Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 232 He fled, he chased, he had no way to escape.

"Go on, Qin Ming really can't make that decision."

"However, I'm right here now, giving you a chance to convince me. Come, tell me how your disciple can replace my nephew and become a control-type Soul Master in the team."

Zhilin was well aware of Yu Xiaogang's identity, but so what? He was just a pawn, and besides, this was his territory.

It's important to understand that Yu Xiaogang's position as teaching assistant was decided upon after discussions among the three of them, essentially as a gesture of respect towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Now it seems that such a person shouldn't have been left here at all.

After Dugu Yan dropped out of school, in order to ensure combat strength, Zhilin also had his nephew, who had already graduated, rejoin the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although he wasn't a genius, his soul power level wasn't low because he was older than the others; it was currently level 42. Moreover, he had been working and cooperating with the team for so long, all for this Soul Master Competition.

Now, this rotten apple has been replaced by a Soul Master of level 30 or so, which is unacceptable to Zhilin.

Most importantly, you are a recognized waste in the soul master world, and your disciple is a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Perhaps there are secrets, but as it stands, apart from the cultivation speed, he is just so-so compared to other plant-type soul masters of the same level, or even weak. Who gave him the courage to mock the Azure Vine?

"Chief Education Officer Zhilin, that's not what I meant..."

Yu Xiaogang's face turned bright red. He had inquired beforehand and knew that the Soul Master in the current team came from a small family, judging from his name. No one had mentioned that he was Zhilin's nephew. How did he happen to run into him?

"I don't want to know what you mean. Just tell me where your apprentice is better than my nephew. If it were him, could you and he guarantee the team's performance in the Soul Master Competition?"

Zhilin had no interest in listening to his explanation; he was busy.

Yu Xiaogang stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything. The hidden weapon was unique to Tang San and very powerful, but it couldn't be used in the Soul Master Competition.

He only hoped that Tang San could achieve some success with the help of his teammates, but he couldn't guarantee the results of the Royal Fighting Team.

"If you can't explain yourself, then get out. Also, your teaching assistant status is revoked because you're unfit to be a teacher. I'm giving you three days to pack your things. After three days, I don't want to see you in the academy again."

Zhilin made the decision directly, even canceling Yu Xiaogang's teaching assistant status.

"And you two, now that you've joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, don't do anything that would bring shame to the academy. This is the first time; don't let it happen again."

After saying that, Zhilin didn't even look at Yu Xiaogang, who was standing there dumbfounded, and walked past him, opening the door and leaving.

Qin Ming and Flander exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and remained silent.

"That old scoundrel is simply going too far."

After a long pause, Yu Xiaogang said through gritted teeth, but received no response from anyone.

"Qin Ming, I've dragged you into this."

Flander took a deep breath, ignoring the still-mad Yu Xiaogang, and bowed to Qin Ming.

His actions startled Qin Ming, who quickly stepped aside and helped Flander up: "Dean, this is unacceptable. Besides, I didn't help at all. I didn't expect the Zhilin Education Committee to come today and even choose to sit in on the proceedings."

Flander glanced at Qin Ming, who still treated him with great respect, and shook his head with a smile: "Anyway, thank you. Also, don't call me Dean anymore. Now, we are colleagues. In fact, if we really want to talk about it, your status in the academy is even above mine."

Qin Ming stubbornly shook his head, indicating that he still regarded Flander as the dean.

Seeing the two still putting on a show of teacher-student harmony in front of him, Yu Xiaogang lost his temper and walked up to them in a fit of rage, pulling them apart.

"What's the point of all this nonsense? Come on, tell me, how is the mistress supposed to get into the first team now?"

Just as he stared wide-eyed, waiting for their answer, he felt himself leave the ground and fly up.

That's right, he flew up; Flander swung his arm and sent him flying.

Immediately afterwards, his body slammed heavily onto a chair by the door, spitting out a mouthful of blood, which was completely hidden by his mask.

This action startled Qin Ming, who instinctively reached out to help Yu Xiaogang up, but was stopped by Flander.

"Qin Ming, ignore him. Also, he is no longer my sworn brother. If you see him in the future, just pretend you don't know him. He has nothing to do with you and has never taught you a single day."

As he spoke, Flander walked up to Yu Xiaogang and looked down at him.

"I've done what I promised. The rest has nothing to do with me. You should explain it yourself. Don't push all the problems onto others. Qin Ming has absolutely nothing to do with this."

