that His Majesty the Dragon God, as a senior, didn't hold a grudge against a junior like you," Tang Chen sighed.

Otherwise, he probably would have already taken action when he heard Hao'er criticizing Qian Xunji.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Hao'er, did you previously speak ill of Qian Xunji and his disciple Bibi Dong?"

"Huh?" Tang Hao was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why are you asking this?"

He did indeed tell Titan in private that Qian Xunji, as the Pope, had no children of his own, yet he took in Bibi Dong, a disciple who was both beautiful and highly talented. He had not remarried to leave any bloodline for the Qian family for so many years. It was hard not to suspect that he had ulterior motives.

Tang Chen glared at him. "Just tell me, have you said it outside? A real man shouldn't be afraid to admit what he's said!"

Seeing his grandfather get angry, Tang Hao immediately shrank back and whispered, "I've mentioned it a few times in private."

The next second, she immediately retorted, "But Grandpa, you can't blame me entirely, can you? Qian Xunji is already quite old, and he doesn't even have any children. His wife died and he hasn't remarried for so many years. Doesn't the Qian family's martial spirit need to be passed down?"

"After a while, wouldn't anyone start to have doubts?"

"I think I'm definitely not the only one who's thought this way."

"You!" Tang Chen's face flushed with anger, and his internal injuries were inevitably aggravated, causing him to cough lightly on the spot.

"Grandpa." Tang Xiao's expression changed, and he quickly reached out to pat his grandfather's back to soothe him, saying, "Calm down."

Tang Hao stood to the side, somewhat at a loss, completely unaware of what he had said wrong.

Isn't that the truth?

"Hao'er, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth!" Tang Chen said through gritted teeth.

"How can you speak so carelessly about other people's private affairs, especially the private affairs of those who hold a high position in the Soul Master world!"

"Do you know that sometimes, just because of one criticism from you, the sect may incur the resentment of outsiders and gain another enemy?"

"Do you know that the Dragon God Douluo came to this Spirit City because of you?"

"Is this really true?" Tang Xiao's expression was one of surprise.

"Me?" Tang Hao was also surprised.

"That's right," Tang Chen said. "When you were criticizing Qian Xunji, the Dragon God Douluo happened to be passing by."

"This disrespectful old man actually eavesdropped on my conversation." Tang Hao was somewhat annoyed and subconsciously raised his head.