"You heard what the Education Committee member said. You are no longer an assistant coach. In three days, please stay away from the training ground. Also, from now on, the second team will refuse your visits."

"Now, please get out of here, okay? I feel disgusted just looking at you."

Flander pointed his finger at him and berated him, making Yu Xiaogang's lips turn purple with anger, but he still endured it. Flander had already laid a hand on him, so no matter how irrational he was, he wouldn't argue with him at this time.

He struggled to his feet, glared at the two men with hatred, then turned and left the office, adding another curse to his name in his heart.

When Tang Hao appears, he will definitely tell the whole story of what happened today.

You're going to die, Flander!

After walking a distance, he stopped, somewhat bewildered. Now that he had been fired, where should he go?

Moreover, after his anger subsided, he also thought about more serious matters.

If Flander is to be punished by Tang Hao, what kind of treatment will he receive as the main mastermind behind this event, who even promised that it would definitely succeed?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver, as if his left leg was hurting again.

No, he has to escape, escape quickly, he doesn't want to die.

He looked around somewhat nervously, feeling that Tang Hao was everywhere.

Yes, he still has hope. If his bone replacement research is successful, his mistress can also benefit.

However, he must first avoid Tang Hao's current anger, and he also needs money to prove the bone-changing thing.

Money, money, the image of Liu Erlong flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. With Flander around, the first thing Tang Hao would think of upon his return was Liu Erlong, and that place was absolutely off-limits.

By the way, Xiao San, he did save some money, and the academy also gave them a certain amount of money as a reward after they joined, so he must still have some.

Ultimately, once he develops a solution, Tang San will also use it, which can be considered an advance payment.

Yu Xiaogang was focused on getting there before Flander and rushed toward the training ground.

-

In the training field, Tang San had only just gotten into the zone when he heard Yu Xiaogang's shouts again.

"Mistress, mistress, come here for a second."

Judging from Yu Xiaogang's voice, he seemed somewhat anxious and uneasy.

Tang San took a deep breath, nodded to the others, and walked outside.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang had already tidied his clothes and changed his mask, and looked no different from when he left.

But Tang San was no ordinary person. The moment he got close, his nose twitched, and he smelled the faint scent of blood on Yu Xiaogang. Although it was very faint, it made him wary.

Weren't we going to find Senior Qin Ming? Why is there a smell of blood? And the teacher seems a bit anxious, constantly looking back at where they came from. What happened?

"Teacher, what's wrong? Is something not going well?"

Despite being on high alert, Tang San's face showed a respectful expression, along with a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing his words, Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal.

"Things have indeed run into some trouble, as you know. The Soul Masters and nobles in Tiandou are all rather worldly-wise, so they need some money to smooth things over. Yesterday, I..."

His voice lowered, as if he felt ashamed to be speaking to his disciple about these things.

Tang San noticed his earlier strange behavior. After glancing at Yu Xiaogang, he thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a money pouch, which he handed over.

"Teacher has been working hard for his disciples, so how could I let you spend money? Here are two hundred gold soul coins, please take them first."

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and quickly took it and put it away.

"Enough, enough. You go ahead and cultivate, little sister. I'll be going now."

He intended to turn and leave, but after taking a step, he turned back and looked into Tang San's eyes.

"Mistress, do you believe me?"

Tang San was slightly taken aback, then immediately replied, "Of course, you are my teacher."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes reddened, and he choked up a little: "That's good, Xiao San. Remember what you said today. Even if you hear some news that is not good for your teacher, you must believe in your teacher."

"Next time we meet, your teacher will definitely give you a big surprise."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Tang San's reply and quickly walked away into the distance.

Watching Yu Xiaogang walk away, Tang San's heart sank. It seemed that something was indeed wrong. Also, what did he mean by "see you next time"?

However, his money wasn't so easy to obtain; it was money he had been saving to buy various metals to forge hidden weapons.

Previously, he knew Yu Xiaogang had problems, yet he still handed him over; how could he not have had a hidden agenda?

He quickly walked towards the training ground, said a few words to Xiao Wu, and then quickly chased after her.

Returning to his previous spot, he sniffed lightly and detected a peculiar scent. He then followed the direction Yu Xiaogang had gone.

The money pouch he just handed to Yu Xiaogang contained his specially made tracking powder. This powder emits a unique fragrance that lingers for at least an hour once it comes into contact with the skin.

And right now, he is following this scent.

Ten minutes later, Tang San watched as Yu Xiaogang walked out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and stopped a carriage.

After a brief period of hiding, he flagged down a carriage and followed them.
